Chapter 342 Awakening! Brilliant Knight 4
Zero is not a saint. Although he has power that ordinary people don't have, he has also seen a wonderful world that ordinary people don't know. But the more he knew, the more confused he felt. The initial confusion originated from power and evolution. I still remember that when Asgard participated in the recruit training camp, Zero was afraid of power when he learned that he had the golden right eye known as the "thing of God".
Continuous evolution to gain more and stronger abilities and power. However, what will the end of this road get? Can he be called a human at that time? Or to put it more simply, was zero or zero at that time?
That was the first time he was confused about his own path.
And now, it's the second time.
If life or death are placed on ordinary people in the old days, perhaps no one is willing to let go of this opportunity of rebirth. But after experiencing all kinds of zero in the new era, I became confused about survival for the first time.
Is survival really better than death?
Not necessarily.
The living means that they will carry more things. When he was alive, Zero did not realize this, perhaps out of instinct, or maybe Zero avoided some problems by himself. But when he could choose to die this time, Zero felt tired. Live and keep fighting. And with the same kind and aliens, the road of evolution means endless killing. Even if you can finally sit on the supreme throne, the road will be covered with blood and corpses.
Zero is not lacking in this quality of decisiveness. Zero guns will never hesitate when needed. But will such a lifestyle be happy?
Confused. The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt.
"Alive." Agradis, who has the same face as Zero, said, "Why does life have to live desperately? No matter how difficult the environment is, you have to live desperately. Have you ever thought about this question?
After meditating for a moment, Zero spit out two words from his mouth: "Instinct."
"Yes, instinct. The instinct of life is survival, which is the deepest imprint engraved in life and in genes, and implements the end of life. Agradis stroked casually, and light generated in the void. In the light, many shadows passed by. There are animals, human beings, and life of different races, and they or they have left countless traces of life on this planet: "But zero, is survival really so simple? I don't think so. Don't you think it's too sad to live such a life?
With a slight shock, Agradis's words seemed to touch the softness somewhere in his heart.
"Zero, do you have faith?" Agradis asked again.
This is a familiar question for Zero, and he was once asked in Asgatriben. Now, Zero is still the answer: "No, I don't believe in any gods."
"God?" Agradis shook his head and said, "The object of faith is not necessarily a god, it can be a belief. And more often, it is the meaning or reason to live!"
Zero opened his eyes wide and looked seriously at the man with the same face as himself for the first time.
Agradis is like a tutor and a knowledgeable scholar. He stretched out his hand and the scene in the light ball changed again. Two deer appeared in the glory, one is a mother and the other is a child. They live freely on the grassland. The picture is so beautiful that the sunset dyes the grassland with touching colors. However, night fell and death came quietly.
In the dark, a lion rushed out of the grass and rushed to the young deer with its teeth and claws.
The lion, the hegemon of the grassland. Whenever she sees such a beast, the female deer will turn around and run away. Its speed and physical ability are enough to get rid of the hungry lion. However, it chose to meet the lion and was eventually bitten off by the lion.
When she was dying, the kind eyes of the female deer flowed clear**. In the depths of the pupil, the figure of the young deer is reflected. Although it is dead, the lion that has eaten enough will no longer attack the young deer. It will exchange its death for the child's chance to survive.
The picture ends.
"Zero, tell me why the great mother did this?" Agradis asked softly.
Zero was silent, and after a long time, he replied, "For the continuation of life!"
"You're right." Agradis nodded and said, "The continuation of life is the most basic belief of animals and even human beings. Let your descendants live, even if they fight for their own lives, which is one of the beautiful qualities in life. But the meaning of life is much more than that, in a difficult environment. For example, in this new era, it may be difficult for a person to live, but a group of people can. Do you know what that is?"
Without waiting for zero answer, Agradis replied for him: "It's mutual assistance, mutual encouragement, and a tie."
"The ties between people, companions and companions, mothers and children, young and old... Zero, many times, life does not live for itself. More is for other things we care about, or care about us. It is precisely because of the ties of these people that they can't give up easily. Just like you, can you give up on them easily?
With the words of Agradis, another picture is generated in front of Zero. In the picture, there are several people fighting. They rushed to Emil again and again. Although there was no sound in the picture, Zero heard their shouts from their expression.
"Why do they desperately attack a life with no chance of winning?" Agradis said softly, "It's also for the sake of fling, zero. For the sake of your bond with them, in order not to make your death meaningless! This is the greatness of human beings, or all life. Because of the frailment, no matter how weak the life is, it also has the courage to challenge the existence on the pyramid. Just like the female deer, knowing that she would die, she would rush to the lion. So zero, do you still choose to die? If so, I respect your choice."
After saying that, Agradis took a step back and quietly waited for the zero choice.
Is it a tie?
Zero tried his best to recall when he had a companion. There is no doubt that it is in Asgard. But is that true?
No!
I remember waking up from a deep sleep two years ago. On the road to Silvertree City, the cheerful man shouted to himself: We are companions!
After leaving the Z7 base, the girl who gave everything for herself!
The time was calculated by Claude, and the female swordsman who unexpectedly came to rescue her!
When he went to the north, the strong child with long silver hair followed him all the way!
Zero suddenly found that he had had all kinds of companions from a long time ago, and it was because of them that Zero came to the present. After coming to Asgard, Zero met more people.
Maple, Ma Pei, Jonah, Johnny, Agatha! Even made him disgusted at first, but in the end he firmly stayed to fight against the strong enemy.
Countless faces flashed through Zero's mind one by one, and finally, he heard a voice.
"Do you remember my taste? As long as you still remember me, I won't really die."
is Agatha's last words.
Death means letting go of everything, and more so, forgetting. But can I forget everything? Or, am I willing to forget them? Those lovely people, can I really forget them?
"No, if survival itself is a battle." Zero clenched his fist, raised his head and shouted at Agradis, "Then I will never be a deserter. Instinct or tie-in. Agradis, let me go back!"
In Zero's right eye, I don't know when the golden flame burned again!
