Chapter 2461: Lack of Power
For a moment, Aqua looked like a god, gathering divine light, fighting with all her might, risking her life, and who else could do it but me. In that moment, the divine light shone.
Everyone looked sideways, attracted by Aqua's attack.
Under everyone's attention, Aqua's divine light punched out and hit the enemy. The frozen slime was hit hard, shattered and died instantly.
Won.
Aqua stood aside with a faint smile, letting the wind from the explosion blow, stirring her hair and moving her clothes.
"Stupid goddess, don't rush to pose. Don't you see that the hot spring is polluted?" Kazuma pointed at the hot spring, which still needed the goddess to purify it.
"Leave it to me." Aqua feels very good now. She has joined a new religion, gained more abundant faith, and increased her strength a lot. Now she feels like a brand new person. She no longer looks down on the small opponents of the level of the Demon King Army cadres: "Simple, simple, I will make you look at me with new eyes now." As she said that, she put her hand deep into the hot spring.
Then, there was no more. The hot spring city was closed. The Akusis Church was almost smashed directly because Aqua turned the hot spring directly into boiled water and could not open for a period of time.
Ai Fin had to turn the water back into a hot spring. When surrounded, Aqua betrayed her original religion very unfaithfully, saying that she was a member of the Akusis Church, causing the residents to surround the Akusis Church to vent their anger. And Aqua and the others ran away in disgrace. They obviously defeated the Demon King Army cadres, but they did not benefit at all. They looked like losers in disgrace.
It was really unlucky. Now they can only go back to the Novice Village first.
Duran asked them to write an essay again and reflect deeply on what happened.
They are used to it. They all know that Duran did this to make them reflect on the harm that gods and travelers have done to the other world, hoping that everyone will oppose them. Although they have a better understanding of the means of gods, they can never oppose gods. After all, the power displayed by gods is still incomprehensible, unknown, and inexplicable.
The fear caused by unknown and inexplicable things is the source of religious power. The more unknown, the more deeply rooted it is.
However, they have figured out Duran's routine, so when writing essays, they deeply express that the other world has indeed been oppressed and harmed, so they should work hard to change all this.
So it was time to mark homework again. Duran said: "It's better than last time, there is progress, which is worthy of recognition. But don't learn from elementary school students to make up stories. Are these your true words, or are they just to deal with homework?"
He Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "There is no one like you. We wrote poorly and said that we didn't have a deep understanding. Now we have improved, and you say that we are dealing with homework. What can we do to satisfy you?" It's like a student expressing dissatisfaction with the teacher and complaining that the teacher's heart is hard to guess.
"I hope you can truly realize what you should do and truly awaken."
"Just a few of us?" Kazuma said that it was too difficult for them: "Why don't you just tell me what to do, it's easier. You always ask us to write essays, and you are not satisfied with what we write, so why waste time?"
Others nodded again and again. Duran was really too difficult.
It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. In the past, Duran also directly gave power to let the protagonist improve his strength and achieve the goal, but that was too boring. So now Duran likes to temper the protagonist's mind and help them awaken.
However, Kazuma is a person who is stubborn and hard to deal with. On the contrary, some ambitious protagonists are more likely to be influenced. Kazuma is a otaku who only wants to live a small life. His goals are not ambitious and he does not have a broad mind. Although he will help the weak when he sees them, he will ignore them. This kind of person is the most difficult to reform.
Kazuma is satisfied with a wife, children and a warm bed, and he is still young, already has a big house, no worries about food and clothing, and can get a good set of equipment. He has done many things that his peers can't do, so he can be satisfied. So no matter how reasonable Duran's high-sounding theories are, what does it have to do with him? Kazuma just thinks it's troublesome.
It can be seen that Kazuma is very impatient, but Duran can't make Kazuma change his face, because Kazuma has no motivation to change.
"Speaking of which, I'm not the only time traveler, there is also Yu Jian Xiangye, why don't you catch him to write an essay?" Sato Kazuma wanted to ask clearly a long time ago, why did you catch him? "That guy wants to save the world, he must be happy to listen to you."
This is true, Yu Jian Xiangye is fighting hard to get the recognition of the goddess, be a good hero, and spread his gentleness, which is really different from Kazuma. If it were him, Duran's words would definitely work, but Yu Jian Xiangye would probably find it difficult to fight against the goddess.
Now Duran suddenly understood why the devil always wanted to capture the heroine. In the past, when he watched those works of art, he always felt that the villain was really looking for trouble. Why did he have to capture the heroine? Why did he have to make things difficult for her when the world is so big? Now he understands that if he didn't capture the woman, the protagonist wouldn't become the protagonist.
Because he captured the woman, the protagonist and the villain had a fierce conflict, and the protagonist had an important motivation to fight against the villain. After all, not all protagonists can be set to be bright and noble, and righteous men with a broad mind. Not everyone is worried about the world before they are happy.
Most people are actually numb. Only when their own interests are harmed will they take the road of fighting against the devil, such as when a woman is captured, as in "Fist of the North Star". Another example is when parents are killed, which is even more classic. Revenge is the most common motive in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
Of course, there are also a group of people who are chosen to save the world as arranged by fate, that is, the so-called heroes. However, generally speaking, the heroes will not accept it immediately in the early stage. Instead, they will have a relationship of interest with the world, and then lose their interests, and finally make up their minds to defeat the devil.
Duran thought, should I also capture Aqua and force Kazuma to fight against the heaven? In this case, it is very simple, and Kazuma can become the kingly protagonist.
The great truth obviously cannot be the reason for Kazuma to fight. Of course, this is also the highlight of Kazuma, the protagonist, that is, to be anti-mainstream and anti-traditional. Shouldering the mission, but being content with the status quo, is completely different from those warrior protagonists who are responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It is refreshing for the audience, and even makes the audience feel that they should be like this when they travel through time. After all, as long as there is no conflict between the devil army and themselves, who wants to care about them?
If the Demon King Army doesn't care, then they won't care about the behavior of the Heaven Realm. In the final analysis, the young people of the island country have no concerns and low desires. They no longer regard the world as their responsibility. The world has nothing to do with the young people of the island country.
So if Duran really wants to motivate Kazuma, he must give Kazuma motivation, but this is difficult to do.
