Chapter 553 Persecution
Through the screen, you can feel the depression and heaviness emanating from Roland. Shure only used a few words to drive him to a dead end.

There is no way out, a decision must be made immediately, a choice must be made.

On the one hand, he betrayed the kindness of the gods, betrayed the determination that he and his tribe had made, and allowed the god who had redeemed his entire tribe to sleep forever. He also wanted to kill this creature who had exchanged memories with his brother. This was tantamount to another symbolic betrayal. Brother, he even killed him with his own hands.Although metal lifeforms have metal bodies, they also have rich emotions and their own culture and morals. They know what is right and wrong. Roland really cannot do this kind of thing. If he does, he may not be able to do it for the rest of his life. Peace of mind.

However, the other side is the life of the entire clan, the important task entrusted by my brother, and the continuation of the metal civilization. Choosing the other side means giving up the lives of the remaining 200 people in the clan and letting the glorious civilization Perish in the destroyed space.

The reality is so cruel and there is no reason to explain it. Roland feels that every part of his body is heating up. This is a manifestation of fear in a metal life form. He is now in extreme fear.I have been timid and afraid of making decisions all my life, especially in the past few thousand years. After making a big mistake, I have been evading responsibility and would rather spend the rest of my life in confusion. However, now there is nowhere to escape. Two choices are in front of me. Every choice makes people desperate, so desperate that people dare not look directly at it.

I don't want to choose, I dare not choose, why do you force me, what do you want to do, no, maybe... I can still escape, if I...

"Do you think it doesn't matter if you don't choose?" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Shuer's mouth, and his voice was full of malice. "Stop dreaming. Since we came to find the gods, we naturally have ways to wake her up, but our method will It's very troublesome and will have a certain impact on the gods, so we don't really want to use it. Oh, if you really don't make a choice, then we will use our own methods. In this way, you will not only hurt the gods, but you will also be unable to Keeping your own race means losing both ways. I don’t think you are stupid enough to do this, so I haven’t even mentioned this third option. However, if you want to choose this path, you can, hehehe , I won’t mind.”

"Why are you forcing me like this?" Roland said weakly, "Why are you asking me to make these choices?"

"Naive and stupid, your identity is doomed for you to bear these responsibilities, unless you give up your own life, you will never be able to escape, you have been stupid for half your life, and you want to continue to be stupid?" Xiu Er showed no mercy He sneered and said, "Because I know your brother, I gave you a choice, I told you everything, and then gave you the choice to kill us, idiot, if you think it's any creature, I'll kill him Do you have a chance to kill me? Don’t be kidding, if it was a stranger, I would have coaxed them to wake up the gods for me, and I didn’t give him a chance to choose. Hehehehe, how about it, am I being nice to you? No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

I really appreciate you.The metal lifeform has no teeth or mouth, and cannot gnash its teeth. His ribbon is almost twisted into a knot. This is a manifestation of their clan's anger and excitement. Looking at Shuer's malicious smile, he is now mobilizing his weapon. This face was blown into pieces. However, is this really good? Will it...

"Still having naive illusions? Hahaha, I understand, I understand, you are actually very smart. As I said just now, you will always think a lot. For example, right now you are thinking, what am I saying? To test you? Could it be that even if you awaken the gods, the gods will not just abandon you? Are what I said just an exaggeration and a test?" Xiuer said with a sinister smile, "I like innocent people. , I like it so much, especially the expressions on their faces when their fantasies are shattered. Hahaha, if you really have such unrealistic thoughts, I can tell you that you are dreaming."

"Right here, I can point my finger in the void and swear by any name that as long as you wake up Master Anika, then my Lord will definitely go back with us and will not care about you anymore. From then on, whether you are dead or alive , The survival or destruction of civilization has nothing to do with my Lord. Hahahaha, are you very disappointed? You should think about it, if your brother knew that you were still like this useless person, he would be even more disappointed than you are now."

Roland was completely silent, and even the buzzing sound stopped. The golden light on his head dimmed to the point of being vague, and his entire body became like a sculpture.

"Want to hear my advice?" Xiure's voice slowed down again, and his tone became softer. "Anyway, I am also your brother's friend, and I am still willing to give you some advice."

"Actually, no matter which side you choose, it makes sense, and no one has the right to question your decision. You see, killing us, or further, killing the gods, although it betrays the salvation and trust of the gods, you are worthy of it. For your own race, you can continue the civilization, which means betraying the gods for the survival of the race. On the other hand, choosing to awaken Lord Anika means betraying the race for the sake of the gods and morality. Oh, you have to betray one side no matter what. What should I do? Do you think it will be harder to choose after listening to my words? Hahaha, that’s right, that’s my purpose.”

"I'm going too far, right? Do you know why I'm going so far? Why do I have to torture you like this? Because I'm very angry, very, very angry, angry for Master Anika, and angry for your brother, so I could have let you You were so ignorant that you didn’t know what it meant to awaken the gods until the end, and you just walked towards destruction passively. But since you made me angry, I won’t make it easy for you. I would rather put my own life on the line than let you endure torture. , Aren't you afraid of responsibility and choice? Very good, then I will let you choose, and let you choose between the two most difficult options of betrayal and destruction."

"Okay, I've finished my words. From now on, I'll give you 3 minutes to think about it. You can choose. You don't need to tell me the answer you chose. Just let me know through action. If you haven't chosen it after 3 minutes. , then I will default to the third option for you, which means betraying the race and the gods at the same time." Shuer took out the timer from his pocket and glanced at it pretendingly, "Haha, I'm looking forward to what you will choose. , in fact, I kind of hope you will choose the third option, so that I can see how timid and fearful a person can be, okay, no more nonsense, the timer starts now."

Roland remained silent. I don't know if he heard Xiu Er's words just now, and he didn't seem to want to make a choice.But Shuer was not in a hurry, with a leisurely look on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all. It seemed that the person who might be attacked or even killed was not him at all. Moria on the side no longer tried to change her mind. It turned into a tree ball, but wandered around the building full of curiosity, knocking everywhere, and almost demolished the house. "I need a little more time." After 1 minute, Roland's suppressed voice sounded again, "3 minutes is too short."

"Impossible, only 3 minutes." Shuer refused without hesitation, "There is no room for negotiation."

"But this is not a matter that concerns me alone. This matter concerns all of our family, and I need to seek their opinions."

"The problem is, you are not representing yourself, you are also representing everyone in your race. If your race still has tens of billions or hundreds of billions of people, do you still want to seek their opinions one by one? Don't be stupid, don't Forget that you are the leader of your clan." Shuer looked at him mockingly, "You don't know the responsibility of a leader until now, do you? You bear the fate of everyone, huh, whether in a practical sense or In a symbolic sense, you are carrying all the remnants of your clan. Well, I will give you some preferential treatment. These two sentences will not give you a timer, which is equivalent to giving you an extra 20 seconds."

"However, there are people of other races on the planet, and they do not regard me as their leader. I am not qualified to make decisions for them."

"The gods are sleeping for you, and the planet is also prepared for you. Therefore, only you are qualified to be responsible for this planet. All you need to do is to make a decision and then implement it. People of other races are just you. They are just some tenants brought in by the planet. Will the house be demolished? When will it be the tenants' turn to make a decision?" Shuer sneered and said, "This is not a reason for you to delay, Roland, you are wasting your time now, so this A few words, I still have to time it.”

"Stop the timer for a moment. I have some questions that I need to ask clearly." Roland hung the ribbon feebly, his voice almost like a groan. "Even if I am given a choice, I should be allowed to understand the situation first."

"However, sometimes, there is no chance to understand the situation, so we can only choose blindly. But forget it, who let me be your brother's friend, I will give you some preferential treatment, what do you want to ask, tell me, I can let you ask again I have three questions.”

"If the gods are awakened, how long do we have to prepare?"

"How do I know? This is not under my control. It depends on how the gods decide. Based on my understanding of my Lord, my Lord will probably return to Parvatiga within a few days. In other words, the most you can do is I only have a few days to prepare, hehehe.”

"After awakening the gods, will our family really perish?"

"It's another question I can't answer. I won't predict it." Shuer shrugged, looking even more irritated. "I'm just saying that after you wake up, my lord will never care about your life or death again. Maybe you will be lucky." Okay, I have encountered other opportunities, but this chance is pitifully low, one in tens of billions? Or one in hundreds of billions?"

"Then the third question is, if the gods are not awakened, will she really sleep like this forever?"

"I can tell you responsibly, it will be, unless her other half is found from Parvatiga. However, once we die, it is impossible to find her half, so sleeping forever will become an inevitable result. , which means that you have a safe home forever."

"Okay, I understand and I've decided."
