Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 17: The Apostles and the Righteous (Part 2)
"Father? Ah, in a sense that's true."
Although there is no blood relationship, he should be the father.
Looking at the semi-energy body in front of him that could not be called a living thing at all, Li Lin nodded.
That is what the girl herself desires, the embodiment of her desires and thoughts. Whether it is the branches spreading and growing in her mind, or the abominable and terrifying posture presented in the subspace, they are all the girl's hatred and anger towards this world.
Very normal, very normal. After all this, it was a bit too much to ask a girl to believe in the justice and absolute conscience of this world. But to be honest, there were too few talented people who could cause waves in the subspace with their own desires and ideas. After thinking about it, Li Lin decided to give the decision to this little girl who could evolve by herself. And obviously, the little girl did not disappoint him.
As time gradually passed, the girl flapped her wings of light and looked at the creator in front of her with empty eyes, as if she was waiting for something.
"...You actually hate those nobles, right?"
Looking at the girl who refused to leave for a long time, who had transformed into an increasingly fragmented strange flame, Li Lin's voice said in her mind:
"You hate them. You are actually not qualified and have no ability to bear the light of the Holy Light. But you want these sinners to die, you want the flames to never stop, you want the light to burn away the darkness. This is your idea and your wish. Am I right?"
"Yes."
The girl who looked like an angel but was not that kind of girl at all responded in a low voice, with deep hatred in her voice.
"I don't want them to live in this world. I don't want to forgive their behavior or find any excuses. I just have a simple personal grudge. I want them to die because of past history, but I know that this behavior is inconsistent with your thoughts, father—"
"What's inconsistent? Do you think I'm a very conventional person?"
Facing the little girl who seemed a little surprised, Li Lin's illusory flame expanded a little and seemed to shrug.
"You are not satisfied with this world, these people, and the current aristocratic system. Then why not establish your own country ?"
"My...country?"
"Yes, that's right, your own country. If this world is not what you want, then you have the ability to change it. What is power? Power is the ability you have, nothing else. Whether through exchange or through your own strength, what you can do is your right. So it doesn't matter if you reshape this planet into what you want, because you have the ability to do it."
"…Is it okay to make everyone suffer the same pain I have suffered? Is it okay to make those monsters and scums experience the cruelest punishment in the world? Can I unleash my wrath on this planet? Even if it means tearing this city and causing mountains to collapse, is that okay?"
"Of course, absolutely, if you can do it."
Li Lin naturally passed on a positive message.
He was never a soft-hearted person. Li Lin thought that Holy Light's judgment might be a result of Holy Light going crazy. Li Lin didn't care about the girl's obsession with holy revenge. It was better to say that he was more interested in the girl herself. This was the first time he had directly used his own will and only affected a life besides Sallys. Although it seemed a bit off, this was indeed his first apostle.
She inherited his will, was an extension of his limbs, and was created by him. Although she looked like a little girl with a stiff brain, looking at the madness and doomsday atmosphere around her, it was not something that humans could do. She was an apostle that Li Lin was very proud of. She inherited his ideas and will, allowing his ideas to spread more and more, making his kingdom more secure and stable. Creating one's own apostle is often an important step in the promotion of a demigod. This kind of thing will greatly enhance the life and spirit of the believers and make them more powerful. However, Li Lin treated her as a daughter.
She has learned my ideas, absorbed my culture, and has a connection with me that is closer than blood ties. This is what a daughter is, right?
"It takes manpower to build a kingdom, and my apostles must also have more people. Gather your brothers and sisters, reunite them, and then turn this planet into your territory. You see, there are enough resources for you to squander, and there are enough dreams for you to pursue. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"...Aren't you going to be angry?"
The girl floating in mid-air seemed a little confused.
"You are a warrior of the Holy Light. Aren't you angry or helpless about my willful behavior? I am not an awakener of the Holy Light. I don't want to forgive or promise anything. I just want to kill those nobles—"
"So there's nothing wrong with that because I allow it. You're free to do whatever you want, that's all. I'm not going to force you to do anything."
"……I see."
After pondering for a while, the girl seemed to have figured something out, and her eyes were filled with grayish-white light.
"I will definitely bring your kingdom to the earth. Find ten righteous people, so that this planet will no longer be filled with sins and will be completely purified... I understand. I'm going, father."
The girl nodded with her faith strengthened, flapped her wings and turned into a ball of light.
As the strong smell of sulfur spread, only countless inexplicable crystals remained in the alley, as if telling what terrible things had happened in this box. The floating flames were also swaying in the void, watching the girl leave with a sigh of emotion.
"Well, that's a good sign."
It's good that the child can move. What's the big deal about destroying the planet? This is not a direct battlefield. Who cares if a few star souls and sinful monsters die?
Looking at the meteors streaking across the sky, Li Lin nodded, and the flames turned into thin lines that lingered in the surrounding houses, and randomly found a dead person to live in. This kind of thing was not surprising in the noble district. It was very convenient to walk out of the basement with the corpse, and then turned all the shouting guards into a group of squirming unknown things, wrapped up the clothes on their bodies, and blended into the night.
