Great, we're doomed now!

When so many thoughts of targeting him came rushing in all at once, Ye Shou was initially startled, but after he came to his senses, he didn't care and naturally handed them over to the supercomputing spirit to handle, which resulted in [Kuji Union] getting quite a few orders.

...From the public's perspective, it was clear that shortly after the prayers, a mysterious force drove the [Kuse Union] to respond to them.

Two thousand years ago, the son of a carpenter who wanted to persuade his people laid the foundation for a sect by performing a few miracles. Even the fact that his messages were read but not replied to for two thousand years did not diminish his divinity. So what if he could "answer every request"?

It spreads even faster than a virus!

Things took an unexpected turn... to the point that the Kuse Alliance was facing a shortage of manpower.

He had also considered that such a massive workload could potentially lead to wrongful convictions, and since a living spirit is not a real person and could not be entirely trusted, he had taken the time to personally review the cases.

Then he was speechless.

To be honest, we definitely underestimated Night City's crime rate...

Basically, every case was valid. A few who tried to take advantage of the situation were exposed by the AI's intelligence capabilities.

The conviction rate, if not 100%, is at least 99.99%!

Interestingly, the plaintiff in one case might be the defendant in another... At this rate, Night City's prisons won't be enough!

When Ye Shou heard that American prisons were overflowing, he didn't think much of it, but when he actually experienced it himself...

There was no other way but to further subdivide the criminals, selecting those who committed crimes due to the pressures of life, those who did not intentionally harm others, those who surrendered themselves or showed remorse, etc., to appropriately reduce their sentences, or simply put them in electronic shackles so that they could move freely in the outside world.

This is the true meaning of "the law does not punish the masses".

Of course, with reduced sentences comes heavier sentences, which corresponds to a significant increase in the crackdown on and punishment of serious crimes!

With all this commotion, the entire Night City was like a tavern that had been blown open in summer... like a boiling pot of soup.

To be honest, things haven't gotten better in the short term; in fact, they might be even more chaotic... Of course, the situation is changing at a visible pace.

First, [Kuse Union] gained immense prestige as a result, becoming the people's capitalists and sparking social frenzy. They seized the market like barbarians. However, Ye Shou has never been particularly concerned about business matters, until the maid had a good time killing people... Night City will probably become a one-man show after this.

Secondly, various mercenary organizations sought to become legitimate, and many simply converted to religion. This led to the emergence of the Knights of the Faith in this rapidly growing "quasi-religious organization" whose doctrines were still incomplete, even before the existence of a high priest.

All of this leads to more and more wishes being concentrated on the statue, which in turn affects the statue itself.

Of course, this is not on the same level as the curses of the super-ancient billions. Ye Shou could control even a tyrant, so naturally he would not change himself because of this.

Fortunately, this is a giant in the form of "Dark Radiance". As a darling of darkness, it can naturally absorb and dissolve everything. Even so many negative emotions can be absorbed without any overflow. There is no need to worry about raising any monsters.

"If this were in the world, even if you descended from afar, the resentment within the statue would be enough to keep you moving for a long time."

Carmilla walked over and stood beside Ye Shou. She looked up at the majestic giant's figure, her eyes filled with admiration.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at Ye Shou's carving skills, this stone statue is definitely a rare treasure!

There is probably no one else in this world who could imbue a stone with such charm.

If Ye Shou weren't here, Carmilla might have moved it away to play with privately.

"How about it, were you scared by the dark side of humanity?" Ye Shou turned his head and asked, half-teasingly.

Carmilla raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "You think you can scare me with this? But... I've definitely changed my opinion of humans."

"In a negative sense?"

"No, it's just that I feel like I might understand the human condition better now."

Carmilla's tone and demeanor were completely different from before, possessing an indescribable peace, like a cultivator in a state of enlightenment.

Ye Shou found it amusing, while the Dark Queen smiled slightly.

During her time living in Night City, she felt as if she had entered a sewer full of rats, filled with rotting flesh and souls, where beautiful things were rarer than anything else.

She initially intended to come and clean up the mess once and for all, because she felt that she "could never love such humans." Rather than watching these walking corpses continue to sink in hell, she thought it would be better to help them find liberation, which would also be considered doing a good deed.

Ye Shou told her to be patient, and although Carmilla was unhappy, she accepted it. So she tried to get in touch with these "fallen" people she looked down on in order to understand their way of life.

Gradually, Carmilla's views began to change.

Ink splatters on white paper are very noticeable, and vice versa.

While Carmilla witnessed the depravity, corruption, and darkness of humanity, she also saw many people striving to make their lives a little bit better.

Even in the filthy Night City, some people still retained the glimmer of humanity, and this touched Carmilla.

She might not admit it, but it was an emotion called "being moved." And through this, Carmilla truly understood humanity.

In the past, after meeting Ye Shou, she had overly high expectations of humanity, and the believers of the ancient times seemed to be developing in the direction she wanted. Therefore, she felt that she could love humanity and become a ruler (guardian) like Ye Shou.

After arriving in Night City, she seemed to develop Paris Syndrome, and her expectations of humans turned into disgust... and now, she has become completely at peace.

She understood that human nature is complex, and that humans are not creatures that can be simply divided into good and evil. She also understood the true meaning of Ye Shou's words at that time.

Yes, anyone can love beautiful things and try to protect them, but to persist in guiding the good from hell is an incredibly difficult thing.

When Karumila was browsing modern information, she had seen records about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and now she realized that it was not surprising that he held such a high position.

...She no longer makes hasty judgments about humanity based on what she sees as evil or good.

"Bayeli, is this your conspiracy?"

"Ok?"

"Are you so sure I won't abandon humanity and want to completely bind me to this backward and short-lived race?"

Carmilla smiled with relief: "You're really cunning~"

"..."

Ye Shou didn't know why she said that, but after thinking about it, he gave a helpless smile.

“I’m not that despicable. Actually, there’s no particular reason. I just feel that if I don’t let you see the dark side of this race, you might become disappointed in humanity when you see the whole picture in the future.”

"Just like I said..."

"I don't want that."

Ye Shou withdrew his gaze, his lips still curved in a smile, but he looked somewhat forlorn.

"After all, we may have to go down different paths, and I... don't want to be separated from you."

"..."

"Because I've already gotten used to having you by my side."

Ye Shou looked at her, smiling with some trouble in his eyes: "There are some things that I can only tell you, a fellow giant. You are probably the only one who can understand me in certain situations, Carmilla."

"!"

The Dark Queen was stunned, staring at Ye Shou in silence for a long time—

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

— Ye Shou's heart skipped a beat.

What, did I say something wrong?

Did you do something to upset her?

"Carmilla, I actually—uh!"

Before he could even open his mouth to explain, the Dark Queen had already drawn her long whip and bound his hands, then kicked him to the ground with a swift motion before pouncing on him!

"Shut up!"

The queen breathed heavily, pinching Ye Shou's chin hard and forcing him to look at her.

"Try to resist!"

"what?"

quack!

Liuli, save me!

Volume 11: To the Day of Destiny: Chapter 478: You've got some nerve, haven't you! (4K)

TPC Headquarters, Victory Team Command Room.

When the alarm sounded, Megumi's brows furrowed, as if she had been waiting for it.

"Ye Rui".

“Here it comes.” Ye Rui’s fingers were already flying across the keyboard. The main screen switched from the TPC logo in standby mode to a holographic projection, and a three-dimensional topographic map marked with longitude, latitude and longitude and contour lines unfolded in the air.

"It's the same large magnetic field fluctuation as before, located in a suburban park in the D4 area." Ye Rui pulled up the data, and several waveforms scrolled along the edge of the screen. "The amplitude and frequency are highly consistent with the previous two."

"It's this one—codename 'Irene'!"

"This isn't the first time this guy has appeared. We've never been able to stop him in time. This time we have to catch him!"

Zongfang had already stood up, zipped up his combat uniform to the collar, and put on his helmet.

"Lina, come with me to Flying Swallow II. Daigo, Masaki, Sherlock, ... Let's go!"

"Yes!"

-

The park in the suburbs was just an ordinary place, like any sunny weekend afternoon in any city.

But unbeknownst to people, malice from another dimension has invaded this area, and the sky in reality has also begun to distort.

The space in that area was torn apart by an invisible hand, and a dark hue, somewhere between purple and black, that could not be accurately described in words, slowly "permeated" out.

The first to scream was a little boy. He looked up and saw the distorted sky and the thick arm protruding from the crack.

Covered in armor, with long, sharp fingers that gleamed with a metallic sheen, it possessed a certain elegance compared to those hideous monsters, yet instilled just as much fear. It gripped the edge of the crack, as if lifting a veil, tearing open space while simultaneously extending its entire body from the other side.

【Otherworldly Demon God - Enermina】!

Its body has relatively distinct female characteristics, with a layer of armor covering its torso and limbs. The dark blue color scheme appears cold and dazzling in the sunlight. Its facial features are distinct and similar to those of a human, while the emitter-like energy organ on its forehead glows faintly like a third eye embedded in its forehead.

—The crowd immediately screamed and scattered in panic.

Unlike ordinary monsters that immediately wreak havoc, Enemy was unusually quiet, standing still and slowly moving its head, as if checking or searching for something.

Suddenly, Aynor's head stopped moving.

It looked toward the southeast corner of the park, where a van was speeding along the path. The demon's lips slowly curled up, as if it were very interested.

It was a satisfied yet cruel laugh, like someone who had found their prey.
