Chapter 554 Choice
"You are right, this is my responsibility. As long as I am alive, it is impossible to get rid of this responsibility. There is no use in escaping. There will be no result except disappointing everyone and hurting everyone. So I have to make a decision." Roland floated back to the screen, and the golden light on his head lit up again, "You have been forcing me to make a decision, and now as you wish, I have decided."

"I should kill you. My brother has given me the responsibility of rebuilding civilization and continuing the race. In order to be responsible for the whole race, I must kill you. Otherwise, you will destroy everything."

"Oh, yes, this is also a choice." Xiuer was not afraid at all, but said leisurely and contentedly, "For the continuation of the race, betraying the gods who saved you, as long as you are prepared to make the whole family bear the crime of betraying the gods. Just be mentally prepared. The question is, haha, do you dare? If you dare, why don't you wait until now?"

"No, we didn't betray the gods, maybe this is the original intention of the gods." This time Roland didn't flinch, or even get excited, and said very calmly, "The gods saved us, provided us with a safe place to live, and gave carbon-based creatures Providing food and water is not for us to find a place to die quietly, she is for us to live, and then find a solution to the problem, and everyone escapes from this space of destruction together."

"In fact, the solution has been there for a long time, and the opportunity always exists. However, because of my cowardice, I missed everything. The gods have already prepared a large enough planet and rich enough products. As long as we can expand the population of the planet , can provide more beliefs for the gods, and let her wake up energetically from a deep sleep. Unfortunately, because of me, those races that may rapidly expand the population base do not even dare to expand their gene pools, so they just disappear. In history. Over the past 1000 years, there have been too many opportunities. Unfortunately, I have not seized them once. You are right, I have let everyone down."

"Therefore, kill you, and then make changes, expand the gene pool one by one, reproduce those lost races, and let the body of the god become the planet that carries the source of her faith, providing her with an endless stream of faith, so that there is no need Wake up, the gods will also wake up, I think this is what she wants us to do, and only by realizing all this, she will not be disappointed."

"So, killing you and preventing you from awakening the gods is not a betrayal at all, but to fulfill the original expectations of the gods. I think this is loyalty to her."

"Hehehehe, although what you said is full of loopholes, it can be considered a reasonable argument. At least it can barely be consistent without considering the probability of success and the time cost of sleeping for hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, these are meaningless. I said, you don't need to tell me, you just have to choose." Shuer shook his finger, "You are the one who makes the choice, and you are the one who bears the consequences. Everything has nothing to do with me. "

"I know, so I've made my choice."

"You don't call it choosing. You call it imagining that you have already chosen. Choice is made with actions, not words. Well, you don't have words. In short, take action." Shuer sneered disdainfully, "Since You have chosen to kill us and use your own understanding to repay the gods. Then take action. We will stand here and will not defend or evade. Come on, let us see your determination."

"No, I'm not going to attack you, on the contrary, I'm going to help you wake up the gods."

"Oh, is this your choice?" Xiure raised his eyebrows and returned to the screen with interest. "Since you have found a reason to convince yourself, why did you make the opposite choice?"

"Because we owe it to the gods." The voice simulated by Roland was surprisingly calm, "If you didn't come, I relied on my own courage, and the reason just now was enough to convince all of us to change our negative attitude. Try to break the predicament and let the gods wake up from their deep sleep. But it is different now, now you are here." "You can help the gods, you can bring her back to a safe world, if we stop you at this time, the nature will be completely changed If it changes, it becomes just for our own survival, leaving the gods who saved us on the brink of danger and death, and forcing the gods to continue to support us deserters who have no courage. Although we are cowardly, at least there is a limit. When we fled the battle, we I’ve already given up the bottom line once, and I can’t give up a second time.”

"Ha, interesting, really interesting." Shuer looked at Roland sideways and sneered, "Think about your brother, are you really worthy of his trust?"

"I'm sorry, I believe that even my brother would choose this way. It is our mistake to waste time, it is our mistake to be cowardly, it is our mistake to miss opportunities, we have failed everyone's hopes, we have committed These crimes, then it is time for us to atone for them.”

"Even if you have to use the lives of your entire clan to atone for your sins?"

"Yes. If I kill you and forcibly keep the gods, then even if civilization continues, each of our members will bear original sin in the future, and no one can forgive ourselves. We will always be electrons parasitic on the gods. They are just insects. Instead of doing this, it is better to muster up the courage to face our mistakes, just like my brothers and others when they rushed into the destruction space, and fight the destruction space head-on. Surviving is our victory. If we cannot survive, we can use everything we have. Human life washes away the shame of the past."

"It's very nice to say it. I'm almost moved. The problem is, it doesn't make any sense to move me, Roland." Shuer said sarcastically, "I said, no matter what you choose, I have no objection. I just I just want to see you being tortured by what you fear most. There is no need for you to tell me this. Haha, by saying so much, you are actually convincing yourself, aren't you? The reasons are not important at all. You I just want to convince myself that you are right, and I want to be more courageous. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any effect. Tsk tsk, you are still the one who abandoned your tribe and ran away, and you are still the one who shrank in the body of a god or something. You dare not do it, you can only tremble in fear, otherwise, you should have already taken action, and there is no need to talk so much nonsense."

"I'm so disappointed in you, Roland. At this point, you're still so cowardly." Shuer took out the timer and looked at it. "There are still 18 seconds left. You don't have to be afraid of taking responsibility anymore. That's fine. , maybe this is the result you want, your brother and Master Anika... tsk tsk..."

With a "buzz" sound, the light on the screen suddenly went out, and Roland's image disappeared from the screen. However, Shuer remained unmoved. He just squinted his eyes and stared at the timer in his hand, silently reading the seconds.

"Boom", in the last three seconds, the room where Xiure was sitting suddenly shook, which was even more violent than an earthquake. Along with the shaking and roar, there was the sound of metal friction and twisting.

　I have a social event in the evening and can't make it out, so let's do this for now.
