The President watched as General Yi, who had walked into the nutrient pod with ease, felt terrible, his facial expression becoming extremely tangled. Originally, he had prepared several strategies to deal with Yi Xiao's personality and reactions. The most likely scenawas that Yi Xiao would be extremely arrogant in all aspects and sternly refuse to enter the Abyss Black Hole again, disregarding the lives of everyone in the Federation.
In fact, Yi Xiao did behave this way in the first half. Seeing Yi Xiao's reaction, he felt both angry and sad. On the one hand, he felt that his predictions were correct, and fortunately, he had prepared the cameras. After Yi Xiao spoke out of turn, he would broadcast this footage throughout the Federation. This way, even if Yi Xiao, a respected and admired strongman by the people of the Federation, would instantly beca ruthless and evil general who disregarded the survival of the Federation.
By then, they could take forcible measures. Perhaps Yi Xiao was very confident in the powerful strength of his "Night Owl Legion." This was something he didn't deny either. However, if he becthe enemy of the entire nation, they wouldn't just be facing the Federation's top ten legions but also the fury and despair of the entire Federation populace. In that situation, even if the Night Owl Legion were valiant warriors capable of fighting ten opponents alone, they wouldn't be able to emerge unscathed and might suffer heavy casualties.
But things had clearly developed along the expected trajectory, so why did it suddenly fly off like an unbridled wild horse at the end? President Howard couldn't find the reason. He stared at the nutrient pod for a long time, his eyes flickering. Finally, he said slowly, "In that case, we'll wait for ten days. I hope that General Yi, you can give us an answer that won't disappoint everyone in the Federation."
Yi Xiao, lying in the nutrient pod, didn't reply to the President. The President didn't mind and directly led the group out of the research institute. As they were about to leave the institute's gates, two slender figures with smiles on their faces approached them. At first glance, these two could be described in words-top talents. Upon seeing the President and the people behind him, the two showed polite but distant smiles. As for the President and the others, when they looked at the two, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Talented individuals, but why follow a madman?!"
Clearly, they both graduated from the Federation's top universities as top talents. One could rival dozens of others in terms of wisdom, while the other was seamless in logistics. These were individuals who would be fought over by the Federation's top ten legions. However, they were stubbornly following a mentally handicapped lunatic who would have psychic outbreak at the slightest provocation. It was truly heartbreaking to see how many people had been led astray.
Unfortunately, since they had followed Yi Xiao, they were no longer part of their own nation. So, the others nodded in a distant manner, ready to leave. As they passed by, Wen Quan suddenly spoke gently, "Mr. President, you said you hope our general can give you an answer that won't disappoint the people of the Federation. But even if he gives that answer, it may cost you a lot. Are you willing to bear that?"
The President's footsteps cto a halt, his expression showing sdispleasure mixed with a smile that had been anticipated. Without turning around, his voice cout steady and strong, "Perhaps you think I am someone who resorts to any means to achieve my goals, disregarding others' feelings for my own sake. But aside from other matters, when it comes to dealing with the Abyss Black Hole, I have always acted with a clear conscience. My methods may not be righteous, but as long as there's a bright outcome, I don't care. Similarly, as long as the final result is good, even if it costsmy life, I would gladly agree. For example, if General Yi agrees to enter the Abyss Black Hole again, I can accompany him. That's my greatest sincerity."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWen Quan hadn't expected President Howard to propose such a condition. The fact that he could say such words meant he was genuinely willing to do it. In dealing with the Abyss Black Hole, this President had indeed reached the extreme.
"Well then, do you mind if I ask why you are so obsessed with the Abyss Black Hole?"
The President remained silent for a long tafter hearing this question. When Wen Quan and Zack thought he might not answer, the President's voice finally came.
"I had a close friend, a genius who could rival anyone and would have undoubtedly beca genius for the entire Federation if he had grown up successfully. He was much stronger thanin every aspect, and I had even planned to follow his path in the future. However, among the stars shining over the Federation, there isn't such a person now."
"...Was he killed by the Abyss Black Hole?"
The President slowly turned around at this moment, his resolute face showing an indescribable expression of pain, guilt, anger, and remorse. He spoke, "No, I killed him."
Everyone in the research institute was shocked at this moment. This was a secret about the President that they had never heard before. No one could have imagined that His Excellency, the President of the Alliance, was a murderer!
Even Zack and Wen Quan were taken aback, and at this moment, Yi Xiao, having fulfilled his little sun's request, sat up seriously from the nutrient pod, ready to gossip.
The President glanced at them from afar, unable to help but smile inwardly. Indeed, even the most powerful individuals enjoyed gossip. Since they needed to pry open his wounds to get spromises, what harm would it do to open up a bit more?
"He was a genius in every way, whether in mech piloting or psychic abilities. So, he naturally escaped the Federation's long-loose Black Hole encirclement. Ha, I'm not bad-mouthing my predecessor here, but during his tenure, he hardly ever did anything practical. Financial corruption in the Federation increased, the aristocracy grew stronger, space piracy ran rampant, and the military beclax... He deserved to be overthrown by me. At least I've done well in this regard, right?"
Yi Xiao smirked from afar. In fact, this old President was quite a controversial radical before taking office. Apart from the streaking incident, he had indeed been involved in quite a few scandalous affairs. And even if he disliked this person very much, he had to admit that the Federation had made sprogress in the past twenty years.
"Ah, getting off-topic here. Let's get back on track. My genius friend crossed the Federation's Black Hole encirclement and entered the Black Hole according to his own plan. You may not believe it, but General Yi, you're not the only one to have cinto contact with the core of the Black Hole in the past few centuries." The President's face revealed a proud smile. "He was the first."
"He entered the black hole for four days and obtained the core mist of evil thoughts from the black hole. But what's the use of that? He was too reckless; geniuses always suffer in this regard. When I saw him again, he was already a madman. It seemed like he used a method to force all his evil thoughts into one side of his body, while the other side of his body and brain remained clear. So, after seeing me, he toldthat the Abyss Black Hole would bring destruction to the entire Federation, but it shouldn't be like that. The future of the Federation still has endless possibilities, so he wanted to stop it. Unfortunately, he failed. Then, he askedto kill him. Because once he was completely consumed by evil thoughts, he would definitely beca terrifying villain who does nothing but evil."
"So, I killed him with my own hands."
"And then, from that moment on, I decided to destroy the Abyss Black Hole at all costs. That thing is just too annoying; its existence devours all the possibilities of the Federation's future."
After finishing his last sentence, the President nodded to the crowd and left. The people behind him hurriedly followed, while Zack and Wen Quan exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes. By this time, Yi Xiao had lain down again and spoke to his little sun:
【His story sounds quite touching. Even I feel moved by it.]
The little sun swirled around in Yi Xiao's mental sea, still not quite used to being a ball from head to toe, feeling like he was skind of amputee. Despite having made various preparations and assumptions beforehand, he had never imagined that in the real world, he would be a ball. Well, that sounded a bit awkward.
However, that didn't hinder his thinking: [That shouldn't be made up. Although he spoke calmly throughout, his eyes were full of anger and persistence towards the Abyss Black Hole. Moreover, he's willing to sacrifice his life for it, which is something many people can't do.] Yi Xiao smirked: [It's as if his life is so precious. If he really went into the Abyss Black Hole with me, he would definitely be a burden. Absolutely useless. But well, to go crazy like that for the sake of a close friend? I think that close friend might not be just a friend; probably more like a best buddy? Did you hear what he said before, 'wanting to follow his path? Tsk tsk tsk, hahaha, I've never been so cheesy!]
As Ren Zhu listened to General Yi's undisguised mockery, he silently pursed his lips. Considering how much this guy had been wronged and deceived by the President many times, he didn't say anything. However, seeing how excited he was or maybe he had eaten sbeans that made him laugh, damn it, he laughed for a full ten minutes and his mental sea was still swaying with laughter. It was unbearable.

【Since the worlds we experienced before were all your memories, although there were also worlds invaded by the evil thoughts of the Abyss Black Hole, they all existed in your mind. So, do you remember everything that happened in the previous worlds?】 General Yi's laughter, as if it could last forever, abruptly ceased. In the nutrient pod, his body stiffened suddenly.
[Oh, it seems you do remember.] The little sun swirled up and down, simulating a nodding motion. [Then, do you remember calling yourself an idiot?]
Yi Xiao: [...]
【Do you remember despising yourself as worthless?]
Yi Xiao: [...]
[Do you remember seizing upon the weaknesses of the previous generation to attack and elevate yourself, always seeking attention in front of me, and constantly doing inexplicable things to provoke me?】
[I think it's tfor us to settle the scores of these lifetimes. Otherwise, if I keep bottling up resentment for several lifetimes, I might end up turning dark, just like a black hole.]
Yi Xiao: [...]
At this moment, I feel like I'm a dead general already. Why did I even laugh just now?! I shouldn't have laughed; I should have cried!!
How to resolve the accumulated resentment from my wife over several lifetimes and my own dark history when I can't go to bed in a short time?! I'm online waiting, I'm about to go crazy with impatience.
