I'm just an ordinary person passing by

Because this is her choice.

It is this kind of darkness that once again gathers on the Oni King, the Oni King who has gathered the power of darkness from three eras... His strength may be said to be the strongest existence among all the monsters in Japan.

Even those Gods and Buddhas in Gaotianyuan and Hell, I am afraid they can't do anything to this strongest ghost king...

Oh yes, there seems to be no so-called gods and Buddhas in this world... That is to say, this ghost king should be the strongest existence in this era.

The ghost king's explanation made both Yuyihu and Nino understand why this human girl became a monster, and also made Yuyihu and Nino realize that as long as this continues, let alone a monster that surpasses Shutendouji , at least a powerful Lord of Demons and Monsters will appear.

In this era, except for the three demon kings in front of me...except for Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, and Hagoromo, the fourth lord of ghosts and demons...

Er Nai finally understood why he appeared here...why he was qualified to sit in this position.

No matter what I choose next, at least at this moment, I have the possibility of becoming a ghost king in the future... Don't look at the present, look at the future, she is also qualified to sit with ghost kings!

This is my future... this is... my possibility?

To be honest, Er Nao didn't understand very much when he heard these words.

There is indeed a lot of darkness in this society, especially in Japan, where the darkness is no less than that of a free bald eagle, or even worse.

It is normal for a huge darkness to appear in such a social situation, and according to Mr. Ghost King's explanation, it is also normal for the darkness to choose one person to bear.

But... why is it me?

My own life is happy, happy, and has nothing to do with the darkness. Why would the darkness choose me?

Lord Ghost King will become the carrier of darkness. He was chosen because Lord Ghost King is the son of god. The god son of Tanba Mountain in Danba Kingdom was very miraculous before he became a monster. He was still so young after entering the temple for a hundred years. As he grows old, he is still like a child.

Because of this, Master Ghost King will be the chosen one.

But myself... what about myself?

Because I yearned for rebellion, I was chosen by the darkness?

how is this possible.....

It seems to be having fun in bitterness, and it seems to be self-deprecating. In short, Er Nai couldn't help thinking about it.

These are not important anymore...Although it is strange why the darkness chooses itself, this issue is not important now...

The important thing is...how should I choose?

Do you want to give up the chance to become the lord of demons and monsters and become an ordinary person, or choose to become the lord of demons and monsters, the first in this era and the fourth in this world?

The former will undoubtedly live with relatives, but the latter may chase the shadow of the ghost king.

What to do... what to do to myself?

Nino didn't know how to make a decision, she wanted to give up this power, but...but now, she didn't know how to choose...

She couldn't help looking at the ghost king, her eyes showed a look of bewilderment...wanting to get an answer...

"..."

The King of Ghosts looked into her eyes, and was silent for a while, maybe because everyone was chosen, or maybe everyone seemed to have had such an experience, after hesitating for a while, he still spoke.

"Nano Nakano...are you afraid of youkai...or hate youkai?"

"I... don't hate it, but I don't like it either..."

Because the atmosphere of this era is like this, Nakano Nino's answer...is a standard answer.

And the ghost king asked again.

"Then do you like humans?"

"I like my relatives, friends..."

I didn't answer directly whether I like humans or not, but I made it clear that I like my relatives and friends... However, although Nino didn't say it clearly, this is still normal, compared to not liking or hating monsters , it is obvious that Er Nao will still favor humans.

Since Er Nai is a human being, this is a matter of course and expected.

But... as long as there is this, it is enough...

The ghost king got the answer he wanted, and then... smiled.

"That's enough... Nakano Nino."

"The power of darkness will make you a monster, and you will become a pure monster like me."

"Your race will change, and your mind will be affected by darkness."

"However, this does not mean that you will have nothing to do with humans from now on."

"You grew up as a human being, you grew up in a human society, you spent the first half of your life as a human being, there is no doubt about it."

"What determines your race is your blood, your birth, and your strength? No, neither. What determines your race is your heart."

"As long as you believe that you are human, as long as you still admit that you are human, as long as you remember this, as long as you remember that you were human and your heart was human, then... you have not Abandon your human identity."

Chapter 270 The brilliance of human nature is endless, and the darkness of human nature is endless

The sound was not too loud, but it was heard clearly in Er Nai's ears.

The pupils of the eyes widened in an instant, as if the wind was blowing from the eyes, curling the long hair and stirring the heart.

The originally overwhelmed emotions, as if possessing some magical power, were all at once calmed down.

"What determines one's identity...is not blood, but...one's heart..."

"What you want to do...is up to you..."

Er Nao has never heard such words, it is not blood, not tradition, but one's own heart that determines one's identity...

The ghost king's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Er Nai's heart hard.

——Identity is not the root of everything, and neither is strength... Your own heart is the only thing that determines everything.

Heart... As long as you firmly believe that you are human, can you live as a human even if you become a monster?

Nino is very scared... Ever since she learned that she will become a monster, she has been very scared, very afraid that she will become a monster instead of a human being.

There is no special reason, there is no special reason, she is human... She has been a human since she was a child, she grew up as a human, and suddenly she became a monster. The life and daily life of the past ten years were broken, this kind of It is impossible for any human being to accept it easily!

Even knowing that she might become Shuten-douji's power, she still wavers, not knowing whether to give up her human identity to gain power, or to give up her power to keep her human identity.

She didn't know how to choose, didn't know how to answer.

But now, Jiu Tun-douji... the king of ghosts told her that it was not her own blood that determined her identity, but her own heart.

As long as you have the heart...as long as you still feel that you are a human being, you can live as a human being...Is that so?

So... I can actually stand beside Lord Ghost King, right?

The shaking in my heart began to tremble violently, strength, or the identity of a human being, the scales in Nakano Nino's heart seemed to be shaking slowly...

The body began to tremble, and the pupils began to shake. Nino lowered her head stiffly and looked at the trembling hands... As long as you keep your heart, you can maintain your human identity with the blood of a monster...

Power, blood, power, blood, power, blood, power, power...

Her breathing gradually became short of breath, Nino gasped for breath, her eyes became more shaken, her emotions became more intense, it seemed that her struggling heart was at its last moment.

Then, at a certain moment, Nino's trembling hands were clenched into fists, and at that moment, Nino made a decision!

She raised her head and looked at the ghost king in front of her. There was a look in her eyes that she had never seen before... like a wounded beast struggling to die, or like a drowning person trying to grab the last plank.

She expressed her decision in a tone she had never done before.

"I want... to give up my power!!!"

It is not sonorous and powerful, but full of entanglements of struggling to abandon everything.

But... such an answer made the ghost king laugh.

The ghost king who got Nino's answer was slightly stunned, and then he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha... Interesting, really interesting, Nakano Nino, tell me, why did you make such a decision? I have already told you what to do after you get the power, why do you want to give up this power?"

Those blood-red pupils were full of curiosity and concern, as if they had really heard something worth caring about.

Facing this rhetorical question, Er Nao bit her lower lip unconsciously, and she clenched her fist tightly for a while, before replying in a tone of regret and reluctance, but she had to do so.

"Because I don't know if I can control this power..."

"Master Ghost King, you said that this power will affect people. Although you can control it with your own will, you can keep your human thoughts and concepts. As long as you still maintain this concept, you can become a human being, but...but This kind of thing... can I really do it?"

When Shuten-douji finished speaking those words earlier, Nakano Nino's heart was really shaken.

Not only can he maintain his human identity, but also he can gain strength, and he can also have the opportunity to catch up with the ghost king. How can such a good thing that kills three birds with one stone not make people excited?

But... when Er Nao was extremely excited, imagining that she could also become the master of ghosts and monsters like Lord Ghost King and Yu Yihu, she suddenly realized that all of this was based on one premise... .

——You can control this power yourself!

Only by controlling this dark power can one become the master of power and maintain a human posture, but if one fails to control this power...fails to control oneself, what will happen?

Acknowledge your identity as a monster...abandon your previous human identity...give up your fetters, relatives, and friends, become a monster completely, and then...do you harm the world?

Lord Oni was able to control this power because he was Lord Oni...Because he succeeded, he became the strongest Oni King, but such an Oni King only appeared once, and only once in Japanese history.

Such an existence that has only appeared once in thousands of years, why can Er Nai feel that he can be the next one?

When she realized this, the joy in her heart disappeared instantly, replaced by deep contemplation...

Can she control this power... can she master this power... can she always... be herself?

Can't, can't, can't...

She asked herself countless questions, longing for countless possibilities deep in her heart, maybe as long as there is one who can admit herself, she will agree to accept this power, but... no matter what she thinks, no matter how she asks, her heart The answer I got... is that I can't...

She couldn't lie to herself... let alone give up on herself.

Among countless denials, amidst his own self-knowledge, Er Nai...finally chose to give up his power...

Maybe the power of darkness is huge, and maybe I can become what I want to be, but...compared with power, it really is my relatives and friends... The fetters I have always had are more important!

Therefore, she gave up her power...

"Master Ghost King... I'm sorry, I failed your trust... You want me to become a monster... You want me to accept this power, that's why you tell me these things, right? But... Really I'm sorry...that's just how I am...an ordinary person who can't be like you..."

Maybe it was because he had already made a decision, or maybe he realized which one was more important to him, Nina's heart finally calmed down again.

Abandoning power, this is indeed something that makes people very reluctant. Being able to become the power of the lord of demons and monsters is enough to make countless people in the world be moved by it.

Become a monster and gain power, then he has a chance to get 90.00% of the things in the world.

Whether it is wealth, power, or status, they are all within reach, and even, he can get a long life.

From the appearance of monsters to the present, it is extremely normal to live for a thousand years. This kind of life is almost impossible for anyone to resist.

Even when giving up his strength, Er Nao gritted his teeth and made a difficult choice.

However, even so, Nino would not regret it.

She will not give up this power, but she will never regret this decision!

only......

A little bit disappointing Lord Ghost King...

Lord Ghost King told her like this, you can control this power by keeping your heart, and hoped that she could get this power, but, with the reminder of Lord Ghost King, he still gave up...

This time, my impression in the heart of the Ghost King will definitely become very bad...even, this may be the last time I see the Ghost King...

How could she, who lost the possibility of becoming the master of ghosts and demons, approach Lord Ghost King again as a human being...

Slightly lowering her head, a trace of bitterness flowed from the girl's eyes.

I really want to stay with Lord Ghost King...I really want to talk to Lord Ghost King more...but...it's over, everything is over...I still don't have the right to step into this world after all …

The decision to choose her to be the dark side of this age was wrong from the start...

Loss and helplessness slowly pervaded Er Nao's heart, Yu Yihu also felt Er Nao's emotions, she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Indeed... Nino is right, power will make people lose themselves, and people who are addicted to power, do people control power, or power control people?

Shuten-douji can easily say the words of controlling power, because he has controlled the darkness of two eras and still maintains his own existence. However, Shuten-douji is the only example among Japanese monsters. The only one that has appeared in a hundred years, carrying the dark existence of two eras.

Taking Shuten-douji as an example, or even aiming at Shuten-douji, without absolute awareness or will, it is impossible to succeed.

Nakano Nino is really too weak compared to Shuten Doji...

Instead of letting Nakano Nino try to bear such darkness, it is better to just give up this power...

I didn't think about things before, but I actually connected Er Nao with the King of Ghosts... No, it's not that they can't be connected, but...the two sides are too far apart.
