Ma En did not answer the Ninth King immediately, because there were a few things that needed his attention in the Ninth King's words just now, which made him ask the Ninth King instead:
"You mean you want to save us humans from other Titan Kings' plans for humans, but you just mentioned that you think the original human being is your mother, which means that you actually also know who you are after being transformed. I am no longer the same human being as before, but when I came here...
"You have personally said that your plan is to transform all mankind into Titans, but according to your opinion, doing so seems to mean killing all mankind. This is not saving all mankind at all."
"That's right." The Ninth King admitted naturally, "This can only preserve human memory and consciousness, although those new Titans will unconsciously convince themselves that they are you, otherwise they will be confused. My self-identity is tortured extremely painfully, but you are right.
"Some Titan Kings may not know much about it, nor are they interested in knowing it, but I, who inherited the memory of a biologist, know the essence of the transformation ritual - creating a new life by sacrificing one life.
"So transforming all humans into flesh and blood Titans is indeed an extremely cruel act as you said, and has nothing to do with saving humanity, but I think you can understand that the road needs to be taken step by step.
"Even this proposal has been opposed by most Titan Kings, and many young Titans instinctively resisted after hearing my idea. Even the Ninth City has many opponents of this plan.
"If I directly say that I want to save mankind in other ways, then all the Titan Kings who are wavering now will stand opposite me, and even my people will continue to accumulate resentment against me.
"If you really want to stop them, you can't reveal your intentions immediately. Don't look at what I said. You should pay more attention to what I am doing now. After you mentioned the possibility of alliance with humans, I have been making sure That possibility and wanting to make it happen, that’s the whole point.”
What the Ninth King said was almost all the truth. Although she did not say that she had considered transforming all mankind, that was only the last resort when there was no choice. After all, it was better to turn all mankind into ashes than to turn all mankind into ashes. At least this method would not completely destroy this civilization, the civilization she had "been in" and originated from.
Ma En was also vaguely aware of this. This was also because the Ninth King had no intention of hiding it. She already expressed her thoughts by saying "This can preserve human memory and consciousness", but Ma En also believed in the Ninth King. What she said at the end is what she wants to do now.
If she was not telling the truth, she would have secretly executed herself long ago. Ma En had no reason to doubt the Ninth King, and she also had an extremely reasonable motive.
Although it seems that her behavior can be regarded as betraying the Titans, if you think about it this way, she also "betrayed" humans in the beginning, so betraying the Titans is not impossible for her now.
What's more, these Titan Kings are not completely new Titans. They can be regarded as half-human and half-Titans. They are not purely other races. It is natural that they would not want to watch the destruction of human civilization.
"So you want me to help you contact Shenxiao and the Federation?" Ma En asked.
The Ninth King looked at him and said:
"This is something that must be done, but it is not our most urgent priority. Without the help of others, Kallet would not be able to make up his mind to betray me, and this person who helps him is the biggest obstacle.
"But fortunately, we took this opportunity to determine who least wanted me to help humans. This time it was the second king who provided help to Kallet. In fact, he did not openly object to my proposal in the past, and even secretly opposed it. My proposal shows the goodwill of Mohu.
"If I hadn't gotten this information because of this incident this time, my plan would have definitely encountered all kinds of inexplicable resistance, and I wouldn't have been able to find the real mastermind for a long time.
"Fortunately, he still showed his flaws, but at this point I have to apologize to you again...
"Because in fact, I personally leaked the news about humans appearing in the Ninth City."
Ma En blinked in surprise.
The Ninth King smiled and said:
"In retrospect, do you think their sudden appearance was too coincidental? Moreover, I also said that long-distance transmission of information here is very difficult, so it is not that easy to spread the news to other cities in just a few days. But it is precisely because of this...
"They couldn't realize this was a trap in a short period of time, and by the time the second king really reacted, it was already too late, and he couldn't just watch that opportunity slip away.
"Although not saying it in advance may make you unhappy, I am a Titan King after all. The decisions I have to make cannot always be known to others immediately, otherwise I will not be able to accomplish anything.",
Ma En immediately replied:
"I understand all this. You don't actually need to explain anything."
The Ninth King's performance is indeed somewhat different from Ma En's initial impression of her, but this is what she should have and her attitude. If Ma En is right, the main purpose of the Ninth King's doing this is to Find out who's opposite her in Titans, but also pick up and watch yourself. ,
Although she said that the reason why she did not speak out to stop Carlite was because she was afraid of exposing herself, Ma En felt that she must have been prepared to be exposed long ago. As long as she showed the slightest sign of defeat, she would have to reveal her identity. In fact, this It was something that was very likely to happen, so she wasn't that worried about her identity.
The fact that she dared to take the initiative to release the news meant that she was sure of ending this trial at any time. So it is more likely that the Ninth King still did not stop Carlite because he wanted to see how far he could go.
Fortunately, he didn't do anything extraordinary after he noticed something strange. When the fifth-level weapon capable of robbing souls fell into the city, he didn't be greedy to pick it up.
Because she dared to let herself leave at that time, it also revealed that she actually had a way to monitor herself remotely, and she had a way to remotely stop Carlite when he wanted to kill her.
If he had exposed some greed at that time, the Ninth King might not have waited for him to come back, and his chance of joining forces with the Titans to fight against God might have been ruined.
These Titan Kings are not that simple...
