"An existence that must be defeated …"
Rozen's words made Anna's breath stop for a moment.
Hearing this, the young girl's hands suddenly clenched together.
Rozen completely saw this change.
Rozen's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and he looked at Anna thoughtfully.
Under such circumstances, Anna's voice sounded again.
"As expected, if it's a human, they would definitely think so, right?" Anna said in a low voice: "As long as you are a human, you will want to defeat such a monster, thinking that such a monster should not exist, right?"
When she said this sentence, Anna's tone was full of complex meaning, as if she had expected it, but also as if she was self-deprecating, which made Rozen speechless.
Anna continued to narrate the story to herself.
"Indeed, Gorgon is an existence that must be defeated, or in other words, her existence itself is a mistake."
"She is obviously a monster, but she came to this era as a goddess, and she is ready to destroy human beings and occupy the earth. This is absolutely not allowed."
"What she has done can no longer be forgiven. She must be defeated."
Anna said, and her tone became firm again.
That way, instead of saying these words to Rozen, it would be better to say that she said these words to herself.
Rozen looked at Anna deeply and said slowly.
"I have the reasons you said." Rozen said: "But I said that she is an existence that must be defeated, not just because of that."
"Not just because of that?" Anna was taken aback, and then asked in confusion: "Then, do you have another reason to defeat Gorgon?"
As soon as Anna said these words, Anna seemed to have come to a realization.
"By the way, you are the last master of mankind, and you came to fix this singularity."
Then, for the future of mankind, for the continuation of humanity, Rozen must defeat Gorgon, who has the Holy Grail, in order to fix the last singularity and restore everything.
Therefore, even without the above reasons, Rozen must defeat Gorgon.
That was how Anna understood it.
However …
"It's not just because of this."
Rozen smiled and shook his head. He told Anna that the reason for his stance was also not the whole story.
"Then …"
Anna was confused.
If that was the case, then why did Rozen have to defeat Gorgon?
Anna was puzzled.
Looking at Anna like this, Rozen pondered for a moment and then said.
"It's true that I can't stand what Gergong did, but in fact, compared to hatred and hostility, I should be more angry about Gergong, shouldn't I?"
Rozen actually said so.
"Angry?"
Anna became more and more confused.
But these were Rozen's heartfelt words.
"To be honest, I personally sympathize with Gorgon," Rozen said calmly. "No, I should say that I sympathize with Medusa."
Medusa.
As soon as the name came out, Anna's delicate body trembled imperceptibly.
"Medusa did nothing wrong, but because of an inexplicable curse, she became a banshee and was exiled to the Invisible Island. She was also constantly persecuted by humans who were blinded by a sense of glory. In the end, she went crazy and became a real monster. From this point alone, the goddess is just a victim." Rozen continued as if he didn't notice. "In that case, sympathize with her, pity her, feel sorry for her, feel sorry for her, and feel sad for her fate. That should be how everyone who knows this story feels."
Rozen was the same.
Rozen sympathized with Medusa and felt sorry for her.
"But she's not a goddess. She's just a banshee …"
Anna seemed to be refuting, but somehow, her tone was quite weak.
Naturally, Rozen knew what Anna was thinking.
"Because she's a banshee, she's a monster, she's the enemy of humans, so we can't sympathize with her, can't feel sorry for her, and can only hate her?" Rozen curled his lips and said, "Perhaps, for those ordinary humans who put themselves in her shoes, this is only natural?"
People sympathized with Medusa and felt sorry for her, but that was at best because Medusa's existence was limited to legends. People treated this story as a fictional thing, so naturally, they would sympathize with her, feel sorry for her, and feel sad.
However, think about it, if they really lived in the same era, in the same world, and on the same land as the monster named Gorgon, then how could people's sympathy, heartache, and sorrow defeat the fear, fear, and hatred of the terrible monster?
People could often only comment on a matter from a bystander and objective standpoint. If they put themselves in her shoes, things would be completely different.
If they really met the legendary Medusa, this crazy monster, the Queen of Demonic Beasts who could even kill all kinds of heroes, then the world would not care how pitiful she was. They would only endlessly curse and fear the monster who did such a thing when their own lives were threatened and the heroes they worshipped or their own kind were slaughtered and turned into stone statues.
From this point of view, Rozen's sympathy and heartache were simply a sanctimonious performance to those who were harmed by the Medusa.
But …
"This is the difference in standpoint." Rozen said, "In fact, I'm not hurt. I'm just an objective bystander. So, what does it have to do with others if I sympathize and feel sorry for Medusa based on my own standpoint?
"Medusa was cursed because of an undeserved disaster. She went crazy because of the endless persecution of humans. These are all facts. Can anyone deny it?
"In order to protect her two sisters, she didn't hesitate to stain her hands with blood and kept working hard to become stronger. From this point of view, not only will I not be hostile to her, but I will also look at her in a different light.
"At least, if it were me, I would do the same."
Rozen's somewhat cruel words made Anna look at him in a daze. There were indescribable complicated emotions in her eyes.
"In that case, why do you say that she is an existence that must be defeated?"
Anna suppressed her emotions and asked.
"Is there a need to ask?" Rozen said without thinking, "Of course it's because the one who appeared here is no longer Medusa, but Gorgon."
Anna's body trembled.
Rozen said so.
"She fell to the end of her madness to protect her sisters, not to kill all humans.
"She must not regret that her hands were stained with blood because that way, she at least protected her sisters, even if she was the one who swallowed her sisters in the end.
"The one she hates the most shouldn't be humans, but herself."
"If that's the case, after everything is over, she should get what she deserves, instead of acting recklessly in this era with unfounded hatred and unfounded vengeance."
Rozen's words entered Anna's ears one after another.
"If Gorgon is still Medusa and knows what she has done now, she must be in pain and want to be freed, right?
"And if no one can do this, I don't mind making a move.
"Whether it is the way of existence or the reason for fighting, the current Gorgon is wrong.
"So, she must be defeated."
That was the reason.
