Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 233 Countless casualties, heavy losses

Wang Dong'er's voice was unusually firm as she gripped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly.

Huo Yuhao's various negative emotions, such as confusion, shock, pain, and self-blame, have significantly diminished with Wang Dong'er's unwavering support.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. With the support of loved ones at this time, one's already firm gaze shines even brighter with unwavering determination.

Huo Yuhao himself also believes that he did nothing wrong.

Xiao Xiao's face was deathly pale, and she was unable to speak.

She felt terribly guilty.

At the time, I simply listened to Huo Yuhao and believed in his words, so I set up the high-explosive soul tool according to his instructions.

If she had known it would cause such a horrific explosion, resulting in countless casualties, she would never have done it, and would have even tried to stop it.

Although Wang Dong'er said that if those terrifying soul-guided devices were used in war in the future, they would cause ten times, or even a hundred times, more human casualties.

But should the innocent civilians involved in this massive explosion be sacrificed for it?
"Elder Xuan, I was wrong. I think that when we detonated this warehouse, we may have detonated the high-level soul tools stored in Mingde Hall. I should have been able to calculate that, after all, the place we detonated was very close to Mingde Hall, and returning to Mingde Hall was also part of my plan. I was too eager for quick success, which caused such a disaster, and there will definitely be a large number of civilian casualties."

Especially during the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament, the population of Mingdu was so dense.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's heart pounded wildly.

He was too impulsive.

Even if we thought the explosion was only in a small area at the time, during a major competition, even a small area is densely populated.

Moreover, even if there is only one person in that area, or even no one at all, can it still explode?
So many buildings were destroyed, how many people are now homeless?
But the thought that this would weaken the Sun Moon Empire's national strength, making it less powerful when it fought against the original three empires of Douluo Continent in the future.

He also felt that this was a great achievement for him.

Beibei then stepped forward and said:
"Elder Xuan, Yuhao and I jointly planned this, but I, as the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, was the one who ultimately decided to take action. I request that the academy expel me; I am no longer worthy to remain in the inner academy."

I've decided that the final outcome of this matter far exceeded our expectations, and it's true that it caused widespread suffering. None of us wanted to see this happen. Although they are enemies, the civilians are innocent. We take responsibility for this. On our Shrek Academy side, except for Yuhao, the entire Tang Clan will withdraw from the Inner Court.

In this way, our Tang Sect will take full responsibility for this matter, and it will absolutely not affect the academy's reputation. However, Yuhao cannot leave the academy. His great-grandfather instructed him before he passed away that he would be the next generation's Sea God Pavilion Master. This mistake was caused by my improper command, and he should not bear the main responsibility.

Moreover, you've seen the abilities he's demonstrated; he's the future hope of the academy. If he can truly grow into the best he can be, then Shrek Academy will forever remain the number one academy on the continent.

Elder Xuan shook his head and said:
"I've figured out the whole story. Now's not the time to assign blame. I trust you all. Rest now, we'll depart in fifteen minutes!"

Elder Xuan glanced at everyone but said nothing more.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Mingdu, and his expression gradually improved.

His gaze hardened, and he murmured to himself:
"I'm sorry, Mingdu, war is the cruelest thing. As an elite soldier, what I have to do is face the entire enemy force with my own strength in the war."

Although this will undoubtedly affect many people around the world, I have no regrets, because it will allow more people to avoid being affected by the war and give us more time to prepare.

He believed that doing so would be enough to delay the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent.

War will inevitably kill more people.

Not only did they feel they hadn't done anything wrong, but they also felt they had made a huge contribution.

"What do we do? The Sun Moon Empire has already publicly stated that Shrek Academy did it!"

After Elder Xuan walked to the side, Wang Dong'er took Huo Yuhao's hand, looked at Bei Bei and the others, and said.

"It's just speculation. There's no evidence to prove that we did it. Like I said, it's just their guess." Huo Yuhao completely relaxed, and the look of self-reproach disappeared.

Beibei said:

“As long as the academy doesn’t bring it up, then this matter has nothing to do with our Tang Sect. Just like Yuhao said, the Sun Moon Empire has no evidence, and the suspects are definitely not just us.”

Moreover, the Body Sect seems to be far more adept at underground operations than we are at suspecting; we just don't understand why they're so certain it was us.

Xu Sanshi said:
"Shifting the blame eastward seems a bit unethical, doesn't it?"

He paused briefly, then continued:
"But why do I feel like I kind of like it..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But when he accidentally saw Elder Xuan's still gloomy face not far away, he quickly covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud.

……

"Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Is it really Shrek Academy?"

In the imperial palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran roared to the sky, his angry voice echoing throughout the entire palace.

Although the media told him about the situation, some people revealed that it was Shrek Academy that did it.

However, there is no evidence of a major explosion.

All the evidence was destroyed. Based on just one sentence left behind, it's impossible to prove that Shrek Academy did it.

At this moment, a large number of people began to save lives, and data kept coming in.

The casualties were severe, and the economic losses were incalculable.

With many buildings in the palace collapsing, the resources needed to rebuild the palace would be enormous.

Those soul tools were all damaged to varying degrees in the previous violent tremors, not to mention the buildings.

In addition, large areas of buildings collapsed, centered around the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The number of civilian casualties continues to rise, with heavy losses.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall disappeared directly from Mingdu.

Also disappearing was the underground warehouse that stored a large amount of supplies.

Even the wealthy and powerful Sun Moon Empire would find this loss difficult to bear.

When it was confirmed that the explosion's epicenter was near the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

Mingde Hall is his foundation. This massive explosion could even set back the entire Sun Moon Empire's research on soul tools by several years.

Not to mention the horrific casualties at Mingdetang.

Those people over there are all elites among the Soul Masters.

The only reason Jing Hongchen wasn't driven to death by anger was that her grandchildren Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, as well as her disciple Ye Chen, were all safe and sound.
