Chapter 85 The Struggle of the Human Heart: Reality and Ideals

Liu Yufei's mechanical and imposing voice immediately echoed throughout Laputa, while Muska in the control room stared wide-eyed in fear.

"No, no, that bastard!!"

Then came the hysterical outburst. Liu Yufei's lines were just for show, but Muska didn't think so. He assumed Liu Yufei also wanted to be emperor. Of course, Muska's guess wasn't entirely wrong.

"Mr. Della!"

Seeing this, Shida murmured to herself, but this time she didn't call Liu Yufei "brother," since that "brother" might not have been sincere. Meanwhile, Balu and Dora, seeing that Liu Yufei had taken the initiative, cheered and came out of the Tiger's cabin.

"Hey!! Mr. Liu!! Hahaha!!"

When Balu saw these imposing robots, he immediately knew that Sheeta was saved, so he laughed excitedly, and Charles and the others behind him waved their hats excitedly as well.

Dora, though still looking disdainful, felt much relieved. Not only them, but the remaining soldiers who hadn't made it onto the ship and were hiding in the castle also emerged, thinking they were finally saved!

Looking at the jubilant screen, Shida shouted:

"Muska, your scheme will not succeed. Prepare yourself!!"

"you!!"

Muska could no longer maintain her composure. She grabbed Sheeta by the collar and was about to slap her when Liu Yufei's voice came from the big screen.

"Purge, defend Laputa! Be loyal to our King!"

At this moment, Liu Yufei's right hand was tilted at a forty-five-degree angle to the sky, and the Mass march "The Mass" echoed in the air. He was overjoyed and thought to himself:

"Eww!! This is so cringeworthy, so embarrassing! I never thought a robot's body would have built-in speakers. I won't have to carry a box around anymore!!"

Last time with the Fluorescent Giant, the music was played through speakers, but it was enhanced by divine power. Now it's different. Liu Yufei himself is a portable music player, and he can play music for himself anytime, anywhere.

Whoosh...bang...

At Liu Yufei's command, all the robots opened fire on the surviving soldiers, and instantly there were screams. The soldiers who had just escaped from their cover immediately hid back inside.

But the robot immediately went into search mode, and Shida was also full of surprise when she saw what was happening.

"How could this happen?! No, no!!"

But Musca, who was initially furious, became wildly excited upon seeing this scene!

"Hmph hmph hmph... Hahaha... Hahaha..."

He laughed so wildly, so maniacally, as if he were still the ultimate victor. In a sense, Musca had indeed succeeded the moment Liu Yufei chose to fire.

The sky pirates below were stunned when they saw Liu Yufei choose to attack. Although the robots did not attack them, Balu stared blankly at the sky, then filled with boundless anger and courage, and snatched the grenade launcher from Dora's hand.

"Name-lo, baka..."

boom...

A cloud of smoke exploded on Liu Yufei's chest. No one expected Balu to shoot Liu Yufei directly. Liu Yufei's mechanical eyes turned to the ground, his gaze filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Why did he attack me? Wasn't I helping him? This NPC is being disobedient!

But looking at Balu's resolute eyes below, Liu Yufei seemed to understand. He was Balu, the protagonist, and firing the gun was the right thing to do.

This interrupted Liu Yufei's speech, and his body slowly floated down. The sky pirates thought Liu Yufei was going to attack Balu, so they rushed forward to protect Balu.

Liu Yufei landed slowly on the ground. Baru's gun was out of bullets. Charles stepped forward, straightened his chest, and assumed a boxer's stance.

"You bastard, wanna fight?"

"Charles, my friend, what are you doing?"

Liu Yufei smiled and spoke in a friendly tone, which made Charles even more puzzled.

Seeing Charles's puzzled expression, Liu Yufei became even more curious and asked:

"What did I do wrong this time? Pazu, we need to go save Princess Sheeta now!"

Seeing Liu Yufei's gentle demeanor, the air pirates exchanged bewildered glances and immediately came to the conclusion that this guy must be suffering from some serious illness. You've witnessed such a horrific tragedy, and you still don't realize you've made a mistake?

Liu Yufei immediately ordered all the robots to stop and come to protect them. Balu gritted his teeth, still looking at Liu Yufei with some resentment, but Liu Yufei didn't say anything more and turned to walk up.

While Balu was still resentful, Dora pushed him from behind, and Balu had no choice but to follow. At this moment, although he hated Liu Yufei, saving Shida was the priority.

Liu Yufei's steps were slow, clearly he was deliberately waiting for Balu. Balu soon reached the steel corridor. Liu Yufei turned around, startling Balu. Liu Yufei appeared in front of Balu with lightning speed and punched him on the head.

Why did you shoot me?

Liu Yufei originally didn't want to take it to heart, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After throwing the punch, he felt much better.

"Hiss, you bastard..."

The pain made Baru grimace, but seeing Liu Yufei's puzzled expression, he finally realized that this person's values ​​were definitely different from his own. However, expecting Liu Yufei to understand immediately was clearly impossible.

Looking at the wall in front of him, Liu Yufei couldn't see anything unusual before, but now, with his right eye scanning, he immediately discovered the hidden door.

As the mechanical right hand emitted a red light, the hidden door opened. Balu, who was watching this amazing scene, was not surprised and rushed in first.

“Hida…”

Pazu's shouts instantly echoed throughout the empty castle, and Sheeta, the most important person in the castle, naturally heard them as well.

"Baru..."

This time, Musca didn't stop him. His gaze became extremely calm as he looked at Liu Yufei and the other person on the screen. He moved the levitation stone in his hand towards the table. Xida, thinking he was about to attack again, immediately shouted:

"don't want..."

Muska slowly turned to look at Sheeta, then gave a wicked smile. He didn't use the internal facilities to attack because he knew it would be useless. Instead, he used the levitation stone to open the door leading here.

At this moment, Liu Yufei also transformed back into human form, and the two quickly arrived at the control room via the passage.

“Hida…”

"Baru..."

The two boys ran towards each other, while Liu Yufei watched Muska curiously in the distance. Neither of them had the mind to appreciate this touching scene.

"Mr. Dela, you're finally back. Did you come to admire Laputa's outstanding technology?"

"Muska, you've lost, you've utterly failed!!"

"Haha, failure? I've never known what failure means. I feel like this is just the beginning."

Liu Yufei ignored Muska and slowly walked to Shida's side, bending down to say:

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with this traitor, Muska?"

Hida hadn't expected Liu Yufei to ask her directly, but instead of answering his question, she said in a tearful voice:

Why kill those people?

Liu Yufei hadn't expected Xida to question him so immediately, but he still calmly replied:

“Your Majesty, I take your safety as my own responsibility. Those mortals are born like ants, die like dust, and their lives are as worthless as grass. They are not worthy of your tears. Under the holy light of you, they should feel fortunate.”

Pazu and Sheeta stared at Liu Yufei in shock. Was this guy even human? Sheeta already thought Muska was inhuman, but Liu Yufei's outrageous remarks were even more insane.

Muska's worst crime was murder. Although she felt immense pleasure from it, she knew it was wrong. It was precisely because of this wrongness that Muska was able to obtain that kind of distorted pleasure.

But Liu Yufei was different. Not only did he not think he was wrong, but he also wanted these people to thank him. What kind of logic is that?

"Sokka... Hmph hmph hmph..."

Muska was also taken aback when he heard Liu Yufei's words, but then he suddenly realized something and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He finally knew where the difference between him and Liu Yufei lay.

Although Musca proclaimed herself a god and looked down on the people on earth, deep down she still regarded them as her own kind. She would derive pleasure from slaughtering her own kind and find joy in breaking rules and morality.

But aren't these precisely the things that constrain human nature? To violate them is to be inhumane.

Muska has always aspired to be a god who is high above, surrounded by countless halos under the worshipful gaze of humans, but is only a god in the eyes of humans.

Liu Yufei, on the other hand, viewed everyone equally and did not consider these people as his own kind. He treated them as if they were annihilating a group of ants. After all, who would feel guilty or happy about stepping on ants?

It was only after understanding this that Muska had that sudden realization, while Sheeta and Pazu realized that Laputa, no matter which of them it fell into, would be a disaster for the world.

"No, I won't give you the flying stone!!"

Clearly, Hida had misunderstood Liu Yufei, so Liu Yufei could only gently explain:

"Your Majesty, the Flying Stone is yours, and no one can take it away. Laputa will shine with glory once again in your hands. This is your mission and your responsibility."

Even at this moment, Liu Yufei didn't forget to manipulate her mindset. Through his words, it was as if the initiative was always in Xida's hands, and Xida looked at the flying stone in her hand with some confusion.

"Shida... you bastard..."

Hida, of course, wouldn't be seduced by desire, but Balu misunderstood, yelling and pushing Liu Yufei away. Liu Yufei, however, wasn't angry and continued to patiently persuade her:

“Lord Baru, if that’s the case, you can stay in Laputa forever with His Majesty and never have to return to the surface again. Or, you can return to the surface as a prince, and at that time, Zha Valley will be your fief.”

Liu Yufei was afraid that Balu had never even heard of such a big place, so he had no choice but to mention Zha Gu. After all, what man doesn't dream of returning home in glory?
