"You were watching when Dyna and Orb transformed, right? You even said, 'I don't think you'd stand idly by in the face of these incessant screams.' Then let me ask you, why were you just watching before Dyna and Orb arrived?!"
Asuka and Kai looked at Musashi with complicated expressions; they had never been able to understand these two points from the beginning.
First, why didn't Musashi stop the Queen's transformation? Second, why didn't Gauss appear when they transformed?
Bai Yue said angrily.
"You respect this foolish queen's opinion, yet you disrespect the lives of others. You say Dyna and Orb stood by and did nothing, while you yourself watched all of this. Musashi, answer me, are you still a compassionate warrior?!"
Bai Yue was angry about this very thing. You could say that Musashi, in his transformed state, didn't know about it, or even if he saw it, he didn't want to care.
But Dyna had clearly asked him to get involved in this matter, and he even came to Canon, yet he just stood by and did nothing, causing heavy casualties, all under the guise of respecting the Queen's opinion.
If the Queen were to be accidentally detonated by the puppet poison, Gauss would wipe out all life in this universe!
Knowing full well the extremely dangerous consequences and the imminent casualties, his continued adherence to this double standard is what truly makes him unworthy of the title of compassionate warrior.
Bai Yue released his grip, and Musashi slumped weakly to the ground. Bai Yue then spoke.
"I didn't ask you to do everything or solve all the tragedies; that's unrealistic. But Musashi, what are you doing right now?"
"Faced with the imminent serious consequences and the incessant screams of the wounded, you actually sympathize with a queen who fled before the war."
“I understand that you may want the people of Ganon to overcome this difficulty on their own, but Asuka has already told you that this battle will affect more than just Ganon. Why are you letting all this happen? Have you ever cared about life on other planets?!”
Hearing Bai Yue's stern question, Hong Kai felt a pang of pity and wanted to step forward, but was pulled back by Asuka and Jugglus from the left and right.
"It's a bird," the bird said in a low voice.
"Don't go. Senior Baiyue is in a bad mood right now. If you go, you might get slapped too."
Jugglus also signaled with his eyes.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Don't meddle in other people's business.
Musashi, slumped on the ground, stared blankly at the light screen in the sky, where the cries of the people of Ganon were deafening. He lowered his head in silence, then suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the white moon.
"sorry!!"
Musashi said with a sense of guilt.
"I was too arrogant..."
Bai Yue patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said.
"Now that things have come to this, is the person you should apologize to me?"
Musashi suddenly realized what was happening and asked Captain Shinra, who had been watching the show from the sidelines.
"Captain Shinra, can you tell me where the refuge for the people of Ganon is?"
Captain Shinra nodded blankly and gave out an address. Musashi rushed over there without stopping, clearly wanting to do something for the people there.
Bai Yue looked at him with satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Dr. Caiqi, who was being escorted by General Laiying and Captain Senluo, and spoke.
"You all should get ready quickly. I'll stay here and await the outcome of the upcoming public trial."
The two nodded quickly and instructed their men to prepare accommodations for Bai Yue and the others.
............................................................
Some people will definitely ask if Asuka and Amaterasu are the two who slipped through the net. I can tell you that Amaterasu is definitely not going anywhere.
As for Asuka, since his trajectory in the book is different from the original, he won't utter that classic line, so he doesn't need to get beaten up, since he's been working quite hard.
Chapter 449 An Unexpected Public Trial
Two days later, with Musashi's help, most of the destroyed buildings on Ganon had been restored, and the injured people had been largely healed.
Aside from the unfortunate souls who have already died, it can be said that the Kingdom of Ganon has basically returned to its pre-war state.
Now that the wounds of war have begun to heal, the culprits who started the war should not escape judgment.
On the open-air platform, General Laiying was listing Dr. Caiqi's crimes, while Captain Shinra guarded Queen Amaterasu. Not far away, the Ultra Warriors and Jugglus Juggler watched the execution.
"...Finally, the defendant's talent invading the planet Ganon is a heinous crime, and he is hereby sentenced to beheading, to be carried out immediately!!"
Beside Caiqi, a guillotine stood tall, resembling those from medieval Europe on Earth, clearly intended for Caiqi to cosplay as Louis XVI.
"No...you can't do this!! Everything I've done is for the peace of the universe, and I'm spreading my own light for the peace of the universe!!"
Cai Qi said in terror, at this moment he desperately hoped that the little robot he had created or something else could rush out and save him, but obviously, this was just wishful thinking.
The robot had already been crushed by Bai Yue, and now he was personally overseeing things here, so no one could let Cai Qi escape.
The people below looked at him with eyes full of hatred. If Bai Yue hadn't said that Cai Qi should be dealt with in the fairest way, they probably would have torn him to pieces long ago.
"Such intense anger... If he were to relinquish his talent now, the people of Ganon would probably tear him apart alive..."
Hong Kai looked at the angry people below and said with lingering fear, Bai Yue glanced at him and smiled as she spoke.
"That's why we can't let the people of Ganon use vigilante justice. Watching a sinner be killed and killing that sinner with your own hands are ultimately different experiences. Without a firm will, one careless move could lead to being consumed by hatred."
“Only when the law cannot provide justice is private revenge justified and noble. Now that the law can do this, having him publicly tried on Ganon is the best course of action.”
"It will satisfy the people of Ganon without getting their hands dirty."
Hong Kai nodded thoughtfully, keeping Bai Yue's words in mind. Such experience, shared so generously by a senior, was extremely rare, and Hong Kai naturally wouldn't let it go in one ear and out the other.
Jugglus also heard Bai Yue's words. Even someone as proud as him couldn't help but feel impressed by Bai Yue's approach.
Achieving the greatest results with the least cost was something Jugglus Juggler had never imagined. Based on his long experience adventuring in the universe, he would have basically chosen to settle his score with a single, decisive strike.
Just after General Lai Ying finished reading Cai Qi's crimes, the soldiers escorted him to the execution platform. Just as they were about to put down the cleaver, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
"and many more!!"
The people of Ganon and those on the high platform turned to look, and saw Queen Amaterasu stand up and speak with compassion.
"Why commit further bloodshed? Now that the crisis has passed, why can't we forgive our former enemies and end this pointless battle?"
General Lai Ying's expression immediately turned serious, and he pressed him for an answer.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to make us release this culprit who has brought so much suffering to the people of Ganon?!"
Queen Amaterasu nodded and spoke.
"This is my decision as Queen. I do not want anyone else to die because of this war!!"
The people of Ganon below stared at Queen Amaterasu in disbelief. They never imagined that their queen would utter such words of favoritism towards the enemy.
"No, Your Majesty!!"
"That's right! How can we let these invaders who invaded Ganon get away with this?!"
"My children and my husband died at Baalshib's hands. How can I face my dead family if he is released?!"
............................................................
The crowd below was indignant and disagreed with Queen Amaterasu's decision. Queen Amaterasu looked at all this with some bewilderment. In her heart, shouldn't it be that once she spoke up, she could let go of the talent and everyone could live in harmony?
How did it come to this?
"They really are high and mighty..."
A voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. The voice was not loud, but it was clearly imprinted in everyone's mind. Everyone unconsciously stopped shouting and turned their eyes to the person who made the voice.
Bai Yue slowly walked to Queen Amaterasu's side, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently at her, and spoke.
"Now that we've come this far, people are dead, houses are destroyed, and we've finally caught the culprit, you think you can just let them go with a single sentence? Do you think that's possible?!"
Captain Senluo's heart tightened when he saw Bai Yue appear.
This big shot wasn't as merciful as the other Ultra Warriors. Just as he was about to speak up to dissuade the Queen from returning, Queen Amaterasu spoke up.
"It's precisely because the people of Ganon are already dead that we can't let any more people die, right?!"
Bai Yue was so angry at her logic that he laughed. Too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, he addressed the people of Ganon below.
"See that, people of Ganon? Look just how stupid your queen has become!!"
Bai Yue waved his hand, and a screen of light appeared in the sky. Everyone present looked up and saw that it reflected Queen Amaterasu.
Bai Yue spoke up.
"This is how your queen reacted when war came! Take a good look!!"
Inside the light screen, upon hearing the news of Dr. Genius's invasion, Queen Amaterasu's first reaction was not to organize forces to prepare for defense, but to speak to Captain Shinra and General Laiying.
"I don't want to see war, let's surrender..."
The people of Ganon below stared in disbelief at this scene. "Queen, aren't you supposed to be able to transform into a war god? Why do you immediately want to surrender?"
The light screen shifted, beginning to play the scene where General Lai Ying forced the Queen to transform into a war goddess. Just as the guards stormed into the council chamber, they discovered that the Queen had actually run away.
In the grove, Queen Amaterasu ran through the trees without any grace. Clearly, the strongest fighter on Ganon had become a deserter before the battle even began, or even before the enemy arrived.
Queen Amaterasu watched all this with a deathly pale face. She could feel the questioning gazes of the people of Ganon behind her gradually turning fiery; clearly, their anger had begun to spread.
Chapter 450 A Tested Warrior of Surrender
"No...that's not it...I just...I just don't want to see war again..."
Queen Amaterasu tried to explain herself in a panic, but her ramblings clearly failed to convince the indignant people of Ganon below.
The reason she hasn't rushed up directly is twofold: firstly, she is, after all, the queen who has ruled this place for so long; and secondly, Bai Yue is still speaking.
With a wave of his hand, Bai Yue caused the light screen in the sky to shift again, changing to the image of Queen Amaterasu when she was poisoned by the puppet.
Queen Amaterasu suddenly told the Ultra Warriors that she should take the initiative to communicate with Quinn, and she shouted this out loud.
"I believe... I believe that Quinn is also capable of communication. If we can communicate with her, perhaps we can avoid this war!!"
Then the camera shifts to the people of Ganon below, being chased by Baalzeb. This familiar scene makes the people of Ganon below clench their fists.
They glared at Queen Amaterasu with fury. The enemy had come knocking on their door, their own people had been killed, and she still wanted to communicate?!
As expected, Queen Amaterasu was immediately stabbed in the back and injected with puppet poison.
Queen Amaterasu was kneeling on the ground in agony, but in her mind, a different scene was playing out.
"Help me...help me...Shōhei..."
What followed was a truly astonishing scene: in stark contrast to the physical pain, Queen Amaterasu was being embraced by a strange young human man within her consciousness.
