Law of the Swarm

Chapter 439

For some reason, Paul thought of himself when he was young.

Although that time only occupied a small part of his life, it was that time that left the deepest impression on Paul's mind.

Paul was born in the east of the kingdom of elves, a small village where dwarves and humans lived together. His father was a lame blacksmith, and his mother was an ordinary peasant woman.

Paul remembers growing some cabbages at home and raising a ground beast.

In his memory, every time he secretly fed the cabbage to the ground beast, the ground beast would roar twice, and he would laugh non-stop.

Later, his father became seriously ill, and the land beast disappeared.

Paul was only seven years old at the time, and he didn't understand at all. He just kept crying to his mother and father who was seriously ill in bed, trying to find the "big strong" at home.

Later, Paul's memory was a little fuzzy. His mother seemed to follow the mayor's advice. As a result, he left that town and came to the Hunting God Cult, where he was called a genius.

When Paul was 15 years old and returned home again, he found that not only his seriously ill father, but also his mother had died.

He then returned to the Cult of the Huntsman and asked the Bishop of the time.

The bishop told him that as long as the great hunting god Helding was resurrected, everything would be all right, and he believed it at that time.

As his strength grows, Paul becomes stronger and stronger, and he can gradually obtain the oracle given to him by Helding.

Afterwards, he has been acting in accordance with Helding's oracle.

Until that day, he came to the City of Golden Bananas, assassinated Archbishop System, and then met Sister Mantis, his life changed drastically.

Although he has always followed Sister Mantis to do things, he has gradually learned to be lazy from Sister Mantis. As long as he finds the secret of laziness, he can hide from Mana, the God of Krypton Gold, and the vicious Golden Banana Archbishop System. .

From then on, Paul knew that he was just living as a marionette.

Paul remembered a film he saw on the Krypton Gold Forum a few years ago - "May the world not be fooled, and may the world not be enslaved".

The video was sent to the forum by Archbishop System of the Golden Banana.

In the film, System talked about the status quo of the human nations, as well as the status of dwarves, gnolls, elves, and other things.

System said a lot of things that he half understood.

Archbishop System talked about the importance of acquiring knowledge—knowledge can not only be used as a medium to gain power, but also allow intelligent creatures to have a deeper understanding of the world. Only in this way can people learn to truly judge right from wrong.

Paul now still remembers the last few words that System said in the film.

"...Don't just listen to what others say to you. You have to witness everything with your own eyes. If you can't witness it with your own eyes, you have to try to understand and analyze it.

Everything is like this, you must learn to question what I say, and you must also learn to question what the god of krypton gold Mana conveys.

I hope that you will no longer passively accept, but actively understand, and know what you really want, and then one day in the future, you will also understand what I am saying now. "

A month ago, Paul might not have understood it, but now, he suddenly understood something.

Paul discovered that since birth, his own will has been controlled by others. He was controlled and deceived by Helding in the Hunting God Cult. When he was in the Golden Banana City, although he was happy later, he still obeyed the orders of the Mantis Sisters. .

Even after becoming a legend, he has always been a person without his own opinions, and he likes to follow other people's orders.

……

Paul looked around blankly, and then looked at August, the heroic spirit in red who was still trying to stand up on the ground. Maybe August could order him to attack the demigod Odd who appeared in the sky.

However, in the process of Paul's thinking, the expressions of the bewildered people around him gradually became richer, and a slightly noisy voice appeared.

A female elf bent down and asked August about her injuries; the two humans began to discuss because of the failure of the [data template]; and a dwarf who did not understand the situation heard the two humans After speaking, he suddenly yelled at the figure in the sky...

Not long after, the white light spots in the sky slowly fell on his body along with the snowflakes, and Paul suddenly felt a tingling pain in his head.

The tingling is not very strong, and Paul, who is a legendary rank, can still bear it.

But besides him, many intelligent creatures around were wailing loudly, and Paul even saw the dwarf who just yelled loudly rolling on the ground in pain because of the pain in his brain.

And as the tingling sensation disappeared, Paul found that the [Data Template] he had just been unable to activate could no longer be activated at all, because the [Data Template] had disappeared.

The demigod Odd in the sky made an unhurried voice, which was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"In order to prevent you from continuing to be fooled by the evil god of the abyss, I will eliminate the power given to you by the evil god and return this world to its proper order."

Odd's voice seems to have a unique magic power that can make people unconsciously convinced.

However, when the pain in his mind disappeared, and after the initial daze and doubt, the people of Golden Banana City glared at the figure in the sky one after another.

Although the figure looked extremely powerful, the words spoken were also convincing.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and destroying the [data template] is even more hateful to the people of Golden Banana than cutting off their wealth.

It's like in an originally dark world, someone brought light to this world and gave people eyes to see the light, but when people got used to the light, someone suddenly appeared and made the light of this world disappear.

And this person also said to them-I turned off this light for your own good, and your eyes shouldn't exist in the first place.

The people of Golden Banana simply could not accept what Ord said.

For the people of the Golden Banana Federation.

[Data template] is a tool for them to store wealth, a way for them to acquire knowledge, something they must use for communication, and a way for them to acquire power...

[Data template] has covered all aspects of people's lives, and is closely integrated with people.

Most importantly, after so many years, users who use [data template] are no longer so ignorant.

They have gained eyes that can see the light, and can tell which is better, the colorful world or the dark world.

……

In Paul's sight, two fiery dwarves ran out from a nearby building carrying a bazooka, and launched it directly at the figure in the sky.

boom! !

Violent flames appeared in the sky, and the rocket fired by the dwarves had not touched Odd, as if it had hit something and detonated. The two dwarves stomped their feet angrily, and cursed at Odd in the sky.

The next moment, two white rays of light descended from the sky and shone on the dwarf.

The dwarves were still jumping angrily with their mouths open, but their hands were bound by the white light, and they couldn't make any sound from their mouths.

Although unable to raise their hands, the two dwarves cooperated to pick up the bazooka and aimed it at the sky again.

But it was followed by two white beams of light.

With the falling of the white beam of light, the two dwarves had completely lost their vitality and died.

At the same time, a continuous white light appeared in the sky, and all the golden banana people who resisted and abused Aode would be irradiated by the white light, and then they could not make a sound, their bodies were restrained, and some people who resisted fiercely lost their lives completely. life……

……

Ten minutes later, the entire Golden Banana City was silent.

But at this time, the happy carpenter Paul has found what he really wants to do. For the first time, he raised a delicate mahogany crossbow for himself.

However, before he could shoot the arrow, Paul suddenly discovered that Odd in the sky disappeared together with those celestial creatures.

With Ord disappearing, Paul's legendary power is also restored, but his [data template] is still completely gone.

"Odd has gone to the south, do you want to go with me?"

Just as Paul was wondering, a neutral voice with a unique charm sounded in Paul's ears, and he fell to the ground. The immobile red-clothed hero August had regained his strength and stood beside him again...
