Chapter 271: What is Human Nature?
"It's too early to say that you are ambitious. The mythical plan of the 22nd century is near, and we, as dukes, cannot escape this predetermined fate, but it is undeniable that I have no intention of changing my fate. ”
"It's a pretty simple admit. Well, I don't think I need to ask why you continue to waste your time on me when I rejected you. ”
“……”
"I've heard too much of the tirades that have nothing to do with [us]. So, I now want to hear more about what I should hear. ”
Changed his tune - Mitya used the word "we" and other words only for herself, her sisters and witches, but now she treats Baal and the others as her own, but it is not yet time to relax.
The other party can come up with the idea of appreciation in such a short period of time, and it can also be taken back immediately.
It seems easier to communicate, but in fact, the road is more precipitous. Here, you have to think about the wording.
Baal scrutinized Ashtaroth and Lorotandin and motioned for him to leave the rest of the matter to him.
Although Yastalu was unwilling, she should have done a good job of psychological construction. Baal believed that his wife was not such a cautious person.
"Midia-sama, what do you think of humanity?"
"What?"
Mitya was stunned - sure enough, in terms of on-the-spot reaction, this witch was not enough, the previous pairing and singing were actually the script laid out over the years, and it was also her personal experience.
Baal was not qualified to speak in this regard, but he was very confident in whether he could control the big picture, because he was the king in the first place.
"As the chief witch, you have no data on your abilities and potentials at the time, and it is precisely because you are the first discovery of Eden that you can get the method after that, and master the countermeasures."
Baal skipped most of the opening lines and went straight to the point improvising, which seemed to cause Mitya to be uncomfortable for a while. However, once these words have been regurgitated, the charm should be discovered.
As expected, Mitya had listened and nodded to continue communicating.
"So you became the initial victim, and let the later Chosen Girls be stigmatized as witches, sisters, etc., in order to make up for these innocent girls, you decided to like them, so that they all know that there are still people in this world who are willing to care about themselves."
- This is what Mitya can do, after all, the scale of Eden is even higher than THE 5, even if it is given by God, it has to be surrendered to their feet. The banished country is the best proof of this.
"While we still don't know why Eden did this, you certainly saw the darkest of human nature—the truest of it."
Mitya endured the trembling of her lips, the skin on her face became twitching, and her originally beautiful face was changed because of her emotions.
However, there was no physical reaction to Baal's peeling off of her skin bit by bit. Powerful power must be a double-edged blade, whether it is used in advantageous or unfavorable aspects, in the end there is an oppressive force, and the greatest sense of oppression is......
"It should also include the people you love and value."
"Enough!"
The heart-rending sound came to the fore, shaking Baal, and the pleasure of splitting through his body - but it was only the preconceived impression of the terrifying power of the witch in the human heart.
He's still alive, but seems to have angered Mitya.
Jijana, who was holding on outside, sensed the danger and hurried in, and Baal secretly stopped her progress with a gesture.
The situation became abnormal, but Baal felt that he had to continue—an obligation, and a responsibility.
"It's not what you wanted, and it wasn't anyone's plan, but it happened, so you were very uncomfortable, and when everyone was pointing their knives and guns at you, Mitya, you were powerless - you wanted someone to keep you company, even if it was just a cheer."
“…… You're right, I was really overwhelmed at the time......"
"In fact, we are the same, we all have incredible power, and we have to go to the fate of being used, jealous, and exiled by people. Otherwise, we have no reason to be taken seriously by the world. ”
"Do you mean the power of the duke?"
"That's right. But there was a defining difference between us, and I was lucky to have a group of wives, friends, and confidants around me who were willing to value me. ”
“…… The last two are the same thing. ”
Mitya couldn't help but smile bitterly, compared to the excitement before, she was not so sad at this time. Baal's tone also changed, and he regarded Mitya as a friend to confide in his heart, and let go of the superfluous restraints and talked eloquently:
"It's different. Friends still have a part. ”
"For example?"
"To me, Mist Blade is my friend, but Ryuji and I will call him a confidant. This is not a difference in the length of time of acquaintance, but a division in terms of [me]. ”
"What does this have to do with your ambitions?"
"Ambition is what Mitya said. But I do want to change this situation, this fate. Liwu has given our Duke these powers, isn't it just for this moment? ”
“————”
…… Finally put all the conversations together. Mitya gasped, her eyes refusing to leave Baal.
“…… Having said all this, Baal, I still can't grant your wishes. ”
"I know."
"It's not that I don't have the will, but you're challenging Eden, challenging the one that's enough to banish me—what?"
"I know, so we're going to break your seal today, not for this purpose."
Baal earnestly reaffirmed his resolve, and then hastened to reveal his true intentions.
"Then you're going to—"
"Like you, I sincerely hope for peace to come, and think that one day people will be able to understand each other, and there will be no more mustards and pimples. We hope to achieve true peace. ”
"But — that kind of future must be built on destruction."
Baal laughed and said nothing—at first the script came here, and he really wanted to do it, but unfortunately he regretted it:
"So, that future won't happen, and peace — will come."
At this point, the conversation came to an end, and Baal, not wanting to be embarrassed by Mitya, who was thinking about it, left the ruins with Yasherloth and the others without waiting for an answer. Jastaroth whispered to Baal:
"Husband, are you telling the truth?"
Bowing his head and pondering, such a Yastar, Baal did not want to be perfunctory with a smile, and nodded seriously and firmly:
"Of course."
“…… Including a group of wives? ”
"Huh?"
A group of wives - is there some misunderstanding between them? At that time, I had mentioned this to Mitya, but ......
"If you don't deny it, I'll admit it! Actually stammered, Baal! You really stole a woman behind my back! ”
"This must be a misunderstanding! Wife, the person I love the most is you! Let go, I can't breathe! ”
"Favorite...... And there are also ranks! ”
"Wife, what did you say suddenly? Jijana, help me! ”
--
"Yes, we cannot accept your devastating thoughts, Urusova, and the idea we seek is a true peace based on ideals."
The negotiations broke down, and Baal felt that there was no need to act anymore, so he solemnly announced a showdown to the other party.
"That's a shame. So—compared to me, Mitya is more compatible with you? ”
The corners of Urusova's mouth couldn't hide the demonic smile, and she couldn't close her smile from ear to ear, judging from the situation, it was three to one, no matter how you look at it, we have an absolute advantage.
However, the other party is a witch who is tied with Lilith as the fifth sister, and Baal does not feel that he can enjoy the battle leisurely. The outbreak of fighting is bound to lead to bloodshed.
"Master, set up the battle frame, this battle is inevitable."
"It's not clear what she's capable of, from the kind of alien space she just used to swallow us all at once, it would take at least a lot of preparation to do it. Record, get ready for the 10th Legion. ”
