1911 Hero or Sinner
Accompanied by Gu Shaoyu’s accusation from the bottom of his heart.

Scenes that were extremely clear appeared in Meng Chao’s mind, as if they had happened yesterday.

He seemed to see himself personally leading the three great legions of Broken Star Club, Superstar Company, and Battle God Palace, fighting countless battles at the frontlines against the Holy Light faction.

When the enemies swarmed in from all directions like a burning tide, the good boys whom he had saved from the slums and the piles of dead bodies and had carefully cultivated for decades at all costs were all clustered around him, flames of courage and glory bursting out of his thirty-six thousand pores. A battle roar that could shake mountains and shatter magic erupted from his rapidly heaving chest. He waved his arms that were made of iron and bronze, and the weapons that were surrounded by flames of war were turned into storms of death until the corpses of his allies and enemies piled up into mountains. The blood sea was dried up, and the mountains of corpses were burned into ashes. The black clouds that were formed by the ashes were blown into pieces. Until the last bone was broken and the last drop of blood was drained. Until the last wisp of soul was swallowed by the raging waves of the holy light, no one took even half a step back.

As for the reinforcements from the nine great corporations, they watched coldly from a safe distance. Some of them took advantage of the time when Meng Chao was busy with the enemy’s main force to expand their territory and gain benefits to build their own independent kingdom.

!!
He seemed to see himself, who was covered in wounds and blood, rushing into the Survival Committee in anger and lunging at the representatives from the nine major families as soon as he returned from the frontline.

However, the members of parliament, who were flushed, had a big belly, and an extraordinary bearing. First, they held him up high with smiles on their faces. Then, they complained and found all kinds of objective reasons for their timidity. Finally, they promised him sincerely and humbly in tears that there would be no next time.

His anger seemed to have sunk deep into a wall made of air. It was invisible and untouchable, but it existed and could not be penetrated.

He was shocked and furious when he realized that unless he tore apart the rules of the game, flipped the table, and physically destroyed those guys with violence, he would not be able to compete with those two-faced, cunning, and colluding fellows within the scope of the law.

He seemed to see young and vigorous people like Gu Shaoyu in his own interest group waving their iron fists more than once and shouting in front of him. They wanted to make the selfish and ungrateful people from the nine noble families pay the price. They wanted to use iron and blood to establish Meng Chao’s supreme command over Dragon City civilization.

However, because this future Meng Chao knew in advance about the consequences of his autocracy and wanton killing in the previous future, he was caught in a dilemma. He was indecisive, and he missed a few opportunities to completely eradicate the nine great families.

After all, the nine great families had ruled Dragon City for half a century.

They were like trees whose roots had been deeply rooted dozens of meters underground. Even though the surface of the ground had been severely damaged time and time again, they were still alive.

However, as long as they were given a little bit of sunlight, air, and time, they could recover their vitality quietly and become even worse.

The future Meng Chao did not take advantage of the chaos in the Blood Alliance, which caused the nine great families to be at their lowest point, to kick them while they were down and eliminate them by the roots.

He also didn’t have a quick and decisive “total solution” to the nine great families when the war in the Other World had just broken out and the Chaos army led by him had achieved consecutive victories against the Holy Light faction. His reputation was at its peak, and most of the Dragon City citizens and Chaos allies were obedient to him. Even many people in the nine great families secretly surrendered to him.

Instead, they believed the higher-ups of the nine great families’ flowery words of “sincere unity and intimacy” and allowed the nine great families to develop and grow again.

By the time the nine great families showed signs of being too powerful to be defeated and revealed their true colors of placing their family’s interests above the overall interests of the entire civilization, it was already too late for Meng Chao to check them.

Even though Meng Chao was still the supreme leader of the Chaos faction, he was also the new Battle God of the Dragon City civilization. His combat ability was above the Deity Realm warriors of the wealthy clans.

However, the nine great families combined also had the capital to fight him to the death.

How could he pay an extremely painful price to solve the hidden danger within the Dragon City civilization when the enemy was in front of him and many of his allies might not be reliable?

As a result, the supreme leader and the new generation of Battle Gods had galloped on the outside battlefield and killed everywhere, exchanging countless scars for immeasurable merits.

There were a few times when they had to shoulder the responsibility of the setbacks at the front line, and the authority in their hands was reduced again and again.

In fact, because the battle was too intense and he was heavily injured, he had no choice but to enter seclusion to recuperate. He was taken advantage of by others and his power fell to others.

“Teacher, I’ve been holding these words in my heart for a very long time. Even if it’s disgraceful, I have to say it today!”

When Gu Shaoyu saw Meng Chao’s conflicted expression as if he was lost in his memories, his face turned red. He could not help but say,” When you were at your peak, you had unrivaled martial strength. You were invincible, just like the war general, Xiang Yu, from Earth, but your soft-heartedness was not inferior to Overlord Chu’s!”

“I know that you cherish your feathers and are indifferent to fame and fortune. You have the most noble sentiments. You are not willing to break the bottom line of the law, nor do you have the heart to let your saber be stained with the blood of your compatriots. Neither do you want to be called a loner or even a tyrant.

“But-but do you understand that the biggest problem with the Dragon City civilization today is the lack of a tyrant? A tyrant who can turn the tide, deter the villains, and lead all the people to charge toward the final victory at all costs!

“You clearly possess the ability to make such a move. You clearly have countless times to control the universe, change all the opportunities, but you are all for your so-called reputation, turn a blind eye, indifferent, so that today’s Dragon City civilization and Chaos faction are made into this by those shameless villains!

“I-I sometimes really don’t know whether you are a hero who saves civilization or a sinner who destroys civilization!”

His words were a little too harsh.

Obviously, in Gu Shaoyu’s view, the stakes were already high. It was time to try anything.
Meng Chao’s body trembled, and his face was ashen.

“Has the situation reached an irreparable state?”

His voice was hoarse. It sounded like he was asking Gu Shaoyu, but it also sounded like he was mumbling to himself.
