Another World: My life is on the hook!

Chapter 2582 If this cold winter lasts too long

Can't be defeated.

It's not just their physical defense.

The most important thing is the defense line in people’s hearts.

Victory can only bring short-lived joy, but the endless darkness will sooner or later become the last straw that breaks the camel's back and crushes the will of all living beings in the entire main universe.

Because Lynn had seen it too.

Not only the creatures at the lower level, but even his most direct subordinates who had become the new gods inside the City of Night were already exhausted.

From top to bottom.

There was an unremovable gloom in everyone's eyes.

Although Lynn's return and this huge victory have made them full of fighting spirit again.

But everyone knows it.

They will come again.

Lin En also knew very well that once this negativity and despair spread, they would be defeated by themselves without the need for those nightmares to attack again.

"We need a belief."

At the highest meeting in Night City, the Self-Bound Angel looked at him. Amidst the silence of the various legion commanders present at the meeting, she proposed the plan.

"We need a king."

"We need an emperor who will make us all obey blindly."

Even if it has horrific consequences.

Even though this was completely contrary to them and the values ​​that Lin En had long upheld, in such a desperate time, this was the best solution they could come up with.

Only fanaticism.

Only when all people and all living beings have unconditional faith in their king can he lead them out of the haze!

Only in this way……

This line of defense in my heart will not be broken.

But Lin En immediately rejected this proposal, because he knew very well what it meant. In that ancient era, the great king had also been in this wave of fanaticism. Countless creatures were willing to die for him. Until their death, they believed that their king could lead them to remove all obstacles.

But what about in the end?

They left nothing behind except countless corpses!

"But we have no choice!"

Tears welled up in the eyes of the self-bound angel as she looked at the young man she had watched grow up.

"Lin En, no one understands you better than the Mistress. In fact, you understand everything in your heart. This is the best way for everyone to survive. Why do so many people know that they are worshiping a false idol? Even if it is a real god, they may never receive any mercy in their lifetime. Why are they still willing to believe?"

"Because that's just us mortals."

"In fact, even we were the same. Just like that time, even though we knew there was no hope, we were still willing to believe that you would be able to lead us out of hell."

"Because everyone has something to hope for in their heart."

Because that's the only way.

No matter how dark or desperate everything we encounter is, we always believe.

Because even if it really fails.

Then please let us move towards destruction in hope.

"If you truly want to preserve the entire main universe and keep billions of lives alive, then make yourself the king! Become the true king, the king that everyone hopes for!"

The self-bound angel knelt on one knee, biting her lips tremblingly, her eyes red.

"do you remember?"

She recited the ancient ballad word for word.

"If this cold winter... lasts too long... will we be afraid?"

……

[If this winter lasts too long, will you be afraid? ]

If this cold winter lasts so long that it takes a lifetime to pass, and you never see the dawn of spring, will you be afraid?

【No, I will not. 】

Because.

There is no winter that will last forever.

[Because there will always be a crow that will quietly descend on a winter night and gently leave when it brings us the first ray of warm wind.]

[It always holds a torch, watching over our years and treating us tenderly.]

……

In fact, he understood.

This is indeed the best medicine they can use to rebuild people's fighting spirit before the end of the world is about to come.

Because not everyone is made of steel.

Not everyone is absolutely rational and optimistic.

Even they themselves are not 100% sure whether they can achieve the final victory.

Only faith.

Just blind obedience.

Whether it's true or not, whether it succeeds or not, only if everyone believes from the bottom of their hearts that you can lead them to victory, can they survive this cold winter!

After that meeting.

The entire strategy of Night City was also comprehensively adjusted for this purpose.

Lynn finally acquiesced to the plan.

Because he had no choice.

You have to step up to the stage.

You must use hope and faith as weapons, and use your strength to inspire the fighting spirit in the hearts of your people!

But actually.

Even if he did nothing, after people witnessed the sky-covering flames burning the dark sky, this concept had already taken root in various worlds and quickly swept through all the major star regions of the main universe at an extremely fast speed in a very short time.

Especially in another war a few years later, when Lin En once again used his unmatched strength to block the dark tide outside the borders of the main universe, this belief became uncontrollable.

Because twenty years of hard fighting have exhausted people's efforts.

People are eagerly hoping for a savior...

Be able to clear away all the thorns for them.

And at this time.

Lynn showed up.

And more importantly.

Lynn is completely different from the painter.

Although the painter had killed those nightmare demons out of the domain time and time again during those more than ten years, she had always been elusive and never participated in conventional wars. People simply could not understand what kind of existence she was.

But Lynn has been back for a few years.

He personally took care of many things, including the formation of various legions and the arming of all civilians participating in the war.

Especially in conventional warfare.

He was almost invincible, and single-handedly pushed back countless fierce attacks from the enemy.

And that's why.

In fact, there is no need for any deliberate guidance.

Faith soon emerged.

And faith quickly evolved into fanaticism!

As time went by and the war progressed, this wave swept across one world after another in the main universe at a speed that even Night City could not have predicted!

Especially after people realized that the leader who was now leading them to fight against the dark tide was the raven in ancient legends that only appeared in the rise of civilizations, this wave was suddenly pushed to an unattainable peak.

Because in the main universe.

Most civilizations have had legends about ravens.

Because of the raven...

This represents hope.

And it was in this wave of total fanaticism that Lin En was finally pushed onto the highest altar little by little. Amid the praises and cries of countless people, he was pushed to become the final savior in the hearts of all living beings in the entire main universe.
