After everyone in the Atlantis camp left with resentment on their faces, Shadow finally reached out and patted Ma En on the shoulder:

"You did it.

"Citizens of the entire Federation would like to thank you for this victory."

After seeing those Level V ability users leaving, other federal politicians also took a few steps forward. They expressed admiration and gratitude to Ma En sincerely or reciprocally, and they also stood there and expressed their gratitude to each other.

Praise, as if Ma En really saved countless citizens, but even so, they still kept a considerable distance from Ma En and did not really come to approach him.

This feeling is just like Ma En is a rare beast in their eyes. Although they can express praise for this mysterious beast, they still don't want to "risk themselves" to get close to him, and deep down in their hearts,

It is also clear that alien beasts and humans cannot truly communicate.

Marne didn't really regard himself as a "hero of the Federation."

Of course, he doesn't want to be either.

"You paid." He replied seriously. "You are the ones who actually paid for this. And without your equipment, I would not be able to defeat Ivanie alone. It can even be said that these are the consequences of the battle."

The impact may be greater than mine."

Shadow completely disagrees with this statement:

"But you are the only one who can use these to defeat her. Whether Atlantis will invade the Federation only depends on your consent. And I don't think those things are really more important than you in this battle, but it doesn't matter.

…

"The point is what happens next, this matter is over for you.

"But it can also be your beginning."

Ma En showed a puzzled expression:

"you mean……"

The shadow turned around and looked at the federal politicians standing not far away, whispering. The shadow slowly rose to cover itself and Ma En, creating a harmless illusion in front of the eyes of these politicians.

Then he looked at Ma En again:

"Look at these guys, 70% of them are truly surprised by your victory. Although the motivations and emotions hidden under their surface joy are different, they are all aware of your abilities and implications.

value.

"To a certain extent, this also proves my vision. Although it may sound incredible to you, in fact, they do not particularly believe in the judgment of level V ability users like me. They always suspect that we are not telling the truth.

.

"Of course that's not a problem because we do it sometimes.

"But now they really know what you can do. This is more useful than me or anyone else's evaluation of you. In fact, our vision may not be accurate. There is nothing better than an unquestionable record.

Persuade people.

"And unlike the last battle where reality was distorted, they had no idea what level Hong Yuan was, and even I who was present at the time didn't understand much of the battle between you.

"But this time there are so many federal politicians present, and they have an accurate idea of ​​Ivanie's level, your reputation will spread quickly."

And it’s not like last time that it was promoted by the federation after deliberately exaggerating it.

Ma En also replied:

"I have no intention of actually joining the Federation."

Shadow nodded slightly to him:

"I understand your thinking. They think that we and they are two different species. I know very well that this is actually the case, but the difference I am talking about is not whether we have abnormal abilities, but personality and concepts. I think you can also see it.

Actually I don't like them either.

"But working for the Federation at the same time does not require us to understand and like each other. To be precise, there are at least hundreds of groups in the Federation. We and they are just tiny structures that make up this giant. For example, Shen Xiao and Zhao Guanwu, and

Those free Taoists, they are not the same kind of people as we are and the federal politicians you see right now.

"Even so, we are still trapped together by the same framework. I can fight the evil together with Shenxiao, and I can also do shady things with these federal politicians. I don't have to be tied to anyone.

"It's the same for you. You don't like these greedy federal politicians, but joining the federation doesn't mean you will become them. It's like Shenxiao could still work in the federation without really asking them.

compromise."

Ma En reminded:

"Shenxiao has been imprisoned by you now."

Shadow nodded:

"Yes, but in fact there is no real connection between these two incidents. As a person involved, I can tell you that not collaborating with them is not the reason why Shenxiao was targeted by the federation. You always feel that kindness and justice are the most important things in Shenxiao.

Unique place.

"But these are only unique when it comes to her, what really makes her special is the strength.

"Actually, there are many people in the Federation who are not as bad as the members of the Salvation Alliance, but they are not as tough and adventurous, or they do not believe in Shenxiao as much as they do, but they still have a place in the Federation.

"Joining the Federation does not mean falling. You are in an era that is very difficult for people like you. Sometimes you cannot ask for the most perfect ending. If you are too greedy, you will often get nothing in the end.

"For example, your compatriots in the Salvation Alliance who were still resisting in the past did not realize that they were just the remaining sparks. They thought that they were still the blazing flames before, but they did not understand that it was only Shenxiao who was burning.

"And their last struggle was to burn all the remaining firewood.

"But you are different from them. When you first cooperated with us, I already realized that you are not as stubborn as them and cannot accept new things and concepts. In this rapidly changing world, we all have to

Follow it as it changes.

"I still hope you can consider this matter again, this is also the best time for you.

"This is my sincere advice to you."

Ma En asked:

"Do you want me to meet those reformers? Or do you want to recruit me?"

Shadow shook his head:

"No, I only have a one-time cooperation with them. As for the investigation department and I, we can't give you a price suitable for you. I don't intend to say anything for that force or faction. I just really hope that there will be more people like you in the federation.

people.

"As far as I know, both the Reformists and the Shu family are interested in you, and they will definitely offer you an olive branch.

"And if you are willing to lower your profile, I guarantee that forces more powerful than them will definitely come to you. They are still hesitating now just because they are concerned about your identity, but in the end you are free to choose whoever you want.

"If you want to consult me, you can come and ask me at any time, but I won't interfere with you.

"I don't want you to think that I have any interests in this matter."

Ma En nodded slightly:

"I will consider your suggestion."

What really made him hesitate was that the blood of Shenxiao was still silent at this moment. Since the goal of the two gods was to win this competition, why didn't there be any changes after he defeated Ivani? Isn't the matter still over?

But what else can I do?

"That's right." Ma En cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, "Now that I have won...

"Then it's time for you to make the final payment?"
Chapter completed!
