I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 800 Burning

In fact, Fire did not really understand its master Prometheus.

After it was given to humans, Prometheus left.

When humans lit the first spark, built the first fire, witnessed the arrival of light for the first time, and felt the temperature of flames for the first time, all were taught to them step by step by fire.

Those young humans gathered in a circle in the cave, watching the fire burning more and more vigorously with fear. They wanted to touch it, but were frightened by the temperature of the flames and fled in fear.

After that, gradually master the distance from the flame, master how to prevent fire, master which things can be used to burn and which cannot, which things can be used to increase the flame, and which things can be used to extinguish the flame.

From being afraid of fire, to facing fire, to accepting fire, and relying on fire, the fire has always been by the side of human beings, guiding them and assisting them.

It can be said that it was fire that led humans onto the path of civilization of "burning everything".

The leaves were used to burn and then burned away.

The clay, after being burned, becomes hard.

Water is used for burning, and when the fire goes out, the water is gone too.

Stones, used for burning, are useless.

Food, if you cook it, it tastes good.

The sleeping companion was burned and died...

Playing with fire has become an instinct engraved in human genes. Curiosity drives them to burn everything with flames. They gradually understand what can be burned and what cannot be burned, and gradually burn out their own civilization.

Prometheus was absent during this process.

“I am the one guiding them…”

The fire has been monitoring humans and preventing them from going down the wrong path.

It resolutely carried out Prometheus's orders and prevented the darkness from approaching.

Under its guidance, humans invented a variety of lighting tools. The whole world was brightly illuminated by human-made light sources. Darkness was gradually excluded and could no longer enter human society.

Human beings' nocturnal genes are gradually disappearing, and every night, they turn on the lights to dispel the darkness.

Fire thinks it's responsible for all this.

However, it is Prometheus that humans praise, and they only mention it in a few words.

Prometheus never cared about humans again.

The Fire Seed felt that if it were not for it, mankind would have returned to darkness long ago, and the current human civilization was all made possible by his efforts.

"I deserve more praise from mankind than he does."

However, now that human culture has taken shape, Fire is no longer willing to interfere.

So, it intends to let the dark races praise him after they gain light.

The Fire Seed imagined that after it transformed this place into a "bright place", the dark races heading towards the light would write it into myths and poems, describing it in the most beautiful language...

“They will understand me.”

Darkness is a very fragile thing, the more light it gets, the weaker it becomes.

The dark race is also very fragile creatures. With just a slight burn, they can become what the fire wants.

But now, it encountered a darkness that could not be illuminated.

The darkness clung to its body like a maggot on its tarsal bones and it could not get rid of it no matter what it did.

Even though it tried its best, it could not make the darkness brighter. Instead, it itself was constantly being swallowed by the spreading darkness.

"What exactly is this?"

Unable to break free, the fire could only use all its strength to open a hole and burn forward.

However, it encountered a black spear, blocking its way.

The one holding the spear is the dark race it has always looked down upon.

Ugly hair, sharp claws, and that feral tail and heart...but underneath those thick blood vessels, there seemed to be something else.

"A... cube?" The Spark could no longer see clearly, its vision completely engulfed by the black spots. The black tip of the gun was growing larger and larger, and was about to collide with its own flames.

Time seemed to stand still, and the fire seemed to see the spear slowly spinning...

"Prometheus, you are guilty of a heinous crime!"

"Heinous crime!"

Some strange sounds came from the spear.

Prometheus's heinous crime?
This is the first time that Huozhong has heard such an evaluation.

In the past, all it heard was praise and admiration.

However, Prometheus was indeed a heinous criminal to it, throwing it into human society and not caring about it, and also taking away all the credit for benefiting mankind...

"Yes, it's a heinous crime."

It echoed.

“I didn’t expect that the one who understood me was actually a spear.”

Humans do not understand it, and neither do the dark ones.

There was only a spear, and understood it.

The fire felt relieved, it retracted its surging power and allowed the tip of the gun to pierce the flames.

The rampant flames suddenly weakened, and the spear that condensed the power of shadow easily tore through the barrier of fire.

The flames were instantly disturbed, and black spots took the opportunity to spread in the firelight, corroding everywhere, and the light suddenly dimmed.

As the flames enveloped the spear, the sound the Fire Seed heard became clearer and clearer...

"How was the bad guy punished?"

"Which bad guy?"

"Prometheus."

"Oh, him... He was taken to a mountain range, tied to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken, so that he could never sleep, and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was driven into his chest, and a vulture was allowed to eat his liver."

"It doesn't seem too harsh. He didn't die... I think the punishment could be a little more imaginative."

"What kind?"

"Well... you can use the Smoothness Rule to turn him into a ball first, then use the Immortality Rule to make him unable to die, then use the Hole Rule to make holes in his body, then use the Diffusion Rule to double his pain, then use the Redundancy Rule to preserve all the pain, and finally, use the Repetition Rule to repeat this process over and over again, so that the pain continues to accumulate..."

"What will it look like in the end?" the voice asked curiously.

"It will turn into a black hole of pain. Because the pain is too dense, it will form a black hole. This black hole will spontaneously absorb all the pain around it, and then it will become more and more painful, and the range of absorption will become larger and larger, until all the pain in the world is sucked in and he will bear it alone."

"so smart?"

"of course."

"anything else?"

"Have……"

……

Listening to the conversation coming from the spear, Huozhuang suddenly felt relieved.

I didn't expect that when the fire was about to be swallowed by darkness, I could hear such an interesting thing.

In the past, because the fire burned so fiercely, it had never heard those tiny sounds.

It ponders the fate of civilization, the struggle between darkness and light, the guidance of religion on culture, rationality and wildness...

All I think about are those grand "flames".

And those ashes under the flames, it never thought...
