If it were an adult, Ash would have probably knocked the person away with a slap, but the other person was still a child and stood in front of him with an obviously blinded sense of justice, which inevitably troubled him a little.
"His Holiness the Pope is..."
"——They are the invaders, right?" Before Julius could finish speaking, Ash's rhetorical question became particularly sharp.
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing directly to the core of the problem.
"This, this..." Julius was speechless.
The brave warriors of all generations have been supported by the God of Words and Instructions to carry out activities (activities, eight reasons). There is a constant close relationship between the brave men and the spirit of the God of Words and Words, that is, Said... If it were a commission from the Divine Word Sect, it would be difficult for a brave man to refuse.
And they were indeed invaders, even though he didn't know what was happening on the front lines, but...
"For pagans, even a child can imagine what these religious believers will do to them, right? Or do you think the people of the Goddess Religion are not human beings?"
Ash's questioning voice was cold and serious, and every word was like a heavy stone weighing on Julius's heart.
"..." Julius was silent, he didn't know how to answer.
He had never thought deeply about these issues. In his simple world, good and evil seemed so clear, but now... everything seemed to have become blurred.
"Are you silent? Children are so kind. You don't have to answer questions you don't want to answer. Then let me answer them for you. The city will be slaughtered, the men will become slaves, and the women will become prostitutes or military prostitutes. The object of everyone’s play.”
Ash's words were like the whispers of demons in the darkness, cruel but extremely true...perhaps it was precisely because they were true that they were even more cruel.
"How could..." Julius's eyes widened, his face full of horror and disbelief. He wanted to deny it but couldn't.
At this moment, the sword in his hand dropped unconsciously, because he couldn't even figure out which side was the evil one.
"I just said it with tears in my eyes: I don't intend to invade other countries, I just want peace." Xiu Xiu looked at Youmenlius. The confused look in his eyes added.
"...But, but you are a devil!" Julius raised his head and looked at Ash, with fear still remaining in his eyes, but more of confusion.
Although he could not identify Ash, he heard clearly what the Pope said before.
"But I'm doing good."
"Everyone on the battlefield..."
"You must have corresponding awareness when you go to the battlefield. As a brave man, you will directly make the other side lose its legitimacy. If the invaders are not eliminated to provide sufficient deterrence, other countries will also attack Saliera. Only through deterrence can peace be achieved in Saliera."
Ash's voice echoed in Julius's ears, like a key trying to open the blinded door of justice in Julius's heart.
Julius, who didn't know what to do, looked towards the direction of the battlefield, his eyes full of pain, his legs completely lost their strength, and he fell to his knees on the ground.
............................
............................
With his rich theoretical knowledge and sharp words, Ash completely defeated the remaining fighting spirit in the heart of the young hero.
However, this is also inseparable from the fact that the hero himself trusted the villain and got involved in this unjust war in a confused way.
When Ash stated these words, his peripheral vision never left the Pope who had been silent.
Pope Dustin closed his eyes tightly, as if he was aloof from the incident, neither refuting nor responding to everything in front of him.
It wasn't until Ash walked towards him again that Pope Dustin finally slowly opened his eyes.
"....Who are you? I don't remember the existence of demons in the system." The old man's voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes revealed vigilance and doubt.
"Because I am an outsider." Ashi stated his origins without any concealment. At least he found no need to hide it.
"...In other words, you plan to level up here, gain enough strength and then leave?" Dustin made his own judgment instantly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, like an ice knife in the cold winter. : "——Are you a devil and a robber?"
His words were full of accusations, trying to portray Ash as a greedy plunderer, but Ash smiled contemptuously and spread his hands indifferently:
"This is really ugly to say. If you are free people, I won't mention it, but you are all people who voluntarily become D's toys, right? And I have obtained the master's right to participate in the game."
These words made Dustin's face turn gloomy, but he couldn't say anything else.
Ash also brushed aside the guard captain who was blocking his way, put his hand on his shoulder, and completed the mental invasion when he was stunned.
At this moment, countless memory fragments poured into Ash's mind, and he understood more things, such as the reason why Ariel hated humans.
It turns out that the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him, Pope Dustin, was once the president of the country of Dustrutia in the old era about three thousand years ago.
With the ability of the American and German title "Temperance", he has been reincarnated 60 times, witnessed countless historical changes, and inherited the memory of the past each time.
In the old civilization period, humans' abuse of MA energy had reached an unscrupulous level.
Not only did they receive warnings from the goddess, but even the real dragons warned them, telling them bluntly that such abuse of energy would put the entire planet in danger of destruction.
However, humans turned a deaf ear to these warnings and continued to do their own thing.
When the dragons punished humans to stop their crazy behavior, humans actually used the goddess's protection to protect themselves, and then... unrepentantly used the goddess's protection to continue to do evil.
Their evil deeds are far more than that. They even abducted the children of the real dragon clan and tried to take them for research. In the whole process, they continued to use the goddess to avoid the revenge of the real dragon.
It highlights a person who is incapable but good at courting death, and can be called a lot of evil.
Of course, it was Potimas who abducted the dragon child, but the entire human race fueled the frenzy of collecting energy.
At the last moment, each country was shirking responsibility. No matter which country made the mistake, they blamed the dragon or other countries for the destruction of the planet.
The country led by Dustin was no exception. They banned the use of M..A energy on the surface, but secretly smuggled it and condemned other countries for using M..A energy.
"Garbage should be garbage. No matter what method is used, people must be protected until the moment my soul is wiped out. This is the only thing I can do shamelessly; the goddess Sariel once gave us humans salvation in the hands of the dragon, but in order for the world to continue to exist, that noble person will be offered as a living sacrifice... You said this, it's quite great."
With a smile that sees through people's hearts, Ash slowly said what Dustin had said at the last critical moment of the old civilization, before the birth of the system.
Of course, this was actually a plan proposed by the elf leader Potimas when they were still human. Potimas was also the most active person in developing energy. However, Dustin was the president and the most prestigious country, so after he adopted it, the matter was decided.
After that, people began to pray to the goddess to sacrifice themselves and become living sacrifices, constantly extracting energy from the system, hanging in the system center, and becoming puppets of the system.
................................
The words spoken by Ash made the old man in front of him, who looked like a kind-looking grandfather everywhere, widen his eyes instantly, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.
He stood up from his seat suddenly, his body trembling slightly, and his voice became sharp due to excitement: "- You peeked into my memory?!"
"Let's just take a rough look at it? After all, I have no interest in such a long memory, but ah~ As a human being, you may be considered a savior, but... As an individual, it's really bad." Ash sat on the table, swinging his legs casually, and said with a hint of ridicule.
"After the guardians protected them many times, this stubborn group directly sacrificed the guardians in exchange for their own survival... To be honest, you are the worst group of humans I know."
"-Although most people are guilty, not everyone should bear the consequences. It is the country and the people who exploit M..A energy..." Dustin tried to defend the humans, but he was interrupted by Ash before he finished speaking:
"During an avalanche, no snowflake wants to admit that it is the culprit of the avalanche; but during an avalanche, no snowflake will be innocent."
If there are no snowflakes, how can there be an avalanche? It's like many people did a bad thing together, but no one thinks it is their responsibility.
Since it is a bad thing done by everyone, no one can get away with it. Although some countries banned the exploitation of energy in the old days,
But even in the country ruled by Dustin, everyone was using it secretly knowing the consequences...Don't say that civilians have no responsibility. Even in the orphanage run by the goddess, Ariel and others who were once adopted by the goddess are all beneficiaries, but no one refuses that omnipotent energy.
When it benefits, everyone enjoys it together, but when it comes to the critical moment, they say they have no responsibility, and some condemn those who go to mine M..A energy. Isn't this a bit of a lie?
Dustin actually knew this clearly, but because he knew the right and wrong clearly, he chose to avoid this thorny question and looked into Ash's eyes without flinching:
"You can say that I am mean, shameless and trash, and I admit it, but as a group, it is instinctive to seek the continuation of life. After all, it was just a mistake made by people in the past, and future generations should not be affected."
"In fact, they are all a whole... Well, I am not interested in these."
He really didn't have much interest in how the humans in this world were, but he took a look out of interest and found that the original stray real dragon had now become the administrator of the system, and his power was basically invested in the system to help the goddess relieve pressure...
But even so, after so many years, the goddess has not looked at her differently, she has been licking silently... No, silently paying.
This situation really made Ash feel a little subtle. Although at first he just wanted to know what the pope's conspiracy was, now he not only increased his understanding of history, but also obtained this unexpected information.
But just as he was worrying about how to face the problems that the real dragon might bring, Pope Dustin across from him suddenly changed the subject and said:
"....Are you a demon from another world?"
"What's wrong?"
"In this case, you are definitely not a righteous person, let alone seeking justice for the goddess for human crimes, right?"
There was a hint of temptation in Dustin's tone, and he was trying to find some information that would benefit him from Ash's answer.
"...Has anyone ever said that you are rude to others?"
"But you're not human."
"It's not true, but what I said is just a general idea."
"Let's cooperate."
"It's so interesting... A person who can't do anything, who has no leverage, and who is still harboring evil intentions and plotting against those who were his former benefactors, actually said this to me?"
Ash, who couldn't trust this person who had discussed with others in the past how to sacrifice the dragon and goddess to save him again when necessary, sneered and turned around without replying:
"After all these years, you still have the ambition to save mankind. Let me praise you for this, but you can't do anything. You have nothing valuable in your hands. Your character and soul can't be sold at a high price either. In addition to using If you have great righteousness and deceive those stupid people to sacrifice themselves for you, what else can you do? Just continue to reincarnate slowly and wait for the end."
"...."
Ash's decisive refusal left Dustin speechless and speechless.
From theory to soul, even the existence of n-value and g-value has been so thoroughly denied. In addition, with the appearance of such a big defeat a long time ago, he is still shocked. The person did not show any dissatisfaction, but just watched Ya Xiu leave, and tried hard to put his mind in order, preparing to gather the remaining defeated soldiers and lead people away from here.
Although he was unwilling to do so, he was also very rational and understood that he could not defeat the opponent. For the sake of the overall situation, he could not provoke Ash.
............................
............................
In the eyes of Qiu Ledidasi and Ariel Liu, Dasitin is an existence that can be admired and recognized by the monster dream.
However, in Ash's view, the only thing he deserves recognition for is his persistence.
The gap between Dustin's dreams and what he actually has is almost ridiculous.
It's not from a superior perspective, but by integrating Dustin's memory, you can find that what Dustin did is really insignificant.
Take the integration of human beings as an example. He has only done some integration work on the surface. In fact, after so many years, even humans have not been able to fully integrate.
There are still forces like the Goddess Cult floating around, and the Goddess Cult is not yet a church or country protected by Ariel.
In most cases, the countries he can directly mobilize are actually only one Theocracy, and other countries are driven through various complex means.
Even if you want to destroy the Goddess Cult, you have to go to great lengths to trick young heroes into coming over, in order to gain a righteous name for yourself, and then incite other countries to join the attack.
Therefore, he cannot be regarded as truly integrating the human group at all. At most, he has some means in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, which can mobilize the situation to a certain extent.
Precisely because what he could do was unsatisfactory compared to his own abilities, Ash naturally didn't think he was qualified to negotiate a deal with him.
Even if you take a step back, even if all humans are really handed over to him to lead, the overall strength of humans in this world is too weak.
Take Ariel for example, she can easily play with humans at her fingertips by herself, and she doesn't even need to take action herself, the spiders under her can easily eliminate humans several times.
The survival of human beings to this day is all due to Ariel and the true dragon named Qiuledistyes; one limits the range of spiders' activities, and the other limits the activities of dragons. Otherwise, humans and demons would have long since disappeared from this world. Gone.
Although it is true that he has a ruthless side that would kill even gods if necessary, he cannot do this with his own abilities and strength. He can only rely on righteousness to plot against the goddess and the real dragon... In other words, his Coldness and calculation are only effective against more-than-human beings, only those who have good intentions toward them.
I don't want to kill him now, but I want to see when this guy can be used in the future... After all, Dustin is still very good at being despicable and shameless.
However, Ash was stopped in mid-air before he could return to Galen Territory. A huge black dragon suddenly appeared opposite him.
The black dragon exuded a terrifying and terrifying coercion, which was much more powerful than any living thing he had ever seen before.
The black dragon just floated there quietly, without saying a word, but stared at Ash with its huge eyes, as if it could see through Ash.
This made Ash unable to hold back, and he spoke first: "You are Qiu Liedisti... Forget it, I'll call you Qiu Lie. What does the administrator want to see me for?"
"... You are an outsider." Qiu Lie spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the sky like thunder, and every syllable was filled with an inexplicable, suffocating pressure, and even murderous intent.
"Isn't this obvious?" He had expected him to appear, so he did not teleport, but responded with a flying Ash.
His tone seemed very relaxed, and he did not seem to be affected by the momentum of the giant dragon in front of him.
"....Aren't you afraid? As an outsider, interfering with this world and creating such a large-scale massacre is simply breaking the balance of the system."
A fierce light appeared in the eyes of the giant dragon transformed by Qiu Lie. It stared at Ash tightly, as if examining a sinner who committed a heinous crime.
................................
The appearance of the black dragon made the atmosphere tense at this moment, as if the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the two sides seemed to be in a fierce conflict in the next moment.
However....Even if the opponent was a god, or a god who appeared in his original form, Ash seemed calmer than last time.
He looked back at the other person calmly, without any fear in his eyes:
"What are you afraid of? Your power is basically contributed to the system, and your authority as an administrator is also very limited; after all, D should be considered the actual controller here, even if you want to protect humans for personal gain, you have no right to interfere with me; especially since you are a god, what will be the consequences of you attacking me casually? You should have considered it yourself, right? It is because you are worried about offending D that you have not shown up until I slaughtered the coalition forces... Am I right?"
"......."
Qiu Lie wanted to refute, but he was speechless for a while.
Things like strategies are not what he is good at, and he also has defects in communication.
