The 145th generation king faced the giant civil war and chose to leave a mess and retreat to the island. He kept saying that he would launch an earthquake to level the mainland if anyone dared to disturb the peace of the island. However, he also made a 'no war contract', that is,
Use the power of the channel to restrain the power of the ancestors and pass on your idea of not fighting from generation to generation.
Therefore, the kings after the 145th generation were all affected by the 'no-fight contract'. Before inheriting the power, they clearly shouted to expel the giants, but as soon as they inherited the power, they all became cowards and were unwilling to cross the high wall.
, all live guarding the three walls on the island, and say that paradise is inside the walls.
The 145th generation king is very interesting. Facing the giant civil war, he seemed to see that the rule of the Eldians and the royal family was in danger, but he did not use his power to change the status quo he saw, nor to improve it.
Contradictory, but choose to be an ostrich, completely contradictory on the outside and inside at the same time.
Because of his 'no-fight contract', it was impossible for future kings to activate the Earth Cry. So after the kings learned the truth one by one, they all became the guardians of the high wall, suppressing those who explored the secrets of the high wall and the world outside the high wall.
common people.
What Kenny Ackerman did after being ordered to peace was to kill these guys who were too curious. It was called guarding the last twilight paradise.
Kenny felt that he was not wrong because he also felt that this approach was right.
At this time, Kenny was determined to assassinate Duran, but was intercepted by the red meteor. Kenny thought that it would be better to die in battle than to live like this, but before he died, he wanted to reiterate that what he and Uli did was necessary.
See also necessary evil.
I don’t know when the meaning of necessary evil extended to all aspects and became an excuse to defend myself. Before, there was the head of the judge of the military police regiment, and now there is Kenny Ackerman, who is responsible for the suppression of people.
"Kill one person to save the world, not kill one person to benefit the world. Kill oneself to save the world, kill oneself to benefit the world." This passage from Dulan comes from "Mozi Dachou", which can be regarded as clarifying the relationship between the Holy Mother Bitch and the Holy Mother.
The essential difference: "Killing a person to protect the world does not mean that killing this person is good for the world. Killing yourself to protect the world is good for the world. Do you understand? What you call a necessary evil,
It itself is untenable.”
After all, necessary evil does not mean doing bad things at the beginning, nor does it mean that doing bad things is necessary. It means that there are some unreasonable things that cannot be eliminated in a short time, so it is called a necessary evil, but the ultimate goal is to
Cleared. In the beginning, it actually refers to the countries that the West talks about.
In the West, the state is a platform for local interest groups to share spoils and a platform for communication. However, the emergence of the state has restricted local development, and it cannot be without a state platform. Therefore, when Westerners call the state a necessary evil, it is very troublesome but
There must be an organization, and many Western philosophers believe that eventually they can eliminate the state as an institution and achieve complete local autonomy by exerting their subjective initiative.
It can be seen that necessary evil actually exists when conflicts of interest have to be compromised, and it is not at all about killing people to maintain the overall situation.
Duran looked at Kenny and found that Kenny didn't understand. He explained: "What you and Uli did was to kill one person to save the world. Your actions maintain the status quo, but you are not as good as you imagined."
is so great, maintaining the status quo does not mean it is beneficial, nor does it mean that what you maintain is a paradise. Obviously in the eyes of most Eldians, you maintain the status quo to maintain their status as domestic animals. This is not a paradise but a pig.
Circle." Duran said slowly: "What is truly beneficial to the world is to sacrifice oneself to change the world, just like what countless Eldian people are doing now. Sacrificing oneself to change the world is truly beneficial to the development of the world.
.”
Now Kenny understood that Duran was denying all his and Uli's efforts. He clenched his fists, but didn't know how to refute.
Because there is nothing wrong with what Dulan said. Although killing others and killing yourself are both ways of saving the world, the social atmosphere formed in the end is completely different. From the perspective of the world, Uli and Kenny are simply heinous.
Between saving the world and benefiting the world, the former represents the declining bottom line, while the latter represents human pursuits.
"So now you still think my punishment for you is too severe?" Duran finally asked.
Kenny didn't know how to answer, because his heart was very confused. He also had a growth trajectory, from an avenger to a necessary evil, and now he listened to Duran's words and began to reflect, with new ideas and old thoughts constantly
collision.
This is also the reason why Duran didn't kill Kenny, because he was learning and could think for himself.
However, he could convince Kenny, but he could not convince Allen, because Allen was still working hard to modify the timeline, and still wanted to achieve the ending of activating the earthquake that he had seen before.
But this is like a Steins;Gate choice. No matter how she interferes, Mikasa will always walk into the office.
"Why?" Allen didn't understand. It was obvious that the interference went smoothly before. He fought when Mikasa was asked to fight and retreated when asked to retreat. But why couldn't it work this time?
He was obviously saving Mikasa's life, but Eren was going crazy, just like a gamer who was furious because his save file was corrupted.
In the passage on the other side, Ymir's conversation did not go smoothly, and her grandmother ignored her at all. No matter how much Ymir tried her best, this grandmother, who was born as a slave and had worked hard for two thousand years, was just focused on making sand sculptures and ignored the world.
thing.
What is going on? Ymir thought to himself, is my grandma deaf? In fact, even a deaf person or a fool can still communicate in the channel. Because what is here is the soul.
Ymir exited the passage. She was helpless. Could it be that she really couldn't change the status quo, couldn't she become an ordinary person and stay with Historia forever?
"This is expected." The scientist said: "Dulan has long said that the dialogue will not go so smoothly. You don't have to be too disappointed. This is just the beginning."
"But I've tried every method."
"There must be a reason why Duran chose you as the person to talk to. Come on." The scientist couldn't help but could only comfort Ymir.
Duran chose Ymir because of her venomous tongue, and now she has given up her venomous tongue and gone to the heart. Isn't this giving up her own advantage? After Ymir figures it out, she can continue the second conversation.
Ymir is thinking about the way to deal with difficulties learned in the militia corps, which is to collect information and continue to work hard: "Can I look at the information of the ancestor Ymir again?"
"sure."
It is necessary to carefully analyze the psychological state of the ancestor and then attack the opponent's weaknesses. Ymir must use her subjective initiative to live up to her expectations. For her own happiness and for the sake of all Eldians, she must succeed.
So Ymir analyzed it again and found that the ancestor was really a very servile person. The persecution she suffered could be said to be inhumane, but in the end she was still willing to help the royal family and obey orders, without any resistance at all.
Ymir has a very rebellious spirit. Although her usual performance is to be sarcastic to others, this is actually her way of resisting the world. She has no other way. But it is also resistance, even though it looks like a barbarian.
Refined.
He must inspire the rebellious spirit of his ancestors. It seems that Duran chose him because of his poisonous tongue. Ymir finally figured it out.
