Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 130 Counter-Deterrence!

Luo Xi knew that roses and lilies had a strong sense of destiny.

Rose and lily can pinpoint the location of ordinary people on a list with just one list of ordinary people.

Furthermore, their actions can be used to deduce the possibilities of certain events.

Therefore, she proposed the idea of ​​creating a life signal causal warning device, which is the witch's version of the Soul Lamp Life Card!

However, witches possess extraordinary powers, and Luo Xi didn't know how much this request would consume Rose. So, Luo Xi spoke directly, her voice devoid of emotion, "There's no rush to make the life signal causal alarm device. Now, I'll talk about the last thing, the matter of our enemy, which is the matter of the Witch Council's headquarters."

Rose and Lily listened attentively, after all, the Witch Council had always wanted to negotiate with them, and it was she who passed on this information to Luo Xi.

"Based on the division of continental plates, there are a total of thirteen Witch Council headquarters worldwide. It is the official organization of this world, and behind it should be the thirteen highest rulers of this world."

Luo Xi looked at everyone and said in a calm tone, "They have the ability to launch nuclear strikes and deterrence, they have research on witches and anomalies, they are suspected of having immature or even mature supernatural application technology, they have anomalies with unknown functions, and they are supported by some witches who lack judgment. In addition, there are many factions in the council, such as the purge faction, the research faction, the supervision faction, etc."

"But none of that matters. What matters is that they are now our enemies, enemies to the death!" Luo Xi stood up, her movements decisive, her eyes icy.

"Let me first talk about the evil deeds of the Witch Council. They have a supreme directive regarding witches: never use any force or coercion against them."

"But in reality, their attitude towards witches, and all their actions against witches, are either coercion and enticement, or a combination of soft and hard tactics."

"From the moment I transformed into a witch and embarked on the path of the extraordinary, I first faced attacks from modern military forces led by the Witch Council, and then, while dealing with anomalous events, I experienced strikes from array nuclear landmines and bunker-buster nuclear missiles..."

"The Witch Council's headquarters truly intends to kill us," Luo Xi said, her gaze sweeping over the witches, her tone remaining calm. "As for the ordinary people..."

"Leaving aside the nature of the world's regimes and the merits or demerits of their systems, their arbitrary use of nuclear strikes only demonstrates that they completely disregard ordinary people and all life."

She paused briefly, then continued calmly, "This was also my mistake. When the Witch Council first began to use force against us, I should have resisted with force regardless of the cost, instead of negotiating with them..."

"Secondly, even after the nuclear attack, we only destroyed two Witch Council branches as a warning."

"After the nuclear strike, we went to help ordinary people and clean up the mess for the Witch Council. This made the Witch Council think that we cared about ordinary people and that we didn't pose a significant threat, leading to our current passive situation..."

Luo Xi looked at the group of witches and bowed deeply. "For this, I apologize to everyone present."

"I now have a way to make amends," Luo Xi said, straightening up after apologizing, and then outlining her plan.

"The reason why the Witch Council is confident enough to negotiate with us is simply because it has tied all of humanity to this ship. As long as we cleanse them and take military action, they will threaten us with an indiscriminate nuclear strike against the entire population."

"They want to use the big picture and the greater good to hold us hostage. If we don't give them a way out, they'll drag everyone down with them."

"The key to our success lies in the fact that the Witch Council always believes that we care about ordinary people and will compromise for the sake of the majority."

"Therefore, I want to change the Witch Council's overall view," Luo Xi said, revealing a cold smile.

"There are over 16 billion people on this planet. I propose that we randomly eliminate 1.6 billion of them. This would render the Witch Council's moral blackmail ineffective." Luo Xi's voice fell steadily, but the entire conference room suddenly fell silent.

Such resolute words came from Luo Xi's mouth. Le Tong and Bai Nuo were alright, but her younger sister Luo Xin, Qiangwei, and Baihe were horrified and stood up abruptly.

"We have no right to decide the life or death of ordinary people, even if we use random methods!" Luo Xin shouted excitedly, slamming his hand heavily on the table.

Rose pursed her lips tightly, her eyes darting around. She recalled her previous sparring session with Luo Xin, during which he spoke of treating all living beings and himself as straw dogs. It turned out that he was just bragging.

It looks like she's going to win the bet.

"Rose, let's use our Fate Perception to perform a simulation calculation," Luo Xi suggested calmly, seemingly oblivious to the excitement of the witches.

"First, we will directly target and eliminate the Witch Council."

You previously stated that because we lack global strike capabilities, while we systematically eliminate the Witch Councils or nuclear bases, any Witch Councils we haven't yet eliminated will inevitably launch a nuclear strike. If even one of these Witch Councils launches a nuclear strike, a global nuclear attack is inevitable.

Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Qiangwei and said, "Calculate how many people will die under these conditions because of our war with the Witch Council."

"The main issue is the global nuclear strike by the Witch Council headquarters; the death toll will be over 90%! But that's not the worst part. It's not about how many people die!" Rose's voice involuntarily rose, trembling noticeably. "The most important thing is the aftermath of the nuclear strike, such as nuclear winter, which could lead to the sixth mass extinction!"

Luo Xi glanced indifferently at the excited witches and continued, "Then, using my previous plan, if we first eliminate one-tenth of the population, regardless of good or evil, gender, or age, and then purge the Witch Council headquarters, how many people will die?"

Rose's chest heaved, unable to speak. After a long silence, Lily finally spoke with difficulty: "In the process of eliminating one-tenth of the population, we will stand against everyone. Some neutral witches will also unite with the Witch Council to deal with us, and the success rate is only 50%, but..."

"The Witch Council will never launch another nuclear strike. They will only unite with ordinary people and neutral witches to deal with us! We, the World-Breaking Group, will stand completely against this world!" Lily became more and more agitated as she spoke, her face turning slightly red.

"I mean, if the second plan succeeds, how many people will likely die?" Luo Xi asked calmly, ignoring Baihe's excitement.

"About... two billion people." Before Lily could recover from her excitement, Rose took a deep breath, her voice trembling, and replied with difficulty.

"This proves that my plan is feasible. After the war, only one-eighth of the population died," Luo Xi said calmly, satisfied. "One-eighth versus the life and death of all mankind, it's a very easy choice."

"Rose, my partner, my friend; Luo Xin, my sister, my family." Luo Xi's gaze swept over the still-excited Rose and Lily, finally landing on Luo Xin, whose fists were clenched. "Now, tell me your opinions."

As for Yue Tong and Bai Nuo, the two novice witches had no strategic significance and seemed uninterested in the fate of all mankind, so Luo Xi didn't even ask for their opinions.

"Tell me your opinions. If you disagree, state your reasons for stopping me from doing this." Luo Xi looked silently at the witches.

"I disagree!" Luo Xin slammed her hand on the table again, her voice sharp with emotion.

"I also object!" Rose and Lily spoke almost simultaneously, their voices resolute, tinged with lingering shock and anger.
