Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Ciel felt very uncomfortable, he quickly finished his lunch, stood up and said goodbye: "Um..., thank you for the treat, I'm full. I still need to look for someone, so I won't bother you anymore."

Alix bit into the sausage: "Eh? Are you leaving? Wait, I'll finish this and join you."

Kaguya and Leila didn't say anything. Liu was still angry because Belle kept looking at Miss Liang as if she was the girl next door.

"Please wait..." At this time, Astraea stood up and interrupted Ciel: "Can you talk to me alone?"

"Eh?" Charles' heart skipped a beat and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Belle, who was scratching her face, lowering her head and saying nothing.

Still exposed.

It was my fault to expect this rabbit to keep things to myself. I wonder how many things Bell has said, even though I have told him to.

Knowing that some things cannot be avoided, he stood up and said respectfully: "It's all up to you, Your Excellency."

……

The man and the god came to Astraea's room, and when they closed the door, Charles had prepared himself mentally. Bell didn't know much, and Charles didn't tell him much real information.

To Ciel's surprise, Astraea's first move was to reach out and touch Ciel's cheek:

"I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time, but I couldn't find you."

"Are you okay? I heard that Leila did something extreme to you, and Kaguya also said a lot of nasty things."

It was also the first time that Charles faced this goddess directly. He had to admit that if he had to choose a family member, this goddess with long walnut-colored hair and a gentleness that was enough to tolerate everything would definitely be the first choice for mother.

But... there are no ifs.

"Lady Astraea would still care about these? I thought you would care more about other information. For example, like Kaguya, you care about the ignition device." Charles' face calmed down instantly, and he looked directly at the goddess of justice.

"I think you are resentful."

Astraea sat down, revealing a heart that could accommodate everything:

"I think you may have some selfish motives in not wanting to tell me some relevant information."

There was something else behind Astraea's words. As a god, she could naturally sense whether Ciel was hiding something, but the gentle girl did not intend to expose it.

You guessed it.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Charles took two steps and sat down casually on the edge of the bed.

"Please listen to me, Ciel-kun."

Astraea moved lightly and sat next to Ciel like a girl next door. She swung her feet lightly and looked up as if she was looking at the stars in the sky:

"Lila and Kaguya are both practical people. They focus more on the present. As smart as you are, you are also very clear about the situation at that time. A dark faction was hurting an 'innocent adventurer', so Leila attacked you without thinking."

"Kaguya is just used to speaking sweet words. She just has a dirty mouth. In the words of the gods, she has a [poisonous tongue], but her heart is not bad."

"So, I know why, but does it have something to do with me having to survive Justice?"

Ciel simply fell on the bed, breathing in the unfamiliar aroma. It was useless to hide one's emotions in front of the gods, especially when Astraea attacked him directly in a heart-to-heart manner, and Ciel had no way to escape.

Astraea's walnut-colored hair swayed with her cheeks:

"No, so I won't be angry with you for that. Even if you asked Belle to conceal the information that Alisha and the others would all die in two years."

"I have never done such a thing." Charles looked at the goddess' back and spoke frankly.

This is true.

The goddess turned around, slightly surprised.

But this also indirectly acknowledged that he and Belle were familiar with each other.

"Then just consider it my misunderstanding." She changed the subject and said earnestly, "I just want to tell you that if you really can't forgive Leila, please don't take your anger out on others and turn into evil."

"This is our responsibility. So..." Astralia turned around and held Ciel's hand: "I can use the name of Astralia to forgive all the malice you have inflicted on me or my family."

Hearing this, Ciel started to work again, staring at the goddess with complicated eyes...

"Anything can be done?"

"You can watch me die without helping me, or even use swords against me, but I will not let my child be killed. But on the other hand, we will not take the initiative to kill you. Until you vent all the evil in your heart. This is my sincerity."

Charles was silent.

The person in front of me is a real goddess. What goodwill she showed by promising to take revenge on her "family" at will.

Don't underestimate this promise.

When Bell was killed by the monsters of the Takemurai clan, Hestia once made a bold statement: "If Bell dies, even if she returns to heaven, she will curse those people for the rest of their lives."

In this situation, unless you kill the gods on the spot, causing them to enter a ten-thousand-year resurrection period and become gods during this time, there will basically be no way to turn the situation around.

Is there no child in Astraea's family that she cares about? Obviously, it is impossible.

"Why do you have to go to this extent?" Charles stared at the Goddess of Mercy with a complicated look.

Astraea sighed: "This is how the times are. We are too weak to save everyone."

"Justice and evil are like a balance. When one side outnumbers the other, the speed at which they grow will accelerate infinitely. Now, the star of justice cannot be seen in the sky of the city."

Ciel said calmly, "This is not a reason for me to forgive Leila."

"But this is the reality..." Astraea lowered her head: "Even gods cannot escape such problems. Just like this attack, there are only four of us active in the city, while there are thousands or tens of thousands of victims. We can only save the largest number and the easiest to save group."

"Give up on those who will take more time and have a slimmer chance of survival."

Ciel agreed: "It is not worthwhile to spend the time to save a hundred people just to save one person. But the value of life is different for each person. Those who have been abandoned cannot speak. That is why those who survived will praise justice to their heart's content."

"I don't blame those who resent justice because they were not saved. I believe that justice delayed is justice denied."

Astraea raised her head and looked at Ciel with a look of astonishment:

"Because of the injustice and swaying of the scales of justice, evil is born. Such stories have been happening all the time in this era, and I don't want you to become one of them."

"There are many people like this, why would you tell me?"

"Because you are special." Astraea.

Charles' eyes flickered.

He can find Belle in the first place and stop him from acting in this world under his real name. He can even quickly analyze the current situation and give suggestions that are enough to make Belle change his mind.

It concerns the "Vortex of Chaos" and the "Laws" of this world, but as a mortal, Ciel perfectly handled a problem that should only be handled by gods (us).

These are enough to show that Charles is extraordinary.

But right now...

"Don't be nervous." Astraea said softly, "It's only because Leila pushed you to the other side that I hope you can turn back. I don't want a child who has always been upholding justice to cause a "great evil" to happen because of a mistake."

Charles turned his head and looked at the goddess: "I am just an ordinary adventurer. Even if I do something bad, you can easily suppress it. If you still have doubts, you can choose to eliminate me here."

Astraea smiled compassionately, closed one eye, and teased, "Are you challenging me, the goddess of justice? You are so brave~~"

Astraea pretended to lift her wrist: "Don't underestimate me, maybe I can even knock Belle away."

Astraea teased Ciel in a joking manner. The goddess of justice would not punish a child who had not yet made a mistake.

"Tsk." Charles smiled in relief. He knew there was no need to play dead any longer. Covering up the topic would not end the conversation. "Since the goddess wants to convince me so much, then answer me..."

"Goddess of Justice, what is "justice" in your opinion?"

Chapter 91 The so-called hero is just a clown who is fooled on the stage

"Are you questioning me, the God of Justice?" Astraea was a little surprised. She seemed to think for a long time before giving an answer:

"To me, justice is as numerous as the stars in the sky."

Astraea said calmly, "Children in the underworld are always searching for justice. But even the God of Justice cannot give an answer that the children in the underworld can understand. I am more looking forward to the process of the children moving forward in the confusion of searching for justice."

"That includes you, Ciel."

Astraea's eyes were sincere: "Can you tell me? What is justice to Ciel-kun?"

I'm not asking you to ask me back.

Ciel showed dissatisfaction on his face, but did not refuse to answer: "For me, justice is "living"."

"Alive?" Astraea was slightly surprised.

"Yes, unlike that noble elf (Liang), I am just an ordinary person, and my justice is also very selfish."

Charles said frankly: "I can't understand what you mean by "evil"? "

"I think that in this world, the greatest evil is God, right?"

"Like the audience watching the fight between warriors and monsters in the arena, they shower the gifts and cheer for the victory of one side."

"The evil god took the initiative to arrange the venue and the opponent. The good god also covered his eyes and kept adding more bets to the warriors. The opponent changed from a monster to a criminal. They won five games in a row, ten games in a row, and finally released a "despair" that no one could defeat. He made it the final boss and took away everyone's capital. "

Ciel had a complicated expression: "Tell me, God Astraea, in a world like this, what is justice?"

Astraea looked at the boy calmly: "Ciel, at such a young age, you have already learned to look at things from the perspective of God."

Oh, you also want to trick me into killing my loved ones? Charles complained in his heart.

Astraea continued, "I have no right to answer you this question. Even as the God of Justice, I am ridiculed by my fellow gods as a self-satisfied hypocrite."

She stood up and for the first time faced Charles as an equal:

"The gods come to the mortal world for 'entertainment', even me. Even preaching to you is part of 'entertainment'."

"Guiding people to be good and upholding justice are my interests."

"As omniscient and powerless people like us, it is impossible for us to treat the entire underworld equally from the beginning, but justice is not such a superficial thing." Astraea just lowered her eyebrows and smiled, which was the expression of someone who was accustomed to slander.

"According to your thinking, I can only tell you that justice is killing gods."

"The irony is that this is defined as a great evil for us!" Ciel shook his head:

"I have no doubt about you. There is no doubt that even among so many goddesses, you are flawless and well-deserved to be the first."

He turned the handle and opened the door. “So, I just want to ask you a question.”

Without looking back, Charles said calmly, "This is the story of my friend. He knows the despair of the future, but if he wants to break this despair, he must stain his hands with blood and use any means necessary..."

"Tell me, God Astraea, if that "friend" took the "unrighteous path" and personally destroyed the gods he disliked, would such a person be considered righteous? Or evil?"

Astraea suddenly said: "I cannot praise this kind of "immorality" as justice, but I also have no right to refute your "evil"."

Ciel smiled in relief and walked out: "That's right, it's all your choice, Kami. Let the adventurers and the dark factions be placed in the small Orario, like raising poisonous insects, devouring each other and giving birth to heroes."

"God Astraea, if you can't stop God's evil deeds at the root, then don't stop the Insect King from stepping on the corpses."

"Wait." Astraea chased after him, and after a moment of silence, she called out to Ciel, "The previous promise is still valid. No matter what your...friend wants to do, please keep the last bit of goodness in your heart."

Charles paused, did not argue, waved his hand, and went downstairs.

This heart-to-heart talk with the goddess was not a waste of time. At least I got a life-saving talisman from Astraea. Even if the plan fails later, I can still save my life like Witt.

at this time,

The dishes on the table had been cleared away by Liu, and Alisha and Liu were washing them skillfully.

There was some chaotic noise coming from the living room on the other side. Belle seemed to be arguing with Kaguya and Leila.

"Kaguya-san, if you could go back in time and save someone who would otherwise die, but it would cause an irreversible situation in the future, what would you do?"

"Ha——" Kaguya sighed heavily.

"Ms. Kaguya?"

"You big idiot!" Kaguya yelled, "I hate this kind of stupid talk. No matter the ideals that I have abandoned or the choices I have made, none of them can be brought back!"

She hated Belle's eyes, which were as clean as Liu's, and could easily reflect her own ugliness and show her the illusion of her ideal justice.

Leila smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, yes, Belle, it's just like what I did to Brother Ciel. If I were to choose again under the same circumstances, I would do the same thing. Even if I knew I was wrong afterwards, I would just swallow the bitter fruit silently and not worry about something that could never happen."

Belle opened her mouth and said, "Ms. Leila, have you ever done anything too harsh to Mr. Charles?"

Leila groaned, "I had a fierce fight with that guy and nearly hacked him to death. Of course, I was also badly injured. Although friction is very common among adventurers, it is a fact that we have a bad relationship. I was also prepared for his revenge and the outcome of both of us taking our lives."

"How could that be? If there is any misunderstanding, Mr. Ciel will understand you."

Kaguya interrupted impatiently: "You don't seem to know that guy very well, let's not talk about him, what about the follow-up of the topic?"

"But, you don't hate..."
