The Warrior of Love

Jiang Liu can do the same thing, and even become stronger by combining powers!

However, the sword of light activated by Ravana is not a simple weapon, so it cannot be completely immune.

"It's so hard..."

Ravana flew back into the sky, his six wings spread out again. More particles fell from the light band and merged into his body. The aura he exuded became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he was not affected by Jiang Liu's previous attack.

After moving his arm, his right hand naturally "grew" back, and the great sword was also recreated by light particles.

Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene: Although Robana disliked him for being too tough, didn't he also hate the demon king's immortality?

"This body is so convenient." Jiang Liu sighed, "Those particles are really versatile."

"After all, it is the crystallization of human wisdom."

Ravana looked at the misty light particles lingering on his hands and smiled, not sure whether it was sadness or mockery.

"But if this is not the case, then humans will ..."

"Humanity will not perish, right?" Jiang Liu suddenly said.

The Rakshasa King was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Liu with a strange look, but he was soon relieved and then sneered.

"You actually guessed it? That's amazing."

"Correction, I didn't guess it, I solved it step by step... This puzzle is actually not very difficult, and you gave a hint."

"Uh..." Ravana was silent.

“The final trial of humanity… At first I thought it might be something like The Terminator or The Matrix—it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the movie.

This is one of the themes that often appear in science fiction works: "The Omnic Crisis". After all, the impression you give people is very similar.

However, you may simply be from the future, after all, the future crisis is not limited to robot rebellion. "

Jiang Liu looked at Lovana seriously, his eyes deep and bright.

"My intuition tells me... your true nature is actually hidden in the gift game you set up. Generally speaking, attention will be automatically drawn to the third victory condition. From those numbers, it is easy to associate it with Indian mythology and the demon king "Ravana". I believe you are also trying to get closer to that.

However, the most crucial information is not in the victory conditions, but in the annotation of "occupation"! "

"Heh!" Rakshasa King suddenly laughed, revealing a carefree and unrestrained expression. At the same time, the light bands in the sky accelerated their changing frequency.

Jiang Liu also smiled slightly, put away the flaming steel, and instead drew out the platinum-colored sword of salvation.

"【Second, if the land (outer gate) is completely surrounded, it will be considered as automatically occupied. The enemies in the territory will be considered "heresy" and their spiritual power will be weakened by two-thirds. The occupying party will be considered "orthodox (mankind)" and their spiritual power will be increased by two-thirds.】

——At first glance, it seems to be just a simple rule, but in fact it is not.

If you look carefully, you can find the inconsistency, because the semantics of "mankind" is actually "human being"... You know, your disgust for humans is obvious.

Also, you didn’t use “human” but “mankind”.

This word also has a general interpretation of "a collection of humans living in different eras", representing humans in the three stages of "past, present, and future". It makes people think that the humans you hate may be humans in one of these time periods.

The etymology of "heresy" is the Greek word "ηαιρεσισ", which originally means "choice"... When combined, it means "a heretic who makes a different choice."

Based on your words, actions and body structure, I speculate that you may be a "human" from the future who was persecuted as a heretic because you evolved into another life form, or... a "new human".

This is the essence of the Rakshasas race."

The sense of pressure coming from the sky became stronger and stronger. Something destructive was brewing. Jiang Liu's smile became brighter and brighter, and the magic sword in his hand began to shine brightly.

"Of course, if it's just for reasons like religious persecution, you can probably only get spiritual power at the level of "witch hunting". It's hard to understand why it has become the ultimate test for mankind.

So you have another secret, which is the connection with "Ravana": Why did you come in the name of this demon king?

The ten-headed demon king Ravana, also known as "Ravana" - the name of this war game.

In Hindi, its original meaning is "to make people cry with violence", and the greatest violence in human civilization is "war"!

Coincidentally, his image in mythology is also that of a leader of an alien race who is hostile to human heroes...

In other words, the fight between Rama and Ravana seems to be a fight for Sita, but in fact it reflects a war of annexation between countries and nations!

The myths of various countries seem to have this kind of mapping, which is not surprising.

From this perspective, [The Ravana] is actually a "war between different races", and at the end of the war one of the races is completely destroyed.

Then, the nature of your final test as a human being is about to be revealed...

In the future, the conflict between the evolved "new humans" and the "old humans" will eventually lead to the demise of civilization. This is the final and greatest violence in human history.

[Ethnic killing]! "

Chapter 1041: The Final Trial of Two Companion Humans

At first, all the conflicts seemed to explode overnight.

Religion, politics, geography, ethnicity, gender, age - in the blink of an eye, all "differences" can become reasons to attack others. Humans, who can neither understand nor coexist with each other, have once again staged something that is commonplace on the path of evolution, that is, the exclusion and killing of "aliens".

It is impossible to verify who is on the righteous side. The only thing we can know is a line of text engraved on the stone that was left as the tombstone of civilization:

No one will win

-

That is after another technological explosion, in the future when science and technology are highly developed, an era in which "human omnipotence" is praised all the time.

Primate civilization has never been so prosperous. Human beings have already set foot on Mars, and transforming the planet's surface into a habitable place has become the biggest issue of the new century.

However, such a prosperous era has encountered an irresistible disaster: due to the abnormal activity of solar storms, the Earth's ecosystem has been irreparably damaged and will continue to deteriorate in the foreseeable future.

Faced with a crisis that could wipe out humanity, people with lofty ideals began to seek solutions. The ultimate masterpiece created by the wisdom of the entire civilization was a mysterious particle called "Eve".

It has an energy conversion rate that almost violates the laws of thermodynamics. After gathering to a certain size, it can generate a special force field that is enough to withstand the radiation from outer space and buffer the effects of gravitational changes.

The most miraculous thing is that this particle can produce a wonderful resonance with the human body, bringing countless possibilities to the stagnant "evolution" path of mankind.

This is just an accidental product, and even the physicists who created it cannot explain its principle. It is like a spider silk dropped by gods to hell, giving mankind the only hope.

With it, the difficulty of exploring the universe is greatly reduced, and humans can truly enter the interstellar age. The gravity of the mother star will no longer be able to stop them.

So humans once again began to sing the praises of their own greatness, as if they no longer needed to worry about any "small" problems with the sun.

However, this miracle comes at a price: not everyone can unite with "Eve".

Relatively speaking, only a small number of humans can successfully merge with "Eve" and evolve into Adam.

This has nothing to do with physical fitness, wealth, or power; it is purely a matter of compatibility, or so-called "qualifications."

This kind of "qualification" cannot be artificially created because the true principle of Eve particles has not been successfully analyzed, and no one knows whether it comes from genes or other factors.

On one hand, there is the deteriorating environment and the majority of people who have no hope of escaping. On the other hand, there are the "chosen people of God" who have evolved and are ready to march into the universe.

As a result, opposition soon arose.

The old humans chose to pool all their resources to build an underground paradise that would last them through the "Age of Apocalypse", while the new humans chose to build satellite-class colony ships to leave their home planet and travel deeper into the universe in units of hundreds of years.

——These are two options that cannot coexist.

The old humans could not tolerate the new humans taking away their increasingly scarce resources from their home planet, and the new humans were unable to create colonial ships that the old humans could adapt to.

Small-scale wars have been going on. At first, they were just competing for resources to complete their own plans, but later, the resources invested and lost in the war far exceeded the share of the competition...

The war waged for continuation and survival has also turned into a confrontation between ideologies.

Eventually, the old humans won and wiped out all the new humans, but they also fell into a vicious cycle of resource shortages, and gradually declined before the shelter was built.

When it disappears, there is still some time before the "Age of Apocalypse" when solar storms reach their peak.

In other words, what really destroys humanity is not natural disasters, but their own "evil karma."

Jiang Liu considered the final trial represented by the Rakshasa King as "genocide", which was not wrong, but it could not generalize everything.

The killing of each other by the opposing races…is the result, not the cause.

If the emergence of new humans is the best interpretation of "survival of the fittest" and the "evolution" that will continue civilization into the future, it means that humans finally have hope of breaking through their original limitations and entering the next era.

Then, the war between the new and the old eliminated this possibility, and human beings themselves denied "evolution" and "the future."

Perhaps the winner is justice, but there is no winner in this war, and no one can overcome the test of "anti-evolution" and "genocide" that stands at the end of human history.

-

Jiang Liu didn't know all the details, but that didn't stop him from getting a glimpse into the nature of the Rakshasa King. He even had a vague sense of some connection between himself and the other party.

However, he had no more time to explore, because the moment he revealed the nature of humanity's final trial, the Rakshasa King had already "pulled" down the light band in the sky.

The brilliant light flickers in the sky, as fascinating as a sea of ​​stars, but behind this beauty is a huge amount of heat that can burn the earth's surface.

hum!hum!hum!

Even if he entered the super speed state, he could not dodge, because it was indiscriminate destruction... and Jiang Liu happened to not have thought of dodging.

“Divine sword!”

Jiang Liu uttered these two words firmly and clearly, and raised the platinum blade in his hand high. A dazzling and slender straight line tore through the earth, cut through the light and shadow, and finally turned into a slash of light that counterattacked the sky!

boom!

The two lights of different natures collided with each other, and the massive torrent instantly engulfed the platinum blade...

But this is not the end!

Zheng!

The incomparably pure sword light cut through the shackles of the torrent, like a flying fish riding the wind and waves, it went upstream with the melodious sound of swords, and finally cut the entire Sea of ​​Stars in two!

"Is this your full strength?!"

Jiang Liu, with his upper body exposed, jumped out from the stream of light, holding the divine sword tightly in both hands, and slashed down fiercely at the Rakshasa King from top to bottom.

"Then you have no chance."

Clang!

The Rakshasa King raised his heavy sword to resist it, but the next moment he felt an overwhelming force crushing him. The heavy sword shattered instantly, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably and hit the ground heavily.

At this moment, Jiang Liu, who activated the "Cancer" protection and the "Dragon" solar sovereignty at the same time, felt an unprecedented power filling his body.

"The savior thunder!"

Transforming the divine weapons into fuel for thunder and combining them with the thunder and lightning power of the God King, Jiang Liu swung his sword suddenly. A thunder that looked like a blue dragon but was far more terrifying than that fell down, instantly piercing through the surface of the earth and annihilating all matter including the Rakshasa King!

Only a circular crater with a diameter of several thousand meters and a completely melted edge was left...

Chapter 1042: I will defeat you!

hum!

Red light particles were attracted from the air and gradually gathered at the bottom of the crater, re-emerging the appearance of the Rakshasa King.

He closed his eyes tightly. Although he regained consciousness, he did not continue to fight with Jiang Liu immediately. Instead, he was thinking about something.

The slender human figure floated in the magma, but the Demon King ignored the scorching heat. Although he was just after a fierce battle, he felt inexplicably calm.

I was defeated... I don't know how many times this has happened.

Looking back, I have never won a battle with this man since the first time we met. Although I did not use my full strength at that time, I believe that even if I had tried my best, the result would not have changed.

It's not that he has always been without opponents. In fact, his power was not that strong at the beginning. He gradually became what he is today by conquering outer gates one by one and expanding his own spiritual power.

This is his authority as the organizer: to use the "resources" at his disposal to increase the spiritual power and use it to launch a war game.

"Resources" can be land, population, energy, weapons...that's why his growth rate is so fast.

The spiritual power of the demon king Ravana allows him to "at least not lose" when facing most of the strong people in the small garden.

Moreover, when the intelligence was not leaked, they swallowed up the elite of the "Sky Army" in one fell swoop, and jumped to three-digit level.

He has suffered setbacks in this process, but at his rate of growth, these setbacks will soon become nothing more than a decoration.

Jiang Liu is the only exception...

This was already the third time the two had fought, and King Rakshasa still didn't see any chance of winning.

Strength, technology, spirituality, compatibility, wisdom... He could not find any weaknesses that could be targeted. Instead, he would be restrained by Jiang Liu. The effects of many of his abilities were greatly reduced. It was like fate was playing a joke on him.

And what is different from the previous two times is that the war game has now begun. This is a gift competition recognized by the Box Garden Center. King Luosha took this opportunity to put the battlefield in his hometown and fight against the isolated Jiang Liu in the strongest state.

But because of this, according to the rules, he no longer has any way to retreat.

So it goes without saying that instead of having the capital occupied and watching oneself lose, it is better to burn everything and give it one last try with all one's might!
