Volume 8: A Trip to the Sick Village Chapter 384: A Madman's Speech
"But we are different!" His voice rose several degrees, "We are not rats, we are the chosen ones, we hold the key to a higher level, unlike them, who can only stay in the dark and damp sewers forever!"
His face was filled with enthusiasm, his hands raised above his head, his fingers stretched out in anger, waving his arms vigorously: "Do you understand? I... and you, we, are the future of this inferior race, humans!"
He went on to say: "So-called civilization is just a ridiculous game of house! This universe is essentially the same as the primitive jungle on Earth where few people have ever been. The law of the jungle is the only rule in this world!
This world is inherently cruel. Every civilization needs to continue to grow and expand, but the total amount of resources in the universe is constant. If you want your civilization to survive, you have to make yourself stronger!"
He put down his arms and took a breath: "Ke Lan, do you think that with the current strength of mankind, we can compete with other civilizations in this universe?
Too slow! Whether it is the development of science and technology or the evolution of human beings, it is too slow!
They can't even communicate effectively with other civilizations, so how can they guarantee that other civilizations will show mercy to humans?
Without power, everything is just a bunch of bubbles that will burst at the slightest poke. Other civilizations will not reason with humans. Once humans are discovered by other civilizations, the only thing that awaits them is enslavement... or complete destruction.
Don't expect negotiations. Negotiations and agreements only exist between equal civilizations... Just imagine, would humans agree to sign a 'Pig Rights Convention' with livestock in pig farms?
Humanity... is doomed to perish. And we will create a new civilization that is countless times more powerful than humanity!"
"Clap. Clap. Clap." Ke Lan clapped her hands expressionlessly. "It's a wonderful speech, but it's not attractive or convincing to me."
"Why?" The man looked at Ke Lan, with a hint of anger between his eyebrows.
"There is a fatal flaw in your speech, didn't you notice it?" Ke Lan shrugged and simply sat down on the ground, crossing his legs. At this time, the flesh membrane on the ground timely raised a bulge like a chair back, allowing Ke Lan to lean his back on it.
"Thank you." Ke Lan nodded slightly to Chiron, then turned his gaze back to the man , "You keep saying you want to be a 'god', but so far, what have you done besides creating a 'false god' for those idiots to worship?"
"Let's put it another way," Ke Lan continued, "you said you could create a powerful new civilization, a new civilization that could survive the oppression of all civilizations in the universe... I'm wondering, where on earth did you get the courage to say such a thing? Did Fish Leong lend you the courage?"
“…”
"I know you must be very curious about who Fish Leong is, but I also know that you would be too embarrassed to ask given your status, so why don't I take the initiative to tell you that this is a pop music from the old era..."
"I have no interest in this person. If you want to refute my point of view, don't use this garbage to brush me off." The man interrupted Ke Lan's introduction very unhappily.
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the point." Ke Lan waved her hand, "You said you and I are the same kind, so I will use my own abilities as a reference -"
Ke Lan did not hide anything. With Chiron here, his secrets were almost all transparent. And as the founder of a heretical sect, he must know his abilities very well.
"First of all, you and I both know the language of the Alpha civilization. Even though we are the only two people among tens of millions of humans who know this 'foreign language', for the Alpha civilization, language is only a basic survival skill, right? And you also said that in a war between civilizations, language is completely useless. It's impossible for them not to destroy you just because you write great poems and songs, right?"
"So, language ability can basically be ignored."
"Secondly, it's about... Oh, by the way, as the leader of the heretic sect, I want to ask you first, how much do you know about the thing you dug out from Manstein's stomach?"
"That is a very special crystal, and it even has the ability to interfere with time and space." The man stared at Ke Lan and said, "We originally planned to fuse it into a 'semi-finished product' left over from the Alpha civilization, but we didn't expect you to ruin it and even take the thing away from us."
"Oh, you know all this?" Ke Lan pretended to be a little nervous. "I thought I almost let it slip. Since you know the thing is with me, I don't have any scruples."
"This thing is quite magical. Not only can it interfere with time and space, it can even transform the human body to a certain extent. If it were placed in an MMORPG game, it would definitely be a golden legendary treasure... However, if you use this thing as a bargaining chip to measure the goal in your speech just now..."
"Then my evidence for this is just two words." Ke Lan showed a sly smile and tilted his head, "That's it?"
"That's it?!" The man repeated what Ke Lan said, "What... do you mean?"
"Whether it's the 'semi-finished product', or this legendary magical crystal, or even the powerful 'primordial species', these things are all creations of the Alpha civilization, isn't that right?" Ke Lan said, "But even the Alpha civilization that created these things has perished. How can you, who is just parroting others' words, say these things without any shame?"
"You are just like those small countries in the old era, who emptied their pockets to ask their neighbors to buy a few discarded airplanes, and then wanted to challenge the world hegemon without knowing the sky is high and the earth is deep... You are even more stupid than such small countries... At least on Earth, those big countries, under pressure from public opinion, will not destroy such small countries just because of a few words. But in a war between civilizations, if you jump into it like this, I'm afraid you will only die sooner, right?"
"Ignorance!" The man seemed to have been touched by Ke Lan's sore spot, and he pointed at Ke Lan and cursed, "You can just stand on the side of these inferior races. Time will prove who is right among us!"
"It's a pity that both of you may never see that day." Just as he said this, countless black tentacles pierced the skin of his right arm and grew out. These tentacles entangled together, wrapping his entire right arm, and finally formed a conical weapon shaped like a spear.
