Yes, Madam Prime Minister

After joining the Purple Robe organization, Ronan quickly rose to a high position and accomplished a great deal.

But something happened later, and Ronan turned against the leader. In the end, Ronan killed the leader and disappeared.

With the leader dead, the organization fell apart, and as for what happened to "Ronan" afterward, she had no idea.

"I see." Ronan sighed. Clearly, she knew nothing about the other, most important part of him. "Didi, tell her about our situation. I need to pay attention to our flight path."

Dinia briefly explained their situation to the other party.

The very first sentence stunned Elena's aunt: she and Ronan actually came from another time and space. Time and space?

Although it is a world of the extraordinary, the vast majority of people, including most of the extraordinary individuals, have no concept of this kind of thing in their minds.

If Dinah hadn't spent so many years with Ronan and witnessed so many things, she still wouldn't have been able to understand the so-called parallel universe.

Only Ronan had a very high acceptance of these things.

Chapter 834 Another fruitless search; the Indians are forever unlucky, there's no safe place left.

Suleiman's capital, Constantinople.

Returning to this place once again, Ronan and Dinia felt as if they had been transported to another world.

This place used to be an incredibly open, prosperous, clean, and even elegant city, but now it is visibly dull, desolate, dirty, and has lost all its luster.

In the past, the streets were filled with women, dressed in silk robes, warm and generous, some even without hats, their hair loose. But now, the streets are almost devoid of women. Occasionally, one or two are completely shrouded in black robes, buying something from a shop with only a crack in the door and then immediately running into the alley, as if afraid of being seen, just like rats stealing food.

When order begins to crumble due to the panic of the superhumans, and when violence becomes the dominant theme, it signifies a comprehensive decline.

As Robert, Dinia's childhood math teacher at the Egis orphanage, said, this is not the end of man, but the end of civilization.

But the old man Robert, who had already described everything as the end of the world, had no idea that the gradual loss of power by superhumans was just the beginning. The superhuman power system had not yet truly collapsed, and the real natural disaster had not yet arrived. When that time came, the real natural disaster would trigger a real man-made catastrophe.

The existence of shops with only a crack in their doors and women daring to go out on the streets these days is still a long way from being a true hell on earth.

"If we can, we'll come back here again."

Dinia spoke to Elena's aunt Astrid, but her eyes were not on the other woman; they were fixed on the distant strait. She was not only speaking to Astrid, but also to the world at large.

Astrid looked at Dinia with some surprise.

Ronan, however, was already used to it.

Dinia is a complete anomaly among the extraordinary and superior beings.

It's not uncommon for high-ranking superhumans to care about ordinary people; Ambrina and Isabel are examples, though they are quite different.

Ambriel had met ordinary people when she was young, but those she met were actually the elite among the common people. In the end, Ambriel was a kind person. If she saw truth, goodness and beauty in an ordinary person, she was willing to care about them, but she didn't really care about this group, just like other kind nobles.

Isabelle initially rebelled, fed up with the hypocritical aristocracy. Later, she realized that commoners were the cornerstone of society. What she cared about was not the commoner as an individual, but the commoner class as a whole.

The two women were typical examples of the so-called upper class who cared for the people, but Dinya was different from them. She believed that, apart from supernatural powers, people were all the same. So when Lavini told her the truth about the world, she firmly chose to popularize supernatural powers and believed that people could create miracles.

"If possible, I will definitely come again."

Ronan replied.

Next, take the key to the entrance to the alternate dimension where Lavigne is located.

Everything went smoothly, but when Ronan, Dinia, and their temporary sidekick Astrid arrived in the alternate dimension, they didn't see Lavini, but instead encountered people from the Ship Country.

These people no longer live on ships, but on land. The huge ships can no longer hover in the air and can only lie there, and the various systems inside are no longer functioning.

As for the monsters that should have existed on the ground, they have been wiped out.

According to the people of the Ship Country, the goddess forgave them, swept away all the monsters, and seeing that the end was near, she left to seek a solution.

I was unable to meet Lavigne.

But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, because Lavini, the advanced AI suffering from severe mental illness, seems to have improved at least temporarily because the apocalypse has arrived and he no longer needs to struggle with what choices to make. While his condition may not be fully recovered, it has at least temporarily improved.

If her illness doesn't improve, it won't just be a matter of the monsters disappearing; she'll slaughter everything that's alive here.

Of course, she is definitely not fully recovered. If she could have fully recovered, she wouldn't have needed to commit suicide in Ronan's timeline.

Unexpectedly, Ronan and Dinia met someone Ronan had only met a few times, but Dinia knew very well.

Marianna, the sister of Ambrina and Isabelle, died alone shortly after Ambrina ascended the throne, just like in another timeline.

However, she had been out of contact in another time and space, and unexpectedly, she was found here in this time and space.

Ronan was curious about how she got here, and her answer was, "I turned into a golden eagle and flew in."

Well, Ronan thought she was a fool, but Marianne looked at Ronan with the same look she had for a fool.

Dinia invited her, and Ronan did not object, because her ability to directly enter other dimensions might come in very handy.

Mariana agreed, even though she had seen from the beginning that the Dinia in front of her was not the same Dinia who had once been her private tutor and eventually left that country.

Emerging from the alternate dimension, I gazed at the distant Persian Gulf.

"Let's go, next stop, Seris."

The group set off again.

Passing through India, I must say it is a magical land. Undoubtedly, the decline of that extraordinary power has also affected the extraordinary people in this land, yet no major upheavals have occurred here.

At least the changes haven't been too significant yet, because judging from the appearance of the countryside and towns, there really hasn't been much change.

“Perhaps the caste system is the ultimate answer to society? What do you think, Didi?” Ronan joked.

“Shit.” Dinia rarely used a swear word in response to Ronan’s joke.

"Hahaha." Ronan laughed and continued forward.

Dinia glared at Ronan but didn't say anything.

Mariana chuckled silently. It seemed that the teacher from another world had found her haven, and the lighthouse in her heart had never been extinguished.

What about her in the other world? She probably wouldn't be like her, achieving nothing and still lost to this day.

After crossing India, the four men entered Seris from Guangdong.

They had already inquired and learned that Seris had now completely retreated. Although the civil war had not yet broken out, it had in fact entered a state of local separatism. The core areas of each province were still okay, but some peripheral areas were out of control.

Under these circumstances, it became much easier for Ronan and his group to move stealthily.

After all, Seris was one of the few countries with a strict household registration system during peacetime, but when the imperial court lost control over the local areas, some things naturally became paralyzed.

As long as you don't enter major cities, take main roads, or go near certain famous sects, you'll basically not be discovered.

On the way to Chang'an, although they spent most of their time flying, they also landed to find places to eat, drink, and rest. In that short time, the group encountered several groups of extraordinary individuals who had switched to selling things without capital, as well as people with considerable cultivation who became thieves, and even monks who turned temples into black shops. There's not much to say; they just did what they were told.

There is no peaceful place left in this world.

Chapter 835 Chang'an Revisited, Different Fates for the Same People, Another Dinia

Changan.

This ancient capital is in trouble again.

The most outstanding extraordinary individuals in Seris live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers suitable for self-cultivation, where chaos is not a concern. The next level of extraordinary individuals are concentrated in economically prosperous and academically excellent places, where there is order amidst chaos.

After all, with such a powerful force suppressing it, many operations become difficult to manage.

However, in some places, while not exactly poor, they weren't very rich either. Many extraordinary individuals were in a limbo, and at this point in time when they were eager to realize the supernatural power they were losing, they all came up with a plan: to first create chaos in the local area, so that the imperial court would have no choice but to send them to quell the unrest. Moreover, they couldn't exhaust the resources, so the chaos couldn't be stopped.

Chang'an is one of those places.

In this respect, Seris is far superior to those fools in the West who only know how to exploit others. The lords of Seris can act like prostitutes while still maintaining a virtuous image, and are praised by everyone as the officially designated good people.

It's not just shameless, it's downright shameless.

"This country has fallen into depravity once again; it's just a matter of when it will rise again."

Ronan sighed inwardly.

In fact, in another timeline, Seris, which did not experience a major catastrophe, has also entered the final years of its dynasty, and a change of dynasty is not far off. If a reform can be carried out during the change of dynasty, it will be revitalized. If not, it will head down a path of contraction and closure, and fall further into the abyss.

Perhaps due to the existence of superhumans, the time when this country will be invaded will be greatly delayed, and even if it is invaded, the foreign enemy will not be able to act too recklessly. But is this a good thing?

Not necessarily.

Ronan didn't have much affection for Seris in this world, but he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of sympathy.

However, Ronan doesn't have time to deal with these things right now. Even if he did, he couldn't do anything about it. What can a foreigner like him do?

After the group entered Wen Jin's alternate dimension as quickly as possible using the old method, not long after, just like last time, a puppet came to life.

The doll and Wenjin are synchronized.

After a conversation, Wen Jin learned who Rondinia was and what her purpose was.

"Haha, that's right, that's right. Only I have the wisdom to solve this problem. However, I'm not available right now. I'm in the Heavenly Realm. Wait for me for three days."

After saying that shameless thing, Wen Jin hung up.

Ronan and Dinah could only wait three days.

As for Elena's aunt Astrid and Mariana, who happened to be recruited by chance, they were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on. They did not understand Seris language and knew almost nothing about otherworldly beings, the celestial realm, or the extraordinary system.

"You guys stay here, Didi and I will go get some food and drinks."

Ronan said.

The Chang'an outside is no longer the city where foreigners could sit in a restaurant and eat without being stared at. In fact, there are far fewer restaurants now. Elena's aunt Astrid and Ambrina's sister Mariana don't even speak Seris language, let alone know how to conceal their presence. Their presence in the city is likely to cause trouble. The key point is that the two of them are not good at reasoning.

When it comes to borrowing food from wealthy people, it's best to go to Ronan and Dinia. Ronan and Dinia's ability to reason is absolutely world-class.

No one can be unreasonable in front of the two of them.

Ronan and Dinia went out for half a day and returned with several large bags of dried salted meat, a pile of naan bread, and several large jars of Willow Grove wine.

"Sigh, I'm starting to miss Anri." Ronan couldn't help but sigh. If Ambriana, that preservation magic, were here, they could eat whatever they wanted without worrying about it spoiling.

“My other sister must be very happy,” Mariana murmured with a sigh.

During the journey, she learned about Ronan's identity and that he had married her sister in another world.

Ronan took a bite of salted meat and a sip of wine, saying, "Anyway, I've spent most of these decades eating, drinking, and having fun, and I've been incredibly happy every day."

"very nice."

Mariana smiled and sighed.

After leaving for several years, she returned to France once. Her sister was not happy, and in the last few years before her death, she became somewhat terrifying, like a cold-blooded political animal. Her last act of kindness was not killing her husband.

In the other world, she disappeared without a trace after leaving.

Fate is a thing that is truly hard to explain.

Three days passed in a flash, and Wen Jin arrived. She appeared directly in the alternate dimension, and her appearance was completely different from when she was seen on the other side last time. She was wearing a white bodysuit with a strong sense of technology, which clearly outlined the curves of her developing teenage body. Her hairstyle had also changed to a short bob that reached her ears, which was capable but still retained a bit of playfulness.

"It will take some time to take you to the Heavenly Realm, so just wait."

After saying that, Wenjin started working.

Half a day later, Wen Jin finished the arrangements and led Ronan and the other three to the Heavenly Realm.

The heavens remained unchanged. As far as the eye could see, there was endless silvery-white sand, and almost nothing else. It seemed as if every place in the world was illuminated by moonlight, but the moon was nowhere to be seen; there was only the black night sky.

Wen Jin led the way, saying, "I'll take you to meet Kate and Lavini first, and then we'll talk about you later."

He hadn't gone far when a red light suddenly appeared. Ronan instinctively raised his shield, but the next second, a woman with long, pale white hair was already being held down by Dinia.

Dinia pinned down another Dinia.

"Ha, Didi, it seems the other you has poor eyesight," Ronan teased.

Dinia, still holding onto her other self, glanced sideways at Ronan. "That's not like you either. You've simply become a menace to the world."

After saying that, seeing that her other self had probably regained consciousness, Dinia released herself.

At this moment, Wen Jin stepped forward and said, "Didn't I already tell you about them?"

Another "Dinia" stood up, looked at Dinia, and said, "People's choices may change, but their essence remains the same."

This statement clearly refers to Ronan.

“Thank you.” Dinia’s thanks were completely insincere before her expression changed. “But I’m definitely more qualified than you to tell you what kind of person he is.”

“I hope you’re right.” The other “Dinia” seemed too lazy to argue.

But Dinia showed no sign of giving up, saying, "Hatred is a power, but being dominated by hatred is a sign of immaturity."

"Being a know-it-all and needing others' approval is a sign of immaturity." Another "Dinia" also sharpened her gaze.

Dinia glanced at Ronan. "I'm starting to understand you. The thing people are most likely to dislike is themselves."
