Chapter 240 Chapter 240 The Importance of Speaking Well...
"I'm the angry NPC you've hung me on the wall, forced me to be a spectator, and ignored by both of you."
Li Hua placed a card on the top of the staff, gestured to Benjamin who was trying to play a second game, asking him to hold back, and then spoke calmly.
"Albedo, whether you believe it or not, I never spread rumors about you. Your current predicament is not caused by him, so your anger should not be directed at him, nor at other innocent people."
"Although this first meeting wasn't pleasant, I understand your discomfort and irritation in this alien body, so I still hope to sit down and talk with you calmly."
Albedo threw the exhausted God Tyrannosaurus to the ground. "Are you going to convince Benjamin to give me the Omnitrix? I can get it myself right now. I don't need your help."
Li Hua: "Impossible. The Omnitrix originally belonged to Benjamin. Why would I give it to you?"
"Then there's nothing more to discuss. I must get the Omnitrix. You say you understand the pain of being trapped in an alien body? Stop lying!"
Albedo roared.
"How can you possibly understand the torment I feel from being born into this body, a perpetually sweaty, noisy, always hungry, hairy, and smelly human teenager? Especially when I can't control my craving for hot sauce and chips and my scratching and clawing at my private parts?"
He is about to, no, he has already defeated BEN10 and will soon take the Omnitrix and escape from this cage. He must not stop here!
Li Hua: "So there's nothing to talk about?"
Albedo: "No need to talk."
When the last note fell, the human boy wearing the Earth skirt disappeared on the spot.
Albedo heard a noise behind him and was about to turn back to fight back when his perspective suddenly changed. The Ultimate Mighty Tyrannosaurus, which was supposed to be controlled by Albedo, turned in front of him and transformed into Benjamin Tennyson with white hair and red eyes in the red light that released the transformation.
Then he went up and kicked Albedo down, snatched the bird-beak staff that appeared in his hand out of nowhere and threw it away, then rode on him and punched him all over the head:
"I told you to hang me on the wall! I told you not to listen! I told you to blame others for everything! I think you deserve a beating!"
When Albedo saw that the other person was holding his bright red Ultimatrix, the only one in the universe, he immediately realized that this kid had exchanged bodies with him through some unknown means.
“What have you done!”
At this moment, Albedo finally panicked.
In his eyes, there is not much difference between the bodies of human teenagers on Earth. What Albedo fears is the principles behind them that he cannot understand.
Before this, he knew very well why he had become a clone of Benjamin, and of course he also knew how to recover. In the final analysis, it was just a matter of technology.
But this kid is obviously using something that works on a different principle. The underlying logic of the problem has been rewritten. Even if Albedo gets the Omnitrix now, it’s useless!
"I am doing justice for the heavens!"
When Li Hua and Albedo were fighting, Benjamin did not intervene, and it was not easy for him to intervene.
After all, Albedo is now holding Li Hua's body, and Benjamin does not have the courage and ruthlessness to fight both teammates and enemies like Li Hua.
But when Li Hua's triangle choke was about to take place, Benjamin immediately stepped forward to block it. Even Jason, who was a little further away, rushed over and tried to separate the two by pulling one of them with Benjamin.
"You can beat him up if you want, but why are you pinching him?"
"Alright, alright, that's enough... Don't forget what you promised me!"
Not to mention that this is Li Hua’s own body, even if this is Albedo’s human skin, you can’t hit it like this!
The triangle choke will compress the neck and stop the blood supply to the brain. It can usually make a person unconscious in a few seconds, and it may also cause a person to speed through the entire life cycle.
Li Hua has always been able to perform a triangle choke. However, due to his buff, the triangle choke can easily turn into a triangle guillotine, so Li Hua only practiced it during sparring and training.
That is to say, Li Hua is prone to being careless when using his killing moves. This is why Benjamin specifically warned Li Hua not to go too far and kill Albedo before leaving home.
Because there is indeed such a risk if Li Hua takes action, and the probability is not small.
Before Benjamin could figure out why Li Hua was so angry this time, he heard the telepathic communication from No. 666.
He's acting, saying this is a good opportunity to play the good guy, and the bad guy role will be handed over to you two.
The magic boy class is open!
What should you do if your conversation partner is stubborn and refuses to listen? They probably owe you something, so use the Adjustment Face-Breaking Fist!
If one punch fails, kick him again, forcing him to choose between psychological and physical "calmness".
Benjamin was shocked.
He knew that Li Hua would become so ruthless in the future that he would even betray his past self.
But I didn't expect that Li Hua has now developed to the point where he can even harm his own body at present and himself in the next few days!
Benjamin made a "planned" gesture to Jason, who was planning to touch the props and hold the two of them down.
Jason was shocked and deeply moved at the same time.
I didn't expect that you, Li Hua, are so bold. Next time, I will never sneak a drink of your instant milk tea again!
Realizing that his situation was hopeless, Albedo didn't struggle when Jason pulled him away. He just looked at Li Hua in astonishment as he was twisting in Benjamin's hands and shouting, "Don't stop me! I haven't even beaten him yet because he made me suffer from the anti-aircraft water cannon."
Albedo: I agree with what you said before, but weren't you the one who hit Benjamin with the anti-aircraft water cannon? How can you so confidently put the blame on me?
The simple-minded researchers on Gavin Star were completely unable to understand this weird and rogue combat mentality.
How could someone beat up both the enemy and his teammates, then suddenly rush onto the battlefield and switch bodies with the enemy, and then continue to beat up the enemy that was thrown into his body?
Albedo thought that Benjamin was already acting recklessly without considering the consequences, but he didn't expect that there was an Earth teenager who was even more reckless than Benjamin!
After Benjamin "finally" managed to calm Li Hua down, Jason asked Albedo, "Your powerful Ultimatrix is gone. If you want to be back to your old self, you need to calm down and have a good talk."
"...If you don't give me the Omnitrix, I won't be able to recover my body on Galvan," Albedo said. "Obviously, we can't reach a consensus on this point, and any further discussions will be impossible."
"I can't give it to you directly, but you can definitely come to me for cooperation when you need to use the Omnitrix."
Benjamin let go of the "calmed down" Li Hua and said.
"If you had not chosen to deceive us in the beginning and take the initiative to attack me and my companions, but instead asked me for help, I would have helped you."
"How could you possibly help me?" Albedo said, "You're just a reckless, childish, selfish brat who has no idea what the Omnitrix is really like and uses it to play hero games to look cool...you're just going to mess everything up!"
"I used the Omnitrix to help others, saved many people, and even saved the universe!"
"You did save the universe, but you also nearly destroyed it! Do you want me to recount all the trouble you've gotten into using the Omnitrix as a toy? Thanks to Azmis, I know all of that!"
After listening for a while, Jason realized that Albedo was basically bringing up old things, so he asked, "Those things you're talking about happened five years ago, right?"
After all, according to the timeline of this universe, it has only been a few weeks since Benjamin brought the Omnitrix back, which does not match the time of the events described by Albedo.
"Yes." Albedo glared at Benjamin unwillingly, "So I can't trust you at all."
"I was only ten years old then. I'm not so childish anymore. I've changed!"
Benjamin was speechless for a moment. He was indeed a bit lawless and naive five years ago, and his first meeting with Albedo was also...
Well, he doesn't remember.
Benjamin had only been to Gavin once and met Albedo once, so he really couldn't say he was familiar with him.
So much so that after Albedo came to Earth and announced his identity, Benjamin didn't remember who he was. It was only later that Gwen remembered him, and Benjamin connected "Albedo" with Azmis's assistant at the time.
Albedo insisted, "Absolutely not. Five years wouldn't have allowed you to change so much!"
Before Benjamin and Albedo started another round of verbal abuse, Jason said, "Wait a minute, I think I realized why you two were arguing."
Then Jason asked Albedo: "Are you the same age as Azmis?"
Albedo: "You must be kidding! I'm only a few hundred years old!"
Jason continued to ask, "Are you an outstanding person among your peers?"
"People of the same age?" Albedo said proudly, "Except for Azmis, you won't find anyone on Gavin who has achieved such success at a younger age than me!"
"So what age are you now? Middle-aged?"
"I'm not that old yet. In your human terms... around 20 years old."
"Can the people of Gavin live for tens of thousands of years?"
"Not without the help of technology, but a few thousand years is possible."
“…”
Jason slapped his forehead. He finally understood the origin of the conflict between Benjamin and Albedo.
The perception of time by the people of Gavin and Earth is completely different. Five years for Albedo may be at most five days... or at most, five months ago.
Jason calculated Albedo's perspective and sense of time and found that the situation was like this:
Five months ago, a naughty kid used a screwdriver to poke an electrical socket, unscrewing the valve on a gas tank and causing a gas leak that nearly ignited a flame and blew up half the house (the universe). Then, a whole bunch of other troubles followed.
However, five months later, this naughty kid changed his clothes and said that he could be trusted to inspect and maintain the electrical wiring and gas in the entire house!
As someone who has witnessed this naughty kid getting into trouble up close and heard his mentor talk about the details of his troubles, who would dare to let this "naughty kid" hold an important position?
On this basis, Albedo, worried, went to Azmis and expressed his distrust of the naughty boy. He also said that if someone had to perform this function, he would be more suitable than the naughty boy because he was involved in the research and development of maintenance equipment. As a result, the instructor was fired...
After considering the different sense of time, we can find reasons for many of Albedo's inexplicable behaviors and blaming others.
Not only Albedo, but even Azmis's logic can be traced.
In the eyes of Azmis, who was thousands of years old and had spent centuries developing the Omnitrix, he regarded Albedo, a fellow tribesman, being thrown into prison for decades, or spending decades in a human body as nothing more than "grounding for a week".
Therefore, Azmis felt that there was no need to lift Albedo's "house arrest". Albedo did something wrong and should be "house-bound" to reflect on himself.
But Azmis underestimated the mental torture that the human body would cause Albedo, and torture cannot be calculated using ordinary sense of time, not to mention that Azmis did not set a time limit for this punishment.
Albedo felt like each day was a year long due to the constant mental torture and no end in sight. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he started this "self-rescue".
Summary: The misalignment of time sense, racial cognition gap, and logical misalignment caused by lack of communication have led to repeated conflicts between Benjamin, Albedo, and Azmis.
The most important point is that these three people are all epic stubborn people who are soft-hearted and will not tolerate tough tactics, but they also almost always only know how to use tough tactics.
So the situation froze in an awkward manner.
At this moment, Jason completely understood Benjamin and Li Hua's psychological state when they forced him to meet Nightwing after his resurrection and before he met his family.
Because now, Jason also wanted to hold Benjamin and Albedo's heads with Li Hua, and roar in their ears: "Speak nicely!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I don’t know exactly how old Albedo is, but the creator in Wiki said he is hundreds of years old [covering his face with laughter and tears]
The Gavins really have a good sense of time... In the original work, fifty years or so is a small error in their eyes. There was a case where something was taken by mistake fifty years ago, but they were not in a hurry to retrieve it. They discovered it at the time, but had to wait until the expected crisis occurred fifty years later before they could retrieve the item.
Those three were still very young Gavins. Judging from the length of their beards, they were about the same age as Albedo. It was even harder to say how the older generation of Gavins sensed time.
