Into Hell!
"You seem very calm?"
The Golden King looked at Qin Leng and said, "009 has already come knocking on our door, but you still can't get involved."
What trump cards are you still holding back?
Upon hearing this, Qin Leng suddenly laughed, "How can there be so many trump cards? People have their limits after all, and it's impossible to calculate everything."
"Since they're here, let them in."
Qin Leng was a bit too calm. The Golden King couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking at all. Or rather, Qin Leng was the kind of person that was the hardest for him to understand.
All of the Golden King's theories are based on self-interest.
He believes that all purposes and actions are based on self-interest.
This interest is not just money; love and beauty are interests, power is interests, survival is interests—everything is an interest.
This is how it should be.
But Qin Leng broke free from this framework. He sought no reward, and his actions were not motivated by any self-interest.
This is so strange, is he really a human?
The Golden King was absolutely certain that no one could be selfless.
Therefore, he could not understand Qin Leng, nor could he see through Qin Leng. He had no idea what Qin Leng was thinking. To him, Qin Leng was not a human being, but a mechanical creation.
Qin Leng looked at the Golden King and said, "You seem to have a lot of questions. Why don't we talk about them?"
"Before that, I'd like you to answer a few questions for me."
"If the price of becoming a god is eternal peace, would you still want to become a god?"
Golden King: "I want to."
Qin Leng: "If the price of becoming a god is the destruction of life, the withering of the earth, and the death of everyone, including your loved ones and your family, would you still want to become a god?"
Faced with this question, the Golden King hesitated. Logically speaking, the benefits of becoming a god outweighed the suffering of living beings and the loss of loved ones...
Isn't that so?
But the Golden King hesitated; at that moment, his absolute theory wavered.
After a moment, the Golden King suddenly laughed, "So that's how it is. The way of the merchant is to seek balance. Even if the items on the left and right sides of the scale are different, the balance is achieved by taking only the smallest weight."
"However, no one can be completely good or evil, just as no one can be absolutely rational. I finally understand why the scales are tipped..."
"It's human nature. The scales are in someone else's hands, and their hand is already tilted to one side. How can absolute fairness be achieved?"
Qin Leng looked at the Golden King, "It seems you already have the answer."
The Golden King couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected it to be you who solved the problem that has been puzzling me for so long."
"I must thank you for that, but I'd like to know your answer to the same question?"
Qin Leng: "I will give up becoming a god."
This question seems redundant.
He really is a flawless, selfless monster.
At this moment, Kalen rushed over, "009 and the others have already entered the first level of Hell Space, what should we do, should we fight them?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Leng waved his right hand, causing ripples in the space before him, revealing images of 009 and the others.
They found the entrance to hell and successfully entered the first level of space.
Seeing this, Qin Leng flicked his wrist and said, "It's slower than I expected."
Qin Leng actually has many ways to deal with 009 and others.
But he is now bound by 007's limitations; his will does not allow him to commit any act of killing.
Even ordering someone to kill is forbidden.
Qin Leng used his spatial abilities to monitor every corner of the continent. However, he was not Absolute Hit and could not pinpoint the exact location of a particular person's crown.
Once he finds it, he can directly obtain the crown.
However, taking the crown was tantamount to killing the other party, so Qin Leng's subjective will did not allow him to do so, not even to think about it.
In this situation, he only has one option left.
I wonder how many people are familiar with the game Portal. When two identical portals are connected, no matter which way you go, you can never reach the end, because you will always return to the starting point.
It's like being lost in a maze.
And this is exactly the situation that 009 and his team will encounter next.
They can never leave the first level of space; every time they go to the next level, they return to the entrance.
They may not realize that they have returned to the starting point, but only think that they have arrived at the next level, and then repeat the previous process.
It's like a cycle of reincarnation, with no end in sight.
However, Nightmare is leading 009's team. He knows more about Qin Leng's spatial abilities and will likely be the first to notice the anomaly.
At the same time, Nightmare must also know what playing away from home means.
Similarly, with spatial abilities, the closer one gets to the spiritual plane, the more advantageous it is for Qin Leng.
This is all because the Grim Reaper's ability to traverse the void is completely different from normal spatial crossing.
Normal traversal of space, like Insect Mother, involves tearing open a rift in the material world to move within it, knowing a spatial coordinate.
But Death is not.
Death tears open the gap between the Spirit World and material worlds, disappears into nothingness, and freely travels between the spiritual and the material.
So what are the differences between the two?
Actually, there's not much difference, since they're both essentially tearing open space; it's just that the Grim Reaper's spatial manipulation techniques are more comprehensive.
However, these two abilities are described differently depending on the perspective.
For example, in the Spirit World, physical tearing of space would be completely ineffective.
In other words, if this were a completely Spirit World, the Insect Mother's ability to traverse the void would be rendered useless.
Qin Leng's spatial abilities can still be used, but this is not a completely spiritual space; it is half spiritual and half material.
In other words, the Insect Mother's abilities will be greatly reduced, while Qin Leng's abilities will not be affected at all. He can not only tear open the mental space, but also the physical space.
He is a legitimate spatial sequence; compared to him, the Insect Mother is merely a half-baked one.
Therefore, this away game is very disadvantageous for 009.
But there was one exception: Arthur.
Qin Leng had long anticipated that his abilities possessed limitless potential, but Arthur might not have realized it.
Absolute Sever is a theoretically near-infinite ability; the only reason it has an upper limit is because the user's subjective perception has a limit.
Once a user subjectively perceives a certain upper limit, their ability can easily break through that limit.
For example, if Arthur were aware of or observed the concept of time, perhaps he could actually cut through time with a single stroke.
For example, the reason why the Frost King was able to freeze time was because he correctly recognized and observed the concept of time.
This is Absolute Trait.
Something that is completely unreasonable and has no logic to it.
In comparison, Qin Leng's Absolute Fear is not as limitless as Absolute Sever and Absolute Freeze.
Absolute Fear can only affect sentient beings.
For example, Qin Leng wanted to be afraid of the air, but the air doesn't have the concept of fear, nor does it have consciousness, so how can it be feared?
"It's really hard to accept that even Absolute Trait can vary in quality."
