Azdahaka could not come to a clear conclusion when judging the level at which the gods were operating.
If there is evidence, look at the evidence. If there is no evidence, then you can only make subjective judgments based on your own experience.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Azdahaka naturally thought that the Greek gods knew about his clone in order to gain merit after defeating him.
——In fact, it is precisely to make him create more clones, consume his own spiritual energy, and boil the frog in warm water.
If Canary were in Azdahaka's position, he would consider multiple possibilities, determine the probability of being a frog in boiling water, and bring the subsequent battle situation into the model in real time, update the probability, and determine his own behavior based on the probability.
Azidahaka also considered the possibility that this might be a deliberate attempt to make him split into two, but he convinced himself.
In his mind, gods and Buddhas are the kind of people who would rather reduce the probability of attacking him so that they can get more credit after the attack.
……
The three-headed dragon's clone gradually took shape.
Azdahaka couldn't help but frown.
He still remembered the recent crusade against him by Arcadia.
He was very satisfied with that battle. The heroes used their wisdom, bravery and strength to the fullest. They were not afraid of sacrifice in the battle and at the same time they trusted each other. In fact, from the very beginning, the battle was aimed at no sacrifice.
It is precisely because they are not afraid of sacrifice that they can share the pain with each other with almost no sacrifice.
Some unexpected events occurred during the crusade, and he was indeed a little dissatisfied, but to be honest, Azdahaka had actually expected this.
Most gods and Buddhas are discussing interests, but you are discussing ideals. If you don't have problems, who will? If you don't die, who will die?
Azdahaka was well aware of the situation in the box.
There are indeed many idealists. Gods and Buddhas are born out of faith. The more resolute the will of the gods themselves is, the easier it is for them to become stronger, and the more likely they are to never turn back even if they hit a wall.
Among idealists, there are quite a few strong ones.
However, most of the gods are still primarily concerned with profit.
A big reason for this is the existence of a two-digit mechanism within the box.
Those who are willing to become two-digit people are mostly idealists, and two-digit people have semi-exited from the sandbox.
But among the top three-digit numbers... there are quite a few who focus on pursuing profits.
Many times, two strong ones appear in a group of gods in the box garden. According to the box garden model, it will be more beneficial to the development of the group if one of them becomes a double-digit number.
After a discussion within the group of gods, the relatively idealistic one would generally express his willingness to sacrifice for the group of gods, and the number eventually fell into the double digits.
As far as Azdahaka knew, the Mother of Evil was also half counted in the double digits.
The reason why it is called "half" is because the Mother of Evil does not want to become a double-digit number. She thinks that the methods of the Zoroastrian God of Good are too gentle and cannot accomplish anything, so she wants to stay in the box garden to guard the group of gods.
But the Mother of Evil did not think that her good god was despicable and only interested in profit. She trusted the attitude of her good god.
After reaching double digits, it becomes difficult to control the details of one's own power.
In the sandbox, at the two-digit level, there are more idealists, and at the top three-digit level, there are all kinds of people.
Among ordinary three-digit and four-digit numbers, there are too many that put profit above all else.
The top three-digit and two-digit players have the ability to declare their attitudes in the box, while the weak ones are helpless.
But what was Arcadia's reason back then?
If Arcadia can gain the merit of defeating the dystopian demon king and build up a top-level combat force, it may be qualified to express its attitude in the box garden and support reducing the interference of gods and Buddhas in human history.
Gods and Buddhas who are profit-oriented cannot do anything to such strong people in terms of strength, and it is impossible for them to unite and risk being beaten to death - people who want to make money will never do this.
But Arcadia was missing a pillar.
For the top group of gods, there is no shortage of top three-digit figures, but there is a shortage of top human history researchers.
Researchers who can fill grace to a level recognized by human history are the guarantee of the prosperity of the top gods.
For the general group of gods, the top three figures are a bit lacking in game hosts,
Top-level game hosts can make their own team invincible in the box garden, and can also win resources from other gods through the game of favor.
But for communities without top three-digit numbers, the role of top game organizers is far less useful than that of top three-digit numbers.
The top three-digit number is 'Wu', and the top game organizer is 'Zhi'. Arcadia back then only had Zhi but no Wu.
Having only force but no wisdom can threaten the group of gods pursuing interests in the box garden. Having only wisdom but no force is really not enough.
Arcadia was just one step away back then.
There were two final trials to conquer humans. No matter which one was successful, Arcadia would be able to come up with a three-digit number at home after gaining enough merit.
It is somewhat difficult to reach the top three digits in a short period of time, but as long as it approaches that level, Arcadia will at least be able to protect itself - after all, it still has allies!
You are very weak, and your allies will not be able to help you in time when something happens.
We can barely stand on our own, so we give our allies a chance, and then they can exert their strength.
During the crusade that year, Azdahaka felt that something was bound to happen.
In the crusade against Dystopia, Arcadia failed to take the merit of crossing the final trial of humanity. It may be that they did not have the ability and could only eliminate the opponent.
But because of this, the order is wrong.
The correct order is to take down Dystopia first, produce a strong person who can barely stand on his own in Arcadia, and then form a lower-level alliance.
The lower-level alliance was formed to fight against him and pile up a top three-digit number.
In this way, the Little Garden Gods had no chance to intervene.
But the first step went wrong, and he didn’t get the credit for being the dystopian devil.
There are no strong people in Arcadia who can stand on their own, but they are already working on forming a lower-level alliance.
Putting yourself in the spotlight when you have no ability is a way to death.
Chapter 81
Azdahaka is a strong man who is relatively idealistic.
Moreover, when he was in the box garden, Azdahaka had never worked in the upper echelons of the gods. Even his overlord, the Mother of Evil, had never dominated the operations of the upper echelons of the gods.
After looking at the current battlefield, he quickly got distracted.
At the beginning, he saw that the gods and Buddhas in the box garden only used four-digit numbers to deal with him, and it was not the kind of four-digit numbers that would cause crystallization at the level. He thought that the gods were trying to use numbers to fight him.
Azdahaka really disliked this kind of battle.
As a demon king, he looked forward to the challenge of the brave, but these people did not come here to win from the beginning.
Those who construct a worldview with defective spirituality are victims from the very beginning.
Azdahaka is not against sacrifice. It is common sense for a brave man to challenge the devil and sacrifice must be made, but the sacrifice must be valuable.
If the person concerned feels that his sacrifice is part of the plan, that his sacrifice is to defeat the devil and save the world, and that he sacrificed voluntarily... this is highly consistent with the concept of the evil god of Zoroastrianism.
But what if some people are destined to be sacrificed from the moment they are born, and join the war not for their ideals, or even out of their own ideas, but because they have to?
Azdahaka could see the psychology of these combatants. The situation was clearly shown in the battles between these combatants and his clones.
If these people try their best to suppress his clones as much as possible, then participating in this battle is out of the will of these four-digit figures themselves.
But not.
In the battle with the clone, these people actually reserved some of their strength, as if to deal with unexpected situations.
The soldiers who charge ahead on the battlefield, fight bravely and leave their backs to their comrades are making great achievements and defending their country.
Soldiers who pretend to be serious on the battlefield, looking around and searching for relatively safe enemy forces, either cannot survive without being soldiers, or are forcibly conscripted into the army.
In Azdahaka's eyes, these four-digit numbers belong to the latter.
Perhaps the gods had given these four-digit numbers some conditions that would benefit their future generations, or perhaps these people had already accepted their fate when they constructed their defective spiritual bodies.
What Azdahaka could accept was that these people's participation in the war would cause him certain troubles, but in the end, it would contribute to saving the world and overcoming absolute evil.
If these combatants realize the significance of their actions and actively choose to fight and face sacrifice, Azdahaka respects them as real men.
But if these people are not even given the chance to choose whether to join the war or not, and it is decided by the gods, and these people essentially just want to survive... that would be disgusting.
It's not the participants in the war who are disgusting, but the gods and Buddhas who make these people participate in the war.
Objectively speaking, regardless of whether these people have any meaning in joining the war or whether they take the initiative to join the war, it will have an impact on Azdahaka.
But Azdahaka would rather these people were ready to sacrifice, thinking that they would rather die than bite off a piece of flesh from him, while these people did not participate in the battle, but just wanted to get through the battle as much as possible and be alive after the war.
It is natural for human beings to cherish their lives. But it is natural that a four-digit number who cherishes their lives would appear on the battlefield of the final trial against humanity.
Isn't this a joke?
When the Canaries attacked him, although mistakes were made at crucial moments, Azdahaka was very satisfied with the battle.
It is a story about the weak uniting as one and almost defeating the strong.
Azdahaka felt disgusted with the current battle.
What's the point of forcing others to sacrifice themselves in the name of justice? What's the point of putting people who only think about self-preservation in battle on such a battlefield?
When someone sacrifices themselves, that's respectable.
What do you call it when someone forces someone who doesn't want to sacrifice themselves to sacrifice themselves?
But as the situation developed, Azdahaka vaguely felt that something was wrong.
——It was not that he realized it, Athena just wanted him to create a clone and consume his own spiritual power.
Personal prejudices are deeply ingrained and difficult to resolve.
Azdahaka is not familiar with the Greek gods. Greece's reputation is still good in the box, but Azdahaka doesn't know much about it.
As the situation gradually developed, Azdahaka keenly realized one thing from the perspective of the results - the other party was asking him to continue to create clones.
The purpose of creating a clone is to make him damage his spiritual power.
So if he continues to do this, will it be beneficial or harmful to him?
At this moment, Azdahaka's thoughts were distorted by the prejudice in his heart.
In theory, he shouldn't do what the enemy asks him to do.
But this also depends on the facts.
Azdahaka does not believe in gods and Buddhas in the sky. He does not believe in gods and Buddhas as a group, not that he thinks all individual gods and Buddhas are not to be believed in.
