Book 7, Chapter 39: Anger
Within the core of Sky City:
Eternal Night sat down, coy
He had been defeated
This battle had been between the two most powerful individuals of either race, but the outcome was exceptionally one-sided
There was no fierce battle or exchange of blows Eternal Night had been defeated with a single attack
This attack, which contained iht’s attacks
“What technique is that?” Eternal Night asked as he gazed at Su Chen in shock
“I call it iy It is distinct froan to explain the principles of iht heard this explanation, he was ay could even exist Where does this energy coht, Su Chen replied, “From lifesource”
“Lifesource?”
“Yes!” Su Chen said with a confident nod “The power of the Gods is derived froy, however, comes directly from an individual’s lifesource At least, that’s how I understand it Both the outside environment and one’s body are treasures It was just that, in the past, ere deceived by the grandiose nature of the world around us and never tried to unlock the potential contained within ourselves Now, a ray of light has finally dawned on ht heard this, he fell deep into thought for a , “Could the Harpies possess this power as well?”
“I don’t know” Su Chen shrugged “We will only know after a Harpy tries to cultivate it”
Interestingly enough, Su Chen hadn’t killed Eternal Night outright Instead, after the battle, they had begun to converse with each other as if they were long lost friends
Even so, neither Eternal Night nor Su Chen found this to be strange
They were very sireat a of the other Even if one defeated the other, they would still respect a worthy opponent For this reason alone, Su Chen wouldn’t grow high and ht feel indignant about his loss
Such a relationshi+p was quite rare and hard to find
Upon hearing Su Chen’s words, Eternal Night smiled bitterly “It seems that we Harpies will never have such an opportunity”
“That ht not be so,” Su Chen said cryptically
“What?” Eternal Night was stunned by his words and turned around to gaze intently at Su Chen
Su Chen continued, “I said, it ht not be iy You already know that I research everything with the intention ofit broadly applicable to everyone I have never harbored the selfish idea of hoarding everything that I’ve discovered for ht’s coldly interrupted, “You know that that’s not what I’ about”
Su Chen chuckled “Did you think that I was going to kill off every single Harpy? If you were the winner in this ould you do?”
Eternal Night fell silent, still staring intently at Su Chen Su Chen did likewise
The two of theht finally said, “If I won, then I wouldn’t kill all of the humans I would capture and enslave them, just like e did to the Craftsmen, the Metalskins, the Stoneskins, and the Moonkin They would become servants for me to use as I please However, don’t you dare even think about an to yell as he glared at Su Chen
There was no gratitude, only anger and hatred
This was the attitude of a ruler He would rather die than become someone else’s servant
But even if he could make that choice, the other Harpies couldn’t
Su Chen didn’t bother replying Instead, he remained silent and only continued to stare intently at Eternal Night
Eternal Night began to tremble with emotion
He desperately said, “The Harpies were once enslaved by the Beasts for tens of thousands of years We No matter what, ill never return to a life where our fate is in someone else’s hands Freedom is invaluable We will preserve our freedom no matter what!”
Su Chen calmly replied, “Freedom is precious indeed, but life is even ht to negotiate on this ht helplessly closed his eyes as he bitterly said, “I have truly harmed the Harpies”
Su Chen srand ambitions If you don’t succeed, then you will end up destroying everything you have created Actually, you don’t need to worry aboutthe brunt of the Gods’ wrath If we lose, then our fate will be even worse than yours This is what it reat rises The lowly slaves, however, will be able to survive even if they have no hope of ever reaching the peak If the human race loses Well then, let’s just say that the Harpies will be in s are”
Eternal Night was stunned by Su Chen’s logic, but upon further reflection, he realized that this view actually made quite a bit of sense
The victors of this battle would be saddled with theany future consequences that would arise as a result
Actually, this defeat could, in soood fortune if the Intelligent Races’ battle against the Gods went poorly
But even if he understood this, Eternal Night couldn’t stop hi Su Chen’s arm “Su Chen, promise me that you will not lose! The Harpies would rather serve humans than the Gods!”
Only someone who knew the truth could speak in this way
Su Chen gently nodded “I cannot pro within ht heard this, he tilted his head back and cackled, “Hahahaha, well said, well said! You can only do what is in your power”
His laughter sounded like it was tinged with insanity All of the e he held as a ruler had disappeared
Su Chen knew that Eternal Night was just venting the rage in his heart, so he watched silently
After a long tiive the command to surrender Too many people have died There’s no need to continue like this”
Eternal Night finally stopped laughing and ht It is time”
His tone was despondent, yet it also contained a certain kind of fearlessness towards death
Su Chen knew that Eternal Night would not keep himself alive when he saw this
As a failed leader, he would not allow hi on this continent
Off in the distance, a shocking explosion of light burst forth as the human armies let out a collective cry of joy
That was Sky City’s barrier collapsing co down that barrier
Now, it was time for them to reap the fruit of their labor
The bitter battle to destroy Sky City’s defenses had ended, and the hu to claim Harpy life after Harpy life
