"Is everything you said true?"
After hearing Adam's narration, Rossiu's face was covered in cold sweat; he was terrified.
He had long known that the Spiral King would not speak carelessly; when the human population reached one million, a crisis threatening all of humanity would surely occur.
However, he never expected the crisis to be so terrifying, so terrifying that he couldn't see a glimmer of hope.
"I don't believe what you said. Who exactly are you?"
Rossiu looked at Adam again, his tone somewhat hysterical.
If the truth was really like that, then humanity would have no future at all, so he would rather not believe it was true, not believe what Adam said.
Perhaps, Adam was just a babbling liar.
He knew humanity would face a crisis, but it had to be a crisis they could fight against, a crisis he had been diligently planning for years to resist, not this kind of utterly hopeless and irresistible crisis.
If it were truly like that, wouldn't everything he had done become a joke?
"Rossiu, calm down!"
At this moment, Simon stood up and patted Rossiu on the shoulder.
"Even if it's true, so what? Are we going to surrender? We must believe in our Dai-Gurren Brigade.
Don't forget, our drill can pierce through the heavens!"
Hearing Simon's confident and firm words, Rossiu's emotions finally stabilized considerably.
The words of this unknown person named Adam still needed to be verified; there was no need to panic first. Perhaps all of this was nonsense; there was no such thing as the Anti-Spiral or the Human Annihilation System.
"Don't believe it? You used the Spiral King's head to make a biological computer. If you don't believe it, you should be able to verify it tonight."
Adam instantly saw through Rossiu's thoughts, then said with a smile.
Battles depended on Simon, but governing a city still depended on Rossiu. To develop a city from ruins to such prosperity in seven years, Rossiu's contributions were indispensable.
Of course, this guy was sometimes too rational, resorting to any means to achieve his goals, and still needed a good talking-to.
In the original story, to quell public anger, Rossiu directly used Simon, humanity's strongest fighter, as a scapegoat, planning to use Simon's death to maintain the new government's position among humans, completely disregarding their past friendship.
Later, after learning about the enemy's strength, he abandoned most of humanity, taking a small portion of human elites to escape Earth.
He wasn't selfish; he wasn't afraid of death. He genuinely made what he considered the most rational decision for the overall benefit of humanity, but his escapism was too severe, and he was also somewhat dictatorial.
"How do you know that!"
Hearing Adam's words, Rossiu's heart instantly tensed, and Simon also looked at Rossiu with some confusion.
"Rossiu, using the Spiral King's head as a biological computer, why don't I know about this?"
"Simon, now is not the time to discuss this. First, arrest him. We'll know if what he says is true tonight."
Rossiu didn't explain but ordered the guards to immediately arrest Adam.
Adam raised his hand and lightly pointed forward; as magic was cast, all the guards were instantly frozen in place.
"Never mind, it'll be too late by tonight. I'll just take you to see for yourselves."
When the biological computer made from the Spiral King's head was completed tonight, it would also be when the human population reached one million. At that time, the Human Annihilation Plan would officially begin, and there would be no time to prepare.
Appearing instantly beside Rossiu and Simon, Adam took the two and vanished from where they stood.
"This is space!"
Enveloped by an energy shield, Rossiu and Simon looked at the Blue Planet below and immediately realized they had been taken into space.
"To be able to survive in space without a Gunmen."
The two were incredibly astonished by their current state.
After seven years of research, Earth's technology was already very advanced, especially in mechs, but its space technology was not yet mature.
Even for the sake of verifying what the Spiral King had said, they specifically researched space technology and had only just created a spaceship capable of ascending to the Moon for exploration.
According to the schedule, it was supposed to launch today.
"Do you want to see the true face of the Moon?"
Adam pointed to the Moon orbiting Earth in front of them.
"The true face of the Moon?"
Rossiu and Simon hadn't yet recovered from their current situation when Adam's words bewildered them again.
Without waiting for their answer, Adam clapped his hands together:
"Chibaku Tensei!"
Powerful gravity rapidly gathered the space debris, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a celestial body not much smaller than the Moon, then crashed into the Moon at high speed.
"What are you doing?"
Watching Adam create a Planet with a raised hand, Rossiu and Simon's eyes instantly widened, and seeing Adam direct that Planet to collide with the Moon also startled them greatly.
If the Moon were destroyed, it would have no small impact on Earth.
Moreover, if the debris from the collision fell onto Earth, then Earth would face a huge disaster.
"Don't worry, look!"
Adam didn't care at all as he raised his hand and pointed at the Moon.
The two looked at the Moon again, and their faces instantly showed disbelief.
"How can there be such a huge Gunmen?"
It turned out that just as the Planet Adam had condensed was about to collide with the Moon, the Moon discarded its disguise and instantly transformed into a super-gigantic mech, punching the Planet Adam had gathered away, then instantly disguised itself as the Moon again.
"That Gunmen was once the guardian of Earth, the strongest Gunmen created by the Spiral Being, the Cathedral Terra. It was later captured by the Anti-Spiral and became the ultimate weapon for punishing Earthlings.
So don't think that escaping Earth will allow you to hide from the Anti-Spiral, because it's simply impossible to escape."
Adam waved his hand again, having already teleported the two back to the New Government's Commander-in-Chief's office.
"Are we humans beyond saving?"
Rossiu slumped onto the ground. What a joke! A Gunmen as big as the Moon? All of humanity's Gunmen combined wouldn't be enough for it to hit with one punch.
"Or, we just need to reduce the number of humans. As long as the human population never exceeds one million, there will be no danger!"
At this moment, Rossiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had his own plan.
As long as humanity could survive, then sacrificing a part of it was worthwhile. Killing a portion of humanity and keeping the population under one million would allow humanity to live on.
"Rossiu, how can you think that way? If we do that, what's the difference between us and what the Spiral King did back then!"
Hearing Rossiu's murmuring, Simon immediately reprimanded him sternly:
"Listen carefully, Rossiu, believe me, and believe in yourself. As long as we work together, even the strongest enemy can be defeated. We cannot go down the same path as the Spiral King."
