The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Are you aware of what happened before?"

He craved an answer, and the stargazer did not hide anything, replying directly:

"I know."

Ning Feng was not much surprised by the answer.

There are only two possibilities: knowing or not knowing.

According to Ning Feng's understanding, the Watchers might be completely unaware.

The Watchers' performance this time was almost perfect, but in Ning Feng's mind it was not enough.

This incident shouldn't have happened like this.

The Watchers, who monitor every corner of the world, are capable of far more than what they are currently capable of.

It's good enough, but not enough!

If Overwatch's goal is truly to protect the entire world, then this performance is extremely disappointing.

Ning Feng didn't believe there was no reason behind this; he came to see the stargazer to ask for an answer.

So……

"why?"

The stargazers fell silent, seemingly pondering how to answer the question.

But before the stargazer could give an answer, Ning Feng took a deep breath and slowly asked:

"Their...the deaths of those people."

The next question, once asked, will change everything.

In order not to become that kind of cold, godlike person, so...

Sometimes, people do some irrational things.

No?

Ning Feng finally made a decision, staring intently at the stargazer, who met his gaze.

Gazing into those light-colored eyes, Ning Feng asked the question that had been buried deep in his heart with difficulty.

"Is it... what is meant by a 'necessary sacrifice'?"

Chapter 354 Questioning

In any world, whether in myths and legends or in terms of real power, there are always similar descriptions.

The death of some people becomes the turning point of something.

Their deaths served as the fuse.

Whether it's to incite someone's fighting spirit or to push forward a turning point, it seems that in these matters, there are always some innocent people who become victims.

They either died helplessly or were abandoned after losing their usefulness.

In many cases, people outside of this matter can view it indifferently, at most offering only sympathy.

Since the blood didn't fall on their heads and didn't flow from their bodies, they didn't care.

In later writings, people often use a god-like perspective to give meaning to their deaths.

Necessary sacrifices

They truly made sacrifices, and they also guided towards a better future and direction.

Their sacrifices seem essential and indispensable.

But is this really fair?

Every grain of dust in the era becomes a mountain on anyone's head.

The few lines in history books may represent the blood and suffering of countless people behind the pale ink.

Ning Feng could foresee what the future would hold.

The demon lord launched a surprise attack on four cities, including Fencheng, causing numerous civilian casualties. This event will further exacerbate the deteriorating relationship between humans and supernatural beings.

That's how the sacrifices of those people in Fencheng are sent to various places as short messages like this.

It won't even be long; after a while, no more than two months, people will forget about it.

Humans have always been such forgetful creatures.

But we mustn't forget.

That's hundreds of thousands, even millions of lives!

How could it be forgotten so easily?

Ning Feng wanted to know, since the stargazers knew this would happen, why did it still happen?

Now that they know what will happen, what does their death really mean?

Ning Feng didn't know if the Stargazer had any deeper plans, and his current status wasn't high enough to participate in such a scheme...

Perhaps his identity is somewhat special, but he is not qualified at the moment.

He understood all of this; rationally, Ning Feng could fully comprehend it.

But he still wanted to ask.

why?

Were their deaths necessary?

Can it be erased so easily?

He didn't come for himself; he came to face the stargazers, simply to ask a question on their behalf.

【why? 】

Ning Feng had wanted to ask this question ever since he saw the tragic state of Fencheng.

At that time, Ning Feng had two options.

It's absolutely safe to go to the City of Watchers, a floating city, and ask the Stargazer for help so she can take action herself.

Even offering one's own body as a vessel for divine intervention is acceptable.

If Ning Feng chooses this option, his life will be in absolutely no danger; he will only need to use his mouth throughout the entire process.

The other one, however, is fraught with crisis.

He himself descended into the abyss, taking the power of Ariana and Cecilia to personally seek justice for them.

This choice is incredibly dangerous; one wrong move could lead to his demise, rendering all his efforts futile.

But in the end, Ning Feng made his own choice and went to the abyss alone.

This may be a true reflection of his inner self.

Ning Feng preferred to believe in angels and demons who would unconditionally help him rather than unfamiliar stargazers.

Even if their identities are actually those of extraordinary beings, while the stargazer is just a human being like him.

After asking the question directly, the atmosphere in the space gradually changed.

The stargazer's eyes remained completely still, showing not even the slightest hint of surprise.

"........."

After a moment of silence, she simply raised her hand and pointed to a seat not far from her, gesturing for Ning Feng to sit down.

Ning Feng remained silent, but in the end he simply walked to the seat without sitting down.

The Stargazer glanced at Ning Feng's actions but said nothing, lowering his hand and speaking:

"...Is this your choice?"

Then, she spoke calmly, answering Ning Feng's and the hundreds of thousands of people's questions.

Beneath the dim starry sky, the stargazer calmly raises his head.

she says:

"...I wouldn't say it was a necessary sacrifice."

call……

It wasn't until then, when Ning Feng unconsciously exhaled slightly from his throat, that he suddenly realized he was actually very nervous and had been unconsciously holding his breath.

Asking your own questions is essentially a form of questioning.

Although he had a certain degree of confidence and assurance, when Ning Feng actually faced the Stargazer and treated her as a hypothetical enemy, he realized just how terrifying this was.

She may be the most powerful being in the world right now.

It can be said that if the gods do not revive, the stargazer is the most powerful weapon in the world.

As long as there are stargazers, supernatural beings will not have an advantage in the highest level of power.

Ning Feng pulled out a chair and sat down quietly.

As long as he received this answer, even if it was just a verbal one, he already understood the stargazer's attitude.

They will not be enemies, nor will they be complete strangers.

In that case, we now await the stargazer's further explanation.

Sure enough, after Ning Feng sat down, the stargazer continued:

“If possible, no sacrifice is allowed.”

"No matter the reason, death will never change its nature; what is gone is gone."

She tilted her head, looked at Ning Feng, and spoke softly:

"I did know about this incident beforehand, but for some reason, I was unable to pass on the news to others immediately."

"This was a mistake by the entire Overwatch team, and it was my mistake as well."
