Alien Knights

When he saw Karin appearing in the soul space, Todd could hardly believe his eyes.

But the other party didn't have much time to reminisce about the past. After a brief exchange with Rachel, he left the soul space.

"Why did she appear in the capital of the Abbasid Empire?"

Faced with Todd's question, Rachel said: "It's not important. The key is her safe return."

Todd nodded: "You...are right, have you arranged the route back?"

"People from the Alien Association will go to assist her, and I will personally go to the border to pick her up."

Todd recalled the meeting with Karin just now and asked with some confusion: "She seemed to be avoiding me just now?"

Rachel smiled and comforted: "Maybe it's just because of the rush."

Todd pondered for a while and said, "I should go south."

Rachel did not support this idea: "Twilight City needs you. You should know that the racial problem in the city is becoming more and more serious."

Todd said: "The barriers between races are not worth mentioning at all compared to the undead army we face."

Rachel tilted her head and thought for a while, and quickly guessed Todd's destination: "If you want to explore the secrets of the undead, do you want to go to the Presbyterian Church?"

"Yes, the undead originated from the undead successors studied by Theodore, and the important carrier of the undead parasites-resurrection bugs, is also a specialty of the Presbyterian Church." Todd was a little helpless: "If you want to find The key to dealing with the undead plague lies in negotiating with the Council of Elders.”

Rachel bit her lip, looking a little hesitant: "You should know how dangerous the Presbyterian Church is, Eliade, Eleanor... and Sutherland sleeping underground."

Todd gently held Rachel's waist: "I will also have my helper there, the grand leader of the Dispute Legion, remember?"

Rachel was stunned: "That Gutero woman who has lived for thousands of years? The daughter of the sage Sutherland? Meredith?"

Todd nodded and said: "With her help, I may be able to communicate with Sutherland. With the help of the sage, we will be more confident in dealing with the undead."

"Todd, you don't understand." Rachel looked worried: "That man is no longer the sage who saved alien species in the Tyro era. He has absorbed too many tyrants and has now turned into a monster. !”

"At least he hasn't lost his mind yet." Todd pointed to himself: "In a sense, I am also a monster."

Rachel realized that her dissuasion was useless, so she said, "I want to go with you."

Todd shook his head: "Eliad is still angry that you took his notes, and Eleanor hates you even more."

"And, if I remember correctly, you also need to unlock the obelisk's code and find a way for us to go home..."

Rachel was stunned, turned to look at Todd, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, you are willing to return to your hometown with me?!"

Todd nodded: "Earth, if you still remember the name."

"Of course, of course I remember!" Rachel hugged Todd tightly: "I thought you couldn't let go of everything here."

Todd put Rachel's head on his chest and whispered: "I always thought I couldn't let go, but I finally figured out that everything has an end, and I can't protect everything here forever. "

"If a sustainable path is not found to avoid the annihilation of the race, any empire or civilization will eventually perish if it is only sustained by a monarch."

Todd gently kissed Rachel on the forehead: "When everything settles down, I will eventually return to my own path and have no intersection with this place."

Rachel raised her head: "What will happen to Muxi City after you leave?"

"I have built the Kingdom of Heaven together with Leviathan and Scathach, relying on the power of the Balance of Destiny to constrain and adjust the power of this world."

"Use the scales of fate to constrain and adjust power?"

Todd said to Rachel: "Do you still remember how the scale of fate operates? It can only judge people's souls after their death and determine whether they are guilty or not."

"Now, Leviathan and Scathach have modified the scale of fate so that it can begin to weigh whether a person is guilty before the creature dies."

"When this creature's words and deeds tend toward destruction, then its fate will tilt toward guilt; if this creature's words and actions tend toward lawfulness, then its fate will tilt toward innocence."

"When the sin of a creature reaches a certain level, the balance of fate will forcefully initiate judgment and detain the soul of the sinner."

Rachel nodded and said: "Intervention in advance is at least better than remediation afterwards, but this will cause many new problems."

Todd nodded and said: "Yes, there are several difficult problems to solve when conducting soul trials before the living beings die."

"How to monitor the words and deeds of all living beings? How to judge whether the words and deeds of living beings are sinful? When should we forcibly terminate the life of a living being to reduce its harm to the world?"

"It is impossible for us to implant a monitor in every person's brain to observe his daily words and deeds. Leviathan and Scathach intend to leave this work to the angels and demons in heaven for them to observe and record everyone’s daily life.”

"The workload of this job is very huge, and it tests the ability of judgment. Scathach's suggestion is to soul-link all angels and demons to create a network of consciousness similar to a hive. When judging whether a person is guilty or not, It is carried out jointly by all angels and demons in the consciousness network, so as to make the most reasonable judgment."

"However, Leviathan believes that the principle of majority decision should not be adopted to judge whether a person is guilty or not. If during the trial voting process, the evaluation result of 100 people is 51 to 49, can it be judged just because there are two more people? Is the defendant guilty? Therefore, Leviathan hopes to use deduction, that is, to deduce all the consequences that a person's words and deeds may have, and judge the possible results one by one to determine whether the person is guilty."

Rachel questioned: "Leviathan's method is difficult to implement. Just like what is written in the book in your hometown, when a butterfly flaps its wings, it will set off a storm on the other side of the ocean."

Todd said: "You are right, one thing may have too many impacts, and it is difficult for us to do everything in detail. However, you have to admit that if you can deduce every outcome of one thing, , then Leviathan’s method is indeed more reasonable than Scathach’s method.”

Todd paused for a while and continued to talk to Rachel: "How to monitor words and deeds? How to judge guilt? These two problems are not the most difficult problems. The most troublesome is..."

Rachel said: "How to end the life of a sinner and bring his soul to the balance of fate?"

Todd nodded: "Suppose we really find a person guilty and believe that if his words and deeds continue, they will endanger the balance of the entire world and even cause species extinction. Then in order to stop him, we will have to terminate his life."

"But that would mean that we would have to deprive this person of his right to life. But the key issue is that he has not committed a crime that is serious enough to cause death. The reason why he was deprived of his life is simply because we think he may be harmful. ."

"Can you imagine what chaos the whole world would be like if living people knew that their lives could be taken away at any time simply because they were predicted to be harmful?"

Rachel whispered: "Question, resist, kill gods."
