Durin's Diary

Chapter 744 Mine
Why do you despise God?

After the old and sick Nameless left, Daju asked this question.

Yes, as far as gods are concerned, the real gods are obviously much more useful than those gods created by literature and art in my timeline. Look at the Nameless One and the Twin Mothers, they are both truly good gods, and their church believers are mostly kind people. Although mortal bishops may have conflicts with you, they are ultimately trying to protect their homeland, right?

Eleven also couldn't understand why Durin hated the gods.

In my timeline, the gods have long since departed, becoming mere legends. Humans claim to believe in gods, but they have long lost their reverence for them. In their eyes, loyalty to gods is not as reliable as personal gain.

In order to fight against them, the children of the tower have long stopped fearing the gods. The gods cannot give people a way to survive, but the power swords in our hands, our automatic guns, our power armor... can bring dignity to all living beings on this earth.

Having said that, Du Lin took a puff of his cigarette on top of the ruins, and then he flew into the sky.

The further west he went, the more devastated the world became. Flying over the Caspian Sea, at the location that originally belonged to the Eternal Fortress, Durin saw a strait, huge city ruins, a desolate world, and occasional settlements where he could see the tragic scenes of cannibalism before he even got close - this meant that civilization had been destroyed.

Going north, the cities have all become wastelands.

There were no beastmen or grassland elves. Wherever he went, Durin saw only humans.

This should be Earth, or Earth in another timeline.

The Eastern country where Du Lin lived in his first life was called Tainan. In this world, it was a republic, and the one in the third ecosystem was called Changtang.

Or we can say that in each timeline, the people on this land are different, but the civilization is the same.

The existence in our bones is connected.

But along the way, all I saw was destruction.

Du Lin was unwilling to give up and continued to fly westward until he saw North America the next morning.

Here, Dulin saw endless ruins.

Moreover, Du Lin also saw "missiles" falling from the sky from time to time, exploding into huge mushroom clouds on the ruins.

Don’t go there. The radiation there is too much for you to bear.

Daju warned.

And Eleven analyzed the situation in low Earth orbit.

There are huge automated factories, I suspect, the Republic's automated factories that are still carrying out planned bombings due to lack of new orders after the nuclear war ended and the world was destroyed.

Du Lin finally sighed, "I'm beginning to understand why that anonymous person was determined to save this world. Those who started the war are probably long dead, but those who survived are indeed worth saving. Those children born after the apocalypse, those who haven't experienced this, shouldn't be bullied. Someone really needs to rescue them."

Cannibals have forgotten their civilized past. Such lives must be exterminated.

Robbers push other lives into despair for the sake of a tiny bit of profit. Such lives must be slaughtered.

Their existence only pollutes the minds of all beings and wastes food.

They don't deserve it.

Du Lin would only crush their necks with his hands, because even hanging them would be a waste of rope. However, it was not Du Lin's turn to rule this world. Du Lin believed that the nameless person would take care of everything.

Thinking of this, Du Lin opened the transmission channel.

………………

When we returned to Alkin Mansion, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

The girls were already used to Durin's sudden departure and reappearance, but the old duke was accustomed to it. So when Durin began to clean himself, they were curious as to why he burned all the clothes he wore back.

"Do you know about the cursed weapons of the green orcs?" Du Lin asked as he changed into new clothes.

"Yes, people who are injured will be cursed. I even saw it with my own eyes. When I was a child, when my grandfather was still alive, a baron from nearby injured his arm. Eventually, his entire body swelled up as if cursed. It was terrifying."

"I just returned from a plane where weapons of mass destruction made from cursed weapon materials destroyed the entire world." Du Lin replied.

Duke Alkin's expression lost control. He exclaimed, "A plane where weapons of mass destruction made from cursed materials destroy the entire world? Oh my God, you're not lying to me."

"My lord, Lord Durin truly did not lie." The observing wizard of the Alkin family looked at the old duke in horror. "I can sense that Lord Durin has just traveled through time and space. He is indeed covered in the dust of destruction."

This answer made Duke Alkin frown. "Why would you think of going to such a dangerous place, silly boy? What happened? I heard you went out at midnight yesterday."

"I went to see another anonymous person because I wanted to know about their ideals and beliefs, and why they became anonymous." At this point, a fire swept away all the ashes, and then he walked up to Duke Alkin and said, "This is my secret, please don't tell anyone."

"No problem." Duke Alkin nodded, then he looked at the domestic wizard beside him.

The latter lowered his head and touched his chest: "I swear to the God of Magic that what happened today will never be heard by anyone other than you and me."

Du Lin nodded. "By the way, is there anything you want to gain? Since you have made such a great vow, I should show some appreciation."

Since it was a wish, Duke Alkin smiled and left first.

"...No need, Your Excellency. You liberated my hometown. I am Swiss, and you have ensured that my family members have enough food and clothing, and have their own land and cottage. This has allowed me to concentrate on serving Your Excellency the Duke, and has given me enough time to prepare for my next promotion. I should be grateful to you, Your Excellency."

The middle-aged wizard said this and bowed to Du Lin: "I would like to ask you a question."

"Ask whatever question you have, as long as I can answer it." Du Lin asked curiously.

"You've helped children, protecting them from human traffickers; you've saved innocent people from harm by evildoers. You've helped so many others, even Sidney's orphans. I want to know, Your Excellency Durin, are you willing to help all the lives in this world that have been exploited and harmed by the greed of the royal power and nobles, and what you call capital? Help every life, so that they can live like human beings."

Finally, the middle-aged man knelt on one knee before Durin and said, "Sir, it's not that I'm ungrateful. The Duke has been very kind to me, but those kings and nobles are not as good as the Duke. So, if you are willing to lead us in resisting this doomsday, I am willing to follow you. I offer you my life. I only wish that every living being could live like a human being, not an exploited slave."

Du Lin took a deep breath. Without thinking, he reached out and pulled the middle-aged man up: "I will lead all like-minded people to create a new future."

Have I established my own ideals and beliefs?

Yeah.
