Chapter 1093: Chapter 270: Divine Authority Is Not Eternal (Part 2)
Fortunately, a scholar from the Origin Society invented the soul castration surgery.
It is called the prefrontal lobotomy and has now become the most common treatment in the Sanctuary of Logic.
They don’t need to execute any rebels; experiments prove that even the strongest will to resist disappears after the prefrontal lobes are removed, and they will return to the Holy Master and the right path.
The Messiah realized that the human soul is the source of their pain and the reason the Old Gods are drawn to them.
In the dark universe, a soul is like a firefly, and when they gather together, even the Old Gods cannot ignore their existence.
The Messiah also recognized that castrating human souls, though it maximizes the stability of Paradise Society, is not a long-term solution; thus, He must delve deeper into communication with the "Magic Realm," where people have a deeper understanding and research of souls.
He firmly believed that if He could know everything, one day He will find a way to sustain Paradise Society without the need to castrate souls.
This was also why He previously possessed the Chief Prosecutor to face Ethan.
For the whole Paradise Society, Flynn Seine is insignificant; he is just an inconspicuous ordinary resident, even in the most extreme scenarios predicted by Him, Flynn Seine will only be killed by the High-tier Council during the rebellion, and a single individual cannot bring any turmoil to a stable society.
The real threat to the Messiah lies in another matter.
Regardless of the research by the Origin Society or the knowledge He possesses, once the prefrontal lobotomy is completed, the castrated soul can never be restored; in a sense, at the moment the surgery is completed, part of the patient dies.
Yet Ethan restored that deceased part with just a few words, or rather, he stuffed the lost soul back into Flynn Seine’s body.
The real problem is Ethan.
As long as he inserts more souls into the bodies of the castrated ones, eventually this stable civilization will fall apart.
Especially in the Edge World, where there are tens of billions of castrated ones.
The people there are in no way prepared to have souls, it will only bring them pain, pain will breed turmoil, and summon the arrival of the Old Gods.
Sincaro seemed to have seen through the Messiah’s heart, and every word was like a hammer pounding on the Messiah’s heart, "Yet in another aspect, when you look at Mr. Ethan, you still don’t know what he really wants."
Indeed, this is precisely what makes Ethan the most unsettling for Him.
Even though He has known everything about Ethan, even though this "Consciousness" stands before Him, He still cannot calculate any future involving Ethan.
He cannot even predict Ethan’s next move.
"I love Mr. Ethan, he’s a good man, I really tried my best to recruit him, truly."
Sincaro said, "But you know why I can’t do that, the real issue lies here, that unpredictability means good intentions don’t always lead to good outcomes, Flynn Seine is the best example, not everyone can endure the benevolence from a Divine Spirit."
This will turn their lives upside down, ignite their desires, make them unrealistically hopeful for the future, and even make them convinced they are unique beings.
"Therefore, we must create a model applicable to everyone."
At this moment, the Master of Demons’ face surprisingly showed a radiant smile.
Sincaro knew He had entered the Messiah’s heart, and on the other hand, Ethan remained silent, yet He understood the other side—Ethan wasn’t at a loss for words but simply didn’t care about all they were discussing.
Paradise Society, stable models, power shifts...
The Ethan He knows only believes in his senses and intuition, which is why this unique Node Space Consciousness is highly regarded among His kind.
"You see, compared to the future direction of the human and demon civilization, Mr. Ethan is more concerned about his friends."
Sincaro’s gaze followed Ethan’s.
The battle between the Other Shore and the Knight Lord was nearing its end, the outcome of this battle was not surprising.
Although the Other Shore is the strongest knight in thousands of years, how could she possibly defeat the true creator of this path, the Knight Lord himself?
The Knight Lord has a longer lifespan, He has participated in more battles, and He is also the most valiant among many True Gods.
Most importantly, within His body is the DNA of the Father of War, Kaisaros, there is an insurmountable gap between Him and mortals.
The armor on the Other Shore was already riddled with holes, instead of blood, what flowed from the scars covering her body was a silver-white glow, which visibly dimmed with each exchange.
That was the Other Shore’s soul.
Stronger and more dazzling than any human Sincaro has ever seen, even He couldn’t help but lament this soul destined to be lost.
If only there was enough time and opportunity, perhaps He could transform the Other Shore into an incomparably powerful Demon Lord.
But ultimately, their "beliefs" are different.
