The one who caught Suli was Tiger.

The boy on the flesh pad was so small that he was not even as big as the sharp nails between the claws. However, for Clemens, what he cared about more was not the size difference between the boy and his original form, but... why did he choose to catch him?

Is this an enemy? No doubt about it.

Sully and Clemens, humans and tigers, this is an opposition that cannot be changed in their positions.

But he just reached out and caught the boy, who would have surely died if he had fallen from a high altitude to the ground.

He will die.

After this thought came to his mind, Clemens' rational side did not have time to analyze the cause of Sully's death. He just reached out his hand and caught him.

Sury...

Just a human being.

Seriously speaking, this was only the second time humans and tigers met.

"You..." A sound almost like a whimper came out of Tiger's throat.

But after I made the sound, I was shocked to find that I had no idea how to continue the conversation.

Why did you catch him? What are you going to do now? Kill him? Put him aside? Or...pretend nothing happened?

Sully, who was caught, was looking at Clemens with his head tilted.

Below the tiger, a group of ant-like humans are surrounding him vigilantly, always paying attention to the crises that the humans above may encounter.

"Why did you take the initiative to destroy the ring?" Clemens finally said it, although it was particularly difficult to speak.

"How should I answer this question?" The boy, who was sitting on the tiger's flesh pad, put one hand behind his back, feeling the softness under his palm. Suli suddenly thought of his cat before he traveled through time...

After gathering the thoughts that kept extending in his mind, Suli pondered for a second before giving an answer: "Rather than being controlled by power, I would rather control power. And if the price of having power is to be controlled by power, then in my opinion, this is not a choice at all."

Suli looked into the eyes of the tiger. Compared with the human below, there was no worry or panic in his eyes: "Isn't it natural to give up power and maintain your own self?"

His words were spoken so naturally that Tiger didn't even have time to appreciate the deep meaning of his words before he felt the green pupils...

Kindness.

There seemed to be something abnormal going on between the enemy and us.

Clemens' heart, which had been beating unsteadily, seemed to have regained its normal rhythm.

"But have you ever thought that without the power to fight me, you will have to face the death of all human beings?"

"Expecting mercy from the enemy is the most foolish thing to do in my opinion." Clemens did not realize that the kindness of human beings only came from his instantly bald hair.

Sully was truly ashamed.

Only Tiger continued to say, "You shouldn't do this."

"Then what do you think I should do?" Sully did not intend to hear the answer to his question from Clemens. "Kill you and then start analyzing how many cloaks I can make from the fur of a tiger as big as you? Or, make a specimen of your body and put it in the exhibition hall and charge tickets?"

"I would choose to give up these powers, certainly not on a whim."

Situation analysis may sound grand, but in essence it is just the decision-making that an adult should have.

"Do you know how fast human thinking can be in one second? At least in my opinion, the only concept that can be compared to it is that the universe can give birth to 4,000 stars in one second."

Sully is saying something that no one can understand again.

The vigilant thoughts of the humans below turned to helplessness in an instant, but they began to bald the next second...

This is a battlefield! How can they be so relaxed?

Perhaps this is Suli's unique magic.

The person involved was not aware of the other humans' thoughts. Sully only told Clemens: "The wounds on your body were not caused by me. Although it is unclear where the injuries came from, in the final analysis, your opponents, your enemies, are only humans and monsters."

"As a fellow human, I don't think I am great enough to represent the entire human race and confront someone like you head-on, and then be praised as a hero by others. To be honest, if the storyline in an RPG game is written like this, it will only be criticized by players. Is the brain of the planner connected to the Atlantic Ocean?"

After saying something that Tiger couldn't understand, Suli said in a natural manner: "If you don't understand the above conversation, I can also give you a simple summary."

"In short, your opponent was not just me from the beginning. Your other opponents have already possessed the ability to resist and fight back against you."

Clemens understood this.

But he still says, "But..."

Suli: "Do you think they will suffer great sacrifices, or do you think that if no heroes come forward and the disaster is shared equally by everyone, the pain that everyone will have to bear will be far greater than the suffering that only one person has to bear?"

Sully expressed what was in Clemens' mind.

【Tiger】Looks surprised.

Different from the feeling of being seen through during a fight, the feeling now is like a growing cub whose entire future actions are suddenly predicted by the elders who have been keeping an eye on it.

A little weird.

But the feeling now is different from the fear caused by being seen through during the war. Instead, the feeling now is filled with a kind of...

——He can understand my weird cognition.

"Abandon the small self and achieve the greater self. There is no need to elaborate on the explanation in the encyclopedia.

I am only saying what this means to me.

Between wanting to travel and wanting to be 007, I chose to give up the former, which gave me unlimited travel options in the future.

You don't have to choose a travel destination based on the length of time you have, nor do you have to consider whether saving money is a pity.

Ultimately, looking back at the results, the choices I made were equivalent to giving up my small self and achieving my greater self.”

"This is an individual choice, and it shouldn't become a group choice. You can't ask someone who wants to travel to be 007, that's just coercion."

"As for me," Suli showed a brilliant smile, "I am a very selfish person. When faced with the choice between [me] and others, I will only choose [me]."

Clemens' eyes were already spinning.

He didn't understand what was said, but he still knew: "You are not selfish."

"You clearly know that my other opponents already have the power to fight me, and whether or not you have the power has no decisive influence on the confrontation between groups.

Then,

Considering that your actions will not affect others, you finally choose to give up those things. Once they affect you, they will even indirectly bring unknown effects to other people..."

"This has nothing to do with selfishness..."

"Now let me ask you a question." Suli interrupted Clemens before he could continue. "You can understand human beings, so why do you insist on making a choice that goes against human nature?"

Sully led Clemens straight into the ditch.

When Tiger caught him, Sully felt strange, but when Tiger's card shell dialogue method appeared, Sully suddenly realized that Clemens himself didn't know why he did this.

After that, all the topics initiated by Suli came to fruition naturally under his instigation.

The young man had no shame in directing other people's thoughts. He used his hands to support his body and sit up, increasing his strength:

"You know, once you choose to give up the orc territory, those places occupied by Leia will never be given up again.

Even the monsters in the territory could become the dead souls of the aquatic monsters at any time."

"This is not the correct behavior for a beast king with human consciousness."

"I no longer want to explore various information and test carefully. I just want to know whether you, as the monster in question, can give me an answer that convinces me."

Tiger's eyes are like a late autumn city welcoming a misty drizzle, filled with haziness.

Clemens said in a difficult tone: "But I remember that not long ago, we wanted to kill each other's opponents."

When the boy's internal organs were attacked by the dark elements he controlled, there was no light in his eyes at all.

To put it in terms that ordinary people can understand, Sully had murderous intentions towards Clemens at that time.

【Tiger】Trying to escape from Suli's influence.

But Sully, who has been found out and knows that he has human cognition, will never give him this opportunity.

"You have to understand that a young man who has a lifespan of a hundred years and is no more than fourteen years old in this world, after deciding his own life or death, will not be able to control his dissolute behavior."

In short, since I'm not dead, everything is still under control.

Clemens's move broke away from Tiger's control over himself, but coincidentally joined Sully's control over others.

This was an opportunity that the Tiger had released on its own, so there was no reason for Suli not to take it.

At least Clemens is now thinking about what kind of thinking logic a normal teenager, who is nearly fifteen years old, fourteen in appearance, and thirteen and a half years old in reality, should have.

Facing death, you must be afraid, right?

Afraid that the power in their hands will be used against their own people.

He is unwilling to allow his body to be controlled during a fight, thereby delivering a fatal blow to his opponent.

The most important point is that when the boy gave up his strength and fell down, he did not even consider the possibility of other humans catching him.

Too far away...

as well as……

The "Tiger" in the boy's mind is the kind of monster that will never let go of the enemy in a weak position, right?

If Clemens was really the kind of monster that would do anything to win, then the human boy's unwillingness to target his weakness and indirectly give up his strength would only become a regret that he would not want to dissipate even after his death.

Want to respond?

There is no need to answer this question.

Clemens gently lifted the boy's body and lowered him to the ground. The Tiger ignored the other humans' eager gazes and made sure that Sully was standing firmly before saying, "I won't let you down."

At least in terms of being honest with your opponents.

Sully was unwilling to gain such a despicable victory because of external things, and Clemens naturally would not despise himself and him.

Suli: ???

"Um……?"

Sully didn't even have the time to express his doubts, and naturally had no chance to find out what Clemens had in mind.

At this time, Egbert and others had hurriedly surrounded him.

"Lord Sully... Even if we know that you have your own unique opinions on everything you do, you shouldn't put yourself in danger without permission. If..." Egbert half-knelt on the ground, he tilted his head back and looked at Sully's body with great worry.

Afterwards, he looked at Clemens again, but only for a moment before turning his head away.

"If he didn't catch you, if we didn't catch you in time, then you..."

Sully interrupted him, and the young man lowered his eyebrows, looking at the young man who was himself in his eyes and heart. He reached out and pressed down Egbert's brown hair, which was covered with dust and looked a little wolfish.

Suli said calmly, "I'm fine."

"Thinking about other possibilities is about making things seem more complete. If you think about too many bad consequences, you will just ignore the present."

Sully's words, as always, carry what he perceives as guidance, but others perceive as manipulation.

For example, Egbert was now willing to feel the warmth of Sully's palm.

Roy really wanted to kick Egbert's butt, whose fur had been smoothed out in an instant, but the two-star mercenary's expression did not soften.

"Even if the outcome was good, and we didn't have to worry about the bad consequences, you didn't give us any hints, and you just gave up your power and fell from the sky...

Are you testing our empathy for you?

Or is it trust? Should I feel honored by this? "

"Neither." Suli raised his head and looked at Roy's chest, "...you are too close."

A nearly two-meter-tall man, compared to his 1.7-meter-tall...

Sully felt that his height, at fourteen or fifteen years old, made him look too petite.

Roy took a step back after hearing this, but still looked unhappy.

Suli continued, "It's just because the next attack from Cyril is about to be launched."
