Chapter 402 A World Where People Will Never Be Bullied

Chapter 402 A World Where People Will Never Be Bullied

Kawahara did not take Kaito Kumon directly to the World Tree Consortium, but first took him to the Underworld Forest of Helheim.

Then the two of them went straight into the depths of the forest.

Kawahara had always known that there was a city here, but it had now fallen into ruins, with all traces of civilization submerged by gloomy vegetation.

The air was filled with a damp and decaying smell. This piece of ruins might have once been the brilliant crystallization of a civilization, but it could not change the fate of being swallowed up by the power of the underworld of Helheim.

Qi Wen Jiedou had not explored the underworld of Helheim much. Although he had suspected the power behind the "Outlander Game", he had never thought that the price would be so high.

“Is this a building on Earth?”

"No."

"..."

After receiving this answer, Qiwen Jiedou paused and looked back at the man who was leaning against a pillar.

If it is not a building on Earth, then that means that Helheim may not be something on Earth either, but may come from another unknown space.

So Qu Wen Jie Dou asked again: "Since it appeared on Earth, many humans have been infected by plants during this period. Does it mean that the Earth will become like this in the future?"

He looked around at the collapsed and broken buildings.

Kawahara raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "That's right. The Earth will soon be swallowed up by the flooded Helheim Forest. That's why the World Tree Foundation developed the Battle Drive and the Lock Seed in order to save human civilization."

After hearing this, Qiwen Jiedou thought of something, put on the Zhanji Driver, and picked a fruit from the vines clinging to the pillar.

Looking at the fruit that had transformed into an ordinary lock seed, and recalling what someone had said before, "Humans will turn into monsters if they eat the fruit," Qiwen Jiedou vaguely understood something.

"I see. However, it's probably impossible to equip all of humanity with the Zhan Ji Driver," Qi Wen Jie Dou said firmly.

"Well, you should have heard of Noah's Ark."

"Can we only select a certain group of people?"

Qiwen Jiedou clenched the lock seed, looked at Kawahara, raised his chin and said: "Then I must be the one who can get on the ship!"

Kawahara curled his lips and said, "You accepted the fact that the world is heading towards this end very quickly."

This is why he doesn't like the Qiwen Jiedou.

The feeling of fighting and lying down at the same time.

"This world is one where the fittest survive. In the face of powerful forces, humans can only make this choice." Qu Wen Jie Dou said indifferently.

"Not always."

Kawahara curled his lips and looked at him dimly: "Kiwamon Kaito, if you obtained the power of the Helheim Forest, what would you do?"

"What?" Qu Wen Jie Dou paused when he heard that.

"The power of Helheim Forest is enough to affect the entire world, even creation and destruction. So if - you can control the power of this forest by yourself, how will you use this power?" Kawahara stared at him.

"I will use it to create a world where the weak can also survive!" Qu Wen Jie Dou answered with a firm look.

"A world where the weak can survive?"

Kawahara smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "So what you mean is that this world is not suitable for the 'weak' to survive, right?"

Although Qi Wen Jie Dou did not answer this sentence, his firm attitude did not change at all.

Kawahara's expression slowly faded: "Kiwamon Kaito, in your world there should only be the 'strong' and the 'weak', but unfortunately, you wanted to create such a world not to protect the 'weak' from being bullied by the 'strong'!"

The last words were suddenly sharp. Qu Wen Jie Dou looked at him in a daze, and then he ran into a pair of dark and gloomy eyes.

Those eyes as deep as the universe stared straight at him, and as the words rang out again, Qi Wen Jie Dou also felt a heavy and oppressive aura.

"It's quite the opposite, the Exorcist Ring Fight—

“Because you hate the weak, and even hate the existence of the weak, you actually want to create a world where there are no weak people.

"In that world, everyone is strong and they don't need to rely on anyone for protection.

“And you who are above everyone else—you can always stand at the top and look down on them. You think that as long as you don’t bully them, there will be no weak people in this world who will be bullied.

“But you forget that each of them is a strong person, so each of them will inevitably fight for their own strength.

"This so-called world is nothing more than another never-ending Colosseum!"

Kawahara's expression turned completely cold. As he was approaching, Qiwen Jiedou's pupils dilated slightly, but he was still staring at him closely.

If one wants to use the power of Helheim to create a new world, the most convenient way is to destroy the existing world and reorganize it. Therefore, the so-called world where "the weak will not be bullied" is actually just the elimination of all the weak first.

After all, if there are no "weak" people, how can we protect the weak?

Qu Wen Jie Dou clenched the lock seed in his hand and looked at Kawahara without avoiding it.

He said with a resolute tone, "Fighting for one's own strength, pursuing greater power, and becoming stronger in order not to be trampled by the strong - I think there is nothing wrong with that."

Kawahara didn't say anything for a while. He just looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then suddenly looked up at the top of the valley.

Two figures appeared on the cliff in the distance.

——Takatora Wudao and Kota Kuzuba.

Kawahara: "..."

Earlier, Wu Daoguitora had to wear a leather suit before he appeared, but in just a short while, the two of them had already taken off their vests and were honest with each other?
But he thought about it and realized that since Wudao Guitora already had a better way to save the world, he would not be fooled by Geye Hongta in just a few words.

Kawahara exhaled, turned around and walked out of the ruins while saying calmly: "I'll take you to see something."

Qu Wen Jie Dou was a little confused about his attitude. He paused and then followed him. However, after walking a few steps, he turned back to look at the ruins.

……

It's like a cursed land.

The former palaces, temples and squares are now covered with fruit-bearing vines and plants, leaving only desolation and loneliness.

It was as if civilization had never existed.

"Perhaps there were humans in this world's past, and they built cities and civilizations. However, after the Helheim Forest appeared, everything was covered by the forest."

Wudao Guihu looked at the stunned Kuzuya Hirota and said calmly: "It's just like Sawame City today."

Ge Yehongtai opened his mouth in shock: "Then...what about the people who lived here in the past? Where are they now?"

He was almost anxious.

"Didn't I tell you already? Any creature that eats the fruit here will turn into a monster called an 'aliens.'" Wudao Guihu said in a deep voice.

"how so……"

Kuzuya Hirota shook his head in panic.

When the forests of Helheim cover the earth, they will corrode the plants on the earth and transform them into those devilish fruits.

Therefore, if creatures want to continue to survive in the eroded world, they can only eat those fruits and eventually be assimilated by the power of Helm. This is probably how the civilization before us was destroyed.

……

"The civilization you just saw is probably the fate of the world you create in the future."

Kawahara returned to his usual casual demeanor and spoke slowly.

Qiwen Jiedou frowned and looked at him: "Why?"

"Because you are caught in an endless struggle, even if you have the power to control the world, you will not be able to lead the remaining humans to survive. Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, everything will eventually be destroyed."

Kawahara walked forward while talking, and suddenly a red alien monster jumped out in front of them.

Unlike the monsters that had appeared in Sawama City in the past, this alien with weapons in his hands even raised his hands and made some movements of his own will towards them.

"who are you……"

A voice with a special rhythm came from the mouth of the monster opposite. Qi Wen Jie Dou couldn't understand whether it was talking, but he was already on guard at the first moment.

"Is this an alien?!" he asked vigilantly.

"They are a type of alien, but they are generally called "overlord aliens."

Kawahara raised his hand and waved it as he spoke, and the surrounding vines instantly flew over and tied up the overlord. Until this moment, the opponent was still confused.

After struggling in vain, it looked at Kawahara in shock: "Who are you? Why can you use the power of Helheim Forest?! You..."

At this moment, suddenly an invisible and huge sense of oppression came from all directions, and the overlord aliens who tried to resist immediately became quiet in fear.

Qu Wen Jie Dou was also a little surprised. He looked at the Overlord Alien who was talking in a gibberish: "Is it intelligent? Is it talking?"

Kawahara pointed at it and said, "You should look like this in the future. It just so happens that you are the same color."

Expelling Pattern Ring Fight: "..."

He was somewhat accustomed to Kawahara's sarcasm and did not respond, and Kawahara also urged him to continue.

"Let's go, ignore it."

……

The True Red Overlord Alien that stayed in place was silent, and waited until the two people had disappeared. After a long time, it cautiously untied the vines on its own.

"Overlord Aliens" are a special type of monster in Helheim's underworld - although they have been eroded by Helheim's underworld, they have maintained their self-awareness through their strong willpower and gained the power to control Helheim's underworld.

After the unsuspecting [World Tree Consortium] discovered them, they believed them to be the masters of the underworld of Helheim.

But at present, there is actually only one real "master".

The winner of the previous civilization's battle for the golden fruit - Bai Ya.

……

This is a Bangshan cave that can barely be called a residence.

Maybe monsters don't need to live well, or maybe Bai Ya just likes to exile himself like this, so even if there are civilizations and buildings left in the forest, this group of overlords and foreigners are unwilling to repair them and move in.

"He said a new 'fruit' was born. Is that you? - Why did you come to me?"

Bai Ya, who had already noticed Kawahara's approach, was not surprised by their arrival. Standing at the edge of the cave, he slowly turned around. The white monster's body looked like an ancient priest, and his face with no visible features was as strange as some kind of distorted and sad expression.

What Bai Ya said was directly human language.

Qu Wen Jiedou, who understood what he heard, was surprised. At the same time, he was also sure that the monster's chattering just now should be a language.

Qiwen Jiedou realized something in an instant, looked at Kawahara and asked, "Are they the survivors of that civilization?"

——There are creatures from the previous civilization still living in the underworld forest of Helm? !
But why has he never shown up?
From the True Red Overlord alien who blocked the way just now to the alien who can speak human language now, it is obvious that the other party knows the existence of humans.

Kawahara seemed to see his confusion and explained, "These aliens with their own will are usually called the "overlords" of Helheim Forest. The overlord in front of you is currently autistic. He doesn't want to appear in front of people, so he also prohibits other overlords and aliens from contacting humans."

Expelling Pattern Ring Fight: "..."

Bai Ya: “…”

Kawahara then looked at Bai Ya and said, "You should have been observing humans for a long time. I know what your purpose is."

Bai Ya was silent for a while and then said, "So you are going to stop me? Although I don't know what your power is, I will not compromise."

As it said this, it raised its hands and prepared for battle.

When Baiya took away the "golden fruit" of human civilization, Sagara also accused it of being wrong.

However, Bai Ya's determination cannot be shaken, and Sagara never takes the initiative to interfere in these matters (just talks about it), so the golden fruit is still in Bai Ya's hands.

Kawahara said calmly: "I'm not here to take what you have, but this guy seems to be in line with what you were pursuing, so I want him to stay with you for a while, is that okay?"

Quwen Jiedou: “??!”

Realizing instantly that he was about to be sold out, Qi Wen Jie Dou immediately said, "Don't make the decision for me. I won't stay here!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

——Sure enough, he is just like Bai Ya, who is ready to take action after just a few words.

Kawahara snapped his fingers, and several vines suddenly snaked out from the bare mountain wall, binding the Qiwen Jiedou tightly.

He said with a smile: "Qu Wen Jie Dou, to be honest, I really don't like you, so staying here is the best arrangement for you."

"Then Ge Ye Hongtai will be fine?" The struggling Qi Wen Jiedou suddenly looked at him.

"what?"

"If you don't want me to obtain the power of this forest, then can Kuzuya Kota do it? - That weak guy!" Qiwen Jiedou asked again.

"..."

Kawahara paused for a long moment and said, "Of course not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kawahara controlled the vines to wrap around Qiwen Jiedou's head, and then moved towards Bai Ya who was silent beside him.

"Why would I do this?" Bai Ya asked.

"I still don't know how to deal with this guy, and I can't get rid of him directly. I don't want to spend a lot of time communicating with him, but I think you two are very similar, and you should be able to chat."

Kawahara frowned and said, "Of course, in exchange, I can also agree to one condition of yours."

Hearing this, Bai Ya said without hesitation, as if being a second slower would be a disrespect to his persistence over the years.

"Resurrect my princess!"
