Upon hearing the emperor's words, the godfather just sneered: "There is no need for that."
"……Why?"
The emperor could tell that it was not a malicious ridicule.
The Godfather is not like other people in downtown who regard the "hero" as the director's dog.
He did not answer the emperor's words immediately, but just found a place to sit down.
As if he was the master, the godfather pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down, Emperor.
"I told you, we are going to talk for a long time...don't be so formal. You are already an old man, so don't be tired."
"Are you mocking me, Godfather?"
The emperor sat opposite the godfather, holding his knees with his hands. The old penguin sat upright like a stone lion.
Seeing that the emperor finally complied with his words and sat across from him, the godfather raised the corners of his mouth slightly, crossed his legs, and leaned comfortably on the soft sofa behind him.
"It was you who mocked me first, Emperor."
The godfather tilted his head and said calmly: "How do you know...that I am not a hero now?"
These words made the emperor instantly stuck.
For a moment, he didn't know what answer he should give.
The godfather still thought of himself and said: "I am the hero of the Lower City, the hero of the Uncoded. But I am not just their hero... I am the hero of everyone who longs for 'fairness'. No matter he is
Uptown or downtown, coded or uncoded, good or evil, human or elf.
"On the contrary, it's you 'heroes'. Of course, I also know... Since you can become heroes, your hearts must be clean at the beginning, your motives must be sacred, and your ideas must be selfless.
"I won't talk about meaningless theories of depravity or corrosion. Everyone wants to live a good life, so why should heroes suffer and live a hard life? Is it because of the meaningless mysophobia in people's hearts?
"They regard heroes as icons and worship them as gods. Even the slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified. Even if the hero does nothing wrong, just because they are not good enough, they will be harshly criticized by public opinion..."
At this point, the godfather sneered again: "You call that a hero? I call this a god.
"Mortals cannot become gods, Mr. Emperor. No one can satisfy everyone, and no one can be right all the time."
After hearing the godfather's words, the emperor fell silent.
Because he couldn't refute the godfather for a while.
He was ready for the church fathers to use extreme theories to sophistry.
But the emperor did not expect that what the godfather said was an upright and upright statement, a fact that cannot be disputed. That was indeed the conclusion the emperor came to after thinking for a long time...
The emperor could not deny the words of the godfather against his own conscience.
"I think I understand something, Mr. Emperor. You may have misunderstood my 'family'."
The godfather said gently.
His temperament is not at all like that of the king of the Lower City, the supreme leader of the vicious thugs, but rather that of a scholar.
"I didn't intend to gather those murderers. It's just that the first wave of people who followed me happened to have some blood on their hands."
"In other words," the emperor realized the meaning of the godfather's words, "you want to recruit me in turn?"
He actually wanted to laugh for a moment.
When he recruited his godfather, the godfather also wanted to recruit him.
What is this, heroes cherish heroes?
But it has to be said that the emperor was still a little happy to be recognized by such an outstanding young man as his godfather.
"Of course you can if you want, but now is not the time."
The godfather said slowly: "Because I have not yet demonstrated my vision and abilities. If you decide to follow me at this time, I will not dare to accept you. Because at this stage, I have not been able to attract talents like you.
ability……"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Didn't I say that?"
The godfather asked: "I want to give people justice."
"……are you serious?"
The emperor was immediately moved.
Only an old man like him could realize what crazy words the godfather was talking about.
"Unfairness" is the cornerstone of this world.
Not to mention personal talents and family origin... Even a person full of desires may not be able to awaken spiritual power; a truly good person may not be able to obtain the power of Holy Order. Everyone is born with different spiritual relatives.
Similarly, the intensity of spiritual affinity syndrome is also different, and even for the same spiritual relative, the positive and negative spiritual parent characteristics are also different.
Even the same person, born on Happy Island and Sogo Island, may have completely different fates. There are also those who are born without codes, who have not committed any crime, but are deprived of all rights that a person can have just because they were born in Xiacheng District.
, even if you are killed by someone, it does not count as "killing".
Not to mention, there are immortal species such as elves and dragons. Immortal species that can live for at least a thousand years...the lifespan is more than fifteen times that of humans. The difference in life span between humans and dogs is even greater.
When he was young, he did mutter a few words dissatisfied with this, but it was just a mutter.
When he gets older...or in other words, when he himself becomes the person at the top of the "scale of unfairness", he won't have so much resentment.
To eradicate "injustice" is basically to overthrow the entire world.
"...Do you want to start a war?"
"I prefer to call it 'change.'"
The godfather spread his hands and showed a gentle smile: "In fact, the huge change sweeping the entire world is already approaching and is coming soon.
"Uptown will be unable to hold on. They must reduce their numbers... They also long for a war. A meaningless war that can drain people's blood and reduce their numbers. And all I have to do is to give this
The inevitable war only adds meaning.
"Do you think the directors will oppose me? No, they will only acquiesce to my existence. On the contrary, it is you people who are short-sighted but not short-sighted enough, smart but not smart enough, who will stop me."
"…What on earth are you talking about?"
"Go ask your daughter, Mr. Emperor. You have been left too far behind by your daughter... You are old."
The godfather crossed his fingers in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Now that you are old, let's retire. Today, the world is still a huge jungle, and the human heart and surface still retain the nature of animals and are fragile.
Those who do will be hunted more ferociously.”
"By a... bird?"
The emperor's eyes turned to the godfather's spiritual characteristics.
Although it is only an emperor penguin, the penguin is obviously more advanced and more ferocious than the songbird.
"Human beings are the most ferocious beasts."
The godfather slowly replied: "I teach them to be human beings, not to make them 'civilized' and put away their claws. But to teach them to be more 'animal' than animals...to learn to use tools and to open up people's wisdom.
"We must learn to use the most despicable techniques and unite to fight against the power of nature. Instead of acting like animals, only escaping and dying.
"I'm not like you heroes who like to play false kindness in front of those humble people.
"They only need to obey me. Anyone who becomes a stumbling block to me will be destroyed by me. And I will give my followers fairness, the peace of mind they pursue, and the ability to fulfill their obsessions. I will give them the freedom to pursue transcendence.
the possibility of one's own destiny.
"——What I give them is hope."
The blue-haired young man answered slowly and word by word: "There is no doubt that I am a hero."
