The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

Therefore, as soon as the Smiling Lady infected more normal people, they had no choice but to side with her. In that instant, her approval rating in the Judgement Hall skyrocketed, surpassing An Su and reaching twenty percent.

The principle of the Righteous Faction was "to save the common people from dire straits," as for how the dire straits began, never mind!

Under the effect of the powerful laws, the recognition of the Disaster Judgement descended upon the Smiling Lady, a ghastly blue candle symbolizing catastrophe lit behind her, burning fiercely.

"This is the rule of the Seven Gods' Trial."

Mr. Demon explained from beside An Su's ear, which was also his job, "In the Judgement Court, please the Mother Goddess and reap her favor, symbolized by the lighting of the God-representing human oil candle. After the ritual ends, the person whose human oil candle burns more and brighter wins this Seven Gods' Trial."

So that's how it was...

An Su nodded. This was the 'Seven Gods' Trial' from thirty thousand years ago.

A few months earlier, when he had snuck into the base of the Esoteric Sect, An Su had also undergone what was called a God's Judgement. However, that time it involved only the three gods of 'Life,' 'Pain,' and 'Chaos,' and the ritual's steps were simple, doing nothing but standing still waiting for the candle to light, after which the High Priest would interpret the divine revelation through the candle's flame.

At that time, An Su had even burned down the entire Esoteric Sect base, and the divine revelation the High Priest interpreted was: 'Each base must be equipped with emergency measures for fire, carry out fire drills regularly every month, and forbid entry of the Chaotic Ladder.'

And this time, in Avad, both the scale of the ritual and the process far exceeded the previous minor ruckus.

After all, this time, there were citizens from a whole district watching the ceremony.

An Su's smile lingered on the corner of his mouth; he couldn't let his beloved citizens be disappointed.

"You actually didn't get sick." The Smiling Lady looked at An Su's healthy complexion with some surprise.

The youth was still spotlessly clean, without a single impurity from head to toe.

This might be the purifying effect of the 'Blessed Son'... Mr. Demon showed a thoughtful expression, quietly breathing a sigh of relief. The Blessed Son was too pure inside, blessed by the Holy Light, capable of purifying all contamination.

"Could it be that you like me?" The Smiling Lady also showed a thoughtful expression.

Not getting sick = Not discriminating against her = Liking her.

An Su watched the pustules on the Smiling Lady's face expressionlessly, feeling that the hurt inside his heart was no less severe than if he were sick.

The reason he hadn't been infected was simple: his heart of birth was too filthy, even the Disasters found it repulsive and dared not approach.

An Su had been cleansed by the River of Life twenty thousand times. This River of Life was equivalent to the Ganges River, whose waters are a cradle for various microorganisms with rod-shaped bacteria, whereas the water of the River of Life was full of souls made twisted by Disaster.

If mortals could swim three circles in the Ganges River without dying, they would naturally develop a Sacred Body immune to all poisons.

Whereas An Su had swum in the River of Life twenty thousand times. He had absorbed its essence, and during the recent sacrifice, that very essence of life became even richer. Compared to his body, ordinary germs were clean.

The Child of the Curse was indeed the darkest of the Dark Son, and there was no entity in Avad darker than An Su.

In summary, only now could An Su be considered the true version t0 of Avad.

"Ha, nowadays the men are all hypocritical, prostrating themselves under sister's skirt is just something that can't be helped, it's the sad truth."

The Smiling Lady seemed convinced that An Su liked her, her smile becoming more coquettish and ugly, "Well, little brother, you just kneel down and beg sister, after this trial is over, I'll spare your life."

In the Smiling Lady's view, An Su was destined to lose the Seven Gods' Trial.

Only the Mother Goddess of Plagues would favor her.

In the face of sexually transmitted diseases, it was impossible for An Su to light the candle of Disaster.

"Honorable judges."

Facing the insult, An Su didn't get angry; his complexion remained calm.

Only serenity was evident in his dark blue eyes.

"Have you heard of the Black Death?"

Black Death... everyone looked at each other, only a handful of Disaster Believers vaguely heard of this thing.

This thing was said to be a plague outside of the ordinary world, vastly lethal, indiscriminate, unbounded, infecting all living beings in an inhumane manner.

The Disaster Believers furrowed their brows. Could it be that this youth was about to bring forth this catastrophe from beyond reality?

An Su said with a smile,

"The disease that causes only dark species to die out, is called the Black Death."

The Disaster Believers' pupils trembled. What the hell was this Black Death!
