Chapter 281: Dune! The Legend of the Savior! The Divine Emperor!

"dune"!
When he saw that the newly opened copy was actually Dune, Leon was stunned for a moment, just like when he saw the "Halo" copy before, because this was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

According to Li Ang's estimation, the next copy should be a science fiction universe similar to "Star Wars", or a creation game in "The Three-Body Problem".

Or you can go to the Transformers and pick yourself a Bumblebee luxury car to drive.

But if it is the "Dune" universe, then Leon will still need to put in some thought and be busy for a while.

The good news is that the difficulty of the "Dune" copy is actually not that high. At least in terms of paper strength, it is definitely much weaker than the Covenant in the "Halo" universe.

If we take over the Dune universe in a brutal and sweeping manner, it will basically be a piece of cake.

But the bad news is that it might be a bit troublesome to integrate the universe with the existing system of the world's giant companies.

Because the human system in "Dune" is different from the systems in other universes. Other universes are basically the Earth government and the United Government, but "Dune" is a feudal system + religious system!

In the eyes of the powerful and the common people over there, only the legendary "savior" and "God-Emperor" can become the ruler of mankind and lead mankind to a better future.

Obviously, in the human worldview of "Dune", it is better to believe in destiny than to believe in oneself, and to believe in a real person of destiny who can carry them.

This means that if Leon wants to unify the Dune universe, he must become the only "God-Emperor + Savior + Designated Person".

Now, even if he doesn't want to be an emperor, he has to prepare himself to be the emperor of mankind, otherwise people will not believe in the world giant company!
"Tsk... this really hurts me."

Leon shook his head and sighed. Originally, he just wanted to coexist with the humans in the Dune universe as an executive, but seeing the current situation, he had to become the emperor.

After all, if the entry point of the "Halo" universe is to inherit the orthodox identity of the "Recycler", then the entry point of the "Dune" universe is the orthodox identity of the "Savior".

Thinking of this, Leon closed the system panel and walked alone to the floor-to-ceiling window on the upper floor of the headquarters, overlooking the entire picture of Night City. He began to recall the story in "Dune".

Speaking of the story of "Dune", it seems very long and distant at first glance, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, the core content and plot are just that.

Even a little bit "poor".

The Roman Caesar + a bunch of noble ladies running around with each other, accompanied by some weird savior legends, and a hodgepodge of stories about the emperor's persecution and rebellion.

The opening of the "Dune" universe is the same as the classic development of human technology into the interstellar age. When children grow up, they need to live outside, and when there are more humans, they need to go out to establish colonies.

But just as humans in "Dune" were developing into the interstellar age, a very unpleasant thing happened: the AI ​​rebellion!

This AI rebellion has left a psychological trauma on the Dune humans. Based on the principle that if you want to avoid trouble, you have to solve the source of the trouble, so they made a very premature decision.

That is to abandon AI technology and develop another set of "computer technology"!
In this way, humans in "Dune" embarked on a distorted technology tree path.

They used the "spice" they found on the planet Arrakis to build a group of "humanoid computers" specifically to replace AI and computers.

That’s right, in order to avoid being backstabbed by AI, the humans in the Halo universe chose to make themselves “computers”. Although this train of thought is a bit novel, it’s really true…

They got this done!

This group of humanoid computer people has an organization called "Mentat". These Mentat have powerful mental abilities, computing abilities, and logical reasoning abilities, and are truly humanoid AIs.

Of course, they occasionally do part-time assassination work, after all, it is always good to have many skills.

However, to create humanoid AIs like Mentate, you need something like spices.

In the Dune universe, this spice is only produced on Arrakis and nowhere else. It is the only one of its kind in the entire universe.

The benefits of spices are numerous, including enhancing human perception, developing superpowers, and prolonging life. In short, they are good in every way and are simply the raw materials for panaceas that are essential for those who practice Taoism.

Such a good thing will naturally be divided, occupied and monopolized by the powerful families of mankind.

Perhaps it is precisely because there is no AI or computers that the lower-level humans in the Dune universe still rely on primitive "hearsay" to obtain information, and live like people in the Middle Ages.

They also believe in bizarre legends such as the savior.

And it was in such a background that Paul, who was born into an Atreides aristocratic family, became the leading male character at the beginning of "Dune".

Paul's father is a local lord and his mother is a leader in a famous socialite organization called the sorority. Naturally, Paul is handsome and capable.

Speaking of this sisterhood, the ultimate purpose of this organization is only one, and that is to create humans.

Yes, it literally means creating human beings!

This group of socialites engage in paid dating and arranged marriages with powerful families in order to combine their bloodlines and create a "savior".

This savior is not only the king of prophecy and has the ability to predict the future, but also has an extremely high IQ. He is an awesome character with invincible luck wherever he goes. His name is also quite domineering, called - Kwisatz Haderak.

Although it is not known why the socialites in the sisterhood think they can give birth to the King of Prophecy, this does not affect their day-to-day "door-to-door" and high-quality service.

In short, Paul was born thanks to the efforts of his mother, Mrs. Jessica.

But it's true that the sorority members who have received special training are different. Not only are they fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs, they are also quite scheming and resourceful, and have high IQ and EQ.

The male protagonist Paul, who has excellent genes, not only has a series of bonuses such as blood buffs and status buffs, but also has a handsome face.

The image of the savior must not be bad, so the handsome Paul was also rumored to be the "savior", and the rumor that he looked like a king spread quietly.

Although he didn't know who was manipulating the public opinion, Emperor Saddam was shocked when he saw Paul's family, which was powerful and wealthy, and the rumors that he was destined to be king.

This tremendous power was so great that it almost kicked him off his position as emperor, so Saddam made a plan and instigated the Harkonnen family to destroy the Atreides family.

The Harkonnen family, who had already been unhappy with the Atreides family, immediately jumped up and became the black gloves when they heard about this good opportunity.

As a result, due to their lack of business skills, Paul and his mother, Mrs. Jessica, escaped deep into the sand dunes.

As the saying goes, if you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Later, Paul relied on his identity as a savior to build up a powerful force and defeated the big bad Emperor Saddam.

When Leon recalled this, the plot of the Dune universe seemed to be a very ordinary savior script, with a bit of clichéd rebellion story about bloodline theory. But as his memory deepened, Leon recalled more relevant information. After all, the plot line of Dune is quite long, and the subsequent plot is even more amazing.

After overthrowing Emperor Saddam, Paul became the new emperor of the Galactic Empire.

But the powerful families below did not agree.

Where did this little brat come from? Killing the king is fine, but he actually wants to usurp the throne and become the emperor? Did he ask for our opinions? If you can become the emperor just because you are handsome, then what is the use of the army!
It is obvious that no matter which parallel universe the human dignitaries are from, they do not believe in such things as "savior" or "son of destiny".

He who has the strongest army and the most powerful horses is the king!
When faced with Paul's "savior" bloodline as a reason to become emperor, most of the powerful families actually just treated it as a fun thing.

Who said that those bitches in the sisterhood can give birth to the "savior" or "king of prophecy"? It's fine if they use that propaganda trick to deceive ordinary people, but they really want to use such a childish trick to fool us? No way!
Oh! BYD, your mother, Lady Jessica, has diamonds on her body, and she gave birth to a precious creature like you. You can be an emperor when you are born, but we are just mortals, right?

You shameless bastard, I’ll kill you!
Thus, a massive galactic holy war began. This war was so shocking that billions of people died and hundreds of planets were destroyed.

At this time, Paul, who had awakened his predictive ability, was still quite confident in his identity as emperor, because through predicting the future, he saw that he was qualified to be emperor.

He is the one who should sit on the emperor's throne. If these untouchables are not convinced, then we'll fight them!

In this way, in order to legitimize his position and have absolute control, Paul ingeniously created an interstellar empire that combined politics and religion and was crowned as the Pope.

"This script...are you sure it's not from Caesar? You're just following Caesar's template, right?!"

When he thought of this, Li Ang couldn't help but complain in his heart. After so many years, those foreigners were still thinking about the former Roman Empire.

In short, Paul relied on tough means to unify the entire universe and became the only God-Emperor.

But after unifying the interstellar space, Paul saw through prophecy that he would be assassinated. For this outcome, a normal person would take precautions in advance to avoid being killed.

Paul did just that, but he soon discovered that these assassinations were endless. The daily defenses had left him with a psychological trauma.

Faced with this situation, the former Qin Shi Huang would have said it was a minor problem and that all that was needed was to strengthen the guards.

But Paul felt that this was his destiny, and destiny could not be changed, just as he became emperor according to the prophecy.

Obviously, this is the classic "self-realization" psychological suggestion.

During this period, the most incredible thing Paul did was to learn through prophecy that his wife would die while giving birth.

Faced with this situation, a normal person would either prepare for a difficult birth early on or not give birth at all.

But Paul chose to watch his wife die in childbirth. Faced with the choice of saving the older or the younger, he decided to save the younger.

The idea of ​​putting cause and effect that this predictive ability brought him also made people who came after him extremely devout and believe in prophecies.

This ability, which should have been used to bring good fortune and avoid disaster, has been turned into a useless and useless superpower.

Later, Paul got tired and passed the position to his sister Alia and his son Leto Atreides, and he himself went to the sand dunes to retire early.

However, Elijah was a strong woman with a strong desire for power. She was addicted to being emperor and wanted to continue to be emperor, so she wanted to kill her own nephew.

In response to Wu Zetian's unethical behavior, Leto ran into the sand dunes and merged with the sandworms inside, becoming a new generation of "God-Emperor" with full strength and wisdom!
At this time, the legendary savior prophesied turned out to be Paul II - Leto Atreides.

At this moment, Li Ang's brows were getting more and more furrowed. This kind of hindsight prediction was most likely a propaganda trick played by the sisterhood's charlatans.

By driving up the price of B to inlay gold on yourself, you can blend in with the powerful class and hold power. By marrying a girl from a sorority, you will have a chance to create a "savior"!

Just like that, Leto, with all the buffs, became an invincible God-Emperor like his father, embarked on the Golden Road, and unified the galaxy for three thousand years.

Of course, the story of Dune is not over yet.

Under the manipulation of the sisterhood, the mastermind behind the scenes, the legend of the savior continues. These women have come up with a trick to "take turns to be the emperor, and it will be my turn next year."

It is said that Leto has become a tyrant and a new generation of savior is coming!
At this time, Leto also saw through his so-called prophetic ability that he was about to be assassinated. Faced with this outcome, Leto, like his psychotic father, chose an extremely abstract approach -

That is to take the initiative to become a tyrant, forcing the rebels under him to come and stab him to death, ending his Divine Emperor Dynasty and starting a new beginning.

Thinking of this, Leon has deeply doubted whether the spice is a hallucinogen. After all, no normal person would come up with this solution when facing an assassination.

Perhaps the so-called prophetic ability is nothing more than a psychological suggestion used by those women in the sorority.

After all, looking at the entire story of "Dune", the group that benefits the most happens to be the socialites in the sorority!

And this is indeed the case.

Ever since Leto was assassinated, the melee has begun again, with one side taking the stage after another, and just when everyone is waiting for the legendary "savior" to appear.

But at this time, the sisters in the sisterhood simply stopped pretending. This time they didn't even give birth to a "savior" and directly pushed one out from within.

They introduced an Honored Matre Murbella and a new Savior Sheana. It doesn’t matter what the names of these two women are, what matters is that they are all members of the Sisterhood!

The two sisters weighed the pros and cons of all parties and appeased everyone, saying: "Everyone please stop making trouble. From now on there will be no great emperor. It would be great if we could have two people in charge."

In this way, the entire plot line of "Dune" has come to an end. This extremely abstract plot has already maxed out the buffs of various Western Madonnas.

"A bunch of old women relied on their ancestral flesh trade to disintegrate the galactic empire of the Emperor of God, and they also had two people in charge? This operation is invincible!"

After recalling the entire plot of "Dune", Li Ang's brows were furrowed. For a no-cost business to achieve this level is simply a textbook-level operation.

Relying on the trick of giving birth to a "savior", she fooled a group of powerful people into marrying the girls from the sororities one by one, waiting for them to give birth to a savior.

There’s something about this operation!
After calming down, putting aside these somewhat outrageous plot points, the technological elements in "Dune" are actually quite good.

For example, the Holtzman superluminal engine created by utilizing the interaction of subatomic particles, the humanoid computer Mentate organization, and various magical creatures.

Rare items like spices can become best-selling commodities in the global trade circle!
