Chapter 617 The Torn Moral Essence
Mocania's expression didn't change much after hearing the Queen of Hearts' words.
He didn't think he had anything wrong with himself.
He created this world.
He is the origin of all life.
Therefore, according to his understanding, these lives should meet his requirements.
For example, it meets his moral requirements.
For example, following his instructions, one could fight against evil.
As for what will happen to these people after the world is destroyed, that's not something he needs to consider.
In essence, this world is a fictional space with extremely virtual characteristics.
In essence, just like the abyss, the souls of these beings are also virtual constructs, and their interiors are broken.
Aren't these people satisfied with living their whole lives in this world?
Therefore, living peacefully according to his moral laws for generations, and then stepping onto the battlefield to participate in the war in another world, is the way to repay his kindness in creating us.
After that, they were even.
This is the right path for the world.
Otherwise, would these people need his help to leave this world and go to the real world?
Furthermore, the people of this world today have developed to the point where they no longer follow his morals and laws, causing him countless troubles.
In this situation, it's impossible for him to let these people understand these things.
After all, the more you know, the more fear you'll feel.
Therefore, these people should not know these things and should focus on fulfilling their proper missions.
Mocania has a clear conscience.
At this moment, the shepherds and their companions naturally couldn't possibly believe the Queen of Hearts based on just a few words from Hearts.
White Peach trusts Red Peach, but she doesn't care about these things, and instead becomes increasingly crazy because of it.
She knew her sister well; there was absolutely no way she could have broken down and wanted to destroy the world because of this information.
Therefore, Hearts must have found a way to leave this world from people in another world.
If that's really the case, then she wouldn't even be able to die with her sister, which would be too cruel for her.
"So, sister, die!!!" Bai Tao launched a ferocious and resolute attack.
Countless strands of hair spread out, like the greed within her heart.
She greedily wanted to keep her sister with her.
The shepherd seized the opportunity and rushed toward the heart.
At this moment, whatever Red Hearts' purpose may be, her appearance reveals a great deal.
It's highly likely that the framing of the beast was orchestrated by the Hearts.
Therefore, he must avenge the beast.
Kill this monster who can even kill his own daughter!
The fundamental conflict of ideas made this battle inevitable.
Upon seeing this, the eldest princess immediately put on the Golden Fleece coat.
Then they acted quietly, preparing to seize the opportunity.
Faced with these attacks, the Queen of Hearts smiled calmly, then waved her hand, and a large number of playing cards flew out of her hand.
These playing cards quickly transformed into human figures after they appeared.
Then, one by one, brave warriors appeared in front of the Hearts, blocking the Whites and the Shepherd.
"You can kill these heroes as you please, it doesn't matter to me."
"That god Nia might be heartbroken because of this, these are all his soldiers," Red Heart said with a smile, her words full of mockery towards Mocania.
"Be careful, try not to kill these heroes," Mocania could only say at this moment.
Although none of these heroes are particularly strong individually, their large numbers make them the backbone of this world's fighting force.
If these heroes suffer heavy casualties, then his world's combat power will likely collapse by more than half in the future.
The shepherd remained silent, simply using his physical advantages to meet the attacks of these puppet warriors.
White Peach, on the other side, didn't care about any of that.
Her hair became her sharpest and most agile weapon.
Any hero who gets close to her will be swiftly sliced in half by her hair.
Even after being cut open, these warriors still moved their limbs like puppets, rushing towards Shirato.
This level of control is enough to make these people fight for her even at the cost of their lives.
Upon seeing this, Mocania, who was in the distance, couldn't help but frown.
The Heart of Hearts is too evil.
Since coming into contact with the villain, I have become completely indifferent to life.
Although she was morally corrupt and killed her own daughter, at least she did so after struggling and hesitating.
However, after coming into contact with the dwarfs, beings created by Nemus, he now has no hesitation in destroying the world himself, and no longer feels any pity for these beings.
"How could you be so cruel?" Mocania couldn't help but ask.
"How could you treat your own kind like this?"
“Nania, do you not have any mercy either?” After hearing Mocania’s question, Heart did not answer the question, but instead asked in return, “You created us for the purpose of making us fight, and then watched us perish.”
You are more cruel than me!
“We are different,” Mocania said directly in response to Hearts’ words.
"We are not on the same level of life."
“You are virtual individuals, low-level life forms.”
“If the levels are not equal, I don’t need to take any responsibility for you.”
"My morality corresponds to real people in the real world. My essence, my life, my righteousness, and my right path all come from the true God of the real world."
“So I’m not cruel,” Mocania said matter-of-factly.
"I would never harm a life of the same level."
"Hahahaha!!!" Upon hearing Mocania's words, Hearts suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
The shepherd, who was preparing to kill the heart, couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling despair.
Although he knew that Nia was unreliable, he did not expect her to be this unreliable.
At this moment, he finally understood why morality and law could be so flawed by the issue of identity and morality.
The Queen of Hearts is right, because Mocania's moral theory is fundamentally flawed.
He instinctively placed God on another level, a class that does not participate in the moral interactions of the lower classes.
He does not acknowledge their lives, nor does he consider their thoughts to represent 'personhood' or be equal to them.
That's why he acted so contradictoryly.
On the one hand, he can be morally blackmailed by the people of this world because he has always cared about himself.
He himself was unwilling to make a choice, which led to losses.
This would make him think it was his own fault, and that it involved his own morality.
Therefore, he can be morally blackmailed.
Once it doesn't involve him personally, he can sit there and do nothing, watching the world get worse.
In his view, this decline was a choice made by the lower classes themselves, and had nothing to do with him.
The person's entire moral compass is completely torn apart.
Therefore, the moral and legal system of this world naturally includes a morality based on identity.
The aristocracy emerged as a group whose morality was torn apart by class.
Chapter 618 An Opportunity
This inherent rift makes Mocania seem quite eccentric.
On the one hand, he has a high moral standard and is able to see many moral problems and pay attention to them.
On the one hand, it seems to have transcended moral concepts and is subject to certain restrictions.
“There’s something wrong with Mocania,” the shepherd quickly concluded.
A normal person would not have such conflicting views.
If Mocania were of noble birth who upheld the morality of status, then he wouldn't have had so many relevant moral foundations when constructing his moral code.
However, while Mocania is inherently kind, deep down he strongly advocates for a set of moral codes and social norms.
"The real world, God!" The shepherd essentially grasped these two key words.
“You’re right.” Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in the shepherd’s mind, startling him.
However, the shepherd's mental fortitude had improved considerably over this period. As he made his way through the crowd of heroes toward the Hearts, he mentally typed a question mark.
"?"
"Don't be surprised, I am indeed the mind image of the Lilliputians, and it was I who pushed you out of the mountain village." The Lilliputian who had been lurking in the shepherd's heart stepped forward at this moment.
The shepherd suppressed his surprise and waited for the little man to continue, while also looking for an opportunity to remove this little spy from his body.
“My bond with you is extremely deep, so you don’t need to think about eliminating me for now.” However, the voice of the dwarf race came afterward.
"Furthermore, I am merely passing on some information for you to consider."
Before the shepherd could refuse, the little man spoke up: "The fairy tale world you live in, and the garden world we live in, are both the foundations built by Lord Nemes using fictional spaces."
"And in this process, the fictional space will eventually dissipate."
“Unlike your Nia god, Lord Nems has left us a way out.”
"Man must save himself, not rely on God for salvation."
"As long as our spirit and will can be elevated, we can enter the virtual soul, obtain a real body in the real world, and truly live!"
"This is the path you're willing to take!" the little man said.
The shepherd's expression remained unchanged. After a moment of silence, he said, "Aren't we truly alive now?"
Upon hearing this, the villain stopped all the prepared remarks.
“We are real and true. Our bodies and our souls may be fictional, but our thoughts are not!” the shepherd said earnestly.
"Those ordinary people living in this world are not fake either."
"The world will be destroyed decades from now, but that's decades from now."
"These decades represent the lifetimes of countless people who lived on this land, leading their own lives, experiencing their own loves and hates."
"Therefore, I absolutely cannot allow the world to be destroyed in pursuit of some so-called spiritual transformation!"
The shepherd spoke bluntly at this moment, leaving no room for negotiation.
At this moment, even the most cunning person lost the will to continue persuading.
"Your Excellency is truly admirable." After a pause, Xiao Xinxiang said, "We simply have different stances, which is why the Master wishes to see you."
At this very moment, the feeling one gets from a petty persona changes rapidly, quickly revealing a completely different temperament.
The moment this aura appeared, the shepherd felt all the thoughts and ideas in his heart begin to tremble.
His mind could no longer remain calm.
