The absence of 'ego' is the greatest weakness of the Goddess of Justice.

Although she has the great power to destroy all evil, she would rather trust the scales in her hands and the evil deeds she sees, rather than rely on her own subjective judgment.

This causes the divinity possessed by the Goddess of Justice to be too transcendent, almost to the point of being unreal.

The other gods also lacked human emotion, but they were at least not like the Goddess of Justice.

Not only is there no joy, anger or sorrow, but even self-reflection is missing.

In Libra's trial, she will not listen to anyone if evil thoughts prevail.

He will only swing the sharp sword of punishment in his hand and quickly erase the evil from this world.

In Victor's opinion, if Gwen was really possessed by the goddess of justice in the first place.

Then this goddess may have killed Victor, who was disgusted with dogs at the time, at the first time.

In a sense, he also has to thank Gwen for not killing in the first place.

Otherwise, there would be no Victor today.

Then, Victor looked at the goddess of justice, who had been shaken by his words, and gradually retracted her wings behind her.

Seeing some results, he continued:

"Now, put your scales aside and let me ask you."

The Lady of Justice obediently gently set the golden scale aside and watched it regain its balance.

"You thanked me before, too, for helping you wipe out that group of believers and protect the entire population of Shulben."

"Am I good or evil?"

The goddess of justice, who did not have a scale, seemed hesitant at the moment, and after thinking almost cautiously, she replied tentatively.

It's like a cowardly student facing a strict teacher:

“…… Good? ”

"Then I continue to ask you, my purpose is not to protect the people of Xiu Erben at all, and their life and death have nothing to do with me."

"I just deliberately summoned your followers here to wage war in Shulben and eventually destroy this place as well."

Victor's tone was cold, but every word of his pierced the ears of the goddess of justice.

"Am I good or evil this time?"

"Evil."

Asteriya didn't hesitate to take the lead.

"Then I should not kill it."

"Damn it."

“……”

Victor frowned and continued:

"Therefore, I have done good, and you do not reward me."

"You're going to punish me for something wrong?"

The Goddess of Justice nodded.

Victor covered his forehead in distress, then took a deep breath,

It seems that it is still quite challenging to remake the mind of this stubborn goddess.

Knowing this, he would rather defeat her first and let Vega brainwash her at once.

But Victor knew that this was not the way to go.

Because this is the necessary step to get Gwen back to normal.

The reason why Gwen's thoughts and emotions are infinitely close to the goddess of justice,

It is precisely because Gwen himself is the embodiment of the Libra of Astrayan.

She regained her body and life through that scale,

As a result, she and the Goddess of Justice are now able to share the same body.

Therefore, over time, Gwen will gradually become more and more like Asteria,

First of all, their minds are completely identical, and Gwen and Astraya will be completely one.

If you want Gwen to return to normal, you can't just let this paranoid goddess leave Gwen's body.

It is necessary for her to completely change her mind, learn to think with her heart, and have emotions.

So that Gwen can really get back to normal.

However, Asterya's notion that "evil must be punished" is too persistent.

Even if there is no scale to measure Victor's good and evil, even if Victor does most of the good things.

But as soon as he makes the slightest mistake, the Lady Justice thinks he should be purged from this world.

In a way, her innocence is like a blank slate,

The Goddess of Justice believes that human nature is inherently good, so she does not give additional rewards to those who are kind.

But...... Victor decided to tell her,

The world is not as perfect as she imagined, and not everyone is a good person.

Victor couldn't take it anymore and held out his finger and pressed it to Astriana's eyes that were covered by his silver-white helmet.

With a little force, I poked it twice.

Astreya didn't feel that this was an insult to her, and she didn't even do anything to break her defenses.

So he just stared blankly, suspiciously, at Victor's actions.

"I'm telling you, do you think I helped you clean up your mess because I wanted to do good?"

Astraya wanted to nod, but she couldn't move because Victor was pointing at her head.

Victor sensed that she was about to nod, and said coldly:

"What bullshit theory."

This may be the first time Victor has sweared.

Because there are things that gentlemen and nobles cannot make Asterya understand.

Gentlemen and aristocrats are the beautiful images that people look forward to.

Under this aristocratic system, everyone respects each other and is polite.

Everyone seems to be trying to do good, and the nobles even compete with each other.

Boast about how much money they have given and how much they have helped those in need.

But behind the aristocracy is the squalor – money laundering, embezzlement and deep-seated dealings.

This is something that the goddess of justice, who has not suffered from human suffering, could not see.

The aristocracy continued to do evil in the name of good.

However, if we only look at the surface of the aristocracy, it is true that people should have good intentions, as Astraya imagined.

Because in this day and age, superficial goodness is to cover up inner evil.

"You think that goodness is normal, so why, when you stay in the world, you can still see so many evil people in the name of good deeds?"

This is also what the goddess of justice doubts the most, and it is also the thing she hates the most.

The whole era is showing goodness and beauty, but Libra tells her that behind this is a bad deed that goes against the grain.

Since evil exists, then they should be completely destroyed,

Wouldn't it be nice to leave only those pure and good sides?

Wasn't she doing the right thing?

At this moment, Victor is ready to uncover the surface of the incident and reveal the truth to Astraya.

"Why should I do good? Just because I'm supposed to do it? ”

"Then now I'm telling you, I helped you solve those messes because I had my own purpose."

Victor took a deep breath, withdrew his fingers pointing at the head of the goddess of justice, and put his hands back in his pockets,

His brow sank slowly, and his deep obsidian-colored pupils exuded a fierce killing intent.

It's like a bottomless blood-colored lake, which makes people feel suffocated:

"Because I want to kill you."

Hearing this, the goddess of justice was shocked.

As if it was the first time she had heard such a statement, her tone trembled slightly:

"Why?"

"Because you took possession of my wife's body."

Victor's expression was still cold, and he said in a nutshell:

"I killed all your followers in order to weaken your power and wipe you out before you take over Gwen."

"Although you still occupy my wife's body due to the mistake in the process, it does not reduce my hatred for you in any way."

"You say, in my eyes, the mysterious existence that occupies my wife's body is not evil, should it be killed?"

Asterya was silent for a few moments.

After Victor's words fell, Astraya was slightly stunned, and she could clearly feel a throbbing welling up from the depths of her heart.

That is the true owner of this body, the emotion of her oracle.

It's joy, it's relief.

It was an emotion she would never have on her own.

Finally, she looked back at Victor and nodded calmly:

"Yes."

"Then you still expect me to do good deeds with good intentions?"

Victor's tone was harsh, almost scolding.

"I did good deeds to kill you, so I destroyed Sulburn and created this battlefield."

"Now, let me ask you again, should I kill you?"

Astraya was silent for a moment, and finally calmly lowered her head, and a deep voice slowly came out of her mouth:

"It shouldn't."

"Why shouldn't it!"

Victor's voice revealed the emotion of hatred that iron is not made of steel, which made her startled.

As a high god, she has never been so reprimanded by humans,

Only Victor dared to stand in front of her, repeatedly questioned her loudly, and even did not hesitate to use foul language,

But she didn't mean to attack it.

On the one hand, she was still jealous of the man in front of her, because Victor's power had been recognized by Asteria,

On the other hand, she felt that what Victor said was reasonable,

If they are wicked, they should be wiped out.

But the response was not Victor's approval, but his questioning again:

"You mean, because you've been persuaded that you think you're evil."

"So you voluntarily committed suicide in front of your enemies?"

Astraya nodded again, but then shook her head as something was wrong.

Now, she has been disturbed by Victor.

She believes that she is a wicked person and therefore deserves to commit suicide.

But the word 'enemy' mentioned by Victor made her reflect.

Their enemies deserve to be eradicated.

But Asterya herself didn't realize it.

At this moment, her entanglement allowed her to gradually form an independent thought.

It was the first time she had really learned to think.

Victor silently watched her tangle, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking her head.

Finally, in an indifferent tone, he continued:

"So, now you, can you decide whether I am good or evil?"

Hearing the voice, Asteria came to her senses and turned her gaze back to Victor.

She shook her head.

How should she judge Victor's good and evil,

To fight her, he attracts believers and destroys the entire Shulben - this is evil.

In order to save his wife, kill the evil god who took over his wife's body - this is good.

I'm afraid that even the scales can't accurately measure Victor's good and evil.

That's why, when the scales can't accurately measure good and evil, Astraya usually relies on her own eyes.

She saw that someone who had done evil should be punished, regardless of whether or not that person had done good deeds in the past.

Because for Astraya, goodness is taken for granted.

But evil, it must be brought to justice.

But Victor gave her a new way of thinking.

No one does good for the sake of doing good.

Even for truly good people, doing good deeds is for some purpose.

Whether it's a desire to see others happy, or just to be praised.

Kindness and justice are not instincts.

Perhaps some people are naturally willing to do good, and they also do good deeds to satisfy their feelings.

But this is an end in itself, not a mere instinct.

After Viktor's revelation, Asteriya suddenly realized.

Since goodness is not something that should be taken for granted, should she set a new and correct standard?

Just like Victor now, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

"If you have a heart for goodness, you will not be rewarded for being good."

"If you do evil without intention, you will not be punished for evil."

Viktor looked at Astria's entanglement and said lightly:

"Let's start here and change."

The moment she heard the voice, Astraya nodded subconsciously.

She thinks that the current Victor should be 'good', at least he is trying to improve her 'evil' person to good.

Obviously, she should have been righteous and kind.

Therefore, Asteriya felt that she should express her gratitude.

So, she stared at Victor's figure, suddenly put her hands on her thighs, leaned forward slightly, and bowed respectfully:

"Thank you, teacher."

Originally, Victor was still reflecting on whether his words were too much, but after hearing Astraya's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, he looked at the goddess in front of him in surprise and asked:

"What do you call me?"

"Teacher."

Asteriya still kept her head down, but her tone was firm:

"In human society, people often refer to the person who teaches them as a teacher."

"Please guide me to understand true justice."

With that, she stood up and looked deeply at Victor through the eyes of her helmet, her eyes full of seriousness and anticipation.

"So allow me to follow you during this time, teacher."
