Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1330 Ragnarok of the Gods (102)

"The earth is beautiful."

Cheng Mo thought of the sheer emptiness and vastness that space brought him when he looked down on the earth in space, which made him feel from the bottom of his heart that the universe is so vast and boundless.

And when he passed through the clouds, saw the vast and blue sea, and saw the Chosen ones entangled in the sky like swarms of flying ants above the sea, the feeling that human beings are just ants in the universe grew again. come out.

"Human beings are so small."

Li Jiting heard the voice in Cheng Mo's mind, and responded: "No, it is precisely the magnificence of the universe that makes human beings not insignificant and existence not empty. You have to look up, see the sky full of stars, far away from the Milky Way, and imagine a star. The decay of the stars, time is like light. Even if you are trapped by the annoying alarm clock in the morning and the crowded subway in the evening, just look up, you can have a warm embrace, and you will feel that you are not alone, because that is our hometown, It is our eternal home."

Cheng Mo overlooked the Chosen One flying like ants on the distant clouds, and recalled the scene when he was a child squatting under a tree and observing two groups of ants scrambling for food. The embankment of Yuanshui is very close. At that time, the embankment on the left bank had not been treated with mortar. It was still a very basic earth embankment, and there were many ant nests. When I was tired of reading, I would go to the embankment to watch the ants. In the distance, uncle There are two ant nests that are relatively close to the embankment about one kilometer away. One is on the left side of the embankment, and the other is on the right side of the embankment. , but they may live on different sides, separated by the loess road on the top of the bank. Until one day, I, the observer above the ants, was very bored and left on the loess road on the top of the bank. A piece of candy. The sweet scent of the candy soon attracted the worker ants looking for food. Maybe the ants had never eaten such a sweet thing. They ran over like crazy. First, the worker ants wanted to bring the candy back My own nest, and then the soldier ants fought. So the two ant populations that had lived in peace began to fight, and the black dots were densely covered with the loess road on the embankment. Those poor ants fought for a piece of candy I dropped. The bloody battle left corpses all over the floor. There are still many, many candies in this world." He paused and whispered, "But the poor ants can only see this one in front of them!"

"What is this? Cheng Mo's fable of the ants?" Li Jiting chuckled, "The great prophet Cheng Mo, how will you save these poor ants?"

"As a human being, it is easy to save ants. But as a human being, it is very difficult to save humans. So first of all, we have to get rid of our human identity and treat humans as ants."

Li Jiting shook his head, "Want to become a god? Ants will never be able to become humans. Just like humans will never be able to become gods." His tone is indifferent but undeniable, "Even if I have been infinitely close to a god like me, I am not after all. Regardless How close, no, no. You're human after all."

"No." Cheng Mo also shook his head, "I never thought I would become a god. I don't want to be a god either. And human beings don't need a god either!"

"Don't you need it?" Li Jiting asked back.

Cheng Mo did not directly answer Li Jiting's question, but said: "When I was young, I didn't quite understand why humans were compared to ants. Humans are so different from ants! Wisdom, strength, rationality, and imagination. How can humans be so powerful?" It may be comparable to a small ant? But after reading my father’s book——I realized that human beings are really no different from ants. They also have specific social division of labor, superior communication skills, and incomparable Collaborative cooperation. There is an obvious pyramid-shaped social structure, and various ants such as queen ants, drone ants, worker ants, soldier ants, and nurse ants have a clear division of labor. Except for ants, no animal can show so much in common with human society .Even the ant nest is very similar to a human city, and the war between different ant populations is extremely cruel. They are all battles that will never be eliminated. The Chosen Ones in front of us are also fighting inextricably.”

""Super Society of Ants"? It's a very good book, and I've read it too." Li Jiting smiled, "You won't follow the Creator again and do such a cruel thing as flooding ants?"

"No." Cheng Mo shook his head, "When the ant population on the left bank was about to lose, I ran to the nest of the ants on the right bank that was about to win, and became an ant god. I used a shovel to dig up the old nest of the ants on the right bank , I found the queen ant palace located deep in the ant nest. The queen ant is completely different from other ants. It is white and fat like a silkworm baby, lying in the large palace waiting for the guards of other soldier ants. My God descended A shovel mercilessly beat it to death. Then the ants on the right bank, which were about to win, were defeated immediately."

Li Jiting said meaningfully: "Doesn't this just mean that ants need God's help?"

Cheng Mo understood what Li Jiting meant, and when he thought of Xie Jili who died in the "God's Stick", the veins on his temples throbbed, his heart constricted again, and the desire to kill almost burst out of his chest.But the more excited his blood was, the clearer his brain became.

"The similarity between human society and ant society lies in pheromones. Ant queens use pheromones to control the actions of other ants. What is pheromone in human society? We can't superficially understand pheromones as- The language of communication. Because pheromone covers a wider range of content, it is also a collection of ethnicity, culture, consciousness, morality, religion, etc. For example, in the former continent of Europe, religion is pheromone, and people who believe in different religions It is different species of ants, they are gathered together by the same belief, and wage war against the heretics under the control of the queen. Now, the pheromones used by human beings are more complicated. For example, it motivates ordinary people to work like ants Work - is the collective recognition of the so-called "social value". When everyone thinks that they have a car and a house, get married and have children, or get promoted and raise their salary, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei and go to the pinnacle of life, it is social value You have to become a member of the ants and work hard in the city with a mortgage and a car loan. For example, in terms of consciousness, 'liberalism' is a powerful pheromone. When you are influenced by novels, movies Influenced by some cultural carriers such as cartoons, cartoons, etc., when you agree with 'liberalism', you become a white ant. And we humans often use this 'pheromone' to control other humans, making him willingly become an ant Ant."

Li Jiting smiled, "So? Pheromone is a kind of brainwashing program. When it is implanted in the ant's brain, it will automatically obey the queen's arrangement? Your idea is not to install a brainwashing program in everyone's brain. This kind of procedure, right?"

"It's not impossible. Half of the brains of our modern people belong to ourselves, and the other half belongs to mobile phones and the Internet. We cannot directly implant programs in people's brains, but it is easy to implant them in mobile phones and the Internet. Just like those algorithms aimed at human weaknesses, when you click and refresh over and over again, it will understand you better than yourself, making you more and more dependent on it instead of your own brain." Cheng Mo said, "It's actually replacing your brain, thinking for you."

"This is not much different from Stargate's approach." Li Jiting shook his head, "Let's not discuss how Stargate is doing. It is unrealistic to control the world's Internet with one's own power."

"There is a big difference. Stargate's method is to kill the queen, or use the ants to resist the queen, but the ants without the queen will become chaotic, which will lead to disorder. But my idea is different, what I want to solve It's the queen ant, first control the queen ant, then do the opposite."

"There are many ant queens on this earth."

"No matter how many there are, I will replace them all with queen ants who obey my will."

"Then what's the difference between what you're after and the Stargate?"

"Of course it's different. Stargate regards people as production tools. And I" Cheng Mo said blankly, "and I regard people as ants. Just like my father once said in the book: Maybe the social form of ants is a kind of The ultimate form of the paradigm. When artificial intelligence intervenes in human society, it is equivalent to human beings having an efficient collection of multi-information similar to ant pheromones. Only in this way can human beings reach the real shore.”

"I remember your father also said in the book, just like the stagnant civilizations of human beings in the past, such as the civilizations created by the Eskimos, Mongols, and Spartans, because they abandoned diversity and insisted on a rigid animal nature, they went on the road. The road to regression is the same for these social insects. This kind of society has one characteristic—hierarchy and specialization.” Li Jiting said, “So, are you sure you can really reach the real left bank?”

"Maybe it leads astray, but this is the only way I can think of to get to the other side."

Li Jiting paused, and said noncommittally: "Many things are like this. The goal at the beginning is good, but the further you go, the beautiful scenery and sweet fruits will tempt you, and the storms, torrents and mountains will hinder you. You are getting older , there are more and more people around you, time is getting tighter, but the other side you want to go to has never been close. You are tired, you doubt, you are isolated, you are blinded, you are haunted by the world, you are confused, you look around I looked around, and there was no one around. Then it became a story about a boy who slayed a dragon and finally became a dragon."

"If." Cheng Mo was silent for a while, and said firmly, "If you say that you were an evil dragon at the beginning, then you won't become an evil dragon again, will you?"

Li Jiting turned his head to look at Cheng Mo. Across the rippling flames, his face was as quiet as the warm winter sun reflected by the stream. The fiery and serene expression made one believe that he was definitely not just talking, he would definitely Fulfill his promise.He suddenly laughed happily. After laughing, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know the consequences of doing this? Why do you think you will be successful?"

Cheng Mo was silent for a few more seconds, and replied: "When you set a goal that is so ambitious that it is difficult to achieve, don't think about the consequences. If you think about the consequences, it is impossible to succeed."

"Your thoughts are extreme and dangerous."

Cheng Mo didn't answer right away. During the rapid fall, he stared at the small black spot in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger, and turned into a magnificent scene of gunfire.

This is a small fragment of what happened in this universe for tens of thousands of minutes. Within hundreds of square kilometers, there are white clouds, boiling oceans, scorching lasers, and bright bullets.A fighter plane roared into the line of the star gate and exploded into fireworks.It echoes the explosion photos in the distance, allowing the flames to spread.A cyborg in mechanical armor holds a gun.A man in ancient knight armor holds a sword.There was an angry light in their eyes, as if the sea of ​​fire that was rushing madly did not exist.An arrow pierced the neck, a bullet broke an arm, and a bolt of lightning pierced the skull.One person dragged the other into the flames, turning into two DNA helices.

Everything is in front of Cheng Mo, showing a transcendent madness.Under the sunset sky, his fellows changed from their usual gentleness to surprisingly ferocious.

At this moment, there is no difference between these chosen ones armed with high technology and those ants wielding their minions.They are also fighting over a candy.Whether it is guarding or plundering.

They couldn't see the candy anywhere else, so they paid far more than one candy, or even a hundred candies.

But nothing is more important than this candy in front of you.

Humans are as short-sighted as ants.

In fact, not to mention the universe, the earth is already big enough. We could get along well and share music, movies, and various arts, instead of creating hatred in the war caused by desire.When the war is over, you can only lick your wounds in sorrow. So many painful and sad songs are still being sung year after year, but war, plague and famine never stop.

100 years ago, we could still say that human beings were not productive enough, but saying so now is an excuse to fool others.

Humanity needs unity.

However, lies, ignorance and desire are the gaps between human beings, tearing ordinary people into chips in the hands of the chosen ones.

Cheng Mo is not sympathetic to others, and he doesn't even think there is anything wrong with the social structure that has lasted for millions of years. In any case, the mechanism of survival of the fittest is the driving force behind human progress.But he is also eager to see human beings change, break through the shackles of the social structure, and advance to a higher level of civilization.

"Master, let's go back to the original question. You always think that human beings need a god-like and benevolent savior, but in fact, human beings are very realistic. When they do not encounter devils, they never think that they need to be saved. After encountering devils, After begging the gods to be saved, the devil will soon be forgotten, thinking that the gods are just superfluous existence. The savior who wants to be the savior of mankind will only be crucified by humans after the devil is exiled. Reality is not a movie. No matter how weak the protagonist is in the movie, How powerful the villain is, in the end it must still symbolize the victory of the protagonist of justice. But this is not the case in reality. The villain is easier to win than the decent. Under normal circumstances, the villain can win as long as he kills the decent. And the decent wants to win , there are too many things that need to be scrupled, such as law, justice, ignorance, interests, and cross-talk. Just like all the obstacles in this world are set up for decency. Change it to a quotation from "Let the Bullets Fly"-'This is What the hell is that? A good man has to be pointed at with a gun?'" he said, "'A good man has to be pointed at with a gun' is not a theory, but a reality. A good man will be pointed at, even Point a gun at yourself. Therefore, if the savior is merciful, he is destined to be crucified by mankind."

"It's not Mercy's fault."

Cheng Mo sneered, "You know, master, I have a problem with Xie Minyun. Because she is so great, it makes me appear how despicable. Although I don't care how despicable I am, I would rather she choose to kill her on the Eiffel Tower. Me, it will be her who will bear the pain and regret for the rest of my life. Sometimes I close my eyes and dream of her, and when I wake up, I find it was a dream, and I hate her again. I hate her with a compassionate heart , but does not have the ability to save sentient beings, obviously she is also struggling alone, but she can't see all the suffering and injustice in this world. She can only sacrifice herself, but what did she gain by sacrificing herself?" He was in the scorching wind. In the middle, he looked at Li Jiting, his eyes were still burning through the blade-fast air, but his eyes were frosty, "Master, can you tell me? Can you tell me? She didn't even get a thank you, a thank you." repent."

Li Jiting shook his head, "You are not Xie Minyun, you cannot draw conclusions for her."

Cheng Mo sneered, "Yes, I can't draw a conclusion for her. But at least I can draw a conclusion that this world cannot be saved with kindness. So... so... I will be a person who can hold a gun and tell those high-ranking Chosen Readers, you must be a good person." He said coldly, "If they are not afraid of death, I will give them death. If they are not afraid of the end, then give them the end! Only by becoming the embodiment of what anyone can fear, Those who are shameful and selfish are the ones who are good because they are afraid."

Li Jiting sighed softly, "Then what happens after you die? I have also witnessed the shining stars, and I have no doubts about the bright future of mankind. But as the stars fall, human beings are deceived by sweet temptations and fall into obscurity, and the world has gone back to the old days The way. Momentary happiness is not difficult to find, the difficulty is to break free from this cruel and ruthless historical cycle!"

Cheng Mo looked at the steel continent floating on the sea. Although it was far away, he could clearly see ordinary people fleeing in panic on it with his eyesight. "To put it cruelly, maybe human beings don't need to break free from the historical cycle. It is the price that human society must pay for evolution.”

"But the price is too heavy."

"It's heavy for whom?" Cheng Mo sneered, "At least for the Chosen One, it's never me who pays the price."

Li Jiting remained silent.

At this moment, four clusters of light appeared above the battle line between Tai Chi Dragon and the Star Gate. They occupied one direction in the southeast, northwest, and the other, like four ultra-high-wattage xenon spotlights, illuminating the dusk that is about to end. sky and sea.

Cheng Mo knew something was wrong, held his breath, and heard prayer-like singing coming from the north. The singing was winding and winding, like a church choir reciting a spell to resist the devil.

"I saw Satan fall from the sky like lightning. The Creator has given us the power to trample the ancient serpents and lizards, and power over the enemy. Fred Koch, the Tenth General of God, in the name of the Creator, declares Wicked Nebuchadnezzar is doomed. The Creator will cast you out of this earthly sanctuary."

After a short pause, thunderous shouts exploded in the northern sky, "Holy Word: The banishment of the Holy Spirit!"

This majestic and sacred tune spread in the vast sky, and when it passed through the eardrums, Cheng Mo was so shocked that he felt like his soul was out of his body.He saw a black shadow appearing in the light group in the due north. It should be Fred Koch, the tenth general, releasing a golden light. The light group tens of kilometers away to the west.

The wind suddenly weakened, and clouds gathered in the sky, blocking the moonlight and starlight.The darkening sky is illuminated sequentially from north to west by this light, like a golden laser beam passing through the dark stage.This light makes the scenes hidden in the dark appear one by one, the rolling waves, the drones flying over the rain of bullets, the swelling smoke and dust, and the stalled chosen one. When the beam of light reaches the due west light group, the due west light group bursts out. A more scorching light, that light is like the clear light of a full moon.

Gives a sense of grandeur.

Immediately afterwards, there was another distant singing: "Nebuchadnezzar, you were also an angel walking in the sky. The Creator gave you wings, life, and wisdom. But you betrayed the glory of the Lord. Now I God's punishment, torture, salvation, and majestic authority have all come. The lamb who follows will sacrifice blood, and the lamb who lifts the sword with me will witness morality. The eighth God will Richard Mellon, as the Creator In the name of Nebuchadnezzar, the traitor, you will be punished, and whatever name you were called, the time has come to pay you."

The majestic golden beam of light seemed to have been refracted, and it rushed towards the group of light in the south.

"Holy Word: Punishment of the Holy Spirit!"

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the rapidly thickening clouds surrounded the four light clusters to form a terrifying black cloud cluster like air currents. Lightning and thunder jumped in the cloud clusters, as if a storm that overturned the sea was about to come.

"The only God in the universe will give us supreme power and wisdom, so that we can destroy the deeds of the devil. We are the children of God, and we will surely throw the sinful devil into the lake of fire and brimstone. And the false prophet, suffer day and night, forever! The sixth general, Henry Charles Albert Mountbatten-Windsor, in the name of the Creator, declared that the fallen Nebuchadnezzar will never be pardoned and forgiven. "The black shadow hidden in the golden light group sounded like a bell, "Holy Word: Wrath of the Holy Spirit!"

A violent wind blew under the dark clouds, and the wind gathered and rotated in all directions, gradually forming a waterspout. Huge waves churned on the sea surface, and the huge waterspout rose straight into the thick clouds, like one engine after another. The pillars of the sky supported the black sky that was flickering with lightning, creating a doomsday-like scene.

The golden beam of light went straight to the due east, lighting up the light group in the due east.

"We shall wear God-given armor against the violence of the devil. We shall learn God-given wisdom against the wiles of the devil. We shall use truth as the sword of the Spirit, and righteousness as the armor of the Spirit, Fight the devil with salvation as a helmet, faith as a shield, and the gospel of peace and prayer as a rocket that can destroy the evil one. We will watch and pray for peace for believers. The fifth God will Alfred Red Irene Dupont, in the name of the Creator, bless the saints!" Alfred Irene Dupont's solemn cry resounded throughout the world, "Holy Word: the mercy of the Holy Spirit!"

A rain of light poured out from the dark clouds, and those rains of light fell on the superhumans to heal their wounds and make them braver.It fell on the cyborgs, but it produced corrosion, rusting through their mechs and making them weak.

All kinds of resistance slow down the movements of the chosen ones, just like the flow of time has also slowed down.Slowness can't stop the Tai Chi Dragon's front from going to the brink of collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And above the sky, the fifth god returned the beam of light shot by Alfred Irene Dupont back to the light group due north.The last node together with , forms a giant diamond-shaped cursor.Looking down from a high altitude, under the reflection of the boundless sea of ​​NF, this rhombus looks like a distant constellation in the universe. It emits majestic brilliance at night and pierces the thick dark clouds.Like a beam of broad noon sun like a lake, it passed through the thick clouds, the torrential light rain, the vast crowd, and shone on the sea.

Cheng Mo and Li Jiting dragged the burning fireball and quickly fell towards this diamond-shaped light cone, like offerings to an altar.

Seeing this holy and terrifying scene, and the diamond-shaped matrix composed of four generals in the dark clouds, Cheng Mo felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart.There is no doubt that the enemy is waiting for them.

No, not them, but him, and him alone—Nebuchadnezzar.

Now he is a man named Li Jiting.
