Sometimes, the seeds of resistance are humble at first.
Perhaps, it was just one person, a young man who always treated everyone with a warm smile on the construction site. Or perhaps, it was a third prince who was originally inconspicuous, but had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in beheading operations.
It's also possible that it was a hunter who originally liked to throw fruit cores on trees, but later picked up a devil's contract. Or a man who has been in politics for generations, but decided to become a Templar.
The reason why a seed is a seed is because it is a tiny life that is difficult to detect before it grows. He may be fragile, but his vitality is always amazingly tenacious.
And now, a seed has sprouted.
"Anya, you should be listening."
Zhou Li held Eluma's hand tightly, his expression was calm, and his voice had no fluctuations, "You should have been listening, right?"
He didn't look at anyone, and he never doubted whether there was Anya's doll here. Zhou Li just closed his eyes, as if talking to a non-existent person, and said, "You have one last chance now."
"Light that seed, it shouldn't exist."
"You don't understand."
At this time, a soft girl's voice sounded, and it was obvious that everyone heard this sentence. Don Quixote and the legionnaires' muscles tightened instantly, and their fierce murderous intent locked onto all possible events around them.
"She's not here."
Zhou Li looked at Don Quixote and seemed to be talking to her, or perhaps to Anya: "Her ability is emotions, not manipulation, but resonance. She can resonate with anyone's emotions and then occupy them. Mind, it’s that simple.”
【You can still see it】
"Looking at" Zhou Li's closed heart, a look of regret appeared on Lin Ling's face involuntarily. Randomly, Anya's voice sounded again, "I didn't expect that the barbarian from the North could convey my love in one sentence." Ability, I underestimated him]
"He gave enough hints."
Zhou Li ignored the gazes around him and said calmly: "Barbarians do not mean barbarism, you should understand."
[So, the Pope will not believe in the church, right? 】
"Is this your reason?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest: "You want to destroy this tower, cause an explosion, blow up half of the Tariq and trigger a global war, just because you don't trust the church?"
[Although you have closed your heart to me, I am not unable to think without my emotions]
Ah Zi sighed, and Anya continued: [You have discovered my intention a long time ago, haven't you? 】
"You'd better say it."
Zhou Li smiled and said, "I prefer to listen to other people's explanations."
[You think I want to blow up the Elnoa Energy Crystal Tower and destroy half of Tariq through a proper explosion. Then, I will eliminate those who want to rebuild Tariq, use the remains of this country to lure other countries, start a war to divide Tariq, and then cultivate the god of war, right? 】
After hearing Anya's voice, everyone present had a look of astonishment on their faces. They all understand that this is a watertight plan, and every key step of the plan can achieve the ultimate goal.
If Anya really wants to follow this plan, then a war sweeping the entire world is absolutely inevitable, and that crazy God of War will be the most terrifying monster.
But the question is, why did she say it?
"Because it's not."
Zhou Li seemed to be aware of other people's thoughts and explained calmly: "This is just her intention on the surface, but in fact, her purpose is not war at all."
"You want to light up the mood, right?"
[Yes, I am amazed by your wisdom]
Don Quixote raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes curved into crescent moons, and Anya said appreciatively: [It is such a perfect word to ignite emotions]
"What will Tarik gain by destroying half of it?"
Zhou Li stared at the tall tower and the heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
[Sacrifice, dedication, love, pride, persistence, determination]
As if chanting a spell, the soldiers' faces were full of piety, and even Anya's voice was cast with a layer of divinity, [Unyielding, Brave, Kind, Perseverant, Revenge]
[What I want are all the emotions that can make human beings strong. 】
Emotions that can make humans powerful.
After hearing these words, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Zhou Li's mind, and the final piece of the puzzle was put together.
"No wonder."
Zhou Li gently rubbed Eluma's fingers, a smile appeared on his face, "No wonder you want to direct and perform this drama yourself."
This drama called war.
[For thousands of years, we have always believed that reason is supreme and emotions are elements that should be suppressed]
[When everyone educates their children, they will tell them that you should be calm, rational, and not controlled by emotions]
[When generals fight, they often suppress the anger and despair in their hearts to the extreme so that they will not affect all judgments and decisions, because only absolute rationality can allow generals to seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy]
[Many people believe that emotions are loopholes in human beings. A strong person should abandon all emotions and look at things with absolute rationality, only in this way can he get the absolutely correct answer]
"You don't agree with that, do you?"
Zhou Li looked at the heart, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "Ms. Pope of the Church of Emotions?"
【Yes】
Lin Ling sighed helplessly, and Anya continued: [This concept is not only limited to this world, but also many people in the Emotional Church believe in this view. They believe that the emotional church allows them to control their emotions and let reason dominate them. Therefore, most people in the Emotional Church actually pursue absolute rationality, which makes people laugh or cry]
"Is this a philosophy?"
Zhou Li frowned and asked curiously: "Is rationality so important?"
【No】
[That is the prejudice of the world]
Eluma leaned on Zhou Li's body, her heart was close to Zhou Li's, which made Anya unable to peek into her heart.
[Emotions are human beings’ most powerful weapon]
[During the war, it was clear that the number of enemy troops was twice or even three times that of our own, but in order to protect the country behind them and their families behind the city wall, the exhausted soldiers picked up their spears and charged towards the enemy troops with roars. In the end, the soldiers won the world-famous victory in Silver City with more soldiers than fewer soldiers.]
[The mother jumped into the bottom of the lake to avoid the brown bear and save the life of the child in her arms, and lifted the child out of the cold lake with both hands. She survived in the icy water for a whole day and died after the child was rescued. After her death, people found that her body was already cold, and death was a kind of relief for her]
[The missionary saw two tribes, two tribes that were too primitive to develop civilization at all, and they started an inhuman massacre and war. He chose to spread truth in that land and stop wars and disputes. In the end, the name of that land was changed to the Tsarist Empire]
Three examples, countries, individuals and beliefs. It's that simple, so simple that everyone has heard similar stories, so simple that everyone can easily understand the content of the story.
It's so simple that people start to wonder after hearing the story.
[If it is really rational, then the soldiers should retreat into the city and rely on their familiarity with the terrain to start street battles with each other to weaken the local strength. In this case, even if their homes will be destroyed and their families will be harmed, their chances of defeating the enemy will be greatly improved. 】
[If it is truly rational, then the mother should throw the child away and swim out of the lake by herself. Children can still be regenerated, and the continuation of the bloodline will still exist. 】
[If it is truly rational, then what the missionaries have to do is to destroy the two tribes and establish their own civilization on the fertile and undeveloped land. 】
「
However, they did not do this. "
Zhou Li opened his mouth, looked at the heart, and said sadly: "Mother's love, hatred of country and family, faith. None of them are absolutely rational, but they make people burst out with unprecedented strength in desperate situations, right?"
【Yes】
The soldiers nodded in unison, and Anya said softly: [Human beings pursue absolute rationality too much, but forget that only machines and magic energy can maintain absolute rationality]
[They have long forgotten that reason only brings them calculations and suspicions. I can tell you that the most cutting-edge technology in all countries is always confidential technology. Every country has taken encryption and control measures to the extreme, but what they protect are weapons used to destroy human beings themselves]
[Victory over the gods is itself an elusive miracle. Even if I really create a mad god, a mad god that makes all countries fearful and even unite to fight against each other, after the mad god is eliminated, the countries will still not destroy the weapons against humans, and they will not be able to do it again. Join forces to fight against the twelve moments that do not pose a threat to them】
[Because reason tells him that the gain outweighs the loss]
"So, what you want is..."
Zhou Li already knew the meaning of that heart.
【ignite emotions】
【Eliminate negative and useless emotions. Leave behind positive emotions such as unyielding, bravery, tenacity, and decisiveness. At the same time, it ignites the emotion called resistance in everyone’s hearts and starts a war against the gods]
[At that time, everyone in this world will be united, everyone will not distinguish between each other, and everyone will work together to destroy the gods. Emotions, everyone’s emotions are ignited, there will be no more wars, no disputes, even useless desires will disappear, leaving only the purest desire for defense]
【That's all】
An unprecedented, crazy, yet reasonable purpose everywhere.
"Honestly, I was shocked."
Zhou Li's tense face suddenly relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I thought you were planning to plunge mankind into absolute madness."
【I still have nostalgia for this world】
"Then stop."
Zhou Li spoke with a cold expression, "Your plan is perfect, at least it sounds perfect. The whole world uniting to fight against the gods who oppress them sounds really exciting. It's a pity..."
"This plan will only exacerbate the destruction of mankind."
[You still don’t understand, I...]
"I understand very well."
Zhou Li smiled, very coldly, "What do you think of emotions? Oreo? Can you take two biscuits apart and feed the sandwich to the dog?"
【I can do it】
"You can't do it."
Zhou Li's cold words fell into Anya's heart like ice thorns, "Emotions can never be summarized by simple good and evil, positive and negative. Emotions are human nature, and human nature is the most complex thing in the world. Do you want Take away those evils, and then you have to be prepared to give birth to extreme evils."
[Impossible, if a person's evil is deprived of him, his evil will have no soil to survive]
"A mother will do anything for her children, right?"
Zhou Li interrupted Anya's words and asked coldly: "Mothers will do anything for their children, right?"
[That is a masterpiece of love. Love can make people burst out with infinite power. It can...]
"What if a mother kills everyone who comes into contact with her child so that the child will never be able to leave her?"
This sentence made everyone who was originally confused feel like they were struck by lightning.
【That kind of thing is...】
Yes, this is love.
But this is evil.
"The missionary killed the adults of both tribes in order to spread his moral principles, leaving only the children?"
【Killing...is wrong】
"But he did it to spread his message better and faster
Gospel, he was the one who killed with mercy, wasn't he? "
Zhou Li's words made Anya seem to be in a tangle. He sneered and continued:
"Deprived of evil, good will be allowed to grow unchecked and breed more terrifying evil."
"If you make people lose their laziness, they will tire themselves to death. If you make people lose their pain, they will lose their perception of the outside world and will not even know that what they are doing is wrong. You will make people unable to Killing each other, but limited resources and land will put humans on the extinction list even earlier.”
Zhou Li smiled, a sarcastic smile, a mocking smile. Only then did he realize that if the enemy he had always been very afraid of took off the shell of a god, then she would just be a little girl with extreme chuunibyou.
A world where, like Madara Uchiha, he believed that if people's hearts were changed through external forces and all people's hearts were filled with goodness, there would be no more evil.
However, that is just the self-righteous thought of a fool.
"You think you are doing the right thing. Aren't you arrogant or arrogant?"
[I can let positive good fill the empty evil! 】
[They lost their enterprising spirit, so I replenished their enterprising spirit. They lost the ability to feel pain, so I made their nerves more sensitive. If they are tireless, I will fill them with more nutrients and let them soothe themselves spiritually]
【I can do it, I can do it! 】
"Well, hello."
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with the girl who was already going crazy.
"The new member of Twelve Hours, the goddess of emotions—Anya."
"Nice to meet you."
