Chapter 386: Chapter 383: "Su Rin, You Died So Miserably

Having heard her words, Su Ming’an could only sense the irony.

"Righteousness."

...There was never any clear-cut "righteousness."

It was a belief, not a concept, dependent solely on the subjective judgments of people; there was never any objective, correct righteousness, only a "better, more suitable" righteousness. It was the result of people standing on their side of the argument.

The Princess believed that killing the traitorous Su Rin, who dared to dream of overthrowing the dynasty, was justice.

Whereas the Sea Monsters considered killing the Princess, whom everyone saw as a monster, to be justice.

To save what they deemed as the righteous side and defeat what they deemed as the unrighteous side.

Clearly,

The Sea Monsters standing on their side saw the Tulip Princess, who was eager to reclaim the throne, as "unrighteous."

And the residents who supported the "World-saving Hero" Su Rin, fearful of the Sea Monster Princess who appeared monstrous on the outside, also regarded "the righteous hero Su Rin defeating the evil King of Sea Monsters" as justice.

As long as you acted in accordance with their beliefs, your actions would be seen as praiseworthy, a victory worth celebrating.

...Regardless of whether it required the sacrifice of others.

Because in the eyes of most, sacrificing for a justice supported by the majority is seen as a very honorable and rightful thing to do.

For example, it would be a glorious sacrifice for Soul Hunt to occur for the sake of the "righteousness" of humans in Pulaya to live peacefully and securely.

For example, for the sake of conserving resources and combating storms, half of the population of Pulaya, including Su Rin herself, can be sacrificed to board the airship amidst the clouds.

For example, even divine beings can be sacrificed to defeat this imminent and seemingly dangerous King of Sea Monsters.

This all seems very reasonable and quite honorable.

Now, all Su Ming’an had to do was to bring a life full of divinity to the Sea Monster for her to devour, and she would become stronger.

She could, defeat that very evil-looking Blood Sea Demon, repel the King of Sea Monsters, and save the people within the Barrier.

—In that case, he would become a "hero" once again.

A "hero" who dares to use others’ lives as a balance, saving the many by sacrificing the few.

At this moment,

Su Ming’an suddenly remembered something Aelas had once said.

...

[Su Rin.]

[The battles of Pulaya are never fights of black and white.]

...

...

People on the city walls gazed into the distance.

They leaned on the walls or clutched their weapons, watching that intensely tense battle.

The bright red colors gradually overpowered the blue, burning fiercely in the sky like a rampant flame.

Where they looked, there was a blood-red hue.

That massive body, as if sculpted from molten lava, with its ripped skirt trailing behind, laughed wildly above the sea.

"Su Rin—"

"Su Rin—"

"Su Rin—hahaha—"

The shattered Dong Xue pendant hung on her scaly neck, the heart-like vibrant red color gradually fading.

She screeched wildly, roaring, as if venting all her rage and resentment in almost a wail of desolation.

The sound was sharp and familiar,

Reminding people of the beautiful girl in royal attire at the Royal City’s annual celebration banquet, her voice soft and delicate as she presented awards.

The deep blue Sea Monster seemed to have lost the strength to resist; the energy around her was being compressed smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller... gradually melting away like fire over ice.

Noel quickly opened the team chat channel, watching this clearly disadvantageous scene unfold.

[Noel: Su Ming’an, do you need help?]

Lin Yin also sent a message.

[Lin Yin: Su Ming’an, the King of Sea Monsters has a combat power of at least 3500, you won’t be able to handle it. Look for other methods to pass, don’t just brute force it.]

...

The wait for a reply seemed somewhat long.

Noel paced atop the city wall, even the other players waiting to witness the outcome grew restless.

"...Should we retreat for now?" A team of players began to discuss privately, "This situation looks bad, staying here might be the end of us."

"But that’s Su Ming’an we’re talking about. He must be confident to have gone there."

"I saw top-ranked players like Eli and his team have already fled north in small boats. Should we get out of here too...?"

"Is it possible to go north now?"

"Yes, for some reason the sea monsters aren’t attacking the direction of the Royal City. We should still be able to leave... I’ve seen many players talking about running away in the chat channels."

Noel listened to these players’ conversations and watched as they silently packed up their items and hurriedly left the city wall.

Only a few brave players and the Soul Hunters responsible for defense remained, still waiting here.

His mood was somewhat irritable; it was rare for the situation to be out of his control, and this instance that included Su Ming’an had completely deviated from his expectations. He had no idea how things would unfold next.

"Ding dong!"

A particularly crisp sound from the system’s reply broke into his thoughts.

He anxiously clicked to open the group chat.

[Su Ming’an: No support needed.]

[Su Ming’an: No need to worry.]

...

Noel’s heart steadied slightly as he raised his eyes toward the sky, now almost completely covered by a red hue from the counterattack.

"Whooosh—"

Suddenly, he heard an extremely loud sound.

It wasn’t just him,

At this moment,

Everyone heard a sound, as if it was right by their ear, like glass shattering.

"Whooosh—"

Their gazes froze in shock.

Through the distant snow and wind, they saw,

The barrier symbolizing Pulaya’s sixty years of stability, the one that had upheld its long-lasting prosperity, ripped apart by the endless sea monsters under their watchful eyes, thunderously shattered.

The sound in their ears, resonating in their hearts, like a toll from history’s bell.

The vivid red color, in the moment the barrier shattered, completely overshadowed the blue light, enveloped it, set it aflame.

The flame’s color was intensely bright red, searing into everyone’s pupils.

Noel stared in shock at the outermost shattered layer of the barrier, looking at the small boat being gradually engulfed by the crimson color.

...Didn’t they just say it was no problem?

He was slightly stunned.

In everyone’s eyes, the blue light symbolizing salvation suddenly burst,

Within that fierce, piercing bright red,

...that steadfast little boat disappeared.

...

Pulaya’s world-saving hero, the only being who descended from Yun Shang City, the child blessed by the deity,

Today, sixty years later, unexpectedly faced a sea monster siege crisis during the Maritime Banquet, just like the once-planned airship project. He confronted the natural disaster that could easily destroy them with the meager strength of a human.

But regrettably, this struggle against disaster, against destiny, seems not to have succeeded.

—"The Hero" has died under the eager and expectant eyes of everyone.
