“Public? This is nonsense right?” Poseidon said “You have to know all top pilots have their own tricks and secrets Having a competition like that, open to the public, would reveal all their secrets to everyone Modern recording equip our entire playbook to our enemies, to look over at their convenience It would be the first public god-team bout in the history of DreamNet, much less open to all three alliances Fantascia Genetica is i”
“That’s just so,” Piao Hong replied softly, “and that’s e’re discussing This is not our atte… reserved for a rainy day”
“Go on then,” Zeus said “But you should know that only a very good carrot’s going to get us to agree to your stick”
“You should know Drea suddenly switched topics
She went on “Dreaest multinational cooperation in all of the alliances An independent platforreat nations In order to assure it’s impartiality, it’s central committee broke away from the alliances they came from and became it’s own, special unit It’s ether It’s technological support is reatest faether”
“And have you heard of the Justice’s Proclaard thelance at one another
“Of course,” Zeus said “The Proclamation was aimed at the central committee They were too powerful, and required restrictions During it’s establishether for an agree the Proclamation and it’s rules to help determine it’s effect on the people For instance, one rule states that if a virtual personality develops emotions, it must be destroyed And so on with the rest of the Procla nodded “I ask you this, because I want to know if you agree That all of the central committee’s proclamations are just and equal, and in the best interest of huolden light trickled towards Zeus
Zeus deftly plucked the golden light fro, and as it caht shot down upon the voice howled at them from all directions
“I protect the balance of Dreah the entirety of Drea treure appeared They were olden eyes looked at the, all at once It was as though they could pierce your very soul
“A DreamNet Guardian?” Zeus and Poseidon spoke as one
The treone
Zeus stared wide-eyes at Piao Hong “I had no idea you were a Guardian”
The Drearoup, who existed specifically to deal with the expansive reality’s internal affairs They existed here only, and from the day they accept the mantle of Guardian, their job is to protect DreamNet – and the myriad people who used it – from threat Like DreamNet, they were also free frouarded secret – no one kneho the guardians truly were Theserious was happening in the virtual world
Piao Hong nodded “Indeed Though I was born in the Western Alliance, I am now a Guardian of this place Remember that what I have shared with you now, is an absolute secret If this is a responsibility you two fail to keep, you will becouardians in it
“Promise!” Zeus and Poseidon spoke with one voice They knew quite clearly what the Guardians were, what they did In the whole history of mankind they had averted civil strife at least thrice, and four ti of everyone’s respect
When Piao Hong spoke again, her voice was low “Eight o, the Northern Alliance had sent out an exploration party They were ht in an assault Only a tenth of the expeditionary force returned With theht years from Planet Luo they’d found three new planets Planets that housed endogenous life The life forly strong”
“Stranger than that, though, were the planets They were fixed in space, stationary They had no orbit, no trajectory But what they could do, is affix the their energy When the Northern party caes of plundering a srate with their own eyes The aftermath of the planet’s death hit them like a supernova”
“Afterwards they caical attacks They suffered great losses Luckily they were scouting ships, fast, otherwise there likely wouldn’t have been any survivors”
“When the scouts returned and delivered their report, it was determined the power of one of these planets was equivalent to a space bastion in sheer power – and that is merely a preliminary estimate Also their coht light years… not such a great distance away We huy Perhaps we’ll get lucky, perhaps these alien planets wont choose to come our way But even if they don’t, we must prepare And what’s more…”
