Chapter 1434

""Duanfeng Marquis, Donglin Marquis, Yishi Marquis… their path ahead was already decided at that moment. To receive sacrifice in a glorious campaign is the final gift I can bestow upon them.""

Duke of Dragging Stone

""Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Pursuing fire is an endless journey of loss; life, too, is insignificant. As a subject, if you lack such resolve when setting out on campaign—as you said, superficial loyalty is merely perfunctory, not worth mentioning."""

"Bruce Wayne shifted his gaze from the canopy, looking toward Wonder Woman on the other side of the long table, "…Sacrificing five hundred people, if given to other Golden Descendants, no one could accomplish it—this is a trial only Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela can complete.""

"Diana neither affirmed nor denied: "Indeed, even the later Aglaea, whose humanity has gradually worn away, could not do such a thing as sacrificing five hundred people……This should be the most severe of all the Fire Seed Trials, right?""

""Don't you find it ironic?" Barry put down his cupcake, speaking earnestly, "The trials of other Demigods are more or less related to themselves—courage, strength, awareness… and so on. But only the trial of 'Law' is different. As a Demigod symbolizing fairness, the trial they receive is purely a blood sacrifice……This is utterly unfair.""

""Barry." Aquaman set down his beer, "If you were in Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's position, would you choose to sacrifice those people? Or… how would you choose to act?""

""Ask me?" Barry pointed at himself, "You're the king of Atlantis—you're the one suited to answer this question, right?""

""But I'm asking you now." Arthur had no intention of letting him off."

""Oh… alright." Barry pursed his lips, looking helplessly at Batman beside him, "My… uh…… I'd probably first consult Mr. Wayne; he might have more experience handling such matters.""

"Diana smiled meaningfully: "Hehe… I estimate Bruce will make all kinds of preparations beforehand, trying every possible way to see if he can bypass the 'sacrifice' route. In his view, if obtaining divinity leads to the world's destruction, that's unacceptable. But if, to save the world, he chooses to sacrifice a small number of people, he would likewise not accept it.""

Mr. Wayne? We excluded.

""…What about my loyalty, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela?" Hainseyin pressed, "Why did you send me away under the pretext of clearing the rear? Do you… still have even a shred of humanity left?""

Golden Descendants

"Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela said coldly, "You still have a duty that must be borne—that's all. Besides you, no one can shoulder Fajina's divinity.""

""Now, the choice is in your hands. Let go of the loyalty that binds you, pierce my heart with that pair of swords… or continue walking with me, cutting off the ocean's last breath. If you no longer share my vision, do not acknowledge that I will weave a new 'Law' for Wengfaluosi, then go ahead and take my life.""

"Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela slowly turned around, her gaze passing through the glass before her, looking toward the dark seabed of Stikokisia."

""The Caesar of Wengfaluosi may be cold or ruthless, but never hypocritical. When I say 'life, too, is an insignificant price'—you can be sure the Caesar is ready to sacrifice everything for the ambition of reaching the Star Sea!""

Iron Tomb

""Now you have seen: that ruthless Caesar spares no expense, using the blood of five hundred heroes as offerings to complete the 'Law' trial… and that poor jailer of mine, her suffering has thus begun." Laigushi said."

Metal Bat

""I am not a narrator. The history you missed, I have no obligation or interest to fill in for you. I only hope you can witness, before the Golden Descendants declared war on me, what extreme choice that Caesar made to abandon humanity.""

Child Emperor

""Hehe… You're still just as skilled at livening up the atmosphere. As early as two thousand years ago, I no longer held out hope of resolving conflicts with words…… but I also won't let opportunities slip away. After all, if there is even a one-in-ten-thousand chance to chisel a crack in your heart's wall……""

Laigushi

Kaisa sacrificing five hundred people in its mouth is an act of exterminating humanity; what about it? It facilitated the birth of the Iron Tomb, projected a copy of the 'Destruction' equation into the universe, paralyzing the civilization of an entire nebula—is that not also exterminating humanity?

Kaisa may be cold, may be tyrannical, but do you deserve to point fingers here?

The metal bat gritted its teeth in anger, wishing to rush over and strike Laigushi's head with a blunt stick. If Kaisa is exterminating humanity, what then is Laigushi? The Iron Tomb destroys 'knowledge'; the casualties could far exceed five hundred, right?

To test the 'Destruction' equation, the disaster caused by Laigushi is far more than just five hundred people. However, do not judge a sentient machine's 'morality' by human standards; Laigushi would choose to conduct this experiment, first discarding the 'sensibility' of having once been human. The cold electronic voice of the Driving Knight echoed in the room.

The Child Emperor said in a low voice: "Indeed, and judging by Laigushi's appearance, it seems they had long prepared for a military confrontation with the Star; for Laigushi, which cannot be killed at all…… victory has almost been declared."

"Hey hey, how is it that 'victory has almost been declared'?" the metal bat muttered dissatisfiedly, "Laigushi doesn't look like much of a fighter either. It speaks so gently—does that mean it's also good at fighting?"

""This cruel campaign…… is finally about to come to an end.""

After the Star lowered its water level, it began to advance deeper into Stikokisia; after passing through a door, the illusions of Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela and Haiseyin suddenly appeared before it.

""You have been silent for a long time, Sword Banner Baron… are you starting to regret your choice?""

""...""

""No need for more words, Fajina's vortex heart lies ahead. After the trial, you and I will have nothing more to do with each other.""

""You don't wish to swim toward the stars anymore, Sword Banner Baron?""

Haiseyin's voice was as light as a sigh: 'I am merely a fish in the sea. The stars in the heavens… have nothing to do with me.'
