"I see, that's why you chose the most helpless path after the death of your fathers and the severe blow you suffered."

After patiently listening to Reiner's trivial and vague long narrative, Chu Xuan nodded lightly, expressing his understanding of his and Berthold's past "evil deeds".

But what Reiner didn't know was that in fact, there was another way to inherit the "Angel Power" in addition to allowing two humans with the "Angel Power" to be combined.

Ymir, who has been following Herista all the time, was nothing more than an ordinary giant wandering outside the "wall" at first, but when Reiner and the others ventured through the "patrol area" of the ape giants to the human society inside the "walls", she was reawakened because she ate Reiner and the others' little friend, Belikul, who also has the "power of angels".

Moreover, after recovering the sanity of humans, Ymir can also switch between human and giant forms like Reiner and them, and also chose to escape into human society.

- This is a secret that only Chu Xuan, who has seen the "original", can know, and it is natural that Reiner and they don't know now.

From this incident, it can be inferred that if ordinary giants eat humans with "angelic power", they will "inherit" this power, or that they have obtained gene fragments from the genes of humans with "angelic power" that can eliminate the side effects of genetic viruses.

But this premise is that what ordinary giants eat must be the real ** of human beings with "angelic power", not the body that will quickly vaporize and decompose after becoming a giant - Ani, who was designed and captured by the investigation corps in the "original work", once summoned ordinary giants to eat his giant body, but those giants did not gain "angelic power".

If it weren't for the chance, humans with "angelic power" would never have thought of "feeding tigers with their bodies" and letting ordinary giants who are enemies eat themselves, and ordinary giants are not at all opponents of humans with "angelic power" in terms of IQ, so this method has never been discovered.

And although Chu Xuan knew this method, he would not tell Reiner and the others, that would not do Chu Xuan any benefit.

"Chu Xuan ......"

Although Reiner no longer had the luxury of expecting the understanding and forgiveness of those innocent humans when they chose to become the Terminator of the Race, a person like Chu Xuan, who had a high position in their hearts, could say this to them, which still gave rise to a lot of gratitude in their hearts.

"Hmm...... But as you said, from the perspective of other species, the demise of humanity is a good thing, and everything we do is ......."

A slightly bitter smile appeared on Reiner's face, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh:

"Alas...... I can now understand the thoughts of the 'angels'.

It's really sad that the vast majority of humanity ...... Including us, only when we are at the end of the road will we want to reflect on ourselves.

If you hadn't discovered who we really are, perhaps we would have completed the self-righteous task of 'giving humans a dignified death' with the pride that is peculiar to human beings, and then died a contented death." ”

Having said that, Reiner didn't really see it, and his face showed a deep sense of loss and sadness.

-- If we can't even achieve a "dignified death," then isn't there only a hopeless future that awaits humanity?

"Reiner, you may have misunderstood something."

At this time, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said to him indifferently:

"I'm just saying that the extinction of humanity is actually a good thing from the perspective of other species, but that doesn't mean that I agree with the views and practices of the 'angels'.

We are human beings, and everything we do should be considered based on the interests of human beings themselves, and based on the purpose of allowing human beings to develop and grow, so why should we care about the interests of other species? ”

"Huh?!"

Chu Xuan's rhetorical question, which seemed to be extremely selfish, made Reiner and Berthold dumbfounded.

"But we can't survive in this world alone, how can we not care about other species......

If we don't protect the environment, we will be the ones who will suffer in the end. ”

Berthold explained his thoughts with some hesitation, and it could be seen from his heartfelt words that this tall boy who was only 16 years old was still quite kind, and if those big businessmen and nobles in the past had thought the same way, there would have been no incident of "angelic purification".

"You're right, but you have to pay attention to the last point, 'it's the humans themselves who suffer in the end'.

It is precisely in the interests of humanity that we care about other species, not just by 'doing good' to satisfy our own spiritual interests, but because protecting the environment is also related to our own material interests.

It's just that there are many times when human beings think that they are protecting their own interests, but in fact they harm their own interests.

-- Or perhaps because the damage does not occur in a lifetime, but only affects future generations, perhaps for a very long time, some people ignore it.

After all, their 'own' interests have not been harmed, and how miserable their descendants are does not actually affect their own material interests.

If the moral interests of the offspring are not harmed by the misfortune of their offspring due to their own reasons, that is, they do not feel guilty, uneasy, worried, or self-reproachful for it, then these people will naturally not hesitate to deprive their offspring of the benefits that belong to them.

This is the inferior root of human beings...... No, this is the true surname of all living beings, and the basis for judging the actions of every cell in our body is 'whether it is beneficial to itself or not', and all kinds of life forms other than humans will also show the surname of profit, light, and fat.

'Beneficial to oneself or not' is the only criterion for any living being to carry out any action, and although the result of the judgment may be wrong, this 'judgment' itself is an eternal and unchanging truth. ”

This time, for his own purposes, Chu Xuan patiently reminded the humans of Reiner and Berthold...... Even the true face of the "ugly" life of all living beings, the teenagers who really saw the essence of human beings for the first time had a hard time accepting this truth, and could only stand there with their heads in a mess.

However, at this time, Chu Xuan didn't have the time to wait for them to figure it out, and after pushing down the reflective glasses with an expressionless face, Chu Xuan continued:

"It is precisely because of this that as a human being, as a member of the human race, human beings only need to consider the problem from the perspective of safeguarding the interests of mankind.

There is nothing wrong with restricting those who are eager for quick success in order to protect the environment, but completely depriving human beings of their own interests in order to protect the environment and imposing what they consider to be 'Edenic happiness' on others is nothing but the self-satisfaction of those 'angels', another form of arrogance! ”

Chu Xuan's resounding words made Reiner and Berthold reacquaint themselves with the seemingly incomparably righteous behavior of the "angels" of the extremist religious environmental protection group, and their originally lost and hesitant eyes also reappeared with vitality.

"Is that so...... That's right......"

Reiner sighed a few times in succession, and there were even a little tears in his tiger eyes, which were so serious that people felt that they were a little too harsh.

"The sacrifices we made, the pain we endured...... And there's nothing wrong with that!

We...... It is for the benefit of mankind to fight! ”

The young man with his indomitable willpower raised his head in high and said to some of the dead spirits in the sky through gritted teeth.

Holding his head high is to prevent tears from falling, gritting his teeth to keep his voice from trembling, as a man, he is fearless even if he is bleeding and sacrificed, but he can't let weak tears gush out of his eyes! (To be continued.) )
