Chapter 869 Roman Orthodoxy(2/4)
"Make humanity great again!"
…
Accompanied by the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami, the situation in the entire city of Rome quickly became out of control.
Although many police officers tried to calm down the frenzied crowd by spraying water, it obviously had the opposite effect.
Millions of people from all over the world directly broke through the isolation cordoned by the police and rushed into the streets to join this unprecedented triumphal ceremony. Together with the ordinary soldiers of the Expeditionary Force and the Astartes warriors, they marched towards Ka'ar.
Heading to Pithole Peak.
Those who were closer picked up eggs, vegetables and stones and threw them at the aliens in the cage.
The city government of Rome, Italy, which originally only wanted to ride on the popularity to increase its international reputation and revitalize the tourism industry, is now completely numb.
Politicians and bureaucrats, including the mayor, also went into hiding.
They were afraid that these people who had already lost their minds and been incited would drag themselves into the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus to sacrifice.
Of course, some of the people at the top of the People's Federation were shocked by this.
Although some of them had expected that Grant Ward would take this opportunity to make a "big deal", they never expected that it would be as big as this.
Especially the fierce public opinion around the world is simply putting them on the fire.
If it is not handled well, large-scale riots or even military mutinies may occur internally.
Because Grant Ward has already outlined a beautiful future that all people on earth yearn for in just a few sentences of speech.
Many times, attracting the support of the people at the bottom does not require gorgeous rhetoric, nor does it need to explain boring policy programs and knowledge in the fields of politics, diplomacy, etc. It only needs to be able to shout a resonant and catchy slogan.
For example, someone said "Make America great again."
The result is that he is obviously a billionaire and supports tax cuts for the rich, but he has inexplicably gained the fanatical support of a large number of low-level industrial workers and rural farmers.
The latter actually truly believed that a liar who was from a different class than himself and was full of lies could fight for his own interests.

Of course, another reason is that they have no other choice. They can only try to make a last ditch effort like a losing gambler.
"It seems that we have all underestimated Grant Ward's ambition. He is obviously not willing to just be the leader of Hydra, but wants to be the leader of the entire earth."
A representative of the Supreme Council of the People's Federation slowly expressed his judgment.
"He wants to be a second Caesar?"
Another representative's voice clearly revealed strong concern.
After all, with the establishment of the People's Federation, the relatively backward organizational structure of the country will inevitably gradually disappear, and will be replaced by the integration of me in you and you in me.
Located in this way, the earth can compete with those powerful alien civilizations.
If the concept of a country ceases to exist, then "human heroes" with huge appeal and influence like Grant Ward may come to the forefront and defeat the current leaders of various countries to become the first leader of all mankind.
who.
"I don't know. But we must find time to talk to him. After the victory of this expedition, he is already qualified to serve on the table, isn't he?"
The only female representative smoothed her hair hanging down from her ears. She seemed to be several years younger, giving people a radiant feeling.
You don't need to ask to know that she must have been nourished by Grant Ward during their private conversations, and there is a high probability that the two of them have reached some unknown deal.
"You're right.
At present, Hydra still firmly controls the largest number of battleships.
Combined with this victory, he is indeed qualified to play.
First we need to know what exactly he wants before we start bargaining.
Everything is for the survival and continuation of human civilization.
And I think given the current situation, there’s nothing wrong with being a little extreme.”
After that, the last representative stood up and walked out of the conference room without looking back, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
On the other side, Grant Ward had already climbed to the top of the Capitol, surrounded by more than a million people. Standing in front of the ruins of the temple that had long been beyond recognition, he imitated the triumphal generals of ancient Rome and raised an imitation bronze dagger in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow humans, please tell me now, how do you want me to deal with these alien captives?"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Throw them into the Colosseum! I want to see them kill each other!"
"Kill them!"
"Off with their heads!"
"No! Beheading will kill you too quickly. Let's hang him so he can taste more pain before dying."
"I think burning them to death is better. After all, this is Rome. We can take them to the Vatican. Fire type is a specialty of the Catholic Church."
I have to say that Italians are quite creative in this regard.
Especially the suggestion of throwing the prisoners into the Colosseum instantly received the approval and response of countless people.
After all, everyone has only seen slave wrestling scenes on TV, and the performances are often very fake and unreal at all.
Now that we have such a good opportunity, of course we must restore the traditions of ancient Rome.
As for the law…
Sorry, none of the terms in that thing involve aliens.
Therefore, no matter how these prisoners are disposed of, it will not violate any existing laws and regulations in theory.
In the end, Grant Ward satisfied the people's curiosity and casually killed two prisoners in front of the ruins of the temple according to ancient Roman tradition and sacrificed them. Then he took the remaining heads into the Colosseum and used magic to make them lose their minds.
Kill each other.
Whenever a prisoner dies, the audience at the scene will burst into enthusiastic cheers, as if they have returned to the "coveted" ancient Roman period overnight, and countless "Jingluo" are even moved to tears.
That kind of bloodthirsty and cruelty that cannot be described in words will vividly show the truest humanity after tearing off the disguise.
Of course, all this was seen by Zuo Si.
The evil released through emotions is constantly gathering towards him in an extremely abstract way, eventually forming an extremely powerful force.
It is neither divine power nor energy.
But this power is more terrifying than any divine power or energy.
In just a few minutes, Zuo Si's eyes became dark and deep, and his body seemed to be distorted by some invisible force, so that it transformed from a solid body into an ever-changing shadow.
"Drawing strength from pure evil? You are really becoming more and more terrifying."
The Supreme Mage Ancient One slowly walked out of the corner and looked at the terrifying demon who had defeated Dormammu in front of him with great interest.
"Good afternoon. Sorry, I was so focused that I didn't notice your arrival."
Zuo Si's body returned to its original state instantly, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face.
Gu Yi responded nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I just happened to come over and take a look. After all, you have made a lot of noise recently, and even many other dimensional demons have noticed the changes in the earth."
"Oh? Who is there?"
Zuo Si asked with great interest.
"There are many, and I have introduced them to you before.
However, considering what happened to Dormammu, they should not dare to act rashly.
To be honest, I can't believe it took you such a short time to transform humanity into what it is today.
It is estimated that before long, they will become the most terrifying and aggressive civilization in the universe."
When he said these words, there was obviously a hint of emotion in Gu Yi's tone.
Because the moment humans decided to go out, the burden on the shoulders of the Supreme Mage suddenly became much lighter.
After all, when humans successfully colonize other planets, the importance of the Earth will decrease significantly.
Even if one day we encounter an unbeatable enemy and the earth is occupied or even destroyed, human civilization can still continue elsewhere.
This is why Gu Yi never interfered with Zuo Si's actions from beginning to end.
Of course Zuo Si knew this, and explained with a smile: "It is better to be a bully who is feared than to be a weakling who is frightened every day.
You should know best that the competition between civilizations is very cruel.
Look at the civilizations that have died in the history of the earth. They are living examples.
So I just leave what I think is right and good to humans.
As for whether they want to use it and how they want to use it, that’s their own choice.”
"Okay, maybe you're right.
Anyway, it’s not me who has to face all this in the future, but the next Supreme Mage.
Mordo has begun to master the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto.
If nothing else happens, he should be coming to kill me soon.
To be continued...
