The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 678

Chapter 678: 678

Chapter 678 Hail Feidin!

The disbanding of the Six Nations’ governments was quick .

Han Xiao’s strength, power, and prestige were all higher than the Six Nations’ . Despite being unwilling, the government officials of the Six Nations had no chance to fight back . In the face of overwhelming strength, they realized that if Black Star wanted to take over the entire Planet Aquamarine, it would be a piece of cake, yet he had waited till then to do so .

In the past, Bennett would not have agreed to the plan . However, after this incident, he was willing to take on greater responsibility . In his eyes, the future of the entire civilization was more important; the Six Nations were way too unreliable .

Peaceful means were used to disband the Six Nations . Neither Han Xiao nor Bennett wanted another war to break out on Planet Aquamarine . The bloody example of the Old Era was right in front of them, so Han Xiao’s target was only the governments of the Six Nations .

To replace them from top to bottom .

The upper echelons of the Six Nations were arrested, and Bennett’s people were placed into the governments . The other government officials at all levels were greatly alarmed, but there was little resistance . The declaration of war from the Six Nations had not only caused them to lose the support of the people, but they had also lost the loyalty of many lower-level officials . The government was not completely united, and every official had their own independent ideas . Throughout Planet Aquamarine, Han Xiao’s reputation was more useful than the Six Nations’; he was widely respected .

Bennett got rid of some of the high-ranking officials while retaining the vast majority of the middle and lower ranked officials . The Six Nations were vast—these people were required to manage them . Furthermore, a pyramid-shaped power structure would falter when the bottom level was taken away . It was not suitable to immediately replace the original political structure, or it would cause chaos .

After all, most middle- and low-level officials were simply trying to earn a living . As long as they were not invaded by foreign enemies, they did not mind their wages being paid by another group of people .

Even the upper echelons were not united . Some of them were willing to work for Bennett’s new government, including Gu Hui . He was utterly disappointed in his original government . Seeing Han Xiao taking over the Six Nations, he briefly struggled between patriotism and racial justice, and in the end, the latter prevailed .

Things could not be changed anymore; staying there and contributing to the entire civilization was his best choice . Gu Hui knew that letting Han Xiao lead Planet Aquamarine might be a much better choice .

After all the dust settled, only then did Han Xiao announce this to all the civilians . Unsurprisingly, this message sent the Six Nations’ people into an uproar .

Although many people were dissatisfied with the declaration of war by the Six Nations, they did not think that their government would disappear in such a short period of time .

Countless people were worried sick that this might be the start of another era filled with chaos . However, after some time, they realized that their lives did not change much at all . The original territories of the Six Nations became six special zones where most of the original laws were retained . Bennett knew that this had to be done slowly so that the civilians could gradually adjust to the new government .

Reality was not a fairy tale; even though Han Xiao’s image was like a savior on Planet Aquamarine, there were still passionate patriotic protests as every government knew how to cultivate strong supporters . There were also those with ulterior motives who acted on the opportunity . Such backlash was inevitable during the unification of a civilization . Most people remained silent .

After all, the Six Nations had launched missiles at Black Star City first, so they were not in a position to complain .

For most people, as long as their lives remained unchanged, they would not do anything about the change of government . The people of Planet Aquamarine had experienced countless wars and disasters, so they cherished the stability of their lives . Furthermore, many were the survivors of dead nations from the Old Era and wanderers, not fully loyal to the Six Nations and having more understanding of the situation . This was also one of the reasons that Han Xiao had been confident in doing

this .

Since the interstellar era, most stereotypes had shattered . The lines of the nationality were blurred for most people, replaced by the mindset based on the entire race . The importance of the nations depended on what it was compared with, and it was clearly not comparable to the continuation of the entire race . Hence, most people did not oppose Bennett’s new government . Furthermore, Black Star was behind Bennett, who was way more reliable than the Six Nations .

The entire civilization was united, and Bennett finally decided on the name of the new government-Aquamarine Federation .

Naming the government after the planet was easier for the people to accept . Han Xiao, though aware of the meaning of the name, still felt that it was weird .

Aquamarine Federation? Why does that sound like a retail store?

However, no matter what the name of the Planet Aquamarine government was, it was still his logistics base .

The situation was basically finalized .

The takeover of the Six Nations brought a lot of follow-up problems, so Bennett and others were terribly busy . Han Xiao estimated that it would take a few years for things to be fully organized . Planet Aquamarine also needed some time to get through the painful period . The benefits of a unified civilization would gradually become apparent over time .

After the incident was resolved, Han Xiao did not stay any longer . He took Stephanie and returned to Base No . 1 on Planet Golden Gate .

The battle with the Vanguard Officials a month ago had brought a lot of fame to Han Xiao-nearly everyone knew about it . This time, the news of Black Star killing several Calamity Grades one after another once again shocked the entire Star Field .

The Purple Crystal Civilization did not conceal this incident . They believed Han Xiao’s statement that Stephanie and the others were assassins sent by Klent . They vigorously promoted the fact that Klent’s assassination had failed, which boosted their people’s morale and weakened the negative impact of the losses in the secret war .

The Klent Civilization was utterly confused .

We do want to kill Black Star, but we haven’t done anything yet . When did we send assassins?

It must be another Star Cluster that sent people to kill Black Star, since they can blame it all on us!

Klent was furious .

Do these people think we are the scapegoat king?

Although the two sides were at war, Klent was not willing to take responsibility for a failure that they did not commit . They publicly announced that it was entirely fabricated .

Purple Crystal’s reply was very simple . I’m not listening! I’m not listening! I’m certain it’s you!

The partners of the two sides were at war, and their governments were accusing each other . The various organizations of the Shattered Star Ring were all watching the drama between Purple Crystal and Klent .

Han Xiao, who had caused this incident, also received a lot of attention .

The fact that Black Star had finally mastered psionic energy had made many organizations take him even more seriously . This meant that Black Star was much more threatening!

Killing many Calamity Grades matched up to his Beyond Grade A seed title, and this kind of lethality was more threatening than just being tanky . In a short period, Han Xiao’s reputation and position in the entire Star Field rocketed once again .

The other Star Cluster civilizations, while shocked, secretly lifted Han Xiao’s position on the Beyond Grade A seed list up a few places .

Han Xiao had already felt the influence of this incident on his way to Base No . 1

-everyone recognized his face . When he returned to the base, he also noticed that many mercenaries looked at him with even more admiration .

This trip back to Planet Aquamarine had taken about twenty days, so he had ten more days of holiday .

After returning to the base, Han Xiao first inspected the operations of the Black Star Army during this period . Tens of thousands of trainees from various training camps had become official mercenaries, and about a hundred battleships had been added .

My mechanical army is quite damaged . I can use these ten days to replenish it .

He had to return to the battlefield after the holiday, so he decided to build his army with the remaining time he had . Before that, he wanted to first claim the reward for the third round of (Prey) .

Feidin had not gone out recently . Han Xiao found him, chatted with him awhile, and touched him a few times before letting go of Feidin, who had a strange expression on his face .

Chen Xing, who happened to be out, was blushing a bit . She quickly returned control of the body to Feidin .

As Feidin became stronger, he was able to suppress Chen Xing alone . Plus, his relationship with Chen Xing was getting more affectionate, so he occasionally let her out for a break, which Han Xiao happened to bump into .

Although the soul was different, the body was the same .

As the luck on his hand was lingering, Han Xiao rushed to the side and opened the interface to claim the reward for the third round .

Round Three complete .

Please select the target to draw abilities from…

There were ten enemies, but Han Xiao was only interested in the abilities of two of them-Stephanie and that Mechanic .

If he selected that Mechanic, there was a very high chance of him getting a Mechanic talent, so that would be a safe choice .

If he selected Stephanie, unlike from Shana, her Esper ability was not compatible with him at all, so the effect of the abilities would definitely be weakened . The best result would be getting a Template Talent, but that depended purely on his luck .

After considering for a few seconds, Han Xiao’s eyes became firm; he had made his decision .

A Mechanic talent is great, but Molding Talents are hard to come by!

A man must dare to dream!
