Therefore, even though he knew that the other party had taken over Gwen's body, he still showed no mercy.

Because it's invincible, absolutely invincible.

He has absolutely no need to worry about hurting the real Gwen.

As for why the Goddess of Justice stopped attacking and instead chose to kneel there in contemplation, the answer is actually quite simple.

The deity is not a being without intelligence; she is not the kind of NPC that is programmed to move only in a fixed area as a target boss.

Although the goddess of justice may seem ruthless, she ultimately possesses independent thought.

Although not many.

She was clearly very confused when the black lambs appeared.

Her reason told her that these creatures must be eradicated from this world, just as Victor had said.

They are natural pests, a fact known even to the most ordinary farmer. How could a god not understand this?

Even though the goddess of justice is still rational, she is aware of the dangers these creatures pose, but she cannot take direct action.

After all, she couldn't judge the good or evil of these cubs, and the scales in her hands were useless against these dark beings.

That's why she couldn't attack these monsters.

In the end, she didn't even need to lift a finger; Victor's magic caused them all to disintegrate and explode.

The terrifying power unleashed a gust of wind and black mist that swept across the entire city of Shulburn.

This land is now almost entirely gone, except for its desolation and the swirling dust.

In the end, she was still unable to personally remove those evil things.

"If there are people nearby, are you going to wait until they actually attack humans before you take action?"

Viktor's calm and deep voice echoed across the earth.

Hearing his words, the Goddess of Justice slowly raised her head and looked at him, her gaze hidden under her helmet appearing somewhat lost.

Then, she parted her lips slightly, and her ethereal voice seemed to drift down from the distant sky:

"If there is no clear evidence of evil, how can I judge according to the standards of justice?"

Ultimately, the goddess of justice judges evil deeds based on two main logics.

One approach is to judge the good or evil of an action based on Libra's assessment.

Another approach is to make a judgment based on the behavior itself.

Whether through the scales of justice or by directly observing behavior, the goddess of justice considers things from an objective perspective.

Libra told her that someone was evil and therefore needed to be judged;

It was her eyes that saw someone commit a wrong and therefore must be punished.

Thus far, the goddess of justice has been using her eyes and scales to judge the good and evil of people in the world.

But once Libra can't provide an answer, even her eyes can't discern it clearly.

A goddess of justice based solely on subjective feelings would find it difficult to judge beings she deems 'evil'.

For example, those black goat cubs that are inherently 'evil'.

"So that's why humans hate you."

Viktor calmly looked at the goddess of justice before him and told her the truth directly, despite her bewilderment.

"The evil deeds you see with your own eyes, though one-sided, will be accepted by people."

"The evil thoughts you hear with Libra, though accurate, are chilling."

Because no matter what his original intention was, he must be punished for making a mistake.

For example, Earl Laureen is still considered by the nobles to be the mastermind behind the incident ten years ago.

As a vampire, he seems to be trying to eliminate all the nobles in the kingdom, and even the entire human population of Shulbon.

Although his initial wish was simply to resurrect Priscilla and make her a normal vampire.

He may have been kind at heart, but his actions did indeed have negative consequences.

The residents, unaware of the truth, continued to love Earl Laureen deeply because the stories they heard differed from those of the nobles.

But none of the nobles who witnessed it firsthand and believed they understood the truth liked him.

If the goddess of justice had executed judgment on Laureen back then, the entire kingdom's nobility would probably have cheered with joy.

However, Libra will reveal to the goddess the evil within the hearts of some who have not yet gone astray.

The judgment of the goddess of justice is indeed accurate; she truly judges only the wicked.

However, humans cannot understand this.

After all, ordinary people cannot see through the hidden good and evil in others' hearts like Libras do.

Therefore, those judged as 'evil' by Libra are often seen as being deliberately targeted by the goddess of justice.

If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.

"It's not wrong to trust Libra, but relying too much on Libra and your own eyes can make you blind."

"Without the scales, you can't see evil, and you become blind to the evil that should be eradicated."

Victor spoke coldly and sternly, his words to the goddess of justice carrying a hint of reprimand:

"Ha, as a god, you are not even as decisive as your own Libra."

"Astraea, are you the goddess of justice, or a puppet controlled by the scales?"
