Chapter 2570 Difficulties

Faced with the civil war among the giants, the 145th generation king chose to leave a mess and retreat to the island. He kept saying that he would launch an earthquake to level the mainland if anyone dared to disturb the peace of the island. However, he also made a 'no war contract', which was to use The power of the channel restrains the power of the ancestors and passes on the idea of ​​not fighting from generation to generation.

Therefore, the kings after the 145th generation were all affected by the 'no-fight contract'. Before inheriting the power, they clearly shouted to expel the giants, but as soon as they inherited the power, they all became cowards and were unwilling to cross the high wall. , all live guarding the three walls on the island, and say that paradise is within the walls.

The 145th generation king is very interesting. Facing the giant civil war, he seemed to see that the rule of the Eldians and the royal family was in danger, but he did not use his power to change the status quo he saw, nor to improve it. Contradictory, but choose to be an ostrich, completely contradictory on the outside and inside at the same time.

Because of his ‘no-fight contract’, it would be impossible for future kings to activate the Earth Cry. So after the kings learned the truth one by one, they all became the guardians of the high wall, suppressing the people who explored the secrets of the high wall and the world outside the high wall.

What Kenny Ackerman did after being summoned was to kill these guys who were too curious. It is euphemistically called the guardian of the last twilight paradise.

Kenny felt that he was not wrong because he also felt that this approach was right.

At this time, Kenny was determined to assassinate Duran, but was intercepted by the red meteor. Kenny thought that it would be better to die in battle than to live like this, but before he died, he wanted to reiterate that what he and Uli did was necessary.

See also necessary evil.

I don’t know when the meaning of necessary evil extended to all aspects and became an excuse to defend myself. Previously there was the head of the Judiciary of the Military Police Corps, and now there is Kenny Ackerman of the Suppression Force.

"Killing one person to save the world is not killing one person to benefit the world. Killing oneself to save the world is killing oneself to benefit the world." This passage from Duran comes from "Mozi Dachou", which can be regarded as clarifying the relationship between the Holy Mother Bitch and the Holy Mother. The essential difference: "Killing a person to protect the world does not mean that killing this person is good for the world. Killing yourself to protect the world is good for the world. Do you understand? What you call a necessary evil, It is untenable in itself.”

After all, a necessary evil does not initially mean doing bad things, nor does it mean that doing bad things is necessary. It means that there are some unreasonable things that cannot be eliminated in a short time, so they are called necessary evils, but the ultimate goal is to eliminate them. In the beginning, it actually refers to the countries in the West.

In the West, the state is a platform for local interest groups to share the spoils and also a platform for them to communicate. However, the emergence of the state has restricted local development, and it cannot be without a national platform. Therefore, Westerners call the state a necessary evil, an organization that is troublesome but necessary. Many Western philosophers believe that they can ultimately eliminate the state and achieve complete local autonomy by exerting their subjective initiative.

It can be seen that necessary evil actually exists when conflicts of interest have to be compromised, and it is not at all about killing people to maintain the overall situation.

Duran looked at Kenny and found that Kenny didn't understand. He explained: "What you and Uli did was to kill one person to save the world. Your actions maintain the status quo, but you are not as good as you imagined." is so great, maintaining the status quo does not mean it is beneficial, nor does it mean that what you maintain is a paradise. Obviously, in the eyes of most Eldians, you maintain the status quo to maintain their status as domestic animals. This is not a paradise but a pig. Circle." Duran said slowly: "What is truly beneficial to the world is to sacrifice yourself to change the world, just like what countless Eldian people are doing now, it is truly beneficial to the development of the world. ”

Now Kenny understood that Duran was denying all his and Uli's efforts. He clenched his fists, but didn't know how to refute.

Because there is nothing wrong with what Dulan said. Although killing others and killing yourself are both for the world, the social atmosphere formed in the end is completely different. From the perspective of the world, Uli and Kenny are simply heinous.

Between saving the world and benefiting the world, the former represents the declining bottom line, while the latter represents human pursuits.

"So now you still think my punishment for you is too severe?" Duran finally asked.

Kenny didn't know how to answer, because his heart was in confusion. He also has a growth trajectory, from an avenger to a necessary evil, and now he listens to Duran's words and begins to reflect, with new ideas constantly colliding with old ones.

This is also the reason why Duran didn't kill Kenny, because he was learning and he could think for himself.

However, he could convince Kenny, but he could not convince Allen, because Allen was still working hard to modify the timeline, and still wanted to achieve the ending of the earthquake that he had seen before.

But this is like the choice of Steins;Gate, no matter how much interference, Mikasa will walk into the office.

"Why?" Allen didn't understand. It was obvious that the interference went smoothly before. He fought when Mikasa was asked to fight and retreated when asked to retreat. But why couldn't it work this time?

He was obviously saving Mikasa's life, but Eren was going crazy, like a gamer who was furious because his save file was corrupted.

In the passage on the other side, Ymir's conversation was not smooth either, and Grandma ignored her at all. No matter how much Ymir tries to make trouble, this grandma who was born as a slave and has worked hard for two thousand years is just focused on making nonsense and not paying attention to the world's affairs.

What is going on? Ymir thought, is her grandmother deaf? In fact, even if she is deaf or stupid, she can communicate in the channel. Because the souls are here.

Ymir left the channel. She was helpless. Could it be that she really couldn't change the status quo, couldn't she become an ordinary person, and live with Historia forever?

"This is expected." The scientist said, "Duran has long said that the conversation will not go so smoothly. You don't have to be too disappointed. This is just the beginning."

"But I have tried all kinds of methods."

"Duran must have chosen you as the person to talk to for a reason. Come on." The scientist couldn't help, so he could only comfort Ymir.

Duran chose Ymir because she was sharp-tongued. Now she actually gave up her sharp tongue and went for the heart. Isn't this giving up her own advantage? After Ymir figured it out, she could continue the second conversation.

Ymir is thinking about how to deal with difficulties in the militia, which is to collect information and then make persistent efforts: "Can I take another look at the information of the ancestor Ymir?"

"Of course."

It is necessary to analyze the psychological state of the ancestor and then attack the opponent's weaknesses. Ymir must be active and live up to expectations. For her own happiness and for all Eldians, she must succeed.

So Ymir analyzed again and found that the ancestor was really a very servile person. The persecution she suffered can be said to be inhumane, but in the end she was willing to help the royal family and obey orders, without any resistance at all.

Ymir is very rebellious. Although her daily performance is to sneer at others, this is actually her way of resisting the world. Who made her have no other way? But this is also resistance, although it looks like a nitpicking.

I must inspire the rebellious spirit of the ancestor. It seems that Duran chose me because of my poisonous tongue. Ymir finally figured it out.
