T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 178, Section 177: His words represented the Fallen Star Siren.

What? A level 17 bed? It'll make an old idiot furious and only give him a small amount of experience?

If we really blow this place up, will we instantly reach the maximum level?
Evil thoughts surged wildly at the boundary between reality and illusion, and the chattering people in the noisy corridor seemed like giant experience points.

"Hold on... hold on, what we want is the final reward of the story, the experience can be earned at any time." Jiang Heyi knew what the others were thinking, and to be honest... he was also tempted.

Thankfully, Proof of the Stars is an online game; if I had a save file, I could have gone on a killing spree here.

The incident happened suddenly, and chaos ensued inside the council hall.

After Grenus's body was taken off the stage, Grenus's son, with red eyes and gritted teeth, blamed his father's death entirely on the bed.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.

The experience is exclusively for the user "Beiwo" and is recognized by the system; the killer is "Beiwo".

But, under everyone's watchful eyes, all she did was cry in the rain, without doing anything.

Even when Grenus was confirmed dead, she cried out with heartfelt emotion, "My Lord, please don't be hurt!"

You might call her sarcastic... but she was really into wailing, which made her seem much more filial than if she had immediately stood up and accused the son of the Falling Star Mission.

If the woman in the quilt had been crying for her father, coupled with her crying scene, most people present might have mistakenly thought that Gernus had an illegitimate daughter who had been abandoned.

But you could say she wasn't sarcastic; back in the group, her beaming smile was truly irritating.

Before Giza and his associates could be punished, someone died during the deliberations, a dramatic turn of events that caught everyone off guard.

Grenus had painstakingly built up a moral high ground, but now it has collapsed... Who should step in?

"Duke Sergio, please."

Inside the council hall, a murmur of discussion arose once again.

The Duke was already the highest-ranking nobleman among those present.

"What level is Renee's family?" Jiang Heyi asked.

Mint looked up at her, who was lazily yawning.

“Earl, but the title means nothing to them.”

"Rene's Grelian family has members who are among the top in the continent in alchemy, potion making, doll making, forging and smelting, magic array inscription and so on."

"They don't need titles to demonstrate their power."

This is also a major reason why almost everyone recognized Renee when she spoke.

As the most outstanding genius among the new generation of Grelian, and unparalleled in the empire, she made her name known throughout the imperial elite without relying on her family's influence.

"Although it's not quite appropriate to say it like that, wouldn't you be considered the empire's second genius, as verified by her?" the jailer asked.

“I want to be number one.” Mint glared at him, her words resolute.

However... seeing Renee looking weak, it's because her inner demons haven't been healed yet.

Is someone as confident as Mint really so strong that they would develop PTSD?
Her attitude in speaking up for Mint just now was quite intriguing.

Duke Sergio ascended the council platform.

This was a man around 30 years old, with a pair of hawk-like eyes staring intently at the crowd.

Upon taking office, he immediately emphasized his point of view: the punishment of Giza and the other eight people would be carried out in the form of atonement money.

The Empire originally intended to severely punish these eight people, but due to the sirens' attack on the Empire's territory, which damaged the Empire's prestige and caused losses to the Empire's coast, the decision to impose further punishment was reversed.

Moreover, Sergio also accused the Fallen Star Siren of ruthlessly persecuting the poor and innocent people along the coast. By sealing off the sea, the Siren cut off their livelihood. The Fallen Star Siren was using the incident to amplify its attacks, forcing countless ordinary people into the vortex.

A series of quick, accurate, and ruthless punches.

Jiang Heyi understood. This was... Although I was wrong, it was wrong of you to take action.

I admit that the Empire has 50% of the problems, but doesn't the Fallen Star Siren have the other half to blame?

Jiang Heyi extended his hand, and without a word, Kexia immediately understood and handed him several scrolls that he carried with him.

This unspoken understanding suddenly made French fries feel a little prickly...

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Kesha's tail had somehow ended up near Jiang Heyi's feet, with the tip occasionally brushing against his trouser leg.
"These are messages in bottles placed in the sea by fishermen, ship owners, and ordinary people you mentioned who were caught in the whirlpool. What do you think they might have said?"

"They're probably cursing the Fallen Star Siren for their undeclared war."

Jiang Heyi handed the scroll to Prince Sloan and asked him to project it into the air above the council hall.

Contrary to the Duke's guess.

In the scrolls, the ordinary people of Gunnar expressed their understanding and support for the sirens in straightforward language, while humbly requesting that an opening be left so that they could go out to sea to make a living.

There were no curses, only helplessness and understanding after learning the truth.

There is no irony more than this.

“The coastal city-states already know who the culprit is who caused their sea blockade, and they also know who they should hate for making their livelihoods difficult.” Jiang Heyi sneered, “It’s not the sea monsters, it’s the empire’s shameless lust that makes them covet the sea monsters.”

"What does it mean that people at the bottom of society lack awareness, only succumb to violence, and compromise with sirens?"

"Stop being unreasonable!"

Jiang Heyi's roar startled Duke Sergio and made many people present shudder.

"You mock those at the bottom for lacking awareness and backbone, but aren't their suffering caused by you bunch of useless parasites?!"

"The cause and effect of this matter are so obvious, yet you still intend to make trouble out of nothing. Is this the attitude of an empire that prides itself on being the hegemon of the continent?"

"Who scouted out suitable siren girls for these 8 people, giving them the courage to plot and force a relationship?"

"How many people in the Empire are aware of this?" "Does the Empire tacitly condone or condone this?"

"The Fallen Star Siren didn't pursue the matter, and the matter only ended with these eight people, but you keep talking about atonement money and everyone being at fault. Now I want to ask, Duke Sergio, what did the Siren do wrong!"

"Was it wrong of me to get angry?"

"Sirens have always been known for their kindness and gentleness. They dislike fighting and possess the vast ocean. They never hesitate to share this kindness with land creatures."

"But I think they are just too kind, which is why the Empire can shamelessly test them at every turn, taking the siren's good temper as their weakness and the confidence for the Empire to go further."

"Now the siren has finally become angry, the sea has changed color, and the empire's shipping has been disrupted. Instead of thinking about solving the problem, you are feeling angry."

"You are angry because that easy-to-bully guy dared to strike first."

“From the moment we arrived in the Empire, we have been obstructed and blocked at every turn. As an envoy, you always talk about considering the big picture and the consequences.” Jiang Heyi’s chest was filled with anger. “Why should I care about the face of your Empire?”

"You have the nerve to talk about the Empire's reputation? The Fallen Star Siren invited the Empire as a guest, and you actually protect that beast who planned to commit atrocities in the host's house."

"What continental hegemon? I think you're all a bunch of rotten insects!"

Every word was spoken with resounding force.

Jiang Heyi's genuine emotion plunged the council hall into absolute silence for more than ten seconds.

Almost all the nobles present were stunned, including Renee, who had a lazy expression and was just there to watch the show.

For the first time, she turned her attention to people other than Mint.

Duke Sergio, who was standing right next to him, was trembling.

Prince Sloan was also under strict control. Although he emotionally acknowledged Jiang Heyi, the blasphemous words about the empire in his speech were too offensive, so he could only remain silent.

Jiang Heyi was convinced that the condition for passing through the council hall was that the person in the thin veil dared to speak up, so he simply revealed everything without reservation.

"Let's speak frankly, you insects of the Empire. We did consider amicable negotiations to reach a punitive solution that satisfies both sides."

"But now, I've changed my mind."

"There's no point in talking to shameless people like you who just repeat themselves."

"The eight men from Giza, either castrate them alive, or..." Jiang Heyi's murderous intent was chilling, "...die!"

"If the Empire cannot meet our demands, then we will use our own strength to seek justice for the Fallen Star Siren."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Heyi was surrounded by light particles that were invisible to non-players.

It was as if a sky full of stars was pouring down on me.

Jiang Heyi's experience bar soared, accompanied by a crisp "ding-dong" sound...

【Cyber ​​Potato】Max Level.

At this moment, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Outrageous! This is a blatant threat, an insult and provocation to the empire."

"Pah! Traitor! What right do you have to represent the Siren? You're just a bully who's using someone else's power to intimidate others."

Kesha precisely targeted the nobleman who had insulted Jiang Heyi as a traitor; despite the absence of seawater, she was able to swim out nimbly and quickly.

The speed was so fast that many high-ranking mages in the council hall couldn't react in time.

A blue lightning bolt flashed through the air, followed by a large number of afterimages of bubbles.

Before anyone else could do anything, the Ksha's Scales shone with dazzling light.

【Water Blade】

"stop!"

High-ranking mages rushed towards the third-level corridor from all directions.

Their spellcasting speed was like that of an infant compared to that of a siren.

In the blink of an eye, a severed hand flew up and landed among the exquisitely made-up and glamorous nobles.

Blood splattered from the cut like a fountain, splashing everywhere.

A brief second later, the terrified person screamed in horror.

High-ranking mages surged into the three-story corridor, blocking the fleeing nobles behind them.

They were also trembling.

The magical aura emanating from Kesha surged higher and higher, and this unassuming siren, the only one in the Fallen Star Mission, displayed the power of an eighth-tier being.

The races of the sea only dared to wait for the sirens to naturally decline, and no one ever dared to challenge their dominant position.

The same applies to terrestrial species.

Kesha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked disdainfully at the person who was trying to stop the bleeding from his severed hand.

“He said my lover wasn’t qualified to represent the siren, so I’m here to respond to him.”

Kesha looked around, every scale shimmering: "Now, who else wants me to respond?"

Someone shouted, "Does the Fallen Star Siren want to wage a full-scale war against the Empire? Can you bear that responsibility?"

Kexia glanced at Jiang Heyi, who was looking somewhat dumbfounded, and grinned.

"What he said was exactly what the Fallen Star Siren was thinking."

"Since there is no justice, the Fallen Star Siren shall seek justice for herself!"
