Chapter 98: The Ambition of Maximus
Religion always wants to attribute the progress and struggle of this civilization to the vague and ethereal God, while public intellectuals always want to simply attribute this progress and morality to universal values and human innate rights.
But I didn't answer, since human rights are natural, why did humans have universal equal rights until now? In the past, feudal, primitive society, and even in the early days of capitalism, those human rights were eaten by dogs?
In fact, the answer is very simple. They all want people to forget the struggles, bloodshed and revolutions that have been paid for these rights.
The aliens at least breed their own subject nation, not slaves, so their screening and cultivation did not reach the level of being crazy as the Union of America. They decided on the marriage partner through genotypes, and decided on the "caste" through the genes after the awakening of Terigen crystal fog.
The one with the least genetic damage and the most potential of superpowers is assigned to the "royal family".
They were manually divided into different castes of alpha, beta, gamma to omega (i.e. royal family).
The lowest level is the Alpha Origin caste. After the awakening of Terrigen Mist, the one with the most severe gene destruction and the lowest potential for supernatural powers. Even if it was a royal family before the awakening, it would be assigned to this caste and lose most of its power, including freedom of marriage and part of its personal rights.
After long-term breeding, the royal genes of the alien race have reached the level of optimization, and their supernatural powers are also the most powerful. The lower-level alpha not only has weak supernatural powers but also has great sequelae, but also has deformities in the body. What's even more tragic is that most of them have genetic diseases, many people are psychologically distorted and perverted.
Maximus is the hope of these people. If the Black Bat King represents the interests of the royal family, elder class, and senior members of the alien race with strong abilities and noble blood, then Maximus represents the interests of the aliens of the lower castes and their political ambitions. This is the reason why Maximus clearly did not receive the support of the III leaders, but repeatedly usurped the throne and seized power.
The Black Bat King defeated Maximus for another hundred times to seize power, and his basic base will still support him.
Because Maximus is the only high caste with common interests with the lower class, he has a pure bloodline and excellent genes, but because of an accident, Terrigan's crystal fog awakened, he lost his ability. In the eyes of the caste with low supernatural powers, he could understand their encounters and stand on their side.
From this perspective, Maximus is not stupid. He knows that a politician's most wise power and those who support you always stand together. This is the reason why some seemingly stupid politicians are constantly falling. They look dizzy and greedy, but they can be hit repeatedly without falling.
It is because their foundation is solid, and Maximus knows what those lower castes need and what they need is not equality.
Pursuing equality not only violates the scientific breeding of the aliens’ survival, but will destroy the future of the aliens. There will be fewer and fewer aliens with powerful abilities. They will lose the trump card for survival in the universe. They will also offend the most powerful aliens. They will not turn against each other because Maximus exiled the Black Bat King, but they will definitely resist because Maximus abolished the caste system.
What those lower castes need is to become superiors and stand on the heads of others, even lower.
That is, they have had enough of being oppressed, hoping that there would be another person with a lower status than them to oppress, such as the untouchables in the Indian caste system.
So Maximus declared that he would not need to say anything more to conquer the earth. Those low castes would think that they could be human beings. They could stand on the heads of human beings, stool and urinate, do whatever they want, and become a conqueror. They are not the lowest, human beings are, they can live the life they dream of.
The weak swing the sword at the weaker!
The oppressed person vents his inner anger thousands of times on the weaker ones!
In the palace, Maximus followed what his followers wanted to hear the most and encouraged them: "The humans on Earth are very weak, they have no superpowers at all. Even the most clumsy alien can easily conquer them. Their government is composed of some mediocre people, all of whom are incompetent bureaucrats with big ears."
"Their technology is very backward. Everyone has seen that their most advanced aerospace technology is just putting a human in a thick bag (space suit) and sending it to the moon. Many of us have secretly seen the toys sent here by the most powerful country on the earth. They inserted the flag and I was peeing underneath!"
The crowd below burst into laughter, many of them red eyes and listened greedily to everything Maximus said.
"And these weak slaves are as many as 6 billion. Each of us can get hundreds of thousands of slaves, allowing them to produce everything for you and use the rich resources on the earth..."
"After conquering the earth, human beings will be the lowest caste. I call them untouchables... They will support you! You are soldiers and officials in our kingdom, and they are slaves!" Maximus shouted: "We have such rich resources and such a large population to conquer, but instead hide on this narrow and barren moon. Do you think this is the right thing? Our people? Whose fault do you say this is?"
Someone among the strangely shaped low-caste aliens below raised his arms and whispered: "The Black Bat King's fault! He only knows how to oppress us, but he is so weak that he dare not conquer the earth!"
The strange people below were boiling: "Black Bat King! It's all the fault of the Black Bat King!"
"Fortunately we overthrew the Black Bat King... Otherwise, he would have been so cowardly that he would not dare to conquer the earth!"
The royal family sitting on the stage changed their faces. They looked at the excited and low-caste aliens below, and they were also a little afraid. They finally realized how intense the contradictions within the alien race had evolved to a point. They were like the upper-class figures on Earth, and began to fear the possible revolution.
But they also know that history has nothing to do with the Black Bat King. As early as before the Black Bat King was born, Yi Ren was forced to move to the moon.
Of course they were not voluntarily. Compared to the earth, the moon is too barren!
When he was on Earth, Yiren also wanted to conquer the earth... It is obvious that humans on Earth are not lambs that can be slaughtered. They were beaten by the people on Earth and ran to the moon. The Black Bat King has been restraining Maximus over the years and does not want him to seek death.
Even Maximus knew this very well. What he said was, but what he really thought was to take advantage of the opportunity of civil strife on earth to occupy a small country with a population of hundreds of thousands to satisfy the interests of his supporters. He claimed that Yi Ren still had the power to occupy a small country. At that time, the resources of that small country could easily satisfy the appetite of Yi Ren, whose population was less than ten thousand.
