In a certain Star Field of the explored universe, on the colonial planet of a certain Star System civilization.
In a rented temporary stronghold, the upper echelons of the Silver Revolutionary Army gathered. Most of them had gloomy expressions.
"Although the competition in the Flickering World has caused the situation of the universe to change, our efficiency in promoting our program is far from what we expected. It can even be said that our progress has stagnated."
The current leader of the Silver Revolutionary Army, Edmund, frowned.
Originally, the Silver Revolutionary Army had predicted the conflict in the Flickering World and wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen their army. However, although the conflict had broken out, spreading their ideology was not as easy as they thought.
A bespectacled man pushed his glasses and said, "According to the research, the popularity of the three Universal Civilizations in the entire universe is 1174.1% higher than the prediction of the mathematical model for the same period … In other words, the three Universal Civilizations are more popular than predicted during this period. The turmoil in the Flickering World should have allowed the galactic residents to see the three Universal Civilizations' domineering way of maintaining their dominance, but it did not significantly worsen the image of the three Universal Civilizations as predicted."
"How did that happen?"
"According to calculations, the source of the deviation in reality is the Intelligent Plague incident that happened not long ago. This disaster caused countless galactic residents to feel fear, and the three Universal Civilizations' response was very timely. It only took them half a year to resolve this extremely threatening universal crisis, allowing the galactic residents to see the execution of the three Universal Civilizations' authority. Thus, the people's hearts were aligned.
"Black Star played an important role in this. It can be said that if not for Black Star's contribution and the Mecha Empire's ambition attracting hatred, the three Universal Civilizations would have definitely lost a lot of people's support in the conflict in the Flickering World. Now, their foundation is very stable."
Hearing this, the upper echelons of the Silver Revolutionary Army present could not help but have bitter expressions.
The conflict in the Flickering World was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development, but now, it seemed that this opportunity could no longer reach their expectations. The effect was at least ninety percent lower than what they had expected.
Without this opportunity, everyone suddenly felt that their future was bleak. Many of them cursed their bad luck and blamed the Intelligent Plague for ruining their plans, causing them to lose the right time and place.
What they did not know was that the Intelligent Plague was an important event for their rise in their previous life, but now, due to the butterfly effect created by Black Star, it became a huge obstacle to their development.
Edmund turned to look at the dignified lady leaning on the sofa not far away.
"Mentor, what do you think?"
Everyone looked over anxiously. Although they were all higher-ups, they all knew that Rossellin was their spiritual pillar.
Rossellin swirled her wine glass and glanced at everyone with a faint smile. She said nonchalantly, "Since the development is blocked, then let's take it slow. A person's heart is like smoke, and it changes unpredictably. The support now can turn into hostility in the future. Be patient."
"This …" Someone said hesitantly, "You don't have a way to solve this problem?"
Rossellin covered her mouth and laughed.
"Haha, do you think that I am omnipotent? The general trend is irresistible. I can only go with the flow and continue to hibernate. What can I change by myself?"
With that, Rossellin stood up and walked in front of everyone with a faint smile.
"Anyway, it's hard to develop now, so I plan to find some time to do something else. Black Star sent me a message not long ago, saying that he needs me to do something for him."
Everyone was shocked.
"You're still in contact with Black Star?" Edmund was surprised.
"Why not?" Rossellin shrugged nonchalantly. "After all, I was an officer under him for a while, and he didn't stop me from leaving. I owe him a favor."
Edmund's expression became serious, and he said with a deep voice, "What we're doing now is going against the three Universal Civilizations. Who is Black Star? He's an important ally of the three Universal Civilizations. How dare you keep in contact with him? "
"To be exact, Black Star contacted me one-sidedly." Rossellin did not care. "Plus, he already knew what we were going to do. He probably thinks we're a joke."
Edmund's expression was serious. He paced around the room twice and asked hesitantly, "What does Black Star want you to do?"
"He wants me to go to the Modo Civilization and use my ability to intensify social conflicts." Rossellin clicked her tongue. "He really trusts my ability …"
One of the upper echelons of the Silver Revolutionary Army was shocked. "It can't be. Not only did Black Star not expose our actions, he even ordered you to incite social conflicts in an advanced civilization? Isn't he a great man who cares about the civilians?"
Rossellin smiled playfully. "How can a man who built such a huge foundation in decades be as kind as the news says? It's just that he knows how to maintain his image and leave the dirty work to others. Now, it's my turn to do the work …"
Then, without waiting for anyone to answer, she pushed the door open and left the room.
Black Star's request to her was to incite internal conflicts in the Modo Civilization as much as possible, and she was free to do the rest. Rossellin already had a vague idea of what to do. In her opinion, the Modo Civilization was a federation of three main races, so it might be very suitable to implant the idea of division.
Speaking of which, she originally planned to change the fate of the three Universal Civilizations and see the Supercluster Civilization as a potential supporter. She did not expect to turn around and change the fate of a Supercluster Civilization.
Rossellin did not mind this. Unlike most of the upper echelons of the Silver Revolution, she did not have the belief that she had to achieve great things. To her, dealing with the three Universal Civilizations or dealing with the Supercluster Civilization was just a challenge in her eyes. A sociopath like her who only wanted to see the world in chaos did not care about adding another opponent.
…
In an asteroid belt somewhere in the explored universe, the secret base of the Assassin's Society.
Ding ding dang dang!
Hundreds of assassin apprentices in training uniforms were practicing in the open-air training ground. Only the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
On the stands of the training ground, a few mentors stood with their arms crossed, supervising the training of the apprentices. Lothaire stood at the front with an indifferent gaze.
It had been about twenty years since Han Xiao ordered him to secretly form the Assassin's Society. Over the years, he had left a terrifying record in the black market and secretly recruited many killers and assassins. He was also constantly training new people. Now, the organization had already reached a certain scale.
Beep beep.
At this time, his communicator suddenly rang.
Lothaire glanced at it, turned around, and left.
"Stop training. Gather everyone, prepare the spaceship, and get ready to depart."
The officers put down their hands with curious expressions.
"Where are we going?"
"Mission, to Modo."
Lothaire's words were concise, and he disappeared into the tunnel.
He was not interested in power at all. He always remembered that the organization he established was a sharp blade hidden in the dark by Black Star, stabbing toward the target that Black Star pointed at.
…
Primeval Star River, in a secret military base in the Modo Civilization.
Ta ta ta!
Heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, slowly approaching.
With a 'kacha' sound, the door opened with a loud bang. Dazzling light shone in, piercing through the pitch-black darkness.
A group of soldiers stood at the door, and only their silhouettes could be seen against the light. The leading officer spoke with an emotionless voice.
"Soul Swap Twins, we have a mission."
As soon as he said that, there was no response, only dead silence.
However, the silence did not last long. A rustling sound came from a corner where the light could not reach, and a humanoid figure shrouded in shadow and fog walked out of the darkness. On his shoulder was a figure the size of a baby, also shrouded in shadow.
Only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen on the two of them. It was impossible to tell what species they were. Clearly, they had undergone some kind of mutation, and only their size could tell the difference.
These two were the Soul Swap Twins. The one with a normal size was the older one, and the one with a baby-sized body was the younger one.
"Did Modo allow us to go out again?" the younger brother on his shoulder asked. His voice was as hoarse as that of a dying old man.
Seeing the two of them, the officer said with a deep voice, "Old rules, come on board with us immediately. You can only use the Soul Swapper when we arrive at the mission location."
"Humph, who are we going to deal with this time?" the taller one said with a sharp voice, filled with resentment.
"Black Star!"
Hearing this name, the twins looked at each other, and an inexplicable fluctuation flashed across their eyes.
There was no nervousness in their eyes. Instead, there was a hint of excitement and greed, as if they had suddenly discovered a treasure.
This time, the officer took out a magic bead and said, "The target this time has a prophecy ability. This magic bead is engraved with a top-tier aura-concealing magic circuit. Wear it on your body, and it can effectively interfere with and mislead the prophecy ability. The other party will not be able to accurately predict the details related to the two of you."
After giving out the magic bead, the soldiers immediately walked forward and brought the Soul Swap Twins out of the room. Every soldier's face was tense, and they subconsciously quickened their pace. It was obvious that they wanted to bring the Soul Swap Twins onto the spaceship as soon as possible.
Before coming into contact with that Space Wonder called the Soul Swapper, the Soul Swap Twins were also quite dangerous. They were locked up in prison most of the time.
Although the Soul Swap Twins' Grade was not high, other people would have more and more hallucinations if they came into contact with them for a long time.
Perhaps because of this mutation, the twins were the only ones qualified to use the Soul Swapper. Furthermore, both of them had to be present at the same time to activate this special Space Wonder type Universal Treasure.
…
At the same time, on Floating Dragon Island in the Shattered Star Ring, Aesop suddenly raised his head and looked out of the window with shock.
The next moment, Aesop closed his eyes and activated his ability. His thoughts seemed to have passed through many dimensions and locked onto the territory of the Modo Civilization.
"The alarm came from the Modo Civilization. What did they do? Hmm, they seem to have used a concealment device. My senses are very blurry, and I can't see the specific possibilities of the future … "
Aesop frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
