"Well, this question..." Saitama's eyes rolled in his sockets. Perhaps because of the consumption of brain power, he began to feel that the taste on his tongue was a little dry and light. This suddenly gave him an inspiration. "Let's go eat something delicious? For example, go to that little girl Alice's place!"
"I see. Since the teacher said that, there must be a deeper meaning behind it!" Genos took up his pen and wrote it down in his notebook.
59. Astrology
Astrology, a folk group that worships Lord Tianyuan.
Lord Tengen was active thousands of years ago. Although he rarely leaves the Hongxing Palace, he has become a symbolic existence for sorcerers. Some people even suspect that Lord Tengen is dead, or even that "Lord Tengen" himself is an idol created by the upper echelons of the sorcery world.
But in fact, all the real big names in the world of sorcery knew that Tengen-sama existed. And in the more distant past, although they were not sorcerers, people who had witnessed Tengen-sama's omnipotent sorcery worshiped Tengen-sama, and even hundreds of years later, they still passed on this belief to their descendants - this was the prototype of the Astrolabe Cult.
Of course, no matter what kind of organization it is, once it expands in size, there will definitely be bad elements.
The situation of the Xingpan Sect is even more thorough. The leaders of the Xingpan Sect may still have respect and fear for Master Tianyuan, but they mostly just regard the Xingpan Sect as a reasonable and stable way to harvest money and social influence.
In today's era of rapid scientific development and respect for money over gods and ghosts, in order to better develop religion, expand influence and "purify" the atmosphere within the religion, so as to better establish leadership power, the founder of the Astrological Cult and other cadres planned such an incident, which was apparently driven by faith and was essentially a shoe glue attack on a girl kidnapped and persecuted in the name of religion.
Being pointed at and scolded like this, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru will not remain silent.
After placing Tennen no Riko next to Poetry, they immediately set about eradicating the Astrology Cult.
Relying on the intelligence network of the High Commissioner, almost all the high-ranking members of the Astronomical Cult were captured, those who resisted stubbornly were killed, and the hired curse masters were either caught or died with their employers. For a moment, it seemed that justice had been served and fairness had been upheld.
However, the bigger trouble happened after all these things were over.
When Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru arrived at the headquarters of the Star Disk Sect, when they saw those ordinary people who had almost no cursed power gathered together in uniform, after seeing them and hearing them announce that all the top leaders of the Star Disk Sect had been executed and the Star Disk Sect was disbanded, they were not greeted with cheers and applause, but insults and malice.
Some impulsive members of the Astrolabe Cult rushed towards them with their teeth bared, waving their fists at them and wanting to resort to violence. They mercilessly knocked a few of these guys to the ground, and the rest of the people also knew that they could not be defeated by force.
So...endless abuse and condemnation began.
……
They cursed the two who hurt the founder and the cadres to die a miserable death! They condemned the two for being sorcerers but not acting for the true justice of the sorcery world!
They cursed Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, the two villains who obstructed the great action of the Star Disk Cult, to go to hell after their death. They also cursed the Star Plasma who was ignorant of the world and why they didn't just die obediently!
——They clearly looked like human beings, but at that moment, the two sorcerers who surrounded the others and accused the righteous man looked more terrifying than the devil!
This is really not what a sorcerer who is determined to protect humanity from the threat of cursed spirits should encounter - the people who protect the people are betrayed by the people they protect.
Faced with this scene, not only Geto Suguru, but many people in countless dimensional worlds felt angry about it.
Sword Art Online——
"Kirito-kun, after seeing this scene, don't you have any feelings?"
The cabin on the 22nd floor of Aincrad is Kirito and Asuna's home in this death game.
Young men and women are in the same room, which is naturally because the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
For this reason, when Asuna saw the two sorcerers on the screen who had saved people but were treated so maliciously, she naturally recalled the scene a few months ago in the boss room on the first floor of Aincrad, where she tried her best to defeat the boss but was later contemptuously called "cheaters".
“Sorry, sorry~”
Even though he was a year younger than Asuna, Kirito knew that analysis and defense were pointless at a time like this.
Those who care about him only care whether he has learned from past lessons and whether he will suffer in the future. Analyzing your own state of mind when you are in this mood, your behavior is not only asking for trouble, but also stupid.
"However, my experience is nothing compared to that Geto-senpai."
"Indeed~"
Asuna had to admit this, and the topic was smoothly changed.
One Punch Man——
“Come to think of it, it was a similar situation back then~”
At this moment, Saitama remembered that when he smashed the huge meteorite that caused the crisis of destruction of City Z with one punch, some people came to denounce his "evil deeds" because of the secondary disasters caused by the broken meteorite in the city.
"Those guys." Genos obviously knew what Saitama was talking about. He looked down on those villains who claimed to be heroes but were actually gossiping, and who took advantage of the villains' instigation and pushed the negative emotions of the destroyed city and property losses onto the people who saved their teacher. Genos also looked down on them.
Saitama and Genos, one is a hero who does it out of interest, and the other is a hero who does not aim to be a hero but actually does heroic things. They both have their own opinions and understandings about the people they protect who do not understand their actions.
Because they are all adults who have experienced a lot, their thoughts appear more mature, but this is not the case with Geto Suguru.
He is still just a child. His past education and values came from the unilateral indoctrination of his family and college, which made his beliefs noble but inflexible.
Once he encounters such a thing, it is easy for him, who is still a child but possesses great power, to lose his mind. This makes the two people across the light curtain very worried that Geto Suguru will not be able to survive this level.
EVA——
"..."
Shinji Ikari stared at the light screen intently, hoping that he would be inspired by people and things from another world far away!
He now doesn't know what he should do right or wrong.
Not long ago, he drove the giant humanoid weapon EVA developed by his father to defeat the apostles and save the city.
The staff at the NERV base praised him for doing the right thing, but when he returned to school he was beaten up by his classmate Suzuhara Touji - because he had injured the Angel's sister during the battle with him.
The right things, the wrong things…things that were forced upon me, the harsh words from my father.
He is only 14 years old this year. He has been living an ordinary and ordinary life in his hometown in the countryside in the past. Suddenly, he was called to the third New Tokyo City to drive exaggerated robots and fight monsters.
As for the evaluation of this matter, some people say he did the right thing, some people say he did the wrong thing, some people think he should do it, and some people think it would be better for him to do nothing...
The words of a bunch of people filled his head and tormented his consciousness. Although his situation was different, the voice of Geto Suguru in the light curtain seemed to have similarities with his current troubles.
Therefore, there was a hint of anticipation in Shinji Ikari's eyes as he looked at the light screen.
Xia Youjie was indeed shocked by the reaction of the Xingpan Cult members - these were the people he protected...
Something seems to be wrong...
【Jay.】
【how.】
[Should we take action and let them suffer a little? ]
【…】
This guy Wu is serious.
If Geto Suguru nodded here, Gojo Satoru would never mind breaking one or two arms of all the Star Plate Sect members present.
The sound of them falling to the ground and wailing might have brought pleasure to his confused mind. He was indeed a sorcerer who protected the people, but he was also a human being.
If you are a human being, you will inevitably feel angry at these ignorant guys.
Xia Yujie also knew that making these guys suffer a little might be the best way to make them correct their mistakes.
But...he is a good man.
【Stop it, Satoru.】
If you are a good person, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong.
[It's useless to attack these guys with mental problems. They won't realize what they did wrong. Beating them is just a way to vent emotions - there is no point...]
[Is that so~]
Gojo Satoru closed his eyes.
[You actually said that - let's go. ]
【…Um.】
Geto Suguru dissuaded his friend from doing the wrong thing, but he turned his back on the malice of the people they were protecting. However, he felt that something important was being taken away from his heart as the voice gradually faded away.
60. Fork
On the way back, we went to Alice's shop for dinner. The molecular gourmet food always brings Geto Suguru a lot of good mood, but this time the magic of happiness dissipated especially quickly.
He returned to the dormitory, took off his clothes, took a shower and lay down on the bed.
At this moment, his face touched the texture of the high-quality fabric of the quilt, which made him rub his face. Thinking that this fabric was also made by ordinary people, not only the quilt, but everything in his room, except the spell tools hanging on the shelf, were designed and made by ordinary people.
Realizing this gave him a sense of comfort.
He fell asleep with this comfort, but woke up early the next morning to find that it was just self-deception.
Because of the Astrological Cult, he began to re-examine what kind of society sorcerers and ordinary people should build.
And his answers tended more and more toward a direction that made him feel guilty—which made him even more exhausted.
Shaman King
"He is a qualified person. However, he still lacks strength."
Asakura Ye Wang has seen through Geto Suguru.
If he allowed Xia Youjie to continue to have such wild thoughts, he was sure that Xia Youjie would eventually choose a path that would surprise the people around him and would also be more to his liking.
In his world, King Ye, who was born as the most powerful Onmyoji a thousand years ago, felt deeply about the ignorance of the world, so he wanted to use the power of the five great elves to eliminate all ordinary people and establish a country where only psychics exist.
As a result, his ideals were not understood by the people around him.
1000 years ago, 500 years ago, King Ye's ambitions were crushed time and time again. Even though he was invincible, he could not withstand the punitive forces formed by the whole world.
And this time, having obtained one of the five great elves, he is almost closest to his ideal.
"Keep worrying, young man. Reality will force you to choose the only truth that makes you happy."
Xia Yujie's face became visibly haggard.
He was deeply trapped in the pressure of the collision of the past and the present. Driven by that damn idea, he even took the initiative to go to the research institute in the academy to investigate something, but the result made him even more painful.
In conclusion, a sorcerer will not leak his cursed power.
Except for rare cases brought about by heaven and curse, everyone in this world is born with cursed power.
The power of curse comes from people's negative emotions, and as long as people are alive, they will inevitably encounter things that make them unhappy in all aspects of life.
Not everyone is enlightened.
The awakened ones can realize great wisdom and great supernatural powers, are not stained by dust, and are not affected by cause and effect. However, humans have seven emotions and six desires, will experience seven sufferings, and fall into seven sins.
Therefore, humans will inevitably generate cursed power, and the large accumulation of cursed power will inevitably breed cursed spirits.
This is an almost irreversible process - in the past, Geto Suguru took it for granted that this was the case, but in his private research at the technical high school, he discovered that although sorcerers possess much more cursed power than ordinary people, and they can use their consciousness of cursed power to fight, their cursed power will not give rise to cursed spirits.
After a long period of research, the researchers discovered the reason why the sorcerer's cursed power would not breed cursed spirits: because ordinary people cannot perceive their own cursed power and have no way to control it.
This allows the cursed energy to take root and ferment in ordinary people. To use a metaphor, the cursed energy in ordinary people is like a pool of stagnant water.
Even if it looks fine, even animals won't drink stagnant water that has not flowed for a long time.
Parasites, toxic gases, bacteria, etc. can cause people who carelessly drink stagnant water in the wild to lose their lives.
In comparison, because a sorcerer frequently uses cursed power, the cursed power flows rapidly in his body, just like a pool of living water with the ability to purify the "water quality".
[So, the cursed power of a sorcerer cannot give rise to cursed spirits... The only thing that can give rise to cursed spirits is the cursed power of ordinary people—]
Seeing this, Geto Suguru suddenly had a terrible idea. [If that's the case, then it would be great if everyone in the world were sorcerers~]
Yes! If the world were full of sorcerers, then cursed spirits would not be born from humans. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?
But what should ordinary people do?
ordinary people...
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: Perhaps, the opportunity to change the future of the world is now firmly in the hands of the young man Geto.
Ye Wang: Haha. I have seen through the boy's future. The result will probably be different from what you imagined. Just watch quietly.
Ikari Gendō: Even if the threat of cursed spirits is eliminated, humans will still fight each other for various reasons. This is because humans are inherently flawed and born with original sin, so humans cannot understand each other.
Gendo Ikari: Only by opening the walls of people's hearts and bringing everyone's hearts together can we understand and love each other and ultimately achieve true peace.
Santa Martha: Huh?
Charles D. Britannia: That's right! People are born unequal - poverty, talent, beauty, disease... things that are determined at birth, how can you easily catch up with your natural disadvantages by hard work alone? ! How can you accept this natural gap by faith alone? !
Charles D. Britannia: Therefore, be honest! People should not lie to themselves! Nor should they lie to others! In this way, people will accept their own weaknesses and face up to the real gaps! The world will be peaceful and beautiful because of this!
The Immortal of Six Paths: When we hear the truth, we all regard you as our soulmate. However, when the thought of discussing the Dao arises, there is always a sense of uneasiness in my heart that prevents me from speaking nonsense - why is that?
Pluto: Living in harmony is just a self-deceptive idea of the weak. The strong rule the weak, this is the law of the universe.
Sakya: Learn from collisions, grow from pain - humanity will eventually reach a future that we cannot see. Before that, we just need to quietly watch the civilization created by humans. Good and evil, sincerity and hypocrisy, rejection and acceptance are all human nature. Peace that can only be created by depriving one party is nothing but a false Bodhi flower.
