章 479: discipline

If Kayden allowed the world to follow a completely natural course without any interference on his part, it would likely end with the strongest completely suppressing the weakest with an overwhelming difference that could never be overcome, and this would be against what Kayden preached in his government.

"What is the strongest weapon in rational beings?" Kayden asked Atlas after a lesson on divine mana. The content had no relation to his question, leaving Atlas lost for a few seconds while he thought of a decent answer.

"Hate or love." Atlas's response wasn't bad at all; in fact, it was perfect. These two emotions were capable of driving beings to commit immense acts for their goals. Hate could provide strength and fuel to a mind for a very long time, but it eventually ran out. One day, the reason for the hatred would disappear or be killed, revealing that hate was merely a motivation, not a true fuel.
