Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 45 Death penalty, to be carried out immediately!
The following morning, fighter jets landed one after another outside the Gangnam Court, and planetary-level members of parliament from around the world arrived one after another.

Around 9 a.m., in a spacious courtroom, apart from Hong and Thor who were still unconscious, all the planetary-level members of parliament from around the world were present, waiting for Lu Jin to arrive.

"Wow—"

Just then, the courtroom doors were pushed open again by bailiffs, and Lu Jin entered the courtroom with a female reporter from the official television station and a haggard-looking white woman.

"Speaker Lu!"

"Speaker Lu!"

"."

Upon seeing Lu Jin's arrival, all the global planetary-level members of parliament seated in the courtroom stood up and bowed.

On Earth, members of parliament and speakers are not elected; the sole criterion for becoming a member of parliament or speaker is ability.

Lu Jinlian could easily kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor, so he is naturally recognized as the Speaker of the Council worldwide.

Upon seeing the white woman following behind Lu Jin, more than half of the members of parliament present were greatly alarmed.

Most people on Earth don't know who this haggard-looking white woman is, but they certainly do.

After all, this is Tessia, the wife of the former Third Speaker, the Ice Emperor Mohanderson.

Just three months ago, after her husband sacrificed himself to protect humanity, Tessaia suffered the pain of losing her son, and all of Merhandson's inheritance was taken away.

The culprit was Atkin.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Jin is going to target the interest group led by Atkins.

Otherwise, there would be no need to hold the meeting in the courthouse, nor would there be any need for Tessaya to participate.

If more than half of the members of parliament present were merely greatly alarmed, then Atkinson, Yan Hai, Sago Nehru, and others were genuinely terrified.

After nodding in response, Lu Jinrang had the two people behind him stand to one side of the judge's bench, then walked to the presiding judge's seat, and waved his right hand after taking his seat.

‘Shua——’

Suddenly, the entire room fell silent.

Then, Lu Jin said, "Without further ado, since the Great Nirvana, humanity has produced many admirable heroes, especially the eight heroes who emerged in the battle against the Devouring Beast."

However, while heroes emerge, there are also despicable scoundrels who abuse their power and do whatever they want.

I don't deny that these scumbags have also made some contributions, such as hunting monsters.

In my view, however, the status and power they possess are enough to offset the contributions they have made.

"I have summoned you all here today to eradicate this evil trend."

"Speaker Lu, are you really going to be so heartless?"

As Lu Jin finished speaking, Atkin, whose face had turned extremely ugly, said in a deep voice.

"Ha~, heartless? Atkin, with your ant-like strength, you dare to call yourself ruthless?!"

Lu Jin chuckled lightly and said dismissively.

Lu Jin glanced at Atkin and then looked at the others present: "I have no connection with Third Speaker Mohandson, but Mohandson's noble spirit of sacrificing for the survival of mankind is worthy of my respect and the respect of the whole world."

However, the family of this great hero was murdered by a villain three months ago.

I, Lu Jin, cannot stand idly by in the face of this.

Now, I declare Atkin, Yan Hai, Sago Nehru, Austin Keck, and Bowen Elliott guilty of coveting the relics of heroes and persecuting their families.

Five people were sentenced to death and the sentences were to be carried out immediately!

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The next moment, the Black God Armor materialized on Atkins and his group of five. They didn't intend to join forces to kill Lu Jin; instead, they sped off in different directions from the courtroom.

For a planetary-level powerhouse, the walls of the courtroom are no different from bubbles; there's no need to rush towards the entrance, they can simply smash through the walls.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Lu Jin snorted coldly, and an invisible and intangible surge of boundless mental power surged out, instantly attacking the five people.

'boom! ''boom! ''boom! ’

As the terrifying psychic attack struck, Atkin and the other four felt a thunderous roar in their souls before their souls collapsed, turning into five corpses that crashed to the ground.

The vast difference in strength meant that Atkin and the others couldn't even withstand Lu Jin's simple telekinetic attacks.

Immediately afterward, from Lu Jin's perspective, a dazzling golden light flashed across the corpses of Atkin, Yan Hai, and Sago Nehru, and a pure golden ball of light fell from each of them.

Without checking the three critical hit drops for the time being, Lu Jin looked at the group of shocked councilors present and continued, "Besides these five scumbags who persecuted the families of heroes, there are also scumbags who can be called demons on earth."

They slaughtered humans and trafficked drugs. One crime after another, they did nothing good but committed heinous acts.

I hereby announce that Xiao Chusheng, Verick, Dylan Houston, and the other three are sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!

"Speaker Lu, spare our lives! We know we were wrong!"

The nine men immediately begged for mercy.

"You don't know you're wrong; you just know you're going to die!"

After Lu Jin finished speaking, his formless and intangible mental power surged out once again.

In an instant, nine more corpses of planetary-level military officers appeared in the courtroom.

At the same time, two pale golden lights flashed, and two of the nine councilor corpses exploded into two pale golden orbs of light, representing ordinary drops.

At this moment, the gazes of all the councilors looking at Lu Jin were filled with awe, and some of them were even filled with fear.

After all, they had done their share of illegal and disorderly conduct, and they were unsure of Lu Jin's standards for judgment, fearing that they might end up on the kill list.

Pointing to the numerous corpses on the ground, Lu Jin said, "I hope you can learn from the fate of these fourteen people."

I can say this very bluntly: there are plenty of people on Earth, so don't take yourselves too seriously.

In my eyes, planetary-level politicians are no different from ordinary people; they are all so easily defeated.

"Yes, Speaker Lu."

The assembled councilors echoed the sentiments without daring to utter a single dissenting opinion.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Then, Lu Jin raised his hand and retrieved the Black God Set from the fourteen corpses.

There are quite a few Black God sets on Earth. Although it's impossible for every high-level War God to have a set, every councilor has one.

After storing the fourteen sets of Black God suits into his cheat space, Lu Jin continued, "Punishing evil and eliminating wickedness cannot only involve punishing the ringleaders. The interest groups headed by these fourteen people should be eradicated by the authorities of various countries as soon as possible. No one should be let go. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced."

The property confiscated from these interest groups should be given priority to be returned to the families of heroes whose inheritances were plundered.

If there is any surplus, it will be used for reconstruction work that could not be completed after the battle with the Devouring Beasts in various places.

During this process, I, the Speaker, will not allow anyone to embezzle; otherwise, I will uproot all those who reach out and the interest groups behind them.

After issuing the warning, Lu Jin looked at the members of parliament from the United States, India, and the European Union and said, "I, the Speaker, request that the governments of your three countries build a hero's memorial in the base city where these three heroes, Merhandson, Tripati Singh, and East, reside within one month."

As for the bodies of Atkinson and the other four, they were taken away by American senators and later cast into bronze statues, which now kneel eternally in the Merhandson Heroes Memorial.
