Chapter 609

After listening to what PoI-3172 said within the light screen,

Naruto and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to speak about this matter for a moment.

They also did not know how to explain this matter for a moment,

Wanting to prevent the descent of the Scarlet King, must evil things happen in this world?

But doesn't the Scarlet King rely on hatred to descend into this world?

For a moment, the eyes of Naruto and the others were filled with deep confusion.

Looking at the content on the light screen,

The Toad Sage, however, grasped a different point.

"It seems this Dr. Montauk really has a grudge against the Scarlet King. And what is that girl they mentioned? Is it 231-7?"

According to what this PoI-3172 said, that program should be Montauk's plan,

He said Montauk's plan was pure hatred, and the treatment of that girl was also brutal,

But this behavior was effective. What was effective?

It effectively prevented the Scarlet King from descending into this world.

Does this mean that to prevent the Scarlet King from descending into the world, hatred is truly needed,

That revenge born of hatred, that brutality is needed to stop it?

Taking a deep drag from his cigarette holder, the Toad Sage's eyes were filled with solemnity.

At this moment, PoI-3172's narration on the light screen was still continuing.

"Do you know why the Scarlet King exists?"

Facing PoI-3172's question, Dr. Montauk responded tentatively:

"Because modernity and pre-modern—"

However, before he could finish his sentence, PoI-3172 directly interrupted him.

"No! Because the SCP Foundation exists."

Hearing this, not only was Dr. Montauk stunned on the spot,

But even everyone in the Ninja World was stunned on the spot.

The reason the Scarlet King exists is because of the existence of the Foundation? Don't joke!

The Foundation and the Scarlet King can be said to be mortal enemies!

How could the Scarlet King exist because of the Foundation's existence?

At this moment, PoI-3172 inside the light screen was still talking to himself.

"Modernity helps him take shape, defines the contours of his fury, but only when modernity begins to interfere with his kingdom does he become concrete."

"Modernity appears in your form. You came first. You emerged first to lock down, categorize, and nail down everything that does not conform to your Enlightenment rational philosophy."

"Everything must be understood, placed in context, transformed from spirits and immortals into simple, understandable logic and matter."

"It is disgusting, and it cannot be so forever. Something must be given. Something must rise as an opposition."

Looking at the content on the light screen,

A strange light flickered in the Toad Sage's eyes.

"Could it be that the Foundation's act of sealing what they consider anomalies indirectly funded the growth of the Scarlet King?"

Shaking his head, the Toad Sage felt that this thought of his was simply too crazy.

At this moment, the conversation between the two in the light screen was also continuing.

Dr. Montauk looked at the PoI-3172 in front of him, and Dr. Montauk slowly opened his mouth:

"Those rituals. They all have correspondences."

Taking a deep breath, PoI-3172 smiled, shook his head, and said:

"Without this tension, the King cannot exist. We need these symbols of modernity, these bleak landscapes, to create the initial rift. This is the perfect plan."

Looking at the PoI-3172 in front of him, Dr. Montauk chuckled and slowly opened his mouth:

"But you failed."

"Yes."

After a pause of several seconds,

PoI-3172 slowly opened his mouth, but this time, there was some excitement in his expression.

"Listen, Robert, just listen."

"You know what the Scarlet King is now."

"He is the creation of swirling anomalies, from many different eras, spanning all worlds."

"It is the memory of lost worlds, the memory of pre-modern worlds, manifested as hatred for modernity, hatred for this new humanity and the sneers that mark our daily existence."

"Forged by the perfect balance between irreconcilable anomalies and our broken minds, he is an entity created by overwhelming, unavoidable tension, a howl of the old world facing the cold, bleak, meaningless new world."

"He is the revenge of our lost past. He is the idea of the ancients living in a world that has abandoned and blindly trusted it."

Silence, deathly silence.

The entire Ninja World fell into a silence as if death had descended.

They did not know how to speak, and they did not know how to explain this matter.

Modern hatred, lost revenge, a blind world,

All of this was so disorderly and chaotic.

After thinking deeply for a long time, Dr. Montauk raised his eyes to look at PoI-3172.

"He is the embodiment of the tension between modernity and pre-modernity."

"Yes. He is the fault line between two incompatible worlds, and in the end, he can only destroy them all. This is the righteous path."

Pausing for a few seconds, as if thinking about something, Dr. Montauk asked softly a moment later:

"What do we do now?"

Facing Dr. Montauk, a faint smile appeared on PoI-3172's face;

"Shoot me, let them take my body away, and go back to your life."

"It won't be long now; the King's arrival is inevitable."

"You can try to stop it, but it will be of no use."

"The Foundation has too many things hanging by a thread, too many things remaining in their mental reserves."

"They will wrap the world in the gray of concrete, the King will rise from the ashes, and the children of the King won't even need to lift a finger."

At this point, the light screen above the sky slowly dimmed.

However, the Ninja World was still silent, and everyone was recalling what the two people on the light screen had said.

For the ordinary people of the Ninja World,

The conversation between these two could be said to be very chaotic and disorderly.

Although it explained what this Scarlet King was and in what state he descended into this world,

But listening to the whole thing, one always felt that these two were talking nonsense.

The way they described the Scarlet King's arrival was also like a madman's ravings, but it made people feel deep fear from the bottom of their bones...

And they knew one thing,

The Scarlet King is very likely to descend into this world.

And unlike the ordinary people of the Ninja World,

Tsunade and the others were all thoughtful as they recalled what PoI-3172 said in the light screen.

"According to the last sentence PoI-3172 said, the Scarlet King will descend into this world sooner or later,"

"And the Foundation should have no way to stop this matter."

"And the reason why the Scarlet King can descend into this world is very likely that the Foundation's containment method is problematic."

"Or rather, the Foundation's containment method is actually influenced by the Scarlet King."

In the video call, recalling the conversation in the light screen, Tsunade frowned tightly and spoke slowly.

Her words also won the agreement of everyone present.

"If this Scarlet King descends into the world, what should we do?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Water frowned, his eyes filled with deep worry.

After all, even the Foundation has no way to fight this Scarlet King, so they certainly have no way either.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Onoki slowly spoke:
