Chapter 1000: Words of Love and Hate
Looking at Victor's body completely collapsed on the ground due to pain and crazy laughter, Smith Zhou pursed the corner of his mouth and showed a strange look.
"You said, is human hatred really that powerful?"
Victor was unable to answer this question. Because now he really had no strength to continue speaking. However, Smith Zhou did not need him to give any answers, because he was already talking to himself and expressing his point of view.
"Human love is pale. In just a few years, it can be forgotten completely in more than ten years. There are only a few loves that can be engraved in the bones and are always remembered. But hatred is always so profound. One thousand years, ten thousand years. As long as a person has not died, he will never be forgotten."
Speaking of this, Smith Zhou didn't know what he remembered, so he raised his left hand and looked at his palm. He was obviously trapped in his own contemplation. And while he was thinking, Victor had slowly breathed evenly.
At this time, Mephisto's devil power had quietly started to operate in his body. Although the attribute was evil, this power directly gave him a generous gift to the new master.
It repaired all the trauma on Victor's body. At the same time, it also brought him a feeling of fullness and strength that he had never felt. At this time, Victor could clearly feel that he could even crush his original self to pieces with just one finger. At the same time, what he could feel was the power and terror of the person around him.
Smith Zhou did not hide his power, and although he could, he did not do so. Because he knew how important the necessary deterrence was for a guy who suddenly swelled up. So he let go of his hiding and let him feel his power in the most direct way.
And this deterrence is obviously useful. Because after feeling the deep and terrifying power of Smith Zhou's body, Victor put away all the expressions on his face that he shouldn't have, such as arrogance, as fast as possible. Instead, he lowered his head respectfully and carefully followed the topic before Smith Zhou.
"Shouldn't human love and hate be together? How could it be that without love, so deep hatred?"
He just wanted to express his opinion simply, and had no other intentions. But listening to his words, Smith Zhou's pupils shrank, and then he showed the gentle smile he had always been used to.
"What about you? You hate Mephisto so deeply that when you take everything away, you can even smile and suppress the pain you endured. I have seen many human warriors use this weapon, but they can be as crazy as you, but there is no one. And according to you, what is your reason? What do you love?"
A man who had just created more than 100 million deaths actually talked to himself in such a tone about what human love is. This made Victor immediately feel absurd and ridiculous. But he didn't laugh, and he didn't even dare to have a slight expression in this regard. He just lowered his head, without any concealment, and respectfully exposed everything about himself.
"The reason why I hate Mephisto so deeply is because of his torture. I suffered all kinds of suffering under his hands. He drove me like a slave, almost trampling everything about me in the mud. This is something I absolutely cannot bear. So I have decided to take revenge on him."
"On the other hand, it was because of my mother. My mother was a witch. While she was studying magic, she summoned Mephisto's peep. Mephisto took away her soul and made me lose my mother from then on. I once asked him to exchange for my mother's soul. But what he gave me was just an empty shell. My mother had become a monster, and such things could no longer be called my mother. So Mephisto killed her. It was precisely because of this that I hated him so deeply."
Although he was talking about a tragedy, Victor did not have even a slight sentimental meaning in his expression or tone. He said everything indifferently, as if he was telling someone else's story.
|When looking at his performance, Smith Zhou, who had already put on a mask, immediately laughed with interest.
"This is the first time I know you have such a past. If that's the case, can you tell me where do you think your hatred for Mephisto comes from? Your mother's affairs? Or your own affairs?"
This question was something Victor had never thought about. So when Smith Zhou asked this question, the expression on his face was stunned. However, this stupid look did not last long, because he had already thought of an answer in just a moment.
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it. To be honest, when I think about this question, I really think more about the torture I have endured. Everything about my mother has been forgotten almost completely. Even a little bit of memories is already something that is unclear. Such things are not enough to support my hatred for Mephisto. What also supports this is just my love for myself."
The answer was the most true thought in his heart. He told Smith and Zhou directly without hiding it. Such an answer immediately made Smith and Zhou narrow his eyes and smile at him.
"Do you know? Your answer reminds me of a student I used to be. He is like you, and he never puts anyone in his heart, whether it is his parents, wife or me, as a teacher. He only cares about himself, and he has truly achieved the point of teaching me to let the world down and not let the world down. Do you know who this person is?"
Without even guessing, Victor shook his head. He had reached a point of being so taboo about Smith Zhou's past. Even though he had already informed him of the source, he did not have the courage to find something he shouldn't have known.
His attitude is very clear. That is, if you say it, I will listen. If you don’t say it, I will know nothing.
This is an attitude of a smart person being out of the matter. Smith Zhou just smiled helplessly, then showed a look of memories, and said to him with some regret.
"Before my student became the lord of a country, he was the prince Zheng of the Zhao clan of Ying. Later, he did a shocking cause. At that time, he only called him the name of the First Emperor. He is very similar to you, and you are all the people who just want to do it for themselves. Such people usually have a special name, that is, the hero."
When Victor suddenly heard this, his cold sweat broke out. Although this is a title for a specific hero, it is definitely not a suitable title for Victor's current situation. Even if it is called this title, it is simply a fatal thing.
Throughout history, the most unbearable thing for any guy who is a master is probably a hero hiding under his command. Because such a result is often very miserable. Not only will he be conspired to be plotted against, but more importantly, all his foundation will only become the wedding dress of others.
Therefore, any master will only have one action to the heroes under his command, which is to kill them all. At this point, Victor did not believe that Smith and Zhou would be the exception. So he immediately knelt down and said to him in the most sincere tone.
"Sir, I swear I have absolutely no intention of betraying you. I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Smith Zhou stopped him.
"This is not important, Victor. I have seen countless people, heroes, heroes, and treacherous heroes. Countless heroes have appeared in my life. Maybe they are not common for an era. But for me, I have seen too many such existences. So, it doesn't matter whether you are a hero or not."
Having said this, he slowly stretched out one of his hands and then clenched it into a fist bit by bit.
"The important thing is whether you can become my power. I have said that you are very similar to my disciples. You have determination, ability, wisdom, and ambition to never extinguish. This is a terrible thing for many people. But for human beings, this is the greatest gospel. It is interesting to say that although human beings always regard wars and those war promoters as evildoers and devils, the progress and development of human beings themselves are almost entirely based on the merits of these people. This is something that ordinary people who are used to the beautiful world weaving in false words will not understand and are unwilling to understand. But I am very clear about this. Therefore, I am very sure of the role you can play in my plan."
"I don't care about your problems, because I have absolute strength to suppress you. The future of mankind belongs to me, and I will be the master of this future. So I can tolerate existences like you. But Victor, I can accept you, but are you willing to contribute your strength to me with your whole heart?"
Victor did not reply directly, but just knelt respectfully on the ground. He touched the ground with his forehead, using this oldest etiquette of surrender to show what kind of attitude he is now.
As for his statement, Smith Zhou, who already understood his feelings, immediately laughed.
"Very good! Then, I have a task that you need to do!" (To be continued...)
