When Fangzheng opened his eyes again, he had returned to his soul space.
"What a fool."
The insectoid overlord walked out again and mocked him mercilessly.
"You should have listened to me before, instead of slashing at a bat with a sword! Efficiency! Efficiency is the key! Those meaningless emotions are unnecessary! You and that lizard are the same! We are all a part of you. You should be able to understand our thoughts! "
"But we still got what we needed."
The dragon clearly didn't agree with the insectoid overlord's words.
"That's enough. We carry glory, not sin. That's the key!"
"Glory won't give you more power."
The insectoid overlord retorted without hesitation.
"The insectoid swarm doesn't need glory, but the power of the insectoid swarm can make the entire world tremble! No power can survive in the face of the insectoid swarm! "
"But the insectoid swarm doesn't have friends."
The dragon mocked. The insectoid overlord didn't care at all.
"The insectoid swarm doesn't need friends or servants. We only need excellent materials and genes."
"Both of you shut up."
Fangzheng snorted and interrupted the quarrel between the two of them. He looked at the insectoid overlord and narrowed his eyes.
"I've thought it through. Indeed, as you said, I need great power, and I need even greater power. I've fallen to this state not because I'm not ruthless enough, but because I'm not strong enough. As long as I'm strong enough to protect everything I protect, I'll have the right to choose. "
Fangzheng sighed softly.
"Look at Akkad. He's so powerful, but he lost. He didn't lose to me, but to a nobody I've never even heard of. He didn't lose fair and square. He was plotted against. But even though Akkad has reached the end of the road and is about to perish completely. But the crisis he's facing is a problem that I can easily solve …. What does this mean? "
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at his two clones.
"I once thought I was a very determined person, but the truth is I'm not. In the face of power, I will also waver. I longed for great power, but I was bound by moral common sense. For example, when someone asks me what is true power, the standard correct answer is that 'everyone working together' is true power …. But is that really the case? "
Fangzheng looked at his hands.
"That's the standard answer, but it's not my answer. I need more power, a power that can allow me to easily resolve any adversity I encounter, a power that can allow me to protect everything I love from being threatened. That's why I won't give up everything and sacrifice everything else for the sake of power. But … at the same time, I won't become arrogant just because I have power. I finally understand one thing. No matter what, I am me. "
Fangzheng clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, the black and white world began to emit a shattering sound. Cracks began to appear and gradually spread.
"I don't acknowledge your existence because I don't think I'm arrogant enough to look down on other existences. I'm not so cold-blooded that I can sacrifice everything for myself. But that's not the case. I've indeed become arrogant, and I've developed some thoughts because of my desire for power. But don't forget …. You're just a part of me! "
Following Fangzheng's words, the chaotic space suddenly shattered. At the same time, the figures of the Zerg Overlord and the dragon were quickly engulfed in flames.
"You're just a part of me, not all of me. What I want to do is up to me! I won't be controlled by arrogance, and I won't give up because of fear! "
Fangzheng felt that his mind had never been as clear as it was now. He finally realized why he had such chaotic feelings. After being "assassinated", although Fangzheng was resurrected with the power of the Soul Stone, the opponent's attack had broken through the protection of the system. This made Fangzheng feel uneasy about the power he originally possessed. He used to think that no matter what happened, the "cheat code" known as the system would never expire or lose its effectiveness. In other words, no matter what trouble Fangzheng encountered, as long as the system was there, he could solve it.
But that was not the case. The system was not omnipotent, nor was it absolutely safe.
That was why Fangzheng would subconsciously feel worried and uneasy. This feeling reached its peak after experiencing Yanan and the vampire world. Of course, this might also be due to the spiritual influence of the Abyss and this world, but at the end of the day, it was just like the nightmare Fangzheng saw before. If he did not have such worries deep in his heart, that nightmare would not have appeared in front of Fangzheng.
Therefore, Fangzheng subconsciously had some thoughts: "Maybe my current choice is wrong", "Maybe I should change."
It was because of this that he created the branches of the Zerg and the dragon, and let them fight in his mind.
But now, Fangzheng finally understood.
It didn't matter. Whether he had the system or not, there were things he could and couldn't do. The only thing he could do was to give himself as many choices as possible so that he wouldn't be forced into a corner with nowhere to go.
"I am who I am, and this is my final answer."
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the gradually breaking soul world.
"So, I will not choose either of you, because you are just a part of me! Not all of you! "
Bang!!
At this moment, the chaotic soul world was completely broken. The original black and white world was divided again. The black sky and white earth reappeared, redefining the existence of direction. The Relayer Sacrificial Ground appeared again beside Fangzheng, and Fangzheng stretched out his hand and waved gently.
Soon, the system interface appeared in front of Fangzheng again, and the repair progress had increased to 58%.
"If I were an obsessive-compulsive person, Akkad would have died long ago."
Looking at the progress bar above, Fangzheng shook his head. Fangzheng's soul power was very strong, and it had indeed given Fangzheng a lot of firewood. However, because the level of power absorbed by Akkad was not uniform, the system's repair progress could not exceed 60%.
Fortunately, Fangzheng had said that he would save Old Bat's life. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist burning Old Bat's body to see if he could increase the remaining 2%.
But for Fangzheng, it did not matter whether it was 58% or 60%, because when it exceeded 50%, Fangzheng received a system prompt.
[The system has been repaired halfway. Restart. Do you want to restart?]
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Fangzheng took a deep breath, then reached out his hand and pressed [Yes].
Ding!!
Soon, the System interface vanished before Fangzheng's eyes. Regardless of whether it was the gray or sealed interfaces from before, Fangzheng could no longer see them. For a moment, there was nothing in front of Fangzheng. But soon, Fangzheng found a change.
"Whoosh …."
In the Fire-Relaying Sacrificial Ground, the soul fire on the central altar burned more and more vigorously. At the same time, its remaining "shadow", the Flame of Chaos, also began to sway. The earth began to tremble. Fangzheng saw the black substance that had stained the walls rapidly decrease and disappear. As if driven away by something, the black substance gathered in a corner of the Fire-Relaying Sacrificial Ground.
Then, there was a flash of light.
The next moment, the system interface of the Dimensional Codex appeared in front of Fangzheng's eyes again.
The system interface had not changed much compared to before, but most of its functions were still sealed. At present, the only function that Fangzheng could use was the [World Transmigration] function. In addition, Fangzheng's inventory was finally unsealed … This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
