Chapter 173: Angry Debate
“The Pantherese support Moon unconditionally! They should never have saved you people! You should all go to hell!”
“All the Hosians support Moon as well!”
“So do the Soleilians! If those people want freedom so badly, let them have it! Why should we worry about them? Don’t come running to us if anything bad happens!”
Moon’s allied countries all shared their views and chose to side with Moon.
Just like the Moonians, they didn’t understand all the decisions Himmel Soan and the country made, but they chose to believe him.
Unconditionally.
They knew Himmel Soan would never harm them.
It was no longer a debate among the Moonians. The whole world was involved. Moon and its four allied countries argued against the rest of the world.
It had started off as something not so serious. The people of other countries didn’t plan to fall out with Moon at first. They were rather polite when everything started, and they showed Himmel Soan much respect.
However, Moon’s subsequent actions and what the people of the five countries said enraged all the other countries.
Things became ugly after that. The people who defended their human rights wouldn’t be easily dissuaded. Hence, Himmel Soan and Moon’s decision started another round of angry debates.
“You people are so funny. I don’t get it. What harm can kneeling possibly do? Why won’t you leave us alone? It’s none of your business! Why does it bother you? You’re not my boss, my parents, or my partner! You have no right to meddle with what I do! Even my parents haven’t said anything. Why would I listen to you?”
“You’re absolutely correct. It’s none of our business, which is why we let you do it. Just make sure you won’t regret it later!”
“What? Are you going to attack us? Is that a threat? Why would we regret it? Are you going to launch some new weapons at us? You can’t scare us! Moon isn’t the boss of the world!”
“We’ve gotten used to ungrateful people like you. So be it! You can do whatever you want. You shouldn’t even be considered human beings! You haven’t shown any gratitude! Talking to you is a waste of my time!”
“Dude, why are you so aggressive? What do you mean we showed no gratitude? We’re grateful for what you did, and we thanked you! But what’s happening now is a completely different thing! If you try to use our gratitude to morally coerce us, I’m sorry, but we won’t let that happen! You’d better give up that idea now!”
“Let me repeat this: Moon has no intention of ruling the world, and you’re not worth it either! Look at your country. What can you possibly offer us? Why would we want to rule you? Go to hell!”
...
Those comments affected some high-ranking officials. Even some influencers, who had remained silent until now, began to share their views. After that, some celebrities and millionaires joined the debate as well.
Gross, the famous Iceanian actor, wrote, “I think we should all calm down. There’s no need to get so excited. It’s not such a serious matter. If the Moonians asked us to wait for ten more minutes, I think we can wait. Ten minutes isn’t that long a time. If gravity still isn’t restored then, we can always kneel at the ocean!”
Gross tried to be as neutral as he could and didn’t side with any country. However, his fellow countrymen lashed out at him because of that. His words were considered to be defending Moon.
People called him a traitor and a coward. Seeing all the criticisms, Gross didn’t dare speak again.
Tanaka, a Flamian influencer, wrote, “I think the whole thing isn’t about what Moon said. It’s how they said it. We have no problem with waiting for ten minutes, but Moon has expressed it in such a condescending way. Why should we take their order? We’re not their slaves! They shouldn’t talk to us in that way! I think that was why we got so angry. I demand an apology from M right now! We’re all equal. You think you’re somehow above us just because you saved us once? Apologize to us!”
After he posted that comment, he gained over ten million followers.
“Totally!”
“I agree! Moon has saved us, but it doesn’t make them our boss! They can’t order us around!”
“We’ll never yield!”
Gross and Tanaka were only two examples. Gross had a neutral standpoint, while Tanaka was against Moon.
Moon still had some supporters.
Barakin, a comedian well-known globally, shared his view, supporting Moon. He wrote, “Everybody, calm your horses! There’s no need to get angry over such matters. I’m sure Moon won’t harm us. There’s no doubt about that! If they really wanted to, why would they save you in the first place? They could have let you die in the meteorite shower.
“Mr. Soan is the god of science, and he must have his reason. Maybe worshiping the ocean will set off something terrible that we don’t understand. Since he only needs another ten minutes to restore gravity, why don’t we wait for ten minutes? We shouldn’t turn on each other for such a petty thing.
“If, fingers crossed, Moon really wants to rule the world, who’s there to stop them? They can do it without warning anybody. Their army can enter your countries, and you won’t be able to do anything. They didn’t do that, and I think that’s proof enough. Why can’t you be more reasonable and stop this nonsense?”
Gross didn’t side with Moon, but people still criticized him. It wasn’t surprising to see how those people treated Barakin.
