People in the sandbox, starting the final trial
Page 417
The current situation is very different from that in the original book.
In the original novel, Canary failed in her crusade against Absolute Evil, and Arcadia was subsequently destroyed. When fighting against Absolute Evil, the attitudes of all parties were somewhat ambiguous.
No one knows who caused Kasugabe Takaaki to lose his human identity.
Correspondingly, whoever goes to attack Azdahaka will naturally be suspected.
Competition!
You wanted the favor of defeating Absolute Evil, so you schemed against Canary – theoretically, this was a reason.
A theoretical reason is enough. The gods are not good people. The right reason plus enough benefits are enough for some gods to take action afterwards.
Su Qing doesn’t care about what happens afterwards. When he bears the distortion of human history behind absolute evil, why would he bother about so many trivial matters?
But the gods care.
Even if there were gods who were ready to defeat Azdahaka, and he had nothing to do with the destruction of Arcadia – in the beginning, no gods would go looking for trouble with the gods who had defeated the Demon King, but the hidden danger remained.
In the sandbox, false accusation is a real crime, but to gods and Buddhas, the dead are sometimes more useful than the living.
If Arcadia wants to target certain groups of gods, that is definitely not possible, and most of Arcadia’s supporters will oppose it.
It’s not that the gods are so strange, but that the gods can’t tolerate it anymore. Someone can destroy the gods at will… What if it’s their turn?
The gods have seen many cases where the lips and teeth are interdependent.
But the consensus among the gods is that if this matter does not affect themselves and is beneficial to them, then they can consider doing it.
Arcadia wants to target other groups of gods, and many gods that originally supported Arcadia will not help.
Arcadia was destroyed, and many gods who supported Arcadia were willing to seek justice for Arcadia and destroy the gods who were clearly suspected of causing the destruction of Arcadia.
Among them, the reason why many gods are willing to do so is not because of their good relationship with Arcadia.
Firstly, there are benefits in destroying other gods. Secondly, “being clearly related to the destruction of Arcadia” is a harsh condition that has indeed aroused the disgust of most gods. These gods do not think they can encounter it.
The gods felt that even if they did something similar in the future, such as secretly destroying a human history community with a wide network of relationships, it would not be possible to expose clear suspicion.
If it is really exposed, it means that the plan was too superficial and he deserves to die.
Regarding the crusade against Azdahaka, the only ones in the entire Box Garden who are truly worried are probably the Mother of Evil and Indra.
These two knew clearly how difficult it was to defeat Azdahaka, and that only humans with spiritual connections to Azdahaka were qualified to defeat him.
Most of the gods and Buddhas in the box garden only know that “it is useless for gods to descend to heaven as humans, and humans must face Azdahaka.”
All humans can defeat Azdahaka, which is much more difficult than defeating Azdahaka only by those who are related to spirits and Azdahaka.
The gods take the threat of absolute evil very seriously, but not seriously enough.
Many gods were even worried that if they told their heroes that they could try to defeat Azdahaka, they would be slandered by other gods in the future as the masterminds behind the destruction of Arcadia and then be taken down.
Arcadia itself does not have the power to destroy the gods, but the destruction of Arcadia can serve as an excuse to make many gods fearful.
Practical benefits can barely serve as evidence.
This is how Zoroastrianism was destroyed. The universal truth of goodness inexplicably fell into their hands, and when Yahweh came to them, the other gods did not help.
In general, there is a certain consensus among the gods in the sandbox.
If Yahweh hits you today and I don’t say anything, Yahweh will come to trouble me tomorrow, isn’t that…
Wait, is it because Zoroastrianism has some cosmic truth of unknown origin?
That’s fine.
If the truth of the universe inexplicably falls on my head, and you remain silent when Yahweh comes to hit me, then I will accept it.
——The major premise is here. If you make sure that you don’t intervene now, you won’t be held responsible for similar reasons in the future. Then when Yahweh strikes down Zoroastrianism, a group of small and medium-sized gods will naturally want to share some of the credit from Zoroastrianism.
It’s the same thing when it comes to the fall of Arcadia.
Who destroyed Arcadia?
do not know.
After the destruction of Arcadia, who benefited the most?
I didn’t know that before.
Now we know that whoever fights against absolute evil will gain the most.
The excuse for taking action is here, and all that remains is to wait for the rumors to spread. Hundreds or thousands of years later, the whole box garden will be saying that it was xxx who destroyed Arcadia just for the feat of conquering absolute evil.
Of course, if the person concerned really fights against absolute evil, the gods will not be able to take action in the name of opposing the box garden.
Even if it was really Su Qing who caused Kasugabe Takaaki to lose his human identity, causing Arcadia’s campaign against absolute evil to fail, this cannot be an excuse for the gods to take action.
The winner has his own reasons.
In order to be able to conquer absolute evil, he takes action against other conquerors. In the final analysis, as long as he succeeds in the end, outsiders will only give him a few curses at most.
But Arcadia was destroyed.
There is no evidence in the entire box court to prove that the person who caused Arcadia’s defeat of Absolute Evil is the same person who destroyed Arcadia.
But the gods in the box garden can consciously ignore this and treat them as the same person.
The hero who conquered the final trial will not be judged for “framing other conquerors”, but will be conquered for “I want to avenge Arcadia, my brothers and sisters, my beloved relatives and friends”.
——Then many groups of gods, while crying about how tragically their brothers had died, divided up the profits of the destroyed groups of gods.
To put it bluntly, the way to play for small groups of gods in the box garden is to gain as much benefit as possible, but they dare not act against the interests of the majority of the gods.
Small and medium-sized groups of gods are well aware that consensus is the guarantee that they can survive in the box garden and not be swallowed up by large groups of gods.
Large groups of gods will destroy small and medium-sized groups of gods without reason. Small and medium-sized groups of gods will take action because they are afraid that if they do not take action, they will be the next to be destroyed.
There are small and medium-sized groups of gods who provoke large groups of gods. When the large group of gods fights back, most of the small and medium-sized groups of gods will just stand by and watch. This is your own way to death, and other small and medium-sized groups of gods will not pay for your mistake.
The Greek gods dared to accept Su Qing’s proposal and proposed to fight against absolute evil. Firstly, the Greek gods still had some strength, and secondly, when the time really came, they also thought that they could buy Su Qing directly.
They, Greece, are just a white glove, the blame cannot be placed on them.
Therefore, in the original work, the expedition against Azdahaka was extremely strange.
The gods held a unified meeting in heaven and sent Sun Wukong to stop Bai Yaksha who wanted to go down to the mortal world. The heavenly army did not move and everything was left to the community below to handle.
Even the slogan of abandoning the existing small garden and rebuilding a new one has been called for.
However, rebuilding the new box garden requires the spiritual power of Shiroyaksha, and the person sent by the gods to snatch the sovereignty of the sun from Shiroyaksha is Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong also brought Tianyanhu, and persuaded Bai Yasha on the spot, allowing Bai Yasha and her to hide in Tianyanhu to avoid the “hunt” of the gods.
——It’s as if the gods of the little garden have no brains and don’t even understand Shiroyasha’s personality and fighting ability.
The plan has been turned over and over again, and on the surface it just highlights that the gods don’t know who prevented Arcadia from fighting against absolute evil, and there is really no need to rebuild a new box garden now… But if you dare to continue doing this, we will change to a new box garden to play.
Some people always take it lightly when the gun safety is not on.
The safety is on and the bullet is loaded. Although things haven’t come to the point where both parties will perish, if you continue to push your luck… I can still survive if I remain timid, and you make money by breaking the rules so I don’t lose too much, but why should I indulge you?
Either you don’t make trouble, or you tear it down and rebuild the garden from scratch, your choice!
If you cause trouble, I will destroy you both.
Even in the original novel, Azdahaka’s breaking of the seal was ‘accidental’.
——This is pure nonsense. The gods may not be able to figure out who destroyed Arcadia or who built Ouroboros, but most of the people in Ouroboros are undercover agents of the gods. This is not false.
As soon as the mastermind placed the flag of Arcadia into the Ouroboros’s storehouse of favor, the gods in heaven knew about it.
Afterwards, Ouroboros sent some personnel to release the seal of Azdahaka.
When the seal was just released and Hakuyasha wanted to go down to the mortal world to seal Azdahaka, all the gods had finished their meeting, the Renli Heaven was empty, and Sun Wukong was able to stop Hakuyasha.
If you insist on saying that the liberation of Azdahaka was all Ouroboros’ fault, then the gods made the decision the instant Byakuyasha reacted, the general assembly of all gods was over, and Renlitian’s heavenly soldiers were all withdrawn… Who would believe this?
In the original work, firstly, no group of gods were willing to try to defeat Azdahaka, and secondly, the difficulty of defeating Azdahaka was really high, so this strange mode was finally used.
Nowadays, it is the Greek gods who are openly claiming that they are responsible for the crusade against Azdahaka, and naturally the gods will not adopt the attitude in the original work.
In the original novel, the gods were unsure of the chances of success in the crusade, and they couldn’t find the person responsible if they lost, let alone restrict the person who had destroyed the final trial of mankind.
Now, there is someone responsible.
The gods withdrew the relevant personnel from the City of Brilliant Flame early on, and the fewer non-combatants there were, the better.
In the original book, it was the gods who told those who were causing trouble to stop causing trouble. If you dare to cause trouble, I will rebuild the small garden and we will go our separate ways.
Nowadays, people who stir up trouble will not be given any chance. Gods and Buddhas will treat anyone who releases spiritual energy into the battlefield as a suspect.
Not only the gods and Buddhas, but also the people who were originally in the outer gate were directly cleared out, leaving only the personnel who participated in the battle.
The gods are responsible for consuming the community of Azdahaka. Whoever dares to cause trouble during the crusade will find a way to apologize afterwards.
Not to mention the local humans in Huangyan City, the gods are not allowed to leave any of them. Who knows if there are any people among them who are pseudonyms created by gods or Buddhas?
Wait until Azdahaka’s spirit becomes weak, then secretly activate your own spirit and let Avesta copy it to heal Azdahaka?
The behavior in the original work highlights the idea that no matter who wants to cause trouble, I will die together with whoever does, and rebuild the sandbox.
The use of a deterrence strategy was not intended to prevent anyone from causing trouble, so there was naturally no need to clear the venue.
As for the possible casualties after Azdahaka breaks the seal…not many gods care.
If the people of the City of Brilliant Flame stay inside the outer gate, they can restrict Azdahaka’s actions. Azdahaka will not leave unless the city is completely destroyed.
If everyone was really withdrawn, Azdahaka would simply defeat the enemies around him and then flap his wings and run to other outer gates.
But if these people are kept, after the humans who are fighting against Azdahaka are injured or fail, they can choose to retreat to the second line… and recover while Azdahaka is destroying the City of Flame, and then have a second round of battle with Azdahaka after recovery.
If Triple-Digit took action himself, the City of Brilliant Flame would be destroyed very quickly, but the gods knew Azdahaka’s character very well. Azdahaka would only stand there and wait for the human heroes to attack him.
Azdahaka will let his clones destroy cities and humans who are not qualified to attack him.
There is also a community fighting against Azdahaka’s clone, making it impossible for Azdahaka’s clone to completely destroy the City of Brilliant Flame in a short period of time.
As time went by, the ordinary people of the City of Brilliant Flame became the limiter that prevented Azdahaka from leaving.
As long as the size of the community that is fighting against Azdahaka’s clone is controlled, so that Azdahaka himself has no interest in taking action – this process can be delayed for a long time.
While Azdahaka emphasizes the majesty and style of the Demon King, the gods have been hammered by the final trials of various humans and have been hammered on the head by the dystopian Demon King.
When facing the weak, these gods and Buddhas may still be arrogant, but when facing the final test of mankind, the gods and Buddhas have already put themselves in the right position.
I really can’t win head-on!
