Chapter 562 [Masquerade] Alliance Leader
The story in Shakugan no Shana is actually very simple.
In addition to the background of the thousands of years of fighting between the fire fog and the apostles, there is only one main line, which is about the journey of the creation of the new world of the "Sacrificial Snake".
Thousands of years ago, when the Sacrificial Snake intended to create the world, it was sealed into the gap between the two worlds by the ancient fire fog at a great cost. Thousands of years later, the other party intended to return again and complete the feat.
After learning all this, the protagonist Yuji Sakai reached an agreement with the Sacrificial Snake and became the other party's agent. After a series of events and planning, he successfully completed the creation of the new world "Nothingness".
Unlike the creation of the Sacrificial Snake thousands of years ago when it chose to appear in the world and sacrifice 127 city-states and four plains, the Sacrificial Snake deeply reflected on itself (?) during its thousands of years of exile. This time, the creation chose to place the location in the gap between the two worlds, that is, His exile.
...In other words, the new world created this time will not have much impact on the present world.
In theory, this is a win-win solution, but as Lamy and Alastor said before, the hatred between Fire Mist and the Apostles has reached an irreconcilable level. Even if the Sacrifice Snake announces this "win-win" solution to the world, there will definitely be a lot of people who will not accept it and come to stop it.
So in order to deal with this situation, the Sacrifice Snake Yuji Sakai, the leader of the Masquerade, launched a massive war. When all those who hold opposing opinions died, no one could stop them.
——And in fact, this is indeed the case.
After all those who advocated war died or most of them died, everything became a foregone conclusion and could no longer be changed.
After a war, although the Fire Mist ended with a complete defeat, many apostles on the Masquerade side also died.
...One general's success is the result of the death of thousands of people! !
It has to be said that after turning evil, Yuuji Sakai actually has some heroic connotations.
So Mu Qingzhi never understood why the other party, since he was determined to do such a thing, didn't he explain everything to Shana and the others in advance? Given the relationship between the other party and Shana at that time, Shana would at least stand on his side, not to mention whether she would support him clearly.
As a result, this guy pretended to be a riddle man all the time, and directly arrested Shana and locked her up for a prisoner play...
Although the ending was satisfactory, it was hard to say what he and Shana would suffer in the new world based on what he had done before.
Of course, this is not to say that the other party did something wrong. After all, given the environment at that time, war was inevitable. He just triggered all this in advance... although the means were a bit cruel.
What Mu Qingzhi wanted to do was to change all this fundamentally.
——The position of the cute master of the masquerade was hers.
"Wuheyoujing...isn't it the Great Binding Chain?"
Xana obviously knew something about the sacrificial snake. She was stunned for a moment when she heard her sister's story.
"Hey, that name doesn't sound good. Wuheyoujing sounds better, so I changed it happily."
Reaching out to pick up the dry towel beside her and handing it over, Mu Qingzhi waved her hand.
"Also, not only the name has been changed, but also the location. The creation location of [Wuheyoujing] is not in the present world, but in the gap between the two worlds of the Red World and the present world. After the creation of [Wuheyoujing] is completed, it will not be so easy for the people of the Red World to come to the present world as easily as before. They will be blocked by [Wuheyoujing] in the middle, which is equivalent to a barrier."
〖This can't change anything.〗
At this time, Alastor spoke in a deep voice.
〖As a replica of the present world, there are still humans in the Wuheyou Realm. Those disciples who left the present world will still eat humans after going to the new world. The situation has not changed. It's just a change of place.〗
"It's very simple. Just add a [principle] that [disciples cannot eat humans] in the new world. This is not a big deal."
Spreading his hands in front of him, Mu Qingzhi looked innocent.
"In the new world, disciples don't need the power of existence to maintain their appearance. Under the restriction of this [principle], although there are still some bloodthirsty apostles, they will only be a small number after all. Although it can't reach 100% perfection, it is much better than the current situation, right?"
〖………〗
——Rarely, Alastor fell into silence.
What the other party said not only made sense, but the key is that the things the other party said seemed to be very feasible.
"Well, although what you said is indeed a win-win solution, for most of the Fire Mist, this kind of thing is unacceptable to them."
After coughing, Marcosias began to speak.
"I am sure that when your words spread, more than 80% of the Fire Mist will gather together and launch a crazy attack on your masquerade... Don't forget that the hatred between the Fire Mist and the Apostles has long been irreconcilable. '
"Yes, I admit this."
Very calmly, Mu Qingzhi nodded.
"In fact, the plan we made at the beginning was to directly trigger a large-scale war between the apostles and the Fire Mist on the grounds of His return. Starting with the three pillars, we will take the initiative to launch an attack to wipe out most of the outside world and eliminate the living forces of the Fire Mist. As long as those who oppose it die in the war, no one can oppose this plan. The Masquerade's dormancy for so many years is not in vain. Almost all the detailed locations of the outside world have been mastered by us. Once we carry out the plan, the Fire Mist will suffer heavy losses."
"You know, we can't agree to this kind of thing."
Frowning, Shana looked up at her.
"Hatred will not be eliminated in war, it will only breed greater hatred. You simply..."
"Don't forget, the people in the masquerade are all apostles. They don't care about the fire fog. The fire fog hates the apostles, but the apostles also hate the fire fog. Once they find an opportunity, they will try to eliminate all the fire fog in the outside dormitory. Do you think it's easy for me to find an opportunity to run out of the masquerade?"
Spreading his hands in front of him, Mu Qingzhi looked helpless.
"Don't think that I have great authority. His consciousness has not really returned yet. In the current masquerade, all matters are decided by the three pillars. I am just a mascot. Do you really think I have great power in it?"
〖Tell me, what do you need us to do for you? 〗
Before Shana could speak, Yalastrastra asked in a deep voice.
〖You came to us for more than just to tell us these things. 〗
"Of course not only."
Mu Qingzhi restrained the expression on his face, sat up straight, and looked serious.
"I came to you because I have something to ask of you. If this can be accomplished, many things will be much easier in the future."
〖What is it?〗
"It's very simple."
Raising a finger in front of him, Mu Qingzhi spoke seriously.
"I want you to help me become the host of the masquerade."
