Alien Knights

A few hours later, when Scathach dived into the deep sea and saw the murloc city in front of him, he couldn't help exclaiming: "You...what did you do?!"

Leviathan blocked the city with his body and said to Scathach: "I'm just protecting my child."

"This race is extinct and gone! Do you understand?!" Scathach's voice rose: "We are the forerunners, and we should not interfere with the laws of the world. This will break the balance!"

"balance?"

Leviathan twisted his body, as if he heard an extremely ridiculous term: "If you call the repeated genocide balance, then you are like a low-level creature that can never learn a lesson, repeating it over and over again. are repeating mistakes!"

"Our duty is to observe and record! Not to create and destroy recklessly!" Skaha shook his head vigorously and said: "I know you have the habit of containing souls, I sympathize with you and understand you, so I just turned a blind eye With one eye, I didn't object. But! Reactivating those races that have been eliminated, this has exceeded the limit of my tolerance!"

Leviathan pulled out his forest-like tentacles and faced Scathach: "I've had enough of your so-called observations! I will protect my children, even if my opponent is my creator!"

Todd lowered his head and looked at the murloc figures cowering in the city under his feet. Reluctantly, he swam between Leviathan and Scathach, and said, "Both, please wait a moment, we can continue in another place." Discuss?"

Looking at the two forerunners, he turned his gaze to himself, and Todd looked at the city under his feet, and once again indicated that this is not a good place to quarrel.

Finding a quiet place in the sea, Todd first said to Scathach: "The duty of the forerunner is to assist Jing Su to conduct experiments on species and obtain data and information. Am I right?"

Scathach nodded and said, "That's right."

"So, regarding your responsibilities, is there any article that prohibits you from indirectly affecting this world?"

Scathach frowned: "Indirect influence?"

"You can think about it, you cultivated those heroes in the country of shadows, and donated the weapons of those ancient people to them. Is this considered to be affecting this world?"

Scathach replied while thinking: "This is indeed an indirect influence, but compared with Leviathan, my behavior can only be regarded as a negligible influence. He has reactivated a group of races that should have been eliminated!"

Before Leviathan opened his mouth to refute, Todd continued to analyze: "As your creator——Crystal, as the manager of the entire universe, it monitors the entire world. Do you think that he will understand every move of all living things? Didn't know?"

Leviathan rolled his huge eyeballs: "You mean, the creator has always been aware of my behavior, but he chose to acquiesce?"

Todd said slowly: "According to my understanding, as the leader of the life experiment—Jingsu, he may allow the pioneers to adjust the environment and samples sparingly without destroying the entire experiment."

Scathach asked, "Restrained?"

"According to the basic elements of the experiment, if the purpose, rules, principles, steps, etc. of a rigorous experiment are constant and cannot be changed, then the sample, temperature, pressure, pH, etc. of the experiment are variables. I think , on the premise of not destroying the experimental constants, Jingsu may agree with you to affect the variables."

Leviathan thought for a moment and responded, "I understand what you mean."

Scathach raised a question: "According to your statement, Leviathan did not violate the creator's order by reactivating those eliminated races?"

Todd raised his dragon claw and pointed at himself: "You may have heard about the crusaders. I used biotechnology to transform a large number of human beings into extinct alien races. If this behavior touches the bottom line of the crystal house , he should have intervened long ago."

Scathhal held her chin in thought for a while, and she had to admit that Todd's words made sense.

Leviathan said to Todd: "Let's put this topic aside for now. I remember you said that you already have countermeasures for the war of genocide?"

"It's not a countermeasure, it can only be regarded as an immature idea."

Todd rolled up the dragon's tail, hugged his forelimbs together, and bowed his head and said: "According to the development history of races, wars between alien races will first cause the extinction of many races. When there is a winner in the competition, the winning race will It will eventually perish in civil war."

Leviathan added: "Human beings are the initiators, leaders and terminators of genocidal wars. They hostile, enslaved and assimilated other races, and finally killed each other because of greed and desire, triggering the end of one era after another. "

Skaha shook his head slightly, expressing a different opinion: "We can't impose all the guilt on humans. Even if there is no human race, the last thing between alien races will be an extermination war."

Todd organized the logic and said slowly: "In my opinion, the occurrence of the race war and the coming of the era of extinction are mainly due to two reasons, desire and belief."

"I have seen the historical fragments you have shown me. Most of the wars between different races started from unrestrained greed or different beliefs. For example, for a certain ability, a certain technology or a certain piece of land What’s more, differences in beliefs and deviations in doctrine caused by the belief in different gods. These are the sources of the beginning of the war.”

Leviathan agreed: "For humans, endless greed and lack of faith are the reasons for their war."

Scathach sighed: "Humans are not the only ones who are synonymous with evil. In fact, every race has this common problem, but humans are better at war."

Todd continued to explain: "To deal with the risk of war brought about by desire and belief, I make a hypothesis-if all alien races live together in a unified country, and all actions are subject to the constraints of the country, will things become more complicated? Simpler?"

Leviathan questioned: "Living in a unified country? It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do! Every race has different living habits and social differences. Let them live together, there will be different All kinds of problems popped up."

Scathach nodded: "Looking at the history of each era, there have indeed been some great monarchs who established huge empires and tried to bring all races under their command. However, the lives of these empires are very short. Some can persist for hundreds of years, and some can't even persist for ten years."

Todd asked: "What is the reason for the collapse of these empires?"

Leviathan glanced at Skaha first with his huge eyeballs, and then said: "When those wise monarchs or leaders are alive, they can use their personal prestige and political means to control and coordinate many forces in the country. However, when they died, whether it was the heirs or the national parliament, they gradually deviated from the original intention of the country, began to exclude and discriminate against races, and eventually plunged the entire country into the abyss of division and war."

Skaha then added: "History has proved that some wise monarchs, as they grow older and the environment changes, gradually begin to have suspicions about others and themselves, and will overturn their original promises and oaths, and eventually go to war. extreme."

Todd nodded and said: "So, the matter has been discussed until now, and one thing can be confirmed. Although there are differences between different races, as long as there is an eternally wise monarch or leader, then the outbreak of race wars can be avoided. Do you understand that right?"

Scathach said: "That's right, but no wise monarch can live forever, or those monarchs who pursue immortality eventually turn from rationality to stupidity."

Leviathan stared at Todd: "For the matter of avoiding the war of extinction, what is your so-called countermeasure?"

Todd settled down: "The key to avoiding extinct wars lies in the stability of the political situation and the continuation of the country. For the latter, I have tried different paths, but the results are not satisfactory. Now I am inclined to a unique path - the sage king."

"The Sage King?"

Leviathan and Scathach looked at each other, and while they were asking questions, they were also waiting for Todd's next explanation.

Todd said: "I have established a kingdom of heaven in my soul space, and through this kingdom of heaven, I have completed a unified belief structure and judgment system for all races and individuals. Now, I hope to use your strength, Perfect this kingdom of heaven and concretize it into reality."

Scathach asked Todd: "What is the connection between this heaven you mentioned and the wise king you mentioned just now?"

"This kingdom of heaven is the immortal, wise, loving, fair and just sage king in my eyes!"
