in the edge

Chapter 558 The Right Way
When the tiger claw pierced his chest, Fire Deity had not yet realized what was happening, but when he was cut into pieces, he already understood the whole story.

After all, there was sand passing through his sight.

"Sand... it's that desert!"

In just a moment, the Fire Star Lord realized the problem. After all, it was impossible for the broken Black Tiger Star Lord to escape from the desert in such a short time - especially when he knew nothing, which was absolutely impossible.

Unless this Black Tiger Star Lord found some more powerful power in that desert.

"I..."

Thinking of this, the Lord of Fire couldn't help but feel like spurting blood. He never thought that a piece of desert he just randomly found could contain such a dangerous thing - in a sense, it could even be said that he was simply unlucky. If he had been able to throw it somewhere else at that time, he wouldn't have been so passive.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

If he could throw it somewhere else...

"What's the point of changing places?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the Lord of Fire.

"Even if you change places, I can still live in his body... After all, everywhere you can go are my remains, and everything you can see is just my decaying body..."

"……who?"

The Fire Star Lord, with only his head left, suddenly frowned.

It was more like the voice came from his heart rather than his ears, and the tone sounded a bit too loud - he actually opened his mouth and said that the whole world was filled with his remains. Who did he think he was?
"You killed me and sealed me in the so-called earth, and now you have forgotten me and are asking who I am?"

The voice began to laugh. It started as a simple sneer, but soon it turned into a wild laugh.

"You actually asked me who I am? Don't you know who I am?"

"You are……"

The Fire Star Lord's expression first turned angry, then stiff, and then to disbelief.

And then, there was a chill.

If just now he just thought that this might be some kind of secret existence, then now he has realized that this existence seems to be a little too secretive - especially when the other party said it himself that it was sealed on the ground, he has already thought of a result that is absolutely impossible and should not appear.

"Weren't you all killed?"

Thinking of that result, the Fire Star Lord was greatly shocked.

"Weren't you crazy people killed a long time ago? How could you still..."

"Kill them all? Madmen? Is this how you record us?"

There was a hint of teasing in the voice.

"It seems that you didn't experience that battle yourself, so you don't understand anything..."

"At least I know you are all a bunch of lunatics."

The Fire Star Lord, with only his head left, clenched his teeth.

"You brought chaos..."

"We are crazy and we bring chaos?"

The voice spoke again.

"Who told you that? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I..."

The Fire Star Lord instinctively wanted to say something in rebuttal.

But for a moment, his voice was stuck.

Although he did want to refute it vigorously, his damn comprehension ability had already made him understand what the voice meant - after all, he did not go to space that early, and he did not witness the chaotic war with his own eyes. He heard all the information about the war, the collision of the two galaxies, from other powerful people.

In other words, he was not an eyewitness.

What could he know?
"This kind of thing is actually very easy to do, isn't it?"

The voice spoke again, whispering in his ear like a demon.

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is something that even ordinary people understand. The victor can write himself as extremely glorious, no matter how despicable their means are. No matter how many things the loser has done, as long as he fails, he must be trampled into the ground... His hands must be chopped off, his tongue must be pulled out, he must be torn into pieces, and then stepped on by ten thousand feet."

Having said this, the voice paused.

"Ah, just like you are now, can you feel it?"

"..."

The Fire Star Lord was speechless.

After all, although he was not torn into pieces at the moment, he had been cut into pieces.

Although he had tried very hard to resist the influence of the voice, his current situation was not fake. Following the description of the voice, he also saw the Black Tiger Star Lord wrapped in an old robe - the current situation was exactly the "winner takes it all" situation mentioned by the voice. Since he had been ambushed and fell to the ground, only hellish torture was waiting for him.

Cut off his hands so that he can't record, pull out his tongue so that he can't speak, everything he had before has become a thing of the past, just because the Black Tiger Star Lord is about to put the final sentence on him.

At this moment, he had personally felt the great terror described in that voice.

"Old man, old man..."

Using up his last bit of strength, the Fire Star Lord spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I will never go along with you!"

"In cahoots with the others?"

The voice sneered again.

"What is dirty? Are we dirty? Who told you that? Who did you listen to? If even the idea of ​​everyone being like a dragon is dirty, then what are you? What is your so-called strength, your so-called position as a star lord?"

"This old man is constantly striving to improve himself!"

The Fire Star God cursed loudly.

"Everything I have is earned through my hard work! I have never regretted anything along the way! How can you villains…"

"Yes, you tried your best, and you have no regrets."

The voice sank.

"So, who isn't?"

"...?"

The Fire Star Lord was stunned by the question.

But the voice didn't mean to stop, and continued speaking.

"Who doesn't strive for self-improvement? Who doesn't earn everything by their own ability? If you think that the idea of ​​everyone being like a dragon is dirty and chaotic, then who are you? What are you?"

"This old man..." Fire Star Lord subconsciously followed this line of thought and felt a splitting headache.

After all, it seemed to be true. Even the Black Tiger Star Lord who was chopped into pieces by him flew to the sky with his own ability. Who didn't get everything with his own ability? Who didn't risk his life to transcend life and death?

"But you brought chaos..."

The Fire Star Lord tried hard to maintain his last bit of sanity.

"You are the source of trouble..."

"We brought the chaos? You think we brought the chaos?"

The voice sounded like it had heard something funny, and it laughed even more wildly.

"Use your brain and think carefully. Did we really bring about the chaos? Yes, we are gone now, but has the chaos disappeared? You think that the emergence of the powerful should be suppressed, and you think that the so-called order should be maintained. Then what? Where is the order you are talking about?"

"Order is..."

The Fire Star Lord's mind was in a mess.

Where is the order? Huo De Xingjun couldn't really explain it for a while. He wanted to say that order has always been there. No matter how chaotic the world is, there is at least some basic order in it - but does this so-called order really exist?
Or, has the chaos really disappeared?
“Don’t believe those so-called slogans, and don’t just follow the crowd. Trust your heart and the truth you feel.”

The voice lingered in the ears of the Lord of Fire.

"You actually know the answer, don't you? You actually know the answer..."

"..."

The Fire Star Lord fell into complete silence.

Indeed, he actually knew the answer.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he did know the answer. Especially under the guidance of that voice, the answer was already extremely clear - in that melee, the collision of the two galaxies, the mutual attacks between the two powerful factions, perhaps there had never been any justice or evil.

Whether it is the so-called maintaining order, controlling the amount of powerful output, or the so-called maintaining the status quo, making everyone in this world like a dragon... there is actually no difference between the two factions, nor is there any debate between good and evil.

It's just the most ordinary winners and losers, that's all.

And now, Kou was not dead, but came back again. He could feel the hatred hidden in this voice, he could feel the hatred in the other party's words, the hatred for failure, it was simply...

"You think I am doing this out of hatred, which only shows that you don't know me well enough, don't know this idea well enough, and don't know this world well enough."

Just when the Fire Star Lord was thinking of this, the voice suddenly sighed.

"The winner takes it all, that's your understanding, right? From a mortal's perspective, there really is nothing wrong with that... But is there a possibility that you and I are not mortals?"

"……what do you want to say?"

A bad premonition arose in the heart of the Lord of Fire.

"Not a mortal, so what?"

"Since you and I are not mortals, you should understand that I am right."

The voice spoke again.

"Since you are not a mortal, you should understand that everyone is like a dragon not because of me, and it has never been because of anyone. This was the reality at that time, and even now... Even if you hadn't obtained a more advanced method, could you fly to the sky? What qualifications do you have to live forever?"

"..."

The Fire Star Lord fell silent.

There was already a hint of struggle on his face.

"See, you can actually understand that, can't you?"

The voice continued.

"You can actually figure it out, but you just don't want to figure it out... You think those so-called star gods in the sky are your friends, so you naturally have to uphold their rules and protect their interests. No matter how strange or unreasonable the rules are, you have never thought about it, or you don't need to think about it..."

"enough!"

The Fire Star Lord suddenly shouted loudly.

"Stop talking! Come here if you want to kill me!"

"Why do you want to kill and chop me up?"

The voice sighed.

"I won't kill you, nor will I cut you up. After all, death is the biggest waste... We all want to live, don't we? We all want to survive, don't we? In order to survive, our will even surpasses death itself. So how can you die here for no reason?"

Along with these words, the originally broken body of the Lord of Fire was gradually pieced together.

The one who completed the patchwork was the Black Tiger Star Lord. Although there was a hint of reluctance on the half-broken face, the Black Tiger Star Lord still did it - this also made the Fire Deity Star Lord even more confused for a moment. First he launched a sneak attack and cut him into pieces, and then pieced his body together and repaired it. What was the Black Tiger Star Lord trying to do?
"Revenge has been taken."

As if sensing Fire Star Lord's doubts, Black Tiger Star Lord also sighed.

"I've already taken my revenge. You attacked me, and I attacked you. You cut me into pieces, and I cut you into pieces. We're even now... What do you mean by looking at me like that? What else can I do to you? I can't kill you, and I can't take your life."

"..."

It seems that this is really the case.

The powerful ones all have various means of resurrection. It is difficult for them to completely kill the other party. Even if they have reached the point of bloodshed, the most they can do is seal the other party and slowly wait for the other party's will to be completely worn out and overtaken by the will of death - even then it is not the end, they still have to ensure that the other party will not be called back from long sleep by some strange means after death.

In other words, the fight between powerful people is meaningless and can even be regarded as a waste of time.

"Besides, I already know that you and I are on the same path."

The Black Tiger Star Lord spoke earnestly.

"You have made it to heaven through your own efforts, and so have I. We have both achieved everything we have today through our own abilities. We should communicate more instead."

"I..."

The Fire Star Lord, who had been pieced together, opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Even if he could kill the Black Tiger Star Lord again, what would that do?
Even if he could kill the Black Tiger Star Lord, what would that do?

The Black Tiger Star Lord will still come back to life, and nothing will change. After all, they will all survive, and they all have a strong will that transcends life and death.

They are really the same kind.

In a sense, as the saying goes, everyone is like a dragon, the two of them are two dragons that have stood out.

"So, is it really wrong for everyone to be like a dragon?"

The voice rang out again.

“Did we really cause the so-called chaos?”

"I think you should have the answer in your heart now."
