Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

Chapter 432: Cultivate the Heart First

"A little pain."

Everything around him was white. Sigma regained consciousness and hurriedly got up. He remembered that he had accidentally provoked a group of eels in Valley Port, and fell into the lake during the pursuit, and lost consciousness.

I didn't expect that after waking up, I would come to a strange space... Could this be my opportunity?

Faintly, he sensed that there should be two people around him, or perhaps two parties.

It was too white, I couldn't see anything, there was no alien sensory feedback, and there was no difference between black and white at this moment.

Gradually, distorted light and shadows appeared from an unknown distance, and sounds came simultaneously.

"How do you feel about your own body and strength?"

Behind the radiant figure, many auras emerge, some of them are majestic and lofty, some are overbearing and wanton, but all of them have a profound aura and background that cannot be fathomed.

Opposing them is a young man who is still immature.

"Not very good. The control of power is too rough and it is not smooth to use."

The young man spoke very carefully and did not say anything too explicit.

"You just say that you feel guilty about using your strength. It's like you borrowed it. You don't feel right, but you have to act normal. It's just a waste of your energy."

Hearing this, the young man smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

"Your problem has little to do with strength.

To put it bluntly, strength, hardware and software are all indispensable.

With hardware, once you get it, if you practice diligently and gain more experience, you will be able to use it... Which top-level expert doesn't develop in all aspects and have no shortcomings in the end?

You don't have to worry about these hardware.

But you have a lot of problems yourself.”

The group of figures looked at the young man, and most of them showed disdain.

He is just a mortal. They don’t care about his life level or anything like that.

We look down on ordinary people because their wills are incompletely developed, their knowledge is shallow but they are arrogant, their hearts are dirty but they refuse to admit it.

Working with such a guy is useless and worthless.

"You mean insight and soul?"

Seeing the other party remain silent, the young man had no choice but to ask.

“It’s good that you can figure out what the problem is.

Unfortunately, what I have said still belongs to the hardware aspect, which we can help you improve and transform.

What do you think you are now?

Star God or human?"

“As for the outside world’s perception of me, I am an aggregate of Star God fragments.

Speaking from my heart, my current state is no different from that of a stronger human being."

"Okay, well said."

The glowing figure straightened up slightly, and a shapeless voice behind him that always made people feel like there was a piece of meat said, "You have a little self-awareness, so that we wouldn't bother to refine you into a construct to carry out the mission."

"Okay, now let's officially start correcting your previous perceptions.

You have a tumor in your body, what should you do? "

Unexpectedly, the glowing figure asked a question that was so simple that it almost required no answer.

"Of course we will get rid of it."

“What about waste cells?”

“That’s been dealt with.”

"What about excess fat, salt, metals, and indigestible foods?"

"It's all taken care of."

"Tell me, how to deal with it?"

"Ok?"

The young man was slightly stunned, and then said as a matter of course: "If it can be directly absorbed and reused, then use it.

Kill all the waste cells and tumors, and then see how the body deals with them… I have forgotten everything about biology, so I don’t know if it can be absorbed.

Those waste substances will naturally be excreted from the body."

"it is good."

The figure nodded slightly, and it was obvious that the other party was quite satisfied with the young man's answer.

"Then kill them."

The elderly, the weak, women and children, four humans and a blunt knife were thrown in front of the young man. There was an indelible kindness and gentleness on the frightened faces of some of them, which showed that they were just ordinary civilians.

The young man's eyes swept over the civilians lying on the ground, unable to speak, and he was unable to take any action.

Killing regular soldiers is a matter of course. Once on the battlefield, the enemy's regular army will fight to the death.

It is reasonable to execute criminals. There is no order without rules. It is also reasonable to admit your mistakes and take action.

But seeing the other party's appearance, the young man couldn't bring himself to execute civilians with cold weapons, or civilians without any interference.

"Can I ask why you killed these four people?"

The young man refused to give up and wanted to give the other party a chance to survive, or at least not die in too much pain.

“Because they are good people.”

The glowing figure spoke as if it was a matter of course, and as if he remembered something, he added: "These four were carefully selected from your hometown, and all of them have made great achievements and contributions to mankind.

And they are from the same country as you, so it’s not easy to find them.

Let’s do it.”

Facing the other party's urging, the young man suddenly shouted:

"Why kill them? They have given everything, but because they can no longer contribute, they are going to be killed?"

"It's not that they can no longer contribute. The reason for killing them is just because they are useless."

The young man was stunned and cursed: "What kind of bullshit is this! Good people should be pointed at by guns? After devoting your whole life, this is what you get? Who would dare to work with you!"

"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out.

In any world, if you can't afford to live, then die. This is not an empty statement.

Without sufficient foundation, how can you be qualified to show mercy? "

The glowing figure continued in a flat voice: "You can keep them if you want, or raise them as a child.

But you have to know what the current situation of the universe is. If you don’t implement the new plan, can you fill those gaps?

The big plan and the education you've experienced are two different things.

Think about what's inside you, kid.

Countless cells dedicate their entire lives. Red blood cells are born to be like cattle and horses. They work throughout their entire lives, and when they can no longer work, they are immediately recycled and decomposed.

You don't think there is anything wrong with the cells that work for you. They haven't done anything for you, so you should let them go just for your so-called compassion and conscience?

Why don't you let go of those aging cells in your body, and then let them rot and stink in your body, and countless toxins accumulate in your body, killing you and other healthy cells and organs, and just satisfy your conscience?

There is no mercy in the grand scheme of things.

You think you are kind and have saved people, but you don't know that your unauthorized use of the law will cause more people to lose their country and families, and die in a foreign land!

You dealt with the aging cells in your body without any burden, and even felt at ease, but you care about an outsider?

The voices became increasingly harsh, the words increasingly meaner, but the young man was silenced and unable to reply.

After a long while, he finally said: "Cells are cells, this is a person..."

"You don't think your identity is still the same as before, do you?

Your current actions can be said to hold the fate of mankind in your hands. If you succeed, the life and death of countless races will depend on a single thought.

You cannot use the perspective of cells as your own perspective, and you cannot use the rise and fall of others to constrain your own rise and fall.

Until you become invincible in the world, you have no right to empathize, nor do you need empathy.

I won’t talk about your previous acquaintance. After all, the barriers in the world you were in at that time were too thick to communicate with the sea of ​​souls.

But in the current situation, you have to have a sense of proportion.”
