1117. Undercurrent
Gudos's voice was low, vague, and whispered.
But it could not stop Quintasa's powerful hearing, which sounded extremely clear and shocked his consciousness.
"A long time ago... a voice from the darkness told me that the world cannot be too comfortable and peace has no use...
And after a long time of peace, we forget about disaster.
People are afraid of fear and need hope. If there is no danger in the peaceful and prosperous era, some danger will be created, and human beings will regain awe. The lost master will eventually return, and the era of rule under my command will come, and all empires will regard me as the king of gods. Whether it is human beings or aliens.
My great cause is under the continuous ice of this mountain range, where unparalleled creation is buried. It is a world-destroying weapon that destroys all enemies. I will wait for one day to break out of the ground and see the light of day again!
That voice told me that I had to find it."
"Creating danger...? Are you crazy?"
Quintasa's heart skipped a beat, she let out a silent cry, then widened her eyes in panic, and a hissing sound came from her throat.
He was stunned and didn't know the human in front of him at all - was Gudos a genius who was good at planning or a cynical madman?
It seems that there is only a line between a madman and a genius.
Quintasha can fully understand this because he has had personal experiences.
It's like a blurred background sound, which is automatically ignored for normal people quickly, but in the ears of a madman, it's like someone talking to him, and he will feel that everything around him is related to him.
Gudos's words made Quintas vaguely sense an extremely dangerous aura.
He felt like a willful child, bound by his hands and feet, and was resentful to his elders because he could not get rid of the uneasiness in his heart.
"Do you know what you said?" Quintasha asked.
"Oh."
Gudos glanced at him absent-mindedly. Although the words were very quiet, they were just for Quintasa to hear.
He said lightly, "Of course I know. I also know that those things are enormous and can be shared by everyone, and will completely evolve the world."
"But I don't understand, why do you think so?"
"Is it a natural excuse to kill innocent people?"
Although he could not see through Gudos at all, Quentasha still mustered up the courage to question Gudos with her innocent beliefs.
"What you said is that no matter what is incomparable in this mountain, it is very dangerous to hand over these things to the general public. Any unknown knowledge needs to be accumulated, and a large number of people need to constantly verify it and understand the actual effect before it can be widely used."
"Ha, listen, what a ignorant and ridiculous thing!"
Gudos squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, and then his face instantly covered with a cold and cold look.
"What do you know?"
"Did my creatures start to doubt me? Do you think I am a devil, right? That's because I have been living in hell, and I know so many secrets that no one can match!
Some people can be secrets in the eyes of some people, but because they have never heard of it, they are denied like this?
Tsk, do you think what I am looking for is for those idiots in the Empire? They are not worthy at all..."
Gudos paused, took a step towards Quintasa, stared into the eyes of the other party and said, "Our position is different. You are just a general, and I must become the God King!"
"No! I'm not a general, I just...I'm..."
Quintas was not frightened by Gudos' momentum, but he stopped halfway through his words. He suddenly realized that he actually didn't know what he was.
What is an artificial life?
Monsters, humans, alien races, or livestock that are at the mercy of people like mules and horses?
He obviously does not belong to any category.
"Ah hahaha--" Gudos laughed wildly again.
"Ha, have you finally noticed it?"
"You, what did you say?"
"You know very well...all the morals, laws, and good and good qualities you know are deformed ideas formed by them from their own standpoints, and instilled in their people and their creations when they rule the empire.
And you just accepted these concepts unknowingly.
In other words, the concept of consciousness you have is nothing but imposed on you by humans.
Don't refuse to admit it, what do you think their values are based on?"
"I don't……"
Faced with Gudos' aggressiveness, Quintas was speechless and could not refute.
Because he knew that Gudos was telling the truth, at least part of it.
Gudos continued to say sinisterly, "You don't know, right? Looking at the rules and laws you know a hundred years later, the rules and laws you know will be replaced and become another product of the era of distorted value. Their essence may or may not change, and in the final analysis it is theirs.
But you have to understand that this is not something you really need to learn.
Open your eyes and look at the world. You will see where you are, and then make a decision whether to inherit these things.
Not to mention the people at the peak of power, even those women in the imperial palace and the nobles who are looking for joy in beds, they can see these boring methods more thoroughly than you.
Let me give you another secret - you and I are actually all outlaws.
No huge empire or dynasty can have any legal constraints on powerful people like you and me.
The blood on the hands of those powerful people is no less than that of you and me. They can kill their siblings in order to compete for a vain property. They can also lie on their comfortable bed, move their fingers, and destroy a hostile family and everyone. They can even let thousands of people be buried with their own desires without bloodshed. With just one sentence, they can let thousands of people be buried with their own desires!
In terms of evil, no one can compare to these nobles, do you know?
Over the years, they have been both the makers and controllers of the rules of the game, as well as cowards and eternal cowards. I followed the public opinion and let them create gods, and they agreed, because they dared not give up their status, money and vague identity and fiction.
Now, do you understand?"
"Um--"
After hearing these words, Quintasa was completely in deep thought, with only the irritating sound of the cold wind blowing in her ears.
Obviously, Gudos was not satisfied with Quentasha's hesitation and decided to force him further.
"You think that if you have a sense of self, you can lower your eyebrows and eyes, do things for them, such as humans without thinking, and act as a pawn?
Ha, in fact, in their eyes, you are just a one-piece tool in the Game of Thrones, throw it away after using it. Do you understand? Do you think it is worth it to build a solid palace for them in your name?"
Quintasha's heart was surging like a tide.
