[Spell Back to Battle] Asuka

45.

"You may need a moment to think about it, my child—I will go back and wait for your answer."

exhausted.

"For the sake of the empire and the future of Omega, I believe you will give a satisfactory answer."

Tired like never before.

"What you can do, lead everyone out of the quagmire, establish a new class order, and step on Alpha. For this, you should make more and great attempts, and the Academy of Sciences will be happy to cooperate with you... I remember your ideals Liberate the Omega's uterus through artificial embryos? You will do it."

I closed my eyes and felt my world crack open in a whirl.

The blue sky turned into the ground, and the iron railings behind the clouds shone coldly.

I fell, and I was smashed to pieces.

This world is false.

I sent General Ellie away with a smile, closed the door, and curled up in the quilt alone, feeling as cold as my exposed toes.

What I have been pursuing all along is nothing but a false existence—ha, artificial embryos are used to liberate Omega wombs, and this is probably the only time I would believe such nonsense.Now I have a better understanding of those ethical issues. Under the constraints of various aspects, it is impossible to completely replace normal fertility in a short period of time, and it will not be popularized to the public. After the success of artificial embryo research, it is more likely that it will be replaced. For covert research in labs, human organ research, and more—including mating through gene editing.

Now that I think about it, all the clues are already in front of my eyes, the inferior gene Omega, the death of Satoshi, my ability to edit genes, the encouragement of General Ellie, the advanced new human beings, and the sudden support of the Academy of Sciences: Apart from the oppression of the elders' house, these The clues formed another thread, leading to a dark end I never thought of.

I'm nothing short of a fool, a fool who pursues an ideal that can never be realized—and that ideal is even induced.

I began to recall where my ideals came from... I remembered the first book on natural science on the shelf, I remembered the smiling face of General Allie, who was already blurred when I was a teenager, and I remembered the double room where I lived alone , I remembered the gift that Senior Nanami brought me when he first came to see me as my mentor—"General Ellie told me that you want to know the history of modern times", so he brought me relevant information about the development of modern Omega More books on data and natural science... then genetics, monarchism, which should still be stacked on the bookshelf in that small double room.

My ideals all come from that room—the room that someone else built for me.Free tentacles grow along the narrow walls, eventually taking the shape of the room.

Like melons and fruits shaped in molds, like mutagenized genes.The rain falls from the sky because of gravity, and the bird thinks it is a kind of freedom to fly to the sky, but in fact it is just because of the deep-rooted habits engraved in the genes.Everything has traces to follow, and it seems to exist freely within the framework of the world.

My ideal is the same - in fact, now that I think about it, if it weren't for the weakness and naivety of Rika and me, I subconsciously rejected the idea of ​​exploiting the weak for profit, maybe I could indeed be completely lured into General Ellie who wants to look.An Omega that has not been in contact with the outside world is like a blank sheet of paper, which can easily be easily and wantonly painted into the desired color.

But I do have very different ideas from hers.

I think that the contradictions, conflicts and oppression between genders are ultimately class conflicts. The higher class oppresses the lower class, and the resulting conflicts are endless.As long as the problem of class is solved, and the House of Elders and their stupid traditional class are overthrown, the AO problem will also be solved.

I naively thought General Ally thought like I did to encourage me - but I forgot the crucial point: General Ally was at the high end throughout.

As an Omega, she who is also oppressed is the bottom class who is exploited and oppressed, but as a general, she is the upper class.This kind of her of course has the same common problem as the old bastards in the elders' house. They only have collective interests, the empire and the future of mankind in their eyes. Anyone who is lower than them, regardless of gender, is just a pawn and can be easily discarded. .

So they can experiment with Omega or other genders with inferior genes. The key point is not gender, but inferior people that they can discard in their eyes.

...like Satoshi.

I clenched my teeth tightly, feeling the smell of blood spread in my mouth.

"The use of inferior gene Omega for experiments is a saving of Omega resources."

"For the prosperity of the empire and the evolution of mankind, someone must make sacrifices—you can make some great attempts."

Everyone is talking to me about bloodshed, about sacrifice.I also know that many things cannot be done without sacrifice...

But why—but why is Lixiang?Because Lika is an inferior gene Omega?Is this a choice she made herself?Should Inferior Genes Be Abandoned?Why do they still say such high-sounding words after doing such a thing-"for the benefit of the majority", who are the so-called majority referring to!It is up to them to decide who to sacrifice, what qualifications do they have—

I felt blurry in front of my eyes, and hot and humid tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes.

Self-blame, pain, and guilt, I am immersed in black memories: I would rather that person be me... I would rather be the one who bleeds and sacrifices.

The strong oppress the weak, the upper class oppresses the lower, and the weak prey on the strong. This is probably the unquestionable iron law of this world.Different positions will result in different groups and different classes. Human beings can never be exactly the same, and it will never be possible to form true equality without any grievances.

General Aili, who has been oppressed for many years, has obviously realized this long ago.One is strong and the other is weak is far simpler than a perfect balance. The best way to save Omega is to enslave Alpha.She was greatly disappointed by the inaction of her companions, so she chose to change the future through extreme individual efforts.But at this extreme, not to mention the new contradiction between A and O, new class antagonisms have also emerged within Omega, and the problem has not been resolved—of course, perhaps for her, such class problems do not belong to her Within the scope of consideration: For interested parties, it is always so natural to obtain vested interests and advantages, just like the Alphas who obtain most of the advantages today.

It is precisely because I can understand the choices she made after going through complicated experiences and struggles that I am unprecedentedly and soberly aware that the ideal of "everyone is equal" is wrong and impossible to realize.Perhaps only when there is an overriding power that sets the rules that people have to abide by, can people who are framed in the rules get "equality".

That person should represent absolute fairness and reason, like a god, without selfishness.

And there shouldn't be such a saint in the world.

I closed my eyes and looked away from the strange, grotesque world in front of me that I had never really understood, and which now seemed increasingly alien.

Because of this, that vague idea became more and more clear in my mind.

"Then let me be that person."

They all said that my genes and abilities are the keys to the pinnacle of perfection—then let me become a god, and only when I hold the truth can I accomplish what I want to accomplish.

General Allie was right, Shill was right...they were both right, and I was wrong.Weak equality cannot win, only might can forge all.

I've come this far and there's no reason to stop here.

No matter what, whatever the cost - I'm going to get this done.

For Li Xiang, for my dream, for everyone, I have to do this.There is nothing wrong with this, as General Ellie said, I am already in this position, with the support of Gojo Satoru and many people, I just need to work a little harder and go up a little... I can stand on that position peak.

The shoulder scales buzzed with desire and anger, and there was a red, solidified flame-like luster on the white skin, like poured gold and iron, like blood stains.The smudges and metals expanded bit by bit, gradually covering the whole body—covering the beating, warm heart.

I stood by the mirror with bare feet, looking at myself in the mirror with such strong eyes...

It looks very much like the eyes of General Allie when he was giving a speech.

46.

"You seem to have made up your mind," Yi Gu said firmly while holding a cup of coffee, staring at my face, "When you chose to refuse to complete the fertility target and were locked up in that arena, your expression was almost the same as now Exactly the same."

I locked myself in the room for a day, and I obviously didn't sleep all night, but now I looked radiant, only the faint shadow in my eyes told me clearly: I am indeed different from before.

I took a sip of my coffee and said naturally, "Of course, I can't think of any reason to reject General Allie—what's more, so far, I don't have any other better choices, do I?"

"Of course you have other choices." Yi Gu shook his head, "You don't have to go on this path, you can also let it go and live your own life... What are you laughing at?"

"Isn't it funny?" I raised my eyebrows innocently, and tried to keep my tone from being less sarcastic, "The Elder's House won't let me be so free, or do you want to say that you will protect me and let me live the life I want? ?”

Yi Gu didn't seem to care about my sarcasm, he just put down his glass and looked at me with his usual, inclusive and sincere eyes: "Yes, I will, as I said, I will do my best to support you. "

"Then what if I say I want to marry Gojo Satoru?" I asked.

"...Of course I will respect your choice." He replied.

"Come on..." I muttered, "Your expression is clearly saying that you want to lock me up and mark me for life first."

Yi Gu shrugged his shoulders—after our reunion, he seldom made such innocuous, even playful gestures.

"I'm not really a fan of the forced love series," he said, "but you don't seem to believe it...but I am a pure love type."

"I would believe it when we were on a blind date, but now, your reputation with me is not very high." I said frankly, "You have indeed been honed by the two butcher's knives of time and prison life, aren't you? If you stay there for a long time, you will lose your virginity, no, innocence?"

"It's always hard to avoid these things after staying in prison for a long time. After all, some Alpha prisoners are even willing to engage in AA romances in order to please the strong and live better in prison," Yi Bone pinched his chin, showing a somewhat shy "Of course Mr. Gojo is the one who is tempted the most. Every day, Alpha wants to climb his bed, any position is fine, so it should be difficult for him to maintain his innocence and virginity."

Because I was too shocked, I stared at him for half a minute before I realized: "Are you kidding me?"

"Yes, I'm joking." He said kindly.

It was the first time I heard him make such a colorful joke, and I was so shocked that I almost shattered my three views... It was even more shocking than the fact that he gave me an injection while I was not paying attention and took me away. Shock.

But I quickly realized from his flushed cheeks and jerky tone... probably just trying to make me relax.I have to say, this slightly awkward joke made my tense back relax a bit, and a relaxed smile appeared on my face.

Yi Gu also seemed to relax a little.

"So what decision did you make?" He asked, "General Ally just mentioned a few things to me, but after much deliberation, it's nothing more than the issue of Omega equal rights... What do you think?"

I could see that he really didn't know anything about something that was lurking behind the scenes that disgusted me, or he wouldn't be sitting here so relaxed.

Based on Lixiang's existence...it is only natural for the military to hide it from him.They thought that I was just a fragile Omega who was frightened by Lika's changes at that time, and they didn't associate Lika's changes with me, but thought that it was Omega who made it—especially after Oto tamed Lika and brought her by his side , they have no reason to expose the fact that Lixiang's death was due to a genetic experiment, and define this incident as an "accident".

And Yi Gu obviously didn't know exactly what happened, and also believed that it was an accident.

I also don't intend to let him know and drag him into the water for the time being.

"General Elle wants me to take her place and continue to work for equal rights for Omega instead of her." Under his questioning gaze, I calmly said, "She also wants to introduce me to members of the Academy of Sciences—in short, in this case , the House of Elders should stop trying to touch me."

"They can't touch you either." Yi Gu said, "The military spread the news that they took you back to the imperial capital for protection, and all the people are staring at the empire. At this time, doing something to you is likely to arouse public outrage. Dissatisfied... you seem to have become a symbol of what the people want, of freedom and equality."

Seeing that I had made up my mind, he was finally willing to tell me the news from the outside world: the Elder's House recruited Xia Youjie as a consultant to lead the advanced new human beings; The procession continued, and the crowd began to accuse the imperial family of treating the country like a private paradise, the elder council of cronyism, and demanded open elections and a vote like the people of the Commonwealth.

"No wonder General Ellie made such a suggestion." I said clearly, "If open elections start, based on the public's current distrust of officials, the chances of them choosing me are very high—if I'm good enough."

Now that I think about it, the publicity of the ranking competition may have the shadow of the military department.They wanted to make me a star...whether it was as an equality fighter or a rising star in politics.And I obviously satisfied their assumptions, so I was taken to the Imperial Capital Star.

They probably regarded everything I encountered in the prison as a trial and test, otherwise, in theory, when I was first imprisoned in the elders' house, the military could have taken me away with the power of the military— —if they want to.

I lowered my eyes to cover a shadow in my eyes, and when I raised my eyes, I returned to my usual expression: "What do you think? Yi Gu? Although I always feel that I am not suitable to be a politician..."

"I think you'll be a great leader," Yi Gu smiled appreciatively, "If you want, you can always do anything."

"...Really." Listening to my beating heartbeat, I whispered, "Of course I want to."

Before the emptiness and confusion surged up, I threw away all the thoughts I shouldn't have, and calmly said: "Then please help me reply to General Ellie—give me back my optical brain by the way, it's time to start working. "
