Madam Gao's greatest regret came from her lack of familiarity with Lawless Magic Blade. Whether it was to find someone to replace her as the leader of the Society, or to endure under the circumstances, Madam Gao gave up on the fight for control of Lawless and handed it over to Alexandra. As a result, she did not have the opportunity to familiarize herself with Lawless's power.
Alexandra was like a lioness, wary of anyone who tried to steal her power.
Her control over Lawless, which in turn affected Black Sky, was the key to her control over the other four fingers. She would not allow anyone else to touch her. Since Madam Gao chose to endure, she naturally lost the opportunity to familiarize herself with Lawless.
Only when Alexandra let go of Lawless and let her complete the mission did she secretly confirm that the Might of the Righteous Alliance spell scroll she obtained during the Republic of China era could affect Lawless to a certain extent. She did not have the opportunity to dig deeper into Lawless's power. It could be said that even though she had recast Lawless and obtained the initial recognition of Lawless as a Weapon Master.
However, her understanding of the power of the Magic Blade in her hand was not as good as that green-haired kid who relied on his endless grief and anger to summon the Divine Weapon in his hand.
Madam Gao calmed herself down and used her aura to infuse the demonic blade in her hand. As she exchanged auras, the zhenqi in the demonic blade sprouted like a seed, growing and comprehending the demonic blade's terrifying power.
She stalled for time so that she could familiarize herself with the Magic Blade in her hand.
Fortunately, Chen Ang was very cooperative and kept exposing her various schemes.
Madam Gao secretly sneered, "The contents of a plan that has already been completed are meaningless. No matter how much I say, these are all things that happened in the past. What use are they to the present? " That was why she cooperated with him and told him about how she had used Harold to probe Rand after she discovered that he possessed the inheritance from Kunlun. In the end, she plotted against him.
This secret even gave her a huge advantage when she plotted against Alexandra today. It was also the foundation of her plan to take over Lawless. This plot was formed from her hundreds of years of studying Alexandra's personality and behavior. It was rooted in the secrets that she learned when she plotted against Rand and formed the recast plan for Lawless. In the end, she found the last piece of the puzzle in China — Daniel.
As for Daniel's identity as the owner of a Divine Armament, it was an unexpected surprise.
Madam Gao knew very well that as a schemer, it was pointless to haggle over every ounce of intricate planning. The reason why a conspiracy was a conspiracy was because the power of the person executing it was small and weak. It was difficult for them to influence the bigger picture, and there was no need to control every single condition of the execution of the conspiracy. Trying to control every single detail of the plan in their hands, as some schemers did, was unbelievably foolish in her eyes.
With such power, why didn't he use overt schemes to suppress others?
The true charm of conspiracies lay in the deep excavation of every bit of one's power, extending one's tentacles into every corner, constantly grasping secret information, and then using the power of the situation to make use of the constant changes of the situation, with the advantage of information, through continuous planning, one could obtain the relative information advantage of a specific time and place.
Covering the information that the opponent grasped, controlling and influencing the opponent, and finally, at the critical moment, using one's own information advantage to complete a fatal blow.
Just like this time, Madam Gao didn't have any advantage in terms of power. No matter if it was Harold who controlled the Evil God's spawn, or Alexandra who controlled Tyrannical, she wasn't a match for either of them. Daniel wasn't under her control either. In the beginning, Madam Gao didn't have any advantage, but she made full use of the information that she grasped — Daniel's background, Harold's fear, the Evil God's prophecy, Tyrannical's secret …
In the end, the one who took advantage of the situation and became the final victor of this series of changes.
This was the essence of conspiracies — conspiracies were a type of information warfare. To execute a conspiracy, one had to have the vision and determination of a strategist, grasp the wisdom of the game, and ignore the momentary gains and losses of a city or a place. Furthermore, one had to be good at grasping opportunities and also learn to give up. A conspiracy that hadn't been activated would never fail.
The only time a conspiracy would truly have a flaw was when it was approached by someone. Thus, if a plan had to be completed, then the conspiracy would already have failed halfway. This was because a conspiracy that couldn't withstand any variables was a conspiracy that was close to failure. A conspiracy is at its most powerful when it can be activated, but it can also be unactivated.
This was the wisdom that Madam Gao had painstakingly comprehended — Schrodinger's Conspiracy.
In this scheme, Harold's conspiracy was the most clumsy. This was because his plan couldn't withstand any variables, and it couldn't withstand failure. The moment he summoned the Evil God's spawn, he had forced himself into a dead end — if he couldn't obtain Tyrannical, he would definitely lose … He was extremely foolish.
As for Alexandra, she was secretly forced into a dilemma by Madam Gao. Harold's conspiracy became Alexandra's, and Alexandra couldn't bear the loss of Tyrannical. Her dispute with Harold was secretly pushed by Madam Gao into a zero-sum game. Alexandra didn't have any conspiracy to speak of. She was a complete sacrifice in Harold and Madam Gao's scheme. The key reason why she lost was because she was passive.
Alexandra didn't have the initiative. She couldn't afford to lose.
Madam Gao was the only one who hid herself well from the start. She was prepared to succeed and fail without any worries. She planned to scheme against the two of them. She could withstand any variables. In reality, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s involvement, Chen Ang's summoning of Byakee, and Daniel's Seed Burst were all variables outside of the conspiracy. However, these had affected Harold and Alexandra, but not Madam Gao at all.
There was only one key point to her conspiracy — she wanted to send Tyrannical into the hands of either Harold or Daniel to deal the fatal blow.
Whether Daniel killed Harold or Harold killed Daniel, the blood sacrifice would be completed.
She didn't even trust the Evil God's prophecy.
Only if she failed at this crucial point would her conspiracy fail. Therefore, the only reason why Madam Gao's conspiracy failed was that Harold and Daniel had reconciled, and Daniel had forgiven Harold. Therefore, she interfered first and added fuel to the fire, causing Daniel to make up his mind to kill Harold. This was why she schemed against Daniel and made him fight to the death with Harold.
This was not difficult. The information that Madam Gao had was enough to make the two of them fall out ten thousand times. She still hadn't provided the big information!
Between the two of them, it was either one of them who died or the other lived.
The second key point was to send Tyrannical into the final battle between the two of them. This required Madam Gao to personally make a move. This was also the moment when the conspiracy was at its weakest. Madam Gao relied on her hundreds of years of careful observation and her understanding of Alexandra. She was a poisonous snake that had been observing for hundreds of years. When she made her move, there was no reason for her to fail.
Compared to Harold, who had countless flaws, crucial points, and personally made countless moves, Madam Gao only needed to complete these two things to win.
Interlocking conspiracies were only the complacency of fools. A truly wise person would always push the boat with the current, and the moment they made their move, they had to ensure victory.
This layer upon layer of gambling required constantly finding and grasping opportunities, creating opportunities, analyzing variables, and using variables to continuously integrate the changes in the outside world into the conspiracy. Then, with the smallest additional movements, the plan would be completed. Conspiracies also followed the principle of Occam's Razor … unless absolutely necessary, do not add any additional steps.
The more movements, the more traces and flaws there would be.
A true perfect crime was not an intricate and intricate plan. Instead, it was a precise attack that grasped the right opportunity, leaving no traces.
But why did Madam Gao want to control Daniel? This completely violated any of the taboos in her rules of conspiracies. She could not handle variables and countless flaws. Furthermore, personally making a move was not going with the flow at all — because this was not a conspiracy! Madam Gao did not want to control Daniel.
She was just giving it a try. This was a decision … not a plan!
When she obtained Tyrannical, she discovered that this was no longer a choice that she could not afford to make … Daniel could not possibly kill her … Madam Gao felt Tyrannical in her hands fuse with her own true energy. She felt her thoughts break through the shackles of common sense. Apart from reason and instinct, all forgotten memories, perceptions, and repressed experiences, as well as dreams and fantasies that transcended human perception, were constantly being understood.
This was a world outside of the human world of knowledge. It was the world of all the new and old gods.
She 'understood' ghosts and gods …
Silently, the demonic beast Black Space was already completely under her control. This shapeless beast was no longer an incomprehensible existence to her. Instead, it was like an ordinary beast, and she easily tied the reins to it.
Her way of existence had changed. She was no longer a physical body, but a kind of abnormality. Even if her physical body died, she would still be able to gather information about her — the rumors that were passed down by her subordinates, the memories of those who had seen and heard of her, and the stories that belonged to her for hundreds of years. These information would be reborn from these memes and become part of her genes.
It could be said that she was a memetic creature.
She could manipulate information and influence people's minds. She could infiltrate people's hearts and use consciousness to change the physical world that life perceives. She was a ghost, and she could exist in the human brain. Furthermore, she was a god!
This was the insignificant power of Tyrannical.
The moment she was acknowledged by Tyrannical, Madam Gao had an epiphany. She finally understood the vastness of the universe and the limitlessness of time and space … What did humans count for? Daniel, Alexandra, Harold, Luke Cage … What did Chen Ang count for? They were just ants, dust!
She finally detached herself from this game of chess and jumped out of the computer. A mere Daniel could not become the master of the God Armament, he was just a chess piece! There was no need for any schemes against a chess piece. This choice was just a game of chess. So what if she succeeded? So what if she lost?
When she knew that she could not control the Sirius Blade and Tyrannical at the same time, Daniel became meaningless to her.
