Chapter 266: The Demon Prince's Messenger (8)
The words of the hated demon general Astarot caused Ryan and the others to think deeply. Everyone was infinitely melancholy in their hearts caused by these secrets annihilated in the long river of history, and the whole study fell into silence, and Astarote also consciously asked Ryan to absorb what he said, so he didn't continue, but picked up another glass of Bordeaux that Emma sent him and tasted it slowly.
After a long time, Victor asked, "So, the so-called thousand-year war broke out just to satisfy the selfish desires of those seven kings? They have never stopped their desire to be promoted to gods again, right? I believe that when the next new king appears, you guys will directly devour his soul while he is still weak, and then seek to go further, right?"
"No, it can't be said that in fact the real beneficiary of every millennial war is not any one of the seven kings. Astarot put down the empty crystal cup and slowly explained: "As you guessed, the essence of the Millennium War is to force all of us to desperately improve our own abilities, it is a large-scale war that has swept the entire Otherworld, and almost all powerful beings in the Otherworld will take action in this war, in order to strive for promotion to a higher level through fierce battles. If you think about it carefully, you should understand that in the hundreds of wars in the last 100,000 years, there may have been tens of thousands of legendary powerhouses, dozens of realm powerhouses, but there has never been another king, right?"
But that doesn't hide the true intentions of the Seven Kings in waging this brutal millennial war. There may not be a new king now, but I believe that as long as this millennial war never stops, sooner or later they will achieve their goal. Ryan spoke: "Destroying the happiness of countless creatures for his own selfishness is really an 'equal opportunity'!"
Astarot didn't care about the sarcasm in Ryan's tone, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's hard for me to understand that a strong man like you can have such a weak mentality. A poor beggar, when he is hungry and cold, may hate the decay of the privileged class, and vow to change all the inequality in this world. But when this beggar ascends to a high position one day, I am afraid that he will do everything to protect his interests......, right?
Astarote's words made Ryan and the others all silent, don't say such things in the other world, even if they are around Ryan, they are happening all the time, in the nearly 10,000-year history of mankind, such things abound, Ryan They are all people with identity and strength, and they are naturally unwilling to deny the facts, so the only thing they can do is to smile relatively bitterly and remain silent.
"There is only one law of the other world, and that is the law of the jungle. If you don't want to be someone else's food or a pawn, then please try to get rid of this fate yourself, if you can't, who is the right to complain about the injustice of fate? The Millennial War will certainly lead to endless killings, but it also gives all creatures who wish to change their fate a chance, not to mention that in this war, the seven kings will not allow opponents with too large disparities in strength to appear, because only the closer the strength, the greater the chance of gaining promotion by comprehending new powers after the battle. Since the two sides are close in strength, why is it your opponent who is alive and not yours?"
"Why is it your opponent who lives and not you?" Astarote's questioning was like a giant thunder exploding in the minds of Ryan and others, yes, Ryan has always hated war, but I have to admit that Ryan can have today's achievements, but it is inseparable from the battle between life and death that he has been wandering in, although the war has made Ryan lose a lot, but it has also allowed Ryan to gain more, so the pros and cons of this are impossible to care. Ryan: They were a little resistant to the millennium war that Astarote said from the beginning, is it really just from the perspective of so-called justice to condemn it instead of because of lack of confidence in themselves?
"We need a little time. Ryan cleared the confusion in his mind and spoke to Astarote.
"No problem, it's still a while before the Millennial War. And this millennium is not over in one day as you think, and we have plenty of opportunities to wait for you to make a final decision. Astarot stood up at this point, shook his neck, and continued: "Of course, if I stay here, I believe you will not be at ease, so I will take my subordinates back to the abyss first, after all, I still have my own mission to do. As for the portal, until you make a final decision, let it remain. ”
Ryan naturally heard the warning in Astarote's words, but he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, a portal connecting the two planes could not play a big role, and the real threat to the Human Alliance should be a realm-level powerhouse like Astalote, so Ryan nodded and agreed to Astarote's request. According to Astarot himself, he has to cross many other planes that are subordinate to the Thor Demon, and he will not return to the continent of Eslar anytime soon, so Ryan and the others still have plenty of time to think about the future.
Galib sent Astarlot away "courteously", Ryan and they would not completely relax their vigilance based on Astarott's words alone, so it was naturally better for Galib to personally confirm that the threat was lifted. As for Ryan, he summoned other strong people to his study, and when everyone except Catherine arrived, Ryan redescribed the words of the hated demon general Astalote as it was, and when everyone heard that the thousand-year war was launched by the seven kings in order to be promoted to gods, everyone sat on their chairs stunned as Ryan first heard this secret, and then became full of thoughts, and Ryan sat in his chair and let everyone think.
After a longer period of silence than Ryan, Faras spoke: "Ryan, you don't really plan to surrender to the Thor Demon, do you?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Ryan didn't answer Faraz's question directly, but his words also allowed Faraz and them to get the answer they wanted, and everyone's hanging heart suddenly fell, and the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed. Ryan only felt that his mouth was dry, he took the clear water in front of him and drank it down, and then he spoke: "The strong make the rules, and the weak follow the rules, although this is only the law of the other world, but it is also effective in our plane. Now that we are under great pressure from the Thor, we must face up to where we find ourselves and not just act on our own will. ”
"Alas, Ryan, just say what you think in your heart, we will all support you!" Faras stomped her foot and couldn't help urging: "Slurring, wanting to speak, and going around in a big circle, this is not your style." ”
"Haha, I just want to express myself tactfully. Ryan laughed a few times and then said, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point." Now that the threat of the Thor Demon has descended on us, we are not strong enough to resist the huge army of the Thor Demon, so it will take some time, which is why I am vague about the Hateful Demon. ”
"We can't just agree to that Astarott's request out of thin air, and then let ourselves use our own power to protect ourselves in the millennium war, but we can't resist forcefully, lest we start a new war for no reason. So all I can do now is try to get some buffer time. According to that Astarote, he is still a few years away, and all we have to do is use this time to grow as quickly as possible!"
"The Six-Party Alliance, it is necessary to further strengthen ties, and the training of new people must also be accelerated. The combat power of the entire alliance must also be integrated in a short period of time, and the resources of the entire continent must also be uniformly deployed as soon as possible...... In short, we have to concentrate our greatest strength in the shortest possible time, not only to deal with the challenge of the undead legion, but also to face the pressure from the Thor's demons. Ryan gushed out his heart: "Today we have 8 strong men, so Astarlot is soft, if we can have 80 strong men tomorrow, then even if the demon prince comes in person, I am afraid that we will have a lot of worries, right?"
"Humph!" Farass heard Ryan count Catherine in, so she made a voice to express her dissatisfaction, and Ryan knew Farath's emotions, so she had to pretend not to hear. For Catherine's sudden appearance, Ryan has vaguely guessed some clues, but it is better for Galib to solve this matter personally, he can not ask or try not to ask, so as not to cause fire and trouble at that time.
"Okay, okay, Ryan makes a point. Of course, Victor knew Farath's intentions, and he stood up and said, "It's still unclear whether the other party is really leaving or if there is another conspiracy, let's stay in Cassano for a few days, and then make a final decision when Galib returns." ”
Of course, Faras could hear the meaning of Victor's pun, Galib is currently the strongest in the Human Alliance, and he is also Catherine's father, so it is naturally most appropriate for him to deal with these things, although Faras's heart is still a little difficult to let go, but now facing a huge crisis, she can only put this unforgettable hatred for Catherine back to the bottom of her heart for the time being.
