Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)

"I did not accept this identity voluntarily, but someone must inherit our original intention, right?"

Smith Zhou leaned back in his chair and acted calmly. .Facing his behavior, Stark immediately laughed.

"So, you told me so many old stories, just to tell me that you are the chosen one? Are you the most qualified ruler?"

"This is not for me to decide, Mr. Stark. This is the outcome that humanity truly needs."

With a straightened face and straightened waist, Smith crossed his arms and began to look at Stark in front of him with a stern look.He seemed to be explaining himself, but it was more like he was teaching the man in front of him a lesson.

"Since the time of the First Emperor, I have been in self-exile. The success and destruction of my ideals once made me confused, and I didn't know how to go on this road. For this reason, I left my hometown and set foot on the West The land of the world. There, I saw the folly of Caesar, the arrogance of Nero, the greed of the Pope, and the roots of bad habits that mortal kings can never learn or change."

"Human beings, especially those with shallow eyes. Once they are in high positions, they are like cancer. They put all their energy into intrigues and competing for mutual interests. As for the future of the human race, , but they are never willing to even think about the direction of this world."

"This is true for one generation, and it is true for every generation. Even those kings and masters who are praised as heroes are no exception."

"But there are always exceptions, right? Just like those kings you admire so much. Since humans can give birth to such figures in the past history, they will definitely give birth to similar heroes after that. Such people , wouldn’t he be more suitable to be a ruler than you?”

Stark retorted, but he was not frightened by Smith Zhou's eyes.In his opinion, everything Smith Zhou said was just an excuse, a reason he found for his nascent ambition.He didn't mind tearing off this mask to reveal his naked true face.So his words are very direct.

"Indeed, there will always be such guys among humans, but they will be more suitable than me, which may not necessarily be the case. I have assisted or seen many of what you call outstanding people, but they still haven't been able to escape. The barriers that an ordinary monarch should have."

"It's like saying that I once killed the Celtic God-King, snatched the Sword of Victory from his hand and gave it to the King of Great Britain. Yes, I once assisted him in the name of Merlin, hoping that he could become the King of Great Britain. With his identity, he defeated Rome, subverted the theocracy of Christ, and unified all of Europe. However, he had empty ideals but no means, so that he could not even control his own knights, and eventually died and his country was destroyed."

"As a scholar in the Middle East, I once met the prophet who held a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other. He was a rare smart man who was not lacking in wisdom, means, strength, and ambition. However, even he did not To achieve what I want to see. He is immersed in the dream of becoming a god. He would rather watch his compatriots kneel at his feet and foolishly worship him as a god than to sacrifice himself. Share their wisdom so that they have the ability to open up the future.”

"Zhu Yuanzhang of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, Sun King Louis XIV, these people all disappointed me in the end. They may be wise or wise. However, life span, family affection and various other constraints have made them become like that in the end. It disappoints me. Power is poison, Mr. Stark. When those people hold the golden cup filled with this poison and drink it in one gulp, even if they are not affected by the poison for a while, they will inevitably be affected by it in the long run. Corrupted by this poison. At this point, I can tell you clearly that there are no exceptions. It is precisely because there are no exceptions that I am so disappointed that I have to step forward and take over this heavy burden. .”

"No one needs you to take over this burden, sir. Times have changed. Now is the era of Panzi, and human beings no longer need the rule of those kings you mentioned. We have our own system, and we have relied on our own Strength becomes better. So, even without you stepping forward and without your so-called gifts, we can make our own future. That is not the reason for you to do these things, Mr. Zhou. The things you have done It’s not for humanity at all, but for yourself. You are satisfying your own selfishness. You are an unreasonable lunatic!”

Smith Zhou's narration made Stark feel a little creepy.He didn't believe that there was such a terrifying shadow behind the story he was familiar with, but his reason told him that it was all true.A monster, a ghost from ancient times, is entrenched in their history, constantly trying to change the world in its own way.This terrible fact made him feel worried that he could not sleep just thinking about it.

He realized why this guy could do so many horrible things without changing his expression.Because he has gone crazy, because of the disillusionment of his ideals, because of the torture of constantly craving but never getting.

Stark understands this feeling. A person with great ideals will feel the same when faced with such cruel facts.But the difference is that this guy is different because he has accumulated too much power, and this power is enough to subvert the world.

A madman is not terrible. What is terrible is that a madman has huge power.Stark didn't want to see the world he lived in being led into the abyss by a madman, so he could only muster up the courage to try to wake him up.

"The Era of Dani? Mr. Stark, are you using your talent for humor?"

If he were the kind of person who could be persuaded by a few words, Smith Zhou wouldn't have wandered around this world for thousands of years for an ideal.The long-cherished wishes accumulated over thousands of years have already made him sufficiently paranoid in his heart, and the knowledge brought to him over a long period of time has made it almost impossible for him to be persuaded.When it comes to reasoning, he is no worse than anyone else.So when Stark used the dishonor as an excuse to defend him, he almost immediately laughed at Stark.

"Don't talk to me about warring, Stark. That makes me sick. Don't you understand what the warring people are calling you? Power is just another way to keep it in the hands of a few. In the hands of people. And the so-called cooking is just a pretentious gesture like leftovers thrown out by those in power. Stupid citizens are immersed in this false illusion without knowing it, and even really think that they have power in their hands. It’s ridiculous to the extreme. If power is really in their hands, then why is it that whenever blood needs to be shed, it is their blood and not the blood of those superior capitalists and bureaucrats?”

Smith Zhou's attack on Dazhi left Stark speechless.He is a capitalist and a bureaucrat, so of course he knows what kind of bitch the so-called Danzi is.Westerners have regarded panzhi as a layer of skin that has been worn on their bodies for 200 years.They take it for granted, and even honestly think that this is a dish cooked.But if you tear off this layer of skin, you will definitely not be able to turn a blind eye to how dirty it is inside.Some people might be able to really turn a blind eye to him, but not Stark.Otherwise, he would not have taken such drastic measures to rectify the government and social structure in the country.

But he couldn't bow his head at this time, because if he bowed his head on this excuse, then he would have even less reason to convince Smith Zhou.Therefore, he could only stiffen his neck and continue to talk to Smith Zhou.

"But we are indeed making progress. Yes, I don't deny that the dish has become a cloak for some people. But you can't deny that there are indeed people in this world who are working hard to spread the light of the dish to the world. I I didn't do so much for one person's selfish desires. I changed an entire country, nor did I do it to let false illusions blind everyone's lives forever. Admit it, Smith Zhou. Admit that the world can do it without you. Get on the right track and admit that everything you're doing is unnecessary. You've done too much of those horrible things, those creepy behaviors, and it's time to stop!"

"What I have to say is, Mr. Stark, you really exceeded my expectations. I originally thought you were just a playboy who was good at self-satisfaction. Even if you became a superhero, it was just for the sake of being like a peacock." Show off. I admit that I underestimated you, or I never thought that you would stand up and take over the mess in the United States."

"That was a big trouble. After all, there were too many remnants of the plan. According to the plan, that should be the beginning of the disintegration and separation of the United States, just like the Soviet Union. But what is surprising is that, You stopped that and, with an astonishing determination, changed her and transformed her."

"This is the reason why I am willing to talk to you so much at this time, because I see a trait, a unique attribute in you. Just like Steve said, you are a qualified Leader. It’s just that you have chosen a wrong path now, and what I hope is that you will not go further and further on this path. You need someone to guide you and lead you back to the right path. "

"And you are that person, right?" interrupted Smith Zhou's words. Stark obviously did not have any extra affection for him because of his complimentary words.Because of what he had done before and the crimes he had committed, he was destined not to have any good impressions of this kind of person.

This is something that cannot be changed by mere lofty ideals. No matter how good the ideal is, it is meaningless if the hands are stained with blood.Because the ideal will fade away in a dirty way, and even if it becomes a reality, I am afraid it will only look like a completely different picture.

Stark knew this very well, so he would never have any interest in Smith Zhou's guidance.On the contrary, because of his words, he suddenly thought of other things.

"Also, you should have told that bastard Steve about this. Does he also believe your crazy words?"

"I did say something similar to Steve, but it's different from what you said."

It's not surprising that Stark showed his refusal.If he could simply accept his proposal, would Smith Zhou feel that there was something wrong?It is not an easy thing to convince a proud and awkward person, so after changing to a more comfortable sitting position, he said this to Stark.

"Steve Rogers, I have known him much earlier than you. I have known him when I was a German officer. Of course, we were hostile at that time. But this does not prevent us from speaking frankly. Let’s talk.”

"Exchange what? Exchange experiences of betrayal and massacre of innocent people?"

"Don't get me wrong, Hydra in World War II has nothing to do with me. Hitler was a madman, and Schmidt, who took over Hydra by accident, was also a madman. These two madmen launched An absolutely stupid war, and I have no intention or thought of participating in this completely meaningless war. **Don’t blame me for the bad things Hydra did at that time. . And the communication between me and Steve was also very pure."

After waving his hands, Smith Zhou gave a rough outline of their conversation.

"Exchanges about the future of mankind, exchanges about all the stupid things that humans have committed in that era. Germany in World War II was stupid. He played an evil role and launched a war at the wrong time, whether in terms of motivation or... It was a war in which both opponents were absolutely wrong. There is no doubt about this, except for the fact that at that time I was deprived of authority and at the same time lost all my power. Hitler and Schmidt may not have had the opportunity to make such a fool of themselves. However, this does not mean that Germany played the same role before this."

"Germany in World War I cannot be said to be innocent, and it is definitely not a heinous existence. It can only be said that different countries and different forces used human flesh and blood to fight against each other for their own interests. . And looking back at all the wars in the past, this is almost the case. Justice, evil? This is not important, interests are eternal. And for the sake of interests, the bones of countless people were buried in it."

"So I asked Steve a question. Does he want to continue to be a hero in this kind of war for profit, or does he want to be a different hero for the future of mankind? Of course, I Got the answer I wanted.”

"Just because of this, he joined you damn Hydra and became an executioner with bloody hands? I'm sorry, I don't believe a word of what you said."

Stark still refused, and this stubborn attitude gave Smith a headache.He couldn't help but slap his forehead and asked him with a wry smile.

"If you don't believe this, then what do you believe? Do you believe in your so-called justice, or do you believe in the intrigues and intrigues between your governments, and even the ridiculous wars launched for so-called interests? Mr. Stark , don’t tell me that you know nothing about the ugliness of the government, let alone tell me that the wars launched by you are so glorious and majestic. You regard us as executioners, but what about you yourself? We can still talk about it at least. It’s for ideals, but you are doing it for so-called interests. Isn’t it obvious who is superior and who is inferior?”
