''Are there any restrictions on this type of donation? Is it genuinely an investment to obtain greater authority? "

"Yes, I'm glad that the knowledge of civic education you've got so far is not in vain. "

"Then...this man...is he a good person? "

"I don't know; maybe he is a decent person in general, and I'm sure everyone who meets him probably thinks that too."

"If that is the case... isn't this a good thing?"

"Nope, good people like him make up 1% of the population in the US, but they own about 30% of the country's wealth, approximately equal to the shared wealth held by the bottom 90% of Americans, and that percentage will continue to rise in the future. "

"But... Is this related to holy wars or Athena? How does that impact the sanctuary?" 

"Where do you think the divine force that started the holy wars originated nowadays? By those deities' personal will or evil thoughts? Will humanity be happy forever as long as bad gods are defeated? It's not at all what your impetuous and innocent kids believe. In fact, the consequence of human extinction is determined by the unbreakable social cycle where mortals eventually approach the end of the age and are unable to escape every curse-like fate of reincarnation where their collective thoughts and consciousness of the multitude fail to ascend by the time gods that destroy entire worlds will manifest. As Poseidon did during the mythological era when the earth submerged was not only caused by Zeus's own selfish and avaricious desires, since deities are more like metamorphoses of earthquakes, thunder, lightning, volcanoes, or day and nights; in certain cases, it can be difficult to categorize these natural events only in terms of good and evil." 

"Is that true?"

"You don't have to believe what I've said, but you will have the opportunity to confirm the veracity of these statements if you manage to stay alive this time. Because, even if you survived the holy war, you may still be unable to make it through to the end of the grand cycle in more than 30 years."

"grand cycle?"

"I am not able to disclose every detail. But this will be a more thorough annihilation and purging than the holy war's failure. There will eventually be 100,000 humans left or more, but that number will be limited to the original batch.,then everything in the human civilization will be reset during a period of misery, which could begin in the 25th years of the next century or later."

"misery? What kind of misery it will be?" 

"Economic crises, color revolutions, widespread epidemics that could be brought on by viruses made by humans or later released by 'third parties',regional conflicts that turn into major wars, anomalies in the climate, and geomagnetic reversals brought on by solar activity,earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, meteor showers, and meteorite falls that happen gradually and often, space stations collapsing, and the breakdown of civilization as a result of people becoming insane from pain."

"So, if it is true, then humans themselves cause all disasters?"  

"I can't say that's all they caused, but it is undeniably linked to the common karma of humanity since every human social and historical growth cycle ends in self-destruction when resources are distributed unequally and gradually come to be controlled by a small number of people. The application of the rule can span the entire human race or just a single nation. Even if a few strong ones can survive by colonizing and pillaging the weak, they will eventually perish themselves, and looting more will affect more people and cause them to the grave collectively, even if there are no natural disasters or outside interventions that shorten the process to decline.Like, it's all just a matter of time...."

Camus looked at the Glacier who seemed overwhelmed, closed his eyes, and sighed. He never imagined that he would bring this up to his pupil one day, only wishing that the two kids might always live a simple existence like perpetually teenage boys without being exposed to any complexity or danger in the outside world. He also hoped they could continue living with their straightforward and fervent energy. As warriors, all they have to do is battle, using their strength and avoiding distractions. But he never dreamed that one day, the apprentice he loved would stand in front of him with they fight against each other; Camus fell into deep self-blame: he should have told his pupils earlier, at least had certain things instilled in them occasionally, the situation may differ from this. Their exposure to a world of black-and-white values is single, regardless of how they see things, it would look different from what they envisioned. For this reason, when they finally witness the dark side, their worldview will collapse instantly, and their beliefs can be easily disproved overnight. 

Despite his strong reluctance, the red-headed man had to speak up now, even if it would no longer be helpful. Also, it was too early to tell the fourteen-year-old child all this, but he thinks he may convince the young boy to return to Siberia safely and live a quiet, solitary life there. Even the concerns about potentially being the source of leaked insider information and hazardous secrets have been left behind. He went on:

"The chance for the entire group to reap the greatest rewards will gradually be harmed if each person seeks to maximize their interests. One of the main causes of the inability to maximize individual interests is the failure of the overall interests to optimize. It appears that 7% or 0.3% of the population won. Still, like all the vampires in 'Dracula', such a world where vampires occupy 97% of the resources is unsustainable for vampires and humans alike. The former will likewise starve to death since there are insufficient blood banks, while the latter steadily goes extinct. The future of the whole biological chain can only be saved if vampires are restricted from being too greedy and bloodthirsty, even if they are a legitimate species or are a necessary element of the life cycle, do you understand?" 

"But something or someone will always be able to change everything. The evolution of humans to their current state has been challenging; if they can attain their perfect world immediately without putting in a lot of effort and face no barriers, then it is genuinely a utopian dream. Is that not so?"

"You seem to have forgotten something. Why is utopia called utopia is not because the goal set is too perfect, too pure, or unrealistic but rather because people only see the beauty, purity, and attractiveness of the goal and do not see what it takes to achieve it, also the effort and sacrifice, the pain, suffering, and failure, and the long, winding, frightening road to get there,they would give up trying while can't let go of selfish desires and only openly disguise animal nature as a so-called human nature, encouraging people to degenerate, euphemistically called it emancipation of nature."

"So,How can it be concluded that there are no people or countries working hard for it?"

"Perhaps, but classes don't betray their interests, only individuals do that. Based on the information and evidence I currently have, I can draw the conclusion that the desire of specific elite groups to dominate the entire world will only grow more out of control even though they lack creativity and run out of ideas, are only able to refinance existing debts with new ones during a crisis, extend the term of existing debts, and keep up quantitative easing, but as expected, it will only help a small number of people, much like hormone injections that used to create a false recovery by drastically over-drafting the future of patients with advanced cancer. At the same time, people find it harder to come together, and society becomes increasingly fragmented. There will only be more group splits as a demoralized rabble later on."

"but why do these gods have to wipe out humankind because of that?"

"Consider yourself ready to conduct an experiment. The experiment fails or compromises the testing outcome if harmful bacteria and contaminants appear in the petri dish. For laboratory employees, what will you do? Suppose you do not go through the process of isolation and purification,in that case, you will get a corrupted sample that also applies to the humankind of the gods created,the ones who annihilate themselves by generating evil also could cause good people to lose their chance of survival. That is to say, Dostoevsky was dissatisfied with the world that God had created, but he did not resist God!"
