As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

"Don't you find it scary or shameful to see my face like this?"

Finn looked quietly at the morning star in front of him.

He had seen too many looks of fear and disgust because of this appearance.

Even those eyes came more from the country to which he once dedicated himself.

The Holy Order's judgment on itself, and the shouts of people calling for its destruction...

But even so, Finn never felt that he had done anything wrong.

Because he is a scholar, and the meaning of a scholar's existence is to pursue the truth.

Even if the price of truth is sacrificing oneself.

What Finn regretted was that he dedicated this loyalty to the Holy Empire.

Does it really matter which god you believe in, what race you are, or what kind of face you present to others?

At least when he reached the deepest part of the abyss, Finn felt that nothing mattered anymore.

"Shameful! But what's shameful is not giving up everything for an ideal, what's shameful is...giving up everything but not getting the answer you want!"

Finn was obviously not expecting Morning Star's answer, and even the slowly raised skeleton arm froze in mid-air.

He had guessed the answer that Morning Star would give.

Either they are actively trying to win me over, or they are just like everyone else and look down on my behavior.

But at this moment, the man in front of him who was called a tyrant and would sooner or later bring about his own destruction in the eyes of the Holy Empire gave such an answer that no one had ever mentioned before.

What is shameful is not one's own behavior, but...

"Dragons have been defeated, gods have changed and altered, and even the rules of this world are not immutable. So, what's so shameful about you turning into a skeleton? The real point is... whether you have left anything in this world!"

Morning Star answered calmly, and every word made Finn fall into deep thought.

Is there anything left in this world...

"Just like what you pursue, in order to thirst for the unattainable truth, even if you finally touch it, who will remember that you did it? Has the truth you touched changed this dirty world?"

Morning Star said this, walking towards Finn step by step.

Even though the pile of white bones will make people feel fear subconsciously.

"What I seek is truth and knowledge..."

"But what if your pursuit only becomes a ladder for others to climb up? Everything you have done for the Holy Empire, everything you have done for the Divine King..."

Morning Star's question completely blocked Finn's answer.

Even if his pursuit was aimless, the changes these truths brought to the Holy Empire, and the things the God King gained by using his soul...

Even if he really accomplished everything in the end, would it be his name, Finn, that was left behind?

No! It can't be!

The one who can obtain all this can only be the Holy Empire, can only be... the God King!

Because this dirty world is just as it always has been.

"Can you guarantee that you won't do the same thing? As the king of the Kingdom of Grullit, are you any different from them?"

Even though Finn saw everything clearly, in his eyes, Morning Star was the same as these people.

To destroy the Abyss Warlock, to discuss cooperation with the Forest of Elves, and even to find this Immortal now, isn't it all for...

"What if I tell you that I can give you a brand new world? A world that can support you in pursuing everything you want!"

Chenxing finally revealed his ultimate goal.

But this answer only received a sneer from Finn.

Change? A new world?

The dragons of the past had never done it, and even a powerful nation like the Holy Church has never done it today. Even the so-called gods have never done it.

Everything is just a change of rulers, an unchanging change.

What is the difference between the Grullite Morning Star in front of him and the former one?

The pursuits of scholars will still become weapons of rulers, and ignorant people will still become victims.

Every person and every race still remains at the level of ignorance...

Finn knew better than anyone that simply changing rulers would never change this cycle.

"What if, I say, the secret of the abyss is not even the shadow of the truth, no...it is even extremely far away from the so-called truth..."

Morning Star was not panicked, as he had already guessed how Finn would refute him.

But for a time traveler like him, even if Finn is far ahead of the world in the pursuit of truth, he is still... a frog in the well.

Is the secret of the abyss the truth?

"What are you... talking about?"

Listening to Morning Star's words, Finn's tone changed noticeably.

The other party's words were undoubtedly trampling on everything that they, the scholars, were pursuing.

What scholars have been pursuing all their lives is worthless in the eyes of others?

Is the knowledge that only gods can master not the truth?

"I just want to remind you what the real truth is, what a scholar should pursue throughout his life!"

Morningstar said this, using Lilith's power to construct a magical sight that Finn had never seen before.

From the Big Bang to the formation of various planets, from the Milky Way to the solar system.

All the theories proved by Newton, Einstein and even Hawking were demonstrated one by one through the power of magic.

At this moment, Finn seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He stood there in shock, eager to engrave everything that Morning Star presented into his mind.

All of this, everything presented by the other party, undoubtedly completely overturned Finn's understanding of the world.

For the people in this world, they have always believed that gods created this world and established various rules.

And the end of the power of the abyss is definitely the secret of how God controls everything.

But everything that Morningstar presented now completely overturned Finn's long-standing understanding of the world.

What world revolves around the sun, what gravity is, what other worlds exist outside this world...

All this... all this...

Just when Finn was most excited, the whole scene came to an abrupt end.

"These are the truth, do you understand?"

Chenxing asked calmly.

Although there is magic in this world, and even life forms called gods, Morning Star has already noticed it.

Even magic, even those special races and even gods, still have to abide by the various rules set by nature.

Whether it is the sun or the stars in the sky, everything around actually reminds the Morning Star that the composition of this world is not much different from that of the Earth.

The galaxies still exist, and the universe still exists.

And all of this is undoubtedly the most tempting fruit for scholars like Fein!

"These...these...are they real? Can I really...have the opportunity to access this knowledge?"

After listening to Morning Star's words, Finn rarely lost his composure.

The tone, which had been calm until now, also showed obvious changes.

It's not just a wave, it's an infatuated obsession.

"I'm not sure if all of this is real, but at least this is all the knowledge that existed in my hometown. And precisely because I'm not sure, I need someone to... help me verify it all!"

Morning Star will naturally not drag on.

After all, there are still many differences between this world and Earth, but at the same time, there are also many similarities.

If Finn can really figure out something, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

"Confirm... confirm all this..."

Finn murmured, and even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

If these truths could be glimpsed, in the name of Finn...

"The choice is in your hands. I won't force you, nor will I demand that you do anything with your knowledge. I just want...what you saw in the abyss!"

Morning Star said this, took the drop of demon blood handed to him by Lilith, and stretched out his hand towards Finn.

It's just that Finn deserves to be called the most talented scholar in the history of the Holy Kingdom.

Even in the face of such temptation, he still retained some clarity.

"After all, you still want the power of the abyss."

Finn took a deep breath and slowly looked up at the morning star in front of him.

It seemed as if he wanted to capture the same expressions of those people who had appeared before him from the other person's eyes.

That look is called... greed.

But the color in Morning Star's eyes is different from greed.

It's like...

His exploration of the abyss was not just for the power that came from the abyss, but for more.

There are more purposes that even Finn can't see through.

"The power of the abyss? No, no, no, you underestimate me too much. The abyss is just a stepping stone for me!"

Chenxing smiled calmly.

Abyss magic is indeed useful in the original game, but only without mods.

With the help of mods, Abyss Magic is just a step.

A stepping stone to reach a higher level of power.

Abyssal magic? His mod list also includes celestial magic that can easily destroy an entire city, and creation magic that can affect the rules of the world.

It even goes beyond magic and involves a little bit of Cthulhu element's mysticism.

Compared with these, the magic of the abyss is nothing.

Even without magic, Morningstar still has technology mods.

I don’t have magic, but I can at least make a nuclear bomb, right?

Does anyone really think that abyss magic is stronger than firearms?

Times have changed, sir.

As for the Abyss Magic, what Morning Star wanted were the rules and theories contained therein, so as to prove whether this world was really not much different from the Earth.

If the so-called magic can be restored through some scientific methods, wouldn’t that be... a big profit!

"If that's the case, my advice to you is to not touch the abyss magic. The so-called abyss... may not be as simple as you think."

Finn gave some advice kindly.

Listening to the other party's tone, it was as if he had obtained some incredible truth from the abyss.

And it seems that even the Holy Empire is not aware of this truth!

"What if I must make contact?"

Chenxing frowned. The more this happened, the more he wanted to figure this out.

The description of Abyss Magic in the original work is also very mysterious, and it is more of a skill-like existence.

Even at the end, when the God of the Abyss completely perished, the truth about the Abyss Magic was never revealed.

The only person who knew the truth, Finn, also disappeared after the final battle and no one knew where he went.
