Chapter 1139: The former Duke
Xu Cheng grabbed the Duke’s neck and roared,””I’m different from you. ”
“What’s different? Do you think I don’t understand your past? You also have nothing! Everything you have now, you fought for it yourself. In fact, you and I are no different! Did you not kill your clansmen? You killed the royal family like me, but you killed the ye family. You even made the world your enemy! Since that’s the case, why don’t you fulfill my wish?”
“I have love, but you don ‘t!” Xu Cheng interrupted him,”I have parents who love me! And you didn ‘t! I have friendship, but you don ‘t. Your world is full of betrayal and pity. The lack of love has distorted your personality. At least on this point, I’m different from you! I have my own pursuits, but you don ‘t! Even if you win, as you said, you are a God. Are you happy?”
The Duke was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion on his face.
Xu Cheng threw him down from the sky!
The Duke’s body even scratched the ground and his face was bloodied.
However, as he lay there, he suddenly laughed. His laughter was a little crazy.”What can we do? If you’re not strong, you can’t change the world at all. You should know how much hard work it takes for a grassroots to gain a foothold in this world. You’re living a life of reining in your horse at the edge of the cliff every day. Everyone wants to kill you. Tell me, if you’re not ruthless, how can you be independent? In this world where interests are tied, there will never be friends. Do you believe in friendship? It’s not my heart that’s being twisted, it’s the world!”
The Duke roared as he spoke. His eyes were bloodshot, showing how much he hated the world.
“Kinship, brothers killing each other, for power, anyone can be sacrificed. One wrong step, and you will become one of the bones in a million, tell me! If it were you, what would you do? You killed the four alien races, how many enemies you killed in the land of mercenaries? for your woman, you killed the Wei nation’s nobles, and for your grand ambition, you built your deviant Corp. Do you think you’re right? You don’t have the right to look down on me, because we are the same kind of people! But you won’t understand me at all, because as you said, you have parents who love you, a wife who loves you and is willing to die for you, and a group of brothers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you. But what about me? There was nothing! “When I had the power and the confidence to live a bright life, my most beloved girlfriend died in my hands one after another because of my blood poison gene. In the end, I was even afraid of falling in love with someone. In fact, I didn’t want to drink human blood in the first place. Do you think I want to be a demon? A witch doctor said that in order to get rid of the blood poison, I had to drink fresh blood, but I didn’t kill them! “I just want to be normal and be with the woman I love. You won’t understand how desperate those rumors and the stories of demons and vampires were to me. It was them who forced me to this day. It was their refusal to accept me that made me neither human nor ghost. I’m not wrong. I’m also a victim of the experiment, a young man who lived a muddleheaded life with the crime of an illegitimate child, but I’ve become the sacrifice for an Emperor to live forever!”
He was like a person who had lost everything. Even at this time, when he recalled the memories of the woman he loved, he seemed so lonely and helpless.
…
“Sometimes, I really envy you.” “You are a monster like me,” the Duke said.”But we have different fates. You have what I don’t have. I just want to have your power. If I really am God, can I save My Dead Girlfriend?” You asked me just now, even if I don’t die, will I be happy living? I’m telling you now, I’m not happy at all. For the past 200 years, every day has been a torture. The only reason I’m still alive is to save my girlfriend! She’s the most beautiful woman in the world, and no other woman can ever compare to her. ”
Xu Cheng looked at him.”When you were at your most difficult time, she was there for you, right?” he asked.
“It’s more than that,” The Duke shook his head and said,”even when I became a monster and everyone wanted to beat me up, she was by my side.” They met each other in the orphanage and were childhood sweethearts until she died …”
At this point, the Duke’s body trembled.”Do you know why I wanted to exterminate the imperial family? “Because I was the only witness to the royal family’s ugly actions. I escaped from the laboratory and was the only survivor. In order to kill me, the royal family forced me into a dead end. That day, I was forced to take my girlfriend to this Castle. We didn’t eat or drink for two days! There are people searching everywhere outside. My blood poison is acting up and I’m about to die. It’s my woman! It was her. When I was unconscious, she gave me her blood to drink and her flesh to satisfy my hunger!”
When the Duke said this, he burst into tears.
“I will never forget that day when I was unconscious and still had my memories. We were like two weeds. We couldn’t make any waves in this world, and our lives were already very difficult. My woman told me to stay strong and live to prove myself! It was then that I swore that I would change everything in my life! I overthrew the British royal family of the Empire of sun never sets, so that they will never have a chance to rise again! I want to make all those who have done evil to me pay the price!”
To be honest, Xu Cheng always felt that bad people wouldn’t be bad for no reason, because everyone was born equal, and only with certain things or certain environments would there be good and bad people. But sometimes, pretending to be a good person was far scarier than being a bad person.
At this time, he felt a little sympathy for the Duke, who had been proud and cold all his life, to reveal his most vulnerable side to him today.
He was right, they were the same kind of people.
If Xu Cheng’s role was switched with his, perhaps he would be even more ruthless than the Duke. At least, the royal family would no longer exist!
“He can’t be saved.” Xu Cheng suddenly said,”no matter how powerful the genetic cloning technology is, it can create an identical person. But, some lost memories can’t be stored and copied like a computer. That’s why people are unique.”
“How can I not know about this?” The Duke suddenly laughed bitterly.”I’ve seen more of the ugliness of human nature than you, but I can’t help but feel lucky. It’s like I’m the only one who succeeded in my experiments out of millions of people. It’s like you. You’re the only experimental subject I’ve had in the hundred years since I was born. I always choose to believe that my life is good.”
