Chapter 16 People who want to change the world(2/2)
"Surrender, Mikhail."
Regarding the bounty hunter who was in silence, the second prince said magnanimously: "After I become the emperor, I will change this empire and bring a new order to this land-I don't have to hide it from you. If Zhuzhou hadn't suddenly left alone, the Maiya family in the north was also my ally, and there was also a dragon ball holder, and I gave her dragon ball in secret, and I would never mind joining my own."
"Apart from you, Vika who represents the church, and the young man in the mountain who accidentally got the dragon ball, I have already obtained four dragon balls. The boy in the mountain is the first to die, and Zhuzhou who left alone is seriously injured. It is not worth worrying that you and Vika are the only remaining threats."
He said softly, for many years, the second prince, who has been treating others with a frivolous appearance, but secretly collected four dragon balls, showed a wise look. He confidently persuaded: "Join my subordinates and let us change this empire and the world together!"
"I vow to the ancestors that the life of Kumoor Kerba will strive to make this country better!"
The oath is sonorous and powerful.
In a world where the ancestors still have miracles, no one dares to betray the oath made in the name of the ancestors. This is the oath of the gods destined to keep the covenant.
Everything was silent.
The giant Leviathan stared at the gray-haired man standing on the mountainside.
The middle-aged veteran, the strongest bounty hunter, lowered his head in a daze.
——Why did I come here to participate in this war of fighting for wishes?
Isn’t it just to change this country and the world?
He was familiar with both of Kumore and Matteway. Although he could say a bitter irony, it was precisely because they had experienced the hell twenty years ago that he understood that the other party's beliefs were never false.
Although the methods you want to use in this country are different, the goals are the same. As long as you have the blessings and wishes of the ancestors, all the difficulties can be overcome.
At this moment, Mikhail suddenly recalled the battlefield of the past. A comrade in his army was worse than death because of meaningless wars. He was powerless and could only pick up the blade and free them.
The world should not be like this. He was roaring in his heart at that time. As a soldier, he felt that war and death were not unacceptable, but it should not be like this war and such death.
Mikhail still remembers the way Matvi cried after being rescued. The young priest asked everyone bitterly and sadly. He asked, was this painful and tormenting thing the ancestors created the purpose of all beings?
At that time, Mikhail's answer in his heart was naturally "no".
Because he remembered the answer in his heart that day, he felt that people who would shed such tears might be worthy of believing.
Above the sky, the silent prince and the always calm priest looked down at each other, waiting for the other's answer.
“The last question.”
After a long ten seconds, Mikhail slowly raised his head and the tired veteran asked softly: "After you become emperor and change this empire... can you guarantee that your descendants will be the same?"
“…I will educate them, but this kind of thing…”
The prince was slightly stunned. He was not even the prince now. How could he think of the problem of becoming emperor and descendants after his death? So he couldn't help but hesitate, and then slowly shook his head: "At least it will be better than now, isn't it? I may be able to rule the country as a monarch and constitutional rule, but I don't know this thing..."
"So, as long as the emperor still exists, this problem is unsolvable."
He slowly raised his head, and Mikhail's voice was filled with a little sadness: "Maybe you can indeed become a wise ruler, but what about the next generation? What about the next generation? Do you still have to repeat this cycle of reincarnation?"
"I don't know the order I want, but it's definitely not the case. The 'change' of changing soups and not changing medicines!"
Without any hesitation, the bounty hunter reached into his arms and grabbed the dragon ball engraved with the "Ring World Snake". His eyes instantly became fierce and firm.
"Cumole and Matvi, I refuse your invitation!"
"Is that so, I'm sorry."
With a long sigh, without any hesitation, Matvi and the second prince, who were ready for battle earlier than Mikhail, launched an attack with their dragon at the same time.
The huge Leviathan let out a roar, and just before the roar echoed throughout the world, the bounty hunter was shocked to find that countless translucent and overlapping "shadows" appeared around him, firmly imprisoning every part of his body.
"What kind of power is this? Leviathan? But how could Leviathan--"
"This is Leviathan, but it is not Leviathan either."
Kumore had no intention of explaining Mikhail's doubts. He just pulled out his gun from his waist and pointed it at Mikhail who was pressed down by layers of figures.
——Leviathan, a giant beast in the sea, the legend of the Earth Mother Goddess ‘Tiamat’, which originated from the ancient Sumerian mythology. The behemoth snake born in the Hebrews. Its original image was a coiled snake that symbolized the vortex in the sea.
However, Leviathan's form is varied. As the prototype symbolizing the "Sea Behemoth", it sometimes produces seven big snakes, sometimes produces mountain giant beasts like whales, and sometimes is a hovering snake wrapped around the sea and a giant scale crocodile spewing flames.
It is jealousy, it is distortion, it is a vortex.
Naturally, it can also be a ‘human’, a ‘country’, and a ‘big beast composed of humans’.
Just as countless myths and legends use the name "Leviathan" to give meaning to the giant beast with countless images.
Hundreds of years ago, a scholar once again used this name in his works and used it to describe the "country".
"The substance, form and power of Leviathan, or the state of the church and the state of the citizens"
Or translated as "Theory of the Giant Spirit"
If human power is dispersed, it is so fragile that human groups without cohesion are as fragile as biscuits. Therefore, humans have always been united and condensed, just like fish in the sea, gathering into huge groups of fish and beasts to protect themselves.
However, when the fishes become a whole, some of them will inevitably be protected and some will be sacrificed, just as heroes can raise their swords to protect the masses, or grow dragon scales to oppress the masses.
But even so, humans still tirelessly create such a monster, creating the "Leviathan" condensed by humans. It initially represents the family, the tribe, and the city-states. In the end, they created their final creation - a monster that can make everyone feel belonging and cohesive.
'nation'.
The Kerba Empire, the second prince Kumoor Kerba, whose dragon ball was not called "Sea Monster Leviathan". He chose to abandon all the magical powers of Levi in myths and legends. Whether it was the great power that was enough to stir up the sea or the demon symbolizing jealousy, he abandoned them all, and then equated them with the "Kerba Empire", which summoned this "humanitarian dragon" that can only be summoned by the royal bloodline.
At this moment, the huge Leviathan showed his true appearance - it was a huge "fish school" composed of countless translucent figures and translucent souls. All the heroic souls from the Kerba Empire, which accounted for most of the world, were thrown into this beast. His power was not to mention a human being Mikhail, even Yemenghad was suppressed in the spiritual world and could not move.
Kumore's magic gun has begun to accumulate strength, and the sacred light summoned by Matvey has also begun to shine.
Death is approaching, and time seems to have slowed down countless times.
Until this moment, Mikhail finally realized that he really had no chance of winning and his path would end at this time.
There are many things that have not been done... I cannot die. If I die, who will support the elderly whose sons died in the war? Who will support the wives and mothers who have lost their husbands and sons? Who will take care of the children whose fathers die and cannot accept their encounters?
This world may be changed by someone, but what will happen to those who are the only ones I care about?
Although there were countless unwillingness in my heart, deep in Mikhail's heart, I suddenly felt something was untied.
……yes.
At least, the war is over.
When facing death, the veteran sighed and then smiled freely.
——Finally, I can face the thing that tortures me.
The shadow of war without glory covered the earth, and countless comrades died tragically in a strange foreign land. They faced the orphans who endured their grief alone. They faced the world alone, and had no way to start or change, until their hair was gray and wrinkles were everywhere, and the world still had no change.
Those years of walking in the blood have become Mikhail's nightmare. The war that took place in the Elf Forest twenty years ago may have ended long ago, but the war in his heart has not stopped and has always been wandering in his soul.
He pursues his dreams in his wishes, devotes everything to "collecting the dragon balls" and wishes to the ancestors this tiny hope is his final redemption.
This is probably the mercy left by the ancestor. The wish of Dragon Ball makes all desperate lives have hopes to pursue.
Then, try to change the world.
——Come on, die, I'm ready.
All the magic power in his body burst out. At the last moment, Mikhail finally broke free from Leviathan's shackles, pressed his magic power on the dragon ball, and lifted the seal of his terrifying desire to destroy the entire old world in his heart.
His wish is to create a new order?
If this is true, then I would probably agree to the invitation from the second prince and Matvey before.
However, the true wish of Mikhail, the person who is in his heart, is to destroy the entire old world!
Then, new things will be reborn from the burning flames, just as the new dawn will still be born after the dusk of Ragnarokia brought by the beasts such as Jemengat in the past.
It is precisely because of this that he can summon the most vicious and evil snake that destroys the world that makes dusk come!
"Yemgade--eat it very much!"
Laughing, Kumore's magic gun bullet penetrated Mikhail's heart, and Matvi's Hammer of Holy Light also smashed his head.
However, before the corpse fell, the last order had been issued.
"Then, pass everything about me to Zhuzhou and Vika - tell them the truth!"
So, the next moment.
The black giant snake rushed out of the soles of the man's feet, and his head went straight into the clouds in the sky with a roar that shocked the mountains.
The big snake that swallowed the world swallowed its summoner and dragon ball, and the giant creature that appeared between heaven and earth out of thin air faced Leviathan, who was waiting for him and the light yellow dragon hiding in the clouds, and roared that shocked the clouds of heaven and earth.
In the distance, next to the small town of Maia's main city.
The little white-haired girl holding a head and hiding in an unmanned shed looked into the distance.
In the red eyes, the increasingly active "curiosity" was turning.
"What's wrong, Ola? Let me see."
Suddenly, spiritual power shook the atmosphere and made a young man's voice with the same curiosity.
