Lin Ke looked at his dying enemy, but his heart became calmer.
At this moment, the winner has been decided and the hatred has faded.
What remains is only an objective examination of a king and a strong man.
Of course, to some extent, the Supreme Ruler King is indeed a strong man.
At least, in terms of being able to summon such a powerful and invincible demon with a mortal body, he is indeed a strong man.
His gaze lingered on the wounded body of the Supreme Ruler King.
This broken body once commanded hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Hebrew Empire, the twelve gods and the Supreme God.
Moreover, now, he has even planned a series of such shocking and terrifying conspiracies that almost changed the entire world.
Now, the culprit can only lie in a pool of blood, relying on his weak vitality to survive.
Lin Ke noticed that beneath the dense scars and bloodstains, the Supreme Ruler King's eyes retained a surprising clarity.
There was no weakness of begging for mercy, nor any fear of death in those eyes.
Even, there is no frustration of a loser.
What I do have is just a kind of calmness, a kind of acceptance of everything, as if I suddenly realized all the tranquility in the world.
Of course, in addition to these, there is something else.
If Lin Ke was not mistaken, there was also an instinctive recognition of the strong.
Even though Lin Ke's stance and beliefs were opposite to his, the two people standing at the top of their respective camps could feel the indescribable temperament of the other.
The soldiers' noise came from all directions, and calls for severe punishment of the tyrant rose one after another.
But Lin Ke didn't care at this time, because his attention was completely focused on the person in front of him.
Ramses stood aside, he did not say anything, just watched and waited silently.
As a god, it could understand the feelings of the Holy Pharaoh and the Supreme King at this moment.
The air around them was stagnant due to the tense atmosphere, and time seemed to be particularly long at this moment.
Lin Ke knew that his initial decision had far-reaching consequences. It not only concerned his personal destiny, but also the future direction of the two countries.
But at this moment, he just wanted to listen to the last words of this powerful enemy.
Listen to this guy's last words.
The soldiers' shouts became louder and louder, but Lin Ke just raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Step back, let Ramses and I handle this."
"I have something else to ask him."
The soldiers fell silent only after hearing the words from the great Holy Pharaoh.
They had no choice but to retreat to their original place one after another, but many of them still looked back from time to time, because they hoped to see with their own eyes the scene that this enemy received the punishment he deserved.
Like having hands and feet chopped off, or having the head chopped off or something.
However, the soldiers could also see that the Supreme Ruler King had suffered serious injuries, and he was now being tortured simply by being alive.
After the last soldier left, Lin Ke squatted down and looked straight at the Supreme Ruler King.
And when the Supreme Ruler King looked at Lin Ke's imperial eyes with thick black eyeshadow, his lips began to tremble even more violently.
"Holy...Pharaoh?"
Although they were just three simple words, it was very difficult for the Supreme Ruler King to say them.
"Say your last words."
Lin Ke's voice was calm, without any emotion.
"This is the first and possibly the last time we will talk."
Of course, this was not said out of pity.
For many years, this Supreme Ruler King has been the most dangerous enemy of Holy Egypt, an opponent that almost makes Lin Ke give his all.
After a violent coughing fit, the Supreme Ruler King looked past Lin Ke and towards the dilapidated walls of Jerusalem in the distance.
"What do you think of... this city, Saint Pharaoh?"
There was neither provocation nor flattery in his tone.
It's like asking an old friend you've never met.
Lin Ke tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction he was looking.
"not bad."
"At least, it's more distinctive than I thought."
The corners of the Supreme Ruler King's lips only showed a very bitter smile: "Yes, it is a feature."
"My brother once said that this city is a miracle sent from heaven."
"He is my father's favorite son. He has been brave and good at fighting since he was young. But I rarely get my father's favor."
He paused, his breathing becoming more rapid.
"Finally, when I finally ascended the throne, I wanted to prove that I was worthy of this honor."
"Just like my brother, I have never been defeated since I reached the pinnacle of power."
"In fact, I am almost going to unify the entire continent."
His eyes refocused on Lin Ke.
That is a kind of calmness and relief.
"If you hadn't appeared, I would have been sitting at the long table of the World Parliament at this moment, on an equal footing with the most powerful civilization in the world."
After saying this, the fire of his life obviously weakened a little, but his eyes became brighter.
"But now, look at this city... look at what I have done..."
He turned his neck with difficulty and looked around at the ruins of the war.
“I just realized now that I was wrong.”
"I shouldn't have summoned that demon, nor should I have had such ambitions to invade other civilizations."
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his voice became even weaker.
“Because of my greed, my people…the Hebrews, are about to face their end.”
Lin Ke listened to this confession quietly, and there was no special expression on his face.
Then he slowly said, "I remember there is an old proverb, 'It is better to be a citizen of a defeated country than a thief of a victorious enemy.'"
“Conquest is intoxicating, but history ultimately remembers men of virtue rather than men of power.”
"And the reason why Saint Egypt has reached this point now is that it follows the principle of 'seeking peace through struggle, peace will survive; seeking peace through compromise, peace will die.'
“Although the Hebrew Empire has fallen, the people of your nation are still alive, and I will not kill them.”
"On the contrary, they can gain a more lasting peace."
"Peace without war, oppression or aggression."
When the Supreme Ruler King heard Lin Ke's words, a few tears fell from his eyes.
Then, Lin Ke continued.
"You and your brother may have won many battles, but true victory has never been about conquering more land."
“It depends on what values you protect.”
The Supreme Ruler's eyes widened at these words.
It was shock, it was enlightenment, and it was also a kind of relief.
