Chapter 240: Kama Taj asks for a monthly pass) 4000 characters
The explanation given by Ancient One to Kai made Kai have more questions about the world.
"Why did those immortals do this?" This was Kai's first question.
"Freedom! They do this just for freedom!" Gu Yi gave an answer that Kai could never have imagined.
"Freedom?" This answer is too vague. According to the information Kai has received now, those immortals are extremely powerful, and there is no existence in this world that can enslave him!
Gu Yi saw Kai's doubts, and she asked Kai: "Do you believe in fate?"
Kai squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"But fate does exist, at least before the immortals made their final plan, fate did exist. At that time, everything in the world was controlled by fate, and even the gods could only succumb to the arrangements of fate. Most people
Knowing nothing about this, they are undoubtedly lucky and can live their lives carefree and confused. But some people see their fate, which makes them extremely painful, because they feel that it denies the meaning of their existence.
It was also at that time that a group of people decided to resist. They did not want to be the puppets of fate. They called themselves immortals."
"We don't know how those immortals did it back then. We only know that many years ago, the immortals blocked the East and fought a decisive battle with destiny there. They won that battle, and they helped the world break free.
The shackles of fate, but the result of that battle also caused the immortals to lose everything. After the immortals completed the protection of the world, they completely disappeared."
Gu Yi told Kai what he knew without any concealment. Kai couldn't tell the truth from the false, so he just listened and believed it until he found evidence.
"Second question, where have all the gods gone? Why has Camelot disappeared as well?"
"Each of the gods has their own destination, and I don't know. All I know is Asgard. They left the earth and rebuilt their own civilization in another world. And I don't know the whereabouts of the ancient Celts.
Clearly, I only know that it seems that the mage named Merlin used a huge spell to strip them of this dimension. As for where they went... I can't do anything."
"Have you left?" Kai couldn't explain exactly what he was feeling at that time. He was a little sour and a little relieved. Kai didn't like to show his emotions in front of outsiders, so he quickly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and then
Asked: "Does this mean that the current world is maintained by you?"
Ancient One shook his head: "It's 'us', I'm not alone. The guardian of the world is too great, so it can't be maintained by the power of one person alone. So a long time ago, Agamotto organized a group of mages to serve as guardians of the world.
maintainers, and this organization continues to this day.”
Kai was a little strange now. Since he was an organization, why would he turn a blind eye to the war happening in front of him? It shouldn't be difficult to eliminate a war with the ability of a mage. If there was only Gu Yi before, Kai could understand
, how powerful can one person be?
But now he knows that Gu Yi is not alone! Then why did she sit back and watch this war happen? Isn't their duty to protect the world?
Kai didn't hide his doubts.
And Gu Yi also gave his own answer.
"What we protect is the world, but human beings are free. We have no obligation, let alone the right, to tell them what they should do and what they should not do. Unless there is a catastrophe that threatens the survival of the entire human race, we cannot interfere.
Humanity."
"So you never tried to stop the war?"
"That's their own choice! Have you seen those demons?" Ancient Yi asked.
"Yes, I also want to say. Didn't Agamotto always want to completely solve the demon invasion? Why did he come to your place and sit back and watch those demons appear?" In the era when Agamotto was still alive, demons had always been Agamotto's main concern.
Opponent, he has always believed that demons are the biggest enemies of mankind. The relationship between humans and demons is equivalent to that of a wolf and a rabbit. No, it is more naked and terrifying than this relationship.
In the eyes of demons, humans are a precious resource similar to oil. They will do anything to get it. This is why Agamotto is always on guard against demons.
But now, what Kai sees is completely different. This world does not say that demons are running all over the streets, but from the news that Kai has received, it can be seen that there are not many demons appearing in this world.
"Devils...demons cannot come into this world through the guardianship of the world. But those summoned by humans themselves are not included in this category. We can prevent the invasion of demons, but we cannot prevent humans from actively letting demons in. We will protect the world
, but we will try not to interfere with human beings’ choices.”
Does Ancient One like demons to be active in this world? Of course not, she would choose to kill all the demons if she could. But the reality is that humans summon demons to come to this world. This is very helpless.
"Kama Taj's responsibility is to protect the earth from being invaded by other latitudes. We only deal with invasions from the outside world and will not interfere with the secular world. Our highest rule is not to interfere with the operation of this world, whether it is good or bad, it is
Human beings' own choice. This is also the free will that the immortals want."
When she was young, Gu Yi couldn't understand this rule, why they had such powerful abilities but remained silent to the outside world. But as she grew older, she finally understood Agamotto's painstaking efforts. He was trying to avoid Kama Taj.
Become a yoke to humanity.
Absolute power will only bring absolute corruption. If you want to prevent Kama Taj from degenerating, the best way is to withdraw Kama Taj from the world and look at the world with a more rational and objective attitude. If
If they participate too much in this world, they will definitely be assimilated by this world. Once they are involved too much, interest relationships will naturally appear. Once interests appear, can Kamal Taj still look at the world fairly and objectively? At that time,
What will become of Kama Taj?
Human beings may have many shortcomings, but they can always learn something from some things, no matter whether those things are good or bad. This is also the expectation of those great beings for human beings. On the contrary, when human thoughts are restrained, human beings can truly
is "dead"!
Kai was a little uncomfortable with what Gu Yi said. When a disaster occurs, having the ability to stand aside and do nothing is not in line with Kai's views. But Kai can also understand what Gu Yi means.
To describe it simply, the relationship between the so-called mage organization Kama Taj and human beings is more like that of a parent to a child.
Parents will provide their children with a stable environment, but they cannot make decisions for them. The good and bad things that children experience must be experienced as they grow up. If parents interfere too much, the children will either be rebellious or completely spoiled.
…
Kai has no intention of changing Karma Taj's rules. Kai is just a time traveler, not an omniscient person. How does he know that Karma Taj's approach must be wrong? He only has a few decades of experience, and you ask him to guide a being.
How can an organization that has been around for almost ten thousand years do things? Don't be ridiculous, anyone who really thinks that way is either an idiot or an arrogant maniac.
At least over the years, others have done a good job.
Therefore, Kai decisively did not delve into this issue, but turned to business.
"Why did you call me here this time?" In fact, when Kai asked this question, he had a rough answer in mind.
"Ares!" Ancient One said.
Sure enough, it seems that only the matter of Ares can make Karma Taj, who has been hiding in the dark, suddenly contact Kai. Otherwise, Karma Taj has plenty of opportunities to contact Kai, and there is no need to specifically choose this moment.
"What happened to him that made you come to me on your own initiative?"
Although he asked this question, Kekai knew that it must be a terrible disaster, otherwise Kamathaj would not come to his door. After all, Kamathaj did not even intervene in the First World War, but Ares asked Kamathai to
Ji was exposed. One can imagine the magnitude of what Ares caused.
"He opened his realm of war!"
…
When Kai appeared again, his face was ugly. Half of it was because of the sequelae of the teleportation, and the other half was because of Ares.
This bastard finally did something big!
Thinking of this, Kai could only wake up the others in the middle of the night and tell them that they had no time to wait any longer and had to set off immediately.
Diana was a little strange. Didn't the Nautilus say it would arrive in the middle of the night? Why should we set off now? There are still a few hours left.
"There's no time to explain, let's leave now." After saying that, Kai suddenly began to make gestures with his hands, and then stretched out the index finger of his right hand to draw a circle with a diameter of about 30 centimeters in the air. An orange-red halo formed in the air,
It gradually grew larger, and finally formed a "door" about three meters in diameter with flashing orange sparks.
Opposite the door is a beach, and there is a sign on the beach that says 'Welcome to Astell Beach'.
Astor Beach is the best beach in Athens. This beach was very famous in later generations, but now... I can only say that apart from the Athenians themselves, not many people know about it. But the Temple of Poseidon is not ugly from the distance.
Where is the departure destination.
At least Afu recognized it as Athens at a glance.
A group of people looked at Kai stupidly. They didn't understand why Kai didn't show it earlier if he was so good at it. If so, how much time they would have saved.
"What are you looking at? This thing can be used once! Come over quickly!"
Of course, Kai doesn't know this kind of magic. This is entirely due to Gu Yi. In order for Kai to arrive in Athens as soon as possible, she specially helped Kai open the legendary door. Kai was just making random gestures there. Kai was very unhappy with this approach.
, what Gu Yi did was too mysterious.
But Gu Yi insisted that Kamathaj can only be known to those who need to know. As for irrelevant people, they do not need to know any information about Kamathaj. This time to solve Ares's troubles, Kamathaj's mage only needs to know.
Actions will be carried out in secret, and all the work on the surface needs Kai to complete.
Especially for Ares, Ancient One told Kai that not only were Kama Taj's mages not very proficient in combat, but they were also very few in number. In order to reduce losses, Ares taught Kai. Of course, in order to ensure that Kai could win, Kai
Got some preferential treatment.
He got a Kama Taj ring, which can temporarily ignore the suppression of the world guardian. In other words, Kai can now fully exert his full strength while the ring exists.
If it weren't for Ares, Karma Taj would not have allowed something like this that would destroy the balance to leak out. The World Guardian treats everyone in this world equally. Except for Karma Taj's mages, they have no choice.
It is the main force in safeguarding the world.
Soon a group of people passed through the portal.
Like Kai, everyone couldn't bear the aftereffects of the teleportation, and everyone started vomiting after passing through.
As everyone passed through, the portal also disappeared.
"What is that?" Diana felt a little better. After vomiting twice, she was almost done. But when she just looked up, she found that the sky in the distance turned blood red, and under the sky was a burning city!
"Athens!" Kai said coldly.
Within the city of Athens, after a day and night of massacre, the entire city has been completely reduced to hell. It has become a world of the undead and monsters. Humans have been basically killed. Countless limbs and broken arms are scattered randomly throughout the city. Blood has passed through
Such a long world still has not solidified. Instead, streams have formed in the streets, flowing continuously.
Monsters search for anything they are interested in in the city. What they love most is humans. Whether it is for simple killing or to vent, humans are their best targets. More monsters gather together, and they will
The corpses were piled up together, and then they danced a dance in honor of the God of War and ate human flesh with blood.
They compete with each other on how many people they have killed and are proud of it.
A strange-looking flying dragon flew through the sky, spitting out flames and igniting the remaining buildings. The crackling of flames and gas and the sound of broken window glass served as the best music to tell what the city had just experienced.
"Ares!!!!"
When a group of people saw this scene on a mountain near Athens, Diana couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ah... Ares... you have caused big trouble after all!"
Kai looked at all this with no expression on his face. To put it mildly, Kai was actually prepared for what he saw in front of him.
"Come on, let's end this!"
…
In the center of the city, in the former Greek palace, Ares opened his eyes on a throne made of bones.
"It's coming faster than I thought, Kai." After speaking, Ares ordered Phoebus beside him: "Go, my son, and lead my army to spread death."
Phobos frowned and looked at his father.
"Father, what about you?"
"Hahahaha, me? Of course I am staying to meet old friends. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"But..." Phobos said who was the old friend in Ares's words. But it was precisely this that made him worried. He knew that Ares never had an advantage against Kai.
"There is no but, Phobos." On the contrary, Ares was confident about this. "Don't forget, those stupid humans made me stronger than ever before."
The scale and brutality of the First World War indeed far exceeded all wars in human history, and war was the source of Ares' power. Therefore, Ares at this time was more powerful than ever before.
