Elemental Calendar, July 7, 307, Central Holy Church.

The second day after the battle between the Lord of Judgment and Lord of Fire, the first day after the "Second Judgment".

Since July, major events on the Holy Fire Continent have been one after another.

First of all, it has become increasingly serious recently, and various natural disasters have affected the entire continent.

There are so many natural phenomena caused by continuous climate anomalies that even if all priests from all over the country mobilize all to rescue disasters, some remote villages and towns cannot wait for assistance from afar.

But what is amazing is that no matter whether these villages pray to God at the end or not, at the most critical moment, a gust of wind will suddenly blow, and then heavy rain will fall directly in the flash of lightning, like a miracle.

Secondly, it gathers in the name of the ruling master and advances the ranks of criminals.

Those ‘arbiters’ who claim to be wrong in judgment and claim to be innocent were gathered together. They firmly believed that they had not deviated from God’s Word and demanded a truly righteous judgment under God’s testimony - they advanced towards the central church under the leadership of a chosen priest named Aimun.

I have to say that the journey is like God's blessing, and there is no obstacle along the way, and even everyone who wants to stop them has been incorporated into this team.

The most popular thing is the god battle that happened the day before yesterday.

The Lord of Judgment and Lord of Fire fought in the sky, and the bright light of divine power illuminated the night sky. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary people may not be able to see the victory or defeat. They can only see the vast power of divine power running through the sky - only the existence of the God-Blessed One can vaguely see the gap between the gods and be shocked by this.

As for the final big thing, that is, the second trial that just ended, it is meaningful.

The Lord of Judgment and Lord of Fire joined forces to organize the largest judgment in history. They organized all the priests in the entire central sacred temple, and conducted hundreds of hearings, self-reports and case closings at the same time. The divine power guarantees the honesty of everyone and can see through anyone's selfishness.

A total of 13,000 sinners and more sinners who gathered one after another were determined to be innocent in this second sentence.

In the other small part, some are indeed guilty, but the sentence is too severe, which is the mistake of the sentencer. Of course, some of them feel that they are not guilty, but in fact they are guilty and are sentenced lightly, and they will receive heavier punishment.

On this day, the principles of innovation and morality, as well as the new doctrine of the Lord of Judgment were told in public by God who showed his true body. When the shadow of the Dragon of Judgment appeared on the temple, all the priests of the Lord of Judgment were so excited that they shouted the name of the God.

Now, the judgment continues. Except for the first day, God will not often make judgments in person. They have handed everything to priests and ordinary people, but everything is on track.

"Praise the Lord of Judgment! Praise the Lord of Fire!"

Nowadays, many sinners in tears can be seen from time to time on the streets of the Central Holy Hall. They have washed away their grievances and finally recovered their innocence. These people have suffered unjust grievances for more than ten years, have been despised by their hometowns, and have been ignored by their relatives and friends. Now, after obtaining the misjudgment recognized by the Central Holy Hall and the piety endorsed by the two gods, they can finally return to their hometown, regain their reputation, and be apologized.

Now, everything has been rehabilitated...but how should we make up for these ten years?

But at least, these sins should not occur in the future.

[This new and righteous way will be passed on and handed over to you to carry out - it is you who have been guilty of sin and now cleansing up grievances. In order to avoid the repetition of your suffering in the future, I will give you strength and authority.]

God said at that time that the Lord of Judgment passed down his thundering method and the law of Crazy Lan, which was a tradition given to all wandering judges and all Judgment Lords. They would possess a divine technique that can see through curses and evil thoughts and detect honesty. This power, called the Eye of Judgment, is the authority of God, but now it is handed over to mortals.

Moreover, since then, the trial is no longer a final decision, and generally, it will have to undergo two reviews.

For general crimes, a small team of three priests will be presided over, and based on the Divine Constitution and precepts to be revised later, punishment will be made from the three aspects of individual, collective and morality, and the decision will be made whether a guilty or not. This step does not involve the Lord of Judgment.

Immediately afterwards, local representatives of more than twenty people expressed their respective views, and they also discussed them from the perspectives of individual, collective and morality, but only determined the severity of the circumstances. This also did not involve the lord of judgment.

But if the judgment dispute is too great and there is objection, then both the judge or the judged party can directly make a request to the temple and go to a larger temple for a second trial.

And this time, the Lord of Judgment may involve - if neither the priest nor the representative of the people cannot make the result from the individual, collective and moral aspects, the Lord of Judgment can only be asked to make the judgment - and this time, the minority can only obey the majority, and then record this point into the new D&C law as an example.

Of course, this is basically impossible... because if there is such a great controversy, the Lord of Fire will probably go and check the situation by himself.

The first batch of attempts to try this new trial system were not others, but those pirates in Su Zhou's personal space.

Among them, most of the pirates on the Wild Boar are treated with misdemeanors. According to the new law, they will serve as laborers in the priests' sect, fight fires and disasters all over the world, and atone for the sins they have committed. After the atonement is completed, they will conduct an audit to decide whether to restore normal human rights or as the object of observation.

However, most of the crew members in the Deep Diver are guilty and felony.

Even, death penalty is required.

And the real key point is undoubtedly Aquaman Albert.

"...In order to ensure that those who join our pirate group completely cut off unnecessary hope, we will issue a mission to join the group, which is a life."

"As long as you get on the boat, you have to kill someone. After all, who knows whether these people who were not trained since childhood and joined the middle of the journey would be spies from the temple? Only by killing people, after he returns to the shore, he will inevitably be judged by the Lord of Judgment and cannot go back."

"So it's not just the Deep Diver, it's also the rule of most high-level pirate groups. Some are not so direct, but the final result is the same - all crew members are guilty of serious crimes and can only stay on the ship and live and die with the pirate group."

On the observation stage, the lower pirate captain who had never killed anyone, and the captain Ned, whose feet were cut off according to the law, swearing and driving a wheelchair, leaving the court with a wheelchair. Although he would not die, he had to cut off his legs and work and transform it.

Need had the blood of the people of the wind and the blood of judgment. In four or five years, at most seven or eight years, his legs would be regenerated. Before that, he would do some work in his hands to atone for his sins.

But at least, Need doesn't have to die, and if he performs well and his atonement is recognized by everyone, the church can also speed up the recovery of his legs.

There is no concept of long-term imprisonment in the Holy Fire Continent. The punishment of prisoners is to directly chop their hands and feet, completely destroying their ability to do evil - because there is the blood of judgment and the blood of the people of the wind, which is not permanent. At most, the punishment of several decades is barely considered a feature of their world. Even if God wants to interfere, it will take a long time.

Alber, who was kneeling on the stage, didn't care at all about this. He knew very well that he would have to be sentenced to death.

Therefore, on the judgment stand in the center of the Central Hall Plaza, who was watched by tens of thousands of people, he calmly described his sins: "In addition, in order to maintain deterrence, every once in a while, we will attack the coastal cities or the villages of the sea people, kill some people and fishermen, and steal some things."

"Over the years, I alone have killed hundreds of people, let alone robbed of wealth."

When saying this, Alber's tone and emotion did not fluctuate at all. It was obvious that killing had become a habit and had no fluctuations in human life.

“…what else should I confess my guilt?”

On the side, Gael, the great priest who presided over the judgment for him, said a little complicated tone of the tone of the Lord of Judgment. He had never seen a pure evil person who was so calm and had no psychological burden for human life and evil.

Albert shook his head: "If it is considered blasphemy to be God, then there is probably this one."

“Apart from that, there is nothing.”

The crime statement ends, and then the priests condemn, vote and final punishment decided by the public representatives.

There is no doubt.

Alber's final judgment was the death penalty - beheading, and it was executed immediately.

And Albert doesn't care about it.

The execution of the death penalty was soon, and the priests brought the beheading platform, and the red-haired and red-bearded pirates came to the beheading platform.

A great pirate who could even be compared with the God-Blessed One in the sea would not die from a minor injury like a beheading. However, Su Zhou personally took action to suppress Alber's strength and vitality. He is now a mortal.

No one could see Su Zhou, so he stood next to the beheading platform, witnessing the final destination of the Aquaman pirate.

At this moment, only Albert knew that the Lord of Judgment was beside him.

But so what?

As his neck was pressed into the groove of the beheading platform, Albert could not help but squint and looked at the sky above the central hall. Today is sunny, cloudless, and the air is refreshing, with the smell of summer.

He couldn't help but recall the grand wish that suddenly rose in his heart when he was a young man's head up at the bow deck and saw the endless ocean and the distant sea level.

——The sea is so big... Then why can't I explore its end, look at the other end of the sea level, and see the scenery at the other end of the distant world?

At that time, the boy was already covered in blood. As a chess piece in his father's hand, the pirate hunting pirates, Alber was born in the sea, but he had been wandering near the sea of ​​leaping sea. He had never had the care of his mother, nor did he have the company of his father. Although he had never had enough support, the feeling of loneliness was like a shadow.

Albert didn't care about loneliness, he just was unwilling to be here, staying there forever, and wanted to witness a brand new scenery.

So, from that day on, he began to prepare for his rebellion against his father Glo, and became a truly independent and free pirate.

And now, decades later.

The crowds were surging in the square of the central hall. The colorful hair and the speeches were like tides. In this midsummer, it was like another special ocean.

But the heart of the former boy was born because of the sea, and his longing for freedom and the distant heart had long been erased. He was already a pirate who killed people without blinking, and he had no intention of any sin or repentance in his heart.

However, at the end, when the blade of the beheading was slowly pulled up, Albert spoke in his heart, praying to God who was standing beside him but no one could see him.

"God."

The red-haired pirate said to himself: "I know what I do is evil and sinful, but I did it anyway. When I killed someone, I knew I would be killed. This is my choice."

"I have been like this for granted, and evil is not a label that I cannot accept."

"only."

When he said this, Alber closed his eyes, muttered tiredly, and asked from the bottom of his heart: "Why are there pirates?"

【Because of the mistakes of the old era.】

Standing beside Albert, Su Zhou answered him. The other party was the first Aquaman to be convicted of being sentenced and was also the beginning of the Central Holy Temple. Su Zhou naturally had to come to the scene in person.

Regarding the doubts of the pirate, the god said calmly: [It is me and the cause established by the Lord of Fire that led to your birth - at this point, it is indeed the mistake we have made. You are from our mistakes, and we should apologize to everyone.]

[However, in the new era, we will not make the same mistakes. Although human beings can never learn lessons, we are God after all, and we may be different - and if we make mistakes, we can also admit and correct them. This is the original intention of innovation.]

Alber was silent about this.

Amid the sound of the mechanical movement of the decapitation knife being pulled up by the gears, he sighed and prayed, "God, do you mean that in the order of the new era, there will be no such person as me?"

"I always feel that after I was born, I have no freedom at all. I can only be a pirate. I started killing people at the age of seven. I was born to be taught to rob merchant ships. I was born without the right to be a good person. Even if I wanted to explore, the people of the sea were unwilling to serve me, and my subordinates were unwilling to go far away."

"And when I have the right to choose to explore the distance, the enthusiasm in my heart has subsided...the emptiness is spreading, so I want to be God and try to get freedom."

Su Zhou could only shake his head slightly in response to this.

[Perhaps, Albert, the entanglement of human interests and the conflict of human thoughts are eternal. People like you, in the past, in the present, and in the future, should also have them.]

[However, the number will become smaller. At that time, not only will there be fewer people like you, but there will be a high chance of committing any death penalty - because with the progress of the times, you may still not have the right to choose, but at least you will no longer have the opportunity or reason to be an evil pirate.]

[And this is the law of development, progress and innovation.]

“Is that…this is, innovation?”

The beheading knife had arrived at the top. Alber looked at the execution ground in front of him, and everyone was shouting to sentence him to death. In the confession just now, everyone in the central holy city had already known his origin, his crimes and what he did. Even the matter of the priest Glo was made public. His priest father would be arrested. Although he did not say it until the end, how could God not know about saving energy?

——This is very shameful... For a person, it is too much to be revealed in almost everything in his life!
