Tessa didn't understand what Renard wanted to do, but what Renard was doing now made Tessa feel afraid. He actually took people to occupy the headquarters of the alliance army and took control of all the representatives sent by various countries. He said that he wanted to borrow their bodies, but Tessa was terrified when she thought about how he would do that.
Tessa certainly didn't think that there was a race like the Demon Envoys who could transfer souls and occupy bodies, so she didn't understand what it meant to borrow a body. In Tessa's opinion, this kind of borrowing might be a real 'borrowing', such as borrowing a certain part of a body, or using these people as hostages to make certain demands. Tessa didn't know what the former meant, and if it was the latter, she felt that it was completely unnecessary. Tessa didn't think that there was anything in this world that required Xiao Ran to use such a method to obtain.
But Tessa was more afraid of something else. She was worried about whether Xiao Ran knew what Renard was doing. Why did he want to redevelop the Amalgam? Why did he want to occupy this place? Was it Xiao Ran's decision or Renard's own idea? If it was the latter, then Renard was obviously developing his own strength. What was Renard trying to do by developing his own strength? Could it be that he had betrayed Xiao Ran? If that was the case, did Xiao Ran know about this?
Tessa absolutely didn't want to see Renard betray Xiao Ran. As for the redevelopment of the Amalgam, it didn't matter to Tessa anymore. Renard had finally climbed out of the abyss, and Tessa didn't want him to make another mistake and fall into the abyss. She also didn't want Renard to deceive Xiao Ran, who was currently in the universe. She was a little worried because both of them were people she cared about.
Renard wanted to leave, but Tessa stubbornly stood in front of Renard. As long as Renard didn't give her an explanation, she would never take a step back.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Letting the Amalgam reign over this world again." Renard took a step back and let Tessa fully enter his eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up. "Of course, this is what he knows, and he allowed it. That's all you care about, sister."
"Why …" Tessa's body stiffened. She muttered, "Why?"
"It's for you. To be able to protect you forever, stupid sister." Renard said in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud when he looked at Tessa. Instead, he said, "Don't look at the Amalgam with the eyes of the past. What we need is the shell of the Amalgam, a shell that can allow us to integrate into this world faster. The Amalgam can be us, but we are definitely not the Amalgam. Do you think that with our power, those people from the other countries would let us integrate into this world so easily?"
"Very soon, we will officially step onto the stage of stealing the country and truly establish ourselves in this world. This is not a good thing for most forces and countries, but for Mithril, it's not a bad thing. I know you don't trust me, so if you have any doubts, you can use that battleship to go to the universe and find out everything you want to know from him personally. Wouldn't that be better?"
"I hope that Mithril can be prepared for what's to come next. This world is about to start a huge revolution, and no one can stop it. If you can't keep up with the pace of this revolution, or choose the wrong path in the revolution, then you will definitely become the dust that the wheels of history roll by. If you really care about Mithril that much, then in the end, don't make a single wrong step in your next choice.
As soon as Renard finished speaking, the originally closed door of the conference room suddenly opened. Cain led a group of people out of the conference room. When he saw Renard stopped by Tessa, Cain's footsteps paused for a moment. A faint smile appeared on his face. "Looks like you're still busy. There's still plenty of time, so I'm not in a hurry to start the next step."
Tessa looked in Cain's direction. Her expression suddenly became a little strange because she saw the representatives of various countries standing behind Cain. Everyone's face was filled with coldness and indifference. Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were sharp. The aura they exuded was completely different from before. It was as if they had never met these people before.
Feeling doubtful and surprised, Tessa peeked into the meeting room through the gap. It was cleaner than she had imagined. Other than the chairs that were in a mess, there were no traces of blood. Besides, other than torture, what else could make these people become like this at the same time in such a short time? Hypnosis?
But what about those people who had lost consciousness?
"You're strange?" Cain seemed to be very friendly to Tessa. He glanced at Renard and said, "I don't think your sister is a person like Kajali, but she also has her own beliefs. Smart people tend to overthink things. If you don't want her to not understand you in the future and end up in a fight, I suggest you explain more to her. Hehe, after all, hehe, you care about her a lot, don't you?"
"When the time comes, if she really runs into space, then you'll be asking for trouble. It's not good to let that person interfere in the matter between you two siblings."
Renard turned around and looked at Cain with a cold expression. His eyes flashed with shame and anger. He turned around and walked away without paying any attention to Cain. "Whatever."
Cain walked in front of Tessa and smiled leisurely. "Don't worry. Although this side of that guy is rare, he does care about you."
"Thank you." Tessa looked at Cain and asked, "And you are?"
"I'm Cain." Cain said, "I'm from the Burning Legion. I'm in charge of intelligence and secret service. My current job is to assist Renard."
Tessa nodded and looked behind Cain. "Mr. Cain, they?"
"They're just being controlled." Cain smiled. Compared to his original appearance, his attitude towards Tessa was very strange, especially the smile on his face. He also seemed very patient. "You should know that we come from space, and there are more than just humans in space. You can see us as pure soul creatures, so we can freely change our bodies. These people are no longer the same as before, they are my subordinates."
The moment Tessa, Richard, and Jerome were shocked, Cain continued. "But you don't have to think of us as so evil. The difference between us is just a difference in the form of life. Possessing them is not devouring their souls. It's just a means to achieve our goal."
"As for what we want to do, Renard has already told you. In fact, it's because we need a foothold in this place and not just drifting in space. This way, we need a foothold. A complete country is our best choice. Perhaps we can use force to achieve our goal, but of course, it's better to be recognized because we have no intention of starting a war on this planet."
"We hope to become one of us, and not continue to be involved in all the subsequent crises as outsiders. What I can tell you is that the problem of the dimensional beasts is far more serious than you imagined. With the current strength of Earth, it's impossible to resist the true attack of the dimensional beasts. Furthermore, outsiders have no obligation to protect your home. Only by becoming a part of this home can we invest more in protecting this place."
"We need logistics, supplies, space, and rest. It's better to control a territory of our own and provide everything we need than to cooperate with you and obtain the corresponding supplies from you."
"But it's not easy to achieve this step, so we need to borrow the influence of the Amalgamate. The Amalgamate was indeed wiped out once, but the Amalgamate's influence on this world is far more than that. Even now, there are still members of the Amalgamate lurking in various countries. They even control many consortiums, warlords, and even some small countries. If we use the Amalgamate's influence and other operations, it'll be easier for us to integrate into this planet."
"We're using this method because we don't want to start a war. But war … Hehe, to be honest, a war between planets is just a game to us. Our real purpose is to avoid meaningless sacrifices. After achieving this step, we will have more actions to take. As for whether to ignore the forces of these countries, subdue them, or make everyone truly unite, it will depend on our progress. As for the Mithril, you don't have to be too nervous about this."
Speaking up to this point, Kane nodded and smiled at Tessa. "That's all for now. We're not afraid of becoming enemies with anyone, but we don't want the Mithril to become enemies with us. You can think about what I said. As for the issue of the alliance, I'm afraid that from today onwards, the alliance will no longer exist. We will also take over the problem of the dimensional beasts."
With that, Kane left with a group of people, leaving Tessa and the other two behind, who didn't know what to do.
In a certain office, Renard was contacting someone on the phone. Kane walked in alone and sat in front of Renard.
After a few words of instructions, Renard hung up the phone and looked at Kane. "She left?"
Kane said leisurely, "No, maybe she wants to see what we're going to do next. She's still in this building."
"Don't do such boring things in the future." Renard took a deep look at Kane and said, "I don't know when you learned to be so similar to Cruzet."
"No, at least Cruzet's bad taste isn't on this point. Mine isn't considered bad either." The corners of Kane's mouth curled up. "It's just to prevent the misunderstanding between you two siblings from affecting our future plans."
Renard didn't dwell on this issue. Instead, he said directly, "Today's matter definitely can't be hidden. We didn't want to hide it in the first place. We can use this opportunity to contact the various countries in the name of the amalgam. You'll be in charge of this aspect. I'll continue to expand the amalgam's influence. Cruzet will still be in charge of cleaning up and stabilizing the amalgam."
Kane nodded slightly. "It's nothing more than control and bribery. It won't affect your next plan."
Of course, what happened in the headquarters of the Alliance Army today couldn't be covered up. However, Renard and Kane didn't intend to do so in the first place. Otherwise, they wouldn't have occupied this place with such fanfare. Renard wanted to let some people know what happened today and why it happened. He wanted to let some people know that as long as he wanted to, no one could stop him anywhere.
This was only the first step of the next plan. Next, the Demonists would replace the original representatives and return to their own countries. They would cooperate with more intelligence personnel to complete the infiltration and control of various countries. Just as Kane said, it was nothing more than control and bribery.
Whether it was money or power, the Burning Legion had countless good things in their hands. It was enough to make many people lose their minds. A stronger body and a longer lifespan were things that no one could ignore. However, the Burning Legion could provide them all.
The next step was to disband the Alliance Army and use the influence of various governments to promote the Earth Guardian Plan. This plan was, of course, specially tailored for the Burning Legion. The goal was to mold the Burning Legion into the protector of this planet. At the same time, the Burning Legion would give a suitable identity that ordinary people could easily accept. Of course, in the process, the Burning Legion would also gradually take over the small country currently controlled by the amalgam.
The last step was the development plan. But no matter which step it was, the goal was to serve the territory in the end. It was to gain prestige and support. However, this was bound to be a relatively long-term plan. It could take a year or two. Fortunately, this mission should have a long time to complete all the arrangements.
The plan was formulated by Renard, Kane, Cruzet, and the others. Xiao Ran did not spend too much time on it. Even without Xiao Ran, the plan was quite perfect. Even if there were some omissions, they could change it according to the actual situation. After all, the overall situation was under control, and small mistakes would not affect anything.
The reason why Kane said so much to Tessa was not entirely because of his bad taste. Mithril was very special in this world and understood the Legion the best. Kane did not want to have any more twists and turns in the plan because of his relationship with Mithril. Moreover, Kane was very clear that even if Mithril really did something, with the relationship between Renard and Xiao Ran, it would be difficult for them to harden their heart to do anything to Tessa. Moreover, Renard would not want to see Tessa sad, and Xiao Ran would not want to see such a scene.
