Chapter 2: Rean Schwarzer is willing to die in exchange for peace in the world
Even if Rean has entered the realm of "emptying himself", even if he has overcome the impossible and surpassed himself again and again, his roots are always human, and--
Human beings have limits.
Miracles come at a price.
No matter how many times I say this, the truth remains the truth.
The limits of human beings are no longer able to bear the cost of awakening this miracle.
It was already good to be able to compete head-on with Osborne and Ishmag like this without being completely destroyed on the spot.
This is Rean today.
The "exchange" he mentioned more than once during his journey is also the origin of the saying "When you are twenty, you are invincible. After you turn twenty, it doesn't matter whether you live or die."
"Lord God, can you tell me how long I have left to live?"
"You just have to ask the right person, no, ask the right god. Just stop and take a good rest. You can still live for another ten or eight years. Of course, if you can go to the next level, then maybe."
"Continue to use your strength, how about today?"
"To put it simply, if you use it once, it will be shortened by ten times. If you use it twice, you will only have one month to live at most. If you use it three times, huh, it will turn into ashes directly, and there won't even be any residue left."
"A month?" Li En automatically filtered out other information and nodded slightly, "That's enough."
"You really don't want your life." The unknown god opposite was speechless, "You are so young, have you lived enough?"
"How could it be possible?" Rean shook his head. Who would want to die if he could live? It's just that - "someone has to do some things."
"Does it have to be you?"
"It can only be me, and I hope that person is me."
The relationship with Osborne, the grudge with Hei, the identity of the initiator, the gift from an unknown god, the recognition of the False God... Ling Ling Zongzong, doesn't the total add up to the sentence "Who else would you give me?"
Li En has a modest personality and doesn't like to brag, but he knows his position very well.
"Furthermore, Caster and Rider have fulfilled their commitments with their lives, and the same has happened to the other servants. Next, it is my turn as the Master."
Although the wish he made to the False God was "to obtain the power (sword) to reverse the future", in fact, his real thought in his heart has always been - Rean Schwarzer is willing to die in exchange for the stability of the empire, and Rean Schwarzer is willing to
Death brings peace to the world.
Before coming back again, he made up his mind from the moment he chose to fly to outer space with the curse and sleep with Ishmag forever.
Hearing such decisive words, the unknown god opposite gave a rare sigh:
"It's not like that bastard at all, but it's a bit similar to me when I was young... That's right, this is human beings, full of possibilities."
Some people become afraid of death because they have died once.
Some people become afraid of making mistakes because they missed something once.
And some people, because they died once, don't mind dying again, as long as it's worth dying.
Such as the collective will of witches and goblins, such as Rean in front of me.
Maybe other people can't see it, and people who are already determined to die don't want the living to see it, but "He" can see it.
He saw the night when the "Dawn of Dawn" plan was officially finalized, the bold laughter of the previous generation of witch leader, and the madness reflected in the long glasses of the first generation of goblins.
On the contrary, Li En couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade him, but he was comforted by the two people, or it could be said to be two groups.
——Don’t you always say that you stood on the shoulders of your predecessors to achieve what you have today? We are those predecessors, and we are your shoulders.
——In fact, the same is true for human beings. The predecessors are the cornerstone of future generations, and we carry your future. Master, it is enough for me to be able to appear in this world, meet you, see the current empire, and see the inheritance and development of technology.
Don't forget what you promised us, take revenge on Albelisi and Ishmag, and help us take good care of the goblins, especially the little girl who has inherited our bloodline.
——You, you singles actually dare to run away?
——First, we are not all singles, otherwise the goblins would have been extinct long ago. Second, what happened to the singles? Singles are eating your rice! Besides, you are allowed to support the witch girl to snatch men, but we are not allowed to support it.
Descendants of your own family?
——So, you must go against us?
——Who is going against whom?
——You and us!
——Damn, I’ve tolerated you for a long time! Be careful I hit women!
——Come on, come on, it’s not like you haven’t fought before, have you forgotten how the battle for the treasure happened?
…
…
…
At the end of the commotion, he saw Li En's expression change from complicated to firm, and he could see clearly.
I think it was then that I made up my mind.
"Is this what you want me to see?" The unknown god muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "That's why he not only copied the heroic spirit system, but also incorporated the concept of the Holy Grail War
Moved here together? Do you want me to——"
While thinking, Li En spoke again: "Um, Lord God?"
"What's wrong? Do you want me to save you?" What was in his mind came out.
"I don't dare. Although I have thought about it, I can't pay you for saving me." Rean answered honestly.
Even life and soul are like candles in the wind, what else can be given?
Although there is also a gift from another god that is almost unasked for, that kind of thing can only be decided by the god himself. He can only think about it and never say it out loud.
This is the basic quality of being a human being. There is always some persistence that is more important than life.
Naturally, this thought cannot be hidden from the god opposite:
"Say this, it seems that I am stingy. Although I have a problem with the guy behind you, you are not him after all, and there is nothing wrong with you as a master, so let me give you a hint -
—Things that can save you are always by your side, but...
Firstly, that guy didn't tell you the essence of the Servant system and the correct usage of something. Secondly, if I don't nod, that thing will never become a complete entity.
Therefore, the only Master in this world, please work hard.
Finally, I have a message for you: will can change reality, thoughts can be turned into power, and the heart of belief is your magic... Ahem, I haven't spoken such a neutral line for a long time, why are you so uncomfortable... Okay,
I won’t talk to you anymore and go back to where you belong.”
After saying that, without giving him a chance to reply, Li En only felt someone kicked him hard on the back of his head, and then he lost consciousness in a sudden spin.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he only had one thought: Why do you gods like to kick people in the back of the head?
Is it possible that the first power given by gods to the human world is "leg power"?
