Chapter 613: The Flower of Blood and Bone: The Justice of the White Insect Secret Order.
Xia Xiu's golden eyes looked at Mike Sabo holding the Head of Osiris in front of him with some surprise.
It was indeed beyond his expectation that the other party was not dead.
The blond young man's eyes were like sharp knives, penetrating the air and falling straight on Mike.
Those golden eyes shone with calmness and curiosity, with a trace of unquestionable scrutiny, as if they were studying an unexpected bug in detail.
Mike felt Xia Xiu's gaze, and his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. His whole body trembled slightly, and his arms held the [Skull of Osiris] tightly tightly.
This is his only life-saving straw.
"The attack does hit the opponent, and the reality of the impact feedback is not illusory."
Xia Xiu, on the other hand, held his cane and carefully recalled that he was in the ether to avoid being unhappy. Dive into memories as a snack.
He was sure that when he was playing "hide and seek" with Bu Gao in the [Ether Ocean], he took the time to use the traceable red blood manipulation technique to launch an "instant death strike" on Mike and hit the opponent.
In the form of a human apostle who unfolds the [Crown] himself, it is impossible for the opponent to survive this blow from him.
Furthermore, through the feedback from the Sarkic Lineage’s blow, he did sense the death of the other party.
The texture of the blow is real, which means that the possibility of illusion, substitution, attack transfer, etc. is basically ruled out.
Many thoughts flashed through the mind of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven in just a moment, and soon, he found the key to the problem.
Xia Xiu's eyes turned to the [Skull of Osiris] in Mike Sabo's arms, and his golden eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the thing in the opponent's hand that did not have extraordinary fluctuations.
"The problem lies in the skull in your hand."
"A containment object with unknown effects."
Buzz——
He began to move towards the pit step by step When he walked towards the void and entered the pit more than ten meters deep, a "∞"-shaped Möbius strip suddenly appeared under his feet.
This Möbius strip exudes a soft and mysterious light, as if emerging from the void, slowly dragging Xia Xiu's soles, allowing him to fly through the void.
Mike Sabo gritted his teeth when he saw the blond young man approaching gradually. He knew that there was no chance of escape.
The only choice is to fight! ! !
The only thing he can do now is to use his [Skull of Osiris], which is a holy relic of Ion, to fight against the opponent.
On this land, there are a large number of abnormal objects, individuals and dangerous phenomena.
Some of these things are just thaumaturgic products constructed by thaumaturgy, some are phenomena that have been explained and treated harmlessly, and some are holy relics composed of crown elements and mythological factors.
But more are products that cannot be destroyed and cannot be explained.
They are full of mysterious terrorism, terror and uneasiness, unknown and incredible.
Among these products, small ones may only affect a village or a city, while large ones can affect the life and death of a country or even an entire continent.
The most dangerous group can even affect Terra and even the universe in which Terra is located. They can sometimes even affect the gods.
The origin of these products is unexplainable, and they have a forced priority mechanism that allows them to respond to the ether and distort reality faster than the [Crown One].
Some products are even comparable to [miracles], or they themselves are [miracles].
Mike stared at the blond young man in front of him, telling himself not to be afraid.
The opponent is just a person with terrifyingly strong numerical values, and he holds the [Skull of Osiris] and is already bound to it.
Now he can only use this forcing mechanism to fight against numerical monsters on the opposite side.
In Terra, as long as the mechanism is used well, heroes can kill gods.
And these things are not unique in Terra, there are more or less such examples in every era.
In modern times, the most famous deed of mechanically killing numerical monsters is the regicide from the Kingdom of Heaven, the fourth sword holder, and the Crimson Triple Crown.
Looking at the blond young man approaching gradually, the tomb robber felt that he should do something.
“Huh——”
Mike Sabo took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions, although his heart was still full of tension and fear.
Before [Resurrection of the Dead], he sensed the aura of [Red Blood Manipulation], so he was almost certain that the other party was a Sarkic cultist.
Although he is not sure whether the other party is from the new Sarkic cult or the old Sarkic cult, Mike feels that he can try to negotiate with the other party first. After all, they are both Sarkic cultists and always have the same topics and interests. .
As long as you are not a barbarian from the kingdom of heaven, you can talk.
Even if the other party disagrees, he will massacre his godson and demolish his own human bone factory.
He also thought we could talk.
He doesn't have to worry about the other person's reasons for doing that, because it doesn't matter.
For Sarkic cultists, or for those involved in the human body trade line.
“This is all just a business.”
We are all Sarkites and good brothers. Is there anything we can’t sit down and talk about?
“Wait a minute,” Mike said, his voice slightly hoarse but firm.
"I know who you are, or where your identity comes from. We are both members of the Sarkic Cult, and you and I are not necessarily enemies."
The blond young man stopped slightly. , tilting his head, his golden pupils still stared at Mike calmly, but there was no change in his expression, nor did he speak in response.
There is drama!
The tomb robber was ecstatic when he saw this.
“Listen to me, we all follow the same teachings and worship the same great sorcerer Ion. His teachings let us understand that the combination of strength and body is the path to truth. Between you and me We can find common interests instead of being hostile to each other.”
Mike paused for a moment to observe Xia Xiu's reaction, but Xia Xiu remained silent and listened expressionlessly.
"If we cooperate and share the resources and information of the human trade line, we can control more power together and even establish our rule in every corner of Terra."
"Desire Flesh brothers, that is, we shouldn't be like this. We have the same doctrine and the same goal, and there is no reason to kill each other."
Xia Xiu's eyes still did not change, he just stood there quietly, listening. He listened to Mike's words as if waiting for something.
“We can share interests,” Mike continued. “The human body trade line resources I control can provide you with a steady stream of raw materials and wealth. We can develop new thaumaturgy together and enhance our strength. .”
"You have to understand that fighting alone will only weaken our strength. Only by joining forces can we truly realize Ion's great cause."
"We will create a border that stands between Terra and the universe. . ”
“We can govern this place on the edge of the world and build a paradise according to the Great Warlock’s [Path of Peeling] and [Three Cardinal Ethics]!” Xiu stopped, and finally there was a hint of interest in his golden pupils.
"Border? Paradise?"
Seeing that the blond young man became interested, he stopped.
Mike Sabo's tense nerves also relaxed slightly, but his hand still held the [Skull of Osiris] tightly in his hand. "Yes, the border."
He said to Xia Xiu very seriously:
"No matter you...for what purpose you attacked me Industry, I advise you to stop as soon as possible, even if you are an individual powerful person, what you have touched is only the tip of the iceberg of this line.”
"All of this will be the embodiment of Ion's will, and he will turn into the sun of the new world, shining on the borderland."
Mike's eyes became fiery, as if conveying the fervent belief in his heart :
“At the border that is about to be born, the great warlock who incarnates as the Green Sun will lead the believers to recast the inner temple and rebuild the empire.
The new Sarkic Empire will be based on the [Split] Tao], abandon the old morals, old thoughts, and old concepts, and practice the way of liberating mankind."
The [Skull of Osiris] in his hand shimmered slightly, reflecting on his face, making him look even brighter. Fanaticism:
"This includes opening up the market for human bodies!"
"At the border, everyone should have full autonomy over their own bodies, including the right to sell their organs. If people voluntarily choose to sell their organs to improve their quality of life , this is their basic right.”
“If you think about it, the organ trading market can provide financial support to sellers and help them escape poverty. What this may mean for some families is to sell an organ. Huge improvement in the economy.”
“So, why don’t we just open up the human body market?”
“If a rational subject decides to sell his organs, it is also an exercise of reason and freedom. In part - the moral value of an action is whether its consequences maximize happiness or minimize suffering. ”
The tomb robber paused, his eyes flashed with a crazy light, and his voice became more determined:
“Moreover, opening the human market can alleviate the problem of organ shortage. Many people have died waiting for organ transplantation, allowing legal organs Buying and selling can increase the supply of organs and save more lives.”
Mike’s expression was full of enthusiasm and arrogance, as if he had already seen the future.
When he said these words, he meant it sincerely and did not think it was wrong.
What’s wrong with letting market forces run free?
The opening of the human body market itself can be seen as reducing the interference of power and morality in private affairs, allowing individuals to have more economic choices.
Everyone should have full autonomy over their own body, including the right to choose to sell their organs or body parts.
The opening of the human body market can spontaneously solve the problem of organ shortage through the market mechanism. It can also solve the current development dilemma of sarkic and help the people of the new sarkic empire to complete - lead the flesh and blood.
After Xia Xiu finished listening, his original interest completely dissipated, and he remained silent again.
There was no fluctuation in those golden pupils.
There was no expression change on his face, as if Mike's words were just a breeze and did not cause any ripples in his heart.
"And," Mike added suddenly, lowly, with a hint of warning in his tone.
“Arch Warlock Ion’s presence is a force we cannot ignore.”
“You and I both know that going against his will will only lead to disaster. Instead of fighting each other, why not join forces? , work together to complete his grand plan?"
"What I just said is only part of the border, about the construction of the border, about the new Sarkic Empire, there are many more rich futures. Waiting for us.”
After Mike finished speaking, he looked at the blond young man expectantly, hoping that the other party would respond accordingly.
For Mike Szapo, he has a set of logic that he considers reasonable - the organ donation systems in many countries cannot meet the demand, resulting in many people dying while waiting for organ transplants.
Opening the market can increase the supply of organs and "save" more lives.
What is full of irony and contradiction is that Mike Sapo himself is the biggest promoter of this black market transaction.
He always thinks: "Those sanctimonious governments and institutions always talk about morality and law, but their so-called system cannot save those who are waiting to die."
Opening up the market is the real solution.
He knew the scenes of black market transactions, which were cruel and bloody.
But he had no mercy.
Is the existence of black market transactions leading to exploitation and unfairness?
What a big joke! ! !
There is a lot of exploitation and injustice in the world.
Ion also said, "Exploitation is the norm, resistance is the destiny."
I am just using the norm, and those who do not resist have forgotten their destiny. .
These poor guys just haven't found a more efficient way to protect their own interests.
In this case, it was not him who made the mistake, but those who would not resist.
Moreover, he does not disagree with the destruction of black market trade.
As long as the human body market is opened, wouldn’t the black market trade be destroyed?
『Strength created the first generation of slaves, and the cowardice of the slaves made them slaves for life! 』
This is the contemporary motto and teachings of the White Worm Mystery.
The cowardice of "slaves" is because they cannot resist, while force is full of legitimacy.
For the political order created by force, the ruled have the obligation to obey (or the ruler has the right to rule).
However, if the governed have such an obligation, if the governed change from weak to strong, this obligation will disappear.
This is a contradiction in this theory, but Mike feels that his theory is impeccable.
Even if it is full of absurdities and contradictions, he doesn't care at all.
Because it is now the stronger one, it has the right to dominate the other party.
In this case, all present political order should be destroyed.
This is the absurdity of legitimacy changing with strength and weakness.
The obligation of the weak to obey the strong cannot guarantee this ruling order at all; using force as the basis for legitimacy does not establish a political order.
Because the weak cannot remain weak, and the strong cannot remain strong.
That’s why they need to build a place that stands outside the world - [Border].
A [border] where force has absolute legitimacy.
A world where the weak are always weak and the strong are always strong.
There, even if he is the largest black marketeer, a tomb robber, a trafficker in charge of a human bone factory...
What does it matter?
As long as the purpose can be achieved, any means is justified.
The weak obeying the strong does not require the instruction of obligation, it is just an inevitable or forced behavior; or it is a wise behavior, that is, obeying in order to survive.
In other words, the weak obeying the strong does not need to prove that this obedience is legitimate, because even if it is not legitimate, they can only obey.
To say that he should obey is purely redundant, because without this "should" he would still have to obey.
It is redundant to say that the strong have the right to rule. "This right does not add anything new to strength."
This is the justice and core idea defined by the White Insect Secret Order. .
Mike Sabo looked at the blond young man in front of him expectantly. They were all owners of "power" and they were the same kind.
