"So, it seems you are really confused." Although I was still wary, I still learned something different from this sentence.
She trusts me, to a certain extent.
This is a seemingly absurd answer, but it is the only answer that can explain the situation I am encountering now.
Therefore, I pretended to be calm and calm on the surface.
However, it is a pity that in a place like this, my experience as a wild warrior is of no use at all - rather, it is even an experience that drags me down.
"You don't know the answer either, do you?" Rebes smiled slightly, as if she had already pierced the skin of my paper tiger.
I simply gave up pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. The so-called defensive posture I made had no practical effect, so I changed to a slightly more casual posture and said: "Because you are just experimenting..." But the experiment was long."
Rebeth seemed to be amused by me. She looked at me strangely and said, "You also know that I am an immortal. What I lack is never something that means nothing to us, like time."
Probably sensing something strange here, the frequency of attacks around me gradually began to slow down. Until now, only sporadic magic attacks hit this place crookedly. For a moment, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, which made me uncomfortable.
"You have made a mistake. The so-called universal values of the world have nothing to do with me." Rebes's expression seemed a little disappointed, "There is a saying that -' Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you? What's more, I am the only pioneer on the road to immortality, and everyone after me is far behind. In this slightly more extreme era, There is not even a single person who has awakened or realized the current state of the undead."
This sentence may not sound problematic at first, but the moment she regarded herself as a so-called pioneer, I realized the fundamental difference. ,
"You call yourself a pioneer, but have you ever thought about the feelings of those you brought in?"
There was no expression on Rebeth's face, but she said in a rather relaxed tone: "If that's what you're talking about, I don't think it's a big problem - there will always be some sacrifices before reaching the ultimate goal."
My face turned slightly cold and I said, "This kind of sacrifice is a bit too great. To exchange the long-term sacrifices of countless people for the success of some people, doesn't it seem too authoritarian?"
Rebeth, very disappointed.
It can almost be called eloquent.
"I didn't come to you to hear this." Rebes sighed and raised her hand slightly. The gray-white mist swam around it as if it were alive.
However, that smell is all too familiar to me.
Immediate death...law?
No, there seems to be some difference.
Wait, this is obviously not a good sign. Now the final boss has begun to release some scary-looking things! ! !
My eyes widened, I stretched out my hand and shouted, "Wait a minute! What do you want to do!!"
"Ah, this matter is easy to understand." Rebes still patiently explained to me, "To put it in a better way, it would be... to destroy it all, but The undead are immortal, so really what I’m doing is more like manually resetting the experiments I’m doing.”
So what I said just now was completely in the wrong place!
Wait a minute—let’s put it this way! !
"Hey, this is a hard-won experimental situation." I bit the root slightly and looked at Rebeth excitedly, "Since this is a long-term step in your experiment, have you ever thought of continuing to see the experiment? What’s next?”
Rebes paused slightly, then frowned slightly and said, "It's not that I haven't had this thought before, but in the end it proved to be a waste of time -"
"But what you lack is time, isn't it?"
Rebes curled her lips and said, "There is still room, but I can't find a more suitable experimental field."
"In this case, you have probably seen the results of the past, right?" The corners of my mouth raised slightly. Although it was inappropriate to laugh out loud now, I still couldn't help it.
"I'm very patient..." Rebes repeated this sentence again.
I said to her, "Have you ever thought about what if this was wrong from the beginning?"
The world seemed to have quieted down, and the sounds, friction, and disintegration caused by the surrounding magic attacks all disappeared.
At that moment, I had a weird illusion—Rebes and I were the only two people left in this world.
The world was pressuring me.
The world, already under her control, was pressing down on me.
I'm pretty sure I touched on something that I didn't know was her soft spot.
This kind of pressure is forcing me not to speak, but I know that this is the time to pursue the victory.
"The route is wrong. No matter how powerful you are, you will never go to the right place." I said softly.
The next moment, the violent pressure rushed towards me like crazy. I felt like I was standing at the bottom of a divided ocean, watching the towering water wall slap down on me mercilessly.
All it took was a thought from her to be shattered into pieces.
However, the sound of an ethereal bell pulled me out of this illusion. The magnificent power and breath came at this moment, conflicting with the tsunami attack as if the world was collapsing, and ripples visible to the naked eye broke out.
The shield is excited and twisted under the action of ripples, and then quickly annihilates into the most basic element. The overflowing magic power even forms a substantial light belt around it, which is weird and absurd.
The junction of those two forces is Kellas.
Kellas's eyes have now turned completely blood red, and her gray-white tail and ears are also revealed at this time. They are swinging with violent power. Her hands stretch forward, with some kind of black and red eyes. The power turned into irregular tear bands to fight against the crushing force.
Rebes seemed quite surprised. She frowned and looked at Kellas. After looking at her for a long time, she said, "Who are you?"
The confrontation stopped.
Kelras bared his teeth in demonstration at Rebeth, then made a face and said, "Why should I tell you?"
It seems that Kyle Russ is also a little afraid of Rebeth...
"Dog ears - are you an orc?" Rebes tilted her head, as if she was distracted, "The orc side, uh."
"Although I admit that I am a dog, it is wrong to call me an orc under this situation and appearance!!" Kellas stretched out her mouth and was about to bite it, but it was obvious that Rebeth did not give her this chance at all.
No, it seems that I am overthinking it, and Kellas is not afraid of anything no matter what the situation is.
It was hard to tell from Rebeth's expression whether she was laughing, holding back laughter, or suppressing laughter. In short, the coldness of the high hall seemed to have disappeared for a short period of time.
"This scene is a bit nostalgic." Rebes smiled softly. "In your words, it is a sense of déjà vu. However, it is also something that has not appeared in my life."
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be nice if I could speak more clearly."
The next moment, the fierce aura around Rebes was revealed. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at me, as if she wanted to hide something in her pupils.
"Do you really want that answer?"
While restraining himself from shouting "The Riddler, get out of Gotham City", he said cautiously: "Your words themselves are also telling a riddle."
Rebes snorted coldly, her eyes seemed a little blurred.
"If I knew the answer, there would be no need to explore all this." She looked at me, but her eyes seemed to be completely unfocused, just in a daze, "I am also looking for the answer - and it's only me now. You can find the answer, you just don’t understand it.”
Rebeth sighed and said, "You didn't convince me, but I decided to give you some face."
She looked at Kellas, curled her lips and said, "It's mainly for her. Her power confuses me. It's never been my choice to attack a power I don't understand."
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but I still have to be careful before the matter is completely concluded.
"Okay, I have decided to give up the destruction of this place now." A strange smile suddenly flashed across Rebeth's face. It was that smile that made me hesitate slightly, but the purpose of her actions at the next moment was Eventually it showed up.
"What are you going to do if I give up here?"
"I don't plan to destroy everything here, but you don't plan to let me take over all this. There is a limit to commitment, and I'm too lazy to clean up the mess." Rebes looked at me with a half-smile, " Everything here, the 1,096 undead, the 634 heinous criminals imprisoned underground, and the 85,893 people who followed me from eternity, are all here."
My face gradually turned pale.
She tilted her head and looked at me with interest: "There are 87,623 people in total. I remember clearly that there are about 2,354 undead outside who are still in the incubation period. They were originally the materials for my next experiment, but Since you plan to do something, I’ll just leave it to you.”
Rebeth took a step closer and looked at me with sharp eyes.
What are you going to do?
She didn't make a sound, but the pressure on her momentum already told me her problem.
"It's not that easy to be a saint."
Kelras gritted her teeth and seemed to be planning to find a place for Rebeth to take a bite.
Among them are——
[Noble (former)], [Scientist (former)], [Worker (former)], [Adventurer (former)], [Speculator (former)], [Desperado], [Ruffian] Scoundrel].
Most importantly, these people are - immortal.
The number is huge, even exceeding the population of a small town and reaching a small city in another world. These people have been separated from society for a long time, and most of them already have descendants. It is really unknown what kind of turmoil this large-scale unveiling of the ancestors will cause.
And they are immortal.
So the best solution is to let them return to normal life in this place.
Let them truly die.
"You really can't make them lose their immortal status, right?"
After realizing this, I became much more courageous.
Rebes' fierce momentum faltered slightly.
Seeing that it seemed to have some effect, I said slowly: "In other words, this is not some kind of life-extending magic or a curse, but comes from your talent."
"...These are correct."
Rebeth was a little confused.
"So my idea is very simple, just let them become what they are." I looked at Kyle Russ, and Kyle Russ nodded affirmatively.
Rebeth asked hesitantly: "You...can do it?"
I nodded.
Rebeth stood there, while Kellas still bared her teeth, but seemed a little stiff.
"...This is not in line with my philosophy." Rebes seemed a little confused, "You are taking other people's lives."
"They were not supposed to be alive."
"But they're alive now."
I sighed and said: "That's because of you, and you didn't save everyone. You were just like a willful princess, walking wherever you wanted and giving them a little favor to whoever you saw. It seemed like It is compassionate, but in fact you are only satisfying yourself, not to mention that you turned them into immortals, and in the end, death is not as good as living."
Rebeth raised her head and asked with a little doubt: "But... as long as you are alive, there is a possibility, right?"
I was speechless for a moment.
She said slowly and hesitantly: "So, you see what's wrong with living? If everyone doesn't die, wouldn't everyone be happy in the face of disaster?"
"In that case, what's the difference between it and a thinking stone?" I looked at her and stepped hard on the ground under my feet.
The foundation stone of this land comes from 86,527 buried undead, which is used to maintain this increasingly stronger realm.
"If we no longer die, human beings will lose the courage to face disasters and explore. This courage is the driving force that supports human beings to wander in the dark ages." I sneered, "Look at your current undead society. , because of the loss of death, people's emotions are gradually becoming numb, and they have lost their new life, so people's hope is gradually losing. If all living things really stop dying as you said, then our civilization will also Ruined."
Rebeth raised her head and looked at me quietly: "Then...I can't accept it, and I can't agree with it, but you will hinder me."
"In the face of disaster, survival is the only hope."
"That doesn't mean immortality." I stared into her eyes. The fierce momentum just now seemed to have no effect on me at all, and an unspeakable silence had spread.
