When Todd saw Karin appear in the Soul Space, he could hardly believe his eyes.
However, the other party did not have much time to reminisce. After a brief exchange with Rachel, they left the soul space.
Why would she appear in the capital of the Abbasid Empire?
In response to Todd's question, Rachel said, "That's not important. The important thing is that she's back safe and sound."
Todd nodded: "You...you're right, the route back has been arranged?"
“The people from the Alien Association will assist her, and I will personally go to the border to pick her up.”
Recalling his earlier meeting with Karin, Todd asked with some confusion, "She seemed to be avoiding me the whole time?"
Rachel smiled and comforted him, "Perhaps it's just because we were in a hurry."
Todd pondered for a moment, then said, "I should go to the South."
Rachel did not support the idea: "Twilight City needs you. You should know that the racial issues in the city are getting worse and worse."
Todd said, "The racial divide is nothing compared to the undead army we are facing."
Rachel tilted her head and thought for a moment, then quickly guessed Todd's destination: "If you want to explore the secrets of the necromancy, do you want to go to the Council of Elders?"
“That’s right. The necromancy originated from the necromancy inheritors that Theodore studied, and the important carrier of the necromancy parasite—the resurrection worm—is a specialty of the Elder Council.” Todd said with a bit of helplessness, “The key to finding a solution to the necromancy plague lies in negotiating with the Elder Council.”
Rachel bit her lip, looking somewhat hesitant: "You should know how dangerous the Council of Elders is, Illyad, Eleanor... and Sutherland who is sleeping underground."
Todd gently put his arm around Rachel's waist: "I'll have my helpers there too, the Grand Master of the Conflict Legion, remember?"
Rachel was taken aback: "That ancient Taro woman who has lived for over a thousand years? The daughter of the sage Sutherland? Meredith?"
Todd nodded and said, "With her help, I might be able to communicate with Sutherland. With the help of that sage, we will be more confident in dealing with the undead."
“Todd, you don’t understand.” Rachel looked worried. “That man is no longer the sage who saved the aliens in the Taro era. He has absorbed too many tyrants and has now become a monster!”
“At least he hasn’t lost his mind.” Todd pointed to himself: “In a sense, I’m a monster too.”
When Rachel realized her attempts to dissuade him were futile, she said, "I want to go with you."
Todd shook his head: "Illid is still angry that you took his notes, and Eleanor hates you to the core."
"And if I remember correctly, you also need to crack the obelisk's code and find a way for us to get home..."
Rachel paused, then turned to Todd, asking incredulously, "You mean, you're willing to come back to your hometown with me?!"
Todd nodded: "Earth, if you remember that name."
“Of course, of course I remember!” Rachel hugged Todd tightly. “I thought you couldn’t let go of everything here.”
Todd placed Rachel's head against his chest and whispered, "I always thought I couldn't let go, but I've finally come to terms with it. Everything has an end, and I can't protect everything here forever."
"If a sustainable path is not found to avoid the extinction of the race, and the empire is maintained solely by a monarch, any empire or civilization will eventually perish."
Todd gently kissed Rachel on the forehead: "When everything settles down, I will eventually go back to my own path and never cross paths with this place again."
Rachel looked up: "What will happen to Muxi City after you leave?"
"I have built the Kingdom of Heaven with Leviathan and Scáthach, relying on the power of the Scales of Fate to restrain and adjust the forces of this world."
"Using the scales of fate to restrain and adjust forces?"
Todd said to Rachel, "Do you remember how the scales of fate work? They can only judge souls and determine their guilt or innocence after people have died."
"Now, Leviathan and Scáthach have modified the scales of fate so that they begin to weigh a person's guilt before the person has even died."
“When a creature’s words and deeds tend toward destruction, the scales of its fate will tip toward sin; if a creature’s words and deeds tend toward order, its fate will tip toward innocence.”
"When the sins of living beings reach a certain level, the scales of fate will forcibly initiate judgment and imprison the souls of the sinners."
Rachel nodded and said, "Intervention in advance is better than remediation afterward, but it will create many new problems."
Todd nodded and said, "That's right. There are several difficult problems to solve when conducting a soul trial before a living being dies."
"How do we monitor the words and deeds of all living beings? How do we judge whether the words and deeds of living beings are sinful? When should we forcibly terminate the life of a living being to reduce its harm to the world?"
“It’s impossible for us to implant a monitor in everyone’s brain to observe their daily words and actions. Leviathan and Scáthach intend to entrust this task to the angels and demons of heaven, so that they can observe and record everyone’s daily life.”
"This task is extremely demanding and requires exceptional judgment. Scáthach's suggestion is to link all angels and demons together by soul, creating a honeycomb-like network of consciousness. When judging whether someone is guilty, all angels and demons in the network of consciousness will participate in the judgment, thus ensuring the most reasonable assessment."
