It is reckless to take up arms against an undefeatable enemy.

But when it comes to picking up a straight knife and facing an opponent who has a chance of defeating him, Suli will not have the slightest hesitation.

The boy's eyes were firm and he said, "If I had absolute power, I would choose to kill you."

"But this is only if I have absolute power. The so-called if, its subtext is another imagination different from reality."

This sentence remains ambiguous.

But Suli knew that this way of speaking would make it easier to completely control and even manipulate Him.

"In imagination, everything can be driven by extreme emotions, but in reality, rationality is still the first criterion for taking actions without regrets."

The world consciousness froze in place.

Sully glanced at him, then said, "You already know the if that only exists in your imagination, so what are you going to do?"

"Should I stop the war and stop myself from being able to rise above others and gain the growth that can buy me a glimmer of hope? Or should I choose to continue and destroy all other lives in this world?"

"I won't give you too much time to think about this." Sully glanced at the other people who were "suspended" around him, "At least compared to the final choice you made, I care more about whether their current condition will affect their bodies."

He exhaled deeply.

There seemed to be something extra in the originally empty eyes, but because I was still confused and unknown about the future, it was difficult to see the full picture of this extra thing.

"I choose to stop—"

When I made this choice, it didn't seem as difficult as I had imagined.

But when he found that the boy in front of him who looked like him had a gleam of understanding in his eyes, he suddenly felt ridiculous.

All action trajectories are predicted, and all needs and cognitions are seen through.

So it seems that there are two choices, but in fact no matter which one he chooses, the result will be just as he expected.

For the sake of so-called growth, stop the one-sided massacre of the other two tribes.

——He is simply a joke.

But the strange thing was that he suddenly started to think about why he felt like a joke.

Obviously, everything has been prepared.

To drag the entire world down with him was the goal He set after He knew that He had no possibility of growth.

But when he suddenly discovered the possibility of growth, his world consciousness, which he thought was equal to the entire world, suddenly became like a little clown...

"This choice must seem ridiculous to you."

"So many Jixing died, so many humans and monsters fell, but the final result was this so-called reconciliation."

"Besides, your desire to kill me is real. You are very young and it is time for you to grow. With your abilities, you will one day surpass me. With the growth potential you have given me, in your future, do your best to become a world consciousness that cannot be killed by you..."

He smiled bitterly: "I think that now it is not that I have lost the initiative, but that I have handed over the whole world to you."

This is terrible.

Those ways of thinking, those choices made, those words unconsciously revealed the unique ability to move His mind.

Before He knew it, He had become a butterfly on the spider's web.

It is easy to be captured.

Moreover, even when He lowered His head on His own initiative, He could not see the slightest bit of pride or satisfaction on Suli's face.

World consciousness, an existence that lives above the monster civilization.

He has no rival in this world.

The surrender of this kind of character should be somewhat touching, right?

But Suli didn't.

He even felt that Suli didn't care about those things at all.

The boy is only concerned about how to achieve his goal.

And in the end, he was as successful as he had imagined.

As a result, the world consciousness feels even more powerless.

Everything was calculated, even the heart, whose existence he didn't even know, was seen through. The turbidity and clarity of the soul were all reflected in the depths of those green eyes. The despicable excitement hidden under the apparent depressed mood, and the thought of being happy about not having to die, must have been seen in his eyes.

It's easy to be seen through.

All the inferiority and compromise, without any emotion expressed in the eyes, were reflected completely.

He felt disgusted, but only at himself.

My mind is about to be driven crazy by this self-loathing emotion.

But as long as I looked at Suli again, and continued to look at Suli, and kept doing so, the pain seemed to be cleared away bit by bit.

Compared to himself, compared to the [Spirit] he created, compared to the [Tiger] that was created before the monster civilization was completely destroyed, Suli seemed to be the truly abnormal guy.

Such a person, such a guy, is he really a human being?

A world consciousness that believes itself to be equal to the world has begun to uncontrollably question whether Suli, as a human being, is actually a human being.

If the word God must be referred to by a specific image, the only one He could think of was Suli.

It's strange, I don't want to look directly at it, but when I really look at it, I can't look away.

Seduction, indifference, lucidity, and terror.

All these characteristics are mixed in Sully.

Sully has a unique sense of danger and world consciousness.

Compared to staring at him unable to take his eyes off, that strange sense of danger was more like a poison. Once you're infected, you'll never want to leave.

His body trembled, his soul quivered, and He couldn't help but lick his dry lips. A long time passed, and it seemed like only a blink of an eye. In the end, He just said, "No matter what you think, and whether you really want to choose to kill me after you have absolute power in the future, I don't care about these."

"I just hope that you can really provide me with 'growth'." He looked at Suli with extremely greedy eyes.

A human being who has no power to resist Him can provide Him with values ​​that He cannot refuse.

So what if it's despicable? It's not shameful for life to want to survive. Just like these humans, aren't they also choosing to rebel against Him in order to survive?

World consciousness has even learned to convince itself.

There was no change in the expression on Sully's face. He was too calm. When he didn't speak, the world's consciousness would uncontrollably think: Why?

Why didn't he speak? He looked at him coldly. Was it because he was wrong? How could he speak? What could he do so that he wouldn't be unhappy?

He wanted to put all the important things in the world in front of him, hoping that he could provide that insignificant growth for him. He also hoped that Suli would not explain it actively, but give him enough time to realize it on his own.

This act of psychological self-abuse made the world start to see Sully with a different eye.

The originally blank eyes suddenly became more burning.

He began to wonder why he had all these sudden passionate feelings towards Suli.

After thinking about it carefully, he quickly concluded that he might just be a dying person, staring at the life-saving miracle drug.

He thought he was thinking like this, and was clearly relying on his height to look down at Suli. However, the way he looked at Suli was as if he was looking up from below.

Everything is progressing faster than expected——

Thinking this in his heart, Suli said slowly: "Is this your final choice?"

"Choosing to believe in the growth I give you means that no matter what I say, you have to keep believing in it."

"Is that so?" Suli looked into His eyes.

"Yes." World Consciousness nodded without any hesitation.

That gesture seemed to express in all aspects how much He trusted Suli.

"But what if I let you die?" Suli clenched the knife in his hand. The tip of the knife had already pierced into his heart. Blood flowed down the blade and dripped onto the ground. In the silent environment, it was too obvious.

Without hesitation, He took a step forward.

After all, he was a carbon-based creature. The pain in his body made him groan involuntarily, and the deeper wounds made the blood surge in his throat.

He looked at Suli and said word by word: "If your growth requires the perception of life and death, then I can also choose to experience death for this growth."

“I’m in pain,” He said, “but my brain is telling me that it’s not just the pain in my body that’s really hurting. It’s the fear of dying that’s causing me pain. It’s telling me that you can’t accept death.”

"I don't want to accept the idea of ​​death. It's no longer a fear of death, but a fear that growth is right in front of me but I can't achieve it."

"I don't want to die. Reality tells me that only by staying by your side can I gain more growth. Death is a choice that can only be made once. Although there will be incredible growth between life and death, choosing to die is equivalent to giving up other possibilities, which is far inferior to staying by your side for a long time."

"I don't want to die. Only now did I realize how much I miss this world." His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

When He chose to take the initiative to step forward, He knew that He would really die.

Just like the tiger, this strange creature blending into the darkness does not have the characteristics of being killed.

The only one who can kill Clemens is Sully from another world.

And the only one who can kill him is Suli who comes from another world.

Will He die?

He suddenly began to think about what he would feel in this experience if he died, and what he would gain in the future if he did not die.

The former is a complete tragedy, because even if He grows, He cannot obtain the living that exists only because of growth.

The latter seems impossible.

Suli wanted to kill Him from the beginning.

Yes, there was no murderous intent in Suli, but He just knew that Suli wanted Him dead.

Want to live.

Unwilling to accept——

The potential for growth is clearly right before our eyes...

He suddenly paid attention to the other humans and monsters who he had always regarded as the background, and even Ji Xing whose faces were almost identical to his.

When they chose to fight Ji Xing, were they simply thinking about wanting to survive?

Only by living can there be a future.

He wants the future.

Don't want to die.

but……

What they don't want to do is launch an attack on Suli.

Not wanting to hurt him was not just out of fear of another world consciousness whose existence he didn't know whether it existed or not, he simply didn't want to hurt Sully.

The heart was pierced, the thinking began to blur, and the "core" deep in the heart was already vaguely on the verge of breaking.

Suli drew his knife.

Surprise, surprise, disbelief, all kinds of emotions were revealed.

He could only hear the boy in front of him say indifferently: "Unlock the 'stop' of this world."

Even if it was just an order, or even if it was only because Suli had no way to resolve this cessation that allowed Him to move and continue to live, He would still be happy about it.

"I feel like... I'm going crazy." He covered his heart, which was healing rapidly after the straight knife was pulled out.

The sound of the jumping made him feel for the first time what it meant to be truly alive.

But at the same time, the world that had stopped started to move again.
