People on earth often struggle with the issue of "justice or not". For example, a doctor who saves lives faces a villain who needs treatment; for example, demolishing a poor man's house in a fire to prevent the fire from spreading; for example, sacrificing an innocent person. To save another innocent person... This kind of problem is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the bad guys, but it always troubles those kind-hearted people with compassion.
But in this world, this kind of entanglement is unnecessary.
Want to know what justice is and isn’t? Just ask the God of Justice.
Joel Gardman is the God of Justice. With his priesthood, he can directly communicate with the origin of the world and determine the justice of things.
This kind of justice is not based on His own judgment, but a judgment made based on the induction of the origin of the world. In other words, if it is not "absolute" justice, it is at least justice for "the entire world."
For Sui Xiong, justice in the entire world is enough.
Neither humans nor orcs stand on the side of justice, so at least he does not have to bear any moral burden.
This allowed him to put down his biggest burden and look at the upcoming war with a relatively calm and indifferent attitude.
Regarding the God of War's speech and the judgment of the God of Justice, most of the gods agreed and supported it, but some frowned, obviously disapproving of it.
Most of them are gods closely related to the human pantheon or the orc pantheon, so they naturally hope that the side they support can win.
Mask of the Void is the "strongest" contender among the powerful gods at present, and has a group of powerful allies and subordinates. Once he joins the war, the end of the war can almost be declared - whether it is the human pantheon or the orc pantheon. No matter what, they can never stop the opponent with the help of the Void God System.
So both sides naturally hope that he can help them, or at least not help their enemies.
It's just that the two sides' approaches are different. The orc pantheon chose to ask Sui Xiong for help, while the human pantheon seemed to want to pretend that nothing had happened and not involve him.
Of course, as things have developed to this point, the approach of the human pantheon seems to have failed.
As for whether the orc god system can succeed, that is another matter.
After hearing Joel Gardman's judgment, Sui Xiong was silent for a moment, then looked at the gods: "I wonder if anyone has any objections to the judgments of these two people?"
The gods were silent, no one spoke.
Sui Xiong smiled and added: "Although it is certain that both sides are unjust, this does not prevent us from supporting and helping one of them. Who do you think I should support and help?"
"I think humans should be supported." The first person to speak was the Goddess of Joy. The main god of the Forgotten God System looked around at the gods before continuing, "From the perspective of civilization development, humans have obviously surpassed the orcs. Void Fake Your Majesty’s vocation is development and progress, and you should side with the more progressive side.”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, feeling that what the goddess of joy said made sense.
Since this battle has nothing to do with justice, there is no need to consider the issue from a moral perspective. Since morality is not considered, of course one should help the progressive forces.
Compared with the orcs who are still stuck in the era of tribal civilization, humans who have developed into feudal dynasties and even entered quasi-capital society in many places are indeed a more progressive party.
However, there are also gods who have put forward opposite opinions, such as the "Iron Lion" Morani, the main god of the wild pantheon. He said: "I think that before considering progress and development, we should first consider peace. Only with peace can there be progress and development. If His Majesty the Mask of the Void declares, 'If humans attack the orcs, help the orcs resist the invasion', this will It is very likely that the war will not be fought. If we can achieve peace, wouldn't it be more conducive to promoting social development and progress?"
Sui Xiong nodded again. He felt that this statement made sense.
If you help humans, you will still have to fight anyway. As a passive party, the orcs cannot withdraw from the main plane directly. They will have to fight and lose before they have no choice but to retreat.
And if I help the orcs, since the human side can't win, they probably won't fight this war again...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He had seen the cruel scenes on the battlefield after the battle on "The Day the Sun Dies". If war could be avoided, it would of course be the best.
But before he could think about it, the God of War spoke: "Peace is more conducive to promoting social development and progress? I don't agree with this!"
He smiled, the light on his hand flickered, and scenes emerged.
"I once counted that most of the progress and inventions in the world appeared in the war years. It is precisely because of the needs of war that people are driven to work hard to research better, more efficient, and more useful means. Why do humans Relative progress? It’s precisely because they have been at war all these years. And why are the elves progressing the slowest? Because they always stick to the ancient forest and rarely come out, let alone join the war. "
"Of course everyone knows that in order for a person to become a strong person, he needs to go through a lot of hard training. So, what is the motivation that motivates him to practice hard every day regardless of hard work or even pain? Maybe there are some reasons. But the most fundamental reason is not to fight, to win the battle?"
He paused for a moment and then said: "I know you will find all kinds of reasons for fighting, but I don't need it. I am the God of War. For me, war, fighting... these things are their own meaning. .I don’t care about the ultimate goal of war, I only care about the benefits that war can bring.”
"What's the good of having corpses lying all over the field and rivers of blood?" the goddess of family frowned and said.
"Through war, the weak are eliminated, and the stronger and better ones are screened out. This is true for individuals, and it is also true for collectives." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the God of War, revealing an awe-inspiring aura, "Sheep eat grass, wolves eat grass. Eating poplars, tigers eating wolves, monsters eating tigers... It is through such bloody struggles that nature constantly eliminates unsuitable and backward populations and breeds better populations that are more suitable for this world."
"That is nature!" said the goddess of joy. "We are gods, but we cannot put ourselves on the level of plants or animals."
"Is there any difference?" The God of War laughed, "Don't tell me that your priesthood is achieved by farming! Don't tell us that you have honestly never fought with anyone in these years! If not After winning every war, do you have the fate to sit here?"
"We can grow from mortal beings to gods, and we can still sit upright in the Pantheon today. Isn't it because of wars again and again!"
For a moment, all the gods were speechless.
