After remaining silent for a while, Lucier finally spoke:
"To this day, I still recognize that status as the embodiment of the code and the supreme being that nourishes all things in the world."
“I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
Her voice was filled with genuine reverence, and she still had the highest respect for the sun god.
"but-...
Listening to her gradually declining voice, Herbert knew that the turning point had come!
"But I don't agree with the definition of evil."
"We shouldn't move towards absolute justice."
"It wasn't me who betrayed, it was -.-."
The fallen angel spoke the blasphemous words calmly, there was no anger in his expression, only indifference after everything calmed down.
"After turning away from nature, it changes.'
"He began to promote the ideas of the gods of justice and put them into practice."
"Kill the evil god, destroy the evil god's kingdom—" I can accept all of this, and I am willing to become a sharp blade that pierces the enemy."
"But then -- gradually it changed."
In the Aurora Sanctuary, the fallen angel told the mortal boy a history that few people knew.
"Sun God, lost himself."
This sentence is extremely funny just by sounding.
But Herbert could not laugh at all.
Because he knew it was the truth.
“I became stronger and stronger, but I also gradually forgot my original intention.”
"But it's too extreme to tolerate even the slightest bit of evil."
"Evil threatens justice, and evil people harm innocent people."
"So - they must be eliminated in advance."
"The followers of evil gods, evil mortals, and even evil bloodlines - all lives that have any connection with evil should be destroyed and purified by the wrath of the sun."
"His church, we angels, faithfully carry out his orders and implement his will."
"But I forgot that there can't be no evil in this world."
When he said this, the fallen angel's eyes slightly opened for a moment, and then closed again with regret.
"During that hundred years known as the Burning Sun Disaster, the order of the entire world was in chaos."
"Countless people died because of his justice."
"Some of those who died were indeed evil, but many more were innocent."
"And at that moment, is justice really justice?"
Herbert was also somewhat silent.
I'm afraid not.
Evil should indeed be limited.
But is it really completely right
I'm afraid not.
Too much is as bad as too little.
Justice that is too extreme and sharp will not only fail to protect justice, but will hurt innocent people.
Moreover, the real problem lies not in the idea of the sun god, but in the practice.
It was too hasty, too rough, and a little too extreme.
His judgment of evil was too broad, and even some things that were not evil were identified as needing to be eliminated.
"It was during that century, in the midst of confusion, that I suddenly had my own ideas - ideas that were unique to me."
Angels are machines of God and should not have such thoughts.
But Lucille was different. She walked her own path and came to her own conclusion:
"Where there is light, there is shadow. Under the light, there must be shadow."
“And this, not even the sun that shines on the world can change.”
"Not all evil should be completely eradicated."
She said:
"Evil should also have its own place."
"So - I chose to betray."
"Not long after that, with the joint efforts of many gods, some of their sanity was restored, some of their teachings were revised, and they became more restrained."
After Lucier finished telling this secret history, Herbert was completely speechless.
He fully understood why Bai Luxier made such a choice.
The monster girl in front of me is more like an ultimate saint than a fallen angel.
In her eyes, all life has its own value.
You say she is so depraved, but she is not that depraved.
Her fall is the acceptance of everything.
Including evil, all are within the scope of her protection.
This idea is definitely not normal.
At this time, Herbert suddenly thought of a key question and asked, "By the way, in your opinion,
How should we deal with evil? "
The fallen angel answered quickly, as if he had already thought about this question countless times:
“No need to do anything.”
"Under the shock of extreme strength, there is no need to actively eliminate it. Evil will naturally make its own choice."
"It's enough to wait until they jump out on their own and then purify them. There's no need to actively look for them."
Herbert:
Right, is that right
good.
The case is solved.
Lucier was indeed an angel created by the sun god.
The sun god was not normal and she was also very sick.
It’s not as extreme as Apollo, but it’s really just a little bit off.
They usually leave it alone, and then strike with force as soon as there's wind of something - sting operation, right
After this answer, Herbert didn't know what to complain about.
He shook his head and asked another question.
"Then how did you survive your betrayal?"
Lucier's answer to this question is:
"He - didn't punish me."
Herbert:
Chapter 185 Creating Demand (4/6 plus 26)
"You mean, the Sun God didn't react to your betrayal?"
"Yes."
"Um???"
After repeatedly confirming the same answer, Herbert's mind was full of question marks.
Is the Sun God so good-tempered
Aren’t you angry about this
That's not right!
In those classics, the sun god has never been a good-tempered god.
His personality is as hot and violent as the midday sun, and he is a person who easily goes to extremes.
It was okay when he was in the natural god system, because he was suppressed by the Lord of Nature and did not go to extremes.
But later, as his strength grew, fewer and fewer people could suppress him, and he eventually became the creator of the Scorching Sun Disaster.
Lucier was also somewhat confused about this.
"Maybe it's because of the timing?"
"When?"
Lucier shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"After I blinded the incarnation's left eye, he didn't kill me on the spot. He just tore off my wings and took away all the authority I had obtained from them."
"But just when I thought I would perish completely, the incarnation disappeared."
"Later I learned that at that time the gods had just invaded his kingdom, forcing him to restrain his extreme behavior. He had no extra energy to deal with an insignificant fallen creature like me."
Is the timing just such a coincidence
Herbert also frowned. Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it seemed reasonable.
"And then what?"
Just because I didn't have the time or energy then, doesn't mean I won't have it later, right
“After that, no one came to deal with me.
The fallen angel shook his head, exuding a sense of loneliness: "For such a great being, a traitorous waste like me is not worthy of being remembered at all."
Lucier explained it this way, but Herbert felt that there might be some secrets behind it.
Just ignore it
The majesty of the gods cannot be offended.
And what Lucier did was more than just anger.
Any of these actions would be enough to cause her death countless times.
But in the end, the Sun God chose to ignore it and expressed his disdain in this way
Is this really reasonable
While Herbert was stroking his chin and thinking, Lucier observed him for a long time, finally made up his mind and slowly said:
"And this is actually what I want to ask of you."
"Child, I—"
But before she could utter her request, Herbert raised his hand, interrupted her, and said in a peevish tone:
"Wait a minute, I am younger than you, but could you please stop calling me kid all the time?"
You are indeed big, in every way.
But can you please respect me
