Chapter 895 (1/2)
Chapter 895: Vol V Chapter 255
Humans on Earth often discussed matters of justice and fairness. For example, doctors were meant to treat the wounded and ill, even if these people were evil villains. Another example would be to tear down other poor peoples’ houses in a situation of fire to prevent the fire from spreading. One last example would be sacrificing one innocent soul to save another equally innocent soul… These issues were not worth discussing when the people were evil but were always issues of debate when they happened to good and honest people.
On the other hand, in this world, such a debate was not useful. If one wanted to find out if something was just or not, they could simply approach the God of Justice.
Yorgaardman was the God of Justice, and using his powers, he could directly access the core of this world and determine right and wrong in any situation.
Such judgments were not based on his personal opinion but rather due to his ability to sense this world’s core instinct. One could explain it as saying that although his jurisdiction was not absolute, it reflected the general justice values of the entire world.
To Sui Xiong, this was already good enough.
Both the Orcs and the humans had no right to claim that their side was more just. Sui Xiong thus did not have a burden to weigh the situation in terms of values. Now, Sui Xiong could view the matter with a peaceful and matter-of-fact attitude.
Towards the speech given by the God of War and the verdict given by the God of Justice, most of the gods were approving and supportive. However, there were a few who furrowed their brows, clearly showing disagreement. These were mostly gods who had shallow relations with either the Human God System or the Orc God System, but they still wished for the side they supported to win.
The Void Mask was currently the most likely contender for the title of the strongest god among the Divine Powers. He also had a huge group of supporters and people under him. Once he entered the battle, the side he was on was almost certain to win. Be it the Human God System or the Orc System, no side would be able to truly defend against the other if Sui Xiong was helping the latter.
It was no wonder that each side wanted Sui Xiong’s help desperately, or at the very least, wished for him to not provide aid to the enemy.
As to whether or not the Orc System would succeed in convincing Sui Xiong, well… that was another matter entirely.
After hearing Yorgaardman’s verdict, Sui Xiong mulled it over for a while before addressing the gods again. “I think, towards the verdicts given by the God of War and the God of Justice, I would like to hear any third opinions if any.”
The gods were all silent, and no one spoke up.
Sui Xiong smiled and said, “Although I can be sure that both sides are not exactly right or good, this does not stop me from helping one of the sides. Who do you all think I should help and support, the humans or the Orcs?”
“I think you should support the humans.” The first to speak was the Goddess of Joy. She was the Master God of the Sorrow-Proof God System. She glanced at all the gods present before continuing, “From the point of view of civilization development, the humans are clearly more advanced as compared to the Orcs. The Void Mask’s priesthood is development and improvement, so it is natural that he should support the more developed side.”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly as he felt that the Goddess of Joy made sense.
Since this battle was between two evils, there was no need to discuss it further in terms of right or wrong. If that was the case, Sui Xiong should then of course help the side that had more development potential.
