This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 860

[ … words ]

Brother didn’t dare to delay and began speaking:

“In the interstellar space, there is a terrorist organization known as the Holy Revolution Army that wreaks havoc in various civilizations under the banner of revolution, causing significant harm to many civilizations.” Brother finished his preamble and then said:

“The second proposal is whether to conduct a large-scale cleansing operation against the Holy Revolution Army.”

As Brother’s voice fell, a low murmur rose. The Supervisors sitting nearby all appeared a bit surprised, evidently unaware of the matter.

Among the ten people present, except for Gust, the expressions of the others had slight changes.

Adam, you’re indeed something.

After the establishment of the High-level Life Form Union, the first thing on the agenda is to get rid of the thorn in the side, the Holy Revolution Army.

Although Li Ming was caught off guard, he was not surprised. In the short term, no additional personnel will be recruited, and no Council Seat members will be replaced within five years.

During this time, even if the High-level Life Form Union has its own minor calculations, the benefits that follow are bound to let Adam have his fill.

“Everyone, you may begin voting now.” Brother said in a low voice.

The ten of them remained silent without any action. He wanted to speak but refrained, not daring to urge.

Gusta spoke in an indifferent tone, “Does the meeting host have the right to propose as well?”

Brother was stunned, his face suddenly turning pale, his voice stammering, “This… this…”

Why is it different from what was agreed upon?

Li Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, this Gust was indeed interesting.

If the first proposal was to show an attitude, now there seems to be an intention to rival.

“Do not make such mistakes next time.” Gust said faintly, seeming just to give a slight warning, “Now we can proceed with voting, I agree with the cleansing of the Holy Revolution Army.”

“I disagree.” Anatoli shook his head with a smile, “Whether it’s a terrorist organization is not defined by the Empire.”

“I agree.” Perkins said in a deep voice, seemingly holding a grudge against the Holy Revolution Army, “Those guys should have been eliminated long ago.”

This second proposal has already caused division, as the Holy Revolution Army is widespread, and has connections with many high-level life forms in the interstellar space.

“I agree…”

“I agree…”

Voices continued to sound, and of the remaining seven people, five voted in favor, reaching a total of ten votes.

Only Li Ming and Anduin did not express their stance, but their stance was irrelevant as the votes were already sufficient.

This was the first task that had to be advanced after the establishment of the High-level Life Form Union, equivalent to a battle to establish authority.

“With more than ten votes, those of us who voted in favor will take relevant actions, and those who did not express or refused should cooperate and not obstruct.” Gust’s tone remained calm:

“Among everyone here, there are new friends and old friends, and you will work together for a long time, hopefully always.”

The other nine people remained silent as Gust continued to speak, “Does anyone else have new proposals? If not, the meeting can conclude.”

Brother’s throat moved, just about to announce the meeting’s conclusion when a calm voice rang out, “I have…”

Suddenly, all eyes turned to look.

I… Brother held his breath, his heart in his throat.

What’s Azure Dragon up to now?

No one told him, and although it’s just a routine meeting, are they really going to decide on major interstellar events?

Li Ming’s expression remained calm, “It’s about the Mechanic Association. Now that interstellar space is in turmoil because of it, we should have the obligation to calm this matter.”

The expressions of everyone varied, all knowing that Azure Dragon is the Divine Craftsman and understanding the intent behind the proposal.

Yet, they all seemed to be in thought, realizing if Azure Dragon can seek benefits, so can they.

Damn, Brother’s heart was in a panic, forcing himself to speak, “Lord Azure Dragon, our proposals should all adhere to the principle of not interfering with other civilizations’ internal affairs.”

“The issue of the Mechanic Association is a matter for civilizations to investigate themselves, and we have no right to adjudicate.”

“However, cleansing the Holy Revolution Army seems like a matter of internal affairs too?” Anatoli drawled.

“It’s different…” Brother was sweating profusely, “The Holy Revolution Army is terrorism, and each civilization has a responsibility to cleanse it. The Interstellar Alliance even more so, bearing the duty to unite parties.”

It’s clearly double standards, but Anatoli did not speak up, nor did others express support.

In the matter of the Mechanic Association, not just major civilizations but others can also benefit.

“Never mind, I withdraw my proposal.” Li Ming said suddenly, as he had merely been testing the waters or perhaps just starting a conversation, already knowing the slim hope.

Brother almost spoke at the quickest speed, “Alright, alright, I announce that the first regular meeting of the High-level Life Form Union has ended successfully. I hope everyone doesn’t divulge the contents of this meeting!”

He had already seen Anatoli’s intention to speak.

This Dusk Hermit, with a faint smile on his face, looked at Brother and said calmly:

“What a pity, I wanted to discuss whether to establish an ordinary Evolved Body organization, accepting life forms of various evolutionary ranks…”

Brother didn’t dare lift his head, shivered, and made up his mind never to host such damned meetings again.

Many Supervisors murmured in their hearts, this first regular meeting was not as they imagined, seemingly more than just going through the motions.

As the meeting adjourned, the virtual projections around them gradually faded away.

The lights in the room brightened, and Li Ming sat in his seat, his intelligent terminal buzzing with messages, dragged into various group chats.

The template for the cleansing plan of the Holy Revolution Army had already been set into motion, clearly prepared in advance, initially making appeals from an official level.
