The explanation given by Ancient One to Kai made Kai have more questions about the world. →

"Why did those immortals do this?" This was Kai's first question.

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝘁𝘄𝗸𝗮𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺]

"Freedom! They do this just for freedom!" Gu Yi gave an answer that Kai could never have imagined.

"Freedom?" This answer is too vague. According to the information Kai has received now, those immortals are extremely powerful. There is no existence in this world that can enslave him!

Gu Yi saw Kai's doubts, and she asked Kai: "Do you believe in fate?"

Kai squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"But fate does exist, at least before the immortals made their final plan, fate did exist. At that time, everything in the world was controlled by fate, and even the gods could only succumb to the arrangements of fate. Most people Knowing nothing about this, they are undoubtedly lucky, but They lived their lives carefree and confused, but some people saw their fate, which made them extremely painful, because they felt that it denied the meaning of their existence. It was also at that time that a group of people decided to resist, and they were unwilling. Become the puppets of fate. They call themselves immortals."

"We don't know how those immortals did it back then. We only know that many years ago, the immortals blocked the East and fought a decisive battle with destiny there. They won that battle, and they helped the world break free. The shackles of fate, but the result of that battle also caused the immortals to lose everything. After the immortals completed the protection of the world, they disappeared completely. "

Furuichi told Kai what he knew without hiding anything. Kai couldn't tell the truth from the lie, so he just listened to it and believed it until he found evidence.

"Second question, where have those gods gone? Why has Camelot disappeared as well?"

"Each race of gods has its own destination, and I don't know. All I know is Asgard. They left the earth and rebuilt their own civilization in another world. And I don't know the whereabouts of the ancient Celts. Clearly, I only know that it seems that the mage named Merlin used a huge spell to strip them of this dimension. As for where they went... I can't do anything."

"Leaved?" Kai couldn't tell exactly what he was feeling at that time. A little sour and a little relieved. Kai didn't like to show his emotions in front of outsiders. He quickly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and then asked: "Does this mean that you are maintaining the world now?"

Ancient One shook his head: "It's 'us', I'm not alone. The guardian of the world is too great, so it can't be maintained by the power of one person alone. So a long time ago, Agamotto organized a group of mages to serve as guardians of the world. maintainers, and this organization continues to this day.”

Kai was a little strange now. Since he was an organization, why would he turn a blind eye to the war happening in front of him? It shouldn't be difficult to eliminate a war with the ability of a mage. If there was only Gu Yi before, Kai could understand, how powerful could one person be?

But now he knows that Gu Yi is not alone! Then why did she sit back and watch this war happen? Isn’t their job to protect the world?

Kai didn't hide his doubts.

And Gu Yi also gave his own answer.

"What we protect is the world, but human beings are free. We have no obligation, let alone the right, to tell them what they should do and what they should not do. Unless there is a catastrophe that threatens the survival of the entire human race, we cannot interfere. human beings.”

"So you never tried to stop the war?"

"That's their own choice! Have you seen those demons?" Gu Yi asked.

"Yes, I also want to say. Didn't Agamotto always want to completely solve the demon invasion? Why did he come to your place and sit back and watch those demons appear?" In the era when Agamotto was still alive, demons had always been Agamotto's main concern. Opponent, he has always believed that demons are human beings' biggest enemies. The relationship between humans and demons is equivalent to that of wolves and rabbits. No, it's more naked and terrifying than this relationship.

In the eyes of demons, humans are a precious resource similar to oil. They will do whatever they can to get it. This is why Agamotto is always on guard against demons.

But now, what Kai sees is completely different. This world does not say that demons are running all over the streets, but from the news that Kai has received, it can be seen that there are not many demons appearing in this world.

"Devils...demons cannot come into this world through the guardianship of the world. But those summoned by humans themselves are not included in this list. We can prevent the invasion of demons, but we cannot prevent humans from actively letting demons in. We will protect the world , but we will try not to interfere with human beings’ choices.”

Does Ancient One like that demons are active in this world? Of course not, she would choose to kill all the demons if she could. But the reality is that humans themselves summoned demons into this world. This is very helpless.

"Kama Taj's responsibility is to protect the earth from being invaded by other latitudes. We only deal with invasions from the outside world and will not interfere with the secular world. Our highest rule is not to interfere with the operation of this world, whether it is good or bad, it is Humanity’s own choice. This is also the free will that the immortals want.”

When Gu Yi was young, she couldn't understand this rule. Why did they have such powerful abilities but stood by and watched the outside world? But as she grew older, she finally understood Agamotto's painstaking efforts. He was trying to prevent Kamar-Taj from becoming a shackle for humans.

Absolute power will only lead to absolute corruption. If you want Kamar-Taj to not degenerate, the best way is to extract Kamar-Taj from the world and look at the world with a more rational and objective attitude. If they participate too much in this world, they will definitely be assimilated by this world. Once they are involved too much, there will naturally be a relationship of interest. Once the interests appear, can Kamar-Taj still look at the world fairly and objectively? What will Kamar-Taj become at that time?

Humans may have many shortcomings, but they can always learn something from some things, whether those things are good or bad. This is also the expectation of those great beings for humans. On the contrary, when human thoughts are bound, humans are truly "dead"!

Kai was a little uncomfortable with Gu Yi's words. When a disaster occurs, being able to stand by and watch does not conform to Kai's three views. But Kai can also understand what Ancient One meant.

To put it simply, the relationship between the so-called magic organization Kamar-Taj and humans is more like that between parents and children.

Parents will provide their children with a stable environment, but they cannot make decisions for them. The good and bad things that children experience are all necessary for their growth. If parents intervene too much, the children will either rebel or be completely spoiled.

…

Kai has no intention of changing the rules of Kamar-Taj. Kai is just a time traveler, not an omniscient person. How does he know that Kamar-Taj's approach must be wrong? He only has a few decades of experience. You ask him to guide an organization that has existed for nearly ten thousand years on how to do things? Don't be funny. Those who really think so are either idiots or arrogant.

At least for so many years, others have done a good job.

So Kai decisively did not delve into this issue, but turned to the main business.

"Why did you call me here this time?" In fact, when Kai asked this question, he had a rough answer in his mind.

"Ares!" Ancient One said.

Sure enough, it seems that only the Ares incident can make Kamar-Taj, who has been hiding in the dark, suddenly contact Kai. Otherwise, Kamar-Taj has plenty of opportunities to contact Kai, and there is no need to choose this time specifically.

"What on earth did he do that made you come to me on your own initiative."

Although he asked this, Kai knew that it must be a terrible disaster, otherwise Kamar-Taj would not come to him. After all, Kamar-Taj did not even intervene in the First World War, but Ares exposed Kamar-Taj. You can imagine how big the things Ares did.

"He opened his war field!"

...

When Kai appeared again, his face was very ugly. Half of it was because of the sequelae of teleportation, and the other half was because of Ares.

This bastard finally did something big!

Thinking of this, Kai could only wake up the others in the middle of the night and tell them that they had no time to wait and had to set off immediately.

Diana was a little strange. Didn't the Nautilus say that it would come in the second half of the night? Why set off now, there are still a few hours left.

"No time to explain, let's go now." After saying that, Kai suddenly started to gesture with his hands, and then stretched out his right index finger to draw a circle with a diameter of about 30 centimeters in the air. An orange-red light circle formed in the air, gradually getting bigger, and finally formed a "door" with a diameter of about three meters and flashing orange sparks.

Opposite the door is a beach, and there is a sign on the beach that reads "Welcome to Astor Beach".

Astor Beach is the best beach in Athens. This beach is very famous in later generations, but now... it can only be said that not many people know about it except the Athenians themselves. But it is not difficult to see the destination from the Temple of Poseidon in the distance.

At least Afu recognized that it was Athens at a glance.

A group of people looked at Kai stupidly. They didn't understand why Kai didn't show it earlier since he knew this. If so, how much time they would save.

"What are you looking at? This thing can only be used once! Hurry over!"

Kai naturally doesn't know this kind of magic. This is entirely the credit of Ancient One. She specially opened the legendary door for Kai in order to let Kai reach Athens as soon as possible. Kai was just making random gestures over there. Kai was very unhappy with this approach. Ancient One was too mysterious.

But Ancient One insisted that Kamar-Taj could only be known by those who needed to know, and as for irrelevant people, they didn't need to know any information about Kamar-Taj. This time, the trouble of solving Ares was also that the mages of Kamar-Taj would only act in secret, and all the work on the surface needed to be done by Kai.

Especially for Ares, Ancient One told Kai that the mages of Kamar-Taj were not only not very proficient in fighting, but also very few in number. In order to reduce losses, Ares taught Kai. Of course, in order to ensure Kai's victory, Kai was treated a little preferentially.

He got a Kamar-Taj ring, which could temporarily ignore the suppression of the world guardian. In other words, Kai can now fully exert his full strength during the existence of the ring.

If it weren't for Ares, Kamar-Taj wouldn't have let something like this that would destroy the balance flow out. The World Guardian treats everyone in this world equally. Except for the mages of Kamar-Taj, there's no other way, they are the main force in maintaining the World Guardian.

Soon a group of people passed through the portal.

Like Kai, everyone couldn't bear the sequelae of teleportation, and everyone started vomiting after passing through.

As everyone passed through, the portal disappeared.

"What is that?" Diana was a little better, and she was almost done after vomiting twice. But when she just looked up, she found that the sky in the distance had turned blood red, and under the sky was a burning city!

"Athens!" Kai said coldly.

In Athens, after a day and a night of massacre, the entire city has completely become hell. This place has become a world of undead and monsters. Humans have basically been killed, and countless limbs and arms are scattered randomly throughout the city. The blood has not coagulated after such a long world, but has formed streams in the streets, flowing continuously.

The monsters searched for anything they were interested in in the city. What they loved most was humans. Whether it was for simple killing or for venting, humans were their best targets. More monsters gathered together, they piled up the corpses together, and then danced a dance to pay tribute to the god of war next to them, while chewing human flesh with blood.

They compared how many people they had killed and were proud of it.

A strange-looking dragon flew through the air, constantly spitting out flames to set the remaining buildings on fire. The crackling sound of the flames and the sound of the window glass shattering were the best music to tell what the city had just experienced.

"Ares!!!!"

When a group of people saw this scene on a hill near Athens, Diana could no longer bear it.

"Ah... Ares... You are in big trouble after all!"

Kai looked at all this, but his face showed no expression. To put it bluntly, Kai was actually prepared for everything in front of him.

"Let's go, let's end it all!"

...

In the center of the city, in the former Greek palace, Ares opened his eyes on the throne made of bones.

"It's coming faster than I thought, Kai." After saying that, Ares ordered Phobos beside him: "Go, my son, take my army to spread death."

Phobos frowned and looked at his father.

"Father, what about you?"

"Hahaha, me? Of course I'm staying to meet my old friend. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"But..." Who is the old friend that Phobos is talking about? But that's why he's worried. He knows that Ares has never had an advantage against Kai.

"No buts, Phobos." Ares is confident about this. "Don't forget, those stupid humans made me stronger than ever before."

The scale and cruelty of World War I indeed far exceeded all wars in human history, and war is the source of Ares' power. So Ares was stronger than ever before at this time.
