Chapter 233 The Day Things Collapsed

When the day came when everything completely fell apart, Master Dream Forging remembered that it was in a tavern on Capitol Star.

"I think the conditions offered by the federal government are generous enough. They are very sincere. If we insist on establishing a republic, many more people will die. I think all this can be stopped." Candice spoke first.

She looked much more haggard these days, probably because she had been thinking about the future. In her eyes, once the Feller family was dead, their struggle would be over, as long as people could continue to live in peace.

"I won't agree until they give me the list," Caesar said coldly.

The federal government was willing to provide a list of the experimenters, but not a list of their relatives and friends, which made him unwilling to give in.

"Are you crazy? Those experimenters deserved to die, but are their relatives and friends guilty?" Candice really couldn't bear it anymore. Caesar now made her feel too unfamiliar.

"Then are my brothers and sisters guilty? Is my family guilty?" Caesar slammed the table and stood up, roaring, "Do we deserve all this?"

A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

Of course, Yudmerlin was not happy to see his sister being yelled at, so he immediately stood up and pointed at Caesar and said, "Why do you always act like a victim? Do you think we don't know what you've been doing lately?"

These days, Caesar has been forming cliques on Capitol Star, finding those who have been persecuted by the Ferrer family and getting them to follow him.

In fact, Caesar was not willing to accept the conditions offered by the federal government, but he no longer regarded the interstellar republic as his ideal. He wanted to establish an empire.

"Yes, I will start a war and build an empire!"

"I want the Euripides family to become the most noble group of people in the world from now on. No one can bully them! Whoever they want dead must die! Is that not possible?" Caesar was like an angry lion, unable to control his emotions at all.

"What a bullshit republic! What about the people living and working in peace and contentment? Do these people deserve it? They're being sucked dry by capitalism every day, yet they think they're sober! They don't need us to establish a republic to save them from their suffering. Their minds are worthy of their current life of near-enslavement. Isn't it the same for me to establish an empire and enslave them as for the Federation Consortium to enslave them? Who is nobler?"

He completely shattered the subtle tacit understanding among the five of them not to talk about the Republic.

"You're so arrogant! What do you mean by enslaving them is the same as the Federation enslaving the Consortium? Can't we join the Federal Congress to change this?" Candice retorted. "Starting a war at this critical juncture shows you don't even consider these ordinary people as human beings."

"You are the arrogant one, the eldest daughter of the Ferrer family." Caesar stared at Candice sinisterly and sneered.

At this point, Candice pounded the table with a shaking hand: "Say that again?"

"The eldest lady of the Ferrer family, your nature and your brother's nature are exactly the same as those of the Ferrer family. You look down on me, don't you? You are worthy of being a descendant of Ferrer with the same blood. You look down on me, don't you? In your eyes, I am just an experimental subject..." Caesar was halfway through his words when Yode couldn't help it and punched him.

He was not good at fighting, and the punch didn't hurt at all. Caesar immediately fought back, and of course Candice wanted to help her brother. In the end, the tavern fell into chaos. Galaxy, who had been silent all the time, stopped the chaos.

The five people who had calmed down could no longer look their former companions in the eye. Merlin and his sister left first, followed by Caesar, and finally Galaxy and Master Dream Forger remained sitting where they were.

"Galaxy suddenly asked me, what about you? What do you think? Are you still thinking about the Republic?"

"I shook my head and said, 'I just want a quiet place to do my research and build my mecha.' That's how it has been from the beginning."

"Yinhe said he knew, patted my shoulder, and said that if he had the chance, he would take me back to Earth. I just thought he was joking..."

"Later, I moved to a neutral planet to live alone. Galaxy still went to help Caesar. Together, the two of them overthrew half of the Federation. There were three mechas at the time. Caesar took the Blade, Galaxy took the Lumen, and Candice took the Sinking Blade."

"Because the three of them have always been reluctant to approach the Euripides family, and Caesar has always refused to tell them the truth, and Chen Dao likes Candice very much..."

"After overthrowing half of the Federation, Candice couldn't help but take action. The three of them started fighting frequently. Candice's fighting talent is truly the strongest. She can hold her own against Galaxy and Caesar."

"They started coming to the Neutral Planet to ask me for repairs. Actually, I suspect they were just faking it a lot. I could tell by the damage to their mechas... The friendship we once had is still there, but it can't be restored."

"Caesar successfully established his empire with the support of those nobles and Galaxy. Furthermore, Blade was determined to remain loyal to the Euripides family, which made his empire a success. The royal family would always produce S+ anyway, so Blade prioritized royal family members as their masters. Even if an S+ was produced by the common people of the empire, they would only serve as substitutes."

Xu Lingqu frowned and asked, "Is it possible that it already knows the truth?"

Master Forging Dreams shook his head. "It's unlikely. We kept it a secret, but he was the oldest in the lab at the time, little Uriphis. He's very sensible, and he might have noticed something."

"Candice and Yoder also successfully entered the Federation Congress. They really took action against many Federation consortiums. The people of the Federation really did live much better because of them. Candice even became a legendary Federation admiral because she single-handedly resisted Galaxy and Caesar."

"But then, in the fifth year of the Empire, Yinhe suddenly disappeared. I couldn't contact him. I asked Caesar, but he wouldn't say what happened. Of course, he didn't know where Yinhe was either, so he came to ask me."

"After Galaxy disappeared, no one could find him. Caesar left behind descendants who soon died. The Euripides family was ultimately cursed by the experiment, becoming a short-lived family... Meanwhile, in the Federation, Candice also died a few years later. She had suffered numerous serious injuries in her early years and didn't receive proper treatment. Later, she engaged in numerous high-intensity one-on-two battles..."

"After her death, Yoder became a completely different person and founded the Merlin family, which is exactly the same as the Ferrer family at that time."

"This is why the world is like this now. Under the rule of Yoder and Caesar, both the Empire and the Federation have imposed a news blockade on the history of the former Republic."

"This makes it easier for them to stay in power and prevent people from having to think too much, so they can be better controlled."

"As for why Yoder became the old monster he is now, I don't know."
