Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Why not barbaric?

Ignoring the advice of his son beside him, Akharonov knew that he was far weaker than Su Zhou, but he did not flinch at all.

He believed that he was right, so he was naturally fearless. The old general pushed Okorov aside who was trying to stop him, looked up at the four giant dragons, and looked at Su Zhou who lowered his head, his eyes flashing with determination: You've been through wars, and you've known the turmoil of rebellion - Svetrey, you've even failed!

You clearly know that doing this will trigger a rebellion among the nobles, causing many mobile cities to declare independence, and once again start decades of chaos - and by then, the Holy Sun will probably be extinguished, or even the Holy Sun will be extinguished, and the war will begin. It will never end. Because people are so stupid, when faced with a crisis, they will dwell on trivial matters instead of dealing with the real suffering.

Akharonov raised his hand and pointed at Su Zhou: Ignore the final result and blindly destroy everything. What is this but barbarism? The continuation of civilization is the most important thing. As long as most people are still alive, Then giving up part of it is the most normal choice!

Sensing the other party's passionate emotions, Su Zhou shook his head.

But you are wrong.

The four giant dragons lowered their heads, and their scales were like stairs. He walked down step by step and came to the front of Aharonov and his son.

He was holding a large shield, and every step he took on the ground was like an indestructible fortress advancing. Almost everyone lowered their heads. They did not dare to look at the man's figure because it would make them blind, just like looking directly at the sun. .

I was wrong?

Only Aharonov still glared at Su Zhou: Why do you say that? Don't think you can use your power to force me to admit my mistake!

The old man's words contained a noble feeling like a martyr's.

Yes, Sveteri was very strong. The Third Army was completely defeated and their lives were at the mercy of the opponent.

But so what? The other party is just a barbarian with brute force. He has never considered the future of civilization, nor the world situation, or the entanglement between forces. He just patted his head and felt that he was right, so he insisted on interfering with their rescue. world action.

Akharonov is not afraid of death at all. He would even be proud to die for his own way.

But Su Zhou didn't care about his anger, and could understand where his anger came from.

Indeed, according to Aharonov's logic, what the Asmodai Empire did, although all these measures were quite barbaric and bloody, could indeed ensure the survival of civilization.

Su Zhou knew very well that not everyone was like him and had the power to change the world. Most of the time, they could only take advantage of the situation and find a less bad path.

Without power, there is no way to choose the right one - Su Zhou also fully understands why the dependents and families of great beings have the power given by great beings.

Perhaps, that is not a preference or a reward, but a basic condition.

——Because they don’t have the power, let alone realize their wishes and achieve what is right, they are not even allowed to choose a path that is closer to the right path.

Su Zhou didn't blame them for going astray. For a world where there were no time travelers and no miracles, this might be a reasonable necessity.

But they should be self-aware and know that they are on the wrong path, and they should work towards 100% for a 100% paper.

Moreover, they should know what choices to make when faced with the right.

I can save everyone.

Therefore, he spoke as a reminder and said to the old general in front of him: Don't worry about rebellion and independence, and don't worry about troubled times. You don't even need to worry about the dying of the holy sun and the dragon of dusk, because I will suppress all unrest. Follow, and rekindle the holy sun, and rejuvenate the sacred trees.”

I will resurrect the World Tree. As for the Dragon of Dusk, let the old thoughts go away. If you want to remember it, I can remember it alone.

I can do all of this. I can carry the entire Aian world on my back.

At this moment, Su Zhou raised his palms, and layers of phantoms appeared in front of him. Under his power, these phantoms quickly turned from virtual to real.

The man raised his head slightly and motioned for the old general to watch.

——That was around the Xiguang Society. Villages used alchemical creations to cultivate the land and cultivated fields. They were prosperous and developed, and they looked like the shadow of mechanized planting on the earth.

——That was around the Far North Heritage Hall, where ordinary people, whether they were northern tribesmen, Yanshuang residents, or demonized and non-demonized people from all over the world, all gathered together. The scene of comprehending inheritance, practicing and working, supporting oneself while learning source energy skills.

——That is a scene where everyone puts aside their mutual hatred and lives together, striving for the future.

Of course, there is also the sight of the small crystallized tree at the top of the Xiguang Tower, which is shining with the light of the holy sun, and the saplings of the fire-burning sacred tree are growing vigorously.

In one year's time, although the Firewood Sacred Tree is far from mature, even if it wants to become as big as the Banyan Immortal Tree in the past, it will probably take over a hundred years.

However, it is enough to illuminate a large area centered on the Xiguang Mountains, and it can assume the role of maintaining an ecological circle.

In a hundred years, the Holy Sun in heaven will go out, but a new Holy Sun will grow and shine on the world again.

Su Zhou has not changed anything. These are the most realistic pictures, everything that is happening in the Xiguang Association's sphere of influence in the past and present.

He thought Aharonov could tell.

But this is not the end.

Because there was another phantom emerging on the other side of Su Zhou's body.

——Those are the souls of demonizers who are being oppressed by gangs and discriminated against by ordinary people in mobile cities. They are obviously carrying the hopes of their loved ones, but are eventually hunted and thrown into the heart of the source energy furnace.

——It was around a desert ravaged by natural disasters, with many simple buildings and poor people struggling to survive. Without the help of the mobile city, they could only constantly move under the threat of natural disasters and the demon moon, and lived an extremely humble life. Not even worthy of being oppressed and exploited by the nobles.

——That was a child who was doomed to endure suffering and ill-fate when he was born, because he was the son of a demon and was born in a slum. Even if he was smart and did not have demon disease, he was destined to be rejected by others, and he Behavior that wants to gain respect for oneself will be denounced as 'barbaric' by those respectable people who are superior to others.

Because disrespecting the people at the bottom is part of this order. If the untouchables want to respect them, they are destroying the order and destroying civilization.

In the eyes of those decent people who wear plain coats, eat rice and meat, have enough food and clothing, and have no worries about winter, this kind of order is a good civilization, and those who destroy this good civilization on which they rely for a living are barbarians who should be spurned.

There is even such a memory in the phantom.

A mother gave birth to ten children and buried three because she was too poor to feed them. This is very normal for poor families. It is common for a poor family to bury their own children and even abort them in order not to have more children. After all, they have no contraception. condition.

There was also a mother in Uptown. Her child was killed in the riots. During the funeral, she cried very sadly and howled very loudly.

Why are you crying? heard this voice, the slum mother who was washing clothes thought: We have lost so many children, and they have never cried at all.

It wasn't that she wasn't sad for her dead child, but she really didn't think human life was so precious. How could she work if she cried so hard? She still has seven children to raise.

Of course, this is still limited to ordinary people.

And what about the nobility?

When a child of a noble mother dies in the world of Aian, in order to keep her child from being lonely, she will find several children of commoners and poor people to be buried with her to serve as playmates and servants in the future.

Such customs are not even uncommon.

People's joys and sorrows are not mutually exclusive, even if they experience the same thing.

Who is more savage?

What's wrong?

The answer is this social order.

Su Zhou stared at Aharonov who was staring at all these phantoms with his eyes open.

He could see a bit of unquenched light in this old general. He didn't know whether it was because of the kindness in his nature that had not been extinguished, or because of the influence of other people, but he felt that the other party would know that he was wrong.

For the correct, it is certainly a joyful thing to eliminate the error, but if the error can be allowed to admit that it is wrong before it dies, it will naturally be even more joyful.

Because death is not the result.

Just like an online debate, the quarrel may continue until one party gives up and ends the topic, but giving up is not the result. One party admits that he was wrong.

In order to prove that he indeed had this power and was not just talking nonsense, Su Zhou showed Aharonov his power in the Soul-Burning Realm, his past achievements, and then said what he would do in the future. matter.

Su Zhou even showed Aharonov how he would reform in the future: He would use the Far North Icefield and the Yanshuang Territory as the core to ensure the growth of the fire-burning sacred tree, and then carry out step-by-step elimination of the forces on all sides. , suppressing all bad nobles with absolute strength.

He will reform agriculture and create new energy engines. The design of the engine is very advanced. Although Aharonov does not know whether it can operate or whether it is real, after seeing it, he feels that the design is very mature. It's impossible to use it to deceive yourself. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to have this energy to slap yourself?

It turns out.

Su Zhou has a program, a plan, and his own goals.

He followed the steps, walking steadily. He believes that struggle is necessary, but the struggle must find the right method and the right enemy, unite friends, and win over middlemen.

The empire...can't do all this.

Although he still maintains his stubbornness on the surface, in fact, Akharonov's heart has begun to waver.

Because the system of the empire means that they have natural enemies and classes that need to be ruled, and they will have no friends.

Because the emperor is a lonely man, he needs to control his ministers, and the ministers spend a lot of time fighting only for their own interests, rather than for a better tomorrow for everyone.

That's all I'm going to do.

Su Zhou answered all the questions that the old general had asked before, and cut off the other party's path.

Su Zhou thought that Aharonov knew all this, and he would understand.

So, he asked.

Now, generals who think they are civilized, there are two paths in front of you. One is to use demonizers as fuel and treat the people as gray animals. The pace of progress is only for the rights of the nobles and the emperor.

Another one is that everyone is equal. Everyone has the obligation to learn and serve everyone. Everyone can practice source energy and control their own destiny. The pace of progress is for themselves and for everyone. Mai.

Su Zhou held up the illusion of the two roads in front of the stunned Aharonov, and said calmly: As a civilized person, how would you choose?

The old general opened his mouth. His mouth was dry, but he could not speak.

At this moment, Su Zhou finally understood in his heart why even a great existence like two sacred trees, which represented 'existence' and 'continuation', could not defeat the dusk.

He also knew why, although Yala did not argue with Shenmu and even admitted that they were right most of the time, she still refused to fully admit that the other party was correct.

The answer is actually very simple.

Existence is not correct, but reasonable.

Su Zhou thought silently in his heart and sighed.

There is a huge difference between reasonable and correct. There are some in the multiverse that are even more miserable than this world of Aian, indescribably miserable worlds. Their existence must have a reason and are reasonable, but they are not correct at all.

Closing his eyes, Su Zhou couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: Yes... Yala may be right.

Correct, it doesn't exist.

But it doesn't matter.

At this moment, Aharonov raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed. Of course he knew that everything in these phantoms was real. He had seen such a sad world before, so he didn't want to see a more miserable world, so he wanted to maintain it. Today’s civilization needs to ensure the stability of its existence.

But many times, the stability on the continent of Aian is just a stable and inefficient massacre of poor people.

Otherwise, with the size and technology of the Aian continent, it would be extremely simple to feed hundreds of billions of people.

But... Until now, the old general still didn't want to admit it. His white hair was soaked with sweat and hung down on his temples.

Wiping off a handful of sweat, Aharonov struggled and said: But all this is to allow everyone who still exists to live stably!

Hearing this, Su Zhou shook his head slightly.

Civilization is not something superficial like order, stability, continuity and existence... If you really think that civilization is just the thoughts and trends in the world, the accumulation of some cultures, and the combination of some social phenomena, you think the word civilization represents With everything that already exists.”

You will never understand the true meaning of civilization.

——What exactly is civilization?

At this moment, Su Zhou could hear Aharonov's inner questioning.

So he raised his hand, pointed it to himself, and then pointed it to the other person's heart.

Ask yourself.

The man said calmly.

What is your most beautiful vision of civilization? Is it better than what we have now? Is it brighter than what we have now?

Is it more perfect, more joyful, more beautiful, good-looking, cute, and countless times more exciting than it is now?

But that's just imagination, it's unreasonable and doesn't exist... The old general clenched his fists. He had indeed imagined that kind of future, which was unrealistic and never existed.

A world of great harmony.

That's why he denied it through gritted teeth.

That doesn't exist!

He roared at the top of his lungs: An absolutely impossible fantasy...what's the use of knowing that thing?!

So that's what's right.

Su Zhou nodded calmly and admitted.

At this moment, he smiled and looked down at the old general who had lowered his head: Fantasy about 'beautiful things that do not exist', and then take steps towards a 'beautiful future that does not exist'. When millions of people are taking such steps forward, , is the embodiment of the essence of civilization.”

Civilization is not just a noun, but also an adjective - we should be civilized people.

“Innovative people moving towards ‘better’!”

Su Zhou lowered his shield, and the huge crystal shield was filled with light like a holy sun, covering the entire Third Army's battle formation.

Under this light, Aharonov remained silent for a long time.

From the fearless sarcasm at the beginning, to the impassioned later, to the intended retort, and to the final silence, everything happened in just a few minutes.

Four giant dragons stood between the sky and the earth, and the Third Army stayed in place. All the soldiers heard the conversation between Su Zhou and Aharonov. Some of them looked blank and couldn't understand, and some clenched their fists. Feeling outraged.

But at the same time, some eyes were wide open and shocked.

When they understood Su Zhou's words, it was like a bolt of thunder tearing apart the dark clouds and letting the sun penetrate into their hearts.

Even the general beside Akharonov, his son Okorolov, opened his eyes wide.

He subconsciously grabbed his hair, twisting it painfully.

This soldier who only knew how to obey orders suddenly noticed something, that is, all the people they had suppressed and killed over the years, those who they could not understand at all and only found it annoying to make trouble, why? There must be uprisings one after another to resist all this.

He understood, finally understood, but only then did he understand.

Therefore, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Su Zhou stood in front of the generals, but seemed to be standing in front of everyone.

——You should wake up——

——At this very moment——

There was a silent bang in their hearts.

The flames were burning, and the fire that had been ignited in the wilderness before dawn had not yet been extinguished. The dazzling tongues of fire spread through the bushes and turned into scars that divided the plain into pieces.

Looking around at all the soldiers and soldiers of the Third Army, Su Zhou hoped that the flame could also be lit in people's hearts, so that light could bloom.

Although he can regenerate the firewood sacred tree and make the world no longer dark, he also hopes that the firewood can burn in the hearts of everyone on the land of Aian.

That kind of light is the real day, which can illuminate this world shrouded in dusk.

...You, you are right.

In the end, after the old general was silent for a long time, he finally sighed and admitted: Yes, indeed, I was wrong, we were all wrong.

He lowered his head decadently and knelt on the ground with one knee, using the long bow in his hand as a crutch: The reason why we don't change is just because I am a general, Michal is the emperor, and we are all rulers. Who would think about ourselves? Kill yourself?

On the contrary, it's Ilovitz... Ilovitz, he has always been a knight, and only a knight. He doesn't even want to be a noble... Therefore, he is right...

He smiled bitterly, having to admit all this.

Because Su Zhou was powerful and authoritative, he controlled the life and death of everyone in the Third Army with just one thought.

Otherwise, even if he really knew that Su Zhou was right, Aharonov would not admit it. Instead, he would attack Su Zhou, kill him with all his strength, and annihilate his words in the dust.

He would definitely do this - it could even be said that he had done this in the past.

But now, he couldn't pretend not to know, ignore, or turn in, because Su Zhou was right in front of him.

Just because he realized that he would indeed do this, Aharonov felt ashamed at this moment.

Knowing clearly what is right, but still choosing the wrong path, just because it is more beneficial to oneself, despises the dignity of other people.

Only then did he realize that he was so despicable.

Then surrender, taking the entire Third Army with you.

And Su Zhou's voice sounded.

In the past, no one has ever persuaded an entire army to surrender, because no one has ever had absolute destructive power against an entire army. Even in the realm of burning spirits, facing a strong army led by a strong man in the disaster realm, it cannot be said that He is bound to win and will definitely annihilate the opponent.

But Su Zhou was different.

When the man said this, his tone was as ordinary as urging people to go to bed early and get up early: Your strength should be used to create a new world, not to maintain the old world.

Abandon those meaningless glory, your blood should be shed for a better future, and your loyalty should be given to your parents and family, not to a ridiculous emperor.

Somewhere between reality and reality, the four giant dragons that controlled the flow of source energy in the entire northwest wilderness were watching all directions at the same time. No one had a chance to counterattack.

This is the most important.

Su Zhou's power ensured that everyone could only talk to him instead of fighting him.

After six years of practice, he finally accomplished something.

That means everyone in the world can only reason with him calmly.

correct.

At this moment, Su Zhou seemed to remember something again: Also, tell the Sun Emperor that if he is willing to cooperate with me in creating a new world, I will give him a lighter sentence when I judge him, at least he will not eat.

Although he didn't understand what Su Zhou meant when he said he couldn't eat, Aharonov shook his head with gloomy eyes. He clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: No, it's impossible.

Mihar will not change. He is my friend and monarch. I know how stubborn and arrogant he is. He became the emperor just to be qualified to judge everyone, so that no one in the world can point fingers at him.

and.

Having said this, he raised his head and saw a sad smile on Aharonov's expression. The old man mocked himself sarcastically: He is us.

Asmodai XIII is the core of the Sun Emperor, but the Sun Emperor is more than just Asmodai XIII.

He raised his head and looked at Su Zhou, who had solemn eyes. The old general stretched out his hand and pointed at his heart: The Sun Emperor is the will of the empire. In other words.

——It is our will.

An immortal god, a monster of our making.

The god of gathering? The way of [unification]? Or the path of [coordination] of order? Su Zhou was keenly aware of the meaning of Aharonov's words, but could not get the answer.

Because at this time, Aharonov pulled out his sword from his waist, a long sword made of the top-notch ice amber source energy steel.

Surrender. At this moment, he said to everyone.

Then, the old general condensed all the source energy in his body, destroyed his soul, heart light body and source energy core, and then slashed at his head with a sword.

All the struggles in life were denied. He suddenly understood that all the hardships and setbacks he had experienced, all the pain and torture he had endured were meaningless, and all the hard work he had devoted to his life's struggle would be in vain.

He has no face left to live.

--nothingness.

At the last moment of his life, this word suddenly appeared in Aharonov's mind.

It's so nihilistic.

Just for the sake of existence, just for the continuation of the empire, all the evil he did and the hard work he put into living will eventually turn into nothingness with death, especially since this death was his own suicide, which was simply meaningless.

But he had a clear understanding in his heart.

If you want to transcend nothingness, you have to transcend existence, not just to do something to live, but to do something nobler and more correct.

My death is not to atone for my sins, nor to escape. I have no face to atone for my sins, let alone escape.

Before his soul self-destructed, a fleeting fragment emerged from the general's mind.

Death was his last resistance.

Boom, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky.

In this huge shock, in front of the Third Army's battle formation, the mountain giant's heart light body collapsed and disintegrated like a building in an earthquake. Its head fell, and then turned into powdery smoke in mid-air.

——General of the Third Army of the Empire, Duke of Tirole, Akharonov committed suicide in the northwest wilderness.

Because of the intolerable shame and wrong.

Blood spilled all around, and Akharonov's headless body fell to his knees. On one side, Okorelov screamed and cried. He rushed forward and picked up his father's head as quickly as possible, only to find that The other party did not close his eyes even if he died.

He stared at the world.

Su Zhou did not stop the other party's suicide.

Akharonov has committed many crimes. The rebel army where the original owner of his body once belonged was wiped out under his command. The deaths of millions of people in a city can be attributed to his orders, and such an order, The general issued this order no less than twenty times.

When he first entered the world of Aian, Su Zhou was shocked that his student Gasha would actually massacre 20 million people in the future, and felt that he was a real demon king.

But looking at it now, although Aharonov did not kill himself, the number of people who died under his orders was no less than 20 million.

Including those who died due to the tyranny of the empire, this number was even greater than the number massacred by the army led by Tianmu Great Khan.

If you have to be evil, the emperor of the empire is the real devil king and devil emperor.

Therefore, this is the ending that Aharonov deserves, and Su Zhou will not stop him.

But he remained silent, because the other party admitted his mistake before he died, that kind of remorse that seemed to come from a clear understanding.

Also, the information revealed.

Asmodai XIII.

He raised his head and looked at the already dark horizon where the holy sun had set, and the red moon that had just risen.

The remaining spirit of the sacred tree shines upon the world, providing its former blessings and present curses to all life in this world.

Su Zhou clenched his fists and the shield in his hands, with a blazing fire burning in the depths of his doubtful eyes.

Sun Emperor...

He whispered to himself: What kind of monster are you?
