Supreme Intelligence fits the ending more than Wisdom.
dunno if this counts as a spoiler or not (you literally get this from glancing at the Table of Contents), but don't worry, Chapter 11 is parts 2 and 3 of The Book of Supreme Intelligence. So the story is continued. I'm not gonna say any more on why or how it plays out, though.
Side Note: In the anime and the B-T LN translation, the Book of Supreme Intelligence was translated as the Book of Wisdom. Which one would you guys prefer?
Conquering the world is actually intelligent, trying to keep it as your property is the stupid thing to do. That is because the world conquest is the only time when you're able to reach all people in the world.
Otherwise, no matter what you do, there are always people who ignore you or don't even know you because of how media distribution, censorship and propaganda works in a modern society.
People who hold the sovereignity of humanity hostage (i.e. the politicians and economic elites) will always do their best to keep their influence strong, even by means of propaganda, libel, slur and crimes.
The only way to break this is by either reeducating every single human on earth in a way that they start to think and critisize (which is impossible because people are either stupid or lazy or cowards) or conquering the world to remove the heinous people with social influence and power [ which is equal to the purge of evil on doomsday].
Thank you for picking this up~ If I didn't have the anime's opening downloaded on my laptop I'd have forgotten about this story no matter how I love it in all its simplicity, so thank you for reviving it <3
I am so happy right now.
No problem ^^
I think this is a chapter that's only in the manga. I haven't read the novels past volume 1, though ^^;;
Thanks so much for picking this series up!
@all
The proofreader for c9 is Servant, instead of mike_art03a. I overlooked it, and I'm sorry for the confusion.
Because the book isn't complete.
Its a paradox power. You become so smart you can conquer the world on a whim, but you also become so smart you realize that conquering the world is fucking stupid; so you never do so..
I don't really get why Dalian isn't interested in that book... Just because it isn't especially dangerous (though I'd have to believe there are outliers out there) -- shouldn't she still want to bring all the books into the library?
oh boy, update!
Okay ... the last two chapters have been really interesting. This is material not in the anime adaptation and that I do not remember from the first volume of the novels that I read some years ago.
Excellent stuff.
Thanks so much for the releases!
Agreed ... but I am not getting my hopes up. Season 1 was beautifully done, I thought, but the source material writing style is ... difficult. The anime and manga adaptation are much easier to follow and much more engaging, I think.
Even so ... I would be delighted to see another season of this series!
Thanks to the folks who helped to make the manga available in English. ^^
I am aware. The anime came before the manga for me. But this story was not in there. Maybe a second OVA will cover that... there's always hoping... ;D
will Volume 4 be uploaded ?
But this series already has an anime though.
The 6.2's new faces pretty much beg to be animated (all their classy antics could turn out real cool).
How strange today is... I check my follows and several series that I've practically lost hope on being updated as suddenly updated today。 What are the odds?
I have been waiting so long for thisssss.
now thats an interesting twist..our friendly neighborhood dictator hitler. eversince u watch this anime i always thougt to myself "what if the story drag-on unto ww2..cuz i read of those Mystical reseach about the aryan race norse myt whatnot conducted by the SS..sure ther be plenty of story device availabe in this time period than those in 1920 ww1.
Hey, it's Mr Moustache!
Didn't realize this tied in with Negative Happy Chain Saw Edge before. Guess I've got to read it now
wait wait whaaaaat?
that girl's supposed to be a love interest? O_O
I believe Dalian is more like a daughter/companion than a love interest for Huey. She does get jealous when other women approach Huey, but it's not really romantic jealousy.
