Chapter 212: Chapter 207: Sin

One plus one equals two.

This is a mathematical truth.

And there are truths between people as well.

The majority always outnumber the minority; this is the truth of the human species.

Thus, when the majority decided to carry out the judgment, the others had no way of stopping them. Rather, for their own preservation, they had to conform to the thoughts of the majority.

Irrelevant of reality, irrelevant of right or wrong.

Even if the girl had done nothing, she was still dragged by her hair to the place of judgment amidst the angry shouts of the people.

A circle of adults yelled at her in anger and wept in sorrow, accusing her of being a demon.

And others remained silent, turning their faces away, unwilling to look at her.

The girl did not understand what had happened; she could only look around in astonishment.

People did not kill the girl directly because their actions were not for personal desires but for the happiness of the many.

Therefore, their actions had to be justified!

And unlike the legality that pertains to human laws, their justification came from God.

Their guideline was the divine justification, so the presence of the Holy Daughter, who could convey the revelations of God, was essential!

The verdict of this trial had to be issued by God, not by them.

Therefore, Liliana was also escorted to the place of judgment, staring astonishedly at her only friend, who was disheveled and injured.

"Holy Daughter! Please deliver to us God’s revelation!"

People pleaded with Liliana.

"What is going on here?" Liliana urgently asked those around her.

"That girl is a demon! Her parents took away everyone’s future through a ritual and gave it all to their daughter! Therefore, she must be tried! We must atone! It is for everyone’s happiness!"

"Indeed! She must be tried!"

"Holy Daughter, pray for God’s judgment for us!"

Sharp screams arose one after another, unceasingly weakening, like waves crashing against Liliana’s face.

"I..."

Liliana looked around helplessly, not knowing how to react at the moment.

But when she looked at her friend and saw her frightened expression, Liliana’s heart finally resolved.

They had promised each other to always be friends and always protect each other.

Therefore, she had to save her friend, using her identity as the Holy Daughter.

Thus, she declared:

"You are mistaken, she is not evil—Ah!"

However, before Liliana could finish speaking, her petite body was struck with a massive force.

She was kicked away.

Excruciating pain.

Not just surface pain, but a profound internal agony, and Liliana could not stop coughing.

She did not understand what had happened, what had really occurred.

Then, the sorrowful cries of the people gave Liliana the Answer.

"The Holy Daughter has been deceived by the demon!"

"No wonder we always saw the Holy Daughter with that girl. The demon was deceiving the Holy Daughter!"

"At this point, the Holy Daughter is no longer trustworthy! She has become an accomplice to the demon!"

Liliana should have realized long before; she was not truly a Holy Daughter, and the people did not truly need her as one.

Yet, even so, for her friend’s sake, Liliana still did not want to give up!

So, enduring the pain, she said:

"No! I haven’t been deceived! She really isn’t..."

But this time, Liliana still couldn’t voice her true thoughts because she heard the desires of the people.

"The Holy Daughter is beyond saving, but we must not be deceived! Therefore, let’s put her and the demon on trial together!"

"Putting the demon on trial with the Holy Daughter is for the good of everyone, for the happiness of the Holy Daughter!"

"...Huh?" Liliana froze, her mind turning blank as if struck, her pupils rapidly contracting.

That familiar sensation once again climbed up her spine, stinging her nerves.

A feeling of fear.

Liliana once again felt the fear of death.

If she did not comply with the crowd’s wishes to carry out the judgment, both she and the girl would die!

Seeing those twisted expressions, Liliana was utterly convinced that they would indeed act in such a manner.

She blankly looked at her friend, observing a perhaps similar expression of fear on her face.

At that moment, Liliana saw a choice.

Her life or her friend’s life, pick one.

Liliana had to make a choice.

Moreover, the people did not give Liliana time to hesitate; they had already rushed forward eagerly.

The shadows cast by their bodies covered Liliana’s entire field of vision, allowing her not a speck of light.

Liliana’s head was forcefully pressed to the ground, while her limbs were pulled at, as if they wanted to tear her apart.

Liliana saw that those people were all looking at her with tense, worried expressions. She also heard them, all discussing words that showed concern for her.

The scenes she perceived in that moment were not just shadows but transformed into profound darkness piercing into Liliana’s body, leaving wounds that would never heal.

Overwhelmed by indescribable fear, Liliana finally made her choice.

She... wanted to live.

"...She is not a demon; she is just a poor child possessed by a demon. Her fate is doomed to be eternally scorched by Hellfire, which is truly pitiful. Therefore, we must grant her redemption! Put her on trial and free her from that miserable fate!... This is the revelation of God."

The people wept with joy because their Holy Daughter had finally overcome the deception.

Liliana also freed herself from the fear of death by betraying her friend, and she survived.

She dared not look at her friend, but she had to face the girl because it was the judgment she had delivered; she had to face it.

But the girl did not roar at Liliana as she had expected.

She just looked at Liliana... expressionless, indifferent.

She said nothing, just continued to look indifferently at Liliana.

Until... as people cheered loudly and threw the girl into the burning flames, she finally let out a heart-wrenching cry of sorrow.

No one can endure the burning of flames; not even the most resolute will can withstand it.

Her abruptly ended life’s final sound, along with that wisp of black smoke, drifted toward the sky.

As the people watched this cruel scene, there was not a hint of fear or guilt in their hearts.

Because their actions were justified, permitted by God, who could question the legitimacy of God?

...

Humans are born sinful.

Therefore, redemption must be sought in life to enter into the embrace of God after death, heading to the eternal happiness of heaven.

This was the phrase Liliana heard the most since her birth.

But she never took it seriously.

As Liliana listened to the screams of those being scorched and watched others look with bliss at the person being consumed by flames and the wisp of smoke soaring toward the sky, seemingly heading to heaven, she understood.

There is no God in this world.

If there is, then God is the most vile and despicable mongrel.
