Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 54: Talking Knife

"If starting a war is a sin, and if trampling on life is evil, then your former church has launched wars in the name of angels countless times in history, and they have also killed countless lives... Why do you still boast about yourselves for thousands of years? For justice?”

"Oh, let me think about it, could it be because those wars ended with the victory of the church and angelic faith, so those innocent souls who were killed by justice in history should naturally become evil, right?"

"So, wake up, angel. There is no absolute justice and evil in the world. They are just fictitious concepts. If you really think you are fighting for justice, then why don't you fight for thousands of years of history? Those countless wronged souls who were persecuted by your righteous church, how about shouting for justice and bringing justice to their lives?"

"Is it because you can't see those innocent souls that they don't exist? Or you simply can't see the history... Or maybe you don't want to see their existence at all?"

"If you really want to enforce justice, then the moment you become an angel, you should use the flaming sword that an angel can wield to destroy your church that should have been swept into the trash can of history long ago. Well, if you could travel through time and space, you should go back to the past, starting from the earliest civilization period, and fight for thousands of years!"

"But have you ever done that, or have you ever thought about doing that? Angel, the word justice is not a middle school slogan that children shout casually. If you don't truly understand the weight behind it, , what qualifications do you have to go around and claim that you can represent the so-called justice?"

While Lu Yuan was speaking, dozens of virtual holographic projectors flew out from the surrounding area, automatically displaying a large amount of the dark history of the church in the past in front of Karina.

Lu Yuan's heart-wrenching words made Karina's expression change again and again. Those pictures also touched her nerves, and her brain suddenly went blank.

She had never thought about what the other party said and what he showed her, and she had never even been exposed to it.

She used to be the white bishop of the Church of Angels, then she was an angel candidate, and now she is an angel again.

Although her fate seemed to have twists and turns, overall, it was smooth sailing and she rose steadily.

Because her status was high enough, although she had always had sympathy for the people at the bottom, she was still unable to see the hard life of the real people on Aiur.

Kalina knew very little about the dark history of the Angel Church in the past. Even if she occasionally heard others talk about it, she would only read it as a story.

Now that the church has been destroyed and she, as an angel, has been captured by the company, she has truly felt how cold reality is.

But in front of her, Lu Yuan gradually tore away the fig leaf beneath the glossy surface of the church in the past. The real darkness, like the bloody reality, carved a scar in her heart.

Karina was stunned for a while. At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten the pain in her body, and stared at the bloody and terrifying scenes in a daze.

After the company captured the Western Continent, it confiscated all the assets and secrets of the Angel Church, so the scenes displayed in front of her were absolutely true and credible.

Even if Kalina could refute that Lu Yuan's things were fake and were fabricated by the company to deceive her, her self-proven heart would never allow herself to do this.

So she fell silent.

Even though she was silent, she did not waver in her faith.

She still believes that she represents justice, but now she is no longer able to label Gray Goo Company as evil, and she is no longer qualified to judge the other party by shouting and clamoring.

As Lu Yuan said, the hostility between her and the company is not at all the so-called opposition between justice and evil.

Rather, it is a confrontation between camps and personal positions.

But in this way, the lives lost because of the company in those wars...

No, war always kills people.

This has nothing to do with justice.

If we have to throw justice into the mud of war and discuss who is right and who is wrong, it will only make "justice" more tarnished.

Because war is like this, no matter how beautiful things are involved, they will become hateful and horrific. No one is spared, and justice is no exception.

Therefore, having to argue about who is right and who is wrong, who is righteous and who is evil, is like trying to find gold in a manure pit or dirt in a pile of gold. In the end, when gold and dirt fight, both sides will end up fighting. All covered in shit.

No matter how shiny gold is, it will make people feel sick if it is stained with dirt.

After being awakened, Karina's eyes became much clearer.

When she reviewed the war between the company and the superpowers, she actually saw some of the true nature of reality.

If we must say that the Gray Goo Company that initiated the war was absolutely wrong, could it be that the superpowers who seemed to be weak in the war were absolutely right?

When standing in a camp or a position, Kalina regards many officials of those superpowers as allies of the church. Therefore, she will be inclined towards them in attitude and objectivity and tolerate many of their actions.

But when she regained consciousness and looked back, she found...

There is certainly something to be said for the Gray Goo Company.

Aren’t those so-called superpowers, their governments and most of their officials, even more damnable?Faced with the company's omnic troops, they already know that even the government armies of various countries combined are simply unable to resist the company's invasion. In this situation where they know they are bound to fail, they still have billions of people armed with them. innocent people, bewitch them, guide them, and let them go to the battlefield to use their own flesh and blood to resist the company's mechanical torrent...

Will those innocent people be massacred after being ruled by companies?

From the beginning to the end, the company only carried out collective liquidation of those government personnel. Did it massacre people for no reason?
If those people were not issued weapons and sent to the battlefield, would there be such tragic casualties?

The Gray Goo Company is indeed the executioner, but it is the superpower governments and the self-proclaimed righteous churches that really push those innocent people to death.

Thinking of this, Karina was deeply hurt in her heart.

Because I don't know how many people died in the company because they followed her call as a former angel candidate.

She is paranoid because of her so-called beliefs, so the justice she has always represented is humiliated...

At this moment, the word "justice" was as hot as a brand on Kalina's body. Her face could not help but turn pale, and her head hung down a little.

Professor Eureka was amazed by her appearance and quickly began to collect and record all the relevant data about Kalena at this moment.

Victor was greatly shocked when he saw this, and then he showed no humility.

Sometimes the right words are better than a sharp knife.

Lu Yuan's words reversed the relationship between the company and Kalina, which was like life and death enemies, and made it possible for both parties to relax.

"Looking at you, you seem to feel guilty because of the innocent people who were bewitched by the church and went to the battlefield to fight against the company, but were massacred?" Lu Yuan looked at Karina's expression and attitude. , said teasingly.

"Hmph...it has nothing to do with you."

Karina gritted her teeth and said, her eyes flickering. The shame and self-blame in her heart made her feel angry with herself, and she did not dare to look at the mortal in front of her.

"Hey, look at what you said, how come it has nothing to do with me?" Lu Yuan smiled, took a few steps closer, and said:
"You know, I ordered you to be captured here. All your current situations and experiences, every wound and pain on your body, are inseparable from me."

"You..." Karina was even more embarrassed and annoyed. If she had the flaming sword in her hand at this moment, she might jump over and chop the person in front of her immediately.

Lu Yuan shrugged, not caring about her murderous expression, but instead he was very interested:
"So, I don't like to look at things in this world based on the so-called standards of justice or evil. I believe you should be able to agree with my statement, right, angel?"

Without waiting for Karina to answer, Lu Yuan continued:

“Justice can make people pure and feel the good side of the world, and at the same time, it can make those who are willing to believe in it become addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves..."

"I understand the world's desire and yearning for justice, but it does not prevent me from belittling such people, because in my eyes, the world is not as clear-cut as black and white..."

"What's the difference between Jing and Wei?" Karina murmured this unfamiliar word in confusion.

"..."

Lu Yuan, who was about to teach some truth to the angel in front of him, was choked.

I seem to have forgotten that there are no Jinghe River and Weihe River on Aier Star, so there is no such word as "Jingwei River"...

"Don't interrupt me." Lu Yuan said displeasedly, his tone slightly cold.

"In short, using pure good and evil to distinguish things between good and bad, in my eyes, is like a child's eyes, the world must be good and bad..."

"Oh, even the most naive children know that justice exists in the world, so angels are very willing to protect weak children." Karina said forcefully.

"Okay, okay, I can't convince you..." A certain goal has been achieved, Lu Yuan's lips raised slightly and he said:
"But our company does not need the blessing of angels. We are strong enough to protect ourselves."

"To be honest, my original intention is that the company doesn't care about the justice or injustice of angels. For us, interests come first. If we are given enough benefits, we may not be unable to be like the light."

"It's a pity. There are always people who see us getting benefits but don't see how powerful we are. They will be unhappy and want to rob us and squeeze our living space. That's why we will take some extreme measures." Lu Yuanruo said as if he was pointing, looking directly at Karina.

Karina was silent and self-reflective again, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, resisting the heartbreaking pain from the wounds on her body, and said:

"If you want to say something, just say it directly, don't be secretive."

"If you want to shake my faith, then you might as well find a way to kill me directly. If you want to shake my will, then you are just wishful thinking. If you want to get something from me, then just come and get it. Anyway, I can’t resist anything now!”
