Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

--wrong?

——What's wrong?

——Did God say that the judgment just now was wrong?

——Then the trial just now was indeed wrong.

Few people can understand Su Zhou's words.

This was the thought that flashed through the minds of most of the residents of Twilight City when they heard the words spoken by their Lord on the execution platform.

——Since God said something wrong, then it is wrong.

Why is it wrong? Not sure. But since the gods said it was wrong, then it is really wrong. Maybe a priest will explain it to us later.

In fact, there are only a few people who have such thoughts, because they are at least still looking for an explanation.

But the residents who came to watch the judgment were all believers of the Lord of Judgment. They were pious and feared judgment and judgment, especially those who had the blood of judgment manifested, or who had more or less obtained it in their past lives. Some believers of the Lord of Judgment help people, and their piety does not even require Su Zhou to explain right and wrong.

They revere the Lord of Judgement, so when Su Zhou appeared in front of them, their hearts were filled with only joy and excitement.

——Ah, Lord, it is the Lord! He has come!

——The divine descent a few days ago was indeed real! I missed it... If I persevered, I might be the first person to meet the Lord!

——I want to record this scene, draw it when I get home, and leave it to future generations!

This is what they really think.

Therefore, since the Lord of Judgment said that the previous judgment was wrong, then it must be that it was wrong.

"Yes, this little girl is not guilty!"

"Yes, she is innocent, we should pardon her!"

"Fool, since she is innocent, there is no way we can pardon her! She should be released on the spot and then apologize and compensate!"

For a time, such voices and thoughts spread in the square.

In fact, many people have already begun to take action - they want to obey Su Zhou's words, board the execution platform, and honorably release the girl from the People of the Wind to prove their piety.

However, a gentle force blocked them, preventing these people from moving forward.

Su Zhou stood on the execution platform. He stared at all the people in front of him wordlessly, his eyes full of loss - a kind of loss for himself and for everyone in front of him.

"Why is it so easy to believe everything I say?"

He whispered to himself in a low voice, but his voice resounded throughout the city. The sacred voice lingered in everyone's ears, with a confused tone: "Where are the doubts? Weren't you all praying before, praying for me to judge? Do you want me to kill her with a lightning strike?”

"Why do you all believe me as soon as I open my mouth?"

No one answered.

Everyone was as confused as Su Zhou.

--if not?

Even God said so, so is there anything wrong?

They couldn't understand Su Zhou's thinking at all, because in the eyes of these residents of Sunset City... no, in the eyes of the residents of the reincarnation world, God is the incarnation of absolute correctness.

Questioning God? Why, isn’t it God who allows them to live and work in peace and contentment, and uses religious covenants and laws to restrain the inherent evil of human nature, so that the whole world can worship goodness and friendship?

In this way, Su Zhou waited for a while, but still didn't hear the voice he longed to hear.

The young man could hear the voices of everyone in the audience - they still couldn't figure out why.

So Su Zhou knew that he might not be able to wait for an answer.

——When there is rule, there are masses. Where there are masses, there is blind obedience. If there is blind obedience, there will be no independent thinking.

Religious rule with a true God, using morality, culture, and faith as standards and suppressors, coupled with the possible existence of divine descendants as a killer weapon with the 'final right of interpretation', is the most powerful rule. 's rule.

Therefore, Su Zhou could only sigh.

"Elias, you did something wrong... Although I still don't know how you lead this world, there is no doubt that you are at least half wrong."

"Such a rule may make them happy, make them equal, and make them friendly to each other... But at the same time, it will only make them a group of ignorant people who only know how to worship gods."

"If the gods are always right, there may not be any big problems - but if the gods make mistakes, there will no longer be the power to restrain or advise the gods in this world!"

So, he took a step forward.

Su Zhou stood on the judgment stand, facing tens of thousands of people in front of him, and even more other residents of Xuguang City who had hurriedly arrived because of the 'divine descent'. He lowered his voice and said seriously: "If you don't teach, you will Punishing is cruelty. Using violence to eliminate a person without trying to educate or change the other person is cruel and wrong."

"I actually don't know whether this child believes in me, but even if you really don't like unbelievers, why don't you try to educate them and let them become you?"

"Maybe his parents are pirates, but what about the child? Has she committed other crimes, such as murder, robbery, or accompanying crimes?"

"I am not letting her go just because she is a young child - if she kills, robs, abuses other people, or does great evil, then she is not a child, but a beast. You can judge her by these crimes I will only applaud the verdict. But why should I use the reason of disbelief?"

The voice of the Lord resounds throughout heaven and earth.

Ammon knelt down and worshiped on the spot. He was still recalling in his mind God's previous power that seemed to suspend time, as well as the mighty power that easily shattered the lightning tribulation and knocked the sky out of the cloud cave.

"It's too powerful. Is this the Lord of Judgment? My Lord is obviously so powerful, but he was still able to enjoy delicious food in a small shop with ordinary people... Is this the Lord's mercy and love?"

Although he thought so in his heart, for some reason, Aimeng still had some doubts in his heart.

He was the only one who saw the Lord respond to prayers, use his power, and send down thunder to punish the old man who spread the plague.

Therefore, it was difficult for Ammon to understand why, after this, the Lord clearly did not exert his power, but thunder punishment still came - and then, the Lord shattered the thunder punishment and publicized that judgment as wrong.

Why? It was difficult for him to understand.

Why? There are actually many reasons in my mind. But most of the time, he suppressed these reasons in his heart and imposed seals one after another.

So, when the Lord was confused and asked everyone present, he asked one question after another.

For some reason, Aimeng suddenly stood up.

From the original kneeling.

"My lord!"

The moment he stood up, the gray-haired priest felt that tens of thousands of people in the entire square were looking at him at the same time - doubts, confusion, shock, fear, dissatisfaction...many, many kinds of eyes were focused on him.

You can even hear ‘Kneel down! You are disrespecting God! ’ ‘Amon, what are you doing? ! ’ Such a reproachful voice.

For a moment, Ammon's heartbeat was very fast, because of fear, and because of an uncontrollable feeling... He knew that it was confusion, a kind of confusion that had been hidden for a long time, ever since he first saw the Lord of Judgment and God. At that time, there was already confusion.

Therefore, even though he was facing the vaguely hostile eyes of tens of thousands of people, the priest still forced himself to calm down his tone and said loudly: "Why do you want to protect this unbeliever?"

Saying this, Ammon almost gave up and said loudly: "I, I have received your grace! My family was almost killed because of the persecution of some unbelievers and those who did not follow the religious covenants and laws. Yes. You, your judge, brought me a fair decision and allowed me to survive the unfair frame-up."

"So when I learned that I also had the blood of judgment, I was extremely excited. It proved that I could be close to you - close to your way! I firmly believe that your way can judge all evil and all unbelief, making the world a mess. better!"

"And those who don't believe, they frame up, deceive the good, they don't follow the way of good at all... When they abandon the oath you made with us, they are already the incarnation of evil!"

"good!"

Ammon originally thought that he would be reprimanded by God - how normal, God had just said that the girl was sinless, which meant that she must believe in the Lord.

In this case, the accusation I just made has no basis at all.

However, as soon as he heard it, the Lord said that He actually didn’t know whether the other party believed in Him or not. This strange feeling came out of his heart, making him unhappy.

However, Ammon did not expect that the Lord’s immediate response would be excitement and encouraging approval.

"Good question, Ammon."

The priest could hear it, and the Lord on the judgment seat looked at him. It was a warm gaze that was far better than the sun. It focused on him, as if he had become the focus of the entire scene.

And then, the Lord responded to his own question.

"But, you still haven't understood - punishment is not to destroy, but to make people's lives better!"

"The reason why I punish evil people is because if I don't punish those evil people, other good people will not be able to live. Of course, I can't understand it myself. This is also a reason. But, if the evil person is not evil enough, other people will not be able to live until he dies. To the extent that I don’t hate him so much that I have to kill him.”

Saying this, the Lord stretched out his hand and pointed behind him at the girl from the Wind People who was still unconscious: "You asked me why I wanted to protect this unbelieving person - but you were wrong, I did not protect the unbelieving person. '. I'm just protecting a person who still doesn't know whether he made a mistake or not."

"Ammon, you said that you have been persecuted by unbelievers, but you also know very well that compared to the point of 'punishing the evildoers, but the good people also died', is it that the 'good people have returned to normal, but the evil people have not been caught yet'" Would it be better at this point?"

"That's true..." Ammon nodded subconsciously, but then he realized something was wrong: "But if the evildoers are not punished, there will be more good things..."

Su Zhou on the stage responded simply: "Of course I will not let the evildoers go unpunished. I just want to tell you that compared to punishment, the most important thing is protection and making the world a better place."

"The purpose of punishment is to make those who hold back civilization die, to make those who have not yet committed crimes fear crime, and then move towards the path of good - this is a force that needs to be controlled! Rather than saying that when you meet someone like you If you don’t like something, just use the violence of the majority to destroy it without even thinking about it!”

"The purpose of punishment and judgment has never been destruction! Things that are destroyed can no longer do good!"

But after saying these words, Su Zhou himself was stunned.

"——Yes." He thought: "The reason why I have always taken it as my duty to eradicate evil is just because I want to."

"The Demon Imperial Master of the Divine Tree World, the Water God of the Reincarnation World, the leaders of the Seance, the King of Divine Beasts of the Beast God Realm...those monsters, no matter what their reasons are, as long as they are alive, others will An existence that cannot survive.”

"The magical power of the Demon Devouring Lord comes from this - if I think an existence is evil, then it is evil. If I kill the other person, I will be very happy."

But... this kind of thinking logic is actually very straightforward and simple.

If you just kill 'the evil people you consider' just for your own happiness, then in the final analysis, you and the group in front of you are just for your own happiness, so you ask the Lord of Judgement to punish an ordinary person who is an 'unbeliever'. What's the difference?

In this world, with the existence of the Lord of Judgment, everyone is a demon-eating lord.

Everyone is using his own heart to judge the good and evil of another person.

To put it bluntly, for the people of fire and wind, unbelievers are absolutely evil! Even if the magical power of the Demon Devouring Lord is given to them, they will definitely be able to capture the evil souls by killing unbelievers!

Moreover, the quality of evil spirits will be very high, because the curses of many believers against unbelievers are so strong that they do not need the other party to be evil to be sure that the other party is indeed evil.

"The core of the demon-devouring Lord's magical power... is based on these. The essence of these people's thinking is actually no different from that of me before. It's no wonder that they are my followers."

"So, if I deny them here now... doesn't it mean that before, I was..."

"it is wrong?"

in personal space.

The little red snake entrenched on the wisdom tree seemed to be able to travel through space, staring at Su Zhou, who was looking confused and confused.

The snake spirit chuckled, smiling happily.

—How, my Covenant? Feeling that your ‘path’ is ‘wrong’?

Delicious? Confused? Painful? Do you feel like everything you have done before has been negated?

However, this is your unique privilege as a ‘strong person’!

"A loser is not qualified to admit that he is a 'mistake'. A loser can improve his own correctness, but cannot admit his own mistakes, because if he admits it, he will lose the courage to face reality and will no longer be able to deal with suffering. The result is that he will endure greater suffering."

"Su Zhou, my covenant holder, it is precisely because you have come victorious all the way, and precisely because you have defeated all your enemies, that now you have the luxury of being able to admit that you were a 'mistake'. "

"You fell now, but you are still above the loser. You are in pain now, but it is just a struggle before breaking out of the cocoon."

And this is your trial!

at the same time.

Sunset City, Square.

"this……"

Hearing Su Zhou's words, Aimeng suddenly fell into a daze.

He looked helplessly at the little unbeliever girl behind Su Zhou - to be honest, she still disgusted him.

As long as he thinks that the other party may not keep his promise or believe in God, the priest will have an instinctive desire to destroy, just like he wants to crush cockroaches, swat mosquitoes to death, and clean up the dirty things. He just hates that.

However, if you empty your mind, take a serious look, and simply look at the past... the other person is just a teenage girl, her granddaughter.

——What if this little girl doesn’t disbelieve in God from her heart, but simply because she has never been exposed to God’s grace, so she doesn’t know that there is such a thing as belief in God?

Just like babies, babies have no faith at first, not because they are born with original sin, but because they do not yet know what evil is and what is good.

Kind of, similar. He suddenly thought of this.

Just like my own family that was wronged in the past...

At that time, even though I had done nothing, I was regarded as an apostate by default, and I was almost about to accept the verdict and die. If a judge had not insisted on finding out the truth, I am afraid that my fate would be the same as that of this little girl. No different.

Perhaps, indeed - we should determine whether the other party is evil and whether he believes in the Lord, and then judge and decide...

Ammon fell into thinking.

Su Zhou exhaled a little irritably, turned his head and looked at the others.

Su Zhou could sense that Aimeng's heart was still struggling with the pointless point of whether to believe or not.

However, it is already good to be able to start to reflect and dare to stand up and ask questions to oneself.

But unfortunately, in other people's hearts, he didn't feel anything that could be called 'feelings'.

Everyone was still kneeling on the ground, constantly worshiping themselves.

Su Zhou could see, in the distance, ordinary people coming from all over the city, the priests coming from the port temple, and the fishermen coming from the dock. They all approached the square where they were feverishly, and then began to worship him. .

They don't listen to what they say. They just assume that they are right without thinking about why they are right.

Even if they say that they don’t need to take medicine when a vicious plague spreads because ‘it’s just a common cold,’ I’m afraid they will believe it.

"...Why is this happening..."

Because he realized his mistake, he clenched his fists in frustration.

The blind faith followed by all the believers present made the young man even more intolerable.

Su Zhou waited for a few more minutes. He was waiting for someone to stand up and question him like Aimeng, questioning why he did this——

But still nothing.

Compared with these, they are more willing to continue to kneel down and show that they are more pious than others.

"Stop kneeling!" Get up! "

On the trial stage, Su Zhou once again announced to everyone, with a stern tone.

Su Zhou was not usually such an impatient person, but now, perhaps because he realized that he was wrong, he felt particularly impatient at this time.

But most people just raised their heads in confusion - they didn't know why God asked them to do this, and they still didn't dare to stand up.

So in the end, Su Zhou gave up the explanation.

He was also tired of others bowing to him—to the wrong version of himself.

——Buzz——

Su Zhou closed his eyes, and then, invisible soul fluctuations began to center on it, like water patterns, and began to spread in all directions.

All the people touched by this wave, except Aimeng, all fainted.

For a time, the entire square, with more than 50,000 people, fell into a coma in an instant.

No one was injured, and Su Zhou's power ensured that everyone was safely unconscious in place - they would wake up ten minutes later, and Su Zhou would have already left by then.

And at this moment, Su Zhou suddenly felt that a chain binding his personal space was shattered.

The golden chain formed by the condensed power of the wish dissipated, it collapsed, turned into light fragments in the soul space, and finally dissolved into the void and became invisible.

Just like before, Su Zhou refused to provide wish power to the power demanding judgment. This chain of wish power did not really disappear, but it changed the direction of the link, and the link moved to the other end of the spiritual world. In addition, A huge existence.

Perhaps, this is where the real ‘Lord of Judgment’ lies.

There is no doubt that Su Zhou has now found a way to clear these chains of wishes - as long as he continues to walk in this world, ignore the prayers and expectations of many Lord of Judgement believers in this world, and let everyone By placing his will on the Lord of Judgment, he can easily gain freedom.

——But, can you give up?

Su Zhou opened his eyes and looked silently at the rows of unconscious people... Yes, the blind obedience of these people was indeed infuriating, and even communication was difficult.

But do you want Su Zhou to give up on them? Allow these people to continue this kind of judgment, continue this kind of tyranny of the majority, continue to live a life bound by religious covenants under countless commandments?

How can it be!

"I will not give up on you. You are all my people with my blood."

With such a whisper, Su Zhou turned around. He was about to untie the Wind People girl from the cross and take her away. His tone was a little low: "But what should we do?"

"Anyway, let's go find Elias first. He is competent as the Lord of Fire, but I'm afraid he is a little too competent..."

But at this moment, Aimeng's voice came,

"Wait a minute, my lord!"

It was a rare voice, with a hint of surprise, but also a hint of anger and questioning: "My lord, why?!"

Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the only priest who had not been knocked unconscious by him. He was also the only priest who questioned him. The young man spoke softly: "Why, Ammon? If you have any questions, you can just ask." .”

Facing his Lord and God, Ammon opened his mouth first, took a step forward, and then said with some difficulty: "My Lord, if you are not my God..."

"No, it is precisely because you are my god that I feel shocked!"

Saying this, the gray-haired priest stretched out his hand. He pointed with trembling fingers at all the unconscious people present, and then looked at Su Zhou. Aimeng and Su Zhou looked at each other.

The cyan dragon eyes and the cyan dragon eyes looked at each other. The successor of the blood of judgment looked at the originator of the blood of judgment.

Then, question it.

"My Lord, you can obviously spend time to convince everyone that you are God, you are our Lord, our refuge, and you are our truth. If you want to tell us some difficult concept, then We will study hard."

Having said this, Ammon put down his hand. He lowered his head feebly and murmured to himself: "Why do you have to give up teaching us...Are we really going to let you down like this?"

"We have obviously been following your way and want to walk on the path of righteousness... If you are dissatisfied, why don't you point it out?"

"You clearly said just now, 'Killing us without teaching us is cruelty.' So why didn't you choose to educate us instead of just taking action and making everyone faint?"

"Why?"

The priest muttered to himself, but could not get an answer, and fell into great depression.

He clasped his hands together and bent his knees, as if he wanted to bow to Su Zhou, just like he always prayed to God when he was confused.

However, just like every time.

When Ammon wanted to kneel down, an invisible force held him up, forcing him to stand.

"Why……"

Then, he heard the Lord’s calm and slightly apologetic reply: “It’s because I was wrong.”

Aimeng raised his head in astonishment and looked at Su Zhou. He saw that the young man lowered his head. He looked around apologetically at everyone present, and then sighed: "I'm sorry, Aimeng, I was wrong. "

"I really shouldn't be so impatient... Yes, I clearly said just now that punishing someone without teaching them is cruelty, but the next moment, I didn't do it myself."

"Although it was because I was not very emotionally stable at that time, you are right, I shouldn't do this."

After saying this, Su Zhou shook his head slightly. He looked at Aimeng who didn't know how to answer, and whispered: "So, my apostle must learn to question, right?"

"Everyone can be wrong...even God."

When he said this, Su Zhou was silent for a moment. He did not notice the shocked expression of the priest in front of him because he admitted that he was wrong.

He was lost in thought.

Then, the young man suddenly laughed.

"Haha, that's right. Even God can make mistakes."

At first, Su Zhou sneered softly, aiming at his own sarcasm.

But soon, his laughter became louder and louder, so full of joy: "Haha, indeed, even great beings make mistakes - the entire multiverse is the seal of their existence!"

"In that case, why should I pretend to be a gentleman and a philosopher king who never makes mistakes?"

"If you're wrong, you're wrong. There's nothing to be sad about, nothing to be anxious about - can't I just improve next time?"

Slowly putting away his smile, Su Zhou's expression became solemn. He raised his hand, stared at his palm, then made a fist and said to himself in a deep voice: "I am wrong now, and I will be wrong again in the future."

"That's it, I'm going to keep making mistakes, keep making mistakes. And at the same time, keep improving, keep improving!"

——Beyond yourself and constantly surpass yourself.

——Find out your own mistakes, explore your own possibilities, and explore the boundaries ahead.

Then, he raised his head, and Su Zhou looked around at the reincarnation world of this new era, this beautiful world, but with too many fallacies and distortions.

Then, he looked up at the sky, and his eyes seemed to be able to travel through the spiritual world and see the God of Judgment on the other side.

——He never cultivates good deeds in his life, he only loves killing people and setting fires.

The limit of the Demon Devouring Lord lies here.

It is a magical power that can only be used by individuals, a "magic magical power" that can be freely realized and replace the heart of heaven with one's own heart.

Holding him and its existence, if it is a person, then he can naturally be happy with his grudges and implement the justice in his heart.

The strong man cuts the world with his sword and rectifies the evil in the world. This was Su Zhou's wish in the past.

However, if it is a society or a civilization, it will never be possible to progress based on this concept.

It was precisely because Su Zhou knew that he was just a demon-devouring Lord with a free mind that he understood that if he really wanted to make all the evil in this world disappear and let goodness and love, correctness and progress permeate every place in the world. corner, then everyone cannot be a demon-devouring master, and everyone can freely prove it.

There must be a benchmark, a criterion.

One... [Correct].

"And what is my right?"

So he said to himself, and then Su Zhou shook his head indifferently: "It's not too late to find this kind of thing slowly. Anyway, I have realized my mistake now - failure is the mother of success. In the same way, if the awareness is not Even when I am wrong, I cannot find the right.”

"Isn't that right, Yara?"

"yes."

At this moment, the red snake spirit appeared on the young man's shoulder without knowing when.

He nodded happily and praised:

"Just like when you first awakened the magical power of the Demon Devouring Lord, you accepted yourself as a bad person so quickly... You are still the same now, you can still accept your mistakes so quickly."

Yala chuckled and replied, with great emotion: "It is precisely because of this, precisely because of your nature, that you are watched by many great beings. The same is true for Lord Shanti, Destiny, Pioneer, and even me. .”

"But they are all wrong, Yara, including you."

To this, Su Zhou calmly replied: "At least it's not completely correct, and I'm afraid I can't find a 'completely correct' path."

"Yeah, and I'm different from them. They want you to be them."

Saying this, Yala shook her head slightly as she rested her head on Su Zhou's shoulders: "And I just want you to be you."

"Very good, now it's time to take action - the plan remains unchanged, I want to go to Elias first and ask what is going on in the world and how he designed the order."

"Then ask this kid how he came up with such a Lord of Judgment."

At this moment, Aimeng had been in a state of confusion after hearing Su Zhou frankly admitting that he was wrong.

"God, admit you were wrong?"

He was a little at a loss, as if he had heard something weird.

"How could it be? If God is not right, then is it possible that the covenants, beliefs, and even everything we have are all wrong?"

He struggled to grasp the concept. Believers have always had a hard time understanding this kind of thing.

So, Ammon stared blankly at the Lord, laughed, and talked to himself. He stared at the Lord when a small red snake suddenly appeared on his shoulder. He stared at the Lord untying the girl from the wind people on the cross behind him, and then let him go. The other party was floating in mid-air, following behind him.

And finally, he saw the Lord raising his hand towards him and making a "come closer" gesture.

"What are you waiting for, Ammon."

He heard the Lord say: "Come with me—if you will, follow me, a fallible god."

"Then follow."

No words were spoken.

The expression of the gray-haired priest gradually changed from confusion to relief, and from relief to calmness.

Then, from calm to firm.

Then, he raised his steps and stepped forward, gradually increasing his speed.

Amon followed the figure.

"The Lord is not right."

He thought so in his heart. It seemed like something was breaking, like a pillar in my heart suddenly collapsed and disappeared suddenly.

However, another strange feeling emerged from the deepest part of my heart and turned into a new pillar.

"But...so what?"

At least, he could already confirm the Lord’s goodness, the Lord’s strength, the Lord’s faith, and the Lord’s will to admit his mistakes.

These are all true things.

And doubters will always follow the incorrect ones.

Witnesses, waiting.

The day he became right.

——At the same time, the sea coast is full of joy.

Just at the end of the day of judgment in Twilight City.

A pirate ship with a strange flag was slowly approaching in the wind and waves.

Ah, the preliminary plot is over. Alas, it was a bit long to write, but I speeded up and finished it without delay.

Although a bit late, this is the third update from yesterday.
