Chapter 105 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
The problem didn’t end there. Beyond the mere disappearance of two of the genius-level talents, the problem is the position of the hero, the saint, and the group of protagonists centered around the saint, that is, the heroines.
“The saint was loved not only by the warrior, but also by the princess, and looking at the situation, he was probably loved by half a dragon and a magician. “In such a situation, a saint died at the hands of a warrior?”
The international community had no choice but to become a mess right away. The demi-human alliance could not ignore the wishes of Ras, the main heroine of the half-dragon route, who would later become the chieftain of the next dragon tribe.
And that Ras will have a grudge against the hero who killed the saint and the empire that was protecting that hero.
It wasn’t just Lars. Archi Stark, the main heroine of the Sorcerer route, also must have had bad feelings toward the Empire, and this Archi Stark was the next tower owner of the Stark Magic Tower located in the Syndrome Republic.
The modern magic tower is closer to a large research institute that signs contracts with large conglomerates and researches and develops the artifacts they want rather than the magic tower of medieval fantasy. For no reason, you have to take the magician route, not the target route.
The problem was that this Stark Magic Tower was an inseparable partnership with the Platinum Group, which was in charge of the economy of the Orbital Federation, including the Syndrome Republic.
In other words, the Platinum Group, a huge corporation that can be said to be feeding half of the Orbital Federal Bureau, cannot ignore the opinions of the Stark Magic Tower. To put it another way, the Orbital Federal Bureau itself tends to be influenced by the will of the Platinum Group.
“Furthermore, even if the Republic and Taebaek Kingdom are not tied together as a federal state, there is no way the Holy Kingdom will just leave alone the warrior who killed the saint… !”
It is said that due to this incident, the relationship between the Federation and the Empire, as well as the Ain Federation and the Empire, has become extremely deteriorated!
“Actually, according to my knowledge of the future, if we take this route, humanity will fight among itself and destroy itself… !”
If the protagonist goes the harem route and dies after getting caught up in a passionate fight between the main heroines, each main heroine will decide and hate each other, centering on the main heroine who is the fundamental cause.
And in a situation where the main heroines occupy a position in each force, they come to hate each other, and as a result, the Empire, the Federation, and the Demihuman Union pull out their swords against each other!
As a result, in a world where destruction is certain even if they unite against the Demon King’s Army and Crescent, it is natural that humanity will self-destruct extremely quickly and become extinct!
Haha… Fuck…”
Eugene, who knew that fact well through the original work, could not help but feel completely at a loss.
It’s not a joke, but I feel like crying a little because the human forces, which cannot cooperate right away, are constantly divided by this incident.
“Yeah, fuck. If you want to fail like that, go for it… ! This gem of a world… !”
It was so bad that he even thought about just throwing everything away and staying in one place with Yeonhwa until the world falls apart.
“… “The situation is more serious than I thought.”
And at Eugene’s explanation, Yeonhwa couldn’t help but sigh as she understood why Eugene was glowing like that.
It would have been unexpected for her to think that at the point when Eugene was determined to save her, the world would completely kick it away and say, ‘I will choose death!’
“… Ha, what should I do now?”
When Eugene asked Yeonhwa in a half-liberated voice in such a hopeless situation, she responded in a tone of absurdity.
“Even if you ask that to your wife, there’s no way you’ll get an answer, right? “Is it true that it is Sang-Sang, not the original woman, who has the ability to foresee?”
“If things happen like this, you should really just be ruined by the world! “Isn’t it strange if I slap him?”
That prognosis indicated that the world was already doomed! They are claiming that, but what can we do? We should just get along well.
That’s why, lost in her despair, Eugene was blankly watching the trial of the hero, Genos, taking place in real time in the video.
“… First of all, should they kidnap that girl called the hero? “If she has the same level of talent as the original woman, wouldn’t it be better to keep her alive first?”
When Yeonhwa cautiously expressed her opinion upon seeing Eugene like that, Eugene shook her head.
“Stop it, if you do something wrong, you could end up fighting with the current ozone while trying to save the future ozone.”
No matter how much Yeonhwa said she did not care about the empire, she should not have at least pretended to be with Ozone, considering that she would later become involved with the Demon King’s army and Crescent.
And the fact that we should not be at odds with Ozone means that we need to avoid crossing the line that each power can tolerate.
In other words, the hero who killed the saint should not be allowed to escape by force.
“At least someone, whether a swordsman or a nobleman, will be watching, and if the hero escapes in that situation, Yeonmae will definitely be on the suspect list.”
Since the incident was an incident, it would not be surprising if one of the Ozones was watching the hero.
So, even if it were possible for her Yeonhwa to escape, she would not be able to escape from the dragon’s path because it was possible.
“So you’re saying that I have to watch that girl, the hero, die like this?”
“… I don’t know either!”
Eugene responded to Yeonhwa’s words with an air of giving up, as if he was just letting things happen as they should now.
And even in the situation where Eugene is in such a state of semi-despair having his conversation with Yeonhwa, the trial against Genos is still going on.
-… In this regard, the defendant can defend himself. Do you have anything to defend?
-Doesn’t exist.
-Does that mean you will admit your guilt and submit to the punishment that will be handed down?
-That’s right.
He was a warrior whose mind was half broken due to the guilt of killing the saint he loved with his own hands.
Therefore, due to his actions of silently enduring the punishment that will be handed down to him, the trial itself is proceeding at lightning speed.
The trial, which would normally have lasted several months or even years, is now reaching a conclusion in just a few tens of minutes due to the importance of the case and the compliance of the defendant.
-… As you can see, the defendant admits his guilt, so further trials are meaningless. Dear Judge, please reach your conclusion.
-…
The Empress, who was seated at the trial as a judge, remained briefly silent as the hero’s crime was clearly revealed through such a short trial.
Currently, important issues of the empire are swirling in her mind, including not only the verdict of the current trial but also the diplomatic relations that will arise as a result.
Above all, her feelings must have been very complicated due to the fact that in order to subdue the Demon King, she had to defeat the hero chosen by God with her own hands.
But the warrior’s sin was clear. No matter how damaged it is, in order to prevent diplomatic relations from heading towards complete catastrophe, it is necessary for the empire to fairly punish the warriors it protected.
… That is why the Empress could not resist the urgings sent by her daughter and ultimately came to the conclusion she had to make.
-… Since the hero, Genos’s crime is clear and I do not deny this, I will impose the corresponding punishment and proceed with the execution immediately. First of all, we will disqualify Hero Genos, no, former Hero Genos, and return the Holy Sword.
First of all, the biggest reason why Genos was always able to have a war of nerves with the Crown Princess even though he was a commoner, the Empress concluded that she would strip the warrior of his title and return the holy sword that proves his qualifications to the empire.
Since it was a punishment that should have been given as a matter of course, the nobles gathered at the trial as observers, as well as the citizens in the square watching the trial through the electronic display, did not react much.
“I never thought we would see a current warrior being dismissed.”
“It’s a joke, it’s a joke.”
“I’m not joking, I’m serious…”
Eugene could only lament alone as he realized the significance of the warrior’s dismissal itself as he heard the voices of citizens just clicking their tongues and perfunctorily worrying about the world.
-Second, former Hero Genos, now you are just a commoner, the crime you committed is truly a heinous crime. Murder without justification is the most serious crime. Considering that the target was God’s favored son and saint, recognized even by the Holy Kingdom, this was the worst sin that no one could deny, so originally, the punishment of death should have been imposed on you.
And finally, the results of what kind of punishment would be given to Genos, who was stripped of his title as a warrior, were coming.
The citizens gathered in the plaza watched with curiosity as to what kind of punishment the former warrior, now a major criminal, would receive.
The high-ranking nobles gathered at the trial were concentrating on the Empress’s conclusion, pondering the meaning of the punishment the former warrior received.
Next, the crown princess, Prisian, who was standing at the trial in her capacity as a prosecutor, was just glaring at Genos with her hateful expression…
… Lastly, Genos himself was looking up at the Empress, who was sentencing him to punishment, with unfocused eyes and a distraught expression, as if he had already given up on everything.
-… However, the crime of harming the Son of God was judged to be so serious that it could not be repaid by death, so the status of the commoner Zenos was demoted to a permanent slave. From then on, the descendants of the sinner Zenos also took on the status of slaves without a single exception. It is a sentence to live.
Earth! Earth!
From that gaze, the Empress, who had come to a conclusion about the punishment to be meted out to Genos, declared the punishment by striking the baton twice, and the nobles inside the court and the citizens of the grand plaza began to whisper.
-Indeed, the punishment itself is heavier than the death penalty.
-If this is the case, even the Holy Kingdom will not be able to say anything about the punishment of the warrior.
-The problem is who will be the master of the enslaved warrior, or rather, the former warrior…
-Of course it will come from the Holy Kingdom, right?
-Not just Seongguk. Even if it is a former job, the talent chosen as a warrior will be coveted in any country.
-Our empire…
-You won’t be able to go out. Only then will my already strained relationship with Seongguk be completely ruined.
“Huh, it’s not an inherited title, it’s an inherited slave… , Isn’t it the most severe punishment other than the death penalty?”
“In some cases, it is a punishment more severe than the death penalty. “You can’t be comfortable when you die, and you will be used as a slave for the rest of your life.”
“Even your descendants are all slaves, right?”
“It is the worst punishment given only to those who commit treason. It is a punishment that children suffer from generation to generation. “I never thought I would see someone who was a warrior receive such punishment.”
High-ranking nobles and citizens could not help but cry at the sight of a former warrior receiving a punishment that was said to be equivalent to, and in some cases worse than, the death penalty.
In fact, they had no choice but to say that they were directly witnessing a scene from history.
And Genos, the person who received that punishment, is now just silently accepting the punishment given to him with his head bowed with completely dead eyes.
-Judge… , Her Majesty concluded the punishment to be meted out to the guilty. What are you doing? Bring out that criminal right now and have him engrave the platinum slave engraving!
-Yes… ? You mean platinum… ? It’s a precious item that doesn’t exist even in the imperial family… ?
