When Sui Xiong said those words, the discussion was almost over.

However, the God of Shadow and Assassination still refused to give up. She said, “Even if the time of the retrospective period is infinite, the retrospective place can’t be unlimited. His Majesty, the God of Fear, didn’t commit crimes in the territory of the Republic of Northwest, so neither the Code of Gods nor the Code of the Republic of Northwest has articles to punish him.”

Sui Xiong couldn’t help but sigh. He said, “You really don’t give up! Little girl, you have done enough for this guy. Do you think that he will really appreciate it?”

“Please don’t avoid the problem!”

Sui Xiong smiled awkwardly. He rolled his eyes, and he thought of something.

With a flash, a floating green jellyfish appeared next to the avatar of the God of Shadow and Assassination in the mortal world.

“Wow! No wonder you can always think of a problem. It turns out that you have a military counselor next to you!” the green jellyfish said, laughing and looking at the fat man who was confused next to him. The jellyfish said, “Hey, fat guy! What benefits do you get for working out ideas for her?

“Money? Power? Eternal life or something else? What did she give you?”

The fat man had obviously been shocked, but now he calmed down. He was a little angry when he heard those words. He said, “I, Cambrona, am not a vulgar person. Except for sincere love, nothing can make me work for it!”

Sui Xiong was stunned. He looked at the fat man and then looked at the avatar of the God of Shadow and Assassination next to him.

She changed into a tall, beautiful woman who had a good figure, and she was wearing a special costume for some nightclub waitresses in Void City. Sui Xiong had to admit that when this cheongsam-style dress was worn on a woman with a good figure, the charming effect on men could increase by 10%. It was not surprising to increase by 20% or 30%.

After all, the dress was the brainchild of Brother Xun!

Sui Xiong hesitated for a while, then he asked, “Brother Cam, do you really know the origin of this girl?”

“The origin of Jane is none of your business!” the fat man said angrily. “I am not interested in her past!”

“What? Not interested? You are so generous...” Sui Xiong said.

“Correct! Not interested!” the fat man said categorically. “Whether she is a robber or a spy, a killer or a prostitute... Even if she is a judge from hell or even a demon from the abyss, I don’t care!”

He looked sincere. He said, holding the hand of “Jane,””We have already made a deal. To be or not to be, we must be together!”

Sui Xiong looked at them carefully, especially at the eyes of this fat man. From his eyes that were a little small because of his obesity but still very energetic, Sui Xiong saw resoluteness and sincerity without any hypocrisy.

Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and finally said nothing. He sighed deeply and disappeared without a trace.

At the hall of the public hearing, Sui Xiong frowned. He stared at Hasarin, the God of Shadow and Assassination, unhappily.

“That’s not something beautiful!” Sui Xiong said. “You are a mid-level Divine Power, but you deceived a mortal to work himself to death for you, especially using such a method...”

Hasarin didn’t answer this question but instead continued to ask, “Please answer my question!”

Sui Xiong said, shaking his head, “Most of the crimes of Dyalt, the God of Fear, were actually done in his God’s Kingdom. After all, in most cases, he only needed to command. At most, he sent out a few Oracles. Even if he occasionally attacked, he just released his Divine Power, and he didn’t need to arrive at the crime scenes himself. According to your statement, most of his crimes can’t be established, right?”

“At least according to the Code of Gods, it should be true!”

“You can ask that fat man. Assuming that Person A cheats someone’s money in one place, and Person B kills someone and sets a fire in one place, if the victims want to go to other places to file suits, what is the difference?”

Hasarin was stunned. She lowered her head, asking her avatar to inquire.

Just a moment later, his face became paler.

“It seems that the fat man also told you, as for cheating money and similar crimes, generally speaking, officials in other places won’t judge them. The officials will ask the victims to notify the local government of the crime scenes or go to their hometowns to report to the officials there. However, crimes such as murder and arson, no matter where the victim is going to sue, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the wanted order will be issued immediately,” Sui Xiong said, smiling. He had already learned about those things from the God of Law. “When I first sorted out the case files, I have neglected those cases that didn’t include serious crimes such as murder and arson. Otherwise, since the God of Fear has done evil for more than 100,000 years, how can he only own so few crimes?”

“The witnesses just came to the platform one by one. If they are counted as the victims, then I’m the one who accept their suits. Here is my territory. Of course, I can deal with him according to my law. Isn’t that right?”

Hasarin was silent for a long time. She asked, “Assuming there is a wolf and it eats the sheep of a herdsman, isn’t that a crime?”

Sui Xiong said, shaking his head, “No. Wolves eat sheep because of their instinct. If they don’t eat sheep, they will starve to death.”

“So, it is an instinct for an evil god to do evil things,” Hasarin said. “If evil gods don’t do evil, they will fall. Why are you willing to tolerate a wolf, but you are so harsh on a god?”

“Assuming this god is an evil-born god, then this is hard to tell,” Sui Xiong replied. “But Dyalt is not an evil-born god. He was a mortal. He became an evil god because he did a lot of evil things. For him, evil is not his instinct, but the result of his choice. So he deserves to take responsibility for it and pay the price.”

“Even though he will fall if he doesn’t do evil?”

“Yes, even though he will fall if he doesn’t do evil,” Sui Xiong said earnestly. “To live in an evil way isn’t his inalienable nature, but his choice. Therefore, he must be punished for it. What’s more, even if it is his instinct, so what?” Sui Xiong said, smiling. “Wolves eat sheep because of their instinct, so I will not blame wolves. However, herdsmen will kill wolves because of property damages. If a herdsman asks a priest who believes in me to kill a wolf, I will not stop the priest from doing so.”

“Why?”

“Just as a wolf eats a sheep because of instinct, a good priest also fights against evil because of instinct,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “After all, I am a good god.”

“The law-executors shouldn’t be moved by good and evil, and should uphold an absolutely neutral position.”

“Absolute neutral positions belong to the laws, but law-executors always have their own positions,” Sui Xiong replied. “Protecting good and fighting against evil, in my mind, is the duty of every law-executor. If you think that I am a law-executor, then I am willing to accept this duty.”

“In that case, how can you guarantee that you are absolutely fair?”

“Does absolute justice exist in the world?” Sui Xiong said. He couldn’t help but smile. “For example, you are the God of Shadow. Is there an absolute shadow that completely rejects light in the world?”

Hasarin thought for a while. She frowned, shaking her head.

“Light and shadow are relative. Justice and injustice are also relative. If I have to abandon my good standpoint for justice, it will be unfair to the good,” Sui Xiong said seriously. “You should know that those who are hurt are mostly good people. They are already born in a weak position. If law-executors are no longer partial to the good, the whole world will certainly be biased towards the evil.”

“Isn’t that taken for granted? This result is correct,” the God of Shadow said.

Sui Xiong used his tentacles to “shrug.” He said, “Hey, this is the key difference between the good gods the evil gods. This is about our concepts. It is just a waste of time to talk more about that. Let’s return to this trial. Do you have any objections?”

“I will not recognize this trial!” Hasarin said angrily.

Sui Xiong asked, raising his eyebrows, “As far as I know, evil gods actually know what is good and what is evil, right?”

“Of course. Otherwise, where does our evil standpoint come from?”

“That’s right,” Sui Xiong said, nodding. He suddenly raised his voice, and then he said to all the gods, “I want to remind the evil gods here. I, Auscar, am a good god. Just as you often find trouble with some weak, good gods because of your interests or just for fun, I am also likely to bring you trouble because I’m happy or I’m unhappy. If you don’t want this to happen, I suggest you keep a low profile and don’t let me notice you.”

The good gods in the audience seat laughed loudly. The evil gods frowned, but no one spoke.

Sui Xiong’s attitude was already very obvious. If they said something now and irritated that big jellyfish, maybe it would bring them great trouble!

Sui Xiong nodded. He just turned and suddenly turned back.

“By the way, there is one more thing to do,” he said to the God of Justice. “Brother, please, watch over Hasarin.”

“Do you want to remove their source and completely eliminate the Fear God System?” Yorgaardman asked.

“No, in my mind, this person seems able to be saved. You just watch over her at first. In the future, I’ll find a way to slowly adjust her camp,” Sui Xiong said, smiling. “No matter whether it’s shadow or assassination, it doesn’t have to be evil.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the God of Fear. He said, “So, do you want to say something for yourself?”

The God of Fear was silent. Then he said, sneering, “I didn’t know that you were so chatty! I hope that when you encounter the same end as I encounter today, the person who judges you won’t allow you to talk nonsense!”

Sui Xiong smiled again, and he didn’t care about his words.

“So, judge, please sentence your judgment.”

The God of Law stood up, knocking on the wooden table with a wooden gavel.

“According to the Code of Gods, the crimes of Dyalt, the God of Fear, can be sentenced according to the Code of the Republic of Northwest. According to the relevant provisions of the Code of the Republic of Northwest, Dyalt’s crimes are conclusive. The circumstances are serious, so he is sentenced to death!”
