The battle with the Apostle was tense but not intense, and there was no direct confrontation from beginning to end, but it was no less dangerous than any battle Su had ever experienced. Although the Apostle Elephant gave up tracking, Su did not dare to ignore it, and opened the panorama of integrated fault detection from moment to moment.

Su was also puzzled by the apostle's sudden retreat, so he cautiously headed north. A day later, as he approached the Ice Ocean, not only him and Medirri, but even Sylvanas sensed the faint aura of terror. It's a warning, a warning to those who are strong enough to sense the aura, and this is the territory of Pridekora. No entry is allowed without the permission of the owner. As for the weak creatures, Prydekra is not interested, they do not pose a threat to it, at most become a less palatable snack.

Su and the three of them were obviously not among the objects of Pridekora's welcome, and they sensed that the aura was full of fierce warnings. Standing on the snowy peak, Su's gaze pierced through the fog and saw a huge ice shelf that stretched into the sea. In the depths of the ice ocean, where the ice shelves will be shattered, it should be the habitat of Pridkla. Su didn't know what kind of creature this giant in the North Ocean was, let alone his name and characteristics, but when he stood on the mountain and looked down on the ice ocean, a strange thought would float in his chest, what would it be like if he came to rule this ice ocean?

This feeling of emptiness, enormity, and the feeling of accommodating a qiē is completely different from the feeling of establishing a human polity to rule the western regions of the Great Lake. In the human domination system, there are still some ideas of equality, democracy and freedom that continue the old era, although in the new era of increasingly obvious differences in individual capabilities, such ideas have gradually lost their basis in reality. But most people still think that people are essentially equal, which means that in the system, most people are still subordinates and partners, and that people under you can legally overthrow you after losing support.

Such an idea cannot be said to be wrong, but the likelihood of realization is decreasing. In the battle in the Western Regions of the Great Lakes, Su had already proved with himself that a high-level ability could completely ignore the numerical superiority of the weak, just as a lion could not be afraid of a flock of sheep. Pridekra's expression in his own realm is completely different, and he and his people do not belong to the same biological class at all. If you have to describe it, it is like the shepherd and the lamb under his whip.

This is true domination.

Staring at the deep and vast ice ocean, Su unconsciously had a deep identification with Pridekla. This does not come from knowledge or reason, but from the deepest instincts of the body, like a lion growing up in a flock of sheep who finally discovers the difference between himself and his companions. However, years of experience and knowledge made him tremble, and he resisted the instinctive surge. In Su's opinion, he is still a person and still has the responsibility to save his companions, and for those weak people who have no ability to protect themselves, Su is also willing to help them if he can. In Su's view, all life has the meaning of existence and the value of existence. When it is not necessary, he is not willing to destroy an intelligent life.

Yes, intelligent life. Sue suddenly woke up to the problem. Humans do not treat pigs, cattle and sheep as their own kind, nor do they guarantee their right to live. And Sue's definition in the heart is intelligent life. In turbulent times, the definition of intelligent life is no longer limited to humans, and it is subject to change. In the eyes of Pridekra and the apostles, perhaps humanity is looked at as much as a pig and a sheep are seen. The problem is that Sue clearly senses that the instincts in his body are awakening, and he is worried that maybe one day he will become like an apostle, and the definition of intelligent life will also change.

But in this era, it is an insoluble contradiction.

Sue turned her head and looked at Medirri. This is a pure girl, still vaguely the beauty of the little girl back then, and now, when she is quiet, when she is slightly sad, she will always inadvertently show a thrilling beauty, and even sometimes make people feel that this is no longer a magnificent beauty that does not belong to the world. At this time, even Yu Su will have questions, is she still human?

From a strictly biological point of view, Medirri's terrifying fighting instincts and powerful flesh, mystical and drastic abilities, and the ability to fully merge and control the core are not on par with humans. Even if she was originally just an ordinary little girl, she turned into another creature after three sharp transformations. On a genetic level, she may be much farther away from pure-blooded humans than cold-blooded reptiles.

Medirri sensed Sue's gaze and turned her head to meet Sue's gaze. With the core, she can also touch Su's spiritual world, and the faint feeling in an instant has made her somewhat understand what Su is thinking. She suddenly smiled slightly, and her soft and quiet smile seemed to make the whole world light up in an instant. In a trance, Su seemed to see the little girl who was too beautiful to talk about, but she had a significantly different feeling from the little girl back then. This feeling would faintly trigger a kind of heat in his heart, just like last time.

"Sue, do you know what the first thing the Spider Queen said to me on that day in the carriage eight years ago?"

"What did you say?" In fact, Sue still knows little about Medirli's upbringing at Crimson Castle. Although they had been together for a long time since the third full transformation, Medirri had always been obscure about Crimson Castle and Judgment Town, and the considerate Sue didn't ask too much. It's just that from the small tricks she showed when dealing with Sylvanas, there is a little glimpse of the shadow of the judgment town.

Medirri smiled and said, "The Empress said that from this day onwards, you are no longer human. ”

Su smiled, but his smile was a little stiff. It seems that the question he is only realizing now, the Spider Queen has had a mature answer many years ago. This is not a trivial issue, but involves the recognition of the nature of the world. When these superiors begin to elevate themselves to a higher level in cognition, then the change in the world will be very great, because they are the core of power that dominates the world, and ordinary people are powerless to resist at all.

Su let out a soft breath and buried the question in the depths of her consciousness. He didn't like this so-called new order, and if he had a choice, he would prefer to have more ordinary people who could live in peace and happiness, just like in the old days. But he also understands that in a new era when capabilities are beginning to spread and intelligent beings are emerging, a new order is inevitable. Before the general trend of the times, the power of the individual is minimal, and if it is delusional to block it, it is mostly cannon fodder that is crushed by the tide of the times. If you rush too hard in the trend, you are likely to become a martyr.

Every era of historic change is built on cannon fodder and the corpses of martyrs. Su didn't want to be a martyr, nor did he want to be cannon fodder, he just wanted to live.
