"His power is getting stronger and stronger, and the thing I'm worried about is finally happening."
Ryze looked at the dark clouds in the sky and felt the rising power like the sun. His eyes became more and more serious.
Because the owner of this power would definitely kill him, and he had to teach such a person a lesson.
The control of power.
Ryze wasn't worried about Li Ke having great power, because it was his own business, and how he used it was his own business. He was only worried that Li Ke would accidentally destroy the lives of this world in the process of using his power.
Li Ke destroyed the void creatures and used his power to combine with the power of this world to recreate the ecosystem of the sea. Ryze had learned about this through magic … No, magic itself. When he held the World Rune in his hand, he clearly felt the World Rune's desire for Li Ke, as well as everything Li Ke was doing.
The World Rune's words that bewitched him also changed from how much power he could obtain to how great Li Ke could achieve with the World Rune in his hand, how beautiful the world he cared about could become, and how he could happily and easily put down his burden and enjoy the rest of his life.
There were even times when he dreamt that he had given the World Rune Allowance to Li Ke, and then sincerely apologized and received Li Ke's forgiveness. He knew that this was also the bewitchment of the World Rune, but he had to admit that it really moved his heart.
Ryze, who had wandered for a thousand years and constantly betrayed and massacred to prevent his power from being abused by people who weren't ready yet, had always longed for rest, longed for a warm home, a friend who didn't have to betray and kill, a friend who could use magic to solve their problems, a friend who could use the greatest kindness to consider the actions of others, and a friend who didn't have to think about how long it would take for him to destroy them.
He longed for rewards, because his actions had indeed saved the world countless times, so he also wanted to be treated as a hero, to be praised by everyone, and not be despised as a cold-blooded monster, a demon who slaughtered his own friends.
He longed for safety.
He was afraid that one day, he would become someone like his teacher, using the World Rune for his own selfish desires, because he knew that he would be killed, just like how he had killed his teacher. He was afraid that someone stronger than him would kill him for the World Rune, or that because of his carelessness, the World Rune would fall into the hands of those without honor, and he would die because of it.
How could he not fear death?
The more a person liked this world, the more they feared death. How could a person who had wandered for a thousand years in order to prevent this world from being destroyed not like this world?
"His power surpasses the limits of what the people of this world can understand and bear. There is no one in this world who can stop him. Just like the World Rune, a casual action from him can cause the world to suffer … But he is happy to use his power that surpasses people's understanding in this world. He is like a god walking among mortals, a god who satisfies all the desires of lowly mortals."
Checking the final stage of the ritual, Ryze could not help but talk to himself. He could already see what Li Ke would encounter in the future, and what he would do. A person with such power wouldn't just sit there like a puppet. The only difference between Li Ke and the god was that the god did not care about humans, but he cared about humans very much. This was very bad, the life of a god who was used to being omnipotent would not be able to move forward, and the god who was used to standing in front of everyone would not care about the thoughts of the people at the bottom who could not keep up.
Just like this time, even though he knew that Li Ke had no other choice but to kill the remaining sea creatures and void creatures together, and greatly affected the climate of this world, his decisive action still made Ryze's hair stand on end.
He was afraid, afraid that one day Li Ke would helplessly affect the remaining sea creatures and destroy the world he loved.
This was not impossible, it was very difficult to step on ants without hurting them, and with Li Ke's current power, if he made a small mistake that even he himself could not detect, it would be a disaster for the whole world.
However, from the perspective of a bystander, he did not have the self-awareness of being a god. He still felt that he was a mortal who should use his own power to build this world. Of course, there was no problem with such thinking, but when did you see an ant and an elephant building a house together? Did you see a lion and a tiger reasoning with a rabbit and trying to persuade the rabbit to agree with him?
"So I have to let him know how terrifying his power is if he continues to stand among the mortals …"
Ryze could hardly imagine such a world, it was a world that was completely dominated by Li Ke. At that time, the whole world would operate according to Li Ke's will, and personal thoughts would no longer be important. Anyone who dared to resist Li Ke, or say a point of view that was different from Li Ke's will, would be destroyed. The whole world would have no future to speak of, only the direction that Li Ke pointed out to them.
Entrusting the good or bad of the world to a person's will? Ryze had never heard of such a thing, and he never dared to imagine how tragic it would be once such a world was born.
But he did not object to everything that Li Ke did. Everything that Li Ke had done so far showed that he was a good person. Ryze also knew that it was precisely because Li Ke was a good person that he had the opportunity to live until now, monitor and observe Li Ke, and think of a strategy to use Li Ke as an imaginary enemy. From the bottom of his heart, he did not object to a ruler like Li Ke ruling this world.
But the problem was that he was too good, so good that Ryze was really worried about whether ordinary people would still be useful to him in the future. And once this one-sided relationship reached its end, what kind of ugly state would the world he loved show in front of Li Ke?
He understood the world he loved too well, and he also understood human nature too well. That was why he tried his best to salvage the situation, to give the beautiful and ugly world he loved a fragile insurance policy. A insurance policy that would not be destroyed by Li Ke when their world betrayed Li Ke.
Ryze picked up the world runes that he once swore that he would never use. Sensing their eagerness to reach Li Ke's side, Ryze painfully closed his eyes. The scene of the destruction of his hometown appeared in his mind again, as well as his fear and efforts for this power. And now, he had to destroy his thousand years of effort and perseverance, touch this power that should not be touched, and then destroy all his hopes and desires.
But it was worth it.
The world runes that he spent a thousand years to collect slowly merged into his body, transforming his body that had long been changed, allowing him to obtain the power that the world runes had promised countless times.
From now on, there were no more wandering mages.
There were only monsters that were corrupted because they tried to control the world runes.
