Chapter 926: The Despairing Future Seen by Sexes
Chapter 926: The Despairing Future Seen by Sexes
"You said that I'm the same as you, so I'm quite curious now, what exactly is the 'Divine Inspiration' that you saw?"
Night City, of course, had no idea what this so-called 'Divine Inspiration' was, but to extract information, he had no choice but to feign understanding.
However, if it were anyone else, their minds shaken by a tremendous impact, they might have been played around by Night City.
But Sexes was different; she was a strategic thinker by nature. Without confirming that the 'Divine Inspiration' she saw was the same as his, Night City wouldn't get any information from her.
Sexes claimed to be a monster, but physically, there were no abnormalities. The superpowers she possessed were innate, much like Silverfang and Hellblizzard.
Even when she abandoned her Dajingyan alias and used her original Sexes identity to join the Hero Association, no one doubted her.
The term 'monster' was just a label. Entities like Hungry Wolf and Sexes, almost indistinguishable from humans, were called monsters simply because they stood against humanity.
Similarly, within the S-Class heroes, Zombie Man and Boar God, no matter how one looked at them, were not normal humans. Yet, because they stood on humanity's side, they were also called heroes.
Hungry Wolf took on a human form due to his childhood experiences, and Vagrant Emperor became a monster after encountering the so-called "God."
Sexes' decision to establish the Monster Association also had its reasons.
Once, Sexes and Hellblizzard were even friends during their student days, and they respectively held the positions of President and Vice President of the "Superpower Enhancement Association."
One day, through her third eye, Sexes witnessed a future filled with despair, what she referred to as 'Divine Inspiration.'
After seeing such a future, Sexes' personality underwent a drastic change. Due to differing ideologies, she parted ways with Hellblizzard and secretly established the Monster Association.
The most powerful monster publicly known in the Monster Association was Monster King Great Snake, but few knew that Great Snake was merely a pawn in Sexes' plan to alter the future.
Regarding the future she saw, Sexes remained silent, as if fearing something.
However, from the few words she let slip during her emotional outburst, Night City could deduce that the future Sexes witnessed likely involved the world's destruction.
The Hero Association's prophet, Xi Xi Ba Wa Po Po, had also prophesied that the Earth would face destruction in the future.
At the time, everyone in the Hero Association believed that the Dark Matter Pirate Crew, led by Boros, would bring about this crisis.
But now, with Sexes' appearance, it was evident that the threat of Earth's destruction did not originate from Boros, a Dragon-Rank monster.
Xi Xi Ba Wa Po Po's prophecy likely mirrored what Sexes saw through her third eye.
Night City, connecting the dots between the factors leading to the birth of monsters and Sexes' establishment of the Monster Association, even dared to predict that the crisis facing Earth might stem from humanity itself.
Heroes protect humanity, but humans, like pests, continually poison the Earth's environment. Thus, at some point, humanity might face the retribution of destruction.
The "God" seen by Vaccine Man and Vagrant Emperor might be the Earth's consciousness itself. (Vaccine Man also claimed his birth was due to the Earth.)
The Earth's consciousness, sensing the impending danger, perhaps to protect itself or other life forms on Earth, bestowed Vaccine Man and Vagrant Emperor with their missions to reduce the human population.
And such an approach is actually no different from Sexes' purpose in establishing the Monster Association.
Combining the plot she knew and what Sexes had just revealed, Yecheng had a rough understanding of the so-called hopeless future and felt a sense of creeping dread.
As for the so-called "God," whether friend or foe, Yecheng couldn't tell for now, but it was clear that if Earth truly faced a crisis of destruction, she, who always wanted to lie low, couldn't possibly remain uninvolved.
"Although you're unwilling to elaborate on what you saw in 'Divine Inspiration,' I believe we both witnessed a future of destruction.
I now understand your purpose in establishing the Monster Association, but I can only say that solely relying on monsters' power to reduce the human population is futile.
Moreover, the only reason monsters are currently restrained is due to the suppression of human heroes. Once we lose the power to resist monsters, do you think they would be beneficial to this world?
Don't forget that most monsters are mutated humans or other species, and their malevolence often surpasses that of humans. The reason they aren't causing enough threat now is simply because their numbers aren't large enough yet!"
Yecheng's words stunned Sexes, who was currently holding a wine glass 1,500 meters underground.
Previously, she had only thought about using monsters' power to change the hopeless future but hadn't considered how to conclude it afterward.
Indeed, as Yecheng said, monsters' malevolence surpasses that of humans, as evident from the increasingly greedy Monster King Great Snake.
If she, burdened with a bad reputation, managed to use monsters' power to change the future she saw, but the world ultimately perished due to monsters, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain, even making her a traitor to humanity...

"So, do you have any other way to change that hopeless future?"
After hearing Yecheng's words, Sexes no longer doubted that Yecheng had also witnessed the so-called future, just like herself.
In response to Sexes' inquiry, Yecheng shook her head. "First of all, the idea of changing the future by destroying humanity is undoubtedly unacceptable.
Even the monster cells you created are an attempt to turn humans into monsters, thinking it's an alternative way to 'eliminate' humanity, and disasters won't occur?
Secondly, the future we saw, whether it's real or not, is entirely unknown.
If there truly is a God, does that automatically make Him just? Perhaps what we saw was merely what He wanted us to see?"
"You mean to say that everything I've done might just be a pawn in someone else's game!" Sexes' expression turned grim after hearing Yecheng's words.
"Why is that impossible? Take the Monster King Great Snake, for example. He considers himself the leader of the Monster Association, but in reality, he's just being used by you.
The other party is far beyond our imagination. Manipulating or using you probably wouldn't be too difficult. Before confirming their true identity, I won't stand against humanity.
Of course, I won't stop you from doing anything either. After all, there are indeed many scums among humans. Turning them into monsters and then killing them would be like sweeping away some of Earth's trash."
