Chapter 1074: Past and Future
"How's it going, how do you feel after visiting my home planet?"
Zhang Cheng, who was sitting in the room on the top floor of the tower, asked with great interest while looking at Gru, who had just crossed a long distance.
He could feel that the master of the Chaos Faction was in a very strange state, as if he was contemplating, as if he had comprehended something.
Obviously, this trip to Earth is quite valuable in the eyes of the other party.
Gru waved his insect-like upper limbs, visibly hesitated for a moment, before responding in a tone of uncertainty that was not very uncertain: "It's hard to describe in words! You and the planet you were born on are a highly complex and contradictory place, completely different from the home planet I was born on. Because in our understanding, the collective is a society in which absolute hierarchy and order must be established from the top down, and each tiny individual must be subordinated to the will of the supreme ruler, who in turn has the obligation to ensure the continuation and development of the ethnic group. ”
"Oh, so you and your race are a species with a high degree of dominance and obedience?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right!" Gru tapped his oval head as he mimicked the human form. "I'm sure you must think it's strange why a group like me, who lives in a high degree of order and unity, leans more towards chaos, right?"
"It's a little weird, but that's not what I'm most curious about. On the contrary, what intrigues me the most is how you can break free from the influence of the environment and traditional ideas and forge a path of your own. An interested expression gradually appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.
There's no way not to be interested!
It's like in the world of ants or bees, and suddenly there is a worker bee or worker ant who is not willing to do the heavy lifting day and night, and chooses to risk his life to leave the colony and pursue his own evolutionary path.
In fact, due to genetic inheritance, it is impossible for either worker bees or worker ants to disobey the orders given by the queen ant and queen bee.
This also means that the ugly and funny-looking master in front of him is actually a mutant.
Gru undoubtedly sensed Zhang Cheng's thoughts at this moment, and quickly took the initiative to explain: "At first, like most people in the group, I lived like I had no soul, I only knew how to constantly complete the tasks assigned from above, and I didn't know how to think, and I didn't know what freedom and resistance were. But one day, my brain seemed to gradually become smarter, and I began to notice that I was different, and I began to learn to think about what is fairness, what is interest, and what is right. Why do some guys rise above us from the moment we are born, treating us as slaves and servants? ”
"So...... Are you awake?" Zhang Cheng smiled playfully with the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"Awakening? No, I don't think it's a word to be used, but rather to be reborn. Yes, from that day on, I buried my past self and lived with a whole new identity. In order to avoid the other people of my kind noticing my difference, I carefully hid and secretly observed the operation of the entire race, and eventually found that it was actually very fragile, so fragile that simply destroying the queen in charge of childbirth could make the race doomed. ”
When he said this, Gru's tone was particularly strange, as if he was laughing at something, and as if he was laughing at himself.
Feeling the strange aura in the air, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "Alas...... Needless to say, I think I should know what you did. Burying the people who gave birth and raised them with their own hands is the only way to cut off the past and move towards the future. Just as I gave up my humanity and part of myself, you also paid a huge price for it. ”
"From that moment on, I vowed to destroy order and spread the fire of chaos in every corner of the universe. How, do you want to ally with me, in a way, we have a lot in common in ideas and ideas, and we are the most ideal natural allies. Gru made a meaningful invitation.
But unfortunately, Zhang Cheng refused without thinking: "I'm sorry, forget about the alliance." You wouldn't believe it, but those who have aligned with me don't usually end well, at least so far, all of my allies have either disappeared or turned against each other. What's more, don't you think that forming an alliance is the act of the weak, and only a person who is in the weak stage needs the help of an ally?"
Speaking of allies, he really has a lot of emotion.
After all, from the beginning to the present, there are not dozens of objects of his alliance, but the interesting thing is that none of them can hold on to the end, either because of conflicts of interest and turn their faces halfway, or from the very beginning, they have each other's ghosts, calculating each other, and hating to pull each other down alive.
Therefore, the alliance is essentially a weak side that forcibly pulls together some rabble in order to increase the probability of victory, and it does not play a decisive role at all.
"Weakling? Hahahaha! I have to admit that as a newcomer who has not yet fully mastered the true power of domination, your arrogance is truly eye-opening. I'm curious now, if in the future, if you have completely mastered your own power, will you declare war on the other masters? You must know that the whole universe has been silent for too long, and maybe it is time to start a new round of war. Gru laughed and spread his insect-like arthropods, laughing uncontrollably.
As he said, if the balance lasts too long, it will make these masters with endless lifespans feel bored and lonely.
But now, that weak balance has finally been broken, and chaos and order have each been supplemented by an additional place, and there is already an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, and maybe a three-way war will break out at any time to determine the final direction of the universe.
In particular, the centrists, who strive to maintain the balance of power, will be the first to be suppressed by the joint force.
"Don't worry! With my current strength, it's too early to talk about this. Let's finish the game first, what do you think?" said Zhang Cheng as he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly to activate the huge magic mirror hanging on the wall.
Moment!
The terrifying and eerie images of the island kingdom appeared out of thin air.
Unlike the last time I saw it, this time almost the entire inhabitants of the island are parasitized by metal bugs, who look lifeless on the surface, and are busy preparing for the impending war every day.
No talking!
No entertainment!
Some are just extremely regular schedules and work!
Admiring the mechanical behavior of the people in the mirror, Gru couldn't help but smile and praise, "My children are doing a good job, and they will be able to enter the expansion stage in a while." ”
