Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 81 The Ares Palace Meeting and the Trial
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, the entire HR Alliance within China, as well as other large family forces and numerous dark forces within the country, have lived in fear and unease.

Initially, the military's attack was focused solely on the Wang family.

But as members of the Wang family were arrested one by one, under strict interrogation, secrets were revealed one by one.

One shocking case after another was revealed.

Then, a chain reaction began.

First, there were people closely related to the Wang family, such as other family forces in the HR Alliance, or martial artists who joined the HR Alliance.

Subsequently, some government officials and military corrupts were also corrupted by them.

The scope of the crackdown is also getting wider and wider.

It even affected other base cities.

For example, the HR alliance in the Jiangnan base city was also involved.

Including the other eleven families that joined the HRL Alliance, not one was left out.

Sensing something was wrong, the HR Alliance executives tried to escape.

But it was clearly too late.

For example, Li Yao, the "Vulture," and Vinina Porenas, the "Scorpion," are high-ranking members of the HR Alliance in Jiangnan Base City.

Before they could leave in their fighter jets, they were all forcefully suppressed by another Chinese councilor, Zhu Xi.

He was imprisoned and awaiting trial.

This immediately caused a huge uproar within the entire HR alliance.

Both of them are high-level war gods, and one of them, 'Poison Scorpion' Vinina Bolenas, is the younger sister of the current patriarch of the Bolenas family, one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance.

He is the Executive President of HR Alliance China Region, the third-ranked member of HR Alliance China, and an S-level authorized holder of HR Alliance.

Despite his high status, he was imprisoned.

The fact that the Wang family was also wiped out enraged the entire HR alliance.

Inside the Palace of the God of War, chaos reigned.

……

2056 1 Month 18 Day.

Inside the main hall of the War God Palace, the once lively atmosphere of people sitting in twos and threes drinking and chatting has become oppressive.

All eyes were on the entrance.

One by one, powerful councilors landed and entered a magnificent, golden conference hall.

More than 40 members of parliament attended the meeting.

All five councilors who are loyal to China, including Jia Yi, Qin Ming, Zhu Xi, Tuoba Councilor, and Deng Councilor, appeared.

"Speaker Jia, isn't it a bit too irrational of you to suddenly decide to try so many War God level experts? Isn't there any room for de-escalation?"

The smiling face of Liuhe, the inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, had vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

no way.

This time, Jia Yi submitted too many lists that need to be tried.

A total of 76 war gods!
There are as many as twelve high-level war gods alone.

It even included prominent figures such as the head of the Wang family, one of the nine core families of HR, and the younger sister of the current head of the Bolenas family.

If they were all sentenced to death, the entire planet would be thrown into turmoil.

"Of course! I have already submitted all the evidence of their crimes to the council in accordance with the rules of the council, using the authority of the fourth speaker."

Any questions?

"Isn't the evidence we've provided sufficient?"

There was a strange look in Jia Yi's expression.

According to Qin Ming's idea, once these people's crimes are confirmed, they can be tried directly under Chinese law.

The death penalty should be imposed where applicable.

But Jia Yi did not do that.

As the supreme leader of the Chinese military, he was not only extremely powerful in terms of military strength, but also had a very sharp political mind.

Kill them outright?

This is tantamount to slapping the face of both the god of thunder and the god of lightning.

The outbreak of conflict was inevitable.

Although Qin Ming was confident that his strength was no less than theirs.

But Jia Yi didn't want to completely break ties with them until the very last step.

Therefore, Jia Yi, in his capacity as the fourth speaker, directly proposed a trial at the War God Palace meeting for the War God, who had already been arrested and for whom there was sufficient evidence of his crimes to warrant the death penalty.

"Never before in the history of the War God Palace has so many War Gods been tried on such a large scale. Doing so will likely cause great turmoil, and may even allow monster hordes to take advantage of the situation and invade."

Inspector Liu smiled wryly.

The information provided by Huaxia is far too comprehensive.

Enough to sentence everyone to death.

For example, the Wang family patriarch had three powerful warriors who died at his hands in the wilderness.

Below the God of War, there are countless others.

He killed the families of those martial artists using various methods.

According to the rules of the War God Palace, this is enough to kill the royal family patriarch ten times over.

The same applies to the rest.

For example, "Vulture" Li Yao and "Scorpion" Vinina Bolenas, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Both of them have always been ruthless in their actions.

The number of martial artists who died at their hands far exceeded that of the Wang family patriarch.

Even more are being persecuted in secret!

According to the laws of the War God Palace, these people deserve to die!

Did Liu He and his group not know about these crimes in the past?
How could I not know? I just turned a blind eye.

After all, the dead are irrelevant; what they care about is the living.

After all, we still need them to fight off the monsters, right?
But doing so would put the Ares Palace, Hong, and Thor on the hot seat.

Sentence them all to death?

76 war gods were sentenced to death in one go!
But if no judgment is made, the rules of the War God Palace meeting will completely collapse.

He has lost all his prestige.

The rules established by Hong and Thor will also be broken.

……

As time went by, one member of parliament after another appeared.

All the members of the HR Alliance, including Fourth Speaker East, HR Alliance Speaker Isadora, Atkin, Yan Hai, and others, were present.

Their gazes toward the five Chinese councilors were filled with rage.

This is a huge provocation against the HR Alliance!
Before Yan Hai could even arrive at Atkins's place to visit China, China launched its first attack.

Yan Hai's expression was gloomy.

During the Great Nirvana period, Li Yao and he went on adventures together. At that time, they were both still weak, and it was a true life-and-death experience.

Yan Hai had long regarded Li Yao as his own child.

But now, China is going to try Li Yao, and with a death sentence!

How could he not be furious?
Moreover, if the trial in China is successful, not only will the HR Alliance's influence in China be completely severed, but it will also suffer a major blow globally.

What if other countries follow suit?
Huaxia did more than just conduct a trial and sentence to death; it also seized all of HR Alliance's assets in accordance with the law, freezing them entirely.
This is simply treating the HR Alliance like pigs to be slaughtered!

The other non-HR alliance members all had complicated expressions, some even revealing strange looks.

For example, Sokolov of Soviet Russia.

Their relationship with the HR alliance is also poor.

If given the chance, we would never miss the opportunity to tear their flesh apart.

Or perhaps it's the Ice Emperor 'Merhandsen', with a playful gaze.

Before the meeting even started, many members of parliament huddled together and whispered among themselves.

In their view, this was a counterattack by Jia Yi, the fourth speaker, against the HR Alliance, but the counterattack was far too ruthless.

They want to put the HR alliance to its death.

Many members of parliament have distanced themselves from Chinese members of parliament.

"First Speaker, Second Speaker, they've arrived."

"Hong and Thor."

Outside the hall, a man in black and a bald monk in a white robe walked into the conference hall one after the other.

This was the first time Qin Ming had met Hong and Lei Shen.

Even in the virtual world, you can at least feel the immense pressure emanating from them.

For example, when Hong's gaze swept over, Qin Ming seemed to see a darkness, as if it had swallowed up all the light around him.

Thor, too, possesses a quality that involuntarily sends shivers down your spine.

“Hong, Planetary Level 6. Master of the Light Domain.”

"Thor, Planetary Level Seven!"

Qin Ming sized up the two of them.

These are the two most powerful people on Earth.

In terms of realm, Thor surpasses Hong.

However, because Hong possesses his own domain, he completely surpasses Thor in strength.

Can I defeat them now?

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes.

With the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls present, and the soul domain that has expanded to 3000 meters, there are twenty million monster souls.

He has at least secured an invincible position.

……

Once Hong and Thor arrived, the meeting quickly commenced.

The documents provided by Jia Yi were distributed to all the members of parliament, but some people simply tossed them aside without even looking at them.

Some people, however, were casually flipping through the pages, looking like they were watching a good show.

evidence?

unimportant.

The important question is, what will Hong and Thor do?
According to the rules of the War God Palace, the trial process began one by one.

Hong and Thor sat above, saying nothing.

As the final verdict was about to be announced, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Just as Hong and Thor were about to pronounce their verdict.

Atkin, who was sitting below the conference room, finally stood up.

He respectfully bowed to Hong and Lei Shen at the head of the table, and then slowly began to speak.

"This so-called evidence is merely provided unilaterally by China, and evidence can be fabricated. I suspect that the evidence they provided is all false."

It's just an excuse to attack our HR alliance.

"Of course, that's not what I wanted to say. Jia Yi initiated the trial in his capacity as the fourth speaker."

I have already arrived in China, ready to challenge him.

Soon, he would no longer be the fourth speaker.

There was no need for this trial.

　Sorry it's a little late. But at least it's out now.
