Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 481 Are humans only capable of deception and betrayal?

Essentially, the girls love the planet under their feet, love every orbit of its clockwise revolution in the boundless universe, and love its appearance of green clustered in the azure blue. However, that is not because they have deep feelings for the planet, but because their mother, the goddess who created the world, once told the girls who had just come to the world for the first time about it in a proud, loving and slightly sad tone before falling asleep: how the magic that dances as lightly as fragments of light fills every corner of the world and gives it the vitality of life; how the algae that are smaller than the stars flourish in the original ocean and shape the original form of life; how the warm breath that comes out from between His lips and teeth shuttles across the endless sky and the infinitely vast earth, becoming the first breath after the birth of life...

Then, life appeared. When the first giant dragon with wisdom suddenly looked up at the stars in the middle of the night and thought about the meaning of its birth and future, their footprints quickly spread to every corner of the world like mitotic spores. On the plains, in the canyons, in the mountains, on the seashore, at the end of thought, at the beginning of memory, in every place you can imagine, they competed with each other, longed for strength, hunted, farmed, lit fires, made tools, carved murals, created characters, lived in groups, coexisted, united, supported, elected leaders, established tribes... Civilization was born from then on, as melodious and beautiful as poetry.

"what."

At that time, the mother's tone was so relieved, and later, the girls felt so hopeful: "What a wonderful world this must be, right?"

But the mother didn't have time to see this beautiful world to the end. Because she consumed too much energy in creating the world, she had to fall into a deep sleep. When He closed his eyes and sank into the distant lightless sea, he must have had many regrets, right? The girls inherited this ardent emotion from their mother and had a blind dependence on His words. They all thought that if their mother said that the world was beautiful, then it must be beautiful. The past was beautiful, the present is beautiful, and the future will definitely be beautiful.

When the mother wakes up from the lightless sea and looks at the world again, wanting to see what the world she created has become, it must be beautiful. Otherwise, it would be a shame for the mother's hard work and all the effort and emotion she has poured into this world.

Because of this idea, the world that Tumi described to them was simply unimaginable. War? Why did they engage in such meaningless fights? Killing? Why did they take other people's lives for reasons other than survival? Hegemony of the continent, domination of the world? What is the meaning of such illusory titles? Don't they know that the world is a beautiful wish of the mother, and each of them is the mother's beloved child?

The world in their hands did not seem as beautiful as their mother described, but became even worse.

In this case, perhaps someone needs to step forward and guide the world onto the right path. Otherwise, when the mother wakes up, she will be very disappointed. She may shake her head sadly and say, "This is not the world I want." For these girls who love and rely on her, nothing is more sad than this.

Perhaps when the mother created the world, she was too tired and neglected to give humans the ability to use magic. If so, this omission should be made up by her children.

With this in mind, the girls agreed to Tumi's request, gifted him the power of the kingship, and asked him to promise to create a better world. However, they did not make any restrictions on this promise. Perhaps only the purest and kindest girls would think that once a promise is made, it must be fulfilled.

If possible, I really want to see with my own eyes what the world created by my mother looks like now.

After Tumi left, the Heavenly Temple, which had been slightly disturbed by his arrival, quickly returned to its former peace, but the girls' hearts could not return to their former peace. They often talked about the guest who had come here for a short visit, the only guest in a long time, and discussed what he was doing now, whether he had helped his compatriots get rid of their suffering as he wished? Was the war on the ground over? Are the people who had been fighting each other willing to eliminate the conflict and live in peace? Did the man still remember his promise? Was he working hard to create a better world? Like the mother expected and the girls dreamed of?

He was a man of strong will and noble beliefs, so he must have done it, right?

The man in front of me might be a good choice.

Although he is just a mortal, he has the courage to cross the sea of ​​stars and has no fear in the face of the terrifying interstellar tides and the extinct ancient star paths; he pursues power, but that is not for personal gain and desire, but for the peril of the entire race; the situation of the people on the earth he described is indeed sympathetic. If everyone is a mother's child, then they should not be the only ones to suffer the suffering of the weak.

At that time, someone expressed such a feeling. If Fei Er remembered correctly, it should be Lilithi, the youngest of all the sisters. She was cheerful and lively, carefree, and loved everything in life, as if there was nothing she hated. She was also the most emotionally expressive of all the sisters, and never concealed her love for her mother and other sisters. Therefore, she was most looking forward to that beautiful world.

I wonder if she regrets saying that now. But it's not right, why do I start to assume? I know that there is no point in thinking, it is just the most empty pain in the world.

Maybe that's what life is like. The emptier it is, the more it wants to touch. The more uneasy it is, the more restless it becomes. After Lilisti said that, it seemed as if a mysterious force had opened the curtain covering the Holy Temple of Heaven. After that, the voices from the ground began to linger in the ears of the girls. They were all the sounds of prayer. At that time, whenever Fei'er closed her eyes, she could hear countless pious voices echoing in her mind. They said, "Pray for your coming," "Please come here," "Our world is eagerly awaiting your return"... and so on.

"It seems that people on the ground are looking forward to our landing on that planet." Favrona said to her elder sister excitedly, "We can't disappoint them, why don't we go down and take a look?"

"But," the eldest sister was obviously hesitant, "we cannot abandon our mission. Besides, before our mother fell asleep, she told us not to step into the world easily. Otherwise, it may lead to unexpected consequences."

"Well, that's a problem."

They gathered together to discuss for a long time. Some of them, like Favrona, wanted to go to the ground to see the world created by their mother; while others thought that the eldest sister's concerns were reasonable. If all the girl royal powers left the Heavenly Temple, the order of the universe would surely fall into chaos, right? In the end, they decided that the girls who governed the law of order would stay in the Heavenly Temple, while the girls who governed the law of chaos would go to the planet under their feet and bring back what they saw to the other sisters. The reason for making such a decision was that the girls who governed the law of chaos heard the most prayers, and the emotions contained in them were also the strongest.

Does this mean that chaotic girls are more popular in the world?

The eldest sister felt a little lost at that time, but Fei'er only felt irony when she thought about it now, because what can make living beings have the most sincere emotions is never selfless gifts, but the quagmire of despair and darkness.

In this way, the chaotic girls left the Holy Temple of Heaven, crossed the ancient star road, crossed the long and dangerous interstellar tides, and after a long journey, finally arrived at the place they had longed for. In that ideal world full of beauty and wishes, they saw——

War, curse, chaos, blood, and wailing.

……

"Before this, all our emotions were positive. In other words, they were joy, happiness, longing, yearning, and innocence. They were just like the purest and flawless crystal, uncontaminated by any dust." Fei'er's voice became a little low when he said this: "But, the man named Tumi used his actual actions to make us understand that not all emotions in this world have positive meanings. Many times, they only make people suffer. For example, the anger after being deceived, and the regret after being betrayed."

"He deceived us and stole the power of the throne from us with a shameful lie."

"He betrayed us and did not keep the promise he had made before leaving."

"If this is the case, then you should be aware of it and bear the price of deception and betrayal."

The Witch of Fear slowly tightened her palm, as if she had grasped the heart of the deceiver and betrayer, her eyes were extremely cold: "He used this power wrongly, and humans are not worthy of the power of the kingship. They will only kill each other and then destroy themselves. Therefore, we decided to take this power back."

“Put it back where it belongs.”
