"At that time, the earth had not been destroyed by war, and people of various races would not fight if they met. The world's space, food and other materials were abundant enough for creatures of different races to live together in the same land. Under the sky..."
It was a beautiful world like that described in a fairy tale. Rick was talking about things that he had never seen before and could not confirm, but he was teaching Wu Ke about these things.
Some of these things are passed down orally among humans and cannot be verified today, while others are clues found from the information left behind by some races during the process of outward exploration.
And why such a peaceful world has become what it is now, it all depends on the gods above.
As a weak human being, Rick didn't know the specifics, but he knew that the gods and the races they created were competing for a conceptual treasure called the Star Cup.
The gods want to decide among themselves who is the only god in this world and who has the right to rule the entire world...
"So, the war happened, and it lasted for countless years, until now, it has turned into the world you can see!"
Light blue and black ash slowly fell from the sky. Looking south from this safe base, the end of the field of vision was a mountain peak with most of the mountain disappearing.
"It was just like that two years ago when a passing dragon elf launched a dragon roar attack while destroying the goblin sky battleship."
Rick explained.
That battle happened to be witnessed by him at the time.
"This is what I know about the situation in this world. As for other things, I don't know. We humans are not qualified to intervene in the war between the gods and the powerful races they created.
In fact, even our own racial name is self-proclaimed and has never been recognized by the gods or other races. We are like weeds, no, perhaps more like dust, and may be destroyed by a powerful force at any time. The aftermath of the battle between the races spread and was wiped out...
Therefore, it is natural to live in this world like a frightened bird. "
Because human beings live such a life, full of desperate days where they may be killed at any time.
Even if the settlement where Rick is located has been somewhat inspired by his presence and has some vague confidence in the future, it will not be much different from other possible human settlements, especially in the face of time of death.
Rick told the truth about his despair for mankind, and what Wu Ke heard was the powerful enemy he might face this time.
Every time he travels through the Gate of Justice, he always has to face some powerful enemies, not counting the world of DC that is full of arranged fates.
In the first world, the person he saved was Sakura, but in the end he faced Angora Mainyu, the [evil in this world] who stayed in the Holy Grail and was ready to resurrect at any time.
In the second world, he saved Yelena, who was about to be executed for the ore disease infection, but what he faced was the prejudice and malice against the infected in that world, including a local from Ursus. god.
As for the third time traveling through the Gate of Justice, my dear, although we encountered the existence of those world gods or earth gods in the first two times, there was still a gradual process.
But this time, without talking about the gradual process, without concealing anything or beating around the bush, I just told him directly that the guys who stand against the Messenger of Justice are the gods of this world.
Perhaps the DC experience gave him some confidence, but Wu Ke didn't feel heavy at all.
On the contrary, his heart is now filled with the urge to destroy the gods in this world.
Fortunately, the existence of reason prevented him from leaving.
After thinking about it, Wu Ke raised his hand and headed towards the half mountain peak in the distance.
Rick didn't know what he was going to do, but people living in this world had a premonition of danger that had not yet degenerated, so he took a step back.
Then, I saw a beam of energy ejected from the hand of the person in front of me.
With a rumble, the mountain peak in the distance lost a supporting piece and began to collapse...
Although all the power he gained in the DC world was returned, the feeling of his attack methods still remained in his consciousness.
Using his own body's energy to try his best to simulate the kind of attack that releases huge energy, Wu Ke succeeded, successfully destroying half of the mountains in the distance, but the consumption seemed a bit huge. He was breathing heavily, so he asked Xiang Li K: "How do you think my attack compares to the dragon elf attack you mentioned?"
"You can't tell, but from a sensory perspective, it should be similar."
Rick took a few steps back and replied.
"How does the dragon spirit race compare to the gods of this world?"
Wu Ke asked again.
Rick shook his head again.
"Dragon spirits are very strong, but gods should be the most powerful beings in the world."
He said.
"Um……"
Wu Ke pondered for a while and said.
"I am barely a god. I want to help you live a stable life. This should be what I came to this world to do. What do you think about this?"
Rick: "..."
What else could he think? He just felt that the guy in front of him might have something wrong with his brain.
After all, no guy in his right mind would consider himself a 'god'.
Even for humans, he is indeed a very powerful being.
. . . .
"I don't have any opinion."
"No, you do. For example, you have to think about how I can help you live a stable life now!"
Hearing this, Rick suddenly panicked, and he looked at the other party nervously.
[How do you know this? Does he have the power to read minds...
The things I think he has problems with have also been read by him...]
Wu Ke didn't know Rick's nervousness and continued on his own: "I should solve the problems of this world from the root, such as getting rid of all the gods in this world.
But from what you said, I’m not sure if I can defeat the gods of your world, so I plan to start with small things.
I decided to first help the humans in your world to improve their frightened lives, and then to understand more specific situations, and then to solve the problems here..."
"So, what do you mean?"
Rick had a bad feeling.
“Before killing the gods, I decided to stay with the target I needed to protect.
Yes, that's what you think, I plan to join your settlement.
During this period, you can do whatever you want with me as long as it is a matter of justice.
For example, things that require people to sacrifice..."
Rick took a deep breath.
"Don't refuse in a hurry, give it a try. Anyway, if I want to follow you and look for your traces, it will not be difficult for me. I can clearly hear sounds within ten kilometers. As long as I I am willing to focus this energy..."
Wu Ke directly and clearly explained to Rick some of his exaggerated perceptions.
Rick closed his mouth and showed a wry smile as if he had chewed ten bitter melons.
"Facing the strong, we humans really don't even have the ability to resist or the qualification to refuse~"
"Don't be depressed. Strength cannot prove right or wrong, and I am on your side."
During his days as a messenger of justice, Wu Ke had already discovered something.
Justice must be strong, and only strong justice will be meaningful.
For example, in a world where weakness is wrong, he can stand on the side of the weak.
Let the balance of right and wrong tip in the right direction, even if it is just a little weight.
"I know you may not believe me, but you can think of it this way. Those powerful races can kill you weak ones without considering your thoughts and wishes. Just like the sentence "Destroying you has nothing to do with you" talk.
Similarly, I, the messenger of justice, am actually a pretty bad existence. I want to save you, and it has nothing to do with you. Whether you and your people believe in me or not, I will do it, but if you choose to accept my words , then I will give some consideration to your wishes and ideas.
However, the choice here depends on you. I can see that they all believe in you and almost leave everything to you, the leader of the settlement..."
Does Rick have a choice?
No, he did not.
Although Rick did not want to expose the location of his settlement, facing an enthusiastic messenger of justice who directly stated that he would track and search for the location of the settlement, he decided to respect such an existence and not take his distrust too seriously. By placing it directly on the surface...
"Welcome... you to join us."
Since I can't resist, I can only close my eyes and wait with some fear for the next step, which may be rough entry or gentle treatment...
. . . .
After the exchange ended without any casualties, Rick took the dead and resurrected Ivan and an uninvited guest back to his settlement cave.
The worst thing didn't happen. The other party just looked around, seemingly curious about the cave space where humans now live, and had no plans to explode.
However, this is also true. A being with the power to destroy half of a mountain can communicate kindly with a weak human being like him. It is impossible to show such kindness just to eliminate human beings. He wants to kill Dead humans don't need to go to such trouble at all.
As for whether the other party has any other bad intentions, it is useless to think about these things. At the moment when the other party is brought to the settlement, the settlement is already like a naked lamb lying on the bed, waiting for the other party. Playing wantonly...
. . . .
"dad!"
Nonna's voice of surprise rang out, and her entire small body flew into Iwang's arms after everyone came in.
Yiwang caught his daughter, picked her up with one hand, and rubbed the girl's face affectionately, which made the girl burst into laughter like silver bells.
Reunion of loved ones...
But nothing is more gratifying than this scene.
Everyone who saw it showed an expression of being healed.
However, Rick's cure did not last long and was interrupted by Nonna's angry accusation.
"Dad, Dad, listen to me, Rick is a super liar. He lied to me that you were dead..."
For a child as young as Nonna, even if her mental age matures faster due to external circumstances, she is still worried about Rick who deceived herself and said that her father was dead.
The pain of losing her father that she deeply experienced, the tears she shed, and the true grief she felt are not easily forgotten by a girl...
And before forgetting, it is conceivable that Rick will appear as a big liar in her mind.
Ivan touched his daughter's head and was silent for a while before telling the truth to the girl: "Nonna, Rick is not a liar. Based on the situation at that time, dad should have died. However, dad is Before he was about to die, he was saved by a powerful person..."
Yiwang pointed to Wu Ke next to him and introduced to his daughter: "Look, this is the person who saved dad..."
"Eh?"
Nonna looked over and saw a kind smiling face, Wu Ke waving to the little girl.
"This... big brother is like the savior of mankind described in story books. He saved dad's life in a critical moment..."
Yiwang paused for a while before calling her, and then he didn't hesitate to praise him and said the following words to his daughter.
Nonna's eyes suddenly brightened when she looked at Wu Ke.
After being put down by her father, the girl pestered Wu Ke, ran in front of Wu Ke, and started asking questions.
Rick glanced at Ivan and nodded.
After bringing people to the settlement, some things were already determined.
If the other party wants to harm them, then as humans, they will have no chance of resisting.
Instead of worrying about things that don't exist, it's better to think about things in a good direction from the beginning and guide them in a good direction.
Even if the other person is actually a bad guy with bad intentions, under the eyes of the admirer, there should be some mercy.
Yes, human beings in this world can be so humble. In order to continue to survive, they may use any despicable means, even if they let underage children go into battle and use cute means.
This move had an outstanding effect on Wu Ke. Soon, he was surrounded by children from the human settlement in the cave. The children were very interested in the savior in the storybook who saved Uncle Ywang. .
Looking at this scene, Rick was thinking in his heart: If the other party can even tolerate noisy human children, then what's the harm in giving them all of humanity to try to trust this somewhat outrageous stranger?
After all, they humans have no life-saving straw to grasp at...
