Chapter 771: A Difficult Choice
He Xie had already gotten the answer he wanted, and he had nothing more to ask.
The question before him now is-
What to do?
He didn't think about what the creator god Iluvita wanted to do, because he could never have guessed.
The fear of God stems from the unknown.
And this kind of unknown stems from the difference in status, just like when He Xie was the emperor, mortals would not guess his thoughts.
Maybe Iluvita was just curiousβhuh? How did a bug get into my bowl and how did he get in? What is he going to do when he comes in?
Maybe he had something more thoughtful.
Who knows?
When He Xie once wanted to kill a person, that person was still grateful to him before he died, and he was full of regret that he died before he left the school, and what a human emperor can do, the gods will only do better.
So, I can't resist.
But He Xie didn't want to put himself on the stage, let the creator watch and study, and finally let the other party decide his own fate.
What worries He Xie the most now is - can't he go?
Could it be that the system wants to change its owner?
Thinking back to all the things that happened in the past, He Xie weighed and deduced various possibilities over and over again in his heart, his face was cloudy, and this expression was seen in the eyes of others, but they all thought he was afraid.
There was a strange expression on Thranduil's face, as if the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad, and as if he was afraid and hateful.
"After the Age of the Two Lights, there was no sun in the sky at that time." Thrandui spoke slowly, "The gods have exiled our ancestors to Middle-earth, leaving us alone to face thousands of years of darkness...... But Morgoth was also the son of God. β
He looked at Ho Xie: "There is only one gesture that God can appear to the world, and that is mercy, and mercy has always appeared in the most desperate moments. Dragon Knight Ho, only when you are desperate enough will God appear to you and let you be redeemed. β
His words were ominous and secretive, but He Xie still felt the complex emotions of the elves who were both fearful, respectful, and resentful of the gods.
In fact, for God, there is no difference between the so-called good and evil, light and darkness, just like his own good child and bear child.
Thranduil's assumption that God should protect the light and hate the darkness was just wishful thinking.
And he thinks that God's attention is not a fatal thing for He Xie, the so-called crying child has milk to eat, as long as He Xie is miserable, the father will still feel distressed.
This is also what he takes for granted.
The problem with He Xie is that he is someone else's child.
Someone else's child...... Can it be the same?
When someone else's child cries, do they have milk to eat?
He Xie looked up at the starry sky and couldn't talk to himself for a long time.
Woowoo......
At this time, the orc army had been completely assembled, and the mammoth army had even begun to charge forward.
In the empty space in the southwest, a huge flame demon with flames burning all over his body was also roaring towards this direction.
In mid-air, three ring spirits hovered on flying monsters, staring at this side from afar with hatred and resentment.
The Great War is already on the verge of breaking out.
Smaug began to shake restlessly, it smelled death.
In such a battle, He Xie himself knew very well that even if the elves sincerely helped him and drove him, the victory or defeat would be five or five.
And if he faces it alone, he is afraid that he will die for a lifetime.
"Is this what you're going to see? Want to see my options? Or do you want to see what I would do if I was cornered? The creator god? β
He Xie had a hundred thoughts in his heart.
He felt that he was making the most difficult choice he was born with!
Pleasing the gods in exchange for their mercy?
Or do you ignore it, do your own thing, have no regrets, and die or die?
Or is it β compromise with the system?
"Master, I have an immature proposal." Smaug restlessly scraped the ground with one paw.
He Xie lowered his head and looked at Smaug.
Smaug made a flattering smile, "Your loyal servant has no intention of questioning your strength, I just want to say, must we be enemies of Sauron?" If it wasn't particularly necessary, perhaps we should go and talk to him in person, and not have to fight his minions at all. β
Legolas' face changed suddenly.
However, He Xie's expression was a little more serious, and he was even obviously thinking about Smaug's words.
"What if you have to fight?" He Xie asked.
"That's right......" Smaug looked back at the approaching army, and quickened his pace, "Master, first of all, declare that your dragon fruit has absolute loyalty to you, your will, will be my direction, as long as your sword is pointing, dragon fruit will definitely not disappoint you." But ......"
"But I have to mention that the magic you cast in my body, it affects my play, it limits my power, and there is a little, I mean only a small one, that affects my loyalty to you......"
Smaug said flatteringly, carefully observing the change in He Xie's expression.
And He Xie just looked thoughtful, which made its heart quite excited, so it said in a more gentle and flattering tone: "If the master can mercifully remove the magic from my body, I think it will make your dragon fruit offer you unreserved loyalty and bravery, and when you fight, you will also have double the strength and bravery." β
Its tone was slightly demagoguery: "Think of my master, a dragon fruit with twice the strength, it fights to the death for you, and dedicates all its loyalty and strength, it will definitely make you even more invincible." β
He Xie looked at Smaug with some confusion.
He knew very well what Smaug thought, it was about to fly separately on the verge of disaster.
Seeing that He Xie was facing so many enemies, Smaug thought that He Xie was more auspicious, but it had a lifeline in He Xie's hands, so it couldn't just walk away, and had to plan for itself in advance.
The timing of its suggestion was very delicate, just when He Xie was facing life and death.
If He Xie rejected Smaug, then with Smaug's character, it is likely that nothing happened, but then He Xie must be careful, because Smaug will definitely try every way to use every opportunity to trap him, and he must not give Smaug the opportunity to turn against the guest.
And if He Xie agrees to Smaug, then there is a good chance that Smaug will also be desperate for Smaug.
But at the most dangerous or critical moment, Smaug would definitely throw He Xie in the midst of the army and leave.
Smaug chose to have a subtle showdown with Ho Xie at this time, thinking that he had pinched He Xie's vein, but in fact, He Xie had a way to deal with it.
This evil dragon is destined to be unable to get rid of the slavery of He Evil.
"Isn't this relationship a bit like yourself and the system at the moment?" He Xie thought in a daze.
"If I'm Smaug, how do I get rid of myself?"
