Chapter 759: The Gold Standard of a 100% Success Rate
The Great Ravine, the Great Plain, and the Great Cliff?
After hearing the names of the Three Earthline Descendants, Lyon paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Do the Three Sea Tribes and the Three Feather Tribes have similar names as well?"
"Yes," the Aquarius Director nodded.
"The names of the Ten Great Courtyard Descendants are all single characters, similar to the 'Ravine,' 'Plain,' and 'Cliff' of the Three Earthline Descendants. The Three Sea Tribes are named 'Vortex,' 'Tide,' and 'Roar,' while the Three Feather Tribes are named 'Yin,' 'Qing,' and 'Tempest.' They also possess the ability to manipulate the ocean and the sky."
However, compared to the Three Earthline Descendants, the Three Sea Tribes live in the sea, and the Three Feather Tribes in the sky, so they don't often appear on land. As a result, their conflicts with humanity and our Purification Bureau are not as intense as those with the Three Earthline Descendants.
As for the Three Earthline Descendants, they were born on the earth, so while they view the earth as their parent, they also believe that all land, even those that were originally uninhabitable but later developed by humans, should belong to them.
Additionally, they oppose any actions that affect the earth, even if it's not violent destruction but rather gentle modifications. They refuse to coexist with humans."
"..."
Damn, even the land that others have developed should be theirs? And they don't allow anyone to touch it? If that's the case, my ancestors weren't entirely in the wrong.
...
Lyon furrowed his brows, trying to understand the reason behind the Three Earthline Descendants' hostility towards humans.
At its core, it was still a matter of living space. Humans, without wings or gills, had the greatest range of activities on the earth, perfectly overlapping with the 'territory' of the Three Earthline Descendants. This disrupted their original way of life.
Moreover, for humans to survive and reproduce, they would inevitably need to undertake construction projects like mining mountains, digging rivers, and building dams. In the eyes of the Three Earthline Descendants, these would all be considered destruction of the earth, making it impossible for them to accept coexistence with humans.
"Director Barto," Lyon called out, intending to gain an advantage over his opponents by understanding them first. "Do the Three Earthline Descendants have any obvious weaknesses?"
"If we're talking about weaknesses, the greatest one for the Three Earthline Descendants is their inability to stay away from the earth for long periods."
Even without Lyon's question, Director Barto was about to explain this. After recalling it carefully, the blue-haired elder spoke, "Just like the relationship between fish and water, while the Three Earthline Descendants are loved by the earth, once they are separated from it, their power and even their lives will rapidly weaken.
In the past, the predecessors of the Purification Bureau used the numbered 015 Hanging Puppet to hang all the Earthline Descendants except for the Three Descendants. This forced them to cease hostilities.
So, if you have an anomaly similar to the Hanging Puppet that can sever their connection to the earth, it will be much easier to deal with them."
Understanding this, Lyon nodded slightly, noting down this crucial information. As he looked at the Aquarius Director, who was well-versed in various documents and secrets, he continued, "What else? What do the Three Earthline Descendants value the most?"
"Of course, it's the earth."
"I mean, aside from the earth?" Lyon asked, winking subtly.
"For example, ordinary tribesmen? The future of the tribe? Specific living conditions? In short, those things that are of high importance to them, so important that they can't easily abandon them."
"..."
Hearing this, Director Barto couldn't help but pause, then glanced at Lyon.
And upon noticing the other's astonished gaze, Lyon responded with a sinister smile, then took the initiative to explain, "You see, the worst-case scenario we might face is simultaneously confronting the Carnage King Society and the leaders of the three Earth Tribes, which amounts to three Zodiac Bureau Chiefs plus two True Gods.
Even if there are conflicts among them, on paper, we are undoubtedly at a disadvantage. So, holding out in a direct confrontation while at a disadvantage is definitely not the best option."
"So, what you're saying is..."
"My idea is, let them fight their battles, and we can fight ours."
In the dim light of the mantle rift, Lyon's face was alternately illuminated and darkened, his dark eyes shimmering with a sinister gleam.
"If we really can't defeat the three Earth Tribes, instead of stubbornly defending here, we might as well turn around and enter the Marrow Realm. We can directly target the ordinary tribesmen of the three Earth Tribes.
According to your previous description of the Marrow Realm, if you can block the entrance for two hours, I'm confident that with a million nightmares, we can devour more than half of the Marrow Realm. If we're lucky, we might not leave a single tribesman alive!"
"..."
The Aquarius Bureau Chief was rendered speechless by Lyon's unconventional idea, his eyes widening involuntarily. His lips moved twice, but it took a good while before he could speak.
"This... isn't this a bit too much?"
After holding back for over a minute, the Aquarius Bureau Chief finally spoke with a troubled expression, "Although the relationship between the Ten Descendants of the Great Courtyard became less close after the loss of the Ten Descendants' Law Book, they still share a common origin, so there's still some camaraderie.
If we really go through with this, the Sea Tribe and the Feather Tribe will definitely not remain uninvolved. It's like provoking nine Zodiac Bureau Chief-level opponents at once. And with the current shortage of personnel in the Bureau, maybe you should... maybe you should calm down first."
"Hehe, I'm very calm, don't worry."
After noticing the Aquarius Bureau Chief's strained expression, Lyon couldn't help but offer a reassuring smile, then explained, "I'm just making a contingency plan. In case the worst-case scenario happens, and we have no response, it doesn't mean we have to go through with it."
"..."
Not necessarily going through with it... The implication of 'turning it around' is that if this situation truly arises, you'll definitely charge into the Marrow Realm and... feast to your heart's content, right? After calming his excitement, the Aquarius Bureau Chief followed Lyon's train of thought and realized that besides the potential for a major war, the success rate of Lyon's so-called worst-case scenario plan seemed unusually high.
After all, the three Earth Tribes are locked within the Marrow Realm, so naturally, their minds are focused on breaking out. It's almost impossible for them to anticipate someone entering, and they'll undoubtedly be caught off guard.
At that time, as long as Lyon blocks the entrance, with his ability to create an infinite number of nightmares, facing a Marrow Realm without a guardian of equal strength, it's like a dog entering a toilet. It's estimated that with just one wash of the Nightmare River, he can harvest the souls of all living beings within, leaving the place spotless.
As for the leaders of the three Earth Tribes stuck outside... at that time, with their entire tribe inside Lyon, their lives are in his hands. If they still don't back down, they might face immediate annihilation!
Hiss... I now understand why this kid's mission success rate is always 100%...
