The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2320

That's right.

If Gol were so easy to kill, he wouldn't have earned the title of Godslayer. Those beasts in the Pantheon may be a bit useless, but they're not so incapable of killing.

The problem is, he's not easy to kill.

To kill Gale, you must first deal with the Black Death Sword, whether by destroying the Black Death Sword or separating Gale from it!
Of course, the latter is more feasible.

After all, the Black Death Sword is, to some extent, a divine artifact!
Moreover, it was one of the earliest artifacts, appearing before any life forms of flesh and blood had even been born in the universe.

Destroying the Black Death Sword is extremely difficult.

Of course, no one, including Gale, knew that now was precisely the best time to destroy the Black Death Sword. With artifacts, besides their inherent qualities at creation, the most crucial factor is the wielder. For example, Thor's hammer is completely different in Odin's hands and in Thor's.

Even the situation is different in Thor's hands and in Hela's hands.

Otherwise, Hela wouldn't have been able to crush Thor's hammer with a single blow. This is also why Thor's hammer dislikes him—because he's too weak, causing the hammer to be crushed by his bare hands.

Similarly, the Black Death Sword is a completely different thing in Gnar's hands versus in Gale's hands.

Previously, despite Gale wielding the Black Death Sword, the one who truly controlled it was still Gnar. Of course, Gnar was still sealed away, and he didn't have the ability to fully control it. He could only indirectly influence Gale through painful manipulation, and then control the Black Death Sword. It sounds like a pointless exercise, but there was no other way.

The Black Death Sword was always just a sword. From the very beginning of its forging, Gnar never intended it to fight alone; it was a weapon.

It needs a user to wave it.

Even so, the Black Death Sword remained in Gnar's control.

Unfortunately, they were too ambitious and planned to create a super bomb to kill all the gods, including the celestial beings, hoping to solve the problem once and for all.

As a result, the Living Tribunal cheated to deal with Earth. This caused the Celestial Core, which should have been extremely weak, to immediately recover the moment it was freed. As a result, Gale and Black Death Sword, who had just died, were immediately severely injured. At that time, Gnar had to use all his power to protect Gnar... It wasn't that Gnar really liked Gale that much; to Gnar, Gale was just a tool.

The problem is that the Celestials are right in front of him. If he ignores them and Ger dies, the Black Death Sword will be completely exposed to the Celestials. At that time, his little tricks in the seal will also be exposed.

He didn't believe the Celestials would ignore this.

If it really comes to that, Nar's life will be even more difficult.

The Celestial Gods will spend countless efforts to strengthen the seal again and again!

Then there will truly be no hope of ever getting ahead!

As a result, this attack injured Nar.

Ultimately, what emerged with the Black Death Sword was only a small part of Gnar's will, and even its connection to the main body was like a signal affected by something, sometimes working and sometimes not. Now it's completely extinguished.

As a result, the Black Death Sword also suffered hidden damage under the enormous energy impact.

That would have been fine.

Anyway, as time goes by, this minor injury will heal immediately, and even Nar's will will gradually return over time, at which point everything will be back on track!
That's what Nar had been thinking.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Geer's subjective initiative.

This led to Goll finding the Altar of Eternity himself!

If Nar knew this, he'd probably slap himself twice. Why the hell did you have to be so talkative and tell him about the Eternal Altar?

Isn't this just a case of having too much time on their hands?!

Nar's original plan was that if he could find the Altar of Eternity, it would be simple: he could just make a wish to wipe out all life in the universe and return it to nothingness!
As for how eternity would fulfill this wish, Nar didn't care at all.

Even if he himself were to be eliminated, Nar wouldn't care.

He himself represents nothingness; before the formation of matter in the universe, he had no concept of 'self'.

Self-awareness, also known as the self, is the perception of one's own existence, that is, the self's understanding of everything about oneself, including one's physiological condition, psychological characteristics, and relationships with nature and others. In short, self-awareness is the self's understanding of all aspects of one's physical and mental state, especially those related to the external world. Self-awareness includes not only an individual's understanding and experience of their various physical and mental states, but also their understanding, experience, and desires regarding their relationship with the surrounding environment. In terms of content, self-awareness can be divided into the physiological self, social self, and psychological self. The physiological self refers to an individual's understanding and experience of their own body and physiological condition. The social self refers to an individual's understanding and experience of their relationship with external things. The psychological self refers to an individual's understanding of their own psychological attributes. From the perspective of self-image, self-awareness can be divided into the real self, the projected self, and the ideal self. The real self is the understanding of the actual self; the projected self is the self-image an individual imagines others will have of them; the ideal self is the self an individual desires to achieve. From the perspective of psychological processes, self-awareness can be divided into three aspects: self-knowledge, self-experience, and self-regulation. Self-knowledge is the subjective self's understanding and evaluation of the objective self. Self-experience is the subjective emotional experience I have of myself in relation to my objective self. Self-control is the control one exercisees over one's own behavior, thoughts, and words in order to achieve desired goals.

In the realm of philosophy, the concept of "self-consciousness" has always been a subject of much attention and discussion. Whether it's Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" in Western philosophy or the concept of "unity of knowledge and action" in Eastern philosophy, both regard "self-consciousness" as a crucial key to understanding individual existence. However, to clearly understand self-consciousness, we must first clarify what "I" and "self" truly represent. They are not empty philosophical terms, but rather tangible experiences in our lives. This article will begin by exploring the connotation of self-consciousness, analyzing the relationship between "self" and "I," and exploring how to gain a profound understanding of subjective will through self-reflection. Through these philosophical reflections, we can help ourselves better understand ourselves, our motivations, and our behaviors.

In daily life, we often say, "I want to reflect on myself." This statement seems simple on the surface, but if we think about it more deeply, we will find that it hides a complex philosophical question. First, we need to figure out what "I" and "self" actually represent.

In this statement, "I," as the subject, represents the initiator of action and the experiencer of consciousness. "Self," as the object, represents the object of reflection. The essence of self-awareness lies in recognizing and perceiving this reflected "self" through the subject's reflective behavior—this "self" is not an abstract existence, but is closely connected to the individual's actual behavior and consciousness. To understand this, we can use the fourfold root system to help clarify the concepts. This system consists of four parts: subjective consciousness, sensibility, understanding, and reason. Subjective consciousness corresponds to the individual's consciousness, motivation, and will; sensibility is the perception of the external world; understanding is the causal law of human cognition; and reason helps the individual form abstract concepts and thoughts. From this perspective, "I" represents subjective consciousness, which involves our self-cognition, emotional fluctuations, and inner motivation. "Self," on the other hand, refers to subjective will, the willpower we exhibit in action and thought. In short, "I" is the initiator of action, while "self" is the performer of action.

Self-awareness plays a crucial role in an individual's life. It is not only a tool for perceiving the external world, but also a window into understanding our own emotions, behaviors, and motivations. The core function of self-awareness is to faithfully reflect the state of the subject's will, a reaction usually expressed through emotions.

For example, when we are sick, our emotions are often affected, making us feel down, irritable, or depressed. These emotional fluctuations are actually a reflection of our subjective will state by our self-awareness. Self-awareness does not actively intervene in our motivations and behaviors; it is merely a "detector," promptly reporting our psychological state and emotional changes. Emotions often arise because a desire is not satisfied or is threatened, thus they are a manifestation of our subjective will state. However, self-awareness itself does not possess the ability to self-regulate; it merely passively reacts to and records fluctuations in our subjective will. In other words, self-awareness is like a loyal steward, constantly recording the "young master's" state—faithful, but sometimes foolish and simplistic. Therefore, when reflecting on ourselves, we should not simply focus on the emotions themselves, but rather on the subjective will behind them, exploring why we experience such emotional fluctuations and what the essence of emotions truly is.

We often interpret ourselves through emotion and reason. Emotion is information acquired through external senses, while reason is understanding through abstract thinking and concepts. However, relying solely on these two to understand the subject's will often leads to bias, because their scope and methods of cognition are limited.

Sensibility allows us to perceive the external world and capture internal physiological and emotional responses. It is a very intuitive way of cognition, usually perceived through the five senses, and can also be used to perceive changes within the body through internal senses. For example, when we are anxious, our heart rate increases and our breathing becomes rapid—these are all sensory reactions. However, sensory responses to emotions are usually vague and incomplete; we cannot accurately understand our inner motivations and desires solely through sensory perception. Reason, on the other hand, uses concepts and abstract thinking to understand things, helping us construct a cognitive framework of the world. Through the analysis of external things, reason forms our rational understanding of the world. However, reason also has its limitations, especially when facing complex inner motivations. Reason often falls into subjective conjecture and the influence of external conditions, making it difficult to fully and truthfully present the inner essence of the subject's will. To deeply understand oneself, sensibility and reason are not enough. Truly understanding the subject's will requires insight. Insight is a profound cognitive ability that not only relies on sensory and rational responses to the external world but also uses causality to discern inner motivations and desires.

Insight helps us transcend the limitations of emotion and reason to observe and analyze the motivations behind our actions. Through insight, we can understand the choices we make in a given situation and how these choices align with our inner will. For example, when making a decision, insight helps us understand the fundamental motivation behind it—whether it's based on the satisfaction of a desire or a reaction to a situation. In fact, insight is often clearest in action. Our subjective will truly manifests itself when we translate our inner motivations into actual behavior. Action is the most direct expression of subjective will, while emotion and reason merely reflect the outward appearance of these behaviors. True self-understanding is not achieved through mere thought or perception, but through action—by confronting reality and demonstrating our will.

When we say, "I want to reflect on myself," we are actually saying that we need to understand our own subjective will by reflecting on our past behavior. Behavior is not merely an outward action; it profoundly reflects an individual's inner will and motivation. Every choice, every decision, every emotional fluctuation is part of the subjective will.

However, common reflections often remain at the level of superficial moral judgment, such as "I made a mistake, I won't do it again." Such reflections often neglect a deeper exploration of the subjective will behind the behavior. True reflection should involve understanding the desires, motivations, and inner conflicts behind one's actions, thereby gradually gaining self-awareness in the process. For example, if a person commits an improper act due to jealousy, reflection should begin with the root of the jealousy, rather than simply judging whether the behavior conforms to moral standards. We need to understand what aroused the emotion of jealousy, and what unmet desires or deep-seated psychological needs lie behind it. Only in this way can we truly touch upon the essence of the subjective will.

The essence of creating the Dark God Nal is nothingness.

Therefore, what his self-awareness seeks is a return to nothingness!
His emotions, his pursuits, everything about him exists because of this.

He doesn't care whether he is destroyed or not, as long as the universe returns to nothingness, that's enough.

But Ger would never do that.

He wanted revenge, that's true, but he never thought about destroying the universe!
His most extreme wish is probably to exterminate all the gods... Thor and Asgard might suffer greatly, but all other living beings in the universe would be fine.

Even Nar suffered the biggest loss.

After all, he was also a member of the gods. What if he died? And the universe would remain the same... wouldn't that be a huge loss?

He doesn't care about his own destruction, but that's something that happens after the entire universe is destroyed.
