Grand Duke Hall picked up his pawn and ate Arthur's last king.
A dead chess among dead chess. Even though Arthur used all his wisdom, and even used the method of playing chess with chess, he still failed to win Hall.
The old man's wisdom is beyond imagination, and he can wield troops like a god. Facing such a talented chess player, a layman like Arthur can only be defeated.
The strongest knight in Pantoraken is also the strongest chess player in Pantoraken. Hall is unfathomable from his strength to his wisdom.
However, Arthur was not too depressed. His performance today was much better than yesterday, and he could feel a little complacent.
However, Hall frowned deeply. Arthur's performance today was much worse than yesterday. He was simply in a mess, and he didn't know what to say!
"What's going on with your game of chess today? Is it worse than this?" Grand Duke Hall asked accusingly.
"Uh, what?!" Arthur, who was still a little complacent at first, was shocked when cold water was poured on his head, "But, I also ate six of your kings------"
"I don't care about that!" Hall said, "In order to reduce my military strength, you are playing chess with one piece against another. You use your army as a consumable, and you use it a little bit."
There is no strategy! Can you play any worse?!"
"Is this bad?" Arthur retorted unconvinced, "I only destroyed four of your legions yesterday, but today I destroyed six!"
"It's not the same as losing chess!" Hall said, "Arthur, have you forgotten the original purpose of coming here to play chess with me? What I want to see is not the improvement of your grades, but your [heart]
ah."
"You don't put your [heart] into your chess moves. You treat the chess pieces as dead objects, push them into dangerous places, and let them die in vain! What if it were a knight of flesh and blood? What if it were a knight next to you?
Where are the knights? Can you still let them die like this? Answer me, Arthur!"
Arthur didn't speak. He looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, imagining that the knight was Bedivere and the other bishop was Tristan...
He had this idea when he first played chess, so he overprotected his chess pieces. This time he clearly put aside this idea and treated the chess pieces as simple chess pieces, but he was trained by Hall again.
.
"What do you want from me?" Arthur said gloomily, "Women can't be kind, and they can't be ruthless, so how else can I go?"
"Never abandon any of your subordinates." Grand Duke Hall said, "But in order to save more subordinates, some subordinates must be given up."
This is, completely, a self-contradictory statement.
However, it deeply touched Arthur's heart.
"Killing one person to save a hundred people. Is that right?" Arthur said, "We are not gods. We cannot measure whether the lives of one hundred people are more valuable or the life of that one person."
"You have to weigh it and make a choice," Hall said. "No matter what the choice is, you have to bear the consequences of the choice you make."
That's the price you pay for standing on the shoulders of others as a commander.
Since their life and death are in your hands, the sins of their deaths will be borne by you. Do you have the consciousness to bear the deaths of thousands of people, Arthur?
That is the most basic condition for becoming a king!"
"Enough!!!!!!" Arthur yelled, interrupting Hall's questioning.
"I won't be a king, and I don't intend to take on such a heavy responsibility." Arthur said, "So, don't push your imperial theory on me!"
"Then," Grand Duke Hall stared at Arthur, "What is your real wish?"
"What makes you want to become stronger at all costs?!"
Facing Hall's question, Arthur sighed.
------Power is not what I want.
------Wealth is not what I want.
------There is only one thing I hope for from beginning to end.
"I just want to get back what I lost."
"What is that thing? Tell me!" Hall kept insisting. He planned to ask Arthur's true thoughts (purpose) clearly and clearly at this moment.
He vowed to understand everything about the young man in front of him.
In order to understand whether this young man is qualified to become a king!
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I have lost everything. Home, family, emotions--everything. I...I want to imagine
Like before, I knew what laughter was and what love was.
In order to get all this back, I must become stronger, stronger than anyone else, so strong... that I can challenge God!"
"Challenging God?! Could it be ------"
What did Hall think of at this moment? His eyes widened, full of surprise and confusion, "Do you want to challenge [Kama's Seat]?!"
"Yes." Arthur said.
Although it is just a legend.
[Throne of Karma]------
------That is, a person has only one opportunity in his life to challenge God.
Those who die will face God's judgment. If they accept their fate and die happily, [Judgment] will not come, and the human spirit will return to the great cycle and become part of [Kama's Reincarnation] again.
Only those who refuse to accept their fate will stand in front of Kama's throne and initiate a final showdown with God.
And only truly powerful people can defeat God and change their own destiny!
There are many ways to change your destiny. Generally speaking, it is to [avoid your own death].
However, in a practical sense, the Seat of Kama is considered a universal wish-making machine. If you are strong enough to defeat God, you can change the entire world with your heart's desire!
------There is only one way to reverse fate: defeat God.
However, since he is a god, he is absolutely powerful. Legends are legends after all, and no one has ever successfully challenged Kama's Seat.
That is an unprecedented and unprecedented challenge, and it is absolutely impossible. Otherwise, there would have been "eternal beings" or "resurrection from the dead" in this world. No one can defeat God. This should be the common sense of the world.
It is the law of all things.
Human beings are just small cogs in the huge destiny machine of the world. Have you ever heard that one cog can replace an entire machine?
Arthur, who believes in such legends, is nothing but a lunatic.
However, the young man who spoke in an extremely serious tone in front of Hall was a man who had the courage to challenge God and the entire world------
------Brave madman.
Hall did not make fun of Arthur. He smiled knowingly. When Arthur thought he was being teased and looked embarrassed, Hall revealed a fact: "I arrived at [Kama's Landing] fifty years ago."
seat]."
"What, what?!" Arthur was dumbfounded in surprise.
"I was going to die at that time. That was my [destiny]." Hall said calmly, obviously he was telling the truth. "However, that thing allowed me to live for fifty more years...
...Even, I don’t know how many more years I can live------"
"You defeated God, didn't you?!" Arthur asked hurriedly.
"...God knows!" Hall said with a bitter smile, "I just know that the so-called god you talk about is really a guy who loves to make fun of people!
He does not have the mercy that a god should have, but has a vicious heart like a devil! Because---------------
----------My wish is obviously to bring my wife and children back to life!" The old man shed tears.
"That so-called god didn't listen to my wish at all, and instead made me come back to life. It's like a walking zombie, and I have lived for so many years!"
Arthur gasped.
"Have you ever defeated God-----"
"No one knows, Arthur. No one knows." Hall said, "Since he is God, he is everything in the universe and all the laws in the world. He really doesn't want you to win. I guess you will never be able to win."
of!"
"My only explanation is that the god let me go. He changed my destiny and allowed me to continue living. Living for a certain purpose."
"------I guess his purpose is to ask me to continue to protect Pantoraken."
Arthur looked at Hall who was in tears and didn't speak. He couldn't even refute.
"No one can change destiny. Arthur, you can't either." Hall said, "The only one who creates and changes destiny is God."
However, it was that kind of god who laughed at Arthur's powerlessness from the seat of Kama. He took away everything from Arthur.
It is that kind of god who weaves all kinds of cruel fates and plays tricks on the world.
If there really is such a God, then I can't help but hate him.
The anger burning quietly in Arthur's heart rose to an unprecedented height.
He knows that one day, he will find this [god] out and beat him up!
