Compulsory question for Suli?
He does not think that this human being, with his abnormal brain, is incapable of thinking of any other alternative.
In this case, let's leave the choice to those tiny and stupid humans and monsters.
Take a look——
He held Suli's shoulders, and a large amount of elemental power filled Suli's surroundings.
Those elements that were restricted by the so-called faith and filled Suli's body and would not leak out were once again restricted by elemental factors of different colors and completely sealed.
Now Suli is just an ordinary boy who still can't even finish running 3,000 meters.
He was so weak that he could only be held down and forced to look at all the humans and monsters.
Obviously, the faces of those humans and monsters turned ugly.
He was saying, either Suli would die with Him, or the whole world, including Suli, would die with Him.
Give the choice to a human being who has mastered the inevitability of growth?
He chose to make it impossible for all humans and monsters to grow, and chose to let the souls from another world die for Him.
Both humans and monsters can sense His evil intentions.
But there are still humans and monsters who think about so-called choices.
"This……"
"What should I do?"
"You ask me, how should I know?"
"What are you talking about? Either the whole world dies with Him, or only the child dies... After all, isn't this forcing us to kill the child?"
"What a joke!" The giant rhino spat, "I have been a monster for hundreds of years, and not long ago, I followed the orders of the dead king to slaughter an entire city of humans who had awakened their monster characteristics. I am so rotten that there is nothing to say."
"But what makes you think I'm so stupid that I can't see that the choice is not in our hands?"
"Even if you force that child to death, what do you mean by that you will die with him? It's just you, or a monster, talking nonsense there."
"What if that child dies and you are not dead? We will be the ones to die then."
"And if you died with that child..."
"It's so funny. Even if I'm a wretch who can commit a massacre, I don't think my life needs to depend on the death of a cub in exchange for a chance of survival."
Matilda sneered as well: "For hundreds or thousands of years, in the battles between monsters, didn't every monster that transformed rely on its own strength to fight for a chance to survive?"
"Relying on the death of a stranger child in exchange for a chance of survival that we don't even know if it's real, it's true that at first glance it doesn't have much impact on us, but do you think we're idiots?"
"He's the man who could kill Clemens!"
"We have already fought you, declared war on you, and it has come to this. Whether it is humans, monsters or Ji Xing, countless people have died. What makes you think that we will give up Suli and be so stupid as to choose to abandon him in exchange for the so-called chance of survival from you?"
"Even a madman wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Even a fool wouldn't be so stupid."
Even Bartholomew said, "I don't think any monster with a brain would choose Sully over you, who have a non-existent chance of survival."
"Like Matilda said, he is a man who can kill the tiger, so it is not impossible for him to kill you who is even stronger than the tiger."
"Don't say anything. It's possible that you choose to let us go and not drag the entire world down with you."
"That possibility, and the choice to kill you so that the world will never again be oppressed by invisible things - this is a choice that every monster knows how to make."
If monsters can still be communicated with rationally, then humans will point at their noses and scold them without any courtesy.
Egbert was so angry that he almost snorted: "Who are you? How can you compare with Lord Sully?"
"You still want Lord Suli to die with you... I didn't know that I had reserved a spot on the side of Lord Suli's tomb hundreds of years ago. Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to compete with me?"
"Don't say anything. Let the whole world die with you. Kill you, and the world will be fine, and Lord Suli will be fine too. Everyone will be fine, and only you, the damned thing, will die. This is the truly correct and absolute choice."
Custer hooked his arm around Egbert's back, his mouth curved up, and he blurted out a sarcastic remark: "I'm not like them. I always have too many excessive thoughts."
"For me, my concept, or my idea, is always just one."
"There is nothing in this world that can be compared to Lord Suli."
"Anyone who wants to be compared to him and tries to make others make irrational choices is the real damned one."
Even Ophelia could say coldly, "Are you comparable to him?"
"Your life is worthless, but his value, even if he is only a figure in the painting, can enrich Amiqbe's treasury in a very short time."
"you?"
"Pfft." Ophelia had a blank expression on her face, and her interjection was full of sarcasm.
His ferocious expression was also completely distorted in the truest sense of the word.
Suli felt like his shoulders were about to be crushed.
But he also found it very interesting.
Because now, before His emotional reaction becomes big enough to cause harm to Sully, everyone who speaks out is different from the choice they actually made in the beginning.
Egbert chose to give up himself and defend the city of Sri Lanka.
Custer was oppressed by the nobles and tried to kidnap them.
Ophelia indirectly facilitated Xia Zuo's becoming Julius.
All these things, whether noble or despicable, and even more vicious, are no longer the same as they are now.
Now, they don't even let the so-called choice become a choice.
A tangled expression? A confused look?
They use practical performance to tell the world consciousness——
That's just thinking before organizing the language.
When all the thoughts were expressed smoothly, mocking expressions appeared on the faces of all humans and monsters as if copied and pasted.
At this moment, Suli could even hear the sound of his bones cracking.
Suli turned his back to Him.
The young man spoke calmly, in a voice that only he could hear, "Then guess, before the multiple-choice question appeared, did I ever think about doing everything I could to kill you in a one-on-one situation?"
He was stunned.
Sully smiled.
That was a choice that was made from the beginning.
Because giving Him the knowledge of growth is essentially just an act to disturb His state of mind so as to influence Him.
Initially, the purpose of that conversation in the world where time stood still was to create the possibility of killing Him.
Suli knew that he, who was in a daze, was truly caught off guard now.
The dropped weapon was not grasped.
Compared to the handsome straight blade, Suli actually prefers the assassin profession in the game.
Come and go like the wind, leaving no trace.
The dagger slid from the sleeve into the palm of his hand. The handle of the dagger, which had already been warmed by body temperature, was even hotter than Suli's palm.
The young man felt the warmth in his palms, and before he could react, the sharp blade pierced into his heart.
The weapon is not a physical entity. The moment the penetration wound appears, the dagger melts like water and becomes a pure elemental body.
Is He a physical entity or a body made up of elements?
Is it a conceptual entity that is beyond human reach, or is it a real thing?
Fatal wounds will not kill, and crippling injuries will not affect His actions.
To kill Him, it was not the strength of the weapon or the magnitude of the elements that counted, but the trance he felt at the moment he killed Clemens.
To put it in a metaphysical way, it is called sudden enlightenment.
Only concepts can kill concepts.
Only the argument can transcend the argument.
What He sees is that humans make choices fail to fulfill their choices.
What Suli saw was His incomprehension.
He determines that human choices will be as He wants them to be.
Because the so-called choice means there is no other choice.
The choices He offers are not choices at all.
No matter which direction humans and monsters go, He will destroy this world.
Since the final choice will not change, living a little longer will become a possibility of luck.
What if?
What if Suli's death buys time for humans to think of other possibilities to defeat Him?
His thoughts were heading in a direction that could not be said to be wrong, but was also completely unrelated to the current situation.
If the initial concept of growth was to tear a hole in his determination to destroy the world, then the monsters and humans now made that hole a crack that could not be filled.
Can do——
Could kill Him.
Suli looked at Him with an expression that was almost gentle.
The hole in his chest, and other parts of his body that were unable to heal and were constantly collapsing...
All these became the root causes of his panic.
"Why?!"
"How could you possibly hurt me! A dagger made of condensed elements has no chance of hurting me at all!"
He roared and raged, and attacked Suli fiercely.
Matilda, who had been prepared early in the morning, rushed straight towards the boy, pushed him aside, and took the initiative to block the palm.
Blood flowed out of her mouth. The Feather Queen felt her injuries, which were not fatal, and suddenly remembered what the unicorn had said before.
Unable to recall those words, she only remembered the general meaning: every time you make an effort, you must be prepared to die. But every time, you must also leave yourself a ray of hope, so that you can have a chance to make the next effort.
Now, this is probably the actual manifestation of those words.
"Cough cough!" Matilda coughed heavily twice, and threw Sully, who had no elements and whose physical fitness was equivalent to that of a baby in this world, towards the strongest person except her, the unicorn Bartholomu.
Then, Matilda took the initiative to meet him.
At the same time, Suli, who stumbled a few times but was eventually steady and did not fall, also calmly told Him:
"The world is made of elements."
"You are just an element too."
"And in this world, the only one who has nothing to do with the concept of elements is me—"
"My soul, my will, is the best weapon to kill you."
