Chapter 309 The process of power transition! Bloody and violent!
In the “cooperation” between Universal Corporation and the Atreides Family, Universal Corporation is undoubtedly the stronger party and the actual boss of Atreides.

The Universal Corporation can arbitrarily ask the Atreides family to do anything for the Corporation, and the Atreides can only obey the Corporation’s orders unconditionally.

At the beginning, in order to speed up the integration process, the world giant company will temporarily lower its posture and negotiate with Duke Leto, promising the other party benefits.

But now that the situation has been decided, it is already quite difficult for Leto to keep the benefits that the giant company had previously promised him. He does not dare to go any further and ask for more resources from the giant company.

Otherwise, if the world giant was angered, Leon could take back the rights and status promised to the Atreides family at any time and replace them with the Harkonnen family.

So on the surface, the relationship between Atreides and Megacorp looks like an alliance, but in fact Duke Leto knows very well that he is just a dog raised by Leon.

Whether the Atreides family can eat enough dog food fed by the giant corporation depends entirely on whether they behave obediently enough. Otherwise, they will be replaced by new lackeys at any time.

After listening to the sergeant’s explanation, Virgin Helen suddenly remembered that the other party was the person she had met on Caladan.

Rita was with the Master Chief at the time, and they claimed that they were from the Universal Corporation, but Helen at that time didn’t believe their nonsense at all.

She thought that this was some kind of global giant corporation, but it was just some technology and trade organization created by the Atreides family.

But now it seems that is not the case at all!

“So you are not Duke Leto’s men.”

Helen, who was a little stunned, began to think rapidly, and the passing time seemed to stand still at this moment.

She looked up at the Spartan warriors around her. Helen could clearly feel that these guards had a natural arrogance and confidence. They were indeed not like ordinary guards of the Atreides family.

Therefore, this group of people most likely came from a mysterious force that was no weaker than the Atreides Family.

These guards raided Kaitan only for the Sisterhood, which should be related to the assassination recently planned by the Sisterhood.

Obviously, Helen realized that it was the sisterhood members she had placed on Arrakis who threatened important figures in the Cosmos Corporation.

But her primary mission was to assassinate the top leaders of the Atreides family, but people from the Universal Corporation were implicated, which means that there were also core members of the Universal Corporation among the people present at the time.

After sorting out all the clues here, Helen has understood the truth of most things. Universal Corporation is an ally of the Atreides family, and even the mastermind behind the scenes!
The strength of the giant enterprise is so powerful that it is unbelievable. The defense system of Kaitan Star and the Palace District is like nothing to them. This force has the absolute power to “clear the table with one stroke”.

At this moment, Helen naturally thought of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Arrakis. It was obvious that the defeat of the royal family and the Harkonnen family was due to the giant enterprise’s super fleet.

However, neither the Harkonnen family nor the intelligence agencies of the Colino royal family were able to obtain any useful intelligence about that fleet.

They couldn’t even be 100% sure of the true owner of that super fleet.

Whether it is the giant corporation or the huge and terrifying fleet, they all seem like alien objects that appeared out of thin air!
The powerful force that the Universal Corporation demonstrated over the Atreides family also forced Duke Leto to submit to the Corporation, and Jessica had to betray the Sisterhood.

So from the beginning to now, Jessica already knew the whole truth and the predetermined ending.

She knew that the Atreides family would achieve a glorious victory under the leadership of the giant enterprise, and Paul did not need the help of the sisterhood at all to become the emperor of the galaxy.

After comprehensive consideration, Jessica made the choice that best suited her own interests, betraying the sisterhood and joining the global giant!
At that moment, Virgin Helen finally understood the truth of the matter. She uttered a desolate lament, but until now, she still didn’t know which family the global giant company belonged to.

You know, since the end of the AI ​​Holy War ten thousand years ago, the power and resource base of the Galactic Empire has long been divided up by the major families.

Enfeoff the princes and protect the empire.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for a vacuum of power and resources to exist, and it is impossible for an ancient family that has existed for tens of thousands of years to suddenly emerge and act as the big boss behind the scenes.

The power and resources allocated to all the aristocratic families are all fixed and clearly visible. Who is strong and who is weak has long been determined and planned.

The Corino Royal Family ranks first, and is a T0 existence that surpasses all others, while the Atreides and Harkonnen families are firmly in the T1 ranks, and the rest of the families are ranked at the back.

It can be said that the top families in the Galactic Empire are only the Corino, Atreides, and Harkonnen families. There will be no stronger families.

But now a top force suddenly appeared that could force Atreides to surrender and easily defeat the Colino and Harkonnen families.

This is like a bucket that can only hold one liter of water, and suddenly a ton of water gushes out. Where does this extra water come from?

All the major families in the Galactic Empire are under the surveillance of the Sisterhood. Saint Helen really can’t understand which family can have such ability.

More importantly, since the Universal Corporation has the power to unite all the major families, why not take action earlier, instead of going through the trouble of supporting the Atreides Family?

Isn’t the behind-the-scenes boss of the world’s giant enterprise tempted by the position of emperor?

Could it be that… the Universal Corporation is a force from outside the Milky Way? !
For a moment, Virgin Helen was stunned.

Due to the long-term use of spices, her brain worked very fast, and the sparks of inspiration allowed Helen to find the answer that was closest to the truth.

Perhaps the giant corporation in the universe is an ancient human force from outside the Milky Way!
The AI ​​holy war ten thousand years ago affected the entire galaxy. It is possible that some families despaired of the terrible war situation and chose to flee far away.

These ancient humans developed a completely different human civilization outside the Milky Way, which is why they possess such powerful technological capabilities.

“Are you humans from outside the galaxy?!”

Helen looked at the sergeant in astonishment. No wonder she always felt something was wrong when looking at these Spartan warriors. It turned out that they were not “locals” at all.

“It’s a bit too late for you to know the truth now.” The sergeant snorted coldly. It’s not that the giant enterprise didn’t give Helen a chance. She just deserved it.

At this time, Rita, who received the execution list from the headquarters and successfully arrested the senior members of the sisterhood, came out from the darkness.

The Spartan warriors behind her escorted more than a dozen core members of the sisterhood to this area, to be executed together with the Virgin Helen.

“Helen, I tell you the truth. Duke Leto is not qualified to sit on the throne of the Galactic Emperor. The one who should sit on this throne is our boss.”

“He will take over the entire religious and political organization of the Sisterhood and the Empire and become the sole God-Emperor here!”

At this moment, Virgin Helen felt like she was struck by lightning. Her desperate eyes revealed unwillingness and endless grief.

Of course, the greater emotion is regret.

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, the Atreides family was just a dog of the giant global enterprise, and the boss behind the scenes had appeared in front of him from the very beginning.

She only needs to get in touch with the giant enterprise, and then she can lead the sisterhood directly to the winner’s camp, instead of being completely liquidated like now!

But what surprised Helen even more was that even the Andromeda Galaxy, which is closest to the Milky Way, is one million light-years away.

With such a long distance, the universe must have a very powerful and terrifying civilization to cross such a long distance and come to the Milky Way.

The truth behind this deus ex machina completely overturned Helen’s cognition.

Seeing Helen’s stunned and surprised look, Rita decided to tell her the whole truth so that she would not die in confusion.

Immediately, Rita explained to Helen: “The assassin you arranged to assassinate Duke Leto met our Governor. You should know what this means.”

Hearing this, Helen was immediately disheartened. Governor was not some obscure term. The chief administrative official arranged by a giant enterprise to come to the empire had actually encountered such an assassination case.

It is no wonder that the world’s giant companies would go to great lengths to send such an elite force to carry out precision strikes and make a firm gesture to eradicate the sisterhood.

At this moment, Helen closed her eyes in despair and cursed the assassin she sent out a thousand times in her heart, but she was more upset about why she was so unlucky.

The Arrakis station was full of Atreides family high-ranking officials. How did they happen to run into the governor of a giant corporation? He was such a fool who was always causing trouble! “Okay, you should get going now.”

At this time, the Master Chief, who received the execution order, activated the mantis blade, the custom prosthetic weapon on his arm, and it popped out.

Equipping oneself with a prosthetic weapon is a traditional custom of every Astartes warrior and Spartan warrior, and even the Master Chief is no exception.

Among the many prosthetic weapons, he chose the same mantis sword as V.

At this moment, the communicator quickly set up a faster-than-light communication device and, through Kaitan’s broadcast network, projected the scene here in real time onto every screen in the Galactic Empire.

In an instant, everyone in the empire could see what was happening here.

Soon, Rita stood in front of the camera calmly and announced to the people watching the live broadcast:
“We are from the Universal Corporation, a super-civilized regime that will take over the Galactic Empire and unify the 005 Dune universe.”

Then, Rita glanced at the Virgin Helen who was kneeling on the ground and said:

“This is the Bene Gesserit of the Sisterhood. She is the Holy Mother Helen of the Sisterhood, but today, that honorific status will no longer belong to her.”

In front of the camera, the hunched and thin Virgin Helen with a pale face looked like a pile of old bones that would fall apart at any time in the cold wind. This scene was incredible to the family leaders.

The Virgin Mary, who was once so high and mighty and honorable, ended up in such a humiliating and sad end.

In the camera’s footage, they could even see the iconic buildings of the palace collapsing and disintegrating, with chaos and wailing everywhere.

At this moment, the Colino family guards still did not give up counterattacking the Spartan warriors.

But the Sojourner Dreadnought hovering in the sky had already released a large number of AI drones and clone soldiers to help the soldiers block these insignificant soldiers.

When encountering a situation where there are too many enemy personnel, David doesn’t mind using a hard light cannon to “clear the field with one shot.”

At this moment, senior family members from all over the empire were watching this bloody execution. They were witnessing the collapse of imperial power and the disintegration of the sisterhood.

The way to seize power is violence. This truth seems so real and close at this moment!
At first, some people questioned that this was a fake video intended to cause chaos, but soon these family heads learned about the latest developments on Kaitan through their own information channels.

When they learned that the palace area had fallen and even the chief of the imperial guards had died, they suddenly realized that the once-mighty Colino family and sisterhood were really going to be destroyed.

Of course, Rita didn’t care whether these family dignitaries believed it or not. As time went by, it would not be difficult to discern the truth of the matter.

Here, Rita continued to read out Helen’s crimes, and based on numerous pieces of evidence, deprived her of her political rights for life.

This operation was done to find a reason to kill Helen. To put it simply, this lifelong right was deprived. As long as it was a right related to a person, Helen was not qualified to enjoy it.

In other words, Helen was a beast at this moment, no longer a human being. To treat a beast that was not a human being, it was natural to kill it however one wanted.

“The Sisterhood’s Mother Helen planned a terrorist attack on the Atreides family in Arrakis, and arranged for the Sisterhood’s assassins to infiltrate the base and attempt to assassinate the core members of the Atreides.”

“During this process, important senior executives of the world’s giant companies were affected. Based on the principle that those who offend our giant companies will be punished no matter how far away they are.”

“We will purge the Sisterhood and execute Helen, the mastermind behind this, to serve as a warning to others!”

As soon as the words fell, the live broadcast screen suddenly split into two. The other new screen showed the canonization ceremony of Lady Jessica becoming the new Madonna of the sisterhood under the arrangement of Song Zhaomei.

On this side, a new sisterhood is being established, and Jessica will serve as the head of this department, developing and deeply exploring the role of spices for giant companies.

On the other side, the old sisterhood’s Holy Mother Helen is about to be executed, and Helen’s close confidants and high-ranking officials will die with her, and the old forces are about to disappear.

This visually impactful scene shows that the process of power transfer is so smooth. The family leaders are both surprised and excited.

Because most of them sided with the Atreides family, this time, they made the right choice!
At this moment, Helen looked up and saw that her biological daughter Jessica was taking over her position and becoming the new leader of the sorority. She couldn’t help but feel sad.

Helen knew the relationship between herself and Jessica. It was not a case of “loving mother and filial daughter”. After all, Jessica had been trained as a tool by Helen since she was a child.

But what Helen couldn’t accept was that Jessica, who had been manipulated and controlled by her all her life, would actually trick her at this critical juncture.

Jessica could have contacted Helen privately and told her the truth, just by providing some evidence, but she didn’t do that.

This means that Jessica has long wanted to replace Helen!
After realizing this, Helen smiled with relief. Jessica was the same kind of person as her, but this time, she was not the winner.

“Jessica, you win.”

Helen closed her eyes and straightened her back, as if she had calmly accepted her death.

The next second, the sergeant raised his knife and slashed it. With a crisp sound, the flesh and bones were separated, and Helen’s head fell from the wrinkled neck.

The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag, and the other sorority members behind Helen were also executed one by one.

Headshots, beheadings, poisoning injections, everything is available.

Rita did not prepare a long and boring speech this time. Their mission here was to publicly execute the Virgin Helen and arrest Emperor Saddam.

“Any organization that dares to endanger the interests of the Universal Corporation will be regarded as an enemy of the Corporation, and the Corporation will take any necessary measures to deal with the enemy.”

“In addition, the Universal Corporation accepts challenges from any force, but if they use improper actions, including but not limited to assassination, the Corporation will still take strong countermeasures!”

Rita’s words are actually a typical example of double standards. After all, during war, you will do anything to achieve your goals.

Assassination is just the most insignificant method.

But the Universal Corporation is an unprecedentedly powerful force in the Galactic Empire. Whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. The rules set by the Corporation are specifically designed to restrict the weak.

“Biological weapons, biological weapons, nuclear weapons and other weapons that violate humanitarian principles must not be used. Violators must be punished. Helen will be a warning to you!”

As Rita said these words, the sergeant beside her subconsciously lowered his head, not sure if he was trying to hold back laughter or was a little ashamed.

Because some time ago, he heard that the giant corporation in the 004 “Halo” universe had launched a strategic weapon called “neutron annihilation” against a certain species civilization.

It took only a few minutes to exterminate a civilized species that had lasted for 100,000 years.

Nowadays, giant companies don’t even allow others to play with trivial things like nuclear weapons. Isn’t this pure double standards?

Of course, Rita is just doing what her superiors tell her to do. After all, the world giant is about to start the final task of integrating the 005 “Dune” universe.

The enemies and allies have long been clearly distinguished as to who will cooperate and who will attack. Since war is inevitable, it is better to take this opportunity to deter the enemy and force more enemies to surrender voluntarily.

This will also reduce the impact of war on civilians and reduce unnecessary casualties.

After saying that, Rita asked someone to turn off the live broadcast. After kidnapping Emperor Saddam, they prepared to return in a grand manner.

As for the planet Kaitan, it will be left to the upcoming First and Second Expeditionary Corps to take over.

This night left too many shocks to the major families of the Galactic Empire. There was no doubt that they kept Rita’s words in their hearts.

Today’s Spartan warriors can rush into the heavily guarded palace, kidnap Emperor Saddam and behead the Virgin Helen in full view of the public.

Tomorrow, they may also perfectly replicate this process on other disobedient families!
