Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 578 - 25: Each’s Own Position_2

Everyone looked at each other as if they were a pool of data that could be utilized.

But in human society, Ju Mang often passed for underage due to her voice, which caused many to disrespect her.

It wasn't until she had taught them a lesson in various ways that she would tame them. Ju Mang grew disgusted by having to do this repeatedly.

She continued to look down on Constantine, as the battle had already lost its suspense.

Everyone was merely dividing up the spoils, exchanging bits of intelligence among themselves.

The final chapter of the seven Children of Order would play out here.

Within the Throne of Order, the secrets each had discovered no longer needed to be kept.

Ju Mang went on:

"Even before Tang Xian left the Throne, when you all ganged up on him, I thought there was something wrong.

All of us were carefully selected, the most outstanding of the Human World.

Even with the differences among us, it shouldn't be that we could not even do what ordinary people knew to do."

The bullied one never considered any rescue measures and let himself be bullied without protest—isn't that very strange?

And Tang Xian's acting really was terrible. It looked too contrived. But at that time, I didn't know whom he had chosen to collaborate with."

Constantine and Uranus hadn't expected this response. They were surprised that Ju Mang had sensed something off about Tang Xian when she was so young.

Tang Xian gave a bitter smile, wanting to correct that he actually was an actor. His acting had saved him many times in the mine zone.

The acting he honed amid the terror of life and death was not comparable to that of his past.

But Ju Mang obviously didn't give Tang Xian a chance to speak, as she continued:

"However, Tang Xian was very alert. I didn't quite trust that he was Konstant, and I couldn't understand his actions, but he alone noticed my abnormality and took the opportunity to talk to me while you weren't paying attention.

He candidly revealed his collaboration with you. But he didn't try to win me over, he merely let me understand the history of the Throne, how as Children of Order we replaced our predecessors, and how we would be replaced by our successors."

Ironically, the person in charge of nurturing the Children of Order was me."

Not only Constantine and Uranus, but Ganesa too were astonished by this "collaboration" between Ju Mang and Tang Xian, devoid of any ulterior motives.

The two finally understood why no sufficiently outstanding Children of Order had emerged over the years.

"Our existence is like some kind of upgradeable software, once there's a better substitute, we will be replaced by new Children of Order. This is the renewal and evolution of the Children of Order.

Or perhaps we are just the operating system for the Orderers' power, and with a better system, we will be replaced.

So over the years, I've been doing one thing, that is, preventing this possibility of replacement. Constantine… no, Prometheus, you should be thankful to me."

Ju Mang's words were somewhat of a novelty even for Tang Xian; although he had thought this way before, it was still a shock to have someone else confirm it.

Not to mention Uranus, Ganesa, and Constantine.

"We were never really gods above all, not even as good as those Pyramid residents unaware of the truth.

They at least have complete lives, while we are merely tools used by the Orderers to control this world.

I must tell you that over the years I was in charge of nurturing the candidates, quite a few talents did emerge, but they are now living idly in Origin and the Eye of Nature.

Therefore, no one capable of replacing us has appeared over the years. This is the fruit of my labor, but there's another question that I need to have answered."

Ju Mang's gaze turned to Constantine, and she said very seriously:

"You are the Watcher, the one among us who should have known the most. You can choose to die here, as a foolish failure, or you can choose to share what you know with us."

This was the source of Constantine's confidence. Because everyone held their own secrets, each was eager to unearth the secrets known by others.

In that year, Tang Xian had a vague sense of the connections between the mine zone, the Human World, and the Pyramid World.

He was the opportunist who roamed among those worlds.

The true history of mankind, he was most likely to uncover, and so too the secrets hidden within the Court of the Myriad Beasts were most likely to be known by Tang Xian.

Even the inheritance of the six great apocalyptic creatures was Tang Xian's own secret.

But the other Children of Order born with him each had their own secrets as well.

Xi He discovered the latent potential of humans, who—even without relying on the genetic gifts of the Order—possessed beings known as tyrants.

Given more time, he might have truly been able to cultivate artificial tyrants. By then, he probably wouldn't have been content to remain subordinate to the Order.

Ju Mang understood the method of inheritance for the Children of Order. In the process of cultivating the Children of Order, she had gradually realized that a terrifying and mysterious existence was manipulating the world.

Uranus, Siren, and Ganesa all had their own discoveries as well.

So what about Constantine? As the most powerful of the Children of Order and merely a substitute for Tang Xian, what astounding secret did Constantine uncover over these twenty years that made him betray Tang Xian without hesitation?

"What do you want to know?" Constantine was composed, even sporting a smile on his face.

The current atmosphere hardly seemed like one where life or death would be decided, but rather like a round-table meeting.

This time, it wasn't Ju Mang who spoke, but Tang Xian:

"Chaos theory states that even within deterministic systems, if the equations describing behavior are nonlinear, then a tiny change in initial conditions can lead to unpredictable and drastic changes.

Humans are a species whose thoughts continually change, and that change is uncontrollable. Have none of us considered rebellion, or are you saying that none before us had?

I can understand that our standpoints are divided because of me, my parents. My experience has been quite unique.

But among the previous Children of Order, the people working in the Pantheon, wasn't there a single one like me, who harbored thoughts of rebellion?

Just so happens that for centuries there were no issues, but in our generation, suddenly everyone has ulterior motives?"

Tang Xian's words made Ju Mang feel slightly uncomfortable.

Constantine's smile gradually faded.

He looked earnestly at Tang Xian, and Tang Xian stared back at him.

"So Constantine, whether today's situation ends with us deciding life or death, or if we once again use each other with ulterior motives,

now that your life is in my hands, shouldn't you tell me what the method of correction is? I assume you must have discovered it to have changed your stance so suddenly."

The Correction Program.

It was these few words that made Ju Mang feel as though she had missed something.

Indeed, if the Children of Order could easily start questioning the Pyramid—

then how did the Order manage to rule over the Human World for hundreds of years so steadily?

Tang Xian's biological mother was the source of chaos, making Tang Xian wary of the Order from an early age.

And by coincidence, Tang Xian's adoptive parents began to plan their escape from the divine throne.

And also by coincidence, this wariness was conveyed to both Constantine and herself.

All these coincidences were like a bug causing a series of bugs.

Like the effect of gears, they caused the entire Order program to continuously produce errors.

But wouldn't this situation have occurred before in centuries past?

If it had, how did the Order eliminate these bugs?

These consecutive thoughts flashed through Ju Mang's mind.

She even felt surprised that she had only now realized these inconsistencies.

Constantine's gaze was complex as he scrutinized Tang Xian and said:

"Yes, you've pinpointed the most critical point. I warned you, if we make too big a commotion, we will be noticed.

Tang Xian, do you think our authority is that extensive? We are merely sheepdogs.

The moment we reflect on this world and start questioning the true shepherd is when we face destruction."
