Chapter 441 Heavy Rain Is Coming (2-in-1)

"So that's it..."

Russell took a deep breath.

He finally understood everything.

No wonder, whether it is Sheath, Alice, Bad Sun or others, they are so convinced that as long as the truth of history can be found, it is possible to save the world.

They are not historians obsessed with seeking the truth of history, nor are they extremist organizations that commit crimes in the name of seeking history.

They are resisting the company, but not to oppose the company; they are assassinating the elves, but not to exterminate the elves; they attack the Uncoded organization, but not to eradicate the Uncoded. They seemed to be fighting against everything, and hostile to everything... It seemed as if they were enemies everywhere, and they seemed to have friends and partners everywhere.

Although the Tower of Babel is always killing something and destroying something, they are not resisters or opponents... They do not serve any organization or force, but are the real salvation organization.

Their actions have always had an extremely clear purpose - rather than fighting each other based on their camps and positions.

It's just that this ultimate goal is too high and completely divorced from the masses. This makes their position aloof and unable to be understood and resonated with by others... People are always more inclined to solve imminent disasters, even if it is just to drink poison to quench their thirst.

Therefore, when the Tower of Babel implements this purpose, there will be a steady stream of obstructionists in different camps, different positions, and different organizations.

Some people understand everything and just stand on the side of the dragon; some people don't know that the elf directors are actually divided in their internal opinions, but they are loyal to the positions of the elf directors and the "Big Seven"; some elf directors want to Looking for the truth, but more people want to continue like this because they don't want to get the answer; others just stand in the way of the Tower of Babel and become an obstacle to them.

There are fools and wise men; there are conservatives and radicals; there are optimists and pessimists.

This is why the Tower of Babel has always put its energy into the dragons and elves... because all they need is the support of these high-ranking "authorities".

Will this solve any problem? Actually it doesn't.

It can only offer a hope, a possibility.

Because all the elves don't know the meaning of these two locks. But not all elves hope that the world can survive and that they can survive.

——In the final analysis, they are not the real "immortal species" after all.

No matter how well they disguise themselves or how good they are at self-deception, what they receive is not the education of the Immortal Seed, and the culture they inherit is not the Immortal Seed. Although their souls are solidified and their personalities will not change in any way...the accumulated pressure from the long thousand-year watch, the endless future, and the approaching doomsday is enough to cause their spirits to become distorted.

Russell finally understood why each of these elf directors seemed to be wilting...

Because most of the name-bearing elves have become numb and just hope to perform their duties silently until the end.

They have no longer appeared in front of people in recent years, which is the best proof.

They are obviously the rulers and the people with the highest power, but they are not excited about it at all.

Because their desire to rule has faded. It’s like a player on the verge of giving up on a mobile game.

After finishing the daily grind every day, I am too lazy to continue to post pictures even if I can, or even go online to finish the daily grind. Just five minutes will become very tortured; even if I draw a particularly powerful human rights card, I may not be able to cheer up. Come. Even if you draw it, you may not pull it up, let alone use it - it's like using clairvoyance to see the game you are playing in advance, starting from a few months later, the next six months or even a year It's going to be boring and full of shit and shit activities, and they won't be able to get out of it.

So even now that these shits haven't come yet, they will lose interest in continuing to play...at least they will lose their excitement.

He clearly holds the power to rule the world, but it feels like he is in prison.

On the opposite side of them...are the elves of the new era.

These were not young elves born before year 0. They did not know the heavy historical truth, let alone the hopeless future... They were full of desire for power and the desire to show off their talents. They are extremely active and strive to become executives in major companies and masters in various fields, further accelerating the deformation of the world.

People like Amirus just watched calmly, but did not hold any unnecessary hope.

In this way, even if you get a bad result in the end, at least you won't be so disappointed.

As for Camarthe and Tovatus, what they have in common is that they begin to ignore life and rules and act casually and willfully.

Based on this mentality, combined with the sacrifice of Director Sal, Russell can understand why Kamalse hoped to fulfill his destiny by creating inferiors...

The "destiny" of the named elf is not a "mission" that will be sublimated after completion.

It’s a “mission” that I don’t know when it will come.

Why do named elves gain immortality after fulfilling their destiny? Because their mission has ended.

The mission of Kamalse is definitely not to allow bad people to be born... Judging from Thrall's situation, the "destiny" of every named elf can trigger the power of miracles to save the world. Maybe there is a crisis that can only be solved by a "marriage of opposites" - that is the meaning of Camarse's existence.

The meaning of his existence is to wait for the fate that he doesn't know will come.

But Kamal was tired of it.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Just like after completing his design draft, the leader said, "I will change it after I send you my opinions." So Camarse has been waiting for the leader's opinion.

But he waited for a long time, and finally got tired of waiting. So he got angry and decided to just send it over.

If the world judged that his destiny was fulfilled, Kamaltha did not trigger the power of miracles, so he was not sacrificed. Then there will be no new Kamalse born... so the BUG is stuck.

Now that Kamaltha will learn about this method, now that others will know that "fulfilling" one's destiny can lead to immortality.

That means he is by no means the first.

Before him, there must have been elf directors who gave up their mission and left behind this heavy burden.

… So Babel developed that technology.

A technology that can completely kill an elf director and completely replace it with another person's.

From this point of view, not only the name-bearing elves became anxious, but also the Tower of Babel.

Just like before the heavy rain, all kinds of insects, snakes, birds and beasts appeared. All creatures began to grow restless.

Even the Tower of Babel has lost the confidence to continue investigating until the end.

They originally had the most upright motive - to find the truth for the people of the world.

But the purpose of the Tower of Babel is not to find the truth after all. The truth is just a trump card and a weapon for them. Their core purpose is to persuade other named elves or dragons to open at least one of the two locks after finding the truth.

In this case, if you can't find out until the end... just choose another path.

A path destined to be the enemy of the entire world.

If you wait until the end, you won't get permission. Just use violent means to replace all the named elves with your own people and forcefully open the lock.

That will naturally usher in an extremely violent counterattack.

Because no one except the dragon knows what opening the lock will bring. After they open the lock, they may not be able to save the world immediately.

However, the Tower of Babel can shake the authority held by the elves by "creating elf directors".

To this day, people still believe that elves are another race completely different from humans, a better and superior race of rulers. But if even the elf directors can make it, it means that they are not that great, and the elf directors have no power to rule them - after all, if they continue to obey the elf directors, then are they working for the elves or for Babel? Where is Ta working hard?

While it may not actually make any difference, the Tower of Babel's actions amounted to a "claim" for everyone.

Even if they have no intention of gaining world hegemony, it is tantamount to denying the foundation of the order so far - the old order based on elves.

This will surely trigger a worldwide civil war. Careers and saviors will appear at the same time, squeezing the last drop of oil out of a world that is already running out of resources.

If this was a normal world, Russell would definitely support and even try his best to dismantle the order composed of elves and dragons. That will inevitably bring about a new world of greater freedom and equality.

However, this world can no longer withstand any larger war.

Even today's resources are almost exhausted, and social order can only be barely maintained by concealment. Each sky island even began to think of ways to reduce its own population in order to delay the arrival of the "final day".

Everyone is already a paper tiger.

In the cyber society, the high-level people can have a lofty status of dominating everything, which is actually due to the huge resources they control.

But if everyone knows that resources have been exhausted, the cyberpunk script will immediately turn to the doomsday wasteland - anyway, the time is coming and everyone must die. Do you think I will still listen to you?

"in this case……"

Russell murmured: "So in the war of religious law, the Tower of Babel does not stand on the side of the mages, nor does it stand on the side of the church."

It is clear that Babel is deeply involved in both organizations at the same time, but it is not helping either side.

Obviously, the mages and the higher-ups of the church are more or less aware of the truth.

Obviously everyone knows everything.

But the war that swept the world, destroyed the earth, and burned countless resources was still promoted.

It was probably from that moment that the world was inevitably pushed towards destruction.

In an instant, Russell understood the despair of the former leader of the Tower of Babel. This may be one of the reasons why he passed the Tower of Babel to the deer-headed statue... because he was too tired.

The situation in the world at that time was like that of two adults and a child, sealed in a cave by falling rocks. The outside rescue team didn't know when or whether it would come, but with their power there was no way they could break through the barrier at the cave entrance and escape on their own.

This operating mode has continued for a full thousand years.

The adults grew hungry, and the air in the cave became thinner.

In order to obtain food, and also to monopolize the scarce resources in the cave, the two adults began an extremely cruel battle until one party died completely.

The child saw all this and tried to stop the two - because fighting would only further reduce the thin oxygen in the cave. But they completely ignored the children's obstruction and beat one of them until he turned into food.

The child cried and obstructed. But he was casually hammered to the side, and just being casually affected, he was already beaten black and blue by both sides.

He was the only one awake, but he couldn't do anything.

——The Tower of Babel has been struggling until now, but the research still has not made a breakthrough.

With the news that resources are about to run out, the official announcement of doom has sounded.

The named elves headed by Sai Lun finally began to attack the Tower of Babel.

Although I don't know why...

But she rejected the "hope" and "possibility" represented by the Tower of Babel and chose the ending of putting out the fire.

She was so determined to extinguish this lingering flame of hope.

"There is no way forward, and there is no way back..."

Even Russell felt desperate in an instant.

He also finally understood what Tovatus's favorite words, the words that the Veil of Ignorance regarded as a standard, really meant...

"——We are the agents of the God of Justice, clowns on the stage, people in shells."

Russell sighed deeply: "The Tower of Babel is just a clown on God's stage."

And just then.

There was a long silence, listening to all the secret sheaths.

He finally spoke and spoke in a hoarse voice his first words since arriving here.

"[...If this is a stage that only happens once in your life, let it go and play it to your heart's content.]"

The man with bandages on his eyes slowly turned around and stood up: "Do you know who said this, Russell?

"Well...if I remember correctly, your name should be Russell."

"I have no idea."

Russell said slowly.

At this moment, the deer-headed statue realized something: "'Who are you talking to, barber?'"

Sheath said calmly: "Your mother said that.

"That was the last thing she said to me when I left her."

"That's it."

"-'Barber? Is there anyone else here?'"

The synthesized voice of a deer-headed image rang out.

She didn't see the sheath at all and couldn't hear him.

"It's so noisy."

Sheath sighed.

The next moment, a golden spear composed of illusory light emerged from the void.

Penetrating the non-existent heart of the deer-headed statue - nailing her mechanical body to the wall!

Obviously what was damaged was just a machine, but it seemed like the machine's thinking was sealed...

When the sheath's light gun nailed the deer head statue, the sound of the deer head statue in Russell's ears disappeared instantly.

"...Is this your psychic power?"

"——No, this is the power of Holy Order."

Sheath whispered, taking off his blindfold: "The power of the Holy Order called 'anti-electron'..."

The thing under the blindfold is not a prosthetic eye, nor is it an injured eye of flesh and blood.

Rather, the halo of an angel.

A halo embedded in flesh and blood, like a VR goggle that is integrated with flesh and blood.

"I regret it, Russell."

The man said calmly.
