Chapter 262: The Meaning of Saving the World
The breath of civilization.
As soon as the emperor inhaled the hot instant noodles, tears were about to fall.
Yes? Why instant noodles?
yes, why?
Probably because one has lived for too long, it is impossible to live without instant noodles, which have been engraved deep in the DNA.
"Electric ...... And the water...... I've only seen ...... in books."
Merlin's shock hasn't been lifted yet.
A room with a scent, convenient electricity and appliances, a faucet that comes out of the water when you turn it on, and a bathroom that overwhelms her......
She had never believed in the existence of the legendary Valhalla or the Kingdom of Heaven, but today all perceptions were almost upside down.
"Anyway, let's eat something first! Although there are only convenience stores...... I won't cook rice either...... Ahhh ”
Si Ming hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, and when he thought of the squad leader's cooking skills, his saliva kept gushing out, so he quickly grabbed a lot of potato chips from the bag and stuffed them into his mouth to satisfy his hunger a little.
"Really...... Can you eat it? ”
Merlin sat honestly like a good girl, as if they were two people, because most of the things that looked like food had never been seen, so he grabbed the rice ball that looked most familiar, and carefully unwrapped it.
"There are a lot of types, and if you don't eat the rice balls, it's okay, it's not good."
The rice balls in the convenience store belong to the things that the emperor usually can't think of buying, and the only impression is that they are expensive and not delicious, and he has the impression that girls should prefer sweets.
"It's okay! It's already ...... Hey? Rice...... Is this the taste......
After taking a bite, Merlin's already softened expression stiffened again.
"Hey! It won't spoil, right? Here's something! ”
Huang Taiyi hurriedly knocked on the head of the boss.
"How is that possible! It will disappear before it deteriorates, so that I can be healthy...... No problem, it's ordinary. ”
Si Ming began to close his eyes and chew.
Indirect kiss?
"No...... Such an aroma...... It's completely different from what I know...... Why is this the ......?"
Merlin chewed the simple rice balls, as if enjoying some rare delicacy, and tears gradually flowed out.
"Ah, is it because the varieties of grain are different?"
Huang Taiyi has never seen the finished crops cultivated on the wasteland, at most he has only seen the fields, it seems that the grain is also controlled by the local forces and uniformly manufactured into products that can be stored for a long time, and there are probably only a few people who can enjoy fresh food, since they can grow in the barren fields, the taste must also be discounted and exchanged for a relatively high yield.
"Hee-hee, it's delicious."
Si Ming felt that Merlin was probably eating happily, and he was happy with him.
"Yes...... If there is such a thing...... It will definitely save many people who can't get enough to eat! This kind of thing can definitely be done, right? Is it at any cost! If it works, I can do anything! ”
Suddenly, Merlin rushed up excitedly and grabbed Si Ming's hand, begging her with tears in his eyes.
She has seen countless ordinary people living in dire straits, those people even want to live, and they don't even know if they will have life tomorrow, and the world intertwined by one tragedy after another makes her extremely disgusted, so she wants to be a sword to save people.
Today, he suddenly found an opportunity that might really be able to free everyone from the sea of suffering, and Merlin has decided that it doesn't matter if it is to exchange his soul.
"That...... Although there seem to be a lot of things, it is impossible to create them infinitely, after all, the essence is the energy transformed into divine power, and now even I can only maintain the status quo, and I can't create anything again, I'm sorry...... Melly Mellie......"
Although she is mentally retarded most of the time, she has a sudden sensitivity to a person's emotional flow, and knows that Merlin's agitated emotions are completely visceral, so she responds very formally.
But Huang Taiyi still doesn't know when the title of her evolved to Melly Melly, won't there be a problem with the copyright? Although only a small number are more suspicious......
It's better to pretend you don't know.
"Can't you...... Even the gods who came to earth could not do it...... Why? Why do they have to struggle and suffer in such a world! They obviously didn't do anything wrong! Why just watch! ”
Merlin's emotions began to get out of control, and the light of hope that had just burned in her pupils instantly turned gray, she also knew that Si Ming would not lie because of such a thing, but the pain caused by the disillusionment of hope was beyond the limit of her patience, although she knew very well that she had no reason or right to accuse anyone, and she knew that no one had such an obligation.
The emotions in my heart still exploded uncontrollably.
More than pain, there is a deep despair.
The pain of not being able to save anyone has been experienced again and again, and each time it has not been as desperate as it is now.
"I'm sorry, but that's not something I can interfere with...... Drift away from different worlds, let the flow of fate connect with each other and activate to create new power...... That's all I can do, no, I can't even do that now...... It's not my job to create or anything like that, it's just an equivalent exchange that consumes divine power...... It's disappointing, isn't it...... I'm a little self-conscious about this kind of thing...... That's why Ah Tai often calls me stupid...... I know ......."
Si Ming uncharacteristically began to autize, lowering his head and speaking quietly, probably because the retarded behavior again and again finally caused a backlash, and the super consciousness that dared to continue to make mistakes always failed in the end.
It's all the truth, it's true, Huang Taiyi was extremely surprised because of Si Ming's honesty, I didn't expect this person to really have the consciousness that he is mentally retarded, although it doesn't make any sense just to be conscious, it's useless not to correct it after all.
"No...... I'm not blaming the little life...... Originally...... It turns out that you are also working so hard...... I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry ......."
Merlin's tears fell to the ground, and he began to blame himself for yelling at him.
"Whew...... I said, "If, just if, if you could really get God to save all people, would you really make such a wish?" Do you really think this is the right path? ”
The emperor sighed, knowing that it was time to speak for herself.
"Huh? Of course that kind of thing ......."
Merlin opened his mouth, only to find that his answer didn't seem so firm.
It is her lifelong hope to be able to save everyone, but under the questioning of Huang Taiyi, she suddenly lost her confidence for some reason.
That may be happiness, but it is a very dubious happiness.
"This is fundamentally contradictory to your ambition to save the world, suddenly you get happiness from the sky without thinking about anything, and there is no difference between people and livestock who indulge in happiness, anything that is not obtained through their own struggle is false after all, and once human beings become like this, it will not be far from extinction."
Huang Taiyi didn't dare to say how much he understood human beings.
But he always insisted on his point of view that no matter how painful it was, it was the courage and perseverance that allowed humanity to evolve into what it is now, so it deserves respect.
"But that kind of thing ......"
Merlin immediately understood what Huang Taiyi was saying and understood what he was trying to say, but that kind of thing was still too cruel and no different from the jungle, although it was true that humans could not escape the cycle.
"Therefore, I think that human beings can only be truly saved if they awaken their consciousness of saving themselves, just like the kind of thing called fate, it is acceptable to accept nature, however, the ultimate victor is destined to rebel against fate and reverse fate."
The imperial lady glanced at Si Ming and said.
Si Ming nodded very approvingly, as a god who knows the power of fate, she understands better than anyone what the power and meaning of flowing fate is, which is also the meaning of her work.
"Even if you have great power...... As long as people's hearts are not awakened, the world will never change...... That's the truth...... Isn't there any point in learning the king's hegemony? ”
Merlin shook his head as he recalled the Legion of the Scholars he had seen, trying to banish the memories that would forever be intertwined with the raging fire.
"No, of course that kind of thing makes sense, after all, there will be people who will awaken new consciousness and new strength because of the war, and all this will become the cornerstone of change, but this process will last for a long, long time, and there is no guarantee that there will be a day when you will see this moment, but I believe in hope, wait, and believe in hope."
"That's right! I thought so too! ”
Si Ming hurriedly picked up the words when Huang Taiyi's words just landed, and the eyes wandering around seemed to indicate that she didn't understand anything.
Forget it, it's the norm anyway, and it's time to get used to it, and it's normal to not understand.
"In fact, as long as your sword is always willing to wield for the weak, it is enough, as I said before, maybe one person's strength can't save everything, but at least it can protect the person in front of you."
Huang Taiyi understood the uneasiness in Merlin's heart, especially after seeing some people with strange abilities, the gap between the original self-confidence and the fall could knock a person down in an instant.
"Whew...... I understand! I'll keep doing it all the time! Whether it's in cultivation...... Still...... Still in love! I'm never going to hold back again! ”
Merlin's cheeks turned red with a sudden.
"Wow! Melly, what a girl! ”
"Less...... Girlish! Wait a minute! Why do you say such a thing! ”
"I just think that's a good fit!"
"How can there be ......?"
……
Looking at the two girls who were as harmonious as sisters, the emperor couldn't help but show the smile of his old father.
However, this is only a short break.
The end of the journey is far from there, and the rest of the road is completely unclear, at worst...... You might as well use your power to be a villain to unify the world.
I don't want to do anything like that.
