Chapter 962: Self-Knowledge

As he spoke, the Devouring Beast stretched out thousands of radiant tentacles towards Chu Ge.

These tentacles, as if at Chu Ge's feet, weave a golden avenue leading to "eternity" and "supreme".

In the depths of the universe, incomparably beautiful pictures are slowly unfolding in front of Chu Ge.

As long as Chu Ge nodded, he could trample all the heavens and stars under his feet.

Chu Ge's soul, like a lost lamb, has no way to distinguish the direction, and is a little ignorant, and he is about to embark on this road to heaven.

But at the last moment, around the soul, scattered fragments of memory suddenly flickered.

The light of memory poured into Chu Ge's soul, making him find himself again, and his soul became clearer, pureer, and stronger.

"It turns out that the Devouring Beast is such a thing, it's really scary!"

Chu Ge muttered to himself, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to, I refuse." ”

“……”

The Devouring Beast didn't seem to expect that someone would refuse so neatly in the face of the transcendent power that dominated the galaxy, and it was stunned for a long time before it screamed, "Why? ”

"Because, it sounds very difficult, very tiring and troublesome!"

Chu Ge said seriously, "Devouring the Empire, being able to use the power of hundreds of millions of stars to create a 'Super Dyson Sphere', and being able to send hundreds of millions of fleets at every turn to destroy the world - is it too high-tech, wouldn't it be too exaggerated?"

"To be honest, I am a young man who has not studied in a serious university, and my biggest ideal is to control a thousand-ton steel monster, make a few years of money, and then make the wonton shop left to me by my mother bigger and stronger, and create glory again - I know how many pounds and taels I have, and it is already the limit to be able to rampage all the way by chance, and to achieve today's level.

"I'm so full, really, I think that with my ability and pattern, I can become a well-known superhero on the planet, with hundreds of millions of female fans cheering, screaming and crying, it's almost enough.

"Now, you suddenly jumped out and asked me to rebuild what devouring empire, wow, this ideal is so great, too lofty, and too slim, I really don't know if I want to rebuild it to the Year of the Monkey, are you tired?

"Anyway, people are self-aware, it doesn't matter if I don't have great ambitions, my ability is really limited, you might as well ask for another master!"

"You-"

The Devouring Beast hurriedly waved its tentacles, "You don't have to worry at all, with my help, you will devour more and more carbon-based intelligent lifeforms, and the emotional fluctuations will become stronger and stronger, until finally, you can destroy the heavens and the earth!" ”

"The problem is, I don't want to destroy the world at all!"

Chu Ge frowned and said, "I really don't understand your thoughts about devouring beasts, the heavens and the earth are good and put there, why do you want to destroy it at every turn?" Even children know that flowers and plants have life, and they can't be picked randomly!

"What's more, even if I really do what you said, step by step, become stronger, reach the level of destruction of the world, and really rebuild the Devouring Empire, so what?

"If the picture of the universe I just saw is correct, the last Devouring Empire was drilled into the core by a golden virus covered with flagella, which stirred up the entire energy output control system and made a mess, causing countless stars to turn into black holes and completely collapse the Devouring Empire, right?

"In other words, even if the Devouring Empire is really as strong as you say, it still has weaknesses, and it has been wiped out by a guy who is stronger than the Devouring Empire, right?

"If I'm going to help you rebuild the Devouring Empire, I'm going to have to face such a supreme powerhouse - excuse me, why would I do such a suicide thing, I'm sick?"

"No, no, no, you don't understand, you won't meet this destroyer, because it's a different timeline, it's a long, long time ago, and you even have a chance, dance the wings of a butterfly, set off a storm across the timeline, and completely destroy this guy before he is born!"

The Devourer said excitedly, "Think about it, think about it again, the power of the Xemeral—"

"I feel like I'm strong enough."

Chu Ge said seriously, "I've been thinking about this question recently, my strength is gained by absorbing the shock of others, that is to say, if I want to pursue stronger power, I must let more people know me and have a strong sense of shock and admiration for me.

"The problem is that the more people are shocked by me, they will become very curious about me at the same time, and they will snoop on my privacy, so that I have no personal space and no time.

"It's like now, yes, relying on you and the help of nanomachinery, my combat power is to reach the top 100 in the global combat power rankings, yes, but the price is that I have become a high-profile mascot, every day there are two projects to discuss, several speeches to be made, several TV shows to be on, and when I go out for dinner, I will meet thirty or fifty reporters and three or five hundred fans, at all, I can't find the slightest gap, I can go and talk to female fans or something!

"I thought about it for a long time, and found that if I continued like this, I would not have a life of my own at all, and I would completely become a slave to power.

"So I think that manpower is sometimes poor, and there should be an end to breaking through the limit, I am afraid that if my strength continues to be stronger, I will lose more and more the feeling of being a human being - maybe some people just like to dominate the stars, dominate the universe, and can extinguish thousands of suns with a snap of a finger, but I'm not, I'm just an ordinary earthling, I can protect the earth, protect the current life, I'm very satisfied."

"Bastard, I paid such a big price and took so many risks to get out."

The Devouring Beast gritted its teeth and grimaced, "It took so much effort to give you such a powerful power, and it was easy to cultivate you to the point where you could withstand the second stage of the Devouring Beast's form, you were so willing to fall into it, do you want to choose to give up halfway?" ”

"Yes, that's why I said, let you ask another master!"

Chu Ge's soul became clearer and clearer, and many of the questions that were originally shrouded in fog suddenly became clear, "However, I'm afraid that you are probably the type that once you bind the host, it will be difficult to transfer to others, otherwise you won't grind your teeth with me."

"And you probably wouldn't have been able to directly control my soul and force me to do anything—or you would have done it a long time ago.

"Let me guess, is it because you were escaping the devouring empire of Honkai, and when you 'crossed the timeline', you consumed too much power and lost too much critical information?

"By the way, you just mentioned that you are a 'seed', I think, the seed of any creature or civilization should not have too much power, right?

"On the other hand, if I really believe your nonsense, indulge in chasing powerful power and can't extricate myself, and really let you evolve into some 'second form', if you don't do it well, it will make you awaken the ability to 'transfer' and 'control', and together with the seven billion earthlings, you will completely become your slave!"

“……”

The Devourer was silent.

The inhuman "faces" like gods and demons are full of shock.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Chu Ge smiled and said, "Although it is true that you, as an absorber, will not emit shock energy, but in recent days, I have tried to combine the surge of shock energy with the management of facial micro-expressions, so as to spy on other people's minds and see through their lies."

"Now you, all over your body, are full of annoyance, shame and anger, so, die this heart, I won't do what you want!"

The Devourer was silent for a long, long time.

It seemed to be poked in the sore spot by Chu Ge and turned into a ball of dead snakes curled up.

"So, why are you going to fight without me?" By the end, it asked through gritted teeth.

"My ...... Fighting? ”

Chu Ge fell into a momentary loss of consciousness.

Immediately, he smiled again.

If this question is asked to oneself who has just obtained the Devouring Beast, perhaps, he really can't answer it, and will think that only shock energy is the only source of power.

But now.

After two years of thrilling battles.

After seeing so many heroes of all kinds, and fighting alongside them.

Even, after knowing so much power, he didn't even have much power, and he didn't even awaken his superpowers, but with courage, daring, blood and will, he did extraordinary deeds in ordinary positions, and did his best to protect the land under his feet and the unsung heroes of everyone around him.

Chu Ge felt that he could already puff out his chest, straighten his waist, and answer this question in a dignified manner.
