Chapter 141: The Silent Benefactor (I)

Page 1/3

Gu Sha’s mind was completely blank. He simply couldn’t understand what the two War Emperors of the Lin family were thinking. He was the robber here, yet why would they use hostages to threaten the robber? Not only was Gu Sha dumbfounded, countless viewers in the live stream were equally baffled, their screens flooded with question marks. Everyone was mocking whether the two War Emperors of the Lin family had lost their minds, foolishly believing that a “traitor to humanity” like Gu Sha would care about the survival of humankind.

Lin Miao, who had just been freed, pulled on one of the black-robed War Emperors with a confused expression and said, “Uncle, what are you doing? That’s Gu Sha, the infamous cosmic outlaw. You’re using these Earthlings’ lives to threaten him? Aren’t these people the ones he kidnapped?”

Lin Miao’s question voiced what many were thinking. It was utterly bizarre. The Lin family War Emperors were trying to threaten a selfish “traitor to humanity” with the lives of humans. If they had kidnapped some alien beasts to threaten Gu Sha, it might have made a bit more sense. This move completely fried many people’s mental processors.

Gu Sha himself was equally stunned. He looked at the Lin family War Emperors, who were putting on a serious act, and said, “I haven’t even attacked you two yet, but have you already lost your minds?”

“Gu Sha, stop pretending!” the black-robed War Emperor said loudly. “Today, in front of countless witnesses, I will expose your disguise!”

Curious, Gu Sha didn’t rush to make a move.

The black-robed War Emperor, looking confident, declared, “Gu Sha, to be honest, I actually admire you. On the surface, you appear selfish and uncaring about the fate of humanity, earning countless curses for it. Yet you walk alone in darkness, silently bearing all the pressure, seeking a glimmer of hope for mankind. Even though the whole world misunderstands you, you never explain yourself. You are a hero. Though we come from other star regions and have seen countless heroes, you, a mere mortal, shoulder the revival of a whole planet alone. Even when plunged into the deepest darkness, you carry despair alone, leaving hope for your people. Though I dislike you, I admire you. You are a great man!”

Gu Sha: “???” When did I become so great? How come I didn’t know?

At this moment, both the viewers in the live stream and the extraordinary humans who had been kidnapped were stunned.

“What does this mean? What is the Lin family War Emperor implying? Aren’t they supposed to be enemies of Gu Sha? Have they gone mad?”

“Gu Sha? A hero? Am I not fully awake?”

“The Lin family War Emperor must be out of his mind. How can a traitor like Gu Sha be called a hero?”

“...”

The black-robed War Emperor continued loudly, “Gu Sha, stop pretending. I have studied your actions. Earthlings can’t see through you because your insight, power, and mindset are far ahead. You have surpassed Earth, so the people here can’t see through your disguise. But don’t forget, we come from the upper realms, and our vision far exceeds Earth’s. We have witnessed true darkness, so we can see through your facade!

When the Earth’s Crimson Cataclysm arrived and destruction was imminent, Earth’s technology and perspective couldn’t grasp the horror of this disaster. To use your Earthling words, being half a step ahead makes one a genius, a full step ahead makes one a madman. But you are far ahead. So no matter how right your decisions are, no one understands or supports you!

Therefore, you chose another path: to make yourself the global enemy, forcing humanity to follow the path you set for them. The cost was loneliness—endless loneliness. You would be despised by all your people, misunderstood by everyone, branded a traitor. Yet you shouldered humanity’s darkest despair and endured endless slander, never regretting, unwavering. Even without understanding, you never stopped moving forward.

Perhaps, in the dead of night, you felt pain, tormented by the endless curses and defamations from your people. Maybe you doubted whether what you did was right or worth it. But when you saw the morning sun, when you saw your struggling brethren surviving the apocalypse, you carried on despite the burden!”

Gu Sha: “??” No, if this keeps up, I might start to believe it myself. Damn it, am I really this great?

At this moment, the extraordinary beings on-site and the viewers online were all stunned. They realized the Lin family War Emperor was not joking but seemingly sincere. Yet Gu Sha… how could he be such a person?

“Hahaha,” the Lin family War Emperor continued, “I know few understand what I say, but Gu Sha, you know it in your heart.

Every action you take carries deep meaning.

The first time you appeared publicly was at the already destroyed C City fortress. There, you did as you pleased, defying authority, recklessly using your extraordinary power. Many called you selfish, accusing you of using your power only for yourself.

But you acted that way to make the government and the public take the extraordinary beings seriously. You constantly displayed your combat strength because you had seen that humanity’s only path to salvation was through extraordinary powers.

Back then, no matter what you said, few believed you. They thought you were just elevating your own status by praising extraordinary beings. So you didn’t explain yourself—you simply showed your extraordinary power relentlessly. Because you knew that when the world realized technology couldn’t match you, they would take the extraordinary powers seriously. That would be thousands of times faster than explaining yourself.

It seemed like you killed many people, but in reality, you saved many more. The earlier the Earth government paid attention to extraordinary beings, the fewer people would die—far more than those you killed. Killing to save lives, Gu Sha, don’t argue; this is the choice you made!”

Gu Sha: “...”

At this moment, the viewers began to discuss heatedly. The live chat was flooded with messages:

“Damn, the Lin family War Emperor makes a lot of sense!”

“I was among the first to join the Extraordinary Beings Association. I can testify; the Lin family War Emperor isn’t lying. When the Extraordinary Beings Association was founded, the government really didn’t take it seriously—they merely studied the extraordinary beings!”

“Exactly, I’m from the research institute. Back then, not only the government but we researchers didn’t think extraordinary beings could be powerful enough to rival conventional weapons.”

“...”

“But if we talk about paying attention, it was really after we got news about a badass extraordinary being at C City fortress—someone who single-handedly fought the army and slaughtered dozens of feral beasts—that the government started to take extraordinary beings seriously!”

“That’s right. Especially after C City fortress reported Gu Sha tearing apart tanks, enduring dozens of grenades, and breaking through an army of thousands did the government realize the development speed of extraordinary powers far outpaced technology!”

“...”

“Wait, guys, listening to you, could Gu Sha really be a great man? Were we wrong about him? But he carried a nuclear bomb and caused countless deaths! How do we explain that?”
