Chapter 185 Fickel

What is the meaning of life?
A. Godora felt he was qualified to answer the question.

He must be living a second life. If the memories of the hero A. Godora can be considered his first life, then for this imposter, being asked to live his own life and pursue his own destiny is probably his second life.

His feelings were actually very complicated.

When the girls created him, they made him A. Godora, but they knew better than anyone that he could never truly become A. Godora. Despite being given the same memories, they were more discerning than anyone else. They said they wanted to replace that person, but the only ones who believed that person was irreplaceable were their own creators.

This is not surprising. Some things are irreplaceable, which is why people frantically search for substitutes. If a substitute already exists, then there is no need to create it.

Logically speaking, I should feel resentment.

The girls only care about their own feelings, creating him on their own and rejecting him on their own—what meaning does such a person have in the world?

This was tantamount to betraying himself. He knew what had happened to Doro; these girls were doing the same things as before, only concerned with their own feelings and not with the feelings of others—they always arbitrarily considered things according to their own way of thinking. They had never truly considered Doro's, or A. Godora's, thoughts.

It's no wonder that Doro abandoned the name, left these women, and chose a different way of life.

Therefore, logically speaking, he should harbor resentment towards these women, just like Doro in the past—despair and disappointment were inevitable. I heard that Mr. Doro was depressed for many years because of this.

but.

Perhaps because he knew from the beginning that he was an imposter, even though those vivid memories of the past and the girls existed in his mind as if they had really happened, he was very clear that they were just fantasies that had never happened to him. He also knew the meaning of his creation, and he knew that he was not truly loved or cherished—he was "something unimportant".

Therefore, I don't feel sad at all.

From this perspective, he was indeed not A. Godora. He and the real person named Doro, and the prototype that existed in this body, were vastly different from the very beginning. He thought they were the same, but in reality, they were two different kinds of people.

They cannot be exactly the same.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. In the end, if everything had been exactly the same, he should have leaped to a higher realm in that battle, but that didn't actually happen.

Therefore, at this moment, the being named A. Godora is a brand new life, an independent individual, not a substitute for anyone. He simply possesses some unique memories, and he doesn't need to be troubled by these memories... On the contrary, he should be grateful to those girls, who, like mothers, brought him into this world. What child in the world would blame their mother?

Moreover, he not only possesses life, but also power.

A force that is powerful enough to be called a force in this world.

"I acknowledge your will as a hero—"

This is what the man named Doro said... He was a man of great courage. Even though he knew he was a manufactured substitute, he still held expectations for himself, this imposter. He gave himself enough space to show his power and enough pressure to try to grow.

Even though his performance disappointed him, he never blamed himself—A. Godora could feel it, could feel the expectations the man named Doro had for him, that he truly hoped that he could reach his realm, that he truly hoped that he could replace him and exist in the name of the hero.

But I can't do it. I can't do it.

Even after his defeat... the man chose to take responsibility, and without hesitation, he stepped forward, choosing to become the "King of Men".

So, in fact, he has never changed. A. Godora and Doro are actually the same person.

So, will he still use the name A. Godora?
It seems unnecessary.

Mr. Doro named himself Doro to commemorate his new life, or perhaps to forget the past. But what about himself?

It seems I should give myself a new name for my new life and for a better future.

What should I call it?
He was originally a fake of Mr. Doro; perhaps he should be called "Fikel".

That's a good name.

He decided to use this name as his new identity.

In his memory, he had a great deal of knowledge about this world, but he already knew that Doro's feelings were not his own, Doro's thoughts were not his own, and Doro's decisions were not his own. Therefore, he should listen according to his own will, see according to his own desires, and think according to his own thoughts... As for what outcome he would ultimately reach, what path he would take, and in what form he would ultimately die... those were other questions.

He should go and see what the world is like.

……

“Nature Ranger, judging from your appearance, you must have become the new ruler of the Elf race.” The raven landed on a flower and spoke in human language to the Nature Ranger who had appeared at the banquet, “You should know why I’m here.”

"I know, Demon King, but for the elves to pledge allegiance to you is an extremely dangerous option. After all, you once lost to the hero; do you have the confidence to achieve victory now?"

The raven's dark pupils revealed no change in emotion. It simply said, "If you think I'll lose, you can seek refuge with the Hero. I think the magnanimous Hero won't mind. At most, he only killed the Elf Queen and wanted to wipe out the Ancestral Land. It's not a big deal. The Elf race is large and powerful; they can probably withstand this level of damage."

The Nature Ranger's expression wasn't too pleasant. She wasn't a qualified politician; she had been pulled in at the last minute. She was somewhat at a loss when it came to dealing with someone like Moh: "The matter between you and Doro is not a reason for us to pledge allegiance to you."

"That's why I said it doesn't matter."

"..."

The Nature Ranger fell silent; she simply stared at the crow.

After a long pause, the crow sighed: "Whose idea is it to push someone like you to be the new queen? You have absolutely no political wisdom, and you don't even know how to change the subject in this situation—are you trying to gain some benefits from me?"

"That's what the elders taught me."

"You're really honest. If I were the only being in the world, you would only be destroyed if you tried to negotiate with me, just like some intelligent races that existed in history. However, now that Mr. Doro also exists in the world, I can't use such methods to deal with you. Instead, I have to offer you some real benefits to make you willing to submit to me. This is really bad news."

She thought for a moment and said, "Your Elf Mother Tree is finished. However, if you can take over Buto City, I can help you transform that World Tree into something similar to your Elf Mother Tree. This is precisely the property of the World Tree. Your original one was born in this way."

The Nature Ranger looked at the crow in surprise, naturally shocked by this information. She stared at Mohe in disbelief: "You're telling me this? Aren't you afraid we'll have to go find the World Tree and perform the transformation ourselves?"

The raven flapped its wings: "I've already said it before, it's up to you. Do whatever you want, whether it's siding with Mr. Doro or transforming the World Tree. As the new queen of the elves, you have the qualifications and the right to do so. Of course, you should also bear the corresponding responsibilities. When doing things, you can't just think about the benefits of success, you also have to consider the consequences of failure—what do you think?"

"……Been taught a lesson."

The crow then flew away.

This elf, who once roamed the world as a nature ranger, wore a bitter smile.

She knew what kind of being the Demon King was, and she knew that the world harbored many misunderstandings about him. The way people viewed the Demon King and how the Demon King viewed people were two completely different concepts. Different races had created different terrifying legends about the Demon King, and within the Demon Realm, the Demons didn't even consider other races a threat; many of them disdained to even make contact with other races.

The more he witnessed the world's many wonders, the more he understood the world's significance to the Demon King.

She shouldn't be in a position of power—that's the conclusion she reached after her travels. What's the point of being a leader among the elves? It's better to be a free elf—until she was forced to step in and take charge. Only then did she learn of the profound changes that had occurred within the elven race.

In fact, she didn't even know when the Demon King died.

Outdated...

The elves had no choice. The death of the previous elven queen, the destruction of the ancestral land, and the withering of the elven mother tree left them with no way out; they truly had no other option.

Choosing Toro is meaningless.

Even though the opponent possessed power equal to that of the Demon King, he did not display the Demon King's "omnipotence." For the Elf race, the absence of the Elf Mother Tree meant the extinction of their lineage; every death meant one less to go.

The crisis of extinction is imminent, and only the Demon King may possess the means to ensure the continuation of the elven race. Therefore, this is a condition that the elven race must obtain.

They'll agree to anything else.
