Chapter 16: The Sublimation of the Delphinium (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Now she has learned a small part of the history that has been discovered by them through the "history" of the Tower of Babel.....

For example, in the First Mage War in 868, the war that swept the world and created a glorious mage civilization - with dragons as kings and emperors, elves as ministers and princes, and many mage towers rose from the ground.

After the end of the war, many different religions, which had been scattered all over the world, joined each other to form a unity called the "Church". Only on Sogo Island, you can barely see the shadows of those "old religions" that once existed.

—The old gods are dead, and the "new gods" that exist based on the power of the Holy Order are born.

At the same time, the immortal species called "Giant" was completely destroyed, and the population was greatly reduced. The whole world has entered a glorious pioneering period. Everything is thriving...... The elves born from that time called it the "Golden Age". This is the "earth" that they miss, not the land that was shattered and decayed during the Shari'a Wars.

It wasn't until 300 years later, in 1100, that the Shari'ah War, which lasted for twenty years, destroyed everything. This world has been truly destroyed once.

As the war escalated, the "spells" reflected in the mage's mind became more and more vicious, and the technological weapons used by the church became more and more deadly.

The earth is cracking, plants are withering, resources are depleted, and even clean water has become a luxury. The city-state collapsed and the kingdom perished.

Commerce and culture were almost completely cut off, and the art and money of the old era lost their value. A famous painting is not as safe as a gun, and a handful of gold cannot buy fresh and clean meat.

Deserts and devastating hot winds have rendered almost all of the terrestrial space uninhabitable. All the food planted was destroyed, and the fertile soil became a desert that was either full of radiation or full of life.

When people stand in despair in front of the cursed blackened lake, they can see their "reflections" with malicious smiles crawling out of the water and dragging them to the bottom of the lake; The water of the lake, which is rarely clean, may have a radiation source at the bottom of the lake. Anyone who has come to drink water may slowly vomit, lose hair, have diarrhea, and eventually die of bleeding from internal organs.

In the middle of the desert, there are one radiant area after another, causing terrible distortions for both animals and humans. A man with two heads, a fish with legs, and a desert lizard with a human face..... It is no longer possible to tell if this is an aberration caused by radiation or a distortion caused by a curse.

The number of people who died directly in the war was less than one-fiftieth of the total population; But the series of effects caused by the war killed nine-tenths of the world's people in twenty years and destroyed the entire inheritance of the old civilization.

"—they've been doing it all the time."

Russell's voice rang out in the delphinch's heart, and the wall of nothingness formed by the cognitive barrier collapsed. Delphinium is also aware of a fact as a matter of course:

That's ...... The people who landed on the Sky Island certainly couldn't be all the remaining survivors. Because such a dry and barren world cannot live in groups at all; And those whose bodies have been distorted are not allowed to enter the empty island again.

Sky Island just "felt like it was almost there" and then took off and left. According to estimates from the Tower of Babel, each empty island should initially contain more than 10 million people.

Today, Sogo Island has a population of just over 20 million, making it the least populated empty island. And there are about 40 million on Happiness Island.

Both Tongshen Island and Sun Island have more populations than Happiness Island, while the other empty islands are smaller than Happiness Island.

From 1120 to 1203...... It has only been eighty-three years since the establishment of the Seven Sky Islands. In just over eighty years, seven completely different civilizations have been formed.

The population of Happiness Island has nearly quadrupled compared to the beginning. From this, we can see what kind of beautiful "paradise" she already thought that the fallen and decaying Sky Island was for those who fled from the earth at that time.

The delphinium could not even imagine, and did not dare to imagine, that the "belated" survivors of the earth should realize that they were the only one who had saved them from the apocalypse

What resentment and despair will there be when the ark is full and left forever.

It was only after she saw the sheath that she realized.... It turns out that the earth is full of curses and radiation, and is considered "impossible to survive" by all the people of the Sky Island, but human civilization still stubbornly survives.

All the people of the Sky Island believe that the "punishment of exile" is actually equivalent to the death penalty. Because people can't survive on that land for long, it's the equivalent of throwing people into the sea and politely giving them a plank. It's not so much to give the other party hope to survive, but to use that hope to torture him to death.

And after understanding the "history", the delphinium realized how vicious and just this "exile" is.

The dragon's punishment was as reasonable as it was terrifying. It is not just a disguised death penalty of "pretense", but a far more painful and meaningful punishment than the death penalty.

There is no need for torture, just let them survive to death in the "doomsday civilization" on earth. In this way, the sinners will be shocked to realize that the world they hated is already a paradise that others cannot ask for.

At that time, what kind of pain, what kind of remorse, what kind of enlightenment, such hysteria will they have...... It's all predictable.

At that time, the delphinium felt that the dragon was so wise and fair. They must have a high enough perspective to have a rational and loving heart for humanity to make such a strange but just punishment. It's not the father

Mother, but the guru – the teacher who is either gentle or severe.

And now, the delphinium understands from Russell's words..... What exactly did I ignore? -Oh, yes.

If war is so painful, why didn't the dragon stop it in the first place, but waited until the world had been destroyed before finally doing so?

Now, Delphinium finally got the answer she didn't want to realize.

The short 300 years of the Golden Age were the dragon's last gift to "humanity".

Just like the teacher's mercy, students are allowed to have a fun all-nighter before preparing for the exam. After that, it's time to give up all entertainment to pay off the debt.

Yes, dragons do not see individuals who exist in a certain era as people who need to be watched. Their loving and gentle gaze has been on the "human" community throughout history.

It's like a player of "civilization" or "stars", or other types of games, who love and take care of their civilization.

But it is precisely because of their rationality and fraternity that they can adopt cold-blooded and ruthless strategies.

- It is precisely because the Sharia War has reduced enough people to allow the dragon to use its own heart to power the floating city, so that the old civilization of the Golden Age will not really fall into the end of self-destruction in an instant...... Rather, it is possible to sacrifice these twenty years to sustain civilization for another hundred and sixty years.

For dragons, it's a bargain.

And now that the population is larger, they are planning another "release".

From this point of view, the human directors and some of the elven directors seem to be so compassionate

How ironic it is. The power that oppresses the people and makes humanity feel pain suddenly "wakes up" at this moment, and instead becomes the guardian of the individual human side. Their "compromise and reform to maintain stability" is precisely to delay this pressure...... to postpone as much as possible the "war" that the dragon has identified as destroying the vast majority of people and giving a very small number of people a new lease on life.

Just like these two Dr. Zambai..... They are so jealous and so afraid of "werewolves".

They are not afraid of this evil who does not know their true identity, but they are afraid of the great revenge caused by the "werewolf". Fearing the ..... of this trend of thought They have been suppressed for a long time - [war].

Human beings may have different ideas and walk on different paths. And one day they will have to do it for their own sake

Fight each other from the dreams they hold.

However, as the real manager of this world, the dragon who can penetrate everything from the highest level of "data" only hopes that "the population will be reduced a little more", and the world is about to be unable to bear it.

They don't care what humanity is going to do.

The Church and the Priest. Citizens vs. ***. Company & Mercenaries. Directors and salaried slaves.

People live for the imminent pressure, fight for reality, and give everything for their "love", including their lives. People are independent of each other, love each other, hate each other, unite with each other, kill each other. And the dragon that stands high above is so cold and just. And what they did was right..... And ruthless.

..... And this is not necessarily a kind of 'love'."

The delphinium lost consciousness and muttered in a low voice: "A love that cannot be understood, a love that cannot be recognized..... "A love that kills what is loved, true ....."

- Lethal amount of love.

At that moment, the huge spiritual impact made the Delphinium's perspective suddenly rise infinitely—it was as if for a moment, she had become a dragon, overlooking the earth.

For the first time, she completely detached herself from her own position and realized the ..... of every small person in the arms of the "Mother World" in the world Great, selfless, merciless love.

It was only then that the delphinium finally understood what it meant to be "lethal love".

Why is it that the psionic power with such a name can strengthen the blue shift of others and strengthen the beliefs of others.....

When the perspective is beyond the mortal, beyond the individual, beyond the collective..... When you break free from the shell of the individual, cross the walls of the Leviathan and enter the sea of the group's subconscious—

That love for the "collective" is undoubtedly fatal... The next moment, Russell suddenly reached out and knocked the delphinium unconscious.

She lost consciousness in an instant.
