Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Wait, is there water on my body? Is it urine?

Oh, it was sweat.

Charlie the gorilla stared blankly, drenched in sweat, muttering, "Who are you?"

"My name is Iida Izuru." The samurai calmly introduced himself when facing the non-human being. "You may also call me Nishikida Kojuro Keiryu."

These two names are essentially the same; they are simply the last names that cannibals hear before they die.

Jingtian Jinglong scrutinized the inhuman creature before him, whose entire body was stiff with tension. His gaze was sharp as he calmly asked, "Do you have thoughts of eating people?"

“…No,” Charlie the gorilla paused for a moment, “I’ve never thought about such a thing, and I would never do it in my entire life.”

If the answer is yes, you will die immediately; if the answer is no, but it is a lie, you will die immediately.

Charlie the gorilla understood this through his body's instincts.

Fortunately, that was indeed what he thought.

"Do you think humans are special?" After a brief silence, Charlie the gorilla vaguely sensed the reason for the strongest warrior's appearance. "Just because I said that?"

“That’s not just ‘just’. You’ve committed my greatest taboo. If I hadn’t seen something far more excellent and beautiful than most people, you would already be torn to pieces for that one sentence alone.”

Jing Tianjinglong sat upright cross-legged, his hands resting solemnly on his thighs, speaking calmly.

This is not intimidation, but simply stating a fact.

He had seen good monsters like Master Ayan before, so he knew very well that there were many good people among non-human beings who could coexist with humans.

Now, what he needs to do is to carefully examine whether this new gorilla has the right to survive.

"What are you saying!" Lucy, the liberal female student, was too weak to notice the tense atmosphere. She still wanted to shout and come up to stand up for Charlie and drive away everyone who was on the opposite side of the liberals.

Clang—

Lucy, a liberal female student, shouted and tried to pull him forward, but she had only taken half a step when everyone present seemed to suddenly hear the crisp sound of a silver sword being drawn and sheathed.

However, Ida Iryu did not make any move.

The only one who made a move was Lucy, a liberal female student. Her bangs and long hair were instantly shredded, and with a gust of wind, they all fell off, leaving only a shiny bald head.

Jing Tianjinglong didn't say anything. In his life of fighting cannibals, he had encountered many troublemakers who sided with the monsters. He was used to it and had developed his own set of standards and procedures for dealing with them.

He didn't say anything.

But Lucy, the liberal female student, trembled and swallowed hard... The samurai said nothing, but she clearly understood that if she tried to get any closer after that...

Next time, it won't just be her hair that gets shredded!

No one dared to move.

This samurai was so strange, so inexplicable, yet no one dared to move, leave, shout, or call the police.

For now is the moment for that warrior to confront the inhuman being!

"...I have no intention of eating people, I don't want to kill people, and I have never killed anyone."

After witnessing Lucy's fate, Charlie the gorilla subconsciously layered his armor before speaking again. Though he didn't realize it, it was a clear sign of compromise and surrender. Only then did he say:

"But what makes humans so special? Humans are afraid of death and feel pain, just like other animals. They are all the same kind of animals. Humans also eat the flesh of other animals, so why can't humans be killed and eaten? Are you suggesting that humans have some special quality that makes them exempt?"

Charlie the gorilla genuinely harbors no ill will towards humans, but similarly, he doesn't feel any special affinity for them either, treating them the same as other animals.

Treating everyone the same is a sin.

Jing Tianjinglong said calmly, "The reason for the exemption? Perhaps what you want to hear is that humans possess higher intelligence that other animals do not have, and have a complete self and soul, which is fundamentally different from other animals. Not only humans, but all creatures with higher intelligence, a complete self and soul should not be food."

"!"

As soon as Jing Tianjinglong finished speaking, Charlie the gorilla's eyes lit up. Although the passage was simple, it clearly explained why humans cannot be eaten, and the logic was sound, while also protecting other creatures that could be treated as equals to humans.

This is exactly the answer to his confusion and bewilderment!

His adoptive mother was a lawyer, and his adoptive father was a scientist, neither of whom could articulate this principle, yet he had found it here. Well, if this principle holds true, then he could barely accept it.

"—However, although this may be the reason you want to hear, it is not what I want to say."

Jing Tianjinglong then changed the subject.

The principles he mentioned above are rules promoted by the Land of Light. They are universally applicable principles and truths throughout the entire universe, and even in the infinite multiverse. Of course, they are absolutely correct, and it is only natural that they could enlighten the non-human beings in front of him.

However, he was not prepared to use the principles of the Land of Light to persuade the other party.

Before encountering the Land of Light, he already had his own ideas. If the inhuman creatures in front of him could not be persuaded by his reasoning, then he would sit at the same table with the other cannibals!

Charlie the gorilla was stunned: "What are you trying to say?"

"good."

Jingtian Jinglong nodded, solemnly looking at the non-human thing before him. What he was about to say was a statement devoid of the grandeur of the Land of Light, a selfish statement that only thought of humanity itself.

These selfish words, which only think of oneself, are also full of self-righteousness in the mouth of Ida Iryu, and are extremely powerful!

"Why can't humans kill and eat them? It's simple."

"Because I am human, because humans are human, because all people are human, because humans are naturally inclined to protect themselves, because human morality holds that eating humans is wrong, because humans are such a race."

"This is who we are, this is humanity. If you try to hinder humanity from protecting itself, if you try to prevent humanity from being eaten, then you are an enemy of humanity, and you must be eliminated. That's all!"

Some might argue that because humans are at the top of the food chain, they shouldn't be eaten, and therefore eating humans is wrong.

But those are extremely evil thoughts and statements.

Because that's pure survival of the fittest. This idea of ​​pure survival of the fittest itself encourages the subtext that "if humans fail to climb to the top of the food chain, then it's unreasonable for humans to be eaten, and therefore humans are in the wrong."

Not to mention the Land of Light, even Ida Iryu himself couldn't agree with it in the slightest.

In the ancient times in which Jing Tianjinglong lived, humans were not at the top of the food chain, and all kinds of demons and monsters were far more powerful than humans at that time.

Even with warriors like him protecting humanity, he could only defeat any single demon or monster. If all the demons and monsters had swarmed him, he would have inevitably been defeated and killed.

He lacks the ability to protect all of humanity; in his absence, there will always be people being devoured by demons and monsters.

Overall, humans at that time were clearly not at the top of the food chain.

As for the pinnacle of individual power, what qualifications does Jing Tianjinglong have to challenge Gatanothor beneath the Pacific Ocean? Even if Gatanothor is expelled while still dormant, the Golden Dragon Goldras had already existed for an unknown amount of time, but at the time he was too lazy to establish a spacetime dimension on Earth.

As for that transdimensional dragon that could overwhelm Ultraman Tiga even when it had no fighting spirit, Ida Ryu was naturally completely powerless.

Putting aside his existence on Earth in the Tiga timeline, there were also evil figures in the Showa timeline who could defeat Ida Iyuu.

Leaving aside the local monsters and demons on Earth, there are so many great monsters and powerful aliens in the universe, and Jing Tianjinglong is just one of them.

Therefore, if we adopt the argument that "humans cannot be eaten because they are at the top of the food chain," then in this dog-eat-dog world, once humans are no longer at the top of the food chain, does that mean the stronger one can do whatever they want?

For example, if Ultraman doesn't appear, should humanity just surrender and let Goldras or Gatanothor slaughter them?

Or should humanity relinquish its homeland and voluntarily submit when the Dark Nebula takes notice of Earth?

This is certainly wrong. In the face of these situations, even if humans are weaker, they are still the ones who have the right and the justice.

The idea that whoever is stronger is right is pure survival of the fittest and is very evil.

The principles of Jing Tianjinglong will never be the kind of dog-eat-dog rhetoric, but rather a simple view of self.

Because we are human, we believe that humans cannot be eaten, especially since humans are a species with such moral values.

Whether it's cannibalism or inhuman beings eating people, no matter what happens, Jing Tianjinglong will never tolerate, forgive, or let it go!

"—"

Charlie the gorilla stared blankly at the grim-faced warrior before him.

After explaining the ideas he had come to understand and agree with, it seemed as if countless ghostly souls were wailing behind Iida Iryu. Those howls were instantly shattered by thousands of slashes and scattered with the wind, leaving not even a trace behind.

The name of the strongest warrior is engraved here. Now that he has heard this explanation, Charlie the gorilla should give his answer!

Charlie the gorilla stood there, mouth agape, his mind reeling from the deafening revelation, still unable to find peace.

If it were based on the principles of the Land of Light, he would have given in by now, but Iida Iryu's ideas still made him want to say something: "Are you saying that we must stand on the side of humanity no matter what?"

"That's not entirely true, but I think that situations where people don't stand on the side of humanity are probably none of your business."

Iida Ryu is certainly not a person who affirms all of humanity.

This can be seen from the fact that when the sword he possessed during the Ultraman Tiga era was stolen, causing Sukuna to revive, he chose to ignore the thief's personal wishes and forcibly possess and control the other's body, and also attacked other thieves.

Although he said at the time, "Don't worry, I only used the back of the knife," that was just to say that no one was killed. Whether the attacked thief would be permanently disabled or something else was another matter entirely.

If a villain were to attack someone as inhuman as Master Ayan, and if Iida Ryu knew the cause and effect, he would naturally stand on Master Ayan's side.

If any unscrupulous human betrays Ultraman who protects the Earth, and if that Ultraman wants to take revenge on the unscrupulous human, then Ida Ryu would certainly never stand up for humanity.

However, all of these circumstances clearly have nothing to do with the non-human creature in front of them.

Charlie the gorilla was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't eat people, nor did I think that way. I'm not human either. Even so, can I say something like, 'Humans are the same as other animals, and it doesn't matter to me'?"

"good."

Jing Tianjinglong solemnly pronounced his judgment. He examined the non-human creature before him and said sharply, "You are indeed not human, but you live in the human world. You were delivered by humans, and you have lived in human society since you were a child. Human resources have provided for your growth."

“You grew up in a human cultural environment, you wear clothes made by humans, you attend schools made by humans for their own use, your adoptive parents are humans, and humans are raising you.”

"You are not human. According to what I overheard two government officials chatting outside the school, legally, since there is no record of the species 'orangutan,' you are considered the private property of your adoptive parents. Legally, you are considered an object, not a living being. Therefore, you have no human rights and are not considered human."

"However, the lack of human rights in the law does not prevent you from enjoying human resources, human possessions, and human affection from birth to the present. The definition of law is ultimately just a legal definition. In real life, you enjoy everything that humans have, so you should think and act from the perspective of humans."

“If you cannot do this, then even if you have no intention of killing or eating humans, I will absolutely not allow you to walk in the human world in such a manner!”

If the thoughts of these inhuman beings are not corrected, they must at least be expelled from the human world and sent back to nature to wander until they die of old age, never to set foot in human society again!

Volume 1: 524. This world needs a good cleansing!

524. This world needs a good cleansing!

If a non-human being has no intention of harming or eating people, and simply talks about treating humans the same as other species, that's fine, since verbal abuse isn't illegal.

However, there is a premise to this.

That is, this non-human thing has nothing to do with humans.

If you don't harm or eat people, and you don't associate with humans, live on human territory, enter human society, use human-made items, or enjoy human rights, and are completely unrelated to humans, then you can talk whatever you want.

But clearly, Charlie the gorilla is not only related to humans, but his connection to them is far more extensive.

This non-human being has been accepted by humans since the day he was born. Although he was not granted human rights, he was never harmed. He was allowed to live a healthy life without having to work until now.
