Chapter 110: The Noble Who Strays From the Path

Karoso looked up and gazed at Surtr.

"You can’t beat me, but the gods of this world won’t be your match either," Surtr said with a slight smile. "Or do you trust that elf?"

"Remember, no matter her intentions, she acts on her own terms, without considering your thoughts at all."

"Did she tell you to test your problem-solving skills? Don’t be fooled, she’s just having fun at your expense."

"If you had failed back then and fallen into the abyss, she would have simply said she picked the wrong person and moved on to find someone else interesting."

"Do you think she really cares about how this world is? Would such a being even care?"

"She must be your enemy."

"I know," Karoso replied. "I’ve been through this kind of intense teaching before. I’m aware she’s just playing around. Whether she’s a foe or a friend doesn’t matter."

"Before I have absolute power, my thoughts are even less significant!"

Messiah’s conversation with Karoso was clear even with the netizen’s comments.

[I wonder when this darn thing will die?]

[A person who thinks too highly of themselves should suffer, pretending to help others while harming them, these kinds of people are truly sick.]

[No matter how great the words sound, sacrificing others for so-called righteousness or saving the world is not a noble reason to harm others and claim it’s for a good cause.]

Karoso knew that the netizen was very upset and protective of him, not wanting him to be bullied.

But, what could Karoso do at that time?

Osiris once said, when your enemies are not too strong, it’s best to pretend to submit a bit, in order to gather more information and benefits.

Anger doesn’t solve anything, it’s better to gather strength and show your fangs when you are powerful.

As a hero, Osiris’s growth was not smooth sailing, he has also faced setbacks and surrendered.

Those who fought fiercely are now just skeletons, and Osiris has become the king of Canglang Province.

He could share a table and drink with enemies, yet draw his sword without warning. Osiris’s teachings shaped his upbringing.

The voices of commoners cannot influence the decisions of nobles, unless they are willing to unite.

The voices of nobles cannot sway the will of the gods, unless they possess the ability to overthrow them.

Karoso understood this well, so when conversing with the messiah, he did not show disgust or act as some netizens suggested. Instead, he gathered intelligence.

When the time is right, the reckoning will come.

The netizens had informed Karoso about his future strength, giving him the confidence to settle this score.

"You’re quite insightful," Surtr smiled. "So, you don’t want to accept my power?"

"No, I want to keep the power of the Card Maker, your power – all of it," Karoso stepped forward.

"Um…" Surtr looked surprised, "Are you so greedy?"

"I think you approached me because there must be something interesting about me, or maybe you just want to have some fun," Karoso said, "In that case, why not look for something more exciting?"

"Double development, are you sure you can handle it?" Surtr said calmly, "Perhaps, in the future, you will end up being useless in both aspects."

"That’s no loss for you, is it?"

"Hahaha…" Surtr suddenly laughed, "You’re right, there’s no loss for me… I can give you this power, as long as… you can handle it yourself."

"I definitely can."

"Next to you, there is a person who possesses two Professional Marks, but do you know what she has sacrificed?" Surtr stared at Karoso.

"The lives of her loved ones, she has a dual soul," Karoso answered.

"She is a High Elf, she had to lose her loved ones before gaining such power, what makes you think you can do it," Surtr squinted.

"Just because I am Karoso Colloa, the person who can change the world in the future!"

"Can you tell me, what is your dream? How can you change the world?"

"My friend told me about a theory called the red theory." Karoso sat in front of Surtr and said seriously, "For humans to achieve equality, to be in charge of themselves, there is one condition – no gods can interfere in the human world."

"The disappearance of the gods’ voices is not something you humans can achieve," Surtr waved his hand.

"But my friends… they seem to long for such a world." Karoso looked at the dim sky, "Where people govern themselves, no hierarchy, everyone is equal…"

"Do you think this is possible?" Surtr seemed intrigued.

This theory was the first time she had heard of it.

As long as there are differences in power, ability, and morality, this is impossible.

"If we don’t try, it will never happen. As long as we move in that direction, it’s not the wrong path." Karoso sighed, "To make this path feasible, the first step is to block all gods, so that the voices of the gods can never reach the human world again."

"You are a noble yourself, do you not think your thoughts are somewhat rebellious?" Surtr looked peculiar.

"Because they can elevate me to that height, I must provide them with enough in return." Karoso said earnestly, "They may claim they want nothing in return, but if I do nothing, my heart will never be at peace."

"Furthermore, if I truly reach that height, does it still matter whether I am considered a noble or not?"

"Your mind is peculiar, only a little imp yet daring to think so far ahead. Aren’t you afraid I might be displeased and extinguish you?" Surtr chuckled.

"Just like them." Karoso pressed his hand to the ground, and a tiny ant crawled out of its nest.

Karoso picked up a piece of meat scrap that had fallen during the battle and placed it among the ant colony.

As the ants began to move the meat scrap away, Karoso casually took it back.

"At this moment, they claim they will resist me. Do you think I will be unhappy or look forward to it?"

"What are your friends like?" Surtr was genuinely curious.

"They were just ordinary people, but dared to dream more than anyone else." Karoso smiled slightly, "Their thoughts were sometimes normal, even most of the time they had a small-minded attitude like common folks, clear in their likes and dislikes, but sometimes crazier than anyone else."

"Unfortunately, the voices of the gods have vanished, and now I can’t see your friends." Surtr waved his hand, "Alright, it’s time for you to leave."

"Why did the voices of the gods disappear?" Karoso asked quickly.

"I told you, you wouldn’t be able to hear it."
