Meng Chao let out a long breath.
He shook his head gently, trying to get rid of the bizarre yet similar apocalyptic scenes from his mind.
However, countless collapses, destructions, and deaths had seemingly been engraved into the layers of his cerebral cortex. He could not get rid of them no matter how hard he tried.
Lu Siya could see his hesitation.
"So, did you rush here to learn the truth and condemn me or... seek my help?"
The woman, whom he suspected was a wild banshee, tilted her head and smiled. "Let me put it this way... Deep down, do you want me to be the 100% pure human Lu Siya, or the Lu Siya who still has the monster mastermind's power hidden in her body and can become the wild banshee, the Queen of Monsters, at any time?"
Meng Chao was taken aback.
He was stunned for a long time.
Before Lu Siya asked this question, he thought that he had rushed to the Azure Medical Center without hesitation and told Lu Siya everything to expose her scheme and see her true colors. If possible, he would completely dispel the monster's power lurking in her body when she was at her weakest.
Only now did Meng Chao realize in shock that maybe deep down, he had already accepted the fact that Lu Siya had changed forever. She would always be the wild demoness and the Queen of Monsters.
He was not there to confront her.
Instead, he was there to seek common ground with her.
Since he could reach an agreement with Kanus, the Lord of Picturesque Orchid Lake and the Demonic Doomsday Wolf...
Why could he not reach the same agreement with Lu Siya, the wild banshee and Queen of Monsters? Together, they could change the future and stop the apocalypse.
The future was like a vast and flowing river. It was far from enough to set off a chain reaction by relying on a "small butterfly" like him to flap his wings desperately.
If Lu Siya had truly hidden the monster civilization's legacy and she had the nine great families' support, she would indeed be qualified to work alongside him. She could "flap her wings" at the same frequency as Meng Chao and create an unpredictable resonance!
Of course, doing so might cause the overall appearance of Dragon City's civilization to change dramatically. The monster civilization might also be revived to a certain extent.
Moreover, according to Su Mulian's prediction, this might not save Dragon City civilization.
But at least, everything would not be worse, right?
In his daze, Meng Chao saw countless versions of himself. In numerous futures, he saw many different versions of himself who had the same smile as Lu Siya.
As if they had escaped from the broken pieces of a mirror, they floated in the air and kept asking, "Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?"
When Meng Chao made up his mind to part ways with Lu Siya, half of the futures became like candles and occasional sparks in the wind, disappearing in an instant.
They were the futures where Meng Chao and Lu Siya fought side by side or even married each other as the city continue to develop.
When he changed his mind to fighting alongside Lu Siya, the other half of the futures disappeared without a trace, like a drop of water that sank to the bottom of the sea.
These were the futures based on the premise that Meng Chao and Lu Siya went their separate ways and even became enemies.
However, no matter what his choice was, one thing never changed: Whether he chose to fight alongside Lu Siya who still had the monster's power in her body or to part ways or even become her enemy, their future would be completely swallowed by balls of flames... no, billions of flaming balls that fell from the sky, forever destroyed.
This was not the only difficult choice he had to make.
How should he deal with the relationship between the poor and the rich as well as the ordinary people and superhumans?
Should they support the Anti-trust Act? Should it be stricter or gentler? How far should the restrictions on the cultivation families go?
Should they push forward with the research and development of the monster serum and the plan for everyone to become monsters?
In the process of developing the Turan River, should he exchange technology for market development? Should he arm the Turan civilization's orcs with Dragon City's modern weapons? If he wanted to, how much would he need to trade with them and arm them to increase the Turan orc's combat power to a certain extent? It would have to be enough to make them good warriors but also excellent cannon fodder without them rebelling against the Dragon City civilization.
How far should the war against the Holy Light faction progress? Until they were able to plunder and protect Dragon City's interests to the greatest extent as well as completely destroy the will of the Holy Light faction that dominated the Other World but not cross the line with the Holy Light Temple and give the opponent the idea of perishing together with them? Until they were able to activate the ultimate weapon hanging above everyone's head that covered the entire ecosystem?
Every choice was there.
It was the same when it came to how Meng Chao should handle Lu Siya's problem.
Perhaps, there was no correct answer.
Meng Chao was caught in a burning vortex formed by ten thousand apocalypses, and he could not get out of it.
Boom!
An explosion suddenly came from outside the window.
Compared to the Golden Roc's crash, this explosion was not as violent. It seemed to be an accident or a simple self-made explosive.
Meng Chao frowned slightly, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Perhaps it was still too early to consider those difficult long-term problems.
Although the two leaders of the Blood Alliance had already pleaded guilty and received their sentences, the aftermath of the Blood Alliance's chaos was far from over.
If the Blood Alliance was a malignant tumor that fed off the Dragon City civilization, it was absolutely necessary to remove this tumor quickly for the sake of long-term health and strength.
Unlike traditional medicine, after radical surgery, there would be massive bleeding, organ failure, and many other complications, which would lead to an earlier death.
Such risks existed objectively.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Song Jinbo walked back to the ward with small steps and a slightly anxious expression.
He brought them a piece of bad news.
The explosion earlier had not been caused by the Blood Alliance's survivors, who were still resisting.
Instead, angry citizens had surrounded the headquarters of Thundercloud Technology, demanding that Thundercloud Technology stopped all daily operations and waited for judgment and punishment to atone for all the things that Yun Feidian had done.
As the agitated citizens surrounded Thundercloud Technology's headquarters, someone threw a self-made explosive into the building.
The decades of Monster War had turned most of the people in Dragon City into veterans who had survived hundreds of battles. Even candles, fertilizer, and flour could be used to create simple explosives with shocking power. When the citizens' anger was attached to such explosives, the flames and chaos they caused could not be stopped.
Meanwhile, the source of the citizens' anger was that the secret interrogation records of certain Blood Alliance members from the first half of the night had been stolen and spread on a large scale.
