Chapter 614 Noah is watching you (Part )
In the TPC building, a strange figure, the one who has turned into the human Zero, is walking with heavy steps, step by step, in this super building that represents the hope of mankind on Earth.

Inside the TPC Far East Headquarters, a large screen constantly broadcasts the vision of the entire human race for the next era, which is inherited from the Cold War era of the previous era, the vision of the universe.

Zero did not realize how unique this scene was to humans.
In fact, among the countless Earths in the universe, the Earth civilization where TPC is located is also one of the very few human civilizations that still insists on space development and exploration plans in the 21st century.
He had no idea how magical and great it was for human beings to be able to keep their eyes on the universe.

The human civilization on Earth should have turned its attention back to the interior of the Earth after the initial cosmic craze. However, due to the existence of Sawai and the TPC he established, the enthusiasm of mankind for the universe was still retained after it cooled down.

Humans, no longer fanatical, choose to continue moving toward the depths of the universe in a more civilized way, exploring worlds that have not yet been touched by humans.

Zero looked at the ordinary TPC employees who walked by him. He could clearly sense that everyone who walked by him, when seeing the big screen depicting the universe, would involuntarily feel a sense of responsibility, expectation, and honor in the deepest part of their hearts.
He thought hard, but he couldn't fully understand this feeling of human beings.
He knew that he had belonged to this vast universe since the moment he was born, and he would never really understand why these humans were so excited about such an invisible and intangible thing.

Zero really wanted to remind these people that the universe is very dangerous. If humans now rashly enter the universe, it will be very dangerous. Death may become the most common thing in this danger.
But he knew that he had no reason to do so. Just like he had said before, every civilization should have the opportunity to choose. It was impossible for him to fully understand human thoughts, so he had no right to point fingers at humans and impose his own consciousness on them, because if he did that, he would be no different from Castor in the neighboring universe.

Continuing to walk in the TPC, Cero suddenly felt something different. He frowned and calmly analyzed the strange content sensed by his perception system. After a while, he realized that it seemed to be some unusual "humans".
There are humans with some superpowers who have turned into some kind of light. But there are humans who have not turned into Ultraman. There are also humans who have combined with some kind of soul. Zero doesn't know what department of TPC that is, but Castor and others know that it is the most "diverse" place in TPC.

The human superpower Kirino, the three astronauts who turned into light but whose souls were "saved" by the stone statues made by Masaki Keigo, and a group of new life forms after the police department and the Kirieloid people became one.

At first, everyone was still hiding it, but in this era of great development of the universe, now these people have their own departments and their own jobs.

Kirino and the witch were communicating with the darkness and Sophia, the astronauts who turned into light were conducting some cosmic research that they were originally unable to do, and those in the police department were using the power of the Kirieloids to carry out the most difficult tasks.
They were not excluded because of their uniqueness. On the contrary, because of their characteristics, they were exploited of all their value by big "capitalists" such as Sawai, Masaki Keigo or Castor.

Zero subconsciously walked in that direction. He wanted to see what was over there, but before he got close, he heard two voices in his mind.

A man named Kirino told him, 'No matter who you are, good or bad, think about it, once you get close to here, it will be difficult to leave! ',
Another person who claimed to be a witch said it more bluntly, 'Run! This is hell!!!'

The work there seemed to be very annoying. From the words they sent through telekinesis, Zero heard a very deep resentment, and it seemed to be a kind of resentment that made him somewhat familiar.
At first, Zero didn't know what that resentment was, he just felt that it was somewhat familiar.

But when Zero took a few steps forward and saw his reflection in front of a glass door, he was suddenly speechless, because he discovered what that resentment was.
From his unpleasant face through the glass door, he was reminded of the teasing and ironic name for this kind of resentment in human society - the resentment of workers.

Zero suddenly realized that during his last battle with Belia on Earth, when he possessed the body of the Earthling named Ren, he had felt this strong resentment that could almost pierce his heart countless times.

At that time, all his thoughts were on Belia's affairs and Xiao Lu, and he had never really experienced this feeling.

But at this moment, when he once again felt this kind of resentment that was almost like negative energy from the earthlings, he suddenly felt an unreal and bizarre illusion.

He was sure that behind this resentment, he also felt many other things, which were strength and motivation, a vision for the future, and even a hope.
This is really too outrageous. The resentment shown by the superpower person on Earth, the Earthling who calls herself a witch, and the alien, as well as the resentment shown by people in the past, are all very real. Zero feels that if such resentment appears in the dark universe, it will be enough to summon countless negative energy monsters in an instant.

To put it more extreme, if such resentment appeared in the Land of Light, then it is very likely that one after another, the people of the Land of Light would begin to move towards extremes and towards darkness.

However, the earthlings here seem to be able to find other things besides such resentment to comfort themselves and even heal themselves.

Zero felt that he seemed to understand humans, but the more he understood, the further he was from humans.

Is it really because of something like the universe that humans can burst out with such power?

He felt that this was wrong, because, to put it bluntly, the universe was just the universe. Zero had seen many, many things in the universe, and he did not think that everything in the universe would be better than on Earth.

He even had a dark feeling that if humans really began to enter the universe on a large scale in the future, they would most likely feel disappointed, because the universe was just like that and there was nothing special about it.

But Zero quickly realized that this was not the case. The fact that these people could find motivation to live beyond resentment had nothing to do with the so-called universe.
Even if there is no universe, these humans can still find other things to allow themselves to move forward step by step in this world.

It can be said that this is how human civilization has always developed. A little bit of "beauty" can heal the trauma caused by work.

For a moment, Zero felt a sense of despair. Even though he thought he knew the civilization best outside of the Kingdom of Light, he actually couldn't understand what this civilization was thinking.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Even if he, Zero, can't perceive the thoughts of other civilizations, Earth should be different for him.

After all, his father had lived on Earth, his uncles had lived on Earth, he had lived on Earth, and even Earth was considered by the Kingdom of Light to be the "past" of the Kingdom of Light.
But now, the fact is, when he realized that he could not really understand what other civilizations besides the Kingdom of Light were thinking, he suddenly discovered that in fact, this Kingdom of Light even included the Earth.

Then, an even more outrageous idea appeared in Zero's mind. Could it be that he really understood what other people in the Land of Light were thinking?
Zero tried hard to tell himself that he was a member of the Kingdom of Light, so of course he should understand what the people of the Kingdom of Light thought. You know, when the people of the Kingdom of Light communicated with each other, it was completely through spiritual connection, which was a way of communication without deception.
But from the deepest part of his heart, Zero understood another thing, that is, even if it was the people of the Land of Light, in fact, he could not really fully understand their thoughts.
In an instant, Zero felt a sense of despair and panic. He did not realize that in such a situation that he himself did not know, he felt the pain that human beings felt in the last century: other people are hell.

A sense of fear permeated Zero's mind. He felt as if he had discovered a very frightening fact. His persistence seemed meaningless. Not to mention civilization and civilization, it seemed that even a single person could not understand what another person was thinking.
The words that Castor had said to him not long ago once again came to his mind:
"In fact, not all civilizations have the right to speak out. This is not unfair. This is the most fundamental logic of the universe. Let alone different races, even we humans on Earth who are in the same 'civilization circle' will not listen to the voices of those barbaric and backward tribes in the African forests."

"It's not that we are unequal, but that their voices are actually worthless to the entire earth civilization."

"That's why I, in the universe next door, tried my best to reform and ensure that all civilizations have the right to survive, but never put even a little energy into the kind of thing you mentioned."

"Because... that actually has no meaning for the universe. The vast majority of civilizations you mentioned, with their vision and level of civilization, are simply not qualified to make decisions about the development of the universe.
This is not arrogance, nor is it condescending. This is the simplest logic in the entire universe, as simple as the law of the jungle."

Zero was a little dazed. He knew that if it was Casto, he would have understood it long ago. People can never fully understand each other.
But he didn't know whether Castor realized all this when he said these words. According to this logic, civilizations will never be able to understand each other.

And this is not even the same thing. The inability of civilizations to understand each other is not the same as what Castor said, that the voice of civilization is meaningless.
People cannot truly understand each other. People never know what another person is thinking. Even if they are both from the Land of Light, they can connect their consciousness worlds and communicate directly.
Under such circumstances, it is natural that civilizations cannot understand each other. Not to mention civilizations that are very different from each other, even two civilizations that develop in perfect sync will have huge deviations in communication due to their history, race, culture, and even trivial matters such as the weather and whether or not they have lunch.
And after that, his ideal was that every civilization had a chance to speak out.

If people cannot understand each other, and civilizations cannot understand each other, then is there any point in speaking out?

Even if we can make sounds, in this world where we cannot understand each other, who knows what this sound actually represents?
Even if we can really interpret the meaning behind this sound almost accurately, does it really make sense to do so?
Cero gritted his teeth. He felt that it was meaningful. Even if he couldn't understand it, even if what he said was useless, it should still be meaningful.

But, is this little bit of meaning enough for him to abandon everything he has in the Kingdom of Light and everything he has in the universe as Casto said?

A balance seemed to appear in Zero's mind.
On one side of the scale, the meaningless and incomprehensible voices from other civilizations outside the Kingdom of Light,
On the other side of the scale are his family and friends in the Kingdom of Light, his brothers and comrades in other universes, and everything that carries all his past memories.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a balanced scale.

Moreover, outside of this scale, there are some other chips that have not been put on, such as the importance of Zero as a warrior to the peace of the universe.

Maybe if he chooses to do nothing, he will be more valuable, Zero suddenly thought. After all, he is a super soldier. His contribution to the peace of the universe by destroying an enemy may far exceed all the voices that other civilizations in the universe can make.

Because he defeated the enemy and really contributed to the peace of the universe, while the voices of those civilizations seemed to be meaningless.
Cero understood that he was comforting himself, but he also understood that this did not seem unreasonable.
No one really asked him to do more, not even the civilizations he hoped to speak out for, not even the Kingdom of Light, not even Castor from the two universes, and not even the three Belias he had met, had ever thought of asking him to do more.

In fact, if he had just chosen to be an ordinary soldier and worked hard to prevent those civilizations from being interfered with by the outside world, he would have been worthy of praise, wouldn't he?
Zero felt like he was being torn apart. Half of his soul seemed to have been convinced by himself, but the other half felt something bad deep in his heart. He didn't think it was selfishness, deception, evasion, arrogance or partiality. He felt that it hadn't reached that point yet, and that what appeared in his soul was not such a bad thing.
But that doesn't seem to be such a good thing.
Zero felt that although he was not selfish, he was not so selfless; he was not so partial, but he had made a conclusion about other civilizations; he was not so evasive, but he was not as persistent as he imagined; he was not so arrogant, but he did not do what he thought he could do, that is, to empathize with every civilization.

Suddenly, Cerro raised his head and found that he didn't know where he was. He looked around and suddenly felt a familiar breath and a very warm power.

Frowning, Zero realized what kind of power this was. It was the power of light that he was most familiar with.

This seemed to be a laboratory, and a laboratory for studying light particles. This could explain why he came here, because what was emanating from here was something he was most familiar with.
Zero looked around and didn't see anyone around. It was obvious that the security level here should be very high. Except for people like him who were "special" and didn't know how they "walked" here, other people should have been intercepted at some checkpoints before approaching here.

This was not something difficult to understand, because Zero could feel that the research here was very 'advanced' and 'dangerous'.
This cannot be a place that everyone can visit. Just like the Space Science and Technology Bureau of the Kingdom of Light, some laboratories have very high security levels and other people from the Kingdom of Light cannot enter or touch them at will.

After thinking about it, Zero turned around and prepared to leave, but at this moment, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and the person who made Zero feel familiar for a short time walked out, and then... snorted coldly.

"Huh, I was wondering who was attracted to me. Turns out it's you, the greatest super warrior from the Kingdom of Light." Masaki Keigo's mouth was still as foul as before. He was wearing a white coat and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he hadn't left the laboratory for a long time, and he didn't look very energetic.

"The Kingdom of Light is great, but human civilization is also great." Zero said lightly, "I can't understand your greatness, just like it's hard for you to understand our greatness."

Masaki Keigo, who was originally full of aggression, was suddenly stunned. He frowned and snorted coldly, but did not continue to taunt. Instead, he casually pulled his hair with his hands, "Tsk, boring, is this the proudest man in the Kingdom of Light? What a pity, I wanted to try to see how long you can stay high and mighty."

"Are you doing experiments related to light particles?" asked Cerro.

"Of course, unlike you, I activated the light genetic factor in my body by myself. However, this is not universal. This genetic factor is invisible in the bodies of all but a very small number of people, and it is difficult to be detected. I hope to find one." Masaki Keigo stopped speaking halfway and shook his head.

"Do you want to activate the light genetic genes of all the people on Earth? Make them all turn into light?" asked Zero.

"Tsk, you won't understand even if I tell you, and humans are not prepared. Light... is not so perfect." Masaki Keigo sighed rarely, then looked at Zero, "Why did you come to us? Is the barrier between universes so casual? Any one can travel through the universe and time?"

Cero nodded, "I have some very mysterious powers."

"Humph! There's also some on Castor and Tregear, I know that." Masaki Keigo said indifferently, "But I don't care about that, I only believe in myself."

Zero looked at Masaki Keigo's confident look, was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Do you think every civilization in the universe should be equal and have a chance to speak out when developing?"

Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, and the words of ridicule were on the tip of his tongue, but the next second, he bit his teeth and swallowed the words back, and then said, "If it were anyone else, I would curse at them and turn around and leave, but if it was you psychopaths from the Kingdom of Light, I can only say that I can't do it, and I don't understand it, but I want to believe that you really think so."

"Do you really believe me? Why?" Zero's tone was a little complicated, "How do you know what I really think?"

"Humph! Of course I know that for an idiot like you."

"Why?" Zero asked in confusion, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Why?" Masaki Keigo looked at Zero impatiently, "Why? Why? No reason!"

Zero was not repelled by Masaki Keigo's rogue words, but continued to look at Masaki Keigo. Finally, Masaki Keigo, who was tired of being looked at, said unhappily,
"Well, although I don't know what ridiculous idea you have come up with, I guess it's that guy Castor who is causing trouble again, but I can tell you why!"

"You can understand it as, I don't believe you, nor do I know what you are thinking, I just believe in me who believes in you!"

Masaki Keigo said irritably, "In fact! I don't care what you think, not only you from the Kingdom of Light, but also Castor and old man Ze. As long as you don't interfere with me, what you think is not that important to me.
I have lived for so many years and never cared about what others think. I only believe in myself. "

"Now! I think if you want equality for the whole universe, then you want equality for the whole universe. As for whether you really want equality for the whole universe, it's none of my business!"

Zero opened his mouth. He felt that Masaki Keigo was unreasonable. How could anyone be like this? He didn't care what others thought from the beginning to the end, and only cared about his own thoughts.

But the next second, he felt that this was not the case. It seemed that Masaki Keigo did not care about others, but
Zero couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt that this irritable earthling in front of him was really persistent.

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Masaki Keigo."

"Hmph! I don't know what you know, but if you thank me, I'll take it. Wait, where are you going?" Masaki Keigo looked at Zero who turned and ran away speechlessly. After hesitating for a moment, he shouted, "Don't get too close to Castor, you fool. He is very despicable and you can't beat him!"

Zero's footsteps paused for a moment, but soon he started running again. Masaki Keigo scratched his messy hair and shook his head, "Anyway, I have advised you. If that guy Castor wants to cheat you later, it's none of my business."

At the same time, Castor, who had ordered takeout and was about to eat, saw Zero who turned into light and came to him, and asked in a strange way, "What? Do you want me to treat you to a meal?"

"I figured it out." Zero said to Castor, "Please tell me how to become the kind of existence you mentioned that transcends my current state of life."

Castor silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Are you sure? Don't you think this is actually meaningless? For those meaningless voices, you have to give up your past, give up your past friends and family, give up your identity as a citizen of the Land of Light, give up everything."

"No!" Zero shook his head and said seriously, "It's not meaningless, and I haven't given up everything."

"I think the voices of those civilizations are meaningful, so they are meaningful, even if they themselves, even if the whole universe thinks their voices are useless, but for me, this kind of fairness is meaningful."

"I haven't given up my past either, because the past has already happened. I can't give it up no matter what I become. Even if I die, my past is the past. It won't change because of my present."

"I have not given up on my family and friends, brothers and comrades, because just now I suddenly realized something."

"As long as I feel in my heart that they are my family, friends, comrades and brothers, then it doesn't really matter what they think, right?"

At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on Zero's face. He straightened his chest, proudly pointed to the position of his heart to Casto, and then said loudly,
"No matter if it's the evolution of life or something else, if you want me, Zero, to forget these emotions, it's still 20,000. No, 200 million years too early!"

The moment Zero finished speaking, Castor directly put the Evolution Trustee into his hands.

Zero felt a stronger, hotter heartbeat than ever before, which transcended civilization and race, and was transmitted from the Evolution Truster in his hand to his soul.

Castor looked at Zero with a smile, "How to become a life form that has gone a step further? You shouldn't ask me, because Noah has been watching you."
