CIATB Chapter 47 is not about right or wrong, but about perspectives.
Chapter 47 is not about right or wrong, but about perspectives.
Upon Groud's death, the gorillas whose intelligence had been elevated under his influence reverted to their wild nature and scattered like birds and beasts.
Joey was preparing to use his thermal vision to spot some individuals mixed in with the other gorillas that were completely different from the others, but Kara reached out and blocked his eyes.
She gently tugged at Joey's cloak, and although she didn't say anything, Joey knew what she meant.
Joey brushed the other person's hand aside and used his gaze to precisely target the few gorillas hiding among the beasts, giving them a mind-blowing experience:
"Look with your own eyes, their brain structure is completely different from other gorillas, and letting them go is a danger to the local people."
"I know, but they can think like us, and I'm not sure if what we're doing is the right thing to do..."
Kara's idea made Joey sigh helplessly. This Kryptonian's thinking was just like what people usually call a saint, but a true saint cannot enter a war.
"Listen, Kara, don't be fooled by that gorilla's words. Both sides in a war must fight for their own survival and interests. For the participants, there is no right or wrong, only positions."
Joey understood this a long time ago, and he understood even better what role people like him could play in it.
"The course and outcome of a war will determine the fate and life and death of tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of people, and people like us can easily change the course of the war and decide the fate of these people according to our own likes and dislikes."
Joey had pondered this question countless times before. He could make all the injustices he had witnessed in his past life disappear with a mere thought, but he was never sure if he should do it.
Is the justice in one's own heart truly the justice that humanity needs?
If we compare the world to a train, the world we come from may be chaotic, but that's just how humanity is, so at least it's still on track.
The world has completely gone off track. With the Flash dead, if he doesn't catch this train that has derailed, everyone on board will die.
Your own sense of "justice" may not be perfect, but why not give it a try? The situation can't be any worse than it is now, can it?
After the two men completely defeated Gruud's ape army, the people who regained their freedom were gathered together by the surviving members of the resistance. They were poorly clothed and emaciated. Most of them were just some tribal people from the Central African steppe. Gruud had taken them on a whim to join his army, simply so that he could eat fresh brains at any time.
One of the tribesmen, whose face was painted with intricate patterns, rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in the direction of Joey and Kara, chanting names that Kara couldn't understand.
"What is he saying?"
Joey translated for Kara: "He said you are the savior brought to the world by the manifestation of Morpheus."
African mythology has long been fragmented, and Joey had no idea which system this Morpheus god belonged to.
But that doesn't matter at all.
After careful observation, Joey used his thermal vision to pierce the ground, and groundwater gushed out under pressure, forming a small puddle for them to wash.
Kara then brought over the supplies and food that originally belonged to the Gruud team to feed them.
Joey also gathered weapons and fire starters for them to defend themselves.
With the death of the gorilla Groud, his empire will naturally crumble quickly, but this does not mean that true peace will come to the African continent.
Just like before, this desert and grassland will only see a new round of fighting, except that the protagonists have changed from gorillas and humans to humans fighting each other again.
The only constant is war.
Joey needs to quickly settle things elsewhere before the survivors on the African continent officially begin fighting.

The island of Britain.
Initially, the war between Wonder Woman and Aquaman was confined to their homelands; the swords of the Amazons and Atlanteans did not reach the mortal world.
But everything will change when the Amazons' home island of Paradise sinks into the sea during their war with the Atlanteans.
The Amazons are an entire tribe of brave and skilled women. They are the last remnants of the Greek gods left on earth, and together they formed the all-female kingdom of Paradise Island. Now, having lost their homeland, they are forced to go to the world of men.
When these refugees from Paradise Island, who had lost their homeland, appeared on the coast of Britain aboard wooden ancient Greek warships, Wonder Woman traveled to London to negotiate for a place to settle her people.
But for Britain, such a request is a bit like showing off one's skills in front of an expert. Our ancestors in Great Britain have been doing this for a long time, so how could we not know the whole process?
Today you want me to carve out a piece of land for you to settle down, but tomorrow you're preparing to seize the opportunity to invade the British mainland, and the day after tomorrow you, Wonder Woman, will simply hand over the throne of the Empress Dowager in Buckingham Palace.
Wonder Woman thought the other person made a lot of sense, so she drew her sword.
The mortal armies were no match for the Amazons' swords. The Greek triremes, though seemingly made of wood, were actually blessed by Olympian magic, and steel warships could not harm them in the slightest.
Faced with this situation, the army surrendered almost entirely, and in less than 24 hours, the Amazons occupied the entire territory of Britain. Wonder Woman Diana gave a speech at 10 Downing Street, claiming Amazon sovereignty and renaming the British Isles as New Paradise Island.
When Joey arrived at the British Isles, or rather, New Paradise Island, he witnessed this scene.
After finishing her speech, Amazonian Queen Diana ordered her subordinates to expel the group of media mouthpieces responsible for relaying messages from the country, and then leaped into the air towards where Joey was.
Amazon's stealth fighters had already detected the arrival of this uninvited guest.
Yes, although the Amazons sail across the ocean in wooden oar-drawn sailboats, they also possess the world's most advanced stealth fighters, which are not just invisible in the sense of radar, but also invisible in the sense of light.
While Diana was still giving her speech, Artemis had already drawn her longsword and was fighting Joey in the air from the wings of her stealth fighter. By the time Diana arrived, the battle was over.
Artemis, as the most outstanding warrior among the Amazons, possessed combat skills far superior to Joy's, but her only problem was that she was too slow.
Whether flying or sprinting, even if they could use a stealth fighter as an accelerator, they still couldn't touch a single hair on Joey's head.
With a single breath, Joey froze the opponent's divine sword into ordinary iron, enough to shatter it with a light tap. Then, by grabbing the broken sword and pulling it up and down, he threw the Amazon off balance.
"Step back, Artemis."
Wonder Woman Diana watched the second half of the battle and realized that this man was just toying with her companions, so she decisively had Artemis withdraw from the battlefield.
"What brings you here?"
Diana drew her Hephaestus sword and pointed it at Joey. This sword, forged by Hephaestus, could cut through objects at the subatomic level. She had seen enough arrogant and conceited men like Joey.
"If you come here like the other men before you, trying to persuade the Amazons to retreat, you are destined to return empty-handed. The Amazons will never give up the land they depend on for survival."
The Amazons' homeland, Paradise Island, has sunk into the sea, leaving them with nowhere to retreat.
As mentioned before, this war is not about right or wrong, but only about positions.
