Chapter 1335
"He must be making a mockery of me," Han Sen ultimately thought to himself, following the strange encounter with God's Retribution .
He made it sound as if he was doing it for the children, but Han Sen thought it was a ploy of some sort . He thought he had been lied to, and that there was an ulterior motive behind his words of concern .
He thought he was being a hypocrite or a Pharisee; like a person that attends vegetarian rallies but still goes home and enjoys a good steak .
He had been told that Blood Legion didn't want others to kill super creatures, as it would upset the balance . But Han Sen knew they must have had to kill a lot of super creatures themselves to maintain the strength their members had achieved .
What they were doing was pretty much what Han Sen himself did, he thought . Han Sen was never entirely truthful about how he went about things, but at the end of the day, much of what he did was for the betterment of mankind . He was still leaving things in good shape for others, who would one day carry the mantles he himself established . He was paving the way for others, whereas Blood Legion were only concerned with themselves .
It was true, Han Sen hadn't thought about the long-term, negative effects and what things might be like for the next few generations, but it wasn't as if Blood Legion had the concerns of such eventualities at heart, either .
Blood Legion was different, too . Their lineage and the strengthening of their next of kin was different than how ordinary born and bred humans were reproduced . Having an heir was a priority and chief concern for the members of Blood Legion . God's Retribution had tried to disillusion Han Sen .
"They make themselves sound so righteous, but deep down, they're as dastardly and wicked as can be," Han Sen thought to himself .
While God's Retribution might have had his own interests at heart, some of the things he mentioned really would become legitimate concerns in the future . If Han Sen did kill creatures at a rate quicker than they could reproduce, things really would be a struggle further down the line . The flesh of creatures was needed, and if there weren't any creatures left to eat, things would be dire .
Han Sen rubbed the temples of his head in thought, over the state of things . He still wanted his primary focus to rest on bringing the Third God's Sanctuary to its knees .
He needed to save humanity and allow his mother and Ji Yanran to enter the Third God's Sanctuary without worry . But to do that, he had to ensure he could do so without killing too much of the local population . He couldn't mass-murder creatures as he saw fit .
If humans became the majority, that would be quite worrisome . It truly was like an invasion, now that Han Sen thought about it . In the little time they had access to the sanctuaries, they had done a lot .
Even Han Sen was willing to admit humans were greedy, he himself included . Some were greedier than others, but it was an inherent trait of mankind that humans were greedy things that always wanted more .
During the Interstellar Era, everything was a resource and every resource was wanted . And the spending of resources always outpaced the influx of resources, too .
With a desire for ownership of worthless items, silly hobbies and such, a lot of resources were wasted . The resources taken didn't all go to the long-term betterment of mankind .
And it seemed ironic to think the more civilized humans became, the more waste would be produced . Civilization seemed to equal lavish expenditure that only came at the cost of the planets that were ravaged for the necessary components to feed and keep the flames stoked . Han Sen thought man had become so in love with greed, they had forgotten themselves and found only appetites .
Back in the Alliance, Han Sen turned off his phone and had a meal with his mother .
If Han Sen turned it on, it'd undoubtedly be ringing 24/7 . And the buzz of constant messages and notifications would shake the foundations of the building .
When he defeated No God Emperor, all the factions wanted to co-operate with him . They all wanted to help Han Sen manage the shelters he had procured .
