"This……"

That cannot be refuted.

The public security situation has improved.

On one hand, Ying specifically targets human traffickers for killing, and even "visited" the entertainment district a few times, scaring those who used force half to death.

Indeed, in this world, Ying had no intention of disrupting the established legal system of Ling Shu's hometown.

She had no intention of becoming an 'Orario police officer'.

Therefore, she doesn't bother with anything that's 'voluntary'.

But if she were 'forced'... sorry, she's got plenty of free time until she finds an opportunity to 'kill a god'.

If you want to consider it a case of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), then it's not bad to just make a cameo appearance as a 'villain that even villains are afraid of'.

In chaotic times, it's best to fight evil with evil.

At this moment...

"In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary..."

The goddess Astraea pondered the essence of those words repeatedly, and after a long while... she could only sigh helplessly.

Because even she couldn't deny Ying's point of view.

This is, after all, the experience summarized by countless sages from Ling Shu's hometown through bloody lessons.

Moreover, precisely because of this knowledge, Ying thought further ahead than they did...

"It is important to remind you that the premise of 'using harsh measures in chaotic times' is that the people or forces that adopt this approach have already formed a certain scale of 'power'."

"If you can't do that, you'll only suffer the consequences."

Ying said succinctly, "And it's quite obvious that I personally feel I've already met this condition."

"so……"

She stated frankly, "Although I don't think you will imitate this, it's still best to be cautious and not act impulsively."

"besides……"

Ying looked at Liu and said, "You need to be careful with this useless elf."

“I have never said that I am ‘just’.”

"And your current 'justice' is too superficial."

"you……"

Chapter 357 Adi: I Was the One Who Started the Fog

Liu clenched her fists tightly, barely able to control her facial expressions.

She was called the 'useless elf'.

And what's most hurtful is...

"Mmmmm~"

Kaguya, Lyra... you actually nodded unconsciously?

Which side are you guys on, anyway?

and also……

Alexandra, Lady Astraea, why are you just standing by and watching?

Was that helpless, bitter smile genuine?

Actually, among everyone present, only Ryu hasn't realized that Ying is actually very easy to talk to.

Although she is powerful, she is not the kind of person who would bully the weak... well, at least to the innocent, that's true.

But if you encounter a villain... then it will be like what was mentioned before—fighting evil with evil.

This approach, at least in the eyes of Kaguya and the others, was harmless.

Just now, Ying was patiently explaining her philosophy of doing things to everyone.

Furthermore, at the end of the discussion, a special reminder was given regarding the drawbacks of doing so.

In conclusion, Ying was fully aware of the consequences of her actions.

In fact, she saw a future that was even further ahead than everyone else present.

on the other hand……

Mia's mother is a veteran Level 6. She trusts Ying and provides her with accommodation.

Although Adi is only Lv.3, her character is evident to everyone, including Alisha.

Both of them trusted Ying.

So……

"Let this lady who claims to be 'a villain even villains are afraid of' teach our little sister (Ryu) a good lesson."

That's what Lyra thought.

besides……

"Well, but after that, I want to have another good fight with her."

This is Kaguya.

“I believe in Ryu. She will be transformed by this and overcome this difficulty.”

Alexandra is still a very positive person.

At last……

"Huh? Is Ryu a useless elf?"

Ah Di, you really...

Even a little angel can be cunning, right?

The others in the room, including Astraea, the 'goddess of justice,' all had their own ideas.

But they all tacitly agreed not to interrupt.

It was under these circumstances that...

"You say my concept of 'justice' is superficial?"

Ryu frowned and looked at Ying, "You yourself said that you are not on the side of 'justice,' so how could you possibly understand what true 'justice' is?"

Hearing her rebuttal like that...

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Ying replied calmly, "Miss Useless Elf, since you firmly believe that the so-called 'justice' you uphold is not superficial, then why not answer a few questions for me?"

Liu did not respond, but her serious attitude clearly indicated that she had accepted the 'provocation'.

and also……

"Don't call me a useless elf. Giving someone an insulting nickname is very rude."

Ryū lodged his protest.

Regarding this...

"If you can answer my next questions well, I will apologize."

"Or... never mind, let's talk about 'business' first."

Ying grinned mischievously, "First, the first question..."

"Imagine a friend who is seriously injured is attacked by a group of innocent citizens who are complete strangers at the same time by the 'dark faction'."

"But you're stretched thin and can only save one side... Whom do you want to save?"

"!"

Liu was stunned.

[The Cunning Rat] Lyra sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "Ah, that's a really malicious question."

Kaguya sighed helplessly, "This is somewhat cruel for Ryu right now."

Alexie, Adi, and the others began to put themselves in the position of 'the parties involved' and started to think with furrowed brows.

Ryu... her anger intensified.

In fact, the question that Ying is asking now is the very same soul-searching question that the evil god Erebus will later ask.

However, a similar situation actually occurred at that time, and the god Erebus made a direct promise to spare the side chosen by Ryu.

That kind of torment was far more cruel than this empty talk.

After all, now...

"You're being unreasonable."

Liu said angrily, "There is no absolutely correct answer to this kind of dilemma."

"Yes, you're right."

Ying nodded, without refuting.

But then...

"But reality is often this cruel."

Seeing that Ryu was standing there in a daze, she continued, "A person who can truly be called a person who upholds the concept of 'justice' is one who, after recognizing these cruelties, still does not waver in the beliefs he holds in his heart."

"When a weak country is invaded by foreign forces, some people are willing to be called lackeys by the world in order to obtain first-hand information, bowing and scraping to the enemy and forever bearing the stigma."

"When a weak country is developing and rising, some people will choose to hide their identities in order to protect important secrets. They may have made equally great contributions, but their existence will not be known until after their death."

"So-called 'justice' means that, from different standpoints, even knowing that the road ahead is difficult, one will still sacrifice and make sacrifices for the future happiness and the smiles on the faces of one's compatriots."

Ying hasn't yet mentioned the overly realistic viewpoint of "his hero is my enemy".
