Xu Cheng grabbed the Duke's neck and roared, "I'm not the same as you."
"How are you different? Do you think I don't know your past? You have nothing! Everything you have right now was all fought for by yourself. In fact, you are no different from me! Did you not kill your own people? Like me, I killed the royal family, but you killed the Ye Family. Even the world that abandoned you, you are willing to become the enemy of the entire world! If that's the case, why don't you help me? "
"I have love, you don't!" Xu Cheng interrupted him. "I have parents who love me! But you don't! I have friendship, you don't either. Your world is full of betrayal and pity, and the lack of love will cause your personality to be twisted. At least on this point, I am different from you! I have my own pursuits, you don't! Even if you win, like you said, you are a god. Are you happy? "
The Duke's expression suddenly froze, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Xu Cheng smashed him into the ground from high up in the sky!
The Duke's body even brushed against the ground, and his face was ruined.
But just as he was lying there, he suddenly laughed. He laughed a little crazily. "What else can I do? If you aren't strong, you can't change this world. You should know how much effort it takes for a grassroots to gain a foothold in this world. You live a life of desperation every day, and everyone wants to kill you. Tell me, if you aren't ruthless, how can you stand on your own? In this world full of interests and no friends, do you believe in friendship? It's not my heart that's twisted, it's this f * cking world! "
As the Duke spoke, he even roared in anger. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear how much he hated this world.
"Family, brothers killing each other, for power, anyone can be sacrificed. One wrong step, and you will become one of thousands of bones. Tell me! If it were you, what would you do? You killed the four races, how many mercenaries did you kill? You killed millions of enemies in the Land of Mercenaries who were not allied with you. For your woman, you killed the nobility of the Wei Nation. For your grand ambition, you established your own organization. Do you think you are right? You have no right to look down on me, because we are the same kind of people! But you won't understand me at all, because as you said, you have parents who love you dearly, a wife who loves you and is willing to die for you, and a group of brothers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you, but what about me? There was nothing! When I had the ability and the confidence to live a good life, my most beloved girlfriend died in my hands because of my Blood Poison Gene, one after another. In the end, I was even afraid of falling in love with someone. In fact, I didn't want to drink human blood in the beginning. Do you think I'm willing to become a demon? A witch doctor once told me that in order to cleanse my blood of the poison, I had to drink fresh human blood, but I didn't kill them! I just want to be normal and be with the woman I love. You won't understand how desperate those rumors and stories of demons and vampires made me feel. It's them who forced me to this day. It's their refusal to accept me, turning me into something neither human nor ghost. I'm not wrong, I'm also a victim of an experiment. I'm a youth who carried the crime of being an illegitimate child and lived a muddle-headed life, yet I became a sacrifice for an emperor who wanted to live forever! "
He was like a person who had lost everything. Even at this time, when he recalled the memories of his beloved woman, he seemed so lonely and helpless.
"Sometimes, I really envy you," the duke said faintly. "You are a monster like me, but you have a different fate. You have what I don't have, and I only want to have your ability. If I were really a god, would I be able to save my deceased girlfriend? You just asked me, even if I didn't die, would I be happy living? Let me tell you now, I'm not happy at all. For the past 200 years, every day of my life has been a torture, and the only reason I'm alive is to save my girlfriend! She's the most beautiful woman in the world, and there will never be another woman that can compare to her. "
Xu Cheng looked at him and said, "During your most difficult times, she was with you, right?"
"More than that." The duke shook his head. "Even when I became a monster and everyone wanted to beat me up, she was still with me, never leaving me. From the time we met in the orphanage, we were childhood friends, until her death … "
Speaking up to this point, the duke's body began to tremble. "Do you know why I wanted to exterminate the royal family? Because I was the only one who witnessed the ugly deeds of the royal family. I escaped from the lab and was the only survivor. In order to kill me, the royal family forced me into a dead end. That day, I brought my girlfriend and was forced into this castle. We didn't eat or drink for two days! There were people searching everywhere outside, and my blood poison was acting up. I was about to die. It was my woman! It was her! When I was unconscious, she gave me her blood to drink, and she used her flesh to satisfy my hunger! "
Speaking up to this point, the duke directly cried.
"I'll never forget the day I lost consciousness and regained my memory. We were like two strands of weeds. Originally, we couldn't do anything in this world, and life was already very difficult. But why, why did they have to force us? My woman told me that I have to be strong and live to prove myself! And from then on, I swore that I would change everything in this life! I overthrew the British royal family of the empire that never sets, and they would never be able to rise again! I will make all those who have done bad things to me pay the price! "
To be honest, Xu Cheng always felt that bad people wouldn't be bad for no reason, because everyone was born equal, and there would only be good and bad people according to certain circumstances. However, sometimes, pretending to be a good person was far scarier than a bad person.
At this moment, he felt a bit of sympathy for this proud and cold Duke, but today, he exposed his most vulnerable side to him.
He was right, they were actually the same kind of people.
If Xu Cheng swapped roles with him, maybe he would be even more ruthless than the duke. At least now, the royal family would no longer exist!
"It can't be saved." Xu Cheng suddenly said, "No matter how powerful the genetic cloning technology is, even if it can create an identical person, some lost memories can't be stored and replicated like a computer. The reason why humans are unique is because of this."
"How could I not know this?" The duke suddenly bitterly smiled. "I've seen more ugliness in human nature than you, but I can't help but hope that I'm lucky. Just like I'm the only one out of millions of people who have successfully experimented on me. Just like you, I've been experimenting on you for more than a hundred years. I always choose to believe that my life is good."
