Chapter 920: Lyon's Plan (Part 2)
Transform the Dead Realm... Intimidate the mundane world... Intervene in the Twelve Kingdoms... Resolve the suffering of most people... Disclose information about the Dead Realm to increase infection values... Incubate more controllable positive Abnormal Objects... Increase the number of cleanup agents... Strengthen the Purge Bureau...
After pondering Lyon's grand plan, the Taurus Director and Cancer Director exchanged glances, each seeing an inexplicable brilliance in the other's eyes.
The proposal put forth by Aquarius seemed feasible! If he could actually accomplish it...
"If we can make this happen, not only can we alleviate the gradually weakening situation, but we might even have a chance to catch up with the previous generation of directors and commissioners, making the Purge Bureau great again!"
Perceiving their interest, Lyon immediately threw out the phrase "Make the Purge Bureau awesome again," leaving the two directors stunned. He then switched to his 'Performance Master' persona and began to passionately persuade them:
"Honorable Taurus and Cancer, the mundane world is vast, and our numbers are too few. The eighty-seven divisions have varying staff, ranging from hundreds to just a few dozen or even less. With only a few thousand people, it's impossible to manage the entire world.
I've reviewed the bureau's records, and the lack of personnel isn't a recent issue. For the past few hundred, or even thousands of years, we've been running around tirelessly, patching up holes everywhere.
But the more we lack manpower, the more dangerous it is during missions, resulting in consistently high casualty rates within the bureau. This has almost become a vicious cycle.
However, if we can accomplish what I'm proposing, the number of cleanup agents might increase tenfold, twentyfold, or even more! The situation in the mundane world will undoubtedly improve significantly!"
"You... Wait, let me think for a moment!"
Feeling overwhelmed by Lyon's grand vision, the Taurus Director coughed and took a deep breath to calm himself. He then asked rationally:
"But 'Malice' seems to be the source of harmful abilities. If all Abnormal Objects become 'positive' in the future, the overall combat strength of the Purge Bureau will undoubtedly decrease. Even if we can deal with the Slaughter King, there will surely be new Outer Deities entering from the Star Realm. By then..."
"By then, our manpower will have increased tenfold, and if the Abnormal Objects in the mundane world are unsuitable, we can just use others," Lyon replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Aren't there places like the Abyss and Heavenly Mountain? The Heavenly Realm, Source Altar, Four Shattered Realms, various Outer Deities... There are countless sources of Abnormal Objects. Why not just go out and capture them? We can go out, but they can't come in. We can capture as many Abnormal Objects as we want.
Especially the demons in the Abyss, with the current number of agents, we can just capture a few empty hells and provide a complete set of demon Abnormal Objects for every cleanup agent.
Once we have more agents, more people will be able to learn the Taurus Secret Art, forge more powerful Abnormal Objects, and then use them to capture even stronger demons. We can then forge even more formidable Abnormal Objects, cultivate more powerful agents, and eventually break through to the stars..."
"Wait, wait! Hold on!"
Even the Cancer Director, who hadn't voiced any doubts, felt overwhelmed by Lyon's increasingly outrageous future plans. Unconsciously, he waved his hands and took a couple of steps back.
The current Purge Bureau was already struggling, and their recent mission to the Dead Realm had turned into a disaster, nearly resulting in total annihilation. But after Lyon's analysis, the situation suddenly seemed promising, and they were even considering expansion beyond their realm?
This... this...
"We can't afford to wait!"
Lyon, fully aware that the larger and more established an organization, the harder it is to bring about change, seized the opportunity while he still had the ear of the two remaining Directors, who were on good terms with him. With a serious expression, he began to persuade them.
"Your Highness Taurus, Your Highness Cancer, if we take action now, it will take significant time to train qualified cleaners. And the time required for them to reach Level 2, Level 3, or even Level 1 is even longer."
The current state of the Bureau is no secret to you. More than half of the Directors at the 87th Bureau don't possess True Divine Rank combat power. Even Edward has become a Zodiac Bureau Director. I don't need to tell you how dire the situation is, do I?
Also, during the Five Palaces Selection, I interacted with the Bureau's new generation, and I found that there are very few cleaners with potential. After you two and the other older Directors retire, the new Directors who take over will need at least three to five decades to reach your level.
These are all crises! To be blunt, how much longer can you shield the new generation from the storm? I can wait for you, but our enemies won't!"
"..."
Oh my... Is this what the younger generation is like? Has Aquarius gone a bit overboard with their enthusiasm?
Feeling cornered by Lyon's words, the two Directors, unable to bear it any longer, glanced at each other once again, both recalling the previous board meeting.
During the last board meeting, when discussing whether to attack the Dead Realm, this young man had been rather aggressive. At the time, they thought he was just being bold and not intimidated, speaking his mind at his first board meeting, and they should have encouraged him.
But now, looking back, he wasn't just speaking his mind. He was already holding back during the last meeting. With Aquarius's temperament and attitude, he only suggested teaching the Dead Realm a lesson, not destroying it entirely. It was clear that he was already being as cautious as possible.
Wait! It seems like the Dead Realm has already been destroyed?!
No mistakes in their well-kept, complete...[unclear phrase]
"Lyon, you're right!"
The sudden proposal of 'M Qing Niu A' caught the Taurus Director off guard, and he had to admit Lyon's point. With a dismissive wave and a bitter smile, he pleaded:
"But this matter is too big. It's not just about adjusting the effectiveness range of the Phantom Jar, pressuring the Twelve Kingdoms repeatedly, but also changing at least thirty taboos. It's about overturning the Bureau's ways that have been in place for thousands of years.
Lyon, I'm not trying to refuse. Your suggestion is excellent, but you need to give us old folks some time. Let us think it over and see if there are any loopholes, okay?"
"Alright..."
Lyon looked at the two Directors who had retreated to the edge of Terminus Cliff, knowing that any further retreat would mean falling again. He sighed, accepting their request, and said with a hint of disappointment:
"Then take your time discussing here. I'll go back to the front with Senior Emma and try to create the Ghost Gate today."
"Ghost Gate?"
"The original Gate of the Departed."
