Chapter 291 A Divine Question and Humanity's Answer
After a long silence, a few brave players stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me…"
Before they could finish, Hanbin cut them off. "I ask, you answer."
The players obediently fell silent, looking as if they were saying, "Whatever you say, I'll listen," like obedient wooden dolls.
Hanjun covered his mouth, chuckling.
When Hanbin glanced over, Hanjun feigned nonchalance and said, "You continue."
Hanbin gave him a long, deep look before returning his attention downward to ask the question he had always wanted to pose.
"What do you think is wrong with my perspective?"
Well, that question could be considered a death sentence.
The players exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond to this query.
If they said his perspective was fine, it would undermine Hanjun's help and care.
But if they pointed out the God of Darkness's various issues, it could provoke the God of Darkness's displeasure.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
To be honest, players had limited exposure to concepts of faith.
After hearing about past events, they felt regret but had no strong opinions about it.
Having lived on Earth where the so-called gods doesn't exist, they knew that all their achievements were earned through their own efforts, and no one hated the gods for their absence.
Thus, their actions and thoughts leaned more toward the God of Darkness's ideas, albeit without the God of Darkness's extremity of wanting to destroy the world to prove a point.
After a moment of silence, as they contemplated how to respond, one voice boldly emerged from the crowd, speaking quite plainly.
"Your initial idea isn't wrong, but the conclusion you've reached is as if your brain has taken a hit; it's somewhat foolish."
Wow, who dared to insult the God of Darkness like that?
Didn't they fear a spell could wipe them all out?
Yet, with so many players present, no one could discern who had spoken.
Looking at the God of Darkness's expression, everyone felt relieved when he didn't seem overly displeased and didn't immediately annihilate them.
They all breathed a sigh of relief, noticing Hanjun nearby, still covering his mouth, laughing.
The players who were aware of the plot thought to themselves that it was fortunate Hanjun could still laugh.
If those two brothers hadn't had a minor conflict, the entire World of Eorera wouldn't be in such turmoil, and they wouldn't even be here.
Realizing it wasn't the best moment to be laughing, Hanjun quickly coughed to stifle his amusement.
Hanbin, after some contemplation, turned around to Hanjun and said, "You see? The people you summoned support my viewpoint."
The players couldn't help but complain in their hearts: It's not that we fully support your viewpoint; we just agree with certain parts of it. But the one thing we strongly oppose is your act of creating the demon race to destroy the world. Don't generalize everything like that, okay?
However, overall, it seemed that the God of Darkness wasn't too displeased with their answers.
Could this mean that the response just given wasn't wrong and had even been acknowledged by him?
Master PungPong stood closest to the two gods, becoming the prime spot for many viewers to witness the scene firsthand.
Plenty of viewers in the live streaming chat began making comments.
[ LunarBlade: So, is the correct way to get on the God of Darkness's good side is to acknowledge his ideas but not fully agree with him? ]
[ NightFlare: Of course! The God of Darkness is a total brother complex. If you fully agree with him, you'd be denying Hanjun's perspective, and he wouldn't be happy with that. ]
[ VoidWalker: This character's setup is really complex. He's stubborn in his beliefs, doing all these things, but when it comes to being judged by others, he can't stand it if they fully agree with him. Isn't that a double standard? ]
[ BloodFang: That's just how brother complexes operate. We should all get used to it. ]
Hanjun showed an exasperated expression and gave him a light nudge, saying, "Are you nitpicking with me right to my face?"
Hanbin immediately fell silent.
It was evident to the players that his brother complex was on full display.
A few chuckles came from the group of players in front, but Hanbin didn't seem bothered by it.
After getting his first answer, Hanbin continued with another question: "So, what do you think should happen next?"
This was yet another tricky question.
Thinking back to the announcement from the game company, which stated that the final outcome would be related to their choices, did that mean the decision was now in their hands?
Would the words they spoke next determine the final ending?
The players suddenly felt pressured.
Facing the intense gazes of the God of Darkness and Hanjun, they began whispering among themselves, trying to figure out how to respond next.
As they discussed, they kept sneaking glances at Hanjun's expression.
However, Hanjun's face revealed no emotions, making it impossible for the players to glean any useful hints from his demeanor.
On the other hand, the God of Darkness glared at them intently, as if he would obliterate them on the spot if they couldn't give a satisfactory answer.
No one dared to meet his gaze.
The God of Darkness waited for quite some time without receiving any answer, growing a bit impatient.
Finally, just before he lost his temper, the players sent a representative forward to speak.
That representative was none other than Master PungPong.
Even though Master PungPong had been a streamer for a long time and should've been used to speaking in public, standing before Hanbin and Hanjun, with so many players around and countless viewers in the live streaming, he suddenly felt the weight of responsibility pressing on his shoulders, as if the words were stuck in his throat.
But when he saw Hanjun's encouraging look, he calmed down considerably.
After a while, Master PungPong steadied his thoughts and slowly began to speak, sharing not only his own opinion but also that of the majority of players and viewers: "I think, considering everything that's happened, humanity can actually do just fine without the gods. So, maybe you two brothers could just leave everything alone, let us handle it ourselves, and go take a vacation or something, like parents who no longer need to meddle once their kids grow up?"
