1900 Tyrant or God
âYouâre wrong. Weâre not cockroaches⊠We are a wildfire that burns in the crystal veins buried deep underground.â
Under the pressure of Meng Chaoâs power, the bones in Gu Shaoyuâs body made cracking sounds, and blood kept seeping out of his seven orifices and pores. His face was extremely pale, but his smile grew even brighter. There was a sense of joy in his voice when he said, âEven if you, a tyrant butcher, brandish the Grim Reaperâs scythe and kill many of us, your endless blood will never extinguish our never-ending fire!â
âShaoyu, you disappoint me!â
Gu Shaoyuâs smile finally sparked Meng Chaoâs anger a little.
With a crack, the joints in Gu Shaoyuâs hands and feet were broken. His four limbs were then bent in opposite directions in an unnatural manner.
He twitched in pain and arched his body like a cooked shrimp.
Yet, he sealed his lips tightly and did not let out a single scream.
Meng Chao snorted coldly. A ripple appeared in the air and formed a Giant Spirit Divine Palm. It grabbed Gu Shaoyu by the throat and pulled him toward Meng Chao.
âDo you know what youâre doing?â
Meng Chao stared at his favorite student and right-hand man with a disappointed expression as he asked through gritted teeth.
âOf-Of course I know.â
Gu Shaoyuâs throat made a gurgling sound. It sounded like the groan of a drowning man or the laughter of vengeance. âIâm doing what you, a tyrant, have done countless times.
âIn the past, didnât you deal with the nine great cultivation families like this? Didnât you do the same to anyone who disobeyed you and tried to challenge you inside and outside Dragon City?
âPoisoning, assassination, arson, kidnapping, slander⊠As long as anyone or any force interfered with your plan, you would use the most insidious, crafty, and insane schemes to uproot them.
âWerenât all of us, the âBattle God Palace disciplesâ carefully trained by you to do your dirty job and act as killing machines?
âHow is it? Since weâre just tools for murder, our performance today should be satisfactory to you, right? Haha, hahahaha!â
As he laughed maniacally, the joints in Gu Shaoyuâs limbs were crushed by Meng Chaoâs Void Hand.
His forearms and calves had lost all support. They were now swaying in the air along with his wild laughter.
It was as if he was unwilling to be a puppet anymore and had taken the initiative to break the strings.
âDonât compare me to the nine great cultivation families!â
Meng Chao said coldly, âThe nine great families are a bunch of short-sighted, selfish, and greedy rats. Everything I do is for my compatriots, my homeland, and my entire civilization!
âAllowing the Dragon City civilization to be controlled by the nine great families will only lead to eternal damnation.
âI am the only truth and answer for this civilization. Anyone who tries to stop me or oppose me is an enemy of the entire civilization. Of course, they should be eradicated mercilessly. Is there a problem with that?â
âThe problem is, youâve gone mad, Tyrant.â
âHowever, the nine great families can never unite. They compete with each other, hinder each other, and balance each other out. No one can dominate.
âTo ensure an advantage, the nine great families must consider their interests in all aspects. No matter which family makes a mistake, the other families will attack them and right their wrongs.
âItâs the only way that the Dragon City civilization can ensure power is distributed and balanced. Only then will it win the Monster War and continue on its wobbly path.
â But now, not only have the nine major families fallen apart, but many of the small and medium-sized forces that were on your side in the past have also been ruthlessly eradicated by a tyrant like you because they vehemently opposed you on a certain policy.
âIn the entire Dragon City, more than 95% of the industries and fields are firmly controlled by the Superstar Company. The Dragon City civilization has become your private property.
âHehe. You keep saying that the nine major families are nine tumors attached to Dragon City. If they continue to suck blood from the inside of the civilization, they will seriously hinder the civilizationâs development.
âLittle did they know that Superstar Company has already expanded into a malignant tumor thatâs even larger and more terrifying than the nine major families in the past. Itâs a cancer thatâs eroding the civilization of Dragon City!
âBack then, if one of the nine great families made a mistake, the other eight families would oppose it and seize the opportunity to snatch its market.
âIf the nine major families make a mistake at the same time, all the small and medium-sized enterprises will unite under the Azure Alliance. Together with thousands of ordinary citizens, they can still fight and balance the situation.
âBut now, if a tyrant like you makes a mistake, who can question, oppose, stop, or challenge you?â
Meng Chao grinned.
His teeth sparkled under the illumination of the blazing fire, and they appeared exceptionally sharp.
âI wonât make a mistake,â he said matter-of-factly.
âNever.â
âAll humans make mistakes.â
Gu Shaoyuâs nerves had been burned by the extreme pain. The muscles in his face relaxed, and he calmly said, âPerhaps youâve made countless mistakes. Perhaps youâve made a grave mistake thatâs enough to destroy Dragon City. Itâs just that no one has noticed it yet. Perhaps, those who have noticed it have been destroyed by you in advance.
âIf youâve really never made a mistake from the beginning to the end, from the distant past to the endless future, then you are no longer a human, but a high and mighty god.â
Meng Chaoâs eyes twitched.
In a sense, with his super prediction and the ability to destroy the world, he was indeed gradually breaking away from his human self. He was striding toward a higher dimension of life.
Gu Shaoyu saw through his thoughts.
The young man, whose face was covered in blood, laughed involuntarily.
âI see.
âIt turns out that a tyrant like you, like all the tyrants in the past and present, has been deformed and inflated by infinite power. Youâve lost yourself and no longer regard yourself as a human being but as a lofty, omnipotent god!
âHehe. Those who are ânot one of usâ must have different intentions. If you really are a god, the Dragon City civilization will not be ruled by you because you are not of our kind at all. How can you think from mankindâs perspective and fight for all of us wholeheartedly then?â
