Volume 13: The Son of Darkness, the Lord of the Netherworld, the Happy One Chapter 104: Empathy from Above
The gourd Taoist told himself to continue waiting until he could see himself clearly, and then continue walking down.
But it seems impossible for me to stop. Only by continuing to move forward can I prove the value of my existence.
Thinking of this, Noel reached out and grabbed the power wrapped in lightning.
As the thunder and lightning loosened, the general's abilities were directly acquired by Noel.
A surge of power surged into his body, but this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was...
"I can feel the power of blood..." Knowl immediately gained the ability of a general.
It's just that because he is not leading a legion now, this ability has undergone some changes.
All individuals with dragon power in the world are within his reach. He is like a general who can strengthen the power of these dragons and can also...
"Deprive it of it!" Noel sensed something in the air and waved his hand instinctively. Then, a force came out of nowhere and replenished Noel's dragon power.
Noel's face froze. This was completely instinctive behavior.
It’s like when you’re hungry and you see food, you instinctively pick it up and take a bite.
"Is this the reason why Taoist Gourd advised me not to rush to accept this power?" The general's power is a great complement.
The Dragon's Luck itself is a kind of clustered force of time and space, and the general's ability is also a clustered operation ability.
It can be said that this ability makes up for the part of power that Noel lacks the most, allowing him to quickly reach the extreme in the development of Dragon's Luck.
Because of this, he couldn't control himself.
He felt like he had turned into a dragon and was gradually losing his empathy as a human being. Although his empathy did not disappear, it had changed.
It’s just like we don’t care about the life and death of ants, insects and other creatures. If the other party offends us, we will kill the other party without hesitation and never feel guilty.
After all, it is difficult for normal people to empathize with ants and insects.
Going a little closer, it is also difficult to empathize with meat animals such as chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs, and we should also love pet animals instead of empathizing with them.
Because empathy essentially means treating animals as equal beings, this will inevitably distort the need for animals' real existence.
It’s just like releasing fish into the water. Due to the temperature difference in the water, the fish feel uncomfortable after being released and they roll around in the water, trying to leave the area.
However, the people who released it believe it to be a spirit and are unwilling to leave the people who released it, so they express their gratitude.
This is the distortion of the needs for animals that empathetic animals bring about.
Animals are not humans. They may not need some of the things that humans need. Some things that seem wrong to humans may be very normal for them.
However, there are still some people who are too full to interfere with things like dog sledding.
This kind of relationship, which is similar to the coexistence between humans and dogs, will only become difficult for people if it is disturbed and destroyed by barbaric "compassion", while dogs will lose their way to survive.
Those who blamed, those who empathized with animals at will, and those who overflowed with their own compassion, just walked away.
And this is precisely the characteristic that shows they have no real empathy.
What they enjoy is the "salvation" of the life in front of them, which satisfies their own superior mentality.
As for what these lives really need, they don't care.
A kind of empathy from a high place.
Noel is in the same situation at this moment. Impacted by the power of dragon's luck, he also develops a special mentality at this moment.
That is, human beings are too insignificant in the face of time and space.
And now, he is no longer such a small thing as a human being.
So he has the responsibility to save mankind.
This kind of responsibility comes from the empathy that comes from a high position.
Just like people playing strategy games, the engineers, soldiers, and hero units in the game are nothing more than "resources."
For the so-called victory, these resources are important, but they are also sacrificial. When the game is finally won, won’t these units in the game also cheer?
This is what Noel did at this time, sacrificing a small number of people in exchange for a greater degree of "victory".
With this mentality, Noel continued to sense some powerful dragon power, and then directly chose to deprive it.
The opponent's life and abilities will enter Noel's body at this moment. Noel can even feel the opponent's "time and space image" of the previous period of time.
For example, his use of his own abilities and everything he has done will flash in his mind.
"Sure enough, most of the people who can obtain the power of dragon at this stage are from the legendary realm. Aren't they good people?" Noel sensed this person's past.
His mentality changed slightly, and he gave himself some psychological preparation, allowing him to absorb the dragon's power with peace of mind.
With the help of these two dragon powers, Noel's observation of time and space has taken a step further.
At this time, he also vaguely realized the particularity of his own timeline, observed the blockade of the timeline by the Taoist priest Calabash, and the various means by which the God of History broke through the blockade.
This ability to perceive things comprehensively made Noel feel more and more like he was not a human being.
"I should help Taoist Gourd." Noel thought.
"But we can't completely stand on his side. After all, is his purpose really just to spread the way of true self?" Not to mention Noel's rejection of the way of true self, just because the purpose of Gourd Taoist was unclear and he was an outsider, Noel did not dare to completely trust Gourd Taoist.
Now, Noel wants to usurp the position of the God of History.
At this time, Noel also saw the way the God of History itself existed.
A long river of time, and Shi Luo under the long river of time.
"It is similar to the form of a general soul, or rather, the general soul was made according to the other party's form."
"It seems that the long river of time actually has the possibility of being taken away." Noel's gaze quickly fell on Shi Luo.
Generally speaking, a general's soul will be fixed to its host after awakening, and it is basically impossible to change.
However, there have always been some exceptions in the past.
For example, some general souls look down on their hosts, and since their abilities may be related to betrayal and independence, they may betray their hosts.
Before the true self of the soul appears, it does not have the ability to survive on its own, so it still needs a host.
Therefore, in the past, souls were abandoned from their original owners and replaced with new hosts.
There have also been cases where the host was dissatisfied with the general soul and abandoned his own general soul in order to replace it.
All this shows that the soul can be replaced.
Then it seems that Shi Luo’s long river of time can also be taken away!
