Chapter 822 - Double-edged Sword (2/2)
As I completed my definitions for Law, I discovered tosince been discarded by inal world of Earth was actually the best explanation for my personal interpretation of Law
“…It’s actually the bloody and prial retaliation had a certain definition, but what I meant was actually quite simple
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”
Someone who harmed or killed others should be treated in the sa on how many crimes they committed Someone who tore out another person’s eye should have their own eye torn out Someone who killed another should be killed as well In the most primitive societies, it was a blood relative of the victie in the majority of situations Thus, this concept had another naeance was far too barbaric, vicious, and cruel,since forbidden such a thing
However, perhaps it was precisely because the world of Eich was too cruel and barbaric that my power of Law could be created in this world with such a form
The power of Laould use even crueler methods to scare evil villains Even if a villain was able to escape judgement in their life, they would still be punished after death in hell There would be zero exceptions to this
Law gave victieance Once an evil villain’s deeds were exposed for all to see, once the Codex of Law at the River Styx Hall recorded a person’s entire life, their heavy crile theave the innocent and weak a necessary sense of safety because the cut-off heads of villains would reh up on the castle walls in order to strike fear into the hearts of would-be villains in the future
Law gave the protectors and enforcers of the law an incomparably sharp sword as they were the protectors of the weak and ordinary people, as well as the representatives of vengeance for the victims
Obviously, this was rather extreme, bloody, barbaric, and unreasonable
But in this cruel world, if I used modern-day laws froinning to get rid of the death penalty, and the rich could si such “laritten in a peaceful generation” for this world would only ive a very sial theory from modern-day Earth as the foundation for Law in Eich, then hts would have to act like modern-day policemen even if they witnessed a ather evidence and witnesses, then send the criehts would be even weaker than modern-day policemen because the fixed Concept of Laould be far more inflexible and foolish than any justice system from Earth
I should also eance was beco ever rarer on modern-day Earth
“A murderer should pay with their own life”
This was considered common sense back in more ancient and primitive societies on Earth However,this idea that murderers had to face the death penalty Laws on Earth were becoave criminals who committed horrible criain
Eich was a world with liance to afford
“A chaotic world requires strict laws… this world is more chaotic than the word chaotic can describe, so the laws naturally must be endlessly severe”
Only after I confirmed the core of the fundamentals of Law that I wanted were Law Incantations born
Still, no matter what, Laas still a power of Order, and a type of elemental power in this world While Law needed to obey the definition of its own Concept, it also needed to obey the natural laws of the ele rules was a power of Order The power of Laasn’t the only power of Order related to rules
Prophecyon “reason” were actually using the various layers of rules This was quite siic spells were also the same as either the spell would succeed as expected, or the spell would fail and produce nothing
Wish ic would distort any wish that was difficult for the caster to achieve It would be i overly complex or to try and force a specific future to happen Thus, even if a pope tried to force a prophecy, he would still say that it was so really si a Law Incantation was still a competition of power between the two sides If the Law user won, then the Law Incantation would succeed If the villain was far too strong, then the attack-type Law Incantations would be weakened, and the binding incantations would become ineffective It was still a contest of ele was, the weaker its foundation would be The er and more difficult to distort it would become
In the end, when I resolved myself to create my Laord, I finally used the oal
“Begin judgeeance, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth… a life for a life!”
My double-edged runic short sword suddenly appeared in midair As Karatched in surprise, his physical body was directly torn apart into several pieces As I laughed at him, my physical body exploded at the same time
