"I have reason to suspect that the other person knows that I can follow him, so I guided the topic and asked friends to complain, so as to ask for support from me."
"I think that's the case."
cc nodded and approved this.
"This young man named Lelouch does have a good mind, but he has a common problem among smart people. He likes to go round and round. If someone needs someone to tell me directly, there is no need for this."
"So, are you going to give him the authority to command more Black Abyss demons?"
cc asked curiously.
Nowadays, the total number of Black Abyss Demons is around 500,000. It seems like a lot, but not to mention that they are distributed all over the world. They are only distributed to the Federation. Throwing this number is basically the same as throwing a big grass carp into the lake. Case.
It cannot be said to be useless, it can only be said to be better than nothing. In terms of its role in maintaining justice and order, it accounts for at most ten percent.
The most important thing is Wu Ke himself. The huge power of consciousness that covers the entire planet is working, and the credit accounts for at least 40 to 50%.
The rest is the secular power of the world itself, which plays a role in maintaining social stability. The proportion continues to increase, gradually replacing Wu Ke and the Black Abyss Demon in maintaining justice, morality and order in the world. role.
Of course, the Black Abyss Demon cannot be completely replaced yet, so...
"As for manpower, I'm afraid I can't give you much support."
In the dormitory of Ashford Academy, the air suddenly shook, and Lelouch and others directly heard a voice saying this.
"Lord Tianzun."
Lelouch's mind was spinning and he bowed slightly to the air. Others also followed suit and bowed to the air.
"Lelouch, I have seen your ability to deal with things. Now I can understand the difficulty you and your friends have raised about lack of manpower, but my manpower is also insufficient. I will give you one or two thousand at most. The support from the Black Abyss Demon, however, this amount actually means nothing to you."
Lelouch: "..."
[One or two thousand Black Abyss Demons have doubled, how could it be meaningless? ! 】
"Well, I'll give you the right to recruit tool men."
[Ah, this, how can a tool man be compared to a black abyss demon who is not afraid of death? A single frontal combat power can be as good as a military mecha, can transform into a shadow to perform various stealth operations, and can also become a black abyss demon with full body armor to protect itself. Woolen cloth? 】
Lelouch was a little depressed in his heart, but on the surface he still reluctantly agreed. Children who cry can get milk, but this time it seems that he miscalculated. The national master he is working for now doesn't seem to have much milk. ah!
"However, there are some things that I should explain to you in advance."
"Please speak."
Lelouch acted like he was all ears.
"The transformation process of the Black Abyss Demon is irreversible. If you use the soul of someone who is not a villain or someone who is definitely worthy of death to transform into a Black Abyss Demon and I find out, I will come to trouble you."
"Transform the Black Abyss Demon?"
The sound that vibrated in the air, and the content expressed in it made Lelouch unable to turn around. But the next moment, a stream of information broke into his mind, and it clearly told him the operation of breeding black abyss demons. .
Of course, this is just a method, not a principle.
After all, even if the principle was given to him, Lelouch, as an ordinary person, would not be able to use it.
"..."
Lelouch, who had completely received the message, had his mouth and eyes twitching constantly.
Originally, he was not very clear about why those divine generals were called Black Abyss Demons by the national master.
But now, he knows.
Because those guys are really made with extreme evil thoughts and using human souls as consumables.
Every black abyss demon is born, a human soul must be sacrificed. Although there are souls specifically referring to villains and damned people, but according to the words of the national master, it can probably be made with the souls of ordinary people. .
The name of devil is well deserved!
Along with the transformation method of the Black Abyss Demon, there was also an introduction to a building called the Wrong Soul Tower. Its effect is very simple. It is a device specially used to torture the soul and squeeze out spiritual energy.
Lelouch had no doubt that he was doing something stupid, and he was probably going to be killed, his soul taken away, and stuffed into the Tower of Wrong Souls for torture.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The national master still implemented this concept and gave him a method to transform the black abyss demon, and also made some necessary restrictions on this transformation method.
"I hope my permission will be of some help to you, and you should not forget that you belong to the righteous camp because of your calculations in your heart."
"The fact that I am allowed to transform the Black Abyss Demon is of great help to me. I will not forget where I stand. I will remember your warning and will never let you down."
Lelouch assured.
After a while, there was no more sound in the air, and everyone raised their heads.
"I just said something, and it was heard immediately, and support came immediately. Lelouch, does the Lord Tianzun you believe in pay so much attention to you?"
Livar asked.
"Now it seems that it is."
Lelouch had just made a guess before, but of course it was confirmed now. The Imperial Master probably paid part of his attention to himself, so he focused part of his attention on that group of people. Like the people who were sneaked into the shadows by the demons of the black abyss.
“Then doesn’t this mean there is no privacy, and every word and deed must be under God’s watchful eye?”
Charlie didn't know what she thought of, and her face looked a little unnatural as she asked this question.
"Well, theoretically, that's true."
Hearing this, Lelouch also became a little uneasy.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was not bad.
"I think this is quite good. Being watched by that... well, the Moral Godhead, when I am in a life-or-death crisis, the other party will most likely not just sit back and ignore me."
Lelouch said, he now has a backer, imagine the strength of the national master and the power of the federation.
Well, even if he was facing the Britannian Empire, would he be vain?
No, Lelouch was not only honest, he also felt that he was very brave.
It seems that if you wander a little more, there will be no problem!
"Well……"
Charlie was a little speechless and didn't know what to say, but there was no doubt that there was an artificial barrier added to her way to express her feelings.
After all, not everyone has the courage to launch an unscrupulous pursuit of their favorite partner while knowing that there are onlookers watching.
"In this case, we have to consider looking for the existence of villains..."
Lelouch was chatting with Kallen over there, but he didn't notice anything unusual about the girl's expression.
"Do you think I should tell this girl named Xia Li directly? I won't be bored and pay special attention to the development of her relationship with the boy?"
Wu Ke asked.
"I feel like if you say it, it will scare the other person."
cc pouted and replied.
"Okay, let young people deal with their own love affairs."
Wu Ke felt that what the witch said made sense. He, a guy who didn't know much about emotional development and was directly pushed into the situation by his wife, had better not get involved in this world and the boy's personal network.
Wu Ke left some consciousness on Lelouch's body, withdrew the other consciousness and glanced at the Witch CC next to him, then let him go to work, and he himself closed his eyes and continued to devote himself to maintaining justice and order in this world. At work.
Well, others are dealing with one area, but he is dealing with the entire world, and there are hundreds or even thousands of complex events that need to be dealt with every moment.
Although this world is not a world that requires him to fight, the requirements for overall coordination capabilities are still very high.
In this process of coordinating the overall situation, the ability to be distracted and multi-purpose has been exercised. Although the improvement is not very large, it has indeed been growing.

"Did you not detect gun smoke reaction or traces of cherry stone energy blasting at the National Assembly?"
Cornelia frowned a little and asked the technician on the other side of the communication.
"Your Highness Cornelia, it is true. The people who blew up the House of Representatives probably did not use conventional gunpowder bombs or cherry stone bombs, but a clean energy bomb with higher energy utilization efficiency."
Technical experts in white coats reported on the testing situation at the National Assembly.
"Do you have any idea?"
Cornelia didn't know much about scientific research, so she chose to directly ask the bomb expert in Britannia opposite.
"The only ones that can produce this kind of explosive effect are the mutant structure chain bombs currently being developed but not yet completed in the highest research and development institutions."
The bomb expert tells it like it is.
“Do we only have this technology, or do other countries also have it?”
Cornelia asked.
"I don't know, but so far, our Holy Britannia Empire is the only one in the world who is researching this mutant structure chain bomb."
The bomb expert shook his head and replied that from the theoretical possibility to the creation of a concrete object, he didn't know how many technical difficulties had to be overcome.
Cornelia asked a few more questions, but when she couldn't find anything, she had no choice but to give up.
Cornelia, who was sitting on the office chair with her hands folded on the table like a commander, frowned and was thinking about something.
She was originally fighting the rebellion in District 18, but the Brittanian Empire called for a truce midway. Afterwards, she received an army mobilization order and came to District 11.
She had never heard of the mutant structure chain bomb, but the bomb expert said that it seemed to be a weapon that could theoretically cause terrorist damage, which made her somewhat doubtful whether it was related to this army mobilization order.
As for who District 11 relies on, it is undoubtedly the Federation. Troops from other places besides her are constantly being secretly mobilized by mobilization orders. Obviously, the orders from the Empire Center are directed at the Federation.
As for the reason for the sudden need to deal with the Federation, Cornelia had also made some inquiries before, saying that a large number of nobles in the country were assassinated, and the person who did it was the Federation.
Of course, at the same time, I also heard some urban rumors, especially in District 11, there was a rumor that the Headshot God was protecting the people of District 11 and killing the Bretons who had committed crimes.
Cornelia naturally didn't believe such outrageous rumors, but since she couldn't find the murderer, she targeted the people in District 11 who were most likely to do such a thing, and raided those lurking in District 11. The resistance organization also has the intention to prove this point.
And now, someone really jumped out and claimed responsibility for the disappointment of the nobles some time ago, but the problem is that I am still annoyed that I can't move the guy named zero.
"The Federation, the Moral Godhead, the Black Abyss Knights, the mutant structure chain bomb, the secret mobilization order of the Imperial Army..."
Cornelia was talking to herself about these factors, and suddenly she felt like an undercurrent was coming, and a storm was about to come. She clearly felt that something bad was approaching, but she was unsure due to insufficient information. The feeling made her irritated.
"Your Highness Cornelia, we found a strange image in the Bayou Conference Center building."
At this moment, another communication came in. After being connected, his own guard captain reported.
"This is?!"
Cornelia's eyes widened when she clicked on the image file sent from the other side.
"This was copied from a home video recorder dropped by the hostages.
Afterwards, we made some inquiries and confirmed the situation at that time.
How did Zero rescue everyone from the Liberation Front without harming the hostages..."
"Is there any surveillance video from inside the building?"
"It was vandalized."
Cornelia took a deep breath.
Looking at his own shadow on the ground next to him, he felt an inexplicable chill rising from the spine of his back.
"Your Highness, should I rush over to protect you now?"
The guard captain suggested.
"No need, if there really is something in my shadow, there's nothing you can do if you come here."
Cornelia waved her hand.
"But, your safety..."
The guard captain spoke again, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Can you guarantee that there is no dirt in your shadow?"
The princess's question left him speechless.
The communication was turned off again, and Cornelia couldn't calm down for a long time.
In the video just now, the process of how the monster hiding in the shadow attacked people was completely recorded.
She asked herself, if there was such a monster hiding in her shadow, she would definitely not be able to deal with it.
This means that from the beginning, the guy who calls himself Zero has already had the absolute initiative in that negotiation, even if no bombs are planted elsewhere, and even if the identity of Yuffie among the hostages is not discovered, it will still be the same. .
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Finally, Cornelia couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up, walked aside and picked up the long sword hanging on the wall, and then started slashing wildly at the shadow at her feet.
A clanging sound resounded in the room. His arms were numbed by the force of the shock before he stopped. At this time, someone outside heard the noise and broke in.
"Your Highness Cornelia, what's wrong? Is there an assassin?"
"No, I just suddenly want to practice swordsmanship."
Cornelia waved her hand for the guard to go out. After the guard went out, she sat back on the office chair.
"There should be nothing hiding in my shadow. Ha, I didn't expect that I, who have experienced many battles, would be afraid of such a thing."
Cornelia let go of the hilt of the sword and rubbed her forehead to relieve her nervousness, then reached over and grasped the hilt of the sword again.
But just when she was about to hang the sword back on the wall, her body suddenly stiffened. Cornelia realized one thing. When she let go of the sword just now, it didn't even seem to shake. That's it. The tip of the sword stood against the ground...
