Hazard and others are good targets for surgery.

"Give me back my daughter!!!! Give me back my daughter!!!!"

"You damned scholars!!! My son is only fourteen years old!! His Demon Scale Disease is under control!!!"

"My father had just received treatment!! He was perfectly fine! And then he died in his hospital bed the very next day!!!! You all deserve to die!!!"

"Hazar, die!!! You are unworthy to be a Great Sage! You!!! You have tarnished the glory of the Great Tree King!!!"

"It's terrifying. I came to Sumeru City as a tourist, but I feel unwell every day and can't find any reason. It turns out I've been used as an experimental subject."

"No wonder I felt so unwell those past few days! Turns out your Order of the Crusade was using me as an experiment!!!"

"Don't even mention it. When I woke up, I thought I'd been drained dry by my wife in the middle of the night."

"Even so, wouldn't it be better to just kill the Great Sage? The other sages and scholars are innocent, aren't they?"

"Yes, wouldn't it be better to just kill the mastermind? If so many people are killed, wouldn't the Church of the Fathers lose half of its talent?"

"Heh heh heh, innocent? The entire Order of the Fathers is rotten to the core. All they know is knowledge and wisdom, but the things they do are utterly inhuman. I can only say they deserve to die!"

"That's what I think too. These sages and scholars deserve to die. Just from the moment they dared to experiment on us, they probably didn't even consider us human beings."

At the execution ground, the onlookers were whispering among themselves, some looking at Hazard and the others with sympathy.

Some people looked at him with hatred and hostility, but most of them were just gloating.

After all, everyone has witnessed what the Order of the Church has done over the years.

Anyone who is unwittingly used as a "test subject" will feel uncomfortable, especially since the chances of getting sick are indeed extremely high during those days.

Many people even died from this sudden illness.

This does not preclude the possibility that people suffering from serious illnesses may die naturally on that day.

But the blame naturally fell on the Academy, since they were the ones experimenting on the entire population of Sumeru City.

"quiet!"

At this moment, Sino appeared and shouted to silence the crowd.

When Seno is serious, he exudes an unimaginable air of authority.

Therefore, his words brought the chaotic scene to a halt, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"There is still half an hour until the execution."

Sino looked at Hazard and said in a cold tone, "In the meantime... Hazard, is there anything else you want to say?"

As a great sage of the Faith Council, Azar also had privileges before his death.

Of course, others also have that right, because the dead are respected, and no matter what crimes they committed, they still have the opportunity to speak before they died.

Su Hao stood aside, watching the show. He also saw Ella, Shen He, Jiuqi Ren, Shanhu Gong Xin Hai and others not far away.

Hazard stepped forward, looked at Seno, and at the eyes of the people below, each filled with different emotions. He sighed, closed his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"I am guilty."

Chapter 372 The Death of a Sage

"I'm guilty."

Hazard stepped forward, and his first words were a confession.

This surprised everyone present, as it was probably the first time the great sage Azhar had publicly confessed his sins.

This is quite a rare thing. You know, even if the scholars of the Order of the Church are wrong, they will insist on saying, "Is this really a mistake?!"

This is nothing more than a failed research, plan, or experiment!

How can this be called a mistake?!

This is why the scholars of the Order of the Church have such a tarnished reputation; most of them harbor inexplicable arrogance.

They are just like us, except they know a few things, but they won't admit their mistakes.

They also spouted a lot of nonsense that others couldn't understand in order to justify themselves.

And now... the Great Sage, no, the former Great Sage, has actually confessed his sins?

"Hazard! Are you admitting your guilt?!"

"Have you admitted that the god-making project is a massacre plan?"

"Did you force them, Great Sage? Did they force you to say that?"

"What kind of guilt do you mean?! Is it colluding with the Fools? Or imprisoning the Little Auspicious Grass King? Or using the people of Sumeru City as experimental subjects?"

At this point, the people below couldn't sit still any longer and immediately started asking questions. This was truly big news!

Former High Priest Azhar of the Canon has confessed! This is practically an admission that everything the Canon did was wrong.

Even if someone later tries to turn things around for Hazard, they can't, because he has already confessed.

Are you still going to explain for him? What else can you explain to him?

Therefore, from this moment on, Hazard was completely nailed to the pillar of shame in the annals of history, and no one can wash it away.

Even more shocking were those who knew Hazard's character; they knew very well how arrogant he was, and yet he confessed!

But the other sages, or the scholars who heard Su Hao speak, knew very well why Hazard would confess.

Everything is for a better tomorrow.

Ignoring the voices of the people below, Hazard spoke to himself: "I, Hazard, confess to all the following crimes."

"He conspired with the Fools to obtain the Heart of God of Inazuma, imprisoned the Little Lucky Grass King, and took it upon himself to carry out a plan to create a god, imprisoning the other two sages."

"Furthermore, they used void devices to harvest the spiritual energy of the people of Sumeru City in an attempt to persecute Su Hao and his group, and spent a great deal of manpower and resources from the Order of the Church in an attempt to create a god..."

Hazard slowly recounted all the major events that had recently occurred, admitting that he was responsible for them all.

Hazard had his own agenda here; he took all the crimes upon himself, thus mitigating the guilt of those behind him.

For example, the God-Making Project collaborated with the Fools to create a God of Righteousness by combining the wisdom of six major schools of thought.

These matters are not solely decided by Hazard alone.

And they wanted to hide such a large-scale god-making plan. Did they really think that Hazard was all-powerful and could control the entire Council of the Church by himself?

Even when Kujo Takayuki, the Kansei Magistrate, and the Mujinshu cooperated, they couldn't do this, let alone Azhar, who could only represent his own faction.

Without the help of other sages and scholars, Hazard would certainly not have succeeded, and they might even have joined forces to remove him from the position of Great Sage.

Those unaware of the situation thought, "Hazard is truly despicable! He deserves to die!"

The crowd was outraged, and many people shouted for Hazard to be killed.

Faced with this situation, Hazard was not surprised at all. He closed his eyes and said seriously:

"I have failed the Great Compassion Tree King, I have failed the Little Auspicious Grass King, and I have failed the scholars of the Order Academy even more."

"You have been implicated because of me. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have ended up like this. But it's all too late to say all this now."

"It was only on my deathbed that I realized that the reason why the Church has made no progress in wisdom for five hundred years is not because of the gods, but because of ourselves."

"We are too arrogant and too reliant on everything left over from the past."

"Gentlemen, remember not to become a sinner like me."

After saying that, Hazard kept his eyes closed and remained silent; he was ready to die.

Later, Seno asked the other sages to speak, and what they said was almost identical to what Hazard said.

The gist is that they are also sinners, their hands stained with blood, tarnishing the reputation of the Great Tree King and the Council of the Fathers.

If it weren't for Lord Little Lucky Grass and Lord Su Hao's timely intervention, the sins they committed would likely have been even greater.

As for the majority of the people behind them, they kept begging for mercy, saying that although they were guilty, their crimes did not warrant death!

They cried out for justice, even cursing Su Hao and the Little Auspicious Grass King, and even targeting Azar and the other sages.

But their mouths were quickly gagged; since they were being so foul-mouthed, someone should offer them a little help.

Some prisoners even forcibly broke free from the restraints of the group of thirty men and the disciplinary officers, intending to rush directly into the crowd.

Of course, when faced with this kind of person, Sino also showed no mercy and knocked him unconscious with a single blow.

Soon, everyone finished their last words, and the execution was about to begin.

The midday sun was scorching, and many onlookers were unaware of what kind of death penalty Hazard and others were facing.

Should the disciplinary officer and the group of thirty kill him, or should they take out poison and force-feed it to them?

There were too many possibilities, and the onlookers didn't know exactly how he died, but that didn't stop them from discussing it.

If they were to die one by one in a line, the fear in the hearts of these nearly one hundred people would surely erupt in an instant.

If they rebel and struggle together, and the disciplinary officer and the members of the group of thirty don't react quickly enough, things could get messy.

"Time is up."

At this moment, Seno spoke up, his expression unusually serious, and said earnestly, "Please welcome Lord Little Lucky Grass King!"

The other disciplinary officers and members of the thirty-person group also said in unison, "Please welcome Lord Little Lucky Grass King!!!"

As these words were spoken, a verdant figure appeared in mid-air. She looked like a child, but the aura emanating from her was extraordinary.

Yet it caused the vast majority of people present to tremble uncontrollably; this was the oppressive aura of a demon god, an aura that ordinary people simply could not withstand.

Only the strong can resist this aura, but there are only a few strong people present.

Therefore, when Nasita's phantom appeared, everyone felt only respect and awe. This was the imprisoned deity!

Little Lucky Grass King!!!

The other party's aura was so terrifying, she was so powerful! Could she really be imprisoned by the Order Institute?

In that instant, most people had one thought: God loves people and cannot bear to harm His people.

Therefore, she would rather be locked up than disturb the current peace of Sumeru.

If the Church hadn't insisted on pushing forward its god-making plan, Little Lucky Grass King probably wouldn't have appeared before the world to this day.

When faced with the powerful [Demon God], the people of Sumeru felt awe at first.
