Chapter 2187
Is it better for humans to destroy the earth themselves, or for those things outside to destroy it?
This is a problem, but if this problem is put in front of other people, 80% of people may directly choose to let humans destroy themselves. At least this seems to have some dignity, although this little dignity seems so ridiculous... But ah, humans are always particularly persistent in certain aspects.
Of course, the reason why many people are so determined is because they are just making assumptions instead of really letting them choose!
It’s like there was once a very interesting question that was widely circulated on the Internet.
Say there is a button in front of you. When you press it, a sum of money will be deposited into your account, but at the same time, a random person will die in the world.
The vast majority of the answers are, I want to press that button!
One netizen said: "I will press until I am the only one left in the world."
Of course, these are just jokes, and most people won’t even think about it too deeply, or if they do, they will choose to press the button without hesitation.
Because everyone knows that thing is just a joke and not a real option at all.
But what if it is true?
This is a moral paradox that torments everyone differently.
Just like the famous trolley problem, no matter which choice you make, it will be wrong.
The situation Benjamin is facing now is even more serious and cruel than this one.
He has to choose between self-destruction or being destroyed by others!
This is not zero and one, but zero and zero. After all, the ending is that everyone is doomed!
Others didn't know what to say at this time. Some wanted to denounce this practice, but they must not give up hope!
But when the words came to my lips, I didn't have the courage to continue.
Is there still hope?
By now, all the superheroes have been dispatched... but to no avail.
For example, in New York, Spider-Man, Daredevil and Tony Stark all tried very hard to save the city. But it was useless!
It is Cyttorak that has descended upon New York!
Cytorak is a mysterious entity with endless magical power, the ruler of the Crimson Universe of another dimension. He may be the most violent and eccentric of all the demons in other dimensions.
He appears as a huge, human-like god with blood-red skin. He sits atop a huge crimson throne, which is a pedestal of bloodstained corpses and piles of skulls, either trophies of his own wars or from the killings his followers have committed in his name.
He represents unbridled aggressiveness, mindless madness, and the blood that floods battlefields. He has an unquenchable thirst for blood, and favors those who take up arms and kill in his name. Cyttorak's cruelty and rage do not change for friend or foe. He watches with delight every act of slaughter and cruelty. It is said that when he hears his horn sounding across the Crimson Universe, his fury grows even more furious. At the height of his destruction and bloodshed, Cyttorak's roars can even echo across the wasteland, and those who hear them will fall into eternal madness.
He is the evil god who is most keen on inciting war among all the demon gods in different dimensions. He constantly whips his followers, instigating them to launch sieges again and again on all the cities, towns, and villages they see.
Cyttorak wishes nothing more than to witness the eternal destruction and war, to see his name known as the seas of the world replaced by blood and the mountains covered by the temples. Cyttorak is a believer in action, and he insists that even if a warrior is not engaged in one war, he should always be prepared for another. Although Cyttorak himself lacks long-term planning and strategic vision, he enjoys seeing the strategy and technology displayed in battle.
For example, if a scientist invented a weapon that could cause mass destruction, Setorak would be very happy and would even make that scientist his guest of honor... Of course, on the premise that the scientist could withstand the wrath of the Crimson Lord in the next second.
At the same time, Setorak hates any magic and spells. He does not accept any wizards who use spells or other messy things as his believers. The Crimson Lord treats things as if they were fighting a war, without using any strange tricks or tricks.
This guy is super violent!
If you want to please this guy, you don't have to think of any rituals or sacrifices. You just need to move forward on a path of pure violence and put yourself into endless slaughter and fighting. Then you can get the appreciation of the Crimson Lord!
In short, this guy is a melee control freak and a super violent person.
He always wants to see rivers of blood... He is probably the most difficult guy in the universe.
This guy doesn't have any specific goals, like conquering the universe or something like that.
In fact, he never explored the meaning of conquest. On the contrary, he thought that ruling was a rather boring thing and he only wanted to see rivers of blood.
He would not be so bored as to destroy the entire universe... In fact, most of the time, he just fought wars, and after the war, he would carry out a massacre and then retreat. He would never waste time on conquest, destruction or other messy things.
What he wanted was simple: rivers of blood.
He doesn't even care about winning or losing.
He only wants blood, he doesn't care whose it is!
The wars launched by the Crimson Universe always have winners and losers. If he wins, he feels great. If he loses, he feels equally great.
It's just... very tough.
But surprisingly, this guy has a surprisingly good reputation in the universe.
Many people think he is the God of War. After all, this guy really favors those who are brave in battle, and even grants them strength. From this point of view, this guy is quite positive, especially compared with his peers. He is so upright. He can use strategies, but he will never play dirty tricks. He will kill people wantonly, but he has no interest in extinction. After all, in his view, life has countless futures. Who knows what the future will be like?
If this race is exterminated, what if an extremely powerful person will appear in the future?
Then his fun would be diminished.
He will kill, but he won't kill.
Compared to those demon gods who suck the marrow out of people's bones, the moral standards of the Crimson Lord are simply too high to be true!
But to the Earth, this guy is actually very strange.
Strictly speaking, this guy has no connection with the Earth... He hasn't been to the Earth very often either.
He had always viewed the Earth as a small, weak, and worthless planet... The Earth, which many demons flocked to, was not worth mentioning in his eyes. As for the characteristics of the Earth other than destiny, they were even more worthless.
He himself is very open-minded about his own death.
Because he felt that if he died one day, it must be because of a battle that was destined to be recorded in the universe, a thrilling, epic and even mythical battle. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being killed in such a battle. After all, war is fair to everyone!
The winner lives, the loser dies!
If he died, it just meant that I wasn't strong enough, that's all.
So the earth is just an ordinary and weak little ball to us.
But now it was different, he saw chaos and killing.
So here he comes!
His main target is not even the people on Earth, but other demons that have come to Earth!
You should know that other demons are actually also very troubled by this guy. There is no way to communicate with him, and there is no reward for winning... We are all dimensional demons, we can't kill each other, and it is easy to be entangled. This guy likes to challenge the strong. If you kill him once, he will immediately continue to fight you excitedly.
So there is no benefit in winning the war, and it only causes a lot of trouble.
If you lose the fight... you lose even more!
So when this guy arrived, other demons deliberately avoided the area where he arrived.
This made the Crimson Lord very unhappy.
But he still didn't go to the people on Earth to vent his anger... But the problem is, for these alien demons, their existence itself is a disaster.
Even if he had no intention of targeting humans...
When the wrath of the Crimson Lord burned, many humans who were not strong enough in mind were immediately ignited by this rage... and became extremely violent. One by one, the Peanut Berserkers began to fight each other passionately.
Even if they just look at each other, uncontrollable anger will burst out in their hearts.
It really means 'what are you looking at'.
What's more, although this guy will not target humans, he will not care about humans either. When he landed in New York and began to move towards the nearest demon, an unprecedented earthquake broke out on the ground in New York!
New York is not located in an earthquake zone. New York is located near the mouth of the Hudson River on the northeastern coast of the United States, where the Earth's crust is relatively stable. Earthquakes are caused by the release of energy when rocks in the Earth's crust break, and they occur when rocks are subjected to stress that they cannot handle. In the New York area, the stress on the rocks is relatively small, so the likelihood of an earthquake is relatively small. Second, New York is not located in a major earthquake zone. An earthquake zone is an area of relatively concentrated seismic activity in the Earth's crust, usually associated with plate boundaries or faults. New York is not in such an earthquake-active area, so the frequency and intensity of earthquakes are relatively low.
In addition, the topography of the New York area also affects seismic activity. New York is located on the Hudson River Estuary Plain, with low terrain and no significant mountains or plateaus. This topographical feature means that there is no significant tectonic movement or crustal deformation in the area, further reducing the possibility of earthquakes.
A 4.8 magnitude earthquake in New York is considered a record.
For the Japanese, earthquakes of this magnitude are simply unnoticeable. There are small earthquakes almost every day in their area, with an average of about 1500 perceptible earthquakes per year.
4.8 is nothing.
But when the Crimson Lord descended, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 occurred.
This guy is over 150 meters tall! He can collapse a skyscraper with just a stomp of his feet! You can imagine what New York would look like if he ran at full speed!
It seemed as if the entire New York would disappear in the next second!
In this situation, New York's superheroes naturally couldn't just sit back and watch, so they took action... but it was useless!
The Crimson Lord had no intention of paying any attention to them... their attack was too gentle.
It was like tickling him.
New York has fallen!
It's not just New York, other cities have also experienced similar things.
No one can help them!
And those who agreed to die together did not dare to speak at this time... They did not dare to take such responsibility.
Benjamin looked at the opened nuclear bomb launcher in front of him with a pale face and kept struggling.
"Ow!!!!"
Just then, a scream was suddenly heard.
The sound was so loud that everyone had to cover their ears.
You have to know that they are now in the White House bunker, more than ten meters above the ground, with steel plates and reinforced concrete in between!
What sound can come in?
Then suddenly, the president's personal secret service suddenly rushed in and knocked over the nuclear bomb launch box.
Then he shouted with surprise on his face: "That ghost thing is disappearing! He is wailing! He is going to die!!!"
Originally, other people were dissatisfied with the behavior of the president's personal guards... Everyone here is of a much higher rank than him, and this is a secret meeting. Without the president's order, his breaking in can be considered treason!
But his next words made everyone forget his overstepping of authority!
"What did you say?!!"
At this time, someone rushed to the door and they wanted to arrange someone to observe.
After all, electronic devices cannot see what is really happening.
Then soon, someone brought good news through the communication.
The huge face in the sky that kept changing and shifting in color was wailing and disappearing.
"Kama-Taj! The Ancient One!!!!"
This sentence reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone knows... or thinks they know the truth.
Kamar-Taj used to be a secret, but since the last battle between the MUTOs and Godzilla, Kamar-Taj and the Master are no longer secret news in a small circle. They had always hoped to get in touch with this mysterious organization, but there has been no progress. The only thing they know is that the famous surgeon Strange has become the Master of Kamar-Taj. The US government has contacted Strange more than once hoping to get in touch with Kamar-Taj, but unfortunately the results were not very good.
"Are we safe?"
Benjamin muttered to himself.
Then there was cheering everywhere.
It's not just Dormammu above Washington, but every demon on Earth is wailing.
Especially the Crimson Lord.
His wails were the loudest, not because he was really afraid of pain... but because he was the most grief-stricken and angry. He came here to find someone to fight, but before he even met the enemy, he felt that his energy was forcibly sucked away!
He came here to fight!
In the end, he went home without even seeing the enemy... Isn't this a huge loss?
Of course, people like the Crimson Lord are a minority, and most of the demons from other dimensions are cursing Ancient One.
There is no way since Gu Yi is an old friend and they have confronted each other many times.
Based on what those alien demons know about Ancient One, this guy is definitely capable of doing such a thing.
After all, using the lives of some ants as bait, letting them descend in large numbers and then solving them all at once would definitely cause these demons to suffer heavy losses.
It is estimated that it will not be able to come back to Earth to cause trouble for hundreds of years.
No matter how you look at it, this deal is going to be a lucrative one!
