Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Lanlan

"Konrad Coz...so alike, so very alike."

Kasa stared at the nervous Koz and subconsciously nodded slightly. So alike, so very alike.

Although he was an orphan and his parents didn't die in the alley, he has no fear of bats and therefore doesn't wear bat armor, and because the evil on Nostramore is worse than in Gotham, he doesn't have a vow of non-killing.

No matter how you look at it, Kurtz is very similar to Wayne, the Batman, giving people a deep connection. You could say that Kurtz is the Warhammer version of the space Batman.

However, because he grew up alone from the bottom, Coz was far inferior to Wayne in terms of knowledge and class morality.

"Like what?" Conrad Coz asked coldly, before the passive prophecy was triggered, he didn't hesitate to speculate about the other party with the greatest malice. "Am I like those predecessors who dared to rebel against the nobles, but were killed by you?"

“You’re a lot like a friend of mine, Koz. I’m not your enemy either. Sit down and let’s have a good talk.”

Kassa extended the invitation, but remained unmoved by the gruesome corpse of the mob godfather on the ground, a body that bore a striking resemblance to Oswald the Penguin.

Because Conrad Coates has reached the pinnacle of his youth, and now that he is over sixteen, he has the qualifications to be independent, both from the perspective of the original genotype and from the perspective of a normal human.

He was qualified to kill, especially to kill a great villain like Oswald.

While Kassa wouldn't be so cruel, he wouldn't prevent Batmen like Kurtz or Wayne from being ruthless. After all, it's an internal racial conflict, and the deceased truly deserved their fate.

"What do you want to talk about?" Conrad Coz bowed cautiously. He had never seen this scene in the prophecy, nor had he ever seen this man before.

Kassa asked, "I want to ask you, why don't you swear an oath not to kill? Aren't you afraid of falling into depravity?"

"That's it?"

Conrad Koz paused for a moment, then sneered, "If you don't even have the courage to become a demon yourself, how can you possibly fight against these demons? Aren't I afraid of falling... What a joke! If I'm going to become a midnight ghost, then I've already fallen long ago!"

"Their demons are demons, and so am I. The only difference is that their judgment is mine, and it is now, while my judgment has not yet come!"

Koz is still a simple person; he answers every question.

Kassa nodded; he understood Koz's idea.

Wayne believed that he was the embodiment of fear in Gotham and its guardian, so he could not fall into depravity. In order to avoid falling, he had to ensure that he did not kill. Only by not killing could he continue to protect Gotham and have that right.

And what did Koz think?

Koz never intended to remain the guardian of Nostramore forever. Rather than being a guardian, he wanted to exterminate all demons, and to do so, he had to become a demon himself.

He didn't feel innocent just because the people he killed deserved it; on the contrary, his moral compass might be even more fastidious than Wayne's in some respects.

In Coz's view, even if the people he killed were all deserving of their punishment, as long as he had killed people, he had become a demon, and perhaps one day he would be judged.

However, before he dies, he must kill all the demons, that's all. Even if he dies, he must kill all the demons and all the evil people before he dies.

Kassa understood why he was so convinced that Wayne and Coz were the same person.

Although one of them chose to swear an oath not to kill and the other chose to become a demon, their thoughts were consistent on many levels.

Fortunately, compared to Bruce, who swore an oath not to kill, Koz's stubbornness was clearly less pronounced.

Kassa sighed, "If Bruce Wayne were here, he would have a lot to talk about with you."

"You're one of Wayne's men?!" Koz's pupils constricted sharply!

“Not that Wayne.” Kassa shook his head slightly. On this planet, the most evil and largest noble surname was Wayne. What kind of hellish joke was that?

But Coz, like a cat reacting to its breath, charged forward the moment he heard Wayne's name, determined to kill Kassadin first.

Kasa didn't even use any Ultra power. Relying solely on his battle-hardened skills and experience, he simply shifted his body, dodging Koz's weapon with a left-hand strike, and even took the time to pat the young Koz on the head with his right hand.

Although Koz was tall thanks to the Primarch's talents, his poor health, due to malnutrition and lack of sunlight, made him pitiful to Kassadin.

Conrad Coz stared at Kassa in horror, his heart churning like a raging storm. He knew there was a gap between them, but he never expected to be killed in a single blow.

"You win." Conrad Coz closed his eyes, resignedly awaiting his death. He would have fought back if there had been even the slightest chance of winning, but unfortunately there wasn't.

“I’m not here to kill you, Koz, I’m here to help you.”

Kasa thought for a moment, then took out a small snack. It was a specialty that Peturabo had given him on Planet Olympia. It was very nutritious and perfect for the malnourished Koz. "Have something to eat first. It's delicious. It's a specialty that your brother gave me."

Since he took Peturabo away from the mountaintop, according to the original history

Peturab was allowed to meet his original adoptive father's family—although his adoptive father was a tyrant, his children were all good people and would bring Peturab more love.

As for that tyrant, he can no longer drive Perturabo to wage wars of aggression as he has in history. Kasa has already told Perturabo that he should learn to refuse things he dislikes and not use war to invade.

With Peturabo's abilities, he could have easily conquered various countries with his unparalleled artistic talent, achieving consensus on art and culture, and thus peacefully unifying the entire Olympic Games.

After spending some time with Peturabo, Kassapa came to this sinful planet, even more sinful than Gotham.

"My brother?" Conrad Coz opened his eyes, utterly bewildered.

He did indeed have a prophecy, knowing that he had a father and brothers, but his father didn't seem to be this one, did he? Would his troublesome and eccentric brothers really give gifts to someone other than their father?

"You want to change the world, don't you, Kurtz?"

"...That's right."

Seeing that Kassa truly harbored no hostility, Conrad Coz gradually became more willing to communicate.

"So what are you planning to do?"

As Kasa asked the questions, he gestured for Koz to accept the Olympic specialties.

Conrad Coates was somewhat at a loss for words to describe his feelings. Born into this world, he was cautious by nature and would not accept any gift from anyone unless it was something that had been proven in a prophecy.

But now, for the first time, he accepted something from someone else without triggering a prophecy, and actually ate it.

……tasty.

The local specialty does taste pretty good.

However, it is this sincere heart—the heart that feels he lacks nutrition, that cares for him, that is without hostility or malice, that is full of love even after he has been maliciously misjudged and attacked by him—that is the key to making the local specialty taste the best.

Throughout his life, he had never received such unconditional kindness.

Even in the prophesied future, his nominal father is nothing more than a tyrant who sees him as a tool, and his brothers are all at odds with him.

Conrad Coz had not originally intended to answer the question.

Would his plans change just because of a few words from others?

but.

After finishing the food, Conrad Coates suddenly felt that people should be grateful and repay kindness.

"I will use the identity of a midnight ghost to intimidate and deter all criminals from acting so recklessly. I will even use the power of fear to make them never dare to do evil again!"

Conrad Coates loudly proclaimed, "I will also assassinate those high-ranking nobles, kill those foolish and evil noble grandfathers, and then I will become the supreme ruler of this world, promulgate laws against all evil and crimes, and completely eradicate crimes and criminals from this world!"

As he spoke, he looked intently at Kasa.

He has never acted for the sake of so-called glory or people's approval, but now, for the first time, he has a desire for recognition.

"That's a very good approach."

Kassa nodded, and Conrad Coz was secretly pleased, but before he could show it on his face, Kassa's next sentence came through: "But it's not enough."

"Not enough?" Conrad Coz murmured.

“Yes, it’s not enough.” Kasa looked at the bewildered Koz.

Because he lacked education from a young age, Coz was severely lacking in knowledge, so he only knew how to be fearful. Even when he later had the opportunity to read many books and learn a lot of knowledge, his behavior was already deeply ingrained and difficult to change because he had grown up.

But now he wants to tell Coz that fear alone cannot fundamentally change anything.

"Human nature is inherently good, and human nature is also inherently evil. Every life has infinite possibilities from the moment it is born. It may turn towards good or towards evil. Although there are many factors that influence these tendencies, the four most crucial factors are."

"One is survival, the other is education; one is a ruler, the other is a role model."

"If even basic survival cannot be guaranteed, then no matter how restricted people are, they will always be forced to commit crimes in order to make a living. So if we want to eliminate crime, the most important thing is to increase food production and fair food distribution so that everyone can have food and clothing security."

"The second is education. If a person is educated to justify evil, he is likely to fall into that abyss. Good education is very important. This good education is not just about promoting truth, goodness and beauty, but about acknowledging the existence of evil, but denying the rationality and sophistry of evil, and affirming those positive and beautiful virtues."

"Thirdly, there are the rulers. Take the judiciary, which is part of the rulers, as an example. If a country's judiciary cannot reward good deeds and punish evil deeds, then even if it does not have that subjective intention, it is objectively encouraging evil and denying positive actions."

"Suppose a country experiences a large number of false accusations, but the country's rulers and judicial organs, for various reasons, allow many of these false accusations to succeed, and even if the false accusations fail, the accusers are not punished."

If punishment is imposed…

"So, the rulers and judicial organs of this country are actually encouraging everyone to make false accusations, and encouraging the start of an era of mass false accusations."

At this point, Casarte paused for a moment.

That is why the Land of Light must eliminate those invaders. If the Land of Light lets the invaders go, it is essentially encouraging all civilizations in the universe to participate in the invasion.

[Doing this is very profitable, and even if it is discovered, there will be no punishment.] If such a situation exists, who would still hate evil and stay away from it, and yearn for justice and fairness?

"And the fourth is role models."

Kasa looked at Koz. The role model aspect was self-evident. Although Koz was illiterate, he understood the power of role models. On this sinful planet called Nostramo, there were indeed some worshippers and imitators of the Midnight Ghosts.

Just like those people in Gotham who imitated Batman.

However, in this respect, Kasa had to admit that Bruce Wayne, as Batman, was a better role model. (The fastest updates for the new completed novel can be found on this website.)

Although he preferred Koz's approach, the oath of non-killing was actually limited in its deterrent effect on those extremely evil individuals, and it could not provide a permanent solution like Koz's.

However, if people follow the example of Coz, it is easy for them to go astray and go to extremes, because Coz's methods are really too cruel, and it is easy for imitators to go to the absurd point of being cruel to everything.

Bruce Wayne, the Batman imitator, is much more measured in this regard.

Conrad Coz looked at Kassa, remaining silent for a long time as he absorbed the knowledge Kassa was giving him like a sponge. He suddenly realized that he understood what he should do even better than before.

It's not just about fear; you can't rule the world with fear alone. If it were just about fear, perhaps people would even reduce the crime rate to zero while he was around because they were afraid of this midnight ghost.

But once he leaves this place with his tyrannical father, perhaps evil will soon breed again in this world, and the dead will rise from the ashes.

We must address this from four angles to prevent the world from falling back into the clutches of evil. Tianxi

Conrad Coz looked at Casar and could sense that this man had countless successful experiences, which were teaching him real things, and these real things were also feasible.

As for his fear, it is of course contained within the concept of "rulers," where good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished; this is the manifestation of fear.

"So."

Conrad Coates calmly asked, "Will you be my role model?"

“I hope I can,” Kasa replied softly but solemnly. “There’s still some time, so let me try to be your role model, okay?”

Conrad Coates immediately understood: "You're going to help me... no, you're going to liberate this world, in your own way?"

"Even if you want me to intervene, I will force myself to do it, Koz, please forgive me." How could an Ultra Warrior bear the sins of a planet on the shoulders of a boy? Even if this boy has begun to enter adolescence, in the eyes of the Ultra Warrior, he is still someone who should be protected, isn't he?
