Infinite Anime Transformed into Sky Striker

At this time, Lingyi cast a healing spell on Bud.

"Don't worry, you won't die so easily. You will die behind this empire and see with your own eyes how everything you protect disappears."

113. If you don’t fight, you can’t survive! (Refresh)

Lingyi dragged General Bud back to the execution ground outside the city with one hand.

Then the former pillar of the empire was thrown into the dust at the edge of the execution ground like a piece of broken garbage.

Bud's body was already badly damaged - covered with wounds, his meridians were precisely cut, and blood mixed with dust, staining his armor red.

He collapsed to the ground, like a dead dog deprived of its dignity, with only his neck and eyeballs still able to move slightly.

He scanned the execution ground with difficulty, his pupils trembling slightly with shock.

At the execution ground, the angry civilians erupted like a flood, turning into a tide of revenge and rushing towards the powerful people who were imprisoned by the purple runes.

The nobles and evil leaders of the past are now just lambs to be slaughtered.

The roar of the crowd was deafening, mixed with painful memories and the joy of revenge—

A woman raised a stone and kept throwing it at a man in a suit. Both the stone and the woman were covered in blood.

A young man tore the dirt and weeds from the ground and frantically stuffed them into the mouth of a once arrogant official. The dirt mixed with tears covered his face.

What's worse, they would rush forward and tear the sinner's flesh and blood with their teeth and nails, screaming and roaring, as if they wanted to return all the humiliation and pain.

Bud's eyes froze and a low roar escaped from his throat.

This iron-blooded general who had fought all his life was not burning with anger in his chest, but with the trembling of powerlessness and regret.

The empire and the people he protected have now turned into crazy avengers in this trial.

It looked like a wild beast being released.

Ling Yi stood aside, watching all this coldly with her emerald eyes.

Her voice was low and clear, piercing through the clamor and piercing Bud's heart: "See, this is what you guard. When the rules are set for the wicked, justice can only be repaid with blood."

These civilians, who were as docile as lambs, were now displaying such a frenzied attitude that even Bud, who had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was frightened.

Especially when a little girl giggled while holding a noble's severed tongue, a sob mixed with blood foam finally escaped from the general's throat.

Among these suffering dignitaries was the little emperor to whom Bud offered his loyalty.

Although he was just a puppet controlled by Ernest, Lingyi did not let him go, and the people did not let him go either.

The Holy Emperor and he are both puppets, but their natures are different.

The Holy Emperor knows what is happening in the country, and wants to change it and is working hard for it, but reality makes her temporarily powerless.

This is not her fault. In her situation where even social interaction is restricted, unless she has extraordinary abilities, such as Lingyi's martial arts skills, she will be powerless in the short term.

Those in power do have the responsibility to ensure that the people live a better life. Failure to do so is dereliction of duty.

But no one needs to bear the responsibility and guilt for not being a superman. Not having the ability is one thing, and being a superman is another. Sometimes human power is beyond one's reach.

And the little emperor - he actually didn't do anything wrong.

He was indeed not wise enough to see that the minister was deceiving him, but this was understandable considering his young age.

But how many of these orders were issued by him? How many of them were approved by him personally?

Even if they were deceived, people were indeed persecuted because of him. This is the difference between him and the Holy Emperor. One has not done anything yet, and the other has already done something.

In law, there are concepts of negligent homicide and indirect principal offender.

The little emperor cannot escape responsibility for the tragedy that indirectly caused countless people.

Ignorance and youth could not protect him from such great evil.

"......"

Lingyi looked at the huge execution ground where hundreds of thousands of people gathered with great interest.

She loves to see innocent people strike back and exact revenge on vermin.

But...

Feeling inferior to me...torture.

People’s hatred and anger are real, but they may still lack imagination and ability.

If Lingyi did it herself, she could definitely make the screams one or two times louder and more miserable.

It seems that after all the torture, I still have to use the fire of karma to put an end to it.

Lingyi returned to Patchouli's side, released healing magic with Patchouli, and watched from the side.

But at this moment she noticed a figure that looked out of place.

She was a little girl and she did not participate in the revenge against the powerful.

She, like Lingyi and Patchouli, was just watching from the sidelines, and the little girl was now looking at them.

“Why not get involved?”

Lingyi came to the little girl's side.

“Why get involved?”

"Don't you have any grudge against them? Even if you don't, don't you want to kill them?"

"I have no grudges, nor do I want to. If the weak are bullied, it is their own problem."

"Yeah....."

Lingyi frowned slightly.

If there was no black mist on the little girl, she might have used a knife based on what the other person said.

"The man you just brought back is General Budd, right?"

The little girl had no idea that she had just been to the gates of hell. She took the initiative to speak and looked very interested.

"Yes."

"You easily captured everyone in the imperial capital, and before that, when you were in the city..."

The more the little girl spoke, the brighter her eyes became.

"Can you teach me to become stronger?!"

Finally she stated her purpose.

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

"Do I need a reason to become stronger?"

The little girl frowned, as if she was asked a question she couldn't understand.

"At least I need it here."

"Well......"

The little girl lowered her head and began to think.

Lingyi turned to look at the execution ground, watching people continue to seek revenge.

"For survival!"

The little girl suddenly spoke, and when Lingyi turned around, she saw the little girl's serious and determined look.

"Becoming stronger is for survival! If you don't become stronger and don't fight, you won't be able to live!"

Are you Kamen Rider too?

Ling Yi took a look at the little girl in front of her - long light blue hair, ice blue eyes, and the hidden...

Oh, it's the traces of training and fighting.

"I can't teach you."

"Why? I can pay any price! As long as it allows me to become as strong as you!"

The child is somewhat too ambitious.

"I can't teach you. My power is special and only I can use it."

"..."

The little girl did not give up. She stubbornly raised her head and stared at Lingyi.

Lingyi was completely unmoved and just stared back.

After a while, the little girl's momentum weakened.

"Is there no way... I want to become stronger... I want to live..."

"I will create a new order where people can survive without becoming stronger."

"That's a life given by others. It's meaningless."

The little girl shook her head.

"Well...tell me your story. I'll think about it after I hear it."

...............................................................Modify and supplement characters

ps: The age of the little emperor is set to 10 in this article, and Esdeath is 14. I remember that the adult Esdeath was 20 years old when she officially appeared in the animation. Six years later, Esdeath became an adult, and the little emperor was still a minor.

114. Do you want to sign a contract and become a magical girl?

The story of the little girl is very simple——

She was born in the northern border area of ​​the empire and is the daughter of the chief of the Baruts tribe, a people who specialize in hunting dangerous species.

He lost his mother at a young age, and under the influence of the harsh living environment and his father's education, the idea of ​​the survival of the fittest was deeply ingrained in him since childhood.

After returning from a solo hunting trip, she discovered that her people had been slaughtered by the northern alien tribes. From then on, she became more convinced that the only way to survive was to become strong.

She believed that Lingyi was indeed very strong, and the security she provided must be extraordinary.

She had no intention of questioning Lingyi's strength, but the survival given by others was meaningless because Lingyi could take it back at any time.

Even if it is not taken back, various special circumstances will always occur.

"So you must be strong yourself!"

The little girl said something quite insecure.

Considering what she'd been through, this isn't surprising.

However, Lingyi is not very interested in taking in a young apprentice.

"Well... let's put it this way. I can give you a way to become stronger, but the price is that everything you have, including yourself, will belong to me. You must obey me completely and not have any thoughts of disobedience."

"Become your slave?"

The little girl frowned, but agreed without much hesitation.

"No problem. The weak obey the strong, and the strong dominate the weak. This is a matter of course!"

"Not a slave. I just don't want to raise a pest who will hurt innocent people."

The little girl’s idea of ​​the survival of the fittest cannot be said to be without problems, but it cannot be said to be completely problematic either.

However, if they are not restricted and guided, they are likely to grow crooked when they grow up.

"Innocent people...are you referring to those people?"

The little girl looked at the crazy people on the execution ground with a confused look.

"That's right. The weak are meant to be protected. Even if we don't protect them, we shouldn't trample on or oppress them, except when we are enemies."

"Or let me put it this way. If I happened to be passing by when your people were being massacred by the foreigners, would you prefer that I lend a helping hand to the weak Baruts, or join the foreigners and exterminate them even more quickly and brutally?"

"..."
