Chapter 1374 The Rabbit is Coming to Steal the Sun

In a dark place, Smoke Mirror held an obsidian mirror and looked at the city of Turan from afar through the mirror.

When Quetzalcoatl revealed himself before the humans and confessed his sins, she couldn't help but laugh and sighed sincerely.

“How terrible~”

What makes people afraid of Quetzalcoatl is never his power, but his heart. It is not that his heart is born flawless, but Quetzalcoatl makes his heart so clean.

His ego is so strong that he can do anything and do anything well for his own aesthetics and values.

Although he is not omniscient and omnipotent, he can act as if he is omniscient and omnipotent.

The underground gods cannot destroy Quetzalcoatl. Even Quetzalcoatl's confession of sins today is not due to the frame-up of the underground gods, but out of Quetzalcoatl's personal will. Even Quetzalcoatl's decision to step into the flames and burn himself would be Quetzalcoatl's own decision.

Any conspiracy placed on Quetzalcoatl will look like a self-entertaining spiritual victory in the end, saying that everything that Quetzalcoatl encountered was its own conspiracy, which will then attract the ridicule of others.

The only thing that can temporarily defeat Quetzalcoatl is a power that surpasses Quetzalcoatl.

The underground gods once wanted to unite and use absolute power to destroy the Fourth Sun Era. At that time, they longed for a true victory and wanted the Quetzalcoatl to be defeated by them. However, now that the gods are no longer glorious and the situation is out of control, they no longer care about so much. A spiritual victory is also a victory.

"It's your turn." Smoky Mirror murmured, stroking the obsidian mirror.

Blaze fell from the sky, wrapped in heavy black armor, and landed on the ground like a meteorite. He waved away the smoke and walked slowly towards him.

Just as people knew about Amaterasu, they also knew about Blaze and knew that Blaze was out looking for the Sun Clothes.

"He didn't get the Sun Robe, and there is still no sun in this world. We still need a Sun God to be born." Zuo Fengniao said calmly, as if he had expected it.

"Yeah, I didn't find it." Blaze dusted off his armor and walked a few steps to the bottom of the quadrilateral pyramid. Instead of going up, he just raised his head and looked at the Quetzalcoatl at the bottom.

Quetzalcoatl slowly turned around and looked at Blaze.

"You are here. I knew you would come. How could you be absent?" Quetzalcoatl untied his hood and looked down at Blaze with his arms outstretched. "You are here to stop the ceremony. What reason do you have to stop it?"

"Have you found a sacrifice that can replace the sun? Will this world no longer need sacrifices in the future? I can repent in other ways!"

"I still believe that the humans here have the choice to leave. Sacrificing and repenting is just my self-satisfaction!"

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Smoke Mirror's forehead. She felt something was wrong. Quetzalcoatl had become so psychopathic that he had calculated and simulated what Blaze might say when trying to stop him.

According to Quetzalcoatl's behavioral logic, he would not hesitate once he made a decision. The fact that he is still standing here only means that the result after computational simulation is still a rejection.

Then the moral blackmail plan will be useless.

Amaterasu's idea is completely opposite to that of the smoke mirror. She believes that Quetzalcoatl is equivalent to giving Blaze a judgment question. Whether it is a check mark or a cross, it is the correct answer. Blaze just needs to choose one at random.

Blaze raised his hand and pointed at Amaterasu.

"I'm here to take her away. I don't want her to leave me."

"Aha!?"

Be it the Smoky Mirror, the Quetzalcoatl, or even Amaterasu, they all showed surprised expressions.

For Amaterasu, Blaze drew a middle finger as the answer to the question given by Quetzalcoatl, where either a check mark or a cross was the correct answer.

As for Smoky Mirror, Blaze was a blatant betrayal and didn't say a word of what he promised to say.

Although the two were not in the same place and were not thinking the same thing, they both guessed that Quetzalcoatl was angry. "What did you say!?"

In the brief moment of stunnedness, Quetzalcoatl became furious and the strong wind blew his hair.

This is not surprising. After Quetzalcoatl knew about the separation of Blaze and Amaterasu, he imagined a lot of things in his mind, such as how he had to give up for the sake of the sacrifice of all living beings in the world, and how he left on his own initiative because he knew that the other party would be distressed by it.

Amaterasu's feelings are beautiful. If Blaze works hard to achieve a better result for this feeling and create a world where everyone is happy, it will be perfect and flawless beauty, and he will sing praises for it.

But Blaze came back and wanted to take Amaterasu away without saying a word, tarnishing her beauty.

"It's so ugly! Blaze!"

"There's nothing we can do!!!" Blaze responded loudly to Quetzalcoatl's angry shout.

"This is what I really think. I don't need those high-sounding words to cover it up! And you, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, what do you really think!"

The answer you are looking for is not important; what is important is the real reason for embarking on this journey to find the answer.

He struggled with how to help the world, how to end the sacrifice, how to pull Quetzalcoatl out of the darkness, but these answers were not what motivated him to search.

His only reason was [he didn't want Amaterasu to leave].

Admit it, this is what he thinks in his heart, it's so simple and selfish.

The provocation of the smoke mirror tore off the layers of fig leaf he had used to cover himself.

He didn't know when his insistence on doing the right thing became his face, his inner constraints, and his face, which then turned into distortion and erasure.

He began to stop thinking about anything other than this, as if he was just an executor.

This won’t do. If you can’t even hear your own inner voice and don’t even acknowledge your own true thoughts, then are you still yourself?
If you are not yourself, what else can you do?

In the end, it will only seem like you are doing the right thing, but you are walking on a path that no one wants to see.

Perhaps it is the same for Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl requires itself to do only the right things and say only the right words. The true voice in its heart is covered up under layers of "correctness".

So no matter what you say to him, it will be useless, so Quetzalcoatl has to convince himself.

“At the end of the day I’m good at it.”

Use your fists to fiercely smash open the layers of correctness in Quetzalcoatl's heart, ask him what he really thinks, and then drag this guy out.

When he succeeds and Quetzalcoatl is willing to live, he will tell Quetzalcoatl about the candle and how it can arrange for the humans in the first layer of the ground world to live on the ground.

You have to listen to and acknowledge the voice of your heart, but this will not affect doing the right thing at all. If you don't know your own heart, you will not know how to become better.

Blaze removed [Armor·Life], revealing a white rabbit headdress with rabbit ears swaying.

Facing the furious Quetzalcoatl, Blaze waved at it provocatively.

"Be careful, the rabbit is coming to steal the sun!"

The crime of stealing the sun is just beginning.
