Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Breaking Defense
After a brief silence, Cao Xun's neck suddenly tightened and the tentacles rolled him up into the air.
Chi Shuangliu's expression was icy, and upon closer inspection, he seemed a bit angry and embarrassed: "You're lying!"
Cao Xun: “…”
It was the first time he saw Chi Shuangliu's expression so rich.
"How dare I lie to you..." Cao Xun felt like he was going to die unjustly. He hurriedly said, "You have the ability to sense other people's superpowers. You can check hers yourself!"
Chi Shuangliu: "..."
Of course he could sense her abilities, but...
"Love" is a concept unique to humans, a product of dopamine and hormones. He doesn't even have the necessary conditions for love, so how can he have a beloved person?
Even if there was, it shouldn't be Chen Run. She was ordinary, stupid, and extremely emotional. She even wanted to betray him several times and took action, which broke his heart and caused him to be seriously injured and has not recovered to this day.
If he had any feelings for her, it should be contempt, disgust and hatred. He even wanted to kill her countless times. How could he love her?
"Why do you think..." Chi Shuangliu paused before speaking coldly, "Giving this person to me will please me?"
Cao Xun instinctively replied, "She can transform into the person you favor the most, that is, Shen Run..."
"So..." Chi Shuangliu tried his best to resist the urge to crush him to death: "Do you think I favor Chen Run?"
Isn't this obvious?
Chi Shuangliu's preference for Shen Run is as unquestionable as his existence.
"You are indeed special to her..." Cao Xun said hesitantly.
Chi Shuangliu gave the order indifferently: "Continue."
How could he possibly fall in love with Chen Run? His feelings for her were filled with negativity: violence, restlessness, resentment, and anger. He even considered killing her several times.
He wanted to hear what was so special about it.
Cao Xun gritted his teeth and continued, "For her, you would do the same as a normal human, doing chores and cleaning the house. You would rush to her rescue the moment she was in danger. Even though she and Chi Nu had previously teamed up to seriously injure you, you didn't kill her right away..."
As he spoke, he suddenly empathized with Lu Kuo: "Actually, I feel the same way about him. We grew up together, and I really think of him as my brother. Even though he took the blame for me and put me in jail, I couldn't bring myself to kill him..."
He smiled bitterly: "Actually, the reason I hate him is that I hate that he doesn't love me enough."
"Don't compare yourself with me!" All the things he had done were listed out one by one. Chi Shuangliu became angry and embarrassed again, and argued like a young man who was frustrated.
In order to maintain the image of a superior god, Chi Shuangliu had to awkwardly delete the scene of himself jumping up and down in rebuttal from Cao Xun's memory.
Cao Xun's memory was deleted, but his memory was not. Every word Cao Xun said was rooted in his mind.
He had to face a question - did he really hate Chen Run?
Although he is a high-dimensional creature, he still needs to follow basic logic when doing things. He hates all humans, so he curses all of humanity. Genetic diseases and superpowers coexist, and humanity is constantly divided.
Is he the same to Shen Run?
No, it's not.
The fact that her ability had no side effects was the best proof. When activating her ability, he could have chosen to curse her, allowing power and pain to go hand in hand, but he instinctively ignored this option.
From that time on, he had begun to treat her differently.
Why did Chen Run crush his heart, but he didn't kill him? Why would it only work if Chen Run carved his name on the statue? Why did he desire her? Why did he want to bind her to him through reproduction? Why couldn't he hurt her no matter what he did?
The original body would even restrain the instinct of destruction and killing for her, and the animal nature chose her before the rationality.
If it's love, then all of this has an answer.
Just as Cao Xun said, his so-called 'hate' was nothing but a more distorted form of love.
Chi Shuangliu closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little dizzy from the shock of this realization.
Love did not bring him salvation, but instead made him feel a sense of suffocation and fear, as if an invisible clasp was put around his neck.
He instinctively began to struggle and looked at Cao Xun: "...Don't tell anyone what happened today."
He must hide his love well.
Once she knew about it, love would become his weakness. The two of them had an inherent conflict, and she would dominate him - compared to this, he would rather let Shen Run think that he hated her.
His goal from the beginning to the end was to devour the Earth, restore his strength, and return to the universe. Nothing and no one could stop him, not even the so-called 'love'. 'Becoming stronger' was his top priority, and it took far more priority than love.
But he is extremely greedy. He wants power and he also wants love.
After everything is over, he will take Chen Run to the universe with him and let her accompany him at all times. In return, he will share eternal life with her.
As for Shen Run's own wishes, they were not within his consideration.
Love is about taking, taming, possessing, and invading - these are what he learned from humans.
He must tame her without letting her know of his love.
The moment he realized that he had fallen in love with Chen Run, Chi Shuangliu hardened his heart as quickly as possible.
