Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 296 - 275: Everyone Succumbs?

Chapter 296: Chapter 275: Everyone Succumbs?

Yes, Levent would never speak such words.

In the era when the Justice Federation was not yet called the Justice Federation, during that period of darkness, there was truly no glimpse of hope to be seen.

The power of civilization was completely controlled by a group of rulers with immense strength and countless resources, and the entire civilization Level was strictly hierarchical. Every move of the lower class was subjected to rigorous surveillance, enslaved not only in body but also in spirit.

Even Levent, at the beginning, saw no hope whatsoever.

But he wouldn’t say that.

Once he was resolute in his direction, even if a chasm lay before him, he would jump down without hesitation.

He feared neither failure nor despair.

Only such a man could become the “brain” of the Justice Federation Council.

So, when he uttered such words in the council, seeds of doubt were already planted, not just in Frey, but in anyone who knew of Levent’s legend would harbor suspicions.

Of course, for those who didn’t understand Levent, there was not much of an impression.

However, this was just the start of the contamination.

Frey saw the confusion among the audience but did not explain, as the images changed once more.

It was still the meeting, and still Levent.

This time, everyone noticed slight changes.

His eyes had turned bloodshot, his demeanor became disheveled, and even his facial features twisted as if he were engulfed in a great conflict and struggle.

“Facing this apocalypse, resistance seems meaningless. Perhaps we should seek other methods, such as further understanding the true nature of the apocalypse.”

The words spoken were similar to last time, but everyone could see his wavering.

Then the next image appeared.

This time, the changes in Levent were even more apparent, his expression had turned extremely ferocious.

“Perhaps we are all mistaken. This is not an apocalypse, but an opportunity!”

By this stage, even those who were unfamiliar with Levent could clearly feel the change.

And this was because of the obvious contrast with the previous images.

If the Levent in the first image was a wise and strong-willed civilization leader, the current Levent looked more like a madman!

Yet, it was still not the end.

When the last image appeared, everyone present, including the powerhouses from the Great Wilderness Civilization and the Ebat Civilization, felt a chill of terror that wasn’t caused by the cold.

For, by this time, Levent had returned completely to his original demeanor!

Calm and serious in countenance, his eyes still shone with the light of wisdom.

“This is a great evolution!” He looked at his companions, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice, “We should not resist. We should embrace it with open arms, for it represents the truth of the Universe, the essence of existence, and the ultimate destination of our civilization’s pursuit!”

“…”

Cold, trembling, fear—all these emotions surfaced at that moment.

Some of the weaker-willed individuals already appeared dazed, staring at the image.

The reason was simple.

The words spoken by Levent in the image were the very words often expressed by Spiritual Ability Mutants!

It could even be said to be one of their hallmarks!

Yet compared to the crazy tone of the Spiritual Ability Mutants, with visibly twisted and mutated appearances, the fear caused by the resolute civilization leader before them, speaking such words calmly and with equal firmness, was tenfold, a hundredfold more chilling!

Had he been contaminated?

What, then, were his thoughts now?

Did he firmly believe he was right?

Or had he merely twisted his past understanding?

Or did he not see this as contamination, but instead felt that he had recognized something previously unrecognized and thus changed his judgment of the contamination?

No one could provide an answer, but it was the unknown that caused fear!

Even some began to introspect, wondering if they too were being silently and completely twisted in their thinking!

“The images I have shown everyone were from a very short span of time,” Frey spoke again, delivering another heavy blow to everyone.

The span was short, and yet quietly so!

Honestly, the Trial of turning one’s own people into enemies was not something they hadn’t experienced; one might say that most civilizations had been through similar Trials.

But the changes from before were very clear.

Once a change occurred, everyone could know and judge it.

But now…

The thought alone of having someone who appeared exactly the same as before, but in essence had already sided with the Trial, among one’s own ranks, was terrifying.

Especially the possibility that one might unknowingly fall to the same fate!

“In short, the purpose of inviting all the Envoys here is as such,” Frey continued, “We hope you can share your own foundations for resisting the apocalypse to help us address, or at least alleviate, Levent’s contamination…”

“Frey,”

a voice suddenly interrupted Frey.

It was Busa, standing behind Frey.

This member of the Justice Federation, also one among the Three Giants, wore an expression of dissatisfaction at that moment.

“We still cannot confirm whether Levent has indeed been contaminated,” Busa intoned with added emphasis. “The meeting hasn’t reached a clear judgment. In fact, Levent could very well have changed his views based on additional data and intelligence. After all, we still know too little about this incident.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the envoys of the Trial Civilizations present suddenly turned their heads to look at the person who had spoken.

They were naturally aware of this individual’s intelligence.

The Justice Federation had seven supreme council members, among which there were three “Giants.”

“Giant” was not an official title but rather a term used by the people. Still, to hold the spotlight among the seven indicated the significant clout of these three individuals.

Among them, Levent represented wisdom and intellect; Frey represented intelligence and knowledge; and Busa stood for strength!

As the “Child of the Stars,” he possessed immense power and a radiant smile, and he loved the stars of the night so much that he once chased the rotation of planets just to bathe in their celestial glow.

But at this moment, Busa… was enveloped entirely in a thick, pitch-dark cloak, not a trace of him visible, his voice hoarse. His recent utterance carried visible dissatisfaction, even anger.

Is this the “Child of the Stars”?

And then there were his words.

Levent had already turned into this, even declaring the desire to “embrace great evolution,” and that still wasn’t considered contamination?

Suddenly, everyone became vigilant!

And it wasn’t just the people on the stage they were wary of, but also their companions at their sides!

You Ming was no exception!

As a possessor of the Golden Legendary Talent, he had a strong resistance to contamination. But the people he brought along were only those of Purple Legendary Talent!

In terms of strength, even if they were stronger than Busa on the stage, it was by an extremely limited margin.

However, Busa’s words seemed to be just the beginning.

The other council members of the Justice Federation also began to speak up at this time.

“Busa is right, Frey, you’re being too arbitrary,” one said.

“To publicly disclose Levent’s recording is to expose the contents of our highest council, the top-most secret of the Justice Federation!”

“Why didn’t you discuss it with us first?”

“Levent might not be contaminated after all; we might be the ones who are mistaken.”

“Frey, do you remember the Heloy campaign? At that time, all of us opposed Levent, even thinking he had gone mad, but it turned out that he was the one who was right.”

“…”

Five council members spoke simultaneously and, in front of many delegations, directed their accusations at Frey!

Their words brimmed with clear dissatisfaction.

Is this still the Justice Federation, known for its unity, amiability, and firm resolve?

Indeed, such a scene exposed to the public would cause a massive uproar in the entire Justice Federation, and even lead to countless unforeseen incidents!

And for this very reason, the mood of everyone present had reached an utmost heaviness!

Some even wore expressions of disbelief.

Could it be that all seven council members of the Justice Federation had fallen?

If it were really so…

Then they, at this moment, would be in the midst of enemies!

But this was a secondary concern.

The Justice Federation was on the verge of complete collapse!

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

A person suddenly interjected, interrupting the council members’ accusations against Frey.

It was the powerful individual from the Great Wilderness Civilization who carried the phenomenon of the “rising sun and moon over the sea.”

His name was Ji Tian.

To have his name be Heavenly indicated his grandeur.

“Arguing amongst ourselves at this juncture is pointless. Now that we have come, no matter what, we should at least meet Levent. In my view, we should see him first and then discuss further.”

Ji Tian’s voice was not sharp, but as soon as he spoke, a natural authority emanated from him, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Even involuntarily, they wanted to be persuaded.

However, all present were strong-willed individuals and were not so easily swayed.

“Impossible!” Frey, slightly nervous, countered. “Levent is quite dangerous at the moment, and we still haven’t confirmed the means by which the contamination spreads.”

Indeed, although she understood the change in her colleague, she had to be cautious!

At least until the envoys of Human Civilization arrived, she absolutely couldn’t allow the others to have careless contact with Levent!

In fact, she had not planned to host this banquet so soon, preferring to wait until the envoys of Human Civilization arrived.

Yet, it was the collective decision of the other council members.

From some point onwards, what was originally a council engaged in endless disputes, with conflicts and disagreements growing, suddenly became harmonious again, with only Frey seeming out of place.

Even now, it remained so.

“I think it is permissible,” Busa spoke up again, strengthening his tone. “Levent hasn’t done anything to harm the Federation’s interests. A mere difference of opinion should not lead to his immediate incarceration.”
