Since the war had continued to this point, there were actually many wise people who wanted to stop the war. No matter what the method of ending the war was, whether it was defeating Guyon or negotiating with Guyon. Compared to the endless war between the two sides, how could General Rabir not think of using peace talks to end the war that had lasted for a year and had reduced the world's population by half?
In the original plot, before the Zabi family fell, Rabir was willing to negotiate with Dejin. Although the final result was not very good, it at least explained Rabir's own thoughts. Now that the instigator of the war, the Zabi family, which was intolerable to countless high-ranking officials of the Federation, had fallen, the resistance to General Rabir agreeing to the peace talks was much smaller.
In addition, compared to the original plot, there were more supporters pushing for the peace talks. It could be said that even if Rabir did not agree to the peace talks, it was impossible. With the fall of the Zabi family, it could be said that Guyon's pro-war faction no longer existed. The agreement that Xiaya and the Federation privately signed was also very beneficial to the Federation itself. For example, in one of the clauses, Xiaya agreed to let the Federation reform the new Guyon who had sent support personnel to help. Of course, these personnel naturally had the task of monitoring the development of the new Guyon. Moreover, they had to join the new Guyon by hiding their identities and become important members of some of the new Guyon's departments.
Just this point alone was enough to make the Federation's higher-ups unable to refuse. In addition, Xiaya was willing to take the initiative to gradually reduce the size of the existing army and gradually improve the people's view of the Federation within the new Guyon. With three years as the first phase, he would officially join the Federation in autonomous mode.
All kinds of secret agreements showed Xiaya's sincere desire to stop the war. Although some people suspected that Xiaya and the new Guyon were hiding some conspiracy under this secret agreement, some people in the Federation vaguely associated it with the matter of Xiao Ran and Xiaya jointly capturing Karma. Perhaps Xiaya was Xiao Ran's collaborator on Guyon's side, so he was so active in pushing for a truce.
Under the push of some people, the formal peace talks slowly began. Zabi was secretly transported from Guyon to Earth, and the Federation received a dead Zabi. On the surface, he could not accept his failure and committed suicide on the way, but in fact, he died at the hands of Xiao Ran and other participants.
The negotiations between the Federation and Guyon would last for at least one or two months. Both sides also had a lot of things to discuss and negotiate, such as the complete withdrawal of Guyon's troops from Earth and other work that needed to be dealt with. Under the joint efforts of the Federation's internal personnel and Xiaya, the possibility of continuing the war was almost non-existent. Xiao Ran also did not want to continue to stay in this world while both sides were maintaining stability. It was better to quickly complete the mission and leave, taking advantage of this one or two months of buffer time. Returning to this world again would not change much.
Zabi's death also left the other half of the mission with the final step. Killing another member of the Zabi family's direct line would complete the mission and return to Prometheus. But facing the next member of the Zabi family, Dejin could not die for the time being. After the conversation with him, Xiaya also did not want him to die. The same was true for the Dezru family. Kisilia ran to Achilles, and although Karma returned to Guyon, he was part of the deal with El Erf, so he could not die for the time being.
The only one left was the member of Zabi's family who had been killed, an innocent woman. Zabi's wife.
Ozma, Nalor, Arte, and many others maintained their silence. They would rather continue to waste more time in this world and attack the place called Achilles to kill Kisilia than to kill a woman who posed no threat to them.
But attacking Achilles was obviously very unrealistic. With their current strength, there was no possibility of attacking Achilles. The distance was the biggest problem because Achilles was too far away from Guyon. It would take a very long time for the battleships of this world to arrive.
The second was the risk. Achilles was the last retreat prepared by Guyon, and its combat power was absolutely not to be underestimated. And with the current situation of the team, the majority of the team was newcomers. Even if Xiao Ran, the Skeleton Squad, and a few others could tie down most of the combat power, the loss of the newcomers could not be avoided if they were surrounded by a large number of troops.
Moreover, in a battle situation, there were no support troops at all. Replenishing ammunition was also a very difficult matter, and there was not enough strength to protect the ship. Once the ship was breached, it was equivalent to announcing their failure.
The third was the special significance that Kisilia represented. It was also not an opportunity to attack. There were still some people in Guyon who still hoped that the Zabi family would have a chance to stand up again. They regarded Kisilia as Guyon's last hope. Although they had no choice but to submit to Xiaya because of the current situation, they would naturally listen to Xiaya's orders when both sides were free. But once something happened to Kisilia, it was hard to say what would happen.
But to deal with this problem, it would take a long time to slowly change. So from these aspects, choosing Kisilia was not a suitable choice.
Ozma and the others couldn't do it, but Elelv and Breila didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for the woman. The two of them were indifferent people, at least to people who were unrelated to them, especially to their mission target. Killing an innocent person wouldn't cause them any psychological pressure at all. But in fact, even Xiao Ran couldn't do it.
Ever since he had entered this world, Xiao Ran had tried his best to avoid harming innocent people during every mission. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that he had personally harmed these innocent people. Xiao Ran felt that it was somewhat difficult for him to harm someone who wasn't considered an enemy and was completely harmless to him even if they were unarmed.
However, a mission was a mission, after all. If he couldn't complete the mission, he wouldn't be able to stay here peacefully for the rest of his life. Just like the hidden rewards, if he deliberately didn't complete the mission for a long time, there might be hidden punishments. In Xiao Ran's opinion, wandering around leisurely in a world that forced him to become stronger was simply courting death. Who knew when an alien force would appear or force him to accept an impossible mission? If that happened, he would be in for some fun.
But before Xiao Ran and the others could take action, a huge change occurred inside New Guyon that Xiao Ran and the others did not expect. Karma escaped, or it could be said that Xiaya turned a blind eye and tolerated the undercurrents inside New Guyon, allowing some people who were unwilling to accept his rule to rush into the Capital Star and rescue a group of former senior members of Guyon, including Karma.
Xiaya did not send anyone to chase after these people left. He even refused and asked El Erf not to chase after them. This made El Erf understand that Karma's departure was clearly another deal between Xiaya and Dejin. Dejin's life and Gillian's life. The real stability of the entire Guyon in exchange for Karma's departure, in exchange for Dezru, and in exchange for the lives of other members of the Zabi Family.
Xiaya agreed to the last request of Dejin, who was past his prime. On a certain night, a silent gunshot ended Dejin's life. Xiao Ran and all the other participants finally heard the prompt of Prometheus's return after completing the mission.
"Ding, Main Mission 3 completed. Reward: 1000 battle achievement points. Evaluation: A. Return conditions have changed. Return mission has been completed. "
"Corps Mission: Help Xiaya complete his revenge against the Zabi Family, break through and occupy the Guyon and Lanada moon bases, complete the transfer of Forana's mechanisms, and kill two members of the Zabi Family's direct bloodline. Mission completed."
"Received Corps Reward: Corps Building: Perfect Strengthened Human Research Institute. Cannot be upgraded. Corps members can be strengthened (limited to one use). Cost: 5000 battle achievement points plus X, X is the Corps' self-determined battle achievement points income. Obtained Strengthened Human Random Basic Abilities (Basic Space Identification, Spirit Sense, Enhanced Perception, Enhanced Cognition). The number of abilities obtained will vary according to the spiritual aptitude of the strengthened person. Construction requirements: 500,000 battle achievement points and 50,000 Corps supplies. "
"Received Corps Reward: 170,000 battle achievement points and 17,000 supplies."
"Ding, Corps Mission completed. Received Corps Personal Reward: 5000 battle achievement points. Received exclusive body x1, designated body GN-X (modified). Received Contribution Reward: New Human Specialized Linear Cannon, C-grade weapon component. "
"Corps Building? Strengthened Human? " This thought flashed through Xiao Ran's mind, and then he heard the contribution reward given by Prometheus. At the current level of this world, the New Human Specialized Linear Cannon was indeed a relatively advanced weapon, and it was also a C-grade weapon component. But for Xiao Ran, there was only one word to describe it: "Trash."
"Ding, Main Mission 1 to Main Mission 3 completed. Your exploration of this world is 150%, completely changing the normal trend of this world. You have received an Ultimate Mission Card."
"Ding, you have received an Ultimate Mission Card. [Complete the revolution of this world, make the original constitution public, overthrow the current Earth Federation, unify the Earth, and establish a new order. Defeat the intruders. If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with 30,000 war merit points, two golden treasure chests, one mission quota to bring out of this world, and random rewards.] Mission Failure: Obliterated … "
"All missions have been completed. You can choose to return in 24 hours."
Xiao Ran was stunned. Xiao Ran wasn't surprised by the appearance of the Ultimate Mission Card. Overthrowing the Federation and establishing a new order wasn't surprising to Xiao Ran either. However, what really surprised him was the second requirement after the first one, which was to defeat the intruders in the world. This gave Xiao Ran a bad feeling.
"Intruder? What is this?" This question popped up in Xiao Ran's mind, but Prometheus would not give him any answer at all. With the addition of the intruder, the mission reward also had a Random Reward. The appearance of a Random Reward usually meant a rich reward, but rich rewards would not appear for no reason. So, the reason for the increase in the reward was naturally this intruder.
"Could it be another participant? If it's an intruder, wouldn't it be a participant like us? But this shouldn't be. How can there be other participants in the Ultimate Mission? If it's not a participant, then what is it? " Xiao Ran frowned. He had a feeling that something unexpected might appear in this Ultimate Mission.
There was only one Ultimate Mission Card in this world, and participants could not enter other participants' Ultimate Missions. This was also a rule. But since the intruder was not a participant, then what kind of strange things would appear? What kind of threat would it bring? These were all unknown. This would also bring unnecessary trouble and danger to Xiao Ran's mission.
"Intruder … Intruder … Intruder?!" Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to complete the Ultimate Mission. I just hope that this intruder is not some random thing. I need to be more prepared."
In this mission, Xiao Ran was the one who took the lead. El Erf and the others only followed Xiao Ran's instructions. So, the exploration of this world was naturally credited to Xiao Ran. The others could not get the Ultimate Mission Card, so naturally, they would not know about the intruder.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Ran said in his mind, "Let's go back."
Everything that needed to be done in this world had been done. Staying for another 24 hours would not change anything. Xiao Ran directly chose to return. As for whether the others chose to stay for another 24 hours, it was their own business. But no matter what choice they made, the time to return to Prometheus was the same.
When Xiao Ran opened his eyes, he saw a familiar environment. Light beams descended around him, and people who had been separated for a long time appeared in the middle. Looking at these people whom he had not seen for a long time, Xiao Ran smiled.
