After hearing her words, Su Mingan felt it was ironic.
"justice".
…There is never any clear-cut “justice.”
It is an idea, not a concept, and it depends only on people's subjective judgment. There is no objective and correct justice, but only "better and more suitable" justice. It is the result of people's thinking from their own perspective.
The princess believed that killing Su Lin, the traitor who wanted to overthrow the dynasty, was justice.
The siren believes that killing the princess, who is regarded as a monster by everyone, is justice.
As long as you act in accordance with their ideas, your actions will be a victory worthy of boasting and celebration.
...regardless of whether this requires sacrifices from others.
Because in the eyes of most people, sacrificing for a justice that most people support is a very honorable and reasonable thing to do.
For example, for the "justice" of the people of Praia living in peace and stability, the Soul Hunter can sacrifice gloriously.
For example, in order to fight the storm, half of the people in Praya, even Su Lin himself, could be sacrificed.
For example, in order to defeat the Kraken, a divine being can also be sacrificed.
This is quite reasonable and seems honorable.
Now, as long as Su Mingan finds a divine life for the mermaid to devour, she will become stronger.
She can defeat the blood-red siren that looks extremely evil, fight off the siren king, and save the people within the barrier.
——In this way, he became a "hero" again.
A "hero" who dares to balance the lives of others and save the majority with the minority.
At this moment,
Su Mingan suddenly remembered what Elras had said.
…
【Su Lin.】
[The battle in Praia is never a battle between black and white. ]
…
…
People on the city wall looked into the distance.
Some of them leaned against the city walls, while others held their weapons tightly, watching the extremely tense battle.
The bright red color gradually overwhelmed the blue, burning fiercely in the sky like a raging fire.
Wherever you look, it's as red as blood.
The huge body, which seemed to be made of lava, dragged its tattered skirt and laughed wildly above the sea.
"Su Lin——"
"Su Lin——"
"Su Lin——hahahaha——"
The burst winter snow pendant hung on her scaly neck, and its heart-red color gradually faded.
She screamed and roared wantonly, as if venting all the anger and unwillingness in her heart, mixed with almost shrill cries.
The voice was sharp and familiar.
It reminds people of the beautiful girl in a long palace dress who whispered softly as she was awarded medals at the annual celebration banquet in the royal city.
The azure mermaid seemed to have lost the strength to resist. The energy around her was getting smaller and smaller... and gradually melted away like a raging fire pouring on ice and snow.
Noel looked at this obviously unfavorable situation and quickly opened the team chat channel.
[Noel: Su Mingan, do you need help?]
Lin Yin also sent a message.
[Lin Yin: Su Mingan, the Sea Monster King's combat power is at least 3500. If you can't handle it, you can find another way to pass it. Don't force it.]
…
The wait for a reply seems a bit long.
Noel walked on the city wall, and even the other players who were waiting to witness the ending began to get anxious.
"...Should we retreat first?" A team of players began to discuss privately: "I feel the situation is not good. If we stay here any longer, we might be doomed."
"That's Su Mingan. He must have been sure before he went there."
"I see that Eli, the top player on the leaderboard, has already escaped from the north on a small boat. Should we leave as well?"
"Can the North leave now?"
"Yes, I don't know what happened, but the Siren didn't attack the direction of the Royal City. We should be able to move on now... I saw a lot of players running away in the chat room."
Noel listened to the players' conversation and watched them quietly pack up their things and quickly leave the city wall.
Only a few brave players and the soul hunters on duty are still waiting here.
He was feeling a little annoyed. It was rare for the situation to be out of his control. This copy with Su Mingan was completely beyond his expectations. He had no idea how the next process would develop.
“Ding Dong!”
An exceptionally crisp system response interrupted his thoughts.
He hurriedly opened the team chat.
【Su Mingan: No need for support. 】
【Su Mingan: There is no need to rush. 】
…
Noel's heart was slightly relieved. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky that was almost completely covered in blood red by the counterattack.
“Crash——”
He suddenly heard an extremely loud sound.
Not only him,
At this moment,
Everyone heard a sound like glass breaking, which seemed to ring in their ears.
“Crash——”
Their eyes were stunned.
Through the distant snow, they saw
The barrier that symbolized Praia's sixty years of stability and maintained Praia's long-standing prosperity was torn apart and shattered by countless sea monsters as they watched.
What rang in their ears and penetrated into their chests was like the bell of history.
The bright red color completely covered, enveloped, and burned the blue light the moment the barrier was broken.
The color of the flame was extremely red and bright, burning the pupils of each of them.
Noel looked at the broken outermost barrier with some shock, and at the small boat that was gradually submerged in blood.
Didn't you just say it was okay?
He was a little stunned.
In everyone's eyes, the blue light that symbolized salvation suddenly shattered.
In that bright, intense crimson,
…The rock-like boat disappeared.
…
Praia's savior, the only one who came down from the Cloud City, a child blessed by the gods,
Sixty years later, at a feast on the sea where a siren siege crisis suddenly occurred, just like the plan to build an airship, he used the tiny human power to fight against the natural disaster that could easily destroy them.
But unfortunately, this fight against disaster and fate does not seem to be successful.
——The "hero" died amidst everyone's eager and expectant gazes.
