#563 - 554 Yesterday's Shadow (Superman, resurrection!)
After the Titan King, with his faces of blood and iron, declared Ma En "innocent," he began to seriously size up and observe the young human standing in the Titan ruins. His gaze seemed to pierce through Ma En's thin body, directly into his soul and consciousness—even though the Titan King no longer possessed a soul.
"So, you're the human who gave the Ninth King confidence," he said, his voice carrying a spine-chilling gentleness that clashed with his indifferent eyes, exuding an aura of disharmony.
Fortunately, Zhasina didn't allow Ma En to respond to the Titan King, interjecting before he could react:
"Walter, you haven't changed a bit."
Walter glanced at Zhasina:
"You're still the same as well. Even though you've realized that the 'we' of the past are not the 'I' of the present, that we are entirely new lives from the moment of our reincarnation, you still waste unnecessary energy on these humans.
"You should be paying more attention to our brethren, not the fate of human civilization."
Zhasina replied:
"If you didn't plan on destroying human civilization, I would immediately send him back and never 'waste' my precious energy on humans again. But you seek to destroy the race that created us.
"You and I both originated from humans. The blood of the entire Titan race flows with their genes."
Walter shook his head slightly:
"You haven't changed in the slightest."
Zhasina sighed:
"But you've changed too much. You used to be such a gentle person. You certainly couldn't have imagined that you would eventually become this cold-blooded and cruel, otherwise you wouldn't have proposed this plan."
Walter looked at Zhasina with his cold, "iron-like" eyes:
"That wasn't the past me, and he couldn't have imagined what I would become. You are always swept forward by the powerful inertia of your initial consciousness, unable to realize when your true self was born.
"You don't even have a soul. How dare you say you are her?"
Zhasina calmly replied:
"I didn't say I was her, but I also don't think I need to change. I'm not here today to discuss how we Thirteen Kings should treat our roots. We're here to talk about cooperating with humans."
Walter interrupted again with that strangely gentle voice that made Ma En uneasy:
"But in my opinion, it's precisely the problem I mentioned that led to your current decision. If you could distinguish between the her of the past and the you of the present, you wouldn't be repeating her actions as you are now.
"She is just a shadow from the past. Perhaps she shaped your initial form, but that's all. You don't need to continue down her path. You should find out who you really are.
"Grow on their corpses, instead of becoming a shadow of yesterday."
Zhasina's voice turned cold:
"Of course, you can have your own ideas, but I've made my choice. It's not only the path you think is right that is the only right path. We can choose different ways to treat the past."
Walter still spoke in that somewhat irritatingly gentle tone:
"If you haven't opened your eyes, how dare you say you've made a choice?"
Seeing the atmosphere gradually turning tense, Ma En, who had been unsure of what to say, realized that now was the best opportunity to interject. He cleared his throat, drawing their attention to himself.
"Cough cough," Ma En said sincerely, "Maybe you think Zhasina's decision is wrong, but I also want to stop you from going to war with human civilization, and I should have sufficient reason and qualification to say so, right?
"I am a pure human."
He was actually subtly shifting the topic, and it was somewhat related to what Walter had said. At this moment, he was questioning whether Zhasina should help humans, so Ma En directly shifted the focus of the matter to himself. And as a human, his actions to stop the Titans could be said to be justified.
But to Ma En's surprise, Walter's gaze towards him held a hint of doubt:
"Really?"
This instantly shifted the atmosphere to a strangeness completely different from before, catching both Ma En and Zhasina off guard, unable to immediately realize what Walter was asking.
But Ma En still understood the meaning of this sentence.
He was indeed questioning the words "pure human."
"I can't directly see souls," Walter blinked his mechanical eye alone, "But I can sense those non-soul substances affected by souls, and use them to deduce the outlines of your souls.
"And based on my limited information, the outline of your soul doesn't look very much like a human, or rather, not like the kind of human I'm most familiar with, but more like some kind of humanoid subspecies.
"Of course, there could be many reasons for the strange shape of your soul, and what I see is only a reflection of your soul in the reality of my eyes, not even as much as the world in your eyes.
"Perhaps you are extraordinarily talented, or something happened to you that gave you a different soul outline from other humans. After all, I'm not a soul expert."
Ma En also said at this time:
"My ability is indeed related to the spiritual realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the matter seemed to have passed, and Walter had no intention of delving into it at all, but Ma En knew very well that his last few sentences were just platitudes.
If Walter really thought that Ma En was just because of extraordinary talent or some reason that his "soul outline" was a little different from ordinary people, as he said, he wouldn't have said the words "Really?".
He must have had full confidence when he raised his doubts.
After all, what Walter said was true.
Although Ma En was indeed a native-born Federal human, he also didn't forget that he also came from another world completely different from here. Although his memory of that world's information is not much now, it can be said with certainty that it was a place completely different from the Federation, and if there was anything on him that belonged to that world...
Then it was only the soul.
Therefore, the reason why Walter raised his doubts was also very obvious. He was secretly reminding himself, which could be regarded as some kind of subtle hint, and the meaning contained in it was extremely subtle and complex.
However, Walter's behavior of not getting to the bottom of the matter also revealed that he had not completely rejected Ma En and Zhasina's proposal, and his purpose seemed more like telling Ma En "he knew."
And this meant that Walter was actually still hesitating.
"I understand that you are a Titan King," so Ma En said, "You are not like Zhasina who is willing to consider the survival of our human civilization. You are more willing to use a seemingly simpler way to solve the gods.
"But what if I can prove you wrong?"
Walter showed a playful expression:
"Oh?"
