"Humanity needs angels because they are encountering demons."
Malthael said in an aria tone.
"Humans don't need angels, because you are no different from demons!"
Kahn shouted in a firm tone!
"This is the biggest difference between us. After possessing the Nephalem, humans are indeed not helpless when facing demons.
But without a higher heaven, you will always be unable to do anything. "
Malthael's admonishing and sighing tone made Kahn stunned for a moment.
"I know that you will never shy away from sacrifice. As long as you think it is valuable, there will always be noble people among human beings.
But without the presence of angels, the sacrifices you need to make are worthless in my eyes. "
Malthael spoke again, he still wanted to convince Kahn.
"When you keep emphasizing value, I begin to doubt your purpose, Malthael!"
Gruchak said with narrowed eyes.
He didn't mean to press the question, but everyone present could understand the distrust.
"I know it's not a good thing to measure life by value, but do you still have a choice now?"
Malthael wanted to laugh.
In his eyes, humans actually don't have much choice.
Bulcaisuo is very strong, Li Min is also very strong, and Yin Na, Gruchak, and Nazebo are all strong without a doubt!
But how many humans are there?
Compared with endless demons, strong humans will always have to face more enemies.
What a legendary demon represents is often not that one demon is a legendary being.
But it means that there is a group of people behind each of them!
When the previous legendary demon comes to an end, a new legendary demon is being conceived.
Replacing everything that had passed away, it reappeared with all the familiar postures of the Nephalem.
This is the most terrifying place for demons!
It's not that legendary demons cannot be killed, but that they are constantly cycling through death and rebirth!
Among the legendary demons, Kuang Tu Pudge is the only exception. The new legendary butcher is still Kuang Tu, but he is no longer Pudge.
The unique power that Pudge possesses will not be possessed by the new Kuang Tu.
This is of course a weakening, but among countless deaths and rebirths, no one can guarantee whether a Pudge will be born again among the demons.
Just as there are always immortal kings among barbarians, demons are also qualified to grow.
"Only when we can make a choice at any time, whether it is to escape or fight, only when we ourselves can make a choice, our souls are free!"
Gruchak said.
He didn't give in at all when facing Malthael.
But this has nothing to do with his power, it's just that he chose not to give in.
"I know that being able to make choices is free, but bearing the consequences does not necessarily make you happy."
Malthael smiled.
He didn't hate Gruchak's words, and he had no simple hostility towards any Nephalem.
Malthael just hates everything about demons, perhaps because he had enough of being a wise demon in the last cycle.
"The choice to violate the law is free will, but he has to bear the consequences himself. Is that what you mean?"
Talik put away his heavy sword.
After Kahn gave up attacking, he no longer needed to tightly restrict Kahn.
"So who dictates the rules?"
Malthael suddenly asked.
"It is our collective morality, a naturally formed norm, and everyone's pursuit of beauty!"
Korik said without hesitation.
As the one with the greatest respect for life among the three ancestors, he has long thought about these issues.
Respect life, respect the choice of independent and free life, and then give those who make the choice the consequences they deserve.
This seemingly indifferent but fair enough behavior is the best interpretation of Kolik's respect for life.
He never stands behind any one person, he always respects every independent individual equally.
"So have you ever considered why no one has ever heard of authorities like 'law,' order, and 'standards'?"
Malthael said with a smile.
"Because no individual can represent the group unless he is the only one."
Gruchak sighed.
"There is only one being who can have such authority, and that is the God of Creation."
Malthael gave the answer to his question.
Only the Creator God can represent the authority he speaks of, and no other being can possibly master such things.
Because only the Creator God is the only one!
"So you plan to gain recognition from humans and then become the creator god who establishes rules?"
Gruchak asked with a sneer.
"I thought about it this way, but I have proven that this road is not easy."
Malthael spread his hands and said to Gruchak in a "you understand" gesture.
Gruchak could only acquiesce, because it was the truth.
During the period after Malthael absorbed the power of the Great Demon God, he almost completed his great ambition.
But unfortunately, he still failed.
"Throughout eternity, we and they, we have tried to be the only one who will. But I am the one who has come closest to succeeding."
Malthael's words were a bit vague.
But Gruchak just understands this kind of thing.
It's like the first generation ancestors tried to use weapons and equipment to carry authority, and then drove it with their own will.
Or maybe it's what Bulkesso is doing at this time, integrating authority into his body after reaching a certain state of balance.
These practices are all attempts to be the only one and thus become the standard setter.
“You know, it’s impossible to convince me of this lofty long-cherished wish, let alone everyone.
When you want the whole world to be the only one with your own voice, the best way is to make the whole world only with your own voice! "
Gruchak stared at Malthael while he spoke.
Gruchak did not intend to think about whether Malthael was right.
But one thing he knows is that this approach is absolutely unacceptable to him, so as long as Malthael does not give up this goal, he will definitely stand on the opposite side of all other free wills!
"Perhaps the biggest reason why you didn't succeed last time was that you couldn't attack your brothers firmly."
Kolik said.
“Groups shape the world, that’s my idea, and I think that’s true after years of research and study.”
Malthael said in a somewhat strange way.
"I'm not interested in listening to your debates about ideas or anything like that. I just want to know how angels plan to help humans.
Or Malthael, how are you going to help me? "
Leoric still had a violent aura, but this was the result of his best efforts to maintain his emotional stability.
Even Malthael couldn't ask a madman to stay normal for a long time.
"Help you? I can take away the angelic part from Aidan, or Aidan can fuse the demonic part with my help.
The most likely outcome is that you will get the Aidan you hoped for. "
Malthael took out his own chips. It was unlikely that he would exchange this for Leoric's investment, but it would be more than enough to exchange for Leoric's wait and see.
"That sounds like a good result, but I couldn't bet on Aidan."
Leoric shook his head, he wanted Malthael to use more chips.
"You want my guarantee? So what can you offer? Leoric, what the Skeleton King has is not attractive to us at all.
Your birth was an accident, an accident caused by personal will that gave way to both death and life. "
Malthael sighed.
"Now, how do you help humanity!?"
Gruchak intervened forcefully in this conversation.
Gruchak doesn't care about Leoric's demands, he only cares about something bigger.
"I can make humans who need to be smart smarter, or make it easier for them to reach the inspiration they need."
Malthael said with a smile.
Gruchak is a big boss, but that doesn't mean that Gruchak can't understand how much this kind of help can change the current situation of mankind!
"You can obviously turn demons into idiots."
Gruchak said.
"You wish I had this kind of power? Obviously no one would wish for the intelligence of a being who can manipulate everyone."
Malthael glanced at Gruchak with deep meaning.
Among the archangels, because Prius can take away all the courage of an individual, Israel can become a bargaining chip to affect the balance of the scale.
Auriel can make the light of hope far and near, while Tyrell uses himself to interpret his justice.
But only Malthael has never properly demonstrated the power of wisdom.
Of course he can influence wisdom, but he does not do so.
Even when he was executing his plan to completely eliminate all traces of demons, he never did this. He simply relied on his own strength.
"I admit that you are noble, Malthael, but your nobleness is limited."
Tarik sighed.
"Maybe it's just that I'm smarter."
Malthael responded with a smile.
"The power of the earth gathers around me, but it doesn't mean that I need to keep all existences except myself away from the earth? Do you mean something similar?"
Gruchak's eyes became deeper.
"In the beginning, all life received the same thing about wisdom. I gave all life the same seed."
Malthael said.
"You archangels really have some ideas."
Korik said mockingly.
"Auriel hangs all hopes high in the sky, and all lives can be fought for and explored.
Because Prius gives courage to all beings without distinction, but it also gives them the power to give up their courage.
Israel keeps trying the boundaries of balance, but now he can't figure out what balance is.
As for Tyrael, he wants to become Libra? "
Korik continued to speak in a mocking tone.
"We all have our own considerations, and we are also a group."
Malthael spoke gently every word, as if he was emphasizing important knowledge points while preaching.
"I think you may be more mature as a scholar than as a warrior."
Gruchak completely curbed his hostility.
Everything he knew about Malthael became worthless after actually talking to Malthael today.
Malthael is both noble and cruel.
“Human wisdom is interesting and I can learn a lot of valuable things from it.
Wisdom should never be born from a completely lonely and closed brain. What is born in that environment can only be called conjecture.
Just like what humans here call 'objectivism', that kind of thought is almost entirely subjective and cannot withstand any verification. ”①
Malthael became a little more cheerful as if he was talking about it.
"Back to the point, if we just make humans more creative, then who will ensure the safety of humans during this period?"
Gruchak asked.
He is not sensitive to things like thoughts. Although he has a rough sense of right and wrong, all he can describe is "I think it's okay" and "I think it's wrong."
"So humans need angels. Nephalem are indeed powerful, but your numbers cannot protect all humans."
Malthael said just now.
This time Gruchak did not refute. He did not like Malsayer, but that did not mean that Gruchak would oppose everything Malsayer said.
"Who will supervise the angels? Once you intervene in the human world, it will be extremely difficult to remove your influence from humans."
Talik said while looking at the token of shame in his hand.
He didn't want to look at Malthael because he was a little afraid of Malthael's calm and deep eyes!
This is different from fighting. If it is a fight, Tarik has no respect for Malthael!
The worst outcome is that death comes again.
But looking at Malthael in a calm state gave him a feeling of self-examination.
Talik doesn't like to look at himself because doing so always makes him feel like a "stupid".
"Humanity himself."
Malthael gave an answer that no one present had expected.
They thought the answer was the Nephalem, Leoric, or even the angel himself.
But I didn't expect the answer to be "human beings themselves".
"How do humans say 'no' to your power?"
Korik asked.
"When our giving becomes normal, we will no longer be noble in the eyes of mankind. At that time, our giving will become a matter of course."
Malthael smiled.
"But that is a human choice. There will always be those who are willing to shed blood among the insensitive group. They will cry out."
When Malthael said this, he put away his relaxed smile and became particularly solemn.
"I've never seen you so patient when dealing with humans."
There was no trace of madness in Leoric's tone.
"Because there is no blood of demons flowing among the humans in this world."
Malthael smiled self-deprecatingly.
No one present except Gruchak knew what he meant.
Gruchak could only sigh.
"Real free will? That's not a ridiculous joke, that's the will of the group."
Gruchak suddenly said something that made Malthael look at him with admiration.
