Volume 4 Chapter 11 Faith, Gun God, and Righteous Man (II)
"Let's make a deal—the god of life."
“……”
"I heard you have a book of life—"
“……”
"For me, I don't want your immortal powers, after all, your powers have [limitations]. For me,—— I just want you to stop the resurrection. ”
"W-what."
"Maybe you don't know that your actions have only indirectly helped the Nian Qi God. There is no point in other than that, to use such a dead person as a backing. ”
"It doesn't make sense - you know what you're talking about?"
"Isn't it - all you have done so far is to resurrect the dead, and then these poor people will still be killed one by one."
"That's the spirit of mind——! As long as it can solve his ......"
"You're so optimistic, you've never thought about it. [Why did the spirit of the mind never look for you]? ”
“……”
"He's just going to do it to your resurrected person, and if he wants to put an end to this farce, the best thing to do is to deal with you first. - But why didn't he do that? ”
“…… Because he is a demon who takes pleasure in killing, it is just one way for him to seek a justifiable reason to kill. ”
"Ahaha—killing for pleasure, he may be the kind of person who acquiesces in your resurrection, and the reason for this is that your actions will be beneficial to him."
“……”
"As long as you're useless – he can even wipe you out with a finger."
Hearing this, Su Hongyuan gritted her teeth and looked very angry.
"You're too weak - you only dream unrealistically."
"I don't agree with that."
“……”
"Although the God of Life is very annoying and always makes love to Ah Qin, she is quite good to me."
Qin Qin's body was shining, and in a blink of an eye, she changed into a pink magical girl costume.
It's definitely the fastest drag of any fantasy work.
"It's a demon from the world—long time no see."
The spear god opened his mouth slightly, showing [surprise] emotion, and then bowed as deeply as he had just now.
"I don't remember meeting you.
"But I've seen your kind. I used to work in the 'lab', and occasionally people from the Demon Realm were sent in. ”
"Is it you, bastard?"
Qin Qin stomped his foot angrily, and at the same time, Xiaohong was trembling in my pocket, and the frequency was so strong that I could feel it.
"Super strong - Makai Sumo Jutsu!"
Qin Qin shouted, and a phantom appeared in front of her-
"What's that?"
What did she just say? Makai sumo?
It seemed to be a summoning spell - summoned the apparition in front of her - and-
Qin Qin pounced like a hungry wolf.
So what the hell is that phantom for.
Bang Dong –
They are entangled.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
I stood up with 'fear', and it was bad – unsteady.
How can you leave her alone......
"Why do the demons protect the god of life?"
The spearman broke free and took a big leap towards his head.
"In my impression, since the [Battle of Taoguang], the Demon Realm and the God of Life have been rivals."
The spear god said leisurely.
"You're aiding the abuse."
Qin Qin obviously didn't know what the spear god was muttering.
"Then I'm different. Super Strong: Demon World Donuts! ”
Qin Qin shouted, and then turned back and forth around the spear god.
What is this————
There's not a decent point of skill wow wow ————
Qin Qin's speed of rotation became faster and faster, until an afterimage appeared—and even white light and lightning turned out.
Bang –
The spearhead shoots at one of the points.
"Hmm—why, why can you see it?"
"I'm sorry, you're weak, you can see it clearly."
The spear god said defiantly.
But for some reason, the bullet didn't work against Qin Qin.
"Looks like my magic isn't enough—Ah Qin! Give me a hand! ”
What are you doing......
It's hard to even stand firm now, it's too hard for a strong man.
Bang - Bang Bang -
"I'm not going to play with you, and if necessary, I'm not even going to use [Dread Bullets] and use regular bullets instead."
Without hesitation, and without even waiting for us to finish speaking, the spear god fired three more rounds at Hongyuan, Qin Qin, and me.
It turns out that this is called ...... Dread Bomb.
"Hey, God of Life, your actions are meaningless, I advise you to hand over the Book of Life quickly. Even if it's for the two of them. ”
“……”
Hongyuan's face was embarrassed, and her eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Before that, I want to ask you."
Hongyuan said.
"Please."
"Why, do you think what I'm doing makes no sense?"
"Then I don't need to say—"
"Do you just think that I can't defeat the 'Nian Qi God'?"
"This is one of ......"
"Then as long as you join us! There must be a way to defeat him-"
"Not really. The most critical issue is not with the Nian Qi God. ”
“……”
"And—[Your thoughts are also unjust]."
"Injustice...... What are you kidding, is there anything more righteous than that? ”
"Justice——? Is justice in your eyes the resurrection of those who are already dead? ”
"It's [someone who shouldn't have died]!"
"What criteria is this so-called [ought]" judged?"
“…… Mention of notebook...... There are also observations. ”
"Your notebook is from the Supreme God—in other words, just the self-righteous account of some god."
"[Supreme God] ......?"
"There are four supreme gods in the universe – the god of joy, the god of anger, the god of sorrow, and the god of fear. They are the source of all human powers. My power, the Bullet of Fear that makes people fearful, comes from the Supreme God [God of Fear]. And my name, the God of the Spear, is just a customary title, and after all, I am just a subordinate of the God of Fear. ”
“……”
"Nor does the god of life belong to the four supreme gods. - just an ordinary god under the [supreme god]. In other words, your power is also a gift from a god, and you should be subordinate to a god. ”
“…… Who is it. ”
"Who knows—I'm not the bearer of this power, I may be the god of sorrow or the god of wrath."
“……”
"What I mean is that the life notebook you have is, in the final analysis, something that belongs to [a certain supreme god], and what is written on it is only the will of the supreme god. Those people need to be resurrected, and you're just acting according to the god's intentions—"
“……”
"If anything, it is the order of the resurrection, with reference to your own will. For example, in order to draw out the 'Nian Qi God', you first resurrected two people who had recently died. Their resurrection is bound to cause an uproar, and it forces the Nianqi God to clean it up as soon as possible—you think so. ”
“……”
Hongyuan was silent and did not object to this.
"At the end of the day—all your self-righteous 'justice' is just what you do according to the will of the gods and yourself—is there and is it different from the Emperor? For his own purpose - to give life to others without authorization, in order to draw out the 'mind qi god', he does not hesitate to let innocent people fall into the fear of secondary death. - [In the end, you are also using the dead.] 】”
"You ......"
["How can there be justice in such an act? ”】
The spear god said mercilessly and righteously.
Hongyuan's face was dull, her eyes were hollow, and her lips were trembling slightly. Perhaps it was the effect of the [Fear Bullet], the trembling that distorted her face, and the powerful resentment that made her face red.
For me – and I partially agree with the gun god that an idealized utopia is impossible – but – but, perhaps, this is my personal opinion.
"At least it's better than sitting on the sidelines. ”】
I said relatively calmly towards the spear god.
"The reason why we chose this path is that under the existing conditions, there is no other way. And for you, you can do so much more than we do. You know the behavior of the 'mindful spirit', but you choose to sit idly by. ”
“……”
"What does it mean to give life to others without authorization, life is such a thing, from the moment it appears, it is a natural and beautiful thing. No matter how much you suffer, you should never resent the person who gave you life. Whether it's your father or your mother. ”
“……”
"If you don't understand even the simplest of these, what qualifications do you have to talk about justice here, is it justice in your eyes to do nothing and stand idly by? Hongyuan's original intention is right - even if the behavior is not right, as a senior, as a more powerful being, all you have to do is change her behavior - guide her on the right path, not cynicism or giving up. ”
I said calmly. - albeit only relatively calmly. But I think I expressed myself as much as I could in this case.
"If only everything were that simple."
The gun god laughed in surprise and raised his gun.
This gun is different from the one just now—the one that the spear god once put on my head—[ordinary gun].
"Danger!"
But he aimed at Hongyuan, and I rushed towards Hongyuan in a hurry.
Bang——!
Blood.
Blood, my body was blood-red.
Bad feeling, but – for me, maybe I'm used to it.
"At the end of the day, all you believe in is the law of the jungle."
I stared at the Spear God viciously.
"What the strong say and do is always right. You want to say that's the only one, and under this rule, you're the one who's strong. There is no difference between you and right-wing politicians who desperately want to maintain the existing order. ”
"Really? I don't want to rap with you anymore. Since I can't convince you, something that can be solved with my fists-"
"Maybe I don't understand what you're saying, but ah- don't forget me, bastard!! You're waiting for these bastards——!!! Super strong: Demon Snake is also! ”
Ahh
I saw her pounce on the spear god, opening her big mouth and trying to bite him.
This is called a greedy snake??!!
"Hongyuan, you run out first, call the police to find reinforcements - I managed to hold him back."
"But ......"
"Go!!"
I yelled, but there was no time.
"Ahh
She nodded, then ran desperately out of the alley.
"Qinzi—"
I rushed over and blocked all the bullets from the spear god one by one.
"I doubt it——! I suspect I'm a bullet blocker! ”
I complained to myself.
"Why, why won't you fall—"
The spear god looked shocked and smacked his mouth anxiously.
"Why—that's why—that's a side effect of being given life [without permission]. People like you must not understand - they must not understand the hearts of those who should not have died. ”
“……”
I kicked the ground and reached out to try to grab him.
He did a backflip, which was a hail of bullets. The bullet was merciless, hitting my body without landing, and the strong recoil made me fall.
Damn, isn't the protagonist in the comics unscathed in a hail of bullets?
Why am I in the middle of nowhere?
Bastard bastard.
How many bullets does his pistol have, could it be that the magazine is connected to a four-dimensional pocket?
"You've me off."
"Then please calm your anger."
I laughed, but my legs still trembled.
"It's despicable, using the Fear Bullet to weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness."
"You're okay, the vast majority of people can't stand up after being hit by the [Fear Bullet]."
"yes—I don't want to stand up right now."
"Ah Qin—transform quickly!"
Qin Qin shouted at me.
"What ——??"
"My magic can't keep up, but if it's you, maybe I can."
Transformation, can you really be like a magical girl - I think it's already going out!
"It's time for my transformer cooldown—"
Hey, hey, I've finally gotten up from my own blood, don't tell me such a bad thing.
I don't want to be a magical girl, asshole. - But if it's the set of clothes that Qin Qin is wearing now, it might be quite cute.
