Chapter 118 The Demise of the Dorumechia Army
"No, why is this happening? No! Mr. Liu said they could be saved! Why is this happening?!"
Rasdel's tone seemed to be questioning Sivir, but more so questioning the world why such a horrific tragedy had occurred.
With each cry of grief and indignation, Lasdale's tears fell again, while Sivir looked at Lasdale with some confusion. Although she was an emotional robot, there was still much for her to learn, just like now.
"Miss Rasdale, are you sad for them?"
Isn't that obvious? Tears are already streaming down her face! The captain next to her said as she fell:
"I feel your sadness, Sivir!!"
"Fool, it's normal for me to be sad. Isn't that Miss Rasdale's enemy down there?"
Through these few days of getting along, Sivir has basically understood Rasdale's idea of restoring her country. But precisely because of this, she should be happy to see the enemy's entire army wiped out.
Indeed, robots have their downsides when they are eager to learn; they can also pick up the base traits that are unique to humans. However, the Lasdale before her was clearly not that kind of person. Her kind heart compelled her to sympathize with these people who were suffering, even though she knew that they were her former enemies.
"Sylvie, where is Mr. Liu? I need to go ask him; he promised me..."
“Miss, I think you’re mistaken. Young Master will never interfere in this world, nor can he save it.”
"No, no, then what was the point of building Laputa? Was it to watch the world suffer and toy with all living beings? Ah!!"
Lasdale was clearly losing control. She knew more than once that tears were useless, but it was precisely because she knew that she had to question, shout, and fight.
Her words also made Sivir suspicious. Yes! What was the purpose of establishing Laputa? Or rather, what did Liu Yufei mean by building Laputa?
If it were about conquering the world, Laputa's current technological capabilities would have made it entirely possible, but Liu Yufei didn't do that. He has the ability to bring light to this world.
"Fool, what is the young master thinking?"
As an elder of Laputa, Sivir naturally asked the captain first, but she didn't really expect him to give her an answer, since the captain's system was not as advanced as hers.
Normally, the captain wouldn't answer, but seeing the desolation left by the King Worm, he finally spoke in a mechanical voice:
"Laputa is for the continuation of the world's beauty, for the creation of Eden! Laputa is built by people, Laputa is built by the young master!!"
These words, though seemingly unspoken, were understood by Sivir, who was initially startled but immediately objected:
"No way! Young Master isn't that kind of person!!"
"Captain!! You have the most advanced technology, why don't you even look at the people below?"
After venting her emotions, Lasdale's mood had stabilized considerably, so her words were spoken with a more subdued tone. The captain, however, maintained his mechanical voice:
"I am the guardian robot of Laputa, and my duty is to protect the safety of Laputa."
"Captain, stop talking!!"
This statement seemed somewhat nonsensical, but Sivir was unusually excited and interrupted the captain. Rasdale was initially puzzled, but then her pupils widened in surprise, and she murmured:
"Laputa is not a paradise at all; it's a hell built by your young master... It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!!"
Lasdale clearly understood what the captain said, but she couldn't accept it. She immediately clutched her head, struggling internally with her inner turmoil!
Because the captain inadvertently revealed the true nature of Laputa: Laputa was indeed designed according to the Garden of Eden, but this Garden of Eden was not designed by God, but by Liu Yufei!
What is the Garden of Eden? It is only the Garden of Eden when there is a comparison. Compared to what place? It is compared to the defiled land below.
You say this makes no problem? No, it makes a big problem! Because the real Garden of Eden only exists in the ideal, while Laputa of this world has appeared in reality.
Since it appears in reality, it will have its own practical significance. On the one hand, Laputa is the Garden of Eden, and the starting point is the hope that the Impure World can also be like Laputa.
But a paradox immediately arises: if the world below becomes Laputa, then is Laputa, which appears in the real world, still the Garden of Eden?
Eden must always be higher than reality. To maintain this height, there are only two ways: one is to keep developing so that Laputa is always one plane higher than the ones below.
Laputa did just that, but unfortunately, the development of civilizations always has its limitations, and so Laputa fell!
So, the second point is to let the Edo Tensei remain in chaos forever, so that Laputa can slowly break through the shackles of civilization.
This is similar to the doctor paradox. Doctors, as a profession, have the duty to save lives and heal the wounded, but they do not want the world to be without patients forever, because if that were the case, they would be unemployed!
Most doctors even hope that there are as many patients as possible in the world, because that way they will never be unemployed. Unfortunately, they will eventually reach their own limits.
This bottleneck is born from civilization, so there is no way to break through it in a short time. So we have to switch to a second track, which is to make sure that the curable disease is not easily cured, and that we can take medicine for a long time. This way, everyone is happy.
To make themselves appear like the Garden of Eden, they then wreak havoc on other countries—it goes without saying who it is!
What's even more infuriating is that this situation is unavoidable. There were already hegemons in the world before, and in order to maintain their dominant position, they did a lot of things that plunged others into darkness.
Don't just talk about how beautiful and British people are! Did our ancestors do this too? I bet they'll continue doing it in the future, because that's human nature, it's unavoidable. (Ugh! This is so damn hopeless! I don't want to write anymore! Long live the great unity of the people of the world!)
That's why the captain just said he's a guardian robot, which is basically a war robot. Once the war is over, he'll be unemployed.
Meanwhile, on the spaceship, the camp below had been completely engulfed by the Ohmu, but the Ohmu showed no sign of stopping and continued to advance forward.
Where are we going?
Crotova looked out the window and couldn't help but ask himself a question. At that moment, his subordinate brought over a bottle of wine, which Crotova poured with practiced ease and handed to Kushana.
"This is strong liquor; the excruciating pain might make you feel better! Your Highness, you should snap out of it!!"
Kushana hadn't said a word since she arrived, her eyes cold and focused solely on the project plan on the table in front of her. She hadn't given up on herself, nor had she lost her temper! But seeing Crotova's actions, Kushana finally pushed her wine glass away in anger!
Anger surged through Crotova, but he remained unmoved, because he was right. As the manager, he could not let his emotions control him.
Kushana's condition at this moment was absolutely terrible, but she finally let out a long breath. Without that breath, she seemed about to collapse, and finally said in a calm tone:
"How are my soldiers? Have they all been rescued?"
In fact, she understood what had happened better than anyone else. It's just that people are like this: when faced with sudden changes, they first deny and doubt, then become angry, then gradually calm down, and finally feel endless sadness.
"Your Highness...please accept our condolences!!" Apart from us, everyone else...
Only Crotova dared to speak out, because he was also a veteran of the battlefield and knew that at this moment, someone had to stand up and tell the truth. To be honest, Crotova was extremely incompetent in his role as an undercover agent.
Compared to Kushana, Crotova was much more optimistic. After all, for someone like him, being alive was a blessing. At this moment, he was even thinking about how the deeply traumatized Kushana would throw herself into his arms, and how he, as a man, was comforting her!
Of course, he knew he was just daydreaming, but a person should have dreams, otherwise what's the difference between them and a salted fish?
Clearly, Kushana wasn't the kind of person he thought. She instantly stood up, her eyes sharpening, and almost roared:
"Catch up with the Ohmu army! I need to find out how the Earth Demon controls the Ohmu!!"
As she spoke, Kushana removed her blood-stained helmet, revealing a head of beautiful hair underneath. Her braids, which had been hidden behind her, were pulled out by herself, and she drew her longsword!
This startled Crotova, who thought Kushana was acting recklessly. She thought to herself, "Sister, it can't be that bad! Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war!"
It was too late to stop her. Fortunately, Kushana wasn't really trying to kill herself. With a swift movement, her golden hair fell loose, and the braid at the back was severed, which she clutched tightly in her hand. Then, tears welled up in her eyes, and she threw the braid to the ground.
"Soldiers, I will never forget your sacrifice. Accept this! Next time, the blood of the enemy will be used to commemorate you!!"
The term "tyrant" is generally used to describe men, but at this moment, Kushana really does have a bit of a kingly demeanor. Of course, Cao Cao also used this tactic.
Unfortunately, a tyrant is still a tyrant, and while there are many tyrants in this world, the one who can truly save this corrupt world is definitely a true hero.
Although there is only one word difference between a tyrant and a hero, the very existence of that word leads to completely different historical records.
There are many differences, but ultimately there is only one: who you prefer to be friends with!
Kushana was angry and sad, and these emotions were genuine, but more than anything, she felt resentment and bitterness at having her pride trampled on.
This is a kind of anger of being slapped in the face, like Neji dying in front of Naruto. Although everyone was very moved, the emotions involved were too complicated. To be honest, Naruto and Neji didn't have much interaction, but in the end, Neji was still sacrificed by Kishimoto to enhance the emotions!
However, this sacrifice was somewhat abrupt, and Naruto's emotions didn't hold up. It became a feeling of "I just got a power-up, and you killed my teammate." He said he was sad about his brother's sacrifice, but he was actually more angry about being slapped in the face!
Of course, that doesn't mean I wasn't sad! It's just that it wasn't as unforgettable as we might have imagined!
