Ezekiel stepped into the center of the assembly hall, where the legislative seats encircled the statue representing the separation of the three governntal powers. She lightly touched the statue with her left hand as if looking at a relic.
"This is the Congress Building, the Federation cannot possibly splinter, and no Federation people would believe that division is a good thing," declared the Commander-in-chief.
"It’s not all Federation people that can decide whether the Federation will split or not, but rather a small part... like the ones present here," Ezekiel said with a smile.
"There’s so dissatisfaction among a few of the southern states," Bideng said, looking toward the candidate with ill intent—the very states that ford the candidate’s largest voter base.
In the military seating area, many were wearing AR glasses and frequently checking their smartphones.
Others seated around appeared as stable as Mount Tai, while so seed sowhat panicked, looking around anxiously.
At this mont, a series of footsteps echoed from the hallway.
Everyone turned their gaze towards the door.
After a short while, about a dozen white n in black suits appeared at the entrance.
"Enough, gentlen, enough," announced the Minister of Defense as he stood up.
Everyone looked at him, unsure of what the situation was now.
The newly arrived n in suits were of various ages; the youngest in their thirties and the oldest about the sa age as Bideng.
"The founder of Giant God Military Industry? Mr. Noah?" Saint Mary recognized one and stood up in respect.
Noah was one of the major tycoons in the Federation’s military-industrial complex, with shipyards and heavy factories under the Giant God conglorate, producing half of the Federation’s tanks, warships, and aircraft carriers.
Following Noah were the leaders of the Federation dical College Alliance, the founders of the civilian space company Icarus, and the giants from the field of material science, the Annuo Consortium...
These elites all converged here, standing behind Ezekiel, and although they stood on lower ground, they made the politicians sitting in high places feel uneasy.
Those seated all stood up as if by mutual agreent.
At this ti, another set of footsteps ca from the corridor, neither hurried nor slow.
Everyone looked towards the door, only to see Spencer walking slowly into the hall.
"Spencer. Have you co to run for office? If it’s you, I wouldn’t mind retiring a bit sooner," Old Bideng couldn’t help saying, with a hint of jest.
"I won’t beat around the bush, everyone," Spencer said with a grave expression.
He walked to Ezekiel’s side and said, "She should have already introduced herself."
"She says she can see the future, Spencer, what kind of ga are you playing?" Saint Mary asked.
"So of you here already know about this, so I’ll keep it brief. Ezekiel was injected with the latest Black dicine that I developed at United Pharmaceuticals. The Heavenly Falling Object is only the size of a thumbnail, and it was a fluke that we were able to obtain it. It is very weak, so it can only foresee the imdiate future to avoid disaster," Spencer explained.
"It’s only the size of a thumbnail... I get your point. Are you saying the Black dicine was only enough for her to use?" asked the Naval Chief of Staff.
"Two people. We tested it on dicine People twenty-six years ago," Spencer replied.
"What happened to that dicine Person?" inquired the Naval Chief of Staff.
"We executed him. You know, as a devout Puritan, I believed back then that foreseeing the future was disrespectful to Rada Gan."
"And why have you changed your mind now?" Saint Mary asked.
"I lost my faith," said Spencer.
"If this ability is real, it should have been kept for military use. It could provide significant military advantages," the Naval Chief of Staff suggested.
"The surgery was completed the night before last, the sa night the White House was attacked, and I deeply regret it... Last night, Ezekiel’s abilities were awakened. What she saw troubles ," Spencer said.
"I saw things, many things... They were both vague and clear, like an oil painting that has been sared. I saw the nation splitting apart; we were at war with the South, and what’s more, the war isn’t too far from us," Ezekiel proclaid.
"The South?" inquired the Minister of Defense.
Ezekiel nodded.
The Minister of Defense said, "I will ensure this does not happen, ma’am."
"I hope you find a way, I do not know if the future I foresee can be changed," Ezekiel said.
"You ntioned you saw a destruction as well," Bideng said.
"I saw so... strange visions, they were so contradictory..." Ezekiel said.
"Contradictory? What do you an?" Saint Mary asked.
"I saw people living peacefully, without distinction of ethnicity, race, or borders, on a quiet expanse of red soil, all fervently devoted to a common cause," Ezekiel said.
"That sounds like a fantasy world. If the world can really beco like that, why call it the apocalypse?" the Minister of Defense said.
"That’s where the contradiction lies, Mr. Minister. They are not human, yet they are human... They have transcended us... They told they are triangles... So will be chosen to beco double triangles, and two triangles will join with one double triangle... to beco a trinity..." Ezekiel said.
"Are you talking about the Superpower Special Departnt? They spoke to you, which ans you are also in that future," Saint Mary said.
"That is what worries . I was there too, I saw the tower they worshipped... I saw a blood-red sun on the tower, and I also saw tall humans... taller than , and those triangles, they were called the trinity..." Ezekiel said.
"What else did you see?" the Minister of Defense continued to ask.
"That is all, that is the apocalypse I saw," Ezekiel said.
"What kind of apocalypse is that?" the Chief of Naval Staff said.
"I think the future you saw is not aningless, we have signs of a civil war, we need control. Black dicine is rampant now, antidotes have leaked out, and there have been cases of humans turning into monsters all around the world; the dia is under constant control, this is a matter of genetic engineering," the Minister of Defense said.
"Zhao Ling is an example, spies have sent back information, her mutation is due to the misuse of the Lingxian Sect’s immature technology," Bideng added.
"I do not think those people are rely injected with Black dicine..." Ezekiel said.
"Perhaps what you saw was a warlord’s den mutated by illegal Black dicine, but this is also worth our attention," the Minister of Defense said.
"I think you are being overly optimistic about this," Spencer said.
"What do you think?" Old Bideng looked to Saint Mary.
"We have the strongest army in the world, and besides, what we do not lack in this world are delusional fools," the Minister of Defense said.
"If our army were really that powerful, the world would not be heading towards the end Ezekiel saw in 2137," Spencer said.
"The end?" the Minister of Defense asked.
"I am certain, that future is in 2137, and I am also certain that at that point, humans no longer existed in the world, at least, they were hard to find," Ezekiel said.
"Nonsense... how do you know?" Saint Mary was sowhat incredulous.
"It’s a heightened perception during visions of the future, if she was also in that environnt at the ti, she can temporarily gain the mories from that ti. Ezekiel was present, so she may be one of the human survivors," Spencer said.
"If that’s the case... where was Wei Tianyang at the ti?" the Minister of Defense asked.
Ezekiel shook his head and said, "I do not know, I know very little about him, the triangles only told that their ’sun’ was there."
"If that ’sun’ truly threatens us, we must find Wei Tianyang now, we need the most secure thod," Spencer said.
"We need to... digest what you have said... and then... why do we need to find Wei Tianyang? He may not cooperate, and for all we know, he might have been killed by your so-called ’sun’ at that ti. We suspect this ’apocalypse’ may have been triggered by a living Heavenly Falling Object..." the Minister of Defense said.
"I prefer to be cautious," Spencer said.
"All disasters stem from being unguarded, now that we know, we will monitor and observe very closely, and we will prepare, so I think we do not need Wei Tianyang. On the contrary, he may still be a threat, no one knows what he is thinking, he hides away unseen by anyone, how do you know he is willing to help?" the Minister of Defense said.
Spencer did not argue this ti; Wei Tianyang had now retracted his claws, abandoned his ideals, and hid in his hotel to relive his old dreams.
"Alright, we’ve discussed this matter, but what are you bringing them here for?" Saint Mary asked.
At this mont, Noah spoke up, "We now represent the Human Connection Plan Foundation, formally proposing the idea of fourth authority. The current governnt system can no longer control the Federation, we need a new perspective to control all three parties."
