After hearing Ma En's question, Shadow's face immediately showed an expression of surprise. Although the expression between his eyebrows changed very naturally, Ma En still vaguely felt that this expression was specially prepared by him, and then Shadow said

His words also seemed to confirm his thoughts.

Shadow said with an expression that wanted Ma En to understand:

"Join the Federation? No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just said we just want to provide you with asylum.

"There is no hint hidden in this sentence. Even if we do what I said, of course you may have to do some small cooperation with us, but I guarantee that there is no contract or any conspiracy against you, and we will not ask you to do anything.

, you are not our member.

"We just want to make you look like a member of ours. This is also how we provide asylum. As long as they think you are now affiliated with our federation, they cannot assassinate you casually.

"I can swear to you that there is no conspiracy in this, and this proposal is not just for you. The Federation will find everyone who is in a similar situation to i and make this small suggestion.

"I know this sounds ridiculous. You will definitely wonder why we are doing this? Is there some cunning conspiracy against you hidden in this? But you know that we cannot do anything to you under the contract.

"And I can tell you the answer, our purpose is very simple.

"That is to ensure that the future of human domination of the world can continue."

Shadow said this very seriously, not like he was joking or sarcastic at all.

Ma En deliberately showed a suspicious look:

"This sounds completely inconsistent with what I saw. Do you want to ensure the continuation of humanity?"

Shadow showed a smile, took Ma En's words and said:

"No, not humanity itself, but ensuring the continuation of our rule.

"Do you know how many races there are in this world, and do you know how many of them can threaten our current status? Do you know what the things that dominated the species before us were called?

"We did not possess the world just after we were born. We won this dangerous and dangerous planet with great difficulty. In today's world, there are countless races that are eyeing our status. It is not an easy matter to maintain our current situation.

"So this is why we want to provide you with shelter. We may be enemies here, but when it comes to dangerous creatures that may threaten our rule, we will always be on the same side.

"And now there is no longer any conflict between you and us, which means that for the Federation, you are no longer a member of the Salvation Alliance. Now you are just a human being - a citizen of the Federation."

There should be a lot of truth in Shadow's words, and this motive sounds true. Such an approach is indeed profitable for the Federation, and it also helps maintain their rule. However, Ma En has never moved the Federation to

As an evil demon king, the fact that the Federation can rule the world already means something.

However, he still didn't feel that Shadow's real purpose was what he was saying now. What was mentioned in this paragraph might be true, but it was probably just one of Shadow's reasons for saying that, and it was probably not the most important one.

Telling the truth but not telling the whole story is a good way to lie.

So he thought for a while and said:

"Really? Why do you sound to me like you are trying to boil a frog in warm water? If I really accept your asylum, what will the other members of the Salvation Alliance think of me? Will they regard me as a traitor? I

Why do I always feel...

"You want to kill me with a soft knife?"

Ma En didn't raise this question to get Shadow to answer, and he didn't feel that he had seen through the other party's purpose. If he had guessed Shadow so easily, he wouldn't have said this, but he still asked it.

The focus is not on the content of the question, but on the question itself and the flaws it may lead to.

Shadow said calmly:

"From your point of view, maybe we are sinful, but we are in the same camp as you on this matter. Of course, doing this is indeed profitable for us. We are not Shenxiao, but this

The main beneficiary of this incident is humanity as a whole, not any specific person with abilities.

"But is there any benefit to the Federation from continuing to plot against you now? You have also seen the contents of the contract. We cannot do anything to you unless you violate the contract first, and we will not do anything to you.

"Although we are not friends, we are no longer enemies. The Federation is not crazy. Although it may be difficult for you to accept it, we are the greatest guardians of mankind. Otherwise, why do you think we, the V-level ability users, would join the Federation?

"We stand higher than you, so we can naturally see further.

"Do you think you are nothing in the face of the continuation of such human rule? Do we really care about you, a little follower of the sky? Right now, even the possibility of you being promoted to level V is negligible."

Ma En nodded, but still did not back down:

"I believe what you said, but my experience tells me that I can't believe you. Shen Xiao has done this before, and we all know what she got as a result."

Shadow shook his head:

"It's Shenxiao again, her existence has blinded your eyes. In fact, I know that this is the reason why you are still hesitant. It seems that when compared with her, we have become the villains in some fairy tale.

"But do you know? In fact, the Federation can kill the young Shenxiao, or put heavy shackles on her when she has not finished growing up, and turn her into a less powerful but powerful person at the expense of her final limit.

More controllable weapons?

"But we didn't do that even though it would have been safer for us because it was a necessary risk.

"If our purpose is to maintain the dominance of a few people, we will naturally do that. If we are as selfless and evil as you imagine, we will really do this, but we are not. There has only been one since the birth of the Federation.

Purpose.

"Guarantee that the empire of mankind will last forever."

His eyes became a little deeper:

"And do you really think that we don't want to be in the same camp as Shenxiao? Do you think you really understand that person who is like a god? Do you know how reassuring it is for those of us with level V abilities to fight alongside her?

?

"Can you understand the fear of those of us with level V abilities? Do you think we don't want to save humanity?

"But we still have to imprison her because she is too arrogant and arrogant. Do you know that she has tried to help many races other than humans, and doing so will only waste her precious divine power. As she said, the world

The end is coming.

"You may think that we are suicidal by teaming up with other races to deal with Shenxiao, but let me tell you, they were actually the ones digging their own graves at that time. The Federation knows Shenxiao better than they do, so it can use this to obtain their

trust.

"Because they won't believe that what Shenxiao wants is to save the world.

"I mean all sinless intelligent creatures.

"But the cost is the interests of us humans, and we may not even be able to save our compatriots. She is the traitor among us, and you'd better not really regard her as a living saint. In my eyes, she is just addicted to acting.

Just mortals of gods."

The living room fell into a brief silence.

Shadow's words are very convincing. Under his description, some of the Federation's actions seem to be excusable. Under the exaggeration of strong racial emotions, it seems that the ideals mentioned by the Federation have become particularly noble.

But it is not enough to make Ma En forget what they did in reality, their evil deeds to civilians, their abuse of power, and the fact that they can massacre innocent people with abilities like Ma En for their own purposes. In order to fight against all

God can "abandon" the entire Confederacy.

Yes, Shadow seemed to have his own reason, but the cold reality made his words sound particularly ironic to Ma En, because although he kept saying that the purpose of the Federation was for mankind, they were the ones who did evil to their compatriots.

square.

And Shenxiao, who truly defended the interests of mankind, became a so-called traitor in their mouths.

If you think about it carefully, what Shadow said seems to be blaming Shenxiao for not doing a good enough job, but in fact, if you really look into it, the current rulers of the Federation have not restrained themselves as they asked Shenxiao to do.

They could have given up their own interests to benefit human society, but it is obvious that they did not do so.

They are asking Shen Xiao to become a saint for mankind, and at the same time they are restraining themselves with the lowest bottom line. It seems that as long as they can barely guarantee that mankind can continue to rule the world, they can commit all kinds of evil deeds unscrupulously on this basis.

Moreover, it is difficult for Marn to believe that their motivation for doing this is for mankind, because maintaining the rule of mankind has extremely huge benefits for the politicians of these federations. In this case, the truth is often just out of selfishness.

So Ma En showed a hesitant expression and then said:

"These words sound reasonable."

It's enough to get here. If what Shadow said is true, then accepting federal asylum is actually his best choice. Therefore, he plans to verbally agree to it. After leaving here, he will start to seek verification. At this time, he wants to

It is not difficult for him to figure this out now.

As for such potential disadvantages, Ma En actually does not care as much as he claims. What other people think of him is completely unimportant. Moreover, if any Salvation Alliance member begins to doubt other motives and positions, he can always show it to the other Salvation Alliance member.

Secret Alliance.

This is enough to dispel any doubts. Those members of the Salvation Alliance who he needs to trust can be persuaded by this. The opinions of other non-particularly important ability users are meaningless, and in fact, most members of the Salvation Alliance probably won't think anything of it.

Most of them are very simple and kind-hearted, so they are more likely to think that Marx did this for some noble purpose.

And agreeing to this matter is indeed not harmful to him no matter how he looks at it, and in fact Ma En also has his own thoughts about Shenxiao.

But unlike Shadow and the Federation, Ma En still trusts Shenxiao quite a bit.

If now he had to choose between Shenxiao or the Federation camp, and there was no chance to regret or provide other information, then Ma En would firmly choose Shenxiao without even thinking about it.

But he was still a little worried about Shenxiao.

He knew very well that this feeling was irrational.

If he is really worried about Shenxiao's potential danger, then he should worry about every good person he meets. It is completely unreasonable to express doubts before there is evidence, but it is still difficult for Ma En to control himself not to think about Shenxiao.

The possibility of losing control.

Because she is too strong.

Cooperation with the Federation is very helpful for him to understand Shenxiao. Moreover, although the Federation itself does not seem that dangerous, you must know that they defeated the seemingly invincible Shenxiao, so if he is based on this world, the Federation and Shenxiao

They are all characters that he can't get around.
