Text Chapter 55 Sealing the gods

"That's why I want to change the world. I hope to be able to bring our world back to the 21st century, to a world of freedom, comfort and equality. Even though I know it's probably a fantasy, how can we prove that we can't do it without giving it a try? It's a pity that until I leave that world, I can't get to that goal......"

Hearing Oroboros's words, Ainz thought back to his past self. When I was young, I had a dream of changing the world like Orobroth, after all, living in such a world that oppresses human nature, everyone has a desire for freedom hidden in their hearts. It's a pity that the power of one person, to be precise, the power of a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood, how can it change the trajectory of the whole world. Therefore, his efforts eventually turned into meaningless dust and disappeared on the long yellow sand road of life.

When I grew up, I was eventually tamed by the whole society...... It is not accurate to say that before he was fully adult, he was already tamed by the whole society. Before you know it, you start to become insensitive; Before you know it, you're starting to become a walking dead.

When I became an adult, I calmed down and looked back on my lost youth, and suddenly realized that I had already become a small screw in the operation of the entire social machine. In fact, what has changed is not just the fate of oneself being bound; What you bring with you is your own view of the whole world......

When I was young, I thought it was the truth of being a man, but when I grew up, I thought it was the truth of being a dog; When I was young, I thought it was the truth of being a dog, but when I grew up, I thought it was the truth of being a man.

Even Ainz himself didn't fully understand when he began to become a walking dog that came and went for others. But in the end, I understand that I will be a slave to others for the rest of my life...... But there are many people who may not know all their lives that they are actually just puppets manipulated by others.

So the old bone also began to chatter and complain about this society, as a person living at the bottom of the society. Lao Gu's hatred and indignation for the whole society are far deeper than that of Oroboros, a person who has changed the "JIE class". The two of them seemed to open a conversation box, constantly chatting about what they had experienced in the past.

One is aware of the hidden darkness of the upper class, and the other is familiar with the blatant bleakness of the lower society. When two people get together, there will always be a lot of topics to talk about.

"Compared to the people of this world, we have more advanced knowledge and more power. We know where the world is headed; We also know how to keep the world from going astray. Perhaps our rule may not be more merciful than the rulers of another world, but at least we will be better than the best rulers of this world. ”

"Do you want to take the world further?"

"That's right, didn't you find a thing?"

"What's the matter?"

"Why is it that there are powerful technologies in this world that our world cannot achieve even with the world's top scientists, such as resurrection, summoning, plant growth, perpetual immortal, perpetual alchemy puppet technology, and other super technologies that cannot be achieved in the real world, but they have not turned this world into a prosperous and glorious world."

"That's true. If nothing else, it's just a magic that catalyzes the growth of plants, and in the 22nd century, it is a technology that can change the development of agriculture in the whole world. If our world could have the magic that catalyzes the growth of plants, then all people can afford to eat fresh vegetables. ”

Indeed, the technology that allows plants to grow in an instant is enough to win the Nobel Prize in Biology.

"Then do you know why the people of this world are still living in the ignorant Middle Ages?"

For Satoru Suzuki, who had only attended elementary school, this question was indeed a bit difficult for him. Having only taken basic courses such as Chinese and mathematics, his knowledge of history is limited to some knowledge he has searched on the Internet when he is bored, so he is not able to answer Oroboros's questions.

"Because compared to science, which is accessible to everyone, magic is very difficult to popularize! In the real world, it takes a certain amount of talent to learn knowledge, but the talent for learning knowledge is far lower than the talent required for learning magic. Therefore, even people from humble backgrounds like us can learn the knowledge necessary for social development as long as they have enough money and add their own personal efforts. However, in this world, learning magic is almost entirely based on one's origin and talent, and even if you have a good background, you cannot learn magic without magical talent. Therefore, this defective nature of magic essentially limits the popularity of magic in the human world. ”

"In the real world, even the most ordinary people have access to the technological products necessary to sustain modern industry. But in this world...... You've seen the situation in Karn Village, not to mention magic, you can't even find a few literate people. ”

"Therefore, it is most reasonable for us to lead the development of the world, and we can completely put the world on the right track by guiding the development of technology. Technologies such as the steam engine, Jenny's spinning machine, electric motors, firecrackers, internal combustion engines, automobiles, penicillin, anatomy, compulsory education, television, mobile phones, and the Internet will surely make the world as great and prosperous as it is in the 21st century. "As long as we don't rule the people with stupid means like a super corporation in another world, then we can definitely build a just and enlightened world." ”

At this time, Oroboros was completely inducing Ainz to have the idea of conquering the world, rather than being forced by his own subordinates to conquer the world as in the original book.

Hearing this, Ainz's heart has changed from the initial sympathy to shock, and his strong feelings even inspired Ainzi's "forcible not to panic" skill, bursts of green light shone on Ainzi's body, almost turning into a green light bulb.

For a person with a good nature like Lao Gu, he must have a yearning and desire for a better world in his heart. Who was struggling in the lower classes and never longed to have a hero to come out and save the world.

It's a pity that he was not saved by a hero, but became a hero who saved others.

"Ainz, what are you going to do?"

"Yes, of course!" Old Gu felt that the passion of his youth seemed to be rekindled. Although it is very shameful to conquer the world or save the world, there is no soul in that man's heart! Moreover, for him, the conquest of the world was not to satisfy his desires, but to realize the ideals of his youth.

Let those who sit on the throne pull down the throne, and let them also experience how we, the lower classes, live in the dust of no dignity.

Once the emotions are aroused, the old bone will naturally trigger the skill of "forcibly not panicking". This will allow the old bone to retain a sober brain anytime and anywhere, "Oroboros, since you want to rule the world, you must build a country." In our plan, the state we are building should be a puppet regime. In other words, we are not ruling the country directly as rulers. So in what capacity should we run the country? ”

"Old Bone, what do you think is above the king?"

"If you are above the king, then you are the emperor, right?"

"Above the emperor, what else is there?"

"The emperor should be the highest, right? There is no higher being than the Emperor! ”

"Gods, beings who are higher than the emperor are gods."

"Wait, aren't we going to develop technology? Why is it related to religion again, these two things don't seem to be compatible, right? ”

"Can't we invent a Mechanical Daoist Cult! Optimus Prime can be a fighting Buddha, Freedom Gundam can be a Buddha, and Mirage can be a Platinum Star. Is it hard to understand? ”

If there is flesh on the old bone's face, then the old bone's face must be - this ('Д') looks. For the large number of mecha made by Oroboros, the old bone can be said to be very familiar. Therefore, when he heard that Auroboros was going to seal Optimus Prime as a fighting victory over the Buddha, the old bone could be said to be scorched by thunder.

"Oroboros, are you serious? How do I feel that after you come to this world again, it is like a different person, and the whole person is letting go of yourself. ”

"Okay, let's talk about serious things, ahem......" Orobroth coughed twice in embarrassment, "Old Bone, what do you think the two of us look like when we stand together?" ”

Old Bone looked at the outstretched wings behind Oroboros, and then at his own skeletal claws.

"Jesus and Satan?"

"Why don't you say Zeus and Hades in Greek mythology?" Oroboros' hand pointed back and forth at the old bone and himself, "You feel like the two of us are gods who rule life and death. ”

"You're right...... "Old Bone felt a little embarrassed, "but you're really going to put gold ...... on your face."

Oroboros has no shame at all, "Putting gold on your face is a necessary means to become an upper-level JIE. ”

"So do you want me to be the god of death and let me be the god of life? Then create a religion to proclaim our existence. ”

"That's right! A person's life is a life from birth to death, which is an absolutely inevitable result. Therefore, life and death are not opposites, but unified existence. In the religion we founded, there were only two supreme gods, one God of life and one God of death. Our task is to control the cycle and change of life, and to maintain the operation and existence of the whole world. Whoever dies, after his death, his life, his soul, will be judged by us. The good go to heaven or be reincarnated as a human, and the evil go to hell or be reborn as a pig and a dog. ”

Orobros shamelessly stretched his face in front of Old Bone: "Old Bone, what do you think of this idea?" ”

After listening to Oroboros's words, the old bone has successfully changed from a green bulb to a green lighthouse. At this point, the old bones are starting to regret a little that they agreed to save the world with Oroboros. Even if you become a king, it's more or less acceptable. You'd be fine, just put a god on my head. If I die that day, I might be slapped to death by a true god.

However, since he had already promised Oroboros, it was difficult for the old bone to take back his words, so he could only resist the impulse to get into the crack in the ground and choose to acquiesce.
