"How should we decide?"
Everyone is watching me, it seems that my decision will determine the fate of this world... Well, this is the truth, my current decision can indeed affect Ashe's fate.
In addition to the math test, I am afraid that it is difficult for the world to have a completely correct choice. While getting some benefits, naturally, it will also lose some of the equivalent.
I have to choose...
At this time, all eyes are on, ambiguity is the only option, and I have already made a decision.
Cavens looked at me excitedly, as if he had seen something.
"This is the underworld, just follow the rules of the underworld. The two goddesses are obviously unpardonable, but there are some differences..."
I struggled to organize the words, trying to make the favoritism less obvious.
"In another world, intentional homicide is obviously a capital crime, and negligently causing the death of others is only sentenced to seven or eight years at most. The result of both parties is one thing, but maliciousness is the core mechanism for judging guilt. Cynthia's death penalty is inevitable, As for Asteria, let him be imprisoned for life, and I will be responsible for imprisoning her until the end of the world."
Cavens made no secret of his disappointment. What he longed for was not this answer.
"You trust that woman so much?"
"Well, I trust her more than I trust you."
Yes, the judgment of the law is on the one hand, it is only a reference, and the real decision is still my personal subjective opinion.
I trust Asteria, so I expect her to live, but will there be any trouble in the future? I went the wrong way back then. Adam and Margaret imprisoned me for more than a hundred years. Now, in order to prevent Asteria from doing anything unpleasant, they imprisoned her.
"Since the Soul Tower can be used to separate souls, it can also be strengthened. I can guarantee with my soul that she will not have a day of freedom."
Could the jihad get out of hand after Cynthia's death? Even if she is alive, she is already out of control. To end this holy war and let the fate of the world be destroyed in the battle between two goddesses, the goddess of creation must fall. Since I have decided to let Asteria To live, naturally let Cynthia die.
And to favor order on the basis of neutrality, this is also the strategy I have discussed with Iyer.
As for the mother? I just pretended that I didn't hear it. My parents in my previous life were on Earth, and my parents in this life died more than 300 years ago. Are they all their children? I didn't see her having any maternal love.
We were just created by her own hands, and as a result, endless misfortunes were arranged, and when I thought about the ruined country of Lan and my biological parents, I didn't even have the last bit of affection.
And Cavens was upset and made no secret of his dissatisfaction. The answer he longed for was not this.
"Asteria is trustworthy? Have you forgotten the fate of the God of Light? In a sense, Carolan is also our common brother, but she was deceived by that woman into a tool to give up herself. You Do you want to step into the same fate?"
Hearing this, I laughed, at least in some ways, I was completely different from Cavens.
"Put my own guilt and regret on others, and I am relieved? I don't have this habit. Asteria may have given me advice and even subconsciously induced me. But I have come to this point, every step I take. It's my own choice, maybe I will regret and suffer for the past disasters, but I am stupid enough to deny my past, and I will not be so weak that I blame others."
After a pause, the memories of the past emerged in front of my eyes. Although most of them were painful past events, there was nothing to regret. Even if everything happened again, it would probably be no different.
"My life is the path I choose by myself. I have eyes, brains, hands and feet. I can see and think. Even if others give me advice and guidance on my life, it is my decision in the end. I don't know what happened to Carolan back then, and I don't want to know, at least I think Asteria is trustworthy, and she didn't hurt me, that's enough."
Yes, say a thousand words and ten thousand, everything can be an excuse, just because I trust her.
Accompanying me for more than 300 years, Asteria (system) has always used guidance to help me. When I was a paladin, she was the shining paladin training system. When I fell into darkness, she gave me It's evil points, I tried to reverse my fate, but I turned into fate points, it's not that she is pulling my fate, it's that I am changing "her"
I can guess, maybe she deliberately disguised herself as a system without self, hoping that it would not affect my judgment too much, and the place where she really guided me is probably only the pursuit of power, the matter of Hades, It would not have been possible without her help.
I can also guess what happened back then. In a sense, I would like to thank the existence of Cavens. The blood of the abyss will be attracted by the abyss, and the whispers of the abyss will never stop. Carolan, the son of the abyss, is afraid every day and night. It is not surprising that after listening to the whispers of demons for several hours, it is not surprising that such a decision could not be endured in the end. Countless bloodlines of the abyss, including Eliza and Cavins, eventually entered the abyss.
And I didn't hear the voice of the abyss. No matter how I looked at it, it was the help of Cavens in front of me. He occupied most of the blood of the abyss and attracted Cynthia's attention. If the "system" let Cynthia go, nothing happened. This speechless twin split should be Roland, the prince of the abyss in "history".
[… thanks.]
The long silence finally turned into a thank you. I know that she is not thanking me for not killing her, but thanking me for trusting her.
"No need to thank, there is no sincerity in verbal thanks, remember to promise each other with your body. By the way, since that's the case, what's the matter with that daily task, the epic task can also be understood as a lot of power of destiny brought about by a major turning point of fate, Daily quests are annoying and trivial. You shouldn't get anything from dailies."
[Your existence is about to break the fate, those powers will increase with time, as for those daily tasks, don't you think it is very creative and interesting, and it is very suitable to pass the time?]
I immediately became furious, and wanted to take back the few trusts that I had. This guy has been tricking me for hundreds of years, just for fun
[It’s not just to pit you, although it’s really interesting to see you unlucky… Well, at least I’ll find a reason to give you points. If I tell you that you can increase your income by doing nothing, you’re not lazy and become a pig, Staying at home every day without going out? If you stay at home for a long time, your psychology will become very dark and dark. Look at the brother in front of you, isn't it an obvious example.]
"I… "
Looking at Cavens, who was getting more and more anxious, and thinking of those lichs who went crazy because of staying home for a long time, I suddenly felt that this sounded reasonable, but I couldn't refute it at all. Could this child really be staying home for a long time, and people? Too little contact, more and more withdrawn, and perverted
"To shut up!"
It is not known who Cavins' anger was directed at. He paced back and forth, pinching his head from time to time. Obviously, the situation was abnormal. Now that the matter has been put on the bright side, Cynthia's doomsday is coming, my side In his head, the wind was still calm, and there was probably already a quarrel in him.
Cavins covered his right eye, lowered his head and gasped for breath, obviously not in a good state. Looking through his fingers, his right eye was full of bright red bloodshots, and the pupils that had become vertical were full of killing intent and Angry, growling and rolling in the throat, as if suppressing something.
"Ha... trust? You'll regret it!"
"Oh, no, have you ever seen me regret it? If someone really deceived me, I would admit it, call me stupid, call me greedy, and then try to get revenge back. I regret something, but I can't change anything. It's just making yourself uncomfortable."
Facing the murderous Cavans, I didn't care at all, shrugged my shoulders, but felt more relaxed.
I didn't pretend to be calm, my heart was more relaxed than my face, and the bottom line of the negotiation proposed by Cavens was very clear - kill Cynthia and let the abyss be free.
Now that I have agreed to this condition, we have already negotiated. As for other things, the cost of not discussing is not important, just consider it as a relationship between brothers... Perhaps, this is also the last chance to communicate face-to-face.
"...My head is about to explode, this crazy woman is crazy, when will it start, get rid of her, I can finally get a good night's sleep."
I shrugged helplessly, I also wanted to hurry up, but...
"Don't you want the Tower of Death to split the soul? This job is not easy, I can't do it, let's talk about it when Ayer has enough sleep."
The four pillars each have their own duties, and the normal operation is enough to run automatically. Splitting the soul of the God of Creation is not something that can be done by letting it run on its own.
If Ayer doesn't wake up? Then wait, but I think with Ayer's background, he should be the first Pillar God to truly wake up.
"...Actually, you can do some activities first, such as killing the hypocrite or something. I think he hates it. After the abyss is free, you can also have one less competitor."
Oh, the thugs that are delivered to the door for free, make people feel happy.
I fully thought that Cavens would agree to the request, because he is impatient, and obviously needs a venting opponent at this time, and he will not watch the abyss boss come to rescue Cynthia. According to his temperament, he should take the initiative at this time, but As a result, he calmed down when he heard my words.
Contrary to my expectations, Cavens was not anxious at all, but walked slowly to the side, and suddenly grabbed it with his hands, then... the pot of fish soup appeared again.
Then he pulled out a few benches and stood on them to stir the fish soup with a mixer.
"I'm not in a hurry, just wait. It's almost cooked, let's eat some fresh fish soup first. After today is over, I guess we won't have a chance to sit down and eat together. That fish tail over there is tender and juicy. Fish meat? Something similar to your size."
