I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Chen Huijie couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. What a despicable mistress! What's she so smug about? If it weren't for Talulah being here, you wouldn't be the one taking care of your little devil!

Bai Yue rubbed against Vishdale's thigh and shook her head: "No need, we need to get people organized quickly. It's dangerous here, we must evacuate as soon as possible."

He got up, rubbed his face to clear his head, and then smiled at Talulah, who was already in shackles:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Talulah. Don't worry, you won't have to wear it for too long."

Talulah shook her head and said frankly, "There is no need to give me any special treatment. Koschei is very evil and has done many evil things, but to say that I am completely innocent would be a complete lie."

“I know perfectly well what I have done, and I do not ask for forgiveness.”

"But if this life is of use to you, then take it. As the victor, as the savior, you have the right to use it."

Chapter 103 The New Integration Movement

Standing atop the monument, Bai Yue looked down at the crowd gathered below, her expression utterly indifferent, and said coldly:

"At this moment, many of you do not deserve to live."

As soon as the words were spoken, chaos erupted.

The Sarkaz felt that their leader was talking about them, because for a long time, in the propaganda of the various countries, the existence of the demons was a mistake, and death was the only fate that suited them.

Some Sarkaz knelt in silence, whether out of fear of succubus art, despair at being abandoned by their redeemed, or for other reasons, they quietly awaited judgment.

Some Sarkaz scanned their surroundings, preparing to flee immediately if things went wrong.

The Infected members of the Reunion Movement felt that the powerful young man who had captured Talulah and subdued Bodracus and Frostnova was talking about them because they had committed unforgivable and heinous crimes.

Although many people consider this to be 'just' revenge.

But when they faced these heartless words, the bewilderment and fear that arose within them instantly shattered their sense of 'justice.' At this moment, in this place, they were nothing more than perpetrators.

Fear and despair spread among them.

Despite being bathed in the warm morning light, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. The oppressive feeling of death rapidly intensified their emotions, and many of them looked around anxiously, on the verge of collapse and madness.

Meanwhile, the Rhodes Island group watching from the back began to whisper among themselves.

Amiya, sensing the extreme emotions rapidly spreading among the crowd, asked with some concern, "Won't saying this really cause trouble?"

The Doctor shielded Amiya in front of him and said casually, "Don't worry, Rhodes Island is almost here. If anything happens, we'll run away and let him clean up the mess himself."

Kal'tsit's lips curled into a speechless smile, then she shook her head slightly and calmly said:

"Nothing will happen. As a young man, he is certainly not lacking in insight. And... even if something does happen, with them around, there will be no problem."

Her gaze fell upon the shield guards surrounding the monument, and the powerful father and daughter standing on either side of it.

Seeing that the scene was becoming somewhat agitated, Bozokasti slammed his halberd into the ground. Immediately, the ground shattered, and a thunderous explosion reached everyone's ears.

Froststar looked up at Bai Yue, who had almost lost her balance and fallen off the monument. Her lips twitched slightly, and she glared reproachfully at her father. Why was he so vengeful?

After confirming that Bai Yue wouldn't fall and there was no need for her to reach out and catch her, Froststar immediately drew her sword and began casting a spell on the sky.

In an instant, countless icicles were aimed at the ground.

Under the pressure of this overwhelming force, the scene returned to tranquility.

Having successfully built up the momentum, Bai Yue coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment of almost being betrayed by her father-in-law, then softened her voice:

"But is this really the right thing to do?"

?

The group, who had initially quieted down due to the pressure from Bodracus and Frostnova, became puzzled upon hearing this and began to ponder its meaning.

After waiting a few seconds, Bai Yue continued, "Indeed, your sins are undeniable, your actions are like those of beasts, and your thoughts are utterly despicable."

"But!" Bai Yue raised her voice, waving her hand sharply, sending a warm breeze across the faces of everyone present.

Everyone felt the warmth.

But this warmth was fleeting in the cold wind, and many people showed signs of discomfort due to the sudden change in temperature.

Bai Yue observed their expressions, taking in everything, and said loudly, "Just like this fleeting warm breeze, so too is human kindness. The war-torn wilderness has no place for mercy, and the cold frozen earth cannot nurture delicate flowers."

“Pain, fear, anger, jealousy, deception... this land has taught you many things, but it has never told you what justice is!”

Amidst the barrage of icicles aimed at them, everyone present, whether they liked it or not, began to think.

Looking at his figure standing in the sunlight, Vishdel, who was standing in the front row, was almost moved to tears. He looked so much like him, so much like the prince. This little guy was radiating the same brilliance as His Highness.

The Sarkaz were lost and confused.

For them, death is merely the end of the killing; when has anyone ever spoken to them about the word "justice"?

It existed in the past.

That name was Theresia, the queen of all Sarkaz, but she is dead... she died in a civil war that none of the Sarkaz who knew about it wanted to talk about again, a wound that would never be spoken of again.

And he!

Sarkaz boldly raised his head and stared directly at the boy who shared the same pink eyes as His Highness, his feelings almost indescribable.

Members of the Reunion Movement were lost and confused.

The fear of death shattered the righteous filter they had of their cause, and the moment they picked up the butcher's knife, they transformed from human beings into vengeful demons.

But were the suffering they endured in the past all fake?

On the tundra, their status was almost equivalent to that of livestock, Originium mines, Infected patrols, ordinary villagers... There, almost all non-Infected people harbored strong malice towards them.

Where was justice then?

Amiya clenched her fists and pressed them against her chest, her petite body trembling slightly. Her abilities allowed her to feel the most real pain of this land at this moment, like the pain of having her abdomen ripped open and her heart ripped out.

"Amiya." Kal'tsit noticed her abnormality immediately and said with concern, "Stop sensing. The intense emotions here will harm you."

"I'm fine, Dr. Kal'tsit." Amiya forced a smile and said slowly, "Compared to what they went through, I feel nothing."

The doctor also said with concern, "Don't push yourself too hard; your health is the most important thing."

"Well, I will."

Amiya responded in this way, but did not listen, continuing to use the Black Crown's power to delve deeper into the surging waves of emotion.

......

As Chen Huijie stood guard over Talulah, upon hearing the word "justice," she felt a throbbing in her heart that seemed to tear her soul out, and remained speechless for a long time.

Little devil, oh little devil, how much more do you want me to love you?!

Talulah stared blankly.

Gazing at the boy standing in the morning light and icicles, like a savior, even the many doctrinal texts of Lateran rarely depict a scene comparable to this.

...

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive; many people were trembling uncontrollably, their faces contorted in agony, laughing and crying like madmen.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yue broke her silence and spoke slowly: "Justice is not about strength or weakness, but about right and wrong, sin and punishment. On this land, no one can forgive your sins."

The atmosphere dropped two degrees.

"And no one can judge your sins."

Everyone was shocked. Did they still have the right to be judged?

Bai Yue raised his head and gestured, and a brilliant rainbow shone down from the sky. He said, "Because this authority is no less than that of a person, a city, a country, or even a race."

"This authority comes from recognition."

"This land does not recognize you, therefore, no one can judge your sins."

"but!"

"At this moment, in this body, I acknowledge you, acknowledge the pain you have suffered, acknowledge the sins you have inflicted on others, acknowledge your good, acknowledge your evil."

"Here, gentlemen, whatever your reasons for standing here, I extend an invitation to you to join the newly formed integration movement, and to hand over the authority that you cannot grasp to the organization."

"I hereby swear that justice will come upon each and every one of you!"

Bai Yue finished speaking.

The well-prepared online trolls immediately began to chant, "Long live justice!"

The sound was like a spark thrown into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting the confusion and uncertainty of some people.

Long live justice!

Then, at some point, a voice rang out, "Long live the leader!"

Then the sound spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, until the shouts shook the heavens.

"Long live the leader! Long live justice!"

Chapter 104 The Messenger in the Shadows

The members of the new Reunion Movement, led by Bozokasti and his Shield Guards, have divided into small teams and are carrying supplies as they evacuate the core city.

End of the line.

Kal'tsit walked beside Bai Yue with a strange expression and said, "Bai, are you really going to be the leader of this new Reunion Movement?"

Bai Yue looked around, pulled Shuangxing in front of her to block her view, and complained directly, "Of course not! I'd be crazy to be their leader. They have nothing, and I don't want to eat frozen potatoes with them."

"Let Bozokas enjoy this blessing on behalf of the old man. He's tall and can handle it."

Kal'tsit was speechless for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, feeling that she had made a foolish mistake. She had actually developed unrealistic fantasies about him because of his brief speech just now. Sigh, you can't trust a succubus's words!

“And what about these Sarkaz?” she asked again, glancing at Vishdel beside her.

“Well…” Bai Yue glanced at Vishdel, then smiled faintly, “Hey, we’re all Sarkaz fellow countrymen. Since they respect me, I’ll bring them something nice.”

Vishdel returned his gentle smile, then turned to Kal'tsit, the smile vanishing, replaced by hostility, and said sarcastically:

"Kal'tsit, how come I never knew you cared so much about the Sarkaz?"

Kal'tsit wasn't surprised. She calmly said, "Vishdel, if you insist on discussing the rights and wrongs of the past with me, then I have nothing to say. But now that Bai has submitted a verbal application and the Doctor has agreed to allow some Sarkaz warriors to be stationed on Rhodes Island, I think it's necessary for me to understand this matter."

"Tsk." Vishdel's expression turned somewhat displeased, but there was nothing he could do. This old cat did indeed have some power, so he might as well say something; it wouldn't hurt him.

So, she crossed her arms and stood next to Kal'tsit, explaining the whole story to her.

The group walked for a while.

At a fork in the road, they came face to face with Rhodes Island operators escorting a group of Chernobog citizens.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

But after the Sarkaz warriors silently brandished their clubs, the citizens immediately recalled the painful memory of being hit eight times in one second yesterday. They couldn't bother to vent their frustrations and hurriedly followed the Rhodes Island operators with their heads down.

It has a bit of a hellish joke feel to it.

But Froststar stopped in her tracks.

Bai Yue didn't react in time and bumped into her back. Before he could think of what to do, Shuangxing turned around, took his hand, and whispered:

"Be careful."

"Oh." Bai Yue nodded casually. He hadn't slept well last night, and the few words he had just said had killed a lot of brain cells. He didn't really want to talk anymore.

Frostnova squeezed his warm little hand, and said hesitantly, "Um...can I go back to Reunion?"

?

Bai Yuelai is in good spirits.

"No!" Bai Yue immediately rejected her request, gripped her hand tightly, and said firmly, "I won't allow you to go back. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're not allowed to participate in this 'self-purification' within the Integration Movement."

Froststar's breath hitched, and she smiled helplessly, "It's not that serious, is it?"

"Is it really that serious?" Bai Yue scoffed. "Don't fool yourself. In the past, the Reunion Movement had the basic principle that infected people should not harm other infected people. But now, they are pursuing justice. Once they reach a safe zone, their extremist emotions will immediately turn into a purge of their own people."

"Just like how some Reunion members wanted to kill that scumbag brat Mephisto in the past, there's no shortage of people like that in the current Reunion."

What can you do if you go back now?

"I..." Frostnova couldn't speak, her hand instinctively reaching for the sword hanging at her waist.

Bai Yue saw her action, then blinked and teased, "What, you can't win an argument and you want to chop me up, or you just can't bring yourself to do it?"

"Sigh." Froststar sighed helplessly, "Don't joke around, I won't hurt you, it's just that my dad is all alone, and I'm a little worried."
