Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Am a Hero

"Heroes?"

Hearing the emperor's words, the godfather just sneered: "There is no need for that." ”

“…… Why? ”

The Emperor could hear that it was not a malicious mockery.

The Godfather is not like everyone else in Downtown, who sees the existence of "heroes" as a dog of directors.

He did not immediately answer the Emperor's words, but simply found a place to sit down.

As if he were the master, the godfather pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down, Emperor."

"I've said it, we're going to talk for a long time...... Don't be so inhibited. You're already an old man, don't get tired. ”

"Are you taunting me, Godfather?"

The Emperor sat across from the Godfather, his hands on his knees. The old penguin sits upright like a stone lion.

Seeing that the emperor finally complied with his words and sat across from him, the corners of the godfather's mouth rose slightly, and he crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the soft sofa behind him.

"You mocked me first, Emperor."

The godfather tilted his head and said in a flat tone: "How do you know...... Am I not a hero now? ”

These words made the emperor instantly stuck.

For a moment, he didn't know what he should answer.

And the godfather still said to himself: "I am the hero of the lower city, the hero of the uncensored." But I'm not just their hero...... I am a hero to all who aspire to 'fairness'. It doesn't matter if he's uptown or downtown, coded or uncensored, good or evil, human or elf.

"It's you 'heroes'. Of course, I know that...... Since you can become heroes, your heart must be pure, your motives must be sacred, and your ideas must be selfless.

"I'm not going to say anything meaningless about depravity or corruption. Everyone wants to live a good life, so why should heroes suffer and live a hard life? Is it because of the meaningless cleanliness in people's hearts?

"They treat heroes as icons, as gods, and even the slightest mistake can be magnified infinitely. Even if the heroes are not at fault, just because they are not good enough, they will be harshly criticized by public opinion......"

Speaking of this, the godfather sneered again: "You call that a hero? I call this one God.

"No mortal can become a god, Mr. Emperor. No one can satisfy everyone, and no one can always be right. ”

Hearing the words of the godfather, the emperor fell silent.

Because for a moment, he could not refute the godfather.

He was ready for the godfather to use extreme theories for sophistry.

But the emperor didn't expect that what the godfather said was an upright and upright theory, and it was an undeniable fact. That was indeed the conclusion that the emperor had come to after thinking about it for a long time......

The emperor could not deny the words of the godfather in the light of his conscience.

"I think I understand a little, Mr. Emperor. You may have misunderstood my 'family'. ”

The godfather said mildly.

His temperament is not at all like the king of the lower city or the supreme leader of the vicious mob, but like a scholar.

"I'm not trying to gather the murderers. It's just that those who followed me in the first wave happened to have a little blood under their hands. ”

"That is to say," the Emperor realized the meaning of the godfather's words, "you want to recruit me in turn?" ”

He wanted to laugh for a moment.

When he recruited the Godfather, the Godfather also wanted to recruit him.

What is this, heroes cherish heroes?

But I have to say that the emperor is still a little happy to be recognized by an outstanding young man like the godfather.

"If you want to, you can, but now is not the time."

The godfather said slowly, "Because I haven't shown my vision, my abilities. If you decide to follow me at this time, I won't dare to accept it. Because at this stage, I don't have the ability to attract talents like you......"

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"Didn't I say that?"

The godfather asked rhetorically, "Give justice to people." ”

“…… Are you serious? ”

The emperor was immediately moved.

Only an old man like him can realize that the godfather is talking crazy words.

"Unfairness" is the cornerstone of this world.

Personal talents and family origins are not to be mentioned...... Even those who are full of desire may not be able to awaken their spiritual powers; Truly good people do not necessarily have access to the power of holy ranks. Everyone is born with different spiritual relatives, and the strength of spiritual affinity is also different, and even the specific characteristics of the same spiritual relative, positive and negative spiritual relatives are also different.

Even the same person, born on Happiness Island and Sogo Island, may have completely different fates. There are also those who are born uncoded, who have not committed any crimes, and who are deprived of all the rights that a person can have just because they were born in the lower city, even if they are killed, it is not considered "murder".

Not to mention, there are immortals like elves and dragons. Immortal species that can live for at least a thousand years...... The lifespan is more than fifteen times that of humans. The lifespan gap between humans and dogs is even greater.

When he was young, he was indeed dissatisfied with this. But it's just talking.

When he's older...... In other words, when he himself becomes the person above the "scale of unfairness", there will be less resentment.

To eradicate "injustice" is basically to overthrow the whole world.

“…… Do you want to start a war? ”

"I prefer to call it 'change.'"

The Godfather spread his hands and smiled gently: "In fact, the great change that will sweep the whole world is imminent, and it is imminent.

"Uptown is going to be overwhelmed. They have to be downsized...... They also thirst for a war. A senseless war capable of draining people's blood and cutting down on their numbers. All I have to do is add meaning to the war that is bound to come.

"Do you think the directors will turn against me? No, they will only acquiesce to my existence. On the contrary, you people are short-sighted but not short-sighted enough, smart and not smart enough to stop me. ”

“…… What the hell are you talking about? ”

"Ask your daughter, Mr. Emperor. You've been left too far behind by your daughter...... You're old. ”

The godfather crossed his fingers, placed them in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Since you are old, let's step back." To this day, the world is still a vast jungle, where the human mind and case still retain the nature of beasts, and the vulnerable are hunted more ferociously. ”

"By one...... Bird? ”

The Emperor's gaze was set on the godfather's spiritual features.

Even though it is only an emperor penguin, the penguin is clearly a bit higher and more ferocious than the song robin.

"Someone. Talent is the most ferocious beast. ”

The godfather replied slowly: "I teach them to be human beings, not to make them 'civilized' and put away their minions. Rather, we want them to be more 'beasts' than beasts...... To learn to use tools, to open up the wisdom of the people.

"Learn to use the most despicable techniques to unite against the power of nature. And not like a beast, it will only run and die.

"I'm not like you heroes, who like to play false kindness in front of the lowly people.

"They only need to obey me, and whoever is a stumbling block to me will be destroyed by me. And I will give my followers fairness, give them the peace of mind they seek, and give them the ability to fulfill their obsessions. I will give them the possibility to pursue transcendence of their own destiny.

"—I give them hope."

The blue-haired young man replied slowly, word by word: "There is no doubt that I am a hero." ”
