577 Choice and Betrayal
The devil is unreliable in the end, and Sheng Xuan felt a trace of despair from the betrayal of the demon king. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info people's hearts are unpredictable, and magic is even more so. But why would so many warriors want to believe in the Demon King?
What can he give them? As soon as they see the hope of victory, they can't help but jump out and do something they couldn't bear before, imposing pain on those opponents who are weaker than themselves.
Slaughtering the city, Sheng Xuan did not experience it, that heavy blow made him unforgettable, not a physical pain, but a confession from the soul.
Those innocent faces often appeared in his dreams, and his heart was tormented repeatedly. In the end, his own soul was split, but fortunately, he had Xuan Gong to protect his heart in time and strip out that nightmare-like other self.
And now it's about to happen right in front of you. The thought of the tragic death of innocent people, the blood flowing like a mountain of bones, made the deepest part of his soul tremble. He roared, "Stop!"
The demon king was stunned by this roar, you must know that his strength is still far above Shengxuan, not to mention that he can crush the other party at any time, at least he can force the other party to retreat.
"Brother, I want to open a little, this is war, war is killing, if we don't kill them, can you guarantee that one day when the other thing is turned, they won't do anything to us?" said the Demon King in a calm tone.
"Only the most fearful can control people's hearts, and only by making more people fear can we win. Is there any other way you can do it?"
Sheng Xuan had to admit that fear is the fastest way to make people give in, but there are always some people in the world who never give in to fear, and the more they do, the more they will resist. Because they have hope in their hearts.
"I do have a way, but I need the people in the city to live, only when they are alive can we have one more talisman, so that we can rest in the city for a while, otherwise, with the strength of the Protoss army, how long do you think we can hold out?"
After hearing this, the demon king couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Okay, good, using the gods in the city as hostages, I really didn't misunderstand you, calm enough and ruthless." ”
"Little ones, break the city!" With the order of the demon king, the army began to rush forward like a tide, regardless of life and death, an offensive and defensive battle broke out, and the ending was already doomed, but Sheng Xuan did not have the slightest happiness in his heart, but it was like pressing a big stone, making him breathless, betrayal, the betrayal of the demon king's covenant to them.
"What the hell is wrong with me? Why should I be entangled with the demons and gods that I once hated so much? I have seen the betrayal of demons and the cruelty of gods now, but what does all this have to do with me? I am a person from another world after all, what I have to do is to come and see this world? Let them kill, kill. ”
The sudden thought made Sheng Xuan break out in a cold sweat. When he searched carefully, he finally found the source, and it turned out to be the soul talisman he had left as a souvenir. Immediately he looked up to the sky and laughed, betrayal? maybe. He raised his hand and destroyed the talisman, and his mind was suddenly infinitely clear.
The siege battle had reached the most critical moment, but Sheng Xuan stood there motionless as if he had settled down, his perfect soul was running at high speed, trying to communicate with the laws of this divine realm.
It was as if the talisman was his last bond with the other world, and now that the bond was gone, he could merge into the laws of this world, and then, what would happen then?
Finally, he stopped at the critical moment, but there was a smile on his lips. "Is this the means of the gods?" If he continues to explore the laws of this world, then he will be assimilated by the divine realm, and then he will become a new god, and although he has gained power, he has lost the most precious thing, freedom!
However, this cultivation was not for nothing, he finally understood the world and the meaning of the world. The power of his own world can also build a world of his own, where there are living beings and all things, and there are gods and demons to admire.
Just like the world in front of him, isn't it built by the supreme god with his own world power? Suddenly his gaze fell on the demon king, and from the demon king's body, he seemed to see another possible existence, if the supreme god is light, then the demon king is darkness.
A opposition between light and darkness, but can never be separated, just as a man and his shadow.
Finally, the city was broken, but the demon king properly restrained his subordinates and let them clear all the guards, but did not harm the innocent people in the slightest. After all, this is war, and killing cannot be measured with pitiful compassion.
Rumiostan was furious, he never thought that a few small ants from the Nether would pose such a huge threat to his rule, and he never thought that those inconspicuous little ants would have such huge energy.
"How did they do it? How did they do it? Tell me!" no one could answer. He adjusted the power of the law, trapping the mountains like iron buckets, and his opponents would never escape.
The only possibility is that they risk climbing over the mountain, but how many casualties will it take? who will die? who will survive? no one can predict, maybe they will all die under the power of the law. But they chose this unknown path that they knew would cause heavy casualties.
The unknown is the deepest fear in the world, but the opponent has overcome him. That sense of powerlessness out of control drove the god of light mad, and he wanted to kill people and kill everything. Anyway, as long as there is a law, he will create countless more people of the God Clan, anyway, he is a god, a god of light.
But reason told him he couldn't do that, because then he would have to use the Supreme God's Origin Law. That was his father and his god. An existence that does not allow him to do anything wrong.
He could only hold back the rage in his heart and return to the army, hoping to minimize the losses.
Sheng Xuan suggested that the Demon King should implement benevolent governance, although it is unlikely to achieve results in a short period of time, but it can save his reputation, and perhaps earn more people's recognition, rather than choosing to be his enemy.
The Demon King humbly accepted this suggestion. So the city opened a storehouse and put grain, and divided the gold and silver and wealth equally. The gods in the city were boiling, they never thought that they would have such a free and prosperous day, without the rule of the God of Light, it turned out to be such a life.
But after a few days, they paid the price for their indulgence. Losing the control of power, the darkness that had been hidden in the heart for countless years splashed waves, and all kinds of sins began to breed rapidly.
"Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust!" the Demon King sat on a bench in the government hall, smiling and telling Sheng Xuan, "Do you think you have made a good choice?" But it is you who condone the most primitive sins, whether it is a human being a demon or a high god, it cannot be avoided, hehehahaha, the seven deadly sins, the most primitive sins, I see how you face it." ”
At that moment, Sheng Xuan didn't know where to go, why did this happen? He gave freedom to the oppressed Protoss in the city, gave them money, and gave them a worry-free life, but in exchange for the outbreak of original sin. Isn't this a betrayal?
At last he understood that the loss of the power of restraint is the beginning of sin, and the loss of the soul of faith is the root of sin.
Faith, a word he had pondered countless times but always rejected, now took on a new meaning. It is impossible for a nation that has been following the rules for many years to degenerate to such a point in just a few days, this matter must have something to do with the Demon King, and he wants to prove to himself that no matter who has the seeds of evil hidden in their hearts.
These things he saw, heard, thought, and thought, little by little, merged into Shengxuan's soul, but invisibly made his strength increase rapidly, and now he has a feeling that his world is gradually maturing and perfecting, and one day he will definitely grow to the supreme god, giving birth to all living beings.
The army of the God of Light finally arrived under the city, and in the face of the former ruler, most of the people in the city chose to submit, Sheng Xuan did not stop but opened the city gate and let them leave, but in exchange for the lack of the ruthless slaughter of the God of Light, he didn't need these half-hearted wall grass, let alone easy forgiveness after betrayal, which would damage his dignity.
But he didn't expect that a casual order he gave would be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of enemies, and those Protoss who chose to stay in the city had already seen through their future, if they couldn't stand with Shengxuan and them, then they would be like those who left the city.
At this point, it was as if war was inevitable. But suddenly, there was a commotion from all sides of the Protoss army. It turned out that the cities under the rule of other gods have risen one after another, and there are even elves who have not appeared for many years.
If there is a war, maybe the entire divine realm will be destroyed, and if there is no war, then who will choose to surrender? No one surrenders primitively, because it is the most humiliating defeat. Whether it is Shengxuan or the God of Light, the existence that always stands in a high position for people to admire.
The scene was deadlocked, and the battlefield of tens of millions of soldiers would be so quiet that it was audible to drop a pin. Maybe a single needle hitting the ground could cause a big fight. No one likes war, because war means bloodshed, killing, and death.
The God of Light looked at the opponents standing on the opposite side, and he hated to step forward and pinch them to death one by one. But he looked around again, and with his eyes he could easily see how many enemies there were. Looking at the Protoss warriors under his command, he couldn't help but sigh, why were the enemy's eyes full of longing light, but his own warrior's eyes were full of panic?
Sheng Xuan couldn't figure this out either, but he was more decisive than the God of Light, because he made a choice, a choice that shocked the entire battlefield.
He flew up and slowly came to the center of the battlefield, which caused a commotion, but no one dared to attack rashly, because an attack would mean a declaration of war, and no one could bear the end.
The Demon King looked at Sheng Xuan playfully, he also couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do, but he heard Sheng Xuan say loudly: "There is no need to let innocent people pay for their lives, this war will end for you and me!"
