Chapter 1911: Ultimate Answer 4

Kill him, quickly notify the other guards! That kid is Second Level!

God..!? What should I do!? What should I do now!?

Am I supposed to explain to them that I was forced!? It's the Fire Wolf Team people who wanted to kill me first! These soldiers are in league with them!

His whole body trembled; the thrill of revenge excited him, but after killing this group of villains, the youth fell into confusion again.

All he saw was him terrifiedly looking at the large number of soldiers gathered at the city gate; amidst the panicked crowd, he saw many lower-class survivors just like him, wearing expressions of glee yet also fear as they looked at him.

Explain...?

"Do you really think they don't know you're innocent? These guards and so-called search teams, under the pretense of recruiting you as members, drain you of everything."

"You give everything; some die to the zombies while scraping together the enrollment fee, others, for a pittance of credit, are forced to scramble for meager resources like stray dogs."

"What did your sister do for you? Don't you know?"

"The moment they saw you, they decided to kill you; don't you still not understand what that means?"

Step by step, he guided.

Hearing the deity's truth that he dared not even think of in his heart, the youth's heart shuddered, and he instinctively feared to say anything.

"But god.. maybe it's just these people who are bad..."

"If I hadn't encountered monsters, if I hadn't run into the Fire Wolf Team, I might have actually become a squad member, and I would have been an Awakened One too."

"I've seen someone like me who later even became a squad leader!"

As if unwilling to shatter the hope he had always held, the beautiful fantasy of the future.

However, just as that thought arose, the deity's voice sounded again:

"Really.."

"The so-called path of advancement, the so-called making you Awakened Ones, is merely giving you false hope, so you won't be too desperate."

"Just like prisoners, if they know they will surely die, no one will willingly submit to oppression; no matter what, they will rebel."

"If they don't exploit you, don't treat you like livestock, what do they enjoy? What do they eat? What do they use?"

"Lower-class humans are merely the property of the upper class. Your lives and dignity are, in their eyes, nothing but tools for amusement. They use force to establish their rules, employing various means to alienate you, making you devalue humanity's most precious dignity and courage to nothing."

"Even if you luckily become an Awakened One, you're merely the lowest among them, helping them oppress more people."

"If they don't die, there will be another you, another Zhang Zi."

His whole body shuddered.

The youth gasped heavily; the deity's voice in his mind was like a heavy hammer, shattering his fantasies.

"Ha... ha.."

He was afraid, he was terrified, yet he was also angry! He certainly knew the deity's words were likely true!

"But... but I'm only one person!"

"I can't beat them...! Can I really do it...? Me..!?"

"Awaken the masses!"

"I will give you more power!"

"As long as people have the courage to take up weapons alongside you, as long as you are willing to lead them, as long as you still want to change all of this!"

As his words fell, the youth seemed to be ignited with all his courage; in everyone's eyes, he began to charge!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of them!!"

"Take up weapons! Those unwilling to be slaves! Follow me in taking up weapons! Kill them!"

Ten minutes later.

"Believe me! Please believe me! As long as you hate evil, as long as you still have the courage to keep fighting, we will surely win!"

Three hours later.

"We won't lose! Think of the suffering we've endured! Think of your wives and children, friends! We are not born to be slaves! What gives us the right not to resist? Why should we bow our heads?!"

"Don't be afraid! As long as you believe in me, as long as you still want to bring light back to the world, we will become stronger!"

Twelve hours later.

Flames of war burned; above the collapsing ruins, the youth's eyes filled with hot tears as he eagerly watched the cheering survivors beneath his feet.

The deity did not deceive him!

The courage and hatred he inspired in people were like an endless stream of power, enabling him to defeat enemies he never dared to imagine!

He looked at her incredulous face, tightly embracing his weeping sister, as if boundless hope rose in his heart.

Facing those who fought alongside him beneath his feet and ultimately repelled the enemy, he finally couldn't help but raise his arms and shout:

"I promise! I will surely bring everyone together to survive! Give everyone hope! Justice will not be defeated! As long as we share a common belief, as long as we still have fearless conviction, dawn is right before our eyes!"

"No one will starve to death! No one needs to sell their dignity!"

"We will build a fair homeland! We will resist the darkness to the end!"

"Eliminate all monsters! Eliminate all evildoers! Eliminate those cowards who dare not fight the apocalypse, letting hope ignite the world!"

Forty-eight hours later.

The youth's face turned pale as he clutched his chest; the wound from that sword, which nearly cleaved him open, incessantly stabbed his nerves.

After leading the people to occupy the Safe Zone, he soon faced a stronger encirclement.

Fortunately, the power the deity gave him could still barely cope.

Just...

Just looking at the faintly visible beating heart on his chest wound, the youth couldn't help but feel fear.

"The deity's power now given to me is only Third Level Initial..."

"I almost died... I almost died! If the enemy were any stronger, I really..."

For some reason, the youth suddenly flashed in his mind the image of himself being besieged and dying miserably; he saw his own corpse, battered and broken after death; he saw his sister's face, despairing and sobbing after losing him.

At this moment, his belief seemed to waver a bit...

He no longer seemed so eager to change all this, nor did he have the initial courage; he hated those sins, he hated the injustice and tragedy of all this.

"I am also third rank.."

"Actually, I could live quite well... if I stopped, if..."

The youth was cautious, as if afraid that the gods would hear his inner voice, and a thought that even he himself found ugly quickly flashed through his mind.

He feared the gods would abandon her, but he truly began to fear death.

"What if the gods' gift to him was only this...? Can he really persist on his own?"

In the Thought Space, Lin An silently watched the simulation.

He knew.

When a person possesses something, they instead fear losing it.

"Human nature."

"Can only stop here...?"
