Chapter XXV. Judgment

Since the creation of the Goddess Ash, when the goddess of order Asteria and the goddess of chaos Cynthia created the first generation of people, the battle between order and chaos is the immortal theme of this shijie.

The two goddesses who are almost the same fight entered eternal sleep at the same time, and their remaining creations continue their endless war, the gold race and the sulfur race are all killed, then, the silver race represented by the moon elves and the mercury race represented by the ** giant, continue their soul war.

This battle has been fought since the creation of the world, and it will never end.

When order overwhelms the realm of chaos, it is a relatively stable era of order, and if chaos prevails, it is a chaotic era of chaos.

And the next seven purgatory, more or less related to this eternal war, and even, directly a continuation of the eternal war.

The second generation of goddesses fell into a deep sleep after the war, and some even said that they were dead, and the god of Asteria, the god of light, that is, the true god who single-handedly created the light, became the core of the third generation of gods of order.

Of course, like every person who is lucky enough to ascend to power, he soon let the short-lived mortal race praise the greatness of the Light, forgetting the prestige and miracles of the previous generation of power.

On the side of the chaos camp, sorry, due to their nature of advocating freedom and violence, they have not yet decided who will be the boss, but their absolute strength is always higher than that of the order camp, after all, in the chaos camp where the weak eat the strong, the weak will not survive.

Moreover, when the angel civilization of the first generation of children of order has long become a historical term, and the remaining angels have all been acolytes of the new gods, the first generation of chaos people and demons are still carnivaling in the bottomless abyss, and occasionally fighting the autumn wind on the ground.

Even, corresponding to the seven main gods of the order camp, the chaos camp has thirteen main god level existences, when you want them to be unified, I am afraid, only the chaos goddess Cynthia will appear again.

Well, that's the most fundamental premise of Ash Purgatory, in that game, there are two camps, order and chaos, and every player must choose one before they are born, and this choice, unless it is deleted and restarted, is destined to never be changed.

The antagonism and war between the two sides have continued to this day, winning and losing each other, and most of the time, it is the camp of order that prevails.

Hawkers, everyone understands the reason, since they are all primitive and barbaric jungle rules, you can't always be stronger than me, why are you on top instead of me? Well, the result is that the inside fights are experts, and the outside fights pull each other's hind legs, zuihou seems to be extremely powerful, and they are really moving, and they are done together.

Both the sulfur race and the gold race are extremely powerful, even the weakest adult individuals are above the gold level, and their respective kings are definitely not inferior to the true gods, but due to their characteristics and rich combat experience, the chaos creatures of the same level are always a little stronger than the order creatures.

But even so, the war is still on the same level, more than ninety percent of the sulfur and gold races have fallen one by one in countless wars, and after that, the color dragon and the metal dragon who saw the crisis of extinction were unwilling to continue to serve as cannon fodder, and secretly came together, forming today's dragon race, leaving this eternal "holy war" alone

And at the insistence of the gods on both sides, and in order to continue to fight, the High Elves imitated their own structure, creating elven races such as Wood Elves, Moon Elves, Night Elves, and Silver Elves, and the Titans created giant races such as Fire Giants and Cloud Giants, and even Angels also created the first generation of human Alpine Clans, these races, adult individuals have at least silver-level combat power, and they are called Silver Races.

So, when there was new blood on the one hand, but there were fewer and fewer fights on the other, the balance of war was skewed.

The Brimstone race, which is not good at creating, has its own way.

At the cost of liliang and longevity and knowledge, the demons successfully plunged the first generation of human beings into the chaos camp, and they are now known as the inhabitants of the abyssal hell - the devil.

Of course, the endless bloody battle between the devil and the demon for the crown of evil afterwards made them hate the original choice, but at that time, it greatly strengthened the strength of the Chaos camp.

And the demons who tasted the sweetness have successfully made fallen angels, red dragons, black dragons, fire giants, and trolls join their camp, so these new races have formed the so-called mercury race, which has become the sworn enemy of the silver race.

The betrayal of the original Homo sapiens, the Takayama clan, led directly to the cleansing of the first generation of humans by the gods of order, and the possibility of the birth of the second generation, which is now the human race.

This generation of humans is purely designed for cannon fodder roles.

Compared with the previous races, their individual strength is extremely weak, their lifespan is extremely short, and what the creator wants is just cannon fodder that will not cause much damage even if they betray.

But unexpectedly, it was this weak race that changed the situation of the war.

Born extremely weak? This instead gave them the motivation to pursue liliang, study weapons, magic, etc., they learned martial arts from orcs, forge from dwarves and giants, and learn magic from elves.

Extremely short lifespan? This makes them cherish their time even more, with endless curiosity and action, and their footprints are all over heaven, hell, and other dimensions.

Coupled with the iron law that the stronger the race, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and the weak human race, the ability to reproduce is indeed terrifying.

And only the basic number has gone up, and the human beings with full potential will not lack geniuses who are enough to weld with the gods and demons.

After countless wars, after the end of the era of trolls, the current ground shijie is still a human-dominated society, which is the most obvious proof of this.

And the powerful existence of the chaos camp is not a decoration, they still can't create things, but they will revise and distort the existing rules of shijie So, the ancient king of mankind, the overlord who has been dead for many years, is the first to come out of the grave, and what drives him to act is no longer bloodline and qi, but endless death power.

He was the first undead and the oldest god of death, Iyer.

As a result, for a long time, the undead became a tool of war in the hands of demons and evil gods, and the dead ruthlessly waved their blades to their still surviving relatives.

It has to be said that the bloodthirsty undead by nature, eager to fill their emptiness with the souls of the living, are not afraid of death, and are endless, making them very handy and easy tools of war.

No one wants their race to be just cannon fodder and tools, and the god of death, Ayer, secretly gave his own race the wisdom of the devil, although only the undead above the silver level can barely learn to think, but it is enough to create the earliest undead monarchs, and the monarchs are countless subjects, warriors who fight for themselves and are not afraid of life and death.

Since he is not even afraid of death, weishenme wants to accept slavery?

Well, later, it was a natural betrayal of the whole clan.

Now, as evidenced by the Siro Empire, the undead are already an independent race, and even, there are often human mages who fear death, in order to live a long life, take the initiative to transform into immortal dead, and the core of the undead race, the lich, was also born from this.

Order and chaos, never stop fighting, even the dead cannot escape, the place of the souls of the gods of faith and order is the heavenly realm where the gods are, the strong among them have the opportunity to transform into gods, gods, and continue their own battles, the unbelievers, evil god believers and evil people, their souls will go along with the Styx River to the bottomless abyss and hell, and they may incarnate as devils and demons at any time to climb ashore.

The dimensional battlefield between the bottomless abyss and the heavens, the eternal battle between the order camp and the chaos camp, is always a meat grinder that never stops.

For players, this is not only the history of the past, but also the main line of the future story.

From the time you choose your race to enter this shijie, this endless war and catastrophe will eventually accompany you.

Ash Seven Catastrophes, the first two catastrophes, are only problems that can be solved within the scope of human beings, at that time, a silver level on the surface of the earth can already serve as the mainstream combat force, but by the time of the third undead natural disaster and the fourth demon return, it has risen to the golden race to directly participate in the war, and the golden level of mortals is just high-level cannon fodder.

The fifth and sixth aside, the seventh catastrophe, which is the final catastrophe, is the resurrection of the two supreme goddesses, repeating the ancient mythology, and at that time, the demigod realm I have reached is only a slightly more advanced cannon fodder.

At that time, the gods directly fought in the mortal world, the Ash continent cracked and cracked, and the gates of different dimensions were opened one after another, and the powerful otherworldly race completely turned this shijie into purgatory.

As for whether there is a so-called eighth catastrophe, it doesn't matter when shijie is cut into more than three thousand pieces

No wonder the prophets are crazy, and how could I be willing to learn of that apocalyptic future......

Perhaps, from the moment I learned of the future catastrophe, I was already crazy, crazy pursuit of liliang, crazy killing, crazy self-improvement with my golden finger system, and of course, I also committed boundless crimes.

According to my principle that the guilty will be judged, I am afraid that I will be the first to be burned at the stake.

But even so, I have no intention of quibbling, I confess my crime, but I still have no remorse, and... I also seem to have found a way to stop this and made a lot of preparations.

And at this moment, the time I patiently waited, I'm afraid it has come, the main plot of the game prompted by the system, but it is also the opening of the first catastrophe "Devil's Whisper", and not long ago, it has arrived.

The main plot is opened, and in the original "history", it also means that the player enters the change of this shijie,

And really like the unusually true advertising slogan "A real shijie is waiting, the future is up to you", the seven catastrophes are mostly related to those short-sighted and stupid players.

What opened the seal of the bottomless abyss and allowed the demon to return to the world was a group of player mercenaries who were dazzled by the hired gold fan, and the fuse of Xi Juan's entire Shijie's bone disaster was an invasion launched by an undead king-level player.

Irresponsible visitors from other worlds, standing for money and equipment, treating the aborigines as puppets who play and extract surplus value, turning the catastrophe of nine deaths into a living purgatory where all beings are destroyed.

Of course, those who ran for this shijie, fought and even gave up their lives, repeatedly died and even completely dissipated, but they were also a group of visitors from the other world.

And this time, in this real Shijie, there is no player who can grasp the future, and the only one who can grasp the future is me, the crippled Dry Bone Watcher.

"We vow to reverse cause and effect, change fate, and let all beings survive the catastrophe."

---------------

Okay, there's a lot of nonsense, and everyone is probably tired of looking at the setting and background, so let's talk about it.

I've thought over and over how I can get through these catastrophes, and end, well, at least suspend this endless cycle of eternal warfare.

"Holy Light?"

The Holy Light, which occupies more than 30% of Shijie's faith, has become a target for my experiment.

The stupid god of light did achieve his goal and became the strongest god, but now, when he was flooded with too much faith, he was assimilated by the faith, and he had lost his personality and became a conceptual being.

Hard to understand? This is equivalent to an old PC, downloading the data of the entire network at one time, and then, his CPU exploded, the motherboard burned, and the input and output systems were paralyzed, leaving only the hard disk idling.

Well, the god of light is the computer that has been burned, and he can only instinctively maintain the most basic cycle now, while his master has been taken offline, and on the contrary, the concept he represents itself has become more powerful due to the loss of its master.

The same concept of God, as well as the "great" Mother Earth and the "wise" goddess of magic, they are indeed incredibly powerful, but in addition to providing their own believers, they don't even have the concept of self, so naturally there is no possibility of interfering in the present world.

"As long as the people of the Order who believe in the Light have the right to use the Light."

The doctrine of the Light sounds lofty, but it is actually a testament to the need for mechanical processing, and he points out two prerequisites for the use of the power of the Light, which can be used by anyone who meets the requirements, one is the people of order, and the other is faith in the light...

Well, I've proven this all with experiments, and a demon with a human body can use it, as long as he brainwashes him into thinking that he really believes in the Light, and that he can hide from this Bright Brand Fool Transponder.

But the Light alone is never enough.

The Holy Light is the subordinate concept of order, and the core concept itself is "purification", that is, he makes things go normally according to the prescribed rules, then, he is born to violate the rules, for example, the undead who violate the rules of life and death, and the demons who are born with the people of chaos, are naturally his mortal enemies.

In fact, the Light is indeed the mortal enemy of these two chaotic beings...... Therefore, the pursuit of the so-called Holy Light to achieve peaceful coexistence is probably similar to the pursuit of arms to achieve peace, and the result is to eliminate the opponent anyway.

But in fact, Ash's long history has proven that it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate one faction, order and chaos cannot destroy the other at all, and a short-term victory will only bring more ferocious revenge and backlash next time.

Since it is impossible to destroy each other, then we can only coexist...... Coexist with a completely unreasonable chaotic creature like a demon? If I say that, I'm probably going to be able to fulfill the honorary title of "Roland the Lich with a Water in the Head".

"If only there was a boundary, a boundary that everyone could agree to abide by."

That was my initial thought, and then, immediately, I remembered the international conventions of my previous life, and then, I remembered the legal career that I had fought for all my life in my previous life......

"Okay, now trapped in Sulfur Mountain City, idle is idle, dead horses are live horse doctors, try it."

As a result, the "Dangdang Dang" Supreme Court was established, the "Dang Dang" Judicial Department was established, and the "Dang Dang" judicial system was established.......

Therefore, when my thick notebook full of laws was inexplicably recognized as the source of order, and became the original code of the artifact, and the power of the law was sublimated to the same level as the Holy Light, it was me who couldn't believe it the most.

After the astonishment and disbelief, there was uncontrollable laughter and ecstasy...... Then, laughing, laughing, and starting to cry again, bitterly tired, and laughing again, tired of laughing, and starting to cry again, even I don't remember how long I was crazy, how long I tossed.......

"Hahaha, it's so simple, it's been more than three hundred years, and it's been spinning in place, it turns out that from the beginning, the key is on me." That was the first time I saw the possibility of the dawn after countless failures.

The core of the Light is "purification", which is to return things to their proper order, and the core of the power of my law is "equality", every life and existence has its own meaning and order, and chaos itself is also a distorted order, as long as it is within the boundaries agreed upon by both parties, and the water does not interfere with the river, it can achieve coexistence.

This line is the foundation of the power of the law.

"Whoever crosses the line will be punished and even die, no matter what he is, how powerful he is, what race he is. Under the scales of the law, all beings are equal. ”

The power of the law at the beginning, just like the blood revenge of the prototype of modern law, is still very rough, fierce and untamable, hurting others and hurting oneself, as long as I use it, I will hurt myself, fortunately, as long as the life box is not damaged, that is, the matter of reading the resurrection, anyway, I am used to it... Ahem, after the continuous addition of laws and the revision of legal principles, the current power of the law is more and more evolving towards the "equal code" that I expected

"As long as the law enforcers abandon their personal identity and decide to fight for justice and justice, they can use the power of the law."

This is a simple principle that I have written in imitation of the teachings of the Light, but it is still far from being realized.

As a nascent conceptual power, the power of the law is still very weak, and it still needs to be irrigated and grown by faith, and now, only the sulfur mountain city with the strongest power of the law, within the scope of the original code of the artifact, can the power of my law be equivalent to the conceptual power of the holy light.

"After all, there is no god of law, but there will be..."

As I said at the time of the tease of the city management (amusement park of the dead), the god of law, the power of the law recognized by the whole shijie, will be there, as long as my conspiracy... Hehe, it's better to use jihua, it can be realized as scheduled, and there will be everything that should be.

"The god of law will have it, and the enforcers who use the power of the law will be spread throughout Shijie, and every city will establish a fair judicial system......"

…… There will be! I swear by my lifebox.

This time, I am not alone in my stupid attempt to change "history", but this time, we, all of us who believe in the law, will become the writers of new history!

When Adam's fool asked me if it was worth it to pay so much for a vague goal, my answer was consistent.

"Of course it's worth it, my ambition is the sea of stars. The power of my law will one day surpass the power of the boring Light. ”

Yes, there is no doubt that I am digging into the corners of the Holy Light, perhaps, I should be glad that the God of Light has become a conceptual god without self, otherwise, it will be my inevitable end to be suddenly extinguished by a light of damnation.

But now, those stupid paladins have instead added a new subordinate to the source of order, Liliang, and the order camp is becoming more and more powerful and ecstatic, and even sent someone to study here...

Let me go to the corner and laugh, when the power of the law becomes the mainstream, when the judicial system is established on the mainland, is there still a need for the Templar Church to recite the old creed? This is the legendary suicide route?

It reminds me of the priests in another shijie, the seminary, who became the founder of modern science, and laid the end for theism,...... Sure enough, the history is similar, and the original gravediggers are their own people.

Well, when the time comes, when they lose their jobs, in return, I will open up the judiciary and provide paid services for paladins to become just knights, priests to judges, and holy mages to spellcasters, which should make a lot of money.

"Your Excellency, you're ready."

Eliza's voice interrupted my thoughts.

It was the first hall of the Supreme Court, and it was also the largest courtroom, large enough to accommodate a thousand people, but because it was too large and expensive to maintain, I didn't use it a few times.

"Now, it has come time for the power of the law to truly show its miracles, and from then on, with the sulfur mountain castle as the origin, the power of the law will truly spread to every corner of this shijie.......

The deep voice is just narrating, but it reverberates back and forth in the hall, and finally becomes a simple and thick resonance, like the echo of history, as if it is destined for the future.

Now, I sit in the courtroom, and the seats below are empty, and my left deputy is Kahler, the strongest man in the judicial system. Judge Dia, and on my right-hand side, there is a snowhoof with a straight face, and he is also a legend.

Eliza, on the other hand, carefully handed over an old book that would disperse as if the wind blew it, the supreme artifact of the power of the law. The Primordial Codex.

"Old fellow, I haven't used you since you upgraded the artifact."

Caressing the familiar cover, I couldn't help but sigh, and looking around, Caleb and Snowhoof both nodded their heads to show that they were ready, and I spoke.

"I, Supreme Judge Sleepless."

"I, Judge I Calle. Dia. ”

"I, Judge II Snowhoof"

"Form a collegial panel! Trial! ”

With our proclamation, the silver light of the law fell like a starlight, and the entire shijie was covered with dazzling silver light, and in the next second, we were no longer above the dilapidated court, but above an empty void.

"Calle."

After the original canon of the artifact, the Great Spell of the Holy Order made Calle. Dia stroked her proud long beard and said in a deep voice:

"Star Court!!"

The soul emblem of the legendary powerhouse allowed them to show Shijie where their soul shone and opened a fundamental gap with the gold-level powerhouse, so what is the saint-level powerhouse and the ordinary legend powerhouse.

"It's shijie. The strong people of the Holy Order have their own hearts like shijie, turning the ideal shijie in their hearts into real reality, and exerting 300% liliang in the shijie they create. ”

Soon, with the help of the Primordial Codex, Kahler completed his own heart image Shijie.

It is a starlit courtroom, with judges' seats, defendants' seats, plaintiffs' seats, and the courtroom should have everything it should have, and in this courtroom, all force will be invalidated, all lies cannot be exported, and the only thing that can be relied on is facts and the interpretation of the law.

At this time, the empty spectator seat was already full of starlight figures, and the star spirits transformed from ancient heroes were invited to observe the miracle judgment as spectators.

But unlike ordinary spectators, they will judge by their morality, which is celebrated by the world, and if the verdict is unjust, they will end the trial, and if it is a fair trial, they will not cherish their applause too much.

"First of all, the first crime, the crime of escaping from prison!"

"Smack!" The gavel fell, countless stars were extended, and the dock was already full of phantoms, but the fugitives in Brimstone Mountain City fell into an inexplicable sluggishness.

Their flesh was now straight-eyed, their limbs weak, and they would only stand in a daze, as if their souls had been detached, when in fact their souls had been brought to this starry court.

"Weishenme I'll be here..."

"Where is this?"

In the face of the noisy souls, I tapped the gavel.

"Spell: Silence!"

Then, above the courtroom, there was only the whispering of Snowhoof's incantation.

In this courtroom, the effect and consumption of spells will increase greatly, just a first-order spell, he has been chanting for 30 seconds!

"Spells. Convict! ”

When Snowhoof activated the spell, all the souls glowed red, and on their foreheads, there was a shadow showing their crimes, how they attacked the jailers, how they fled, how they killed the patrols that stood in their way, and how they attacked ordinary citizens along the way.

"There were 147 innocent deaths, and the expected loss was 3.62 million gold coins."

The star spirits in the audience have begun to shout angrily, for these ancient heroes, hurting civilians for no reason is the shame of the strong, the most unacceptable crime, and many heroes even make thumbs down gestures according to their habits.

"Death penalty!!"

"Death penalty!!"

At this moment, all the scenes turned to the scene of Zuihou, which was an obsidian stone plaque at the gate of the prison of Sulphur Mountain City, on which I wrote the law by my own hand.

"Article 97 of the Criminal Law of Sulphur Mountain City: Those who escape from prison will be hanged!"

"Smack!"

My gavel also fell.

"All 1,461 defendants were convicted of escaping from prison, and the court pronounced their verdicts in court. Death penalty! Hanging! Execute it now!! ”

In the next second, all the souls returned to their bodies, and when they were sweating profusely and glad that they had just had a nightmare, they didn't realize that their necks were getting farther and harder to breathe...

Then, with a crisp "hula", their heads were pulled up by an invisible rope noose, and only their thighs could kick wildly.

Even though they were frantically scratching their necks, and the wounds on their necks were all over them, they still couldn't reach the invisible ropes, and after a few seconds of powerless struggle, their feet hung down weakly.

After wrapping up my first conviction, I took a deep breath.

"The execution is complete. Second Crime! Treason! ”

It's the same process as just now, except this time, it's the remnants of the councilors who colluded with other dungeons, the ** ruffians who took advantage of the fire to rob and stained with blood, and so on......

"Death penalty!! Beheading! ”

As the gavel fell, thousands of heads fell to the ground en masse, and seeing the sudden death of the sinner who was doing evil, some citizens began to kneel down and thank the miracle!

"The third crime, war crimes, aggression!!"

This time, as my gavel fell, my vision kept shifting, and finally, I came to the battlefield in the distance, the depths of the sulfur mountain range that had turned into ice!

Neither side on the battlefield seemed to sense the arrival of the Star Court, only Margaret and the orc chieftain faintly looked up at this side.

"It's normal for Margaret to step into the realm of demigods, that orc... It seems that it is not an ordinary holy order. ”

But at this time, the arrow is ready to be sent.

"I remind the court that this crime is now being committed, the violation is ongoing, and the sentence should be carried out immediately! Reduce the loss of victims. ”

"Smack." How could I refuse Caller's proposal, which was reasonable and legitimate, and which saved the power of the original text, which had been almost exhausted.

"Agreed, summary procedure, immediate execution!"

"This place is within the territory under the jurisdiction of Brimstone Mountain City, the aggressor, the underground city coalition, the victim, the Brimstone Mountain City, the fact of aggression is determined, and it is ...... in accordance with the Code"

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!

The three judges reached a consensus, and the bystanders unanimously shouted for the "death penalty", and the verdict of the collegial panel immediately took effect, so it ......

The next moment, on the ground, whether it was a powerful orc officer or an orc veteran who had experienced a hundred battles, they were all labeled as sinners, and then, silently bleeding from the seven orifices, silently fell to the ground and died, and the black dragon and red dragon in mid-air rolled their eyes and fell directly to the ground to die!

The powerful warriors died inexplicably one after another, and the battlefield immediately fell into an eerie calm, and it was the wise Margaret, who was also stunned when she saw this situation.

The battlefield that was in full swing just now became cold in the blink of an eye after the trial was issued.

The ground was already full of the corpses of the intruders.......

At this moment, the dungeon coalition has been almost completely wiped out, and the only exception may be the dragon queen who wanders and soars in the sky.

When he realized that the situation was not right, the most powerful dragon in the dungeon Shijie gave up his comrades and the battlefield without grace and without hesitation, turned around and fled.

From the very beginning, I didn't include the demigod-level dragon queen in the scope of judgment, the demigod-level she is too strong, with Kahler's ability, even with the blessing of the artifact, she can't judge him at all, if it is forcibly judged, this heart like shijie will directly disintegrate.

"If I'm in my prime,......" I shook my head, as Margaret said, "Assumptions are meaningless, [if] are more of an excuse for the weak to comfort themselves," and focus on the present.

Now, the trial has ended, the star spirits have dispersed, zuihou glanced at it, and I actually found that the orc emperor who should have died stood up again, and glared at me fiercely.

The beast's eyes were mixed with piercing hatred, and the dark green flames were burning.

"Is it really a demon? It's still a nobleman, and it seems that he can't catch it. ”

I am familiar with the flames, the flames of chaos from hell, which only the noble Archdemon can master.

As expected, the next second, Tao. The figure of the angry tooth disappeared without a trace in a cloud of black smoke.

And on our side, the disintegration of the heart like shijie has reached the zuihou stage.

"My lord, it seems that I must ask you for a long vacation of two months." After saying this, the old Kahler, who had long been overdrawn, fell directly to the ground and fell unconscious.

"Good work." Let Snowhoof set Caleb in place, I reluctantly glanced at the primordial canon that had become dull and yellow, it seems that at this level, the artifact's vacation will be longer.

But looking at the city outside, which has begun to return to calm, thanking the survivors of the miracle, and the citizens who tell each other about their safety, I feel that it is all worth it again.

zuihou, I dropped the gavel lightly.

"The trial is over! The court is now closed. ”

-----------

PS1。 The battle plot of the bitter hand and the shijie view are finally over.,I hope everyone hopes.。 The next chapter returns to a relaxed routine.

PS2。 I wrote for a day, almost two more amounts, and I thank you for your support, and I added more on the weekend
