Reign
Kowloong Metropolis—96 hours until the arrival of the Ascendants and the other forces.
Lady Qu, why did you decline Luna's request?
Huaxu, I know I must hand you over to Luna—
—But for a person like her, there is a difference in trust between me giving her something, and her taking something away.
Why must you destroy them? Isn't the end result the same for the both of you?
Not at all. We are destined to be at odds with each other. I wish to continue the human race, while she wishes to completely erase humanity's existence.
So when she uncovers the truth, she will try to stop the Tabula Akasha.
Even with the city enshrouded, there's no guarantee that the ruins beneath the city will go unnoticed by Luna.
Therefore, it is paramount that we nip this in the bud and eliminate all that threatens the Tabula Akasha.
What about the people of Babylonia?
They shall serve as my pawns in the fight against the Ascendants until their very last breath.
During which, we will be in Kowloong working behind the scenes, steadily working on implementing the Tabula Akasha.
Understood. What do you require of me?
Backup the M.I.N.D. data for all of the Primes and Phecda in Kowloong, record all battlefield intel and maximize their memory data, then save everything onto the Tabula Akasha.
Understood. Shall we inform the citizens?
No. The fewer who know, the better.
Roger.
When people look up to the Sovereign, they see what they want to see.
But in fact, they only get what the Sovereign chooses to give.
Let me give them one last show before the curtain falls.
