In response to Yang Yu's questioning, the purple flame under the Demon King's helmet kept flashing.
Yang Yu didn't say anything else and waited quietly for the Demon King to give his answer.
After a long time, the Demon King slowly spoke:
“From your current performance, you are indeed a little different from others.
What are your plans after knowing the truth
What can you change
Even if you are not a person who acts for your own interests, there are millions of other people in this world who act for their own interests.
You must be clear that everything you do now will be labeled as colluding with the demons, and you will be excluded by them.
The Demon King in the past has witnessed such things countless times."
“But there are also many people in this world who are open to new ideas.
Their ideas are not static.
For example, if it were in the past, I would not have the courage to let my friends go first and come here alone.
I will not come over and have a conversation with you like this, but will rush over to you without saying a word, loudly asking, "Why do you want to hurt people in this world?", "Why do you want to start a war?", and attack you with a knife in hand. "
Yang Yu smiled at the Demon King again.
"The decisions you make now and the thoughts you have now are also affected by things after becoming the Demon King.
I admit that some people's thinking is completely fixed, and it is extremely difficult to reverse their thinking patterns that have been in place for decades.
To be honest, there happened to be such a fool in my team.
In the early and middle stages of my adventure, it was basically of no use and even caused some trouble.
However, she was not always like that and eventually changed.
It is often said that a person's nature is like a dog that can never change its nature.
Maybe there really are people like that.
The world is so vast that we will never be able to know exactly what kind of people exist in it.
I don’t want to deny the possibility of the whole because of a few people.
Similarly, just because the demons are extremely brutal in this world, we will not deny that there are actually some demons who desire to coexist peacefully with us.
That's why I am standing here now, trying to communicate with the Demon King, trying to understand the truth of the past.
Then, based on the truth I learned, I decided my next course of action.
If the Demon King still refuses and is unwilling to try to communicate with me, he will kill us all with a stick.
In the end, the only way left for us is resistance.”
Every word Yang Yu said was very logical, and the purple light under the Demon King's helmet flickered violently.
“What you just said was extremely brilliant.
I can't help but want to applaud you. It's been a long time since I met someone who could say something that could shake me.
But what you said is just an ideal situation after all.
There is nothing without cost in this world.
Even if you bend down to pick up a stone, it will cost you energy.
Whether something is worth doing or not is largely determined by cost and benefit.
If you couldn't use any tools or magic, would you climb a 15-meter-high tree and pick a rotten fruit
Even if we try our best to spread the truth to the world, how many people will be willing to believe it and join us
Think about it carefully.
Just now you asked whether the demon kings in the past had suffered losses in this regard.
That's right.
They have tried their best to communicate with the people in this world.
But in the end, he was backstabbed and failed. "
"So, you chose the simplest and most convenient method?"
“Not only is it the simplest and most convenient method, it is also the most conservative method.
It is precisely because I don’t know what this world is like that I have resorted to such measures.
Rather than risking a thankless task by gradually getting to know other people as you say, it is better to adopt this strategy from the beginning.
We have tried many times and have gone through an extremely long time. No one can tell what will happen in the future.
Including you, three apostles of the goddess have descended this time.
The power of the Goddess is growing stronger, and we don't have many chances left to try.
The nature of living things is to seek benefits and avoid harm, and this world is probably the same.
How much do you know about ancient civilizations? Do you know the existence of 'Luka'
Why did they use "Luka" as their nickname
Can the people in this world really understand the existence of 'Luca'
What if those in high positions are aware of Luca's existence in order to maintain their power
They are likely to live according to their own nature.
Life, in its essence, is competition and adaptation.
When the same life is isolated in different spaces, competition and adaptation will make them different.
If the two isolated spaces are reintegrated together, it will be difficult for the two changed races to blend together, and what awaits them is new competition and adaptation.
Whoever has greater power will have more say.
The same is true for humans.
The competition between them may be even more brutal.
There is something called emotion between humans.
Emotions will interfere with people's decision-making to a certain extent.
Even if the dispute arises from interests at the beginning, once it is caught up in endless hatred, it is almost impossible to make a big thing small.
Unless one party can offer a bigger piece of profit to the other party and bow down to it.
But can you ensure that this will not make the party who receives the gift feel endlessly superior, wanting the compromising party to give more and demand more
We, the demon race, come to this world again and again to achieve our goals.
I have tried to change your impression, but unfortunately
Since people in this world think that we are a group of brutal people, I don't mind bearing this name and acting according to their expectations until we completely achieve our goal.
Boy, I know much more than you.
How much of what I am saying now can you understand?"
Holding his chin in thought, Yang Yu replied, "I can understand most of it!
I think I know what you are thinking about now.
You will make such a choice and have your own considerations.
I'm gradually beginning to understand some of your ideas.
To be honest, I don’t know whether what I am doing now is right or wrong.
Maybe one day, I will suddenly realize that everything I have done is wrong.
Even if you really tell me the truth, I will probably still be skeptical.
But, I will think.
It's not just about listening to one side, but about listening to all the voices you can hear and then making judgments based on them.
This judgment may be biased due to my life experience.
But at least, it can help me to move forward with determination on some things.
Just like now.”
