Chapter 2025 – [Good God, Bad God, and God Slayer]

It was decided to punish Aksha’s followers after going through several trials.

Many of them had already died during the rebellion of the Ziana slaves, but it did not mean that there were no others left. I thought about executing all of those who survived, but I held back because Rakesha advised me to do so. Among Aksha’s believers, there are probably innocent people who just sat by and watched.

Of course, the level of those who participated in the northern punitive force is known, so the number of people who will survive will be less than a handful. First, we have to follow the procedures for the future.

[From now on, the trial of Aksha’s believers will begin. Before I proceed, I would like to tell you in advance that I, Ashura, who is in charge of this trial, have the power to see through people’s lies. It is problematic for a sinner to tell lies to defend himself, but it is against the precepts to tell lies to harm others. Liars will pay the price.]

Numerous Giannas in the Holy Land. And the followers of Aksha who were brought in under arrest.

The people of the Asutra Holy Land may not know it, but the atmosphere of the Jiana slaves who were brought in to invade their holy land was scary. I’m just holding back because we had a fight before. If it wasn’t for that, I think I would have rushed in and cut off their heads right away.

Afterward, I brought in a guy as the first batter. He was originally a Kishatriya, but now he has become an ordinary person, trembling like a lamb without showing the arrogance of a Kishatriya.

At best, he can’t even loosen the rope restraints made of ratna bark fibers… Compared to the glory that was not the glory of the past, it is not surprising that his spirit has collapsed. Because when you fall from a high place, the fall is usually large.

[Name.]

“Uh…”

[Sinners say their names.]

“Ma, Manita, Manita.”

[Looking at it, it was Kishatriya. Anyone who has been harmed by Kishatriya Manita or who thinks they know him should come forward.]

Many people came forward to do so. There were at least dozens of them, their faces red and their eyes bloodshot, staring at him with obvious hatred. Obviously, they are the victims who were harmed by him.

[Victims should state what they saw and experienced. However, as I just said, you must not lie.]

At least this time there were no lies. As there were dozens of people, all charges were filed against him.

Not just one or two. The fact that he was a slave means that he saw and experienced everything from the perspective of a slave. That’s why so many accusations continue.

“That guy raped and killed my sister!!!!!”

“They beat up my friends and younger siblings and broke their limbs as a warm-up before the war!!!!!!”

“That guy kicked me for not being able to clean, and I got hurt and will be crippled for the rest of my life!!!!!!”

I can’t fucking use this guy.

This trial was an opportunity to select those whose crimes were relatively light among the remaining followers of Aksha. But among them, there are people whose sins are certain and serious? That’s obvious.

If there is murder there, it is obvious. Finally, I asked the guy.

[Does the sinner have any excuse?]

“Ah, Ashura, Ashura… I feel wronged. Well, I mean…”

[In my view, everything said by those who accused you is true. I raped and killed someone’s younger sister, beat up people to kill time, and made other people into assholes for the same reasons. Is there an excuse for that?]

“Well, it’s all a misunderstanding. It’s just that.”

[That’s a lie.]

Yes, eliminated.

At best, if he confessed the truth and apologized, it means he reflected on himself, so it’s one chance, but even if he makes excuses, he denies what he did? It’s obvious.

I punished him right away. I have prepared something for this issue, and it is nothing more than a fist-sized jangdol. Jesus also forgave the woman caught in adultery, but adultery, murder, assault, rape, etc. Are completely different laws. No, even Jesus would have been criticized if he had looked at the guy who achieved the Triple Crown in the first place.

It’s heavy, so it’s fun to throw, and if hit incorrectly, it can kill someone. And he gave it to the victims.

[Hit him until he dies. There are plenty of stones.]

And in fact, the execution ceremony continues.

A rock thrown at him hits him directly. There were a few things that went astray, but that was only once or twice. The obsession with killing him with a passion that was almost desperate was greater than the effort put in.

It’s an opportunity to stone your enemy to death with your own hands, but wouldn’t you be upset if you keep missing out?

“Uuuuuck!!! Stop!!! Please, wrong, ugh!!! I was wrong, ugh, ugh!!!!!”

It was not long before a man named Manita, a former Kishatriya, was stoned and turned into a piece of meat. However, he continued to be stoned by people even after he expired.

Only after the corpse was reduced to rags could the first agenda be completed. After it was over, the victims and their bereaved families were in despair, shedding tears, and collapsing from exhaustion due to the constant throwing of stones.

But at the same time, it looks like a relief. This is proof that he didn’t know it when he was a slave, but at least he had that much freedom now.

[Then we will move on to the next item.]

The next person to come out was a boy who must have been about fifteen years old. I wonder if even a follower of Aksha would go to war, but considering the level of civilization here, it is unavoidable.

However, even though he was shaken, what was slightly different was that rather than being afraid of punishment for the crime he had committed, he seemed to be afraid of how he would be treated. Even though I’ve gone overboard in that direction, I don’t think he’s the type of guy who committed murder…

[What is your name?]

“Sha, this is Shandra. Lord Ashura.”

[Is there anyone who has suffered something unfair or unreasonable from this person? If you have it, come out.]

A few people showed up, but compared to the dozens before, it was a small number. And when he told me to file a complaint, some of them included perjury.

I told you not to mess around… But don’t get drunk on revenge and try to bury someone.

The reason why Hammurabi created the dynamic revenge method of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was because it meant that it would end at that level. Would it be okay to kill someone just because I broke my arm? Even if you affirm revenge, you must break the chain of revenge.

“Well, that guy hit me and broke my arm!!!!! Thanks to him, it hurts every time I move my arm!!! Please punish him, Ashura!!!!”

[That’s a lie.]

“Yes, yes?!”

[My arm hurts? I think your arm is fine. There’s not even a trace of breakage. It may be true that the criminal hit you, but it would be a lie that your arm was broken.]

“Oh, no. I’m sure I have arms…”

[I’m sure I told you not to lie to harm others, but you don’t seem to agree with what I said. You spouted a lie in the hallowed judgment hall, so I will cut out your tongue, so you can never testify like that again.]

“Now, wait a minute, Ashura, I’m like, keaaaaa!!!!!”

I cut out its tongue with telekinesis. There may be bleeding and other things, but you won’t die.

Oh, by the way, even if your tongue is cut out, you can still write and make a statement, but if you lie next time, your wrist will be cut off. From now on, a cut-off tongue or wrist will be considered a symbol of perjury.

Afterward, I punished Aksha’s follower, the boy Shandra.

[The criminal is clearly a follower of Aksha, but he did not commit murder or cause lifelong harm to others. So he will atone for that sin by serving through labor for the next 10 years. Are there any objections?]

“Thank you, thank you, Ashura. Thank you for your mercy…!!!!”

Even if you commit a sin, it is acknowledged that it is not a mortal sin. Of course, there is nothing trivial about rape or murder, but if it is a crime of assault, it is considered labor punishment. Honestly, killing them all and disposing of their bodies is work. Even if you burn it brightly, there are many problems.

In order to do so, the trial is conducted while maintaining neutrality. Then I saw a quite interesting face.

[I don’t think there’s any need to ask for the criminal’s name this time. Isn’t it? Kabera, the former incarnation of Aksha.]

“Ah, Ashura…”

I thought he died after being caught up in a fight between Jiana’s slaves, but he did not die. But apart from that, his previous confident, confident and arrogant appearance is no longer there.

You can tell just by looking at his appearance, because one of his arms shows that his sleeve is loose and empty. Although the blessed Giannas saved her life with the blessings of Laquesha, it seemed that her severed body could not be restored.

[I guess I’ll have to tell the story as a judge, but this time as a victim. He molested my wife and tried to make her his concubine at will. Even if it is not my personal problem, his sin is serious when he covets someone else’s wife. And… Are there any people who have been harmed by this guy?]

“Yes!!!! Yes, Ashura!!!!!”

“Because of that guy!!!! Because of that guy!!!!!”

“The number of murdered families is in the dozens, and the number of people who became assholes is in the hundreds!!!! The number of women who were raped and killed is too numerous to count!!!!!!”

And this time, people rose up in hundreds, if not thousands. As they were the incarnation of Aksha, the evil they unleashed with their power was so great that their statements screamed evil, but at least none of them lied.

Even if there is, there is no point in distinguishing. Just because it’s true, it’s worth dying 100 times over.

[Your sins are so serious that stoning you to death would not be enough. Dying in a short period of time is just a mercy to you, so I cannot give you the same punishment.]

How do I tighten it so that a rumor spreads that it was well tightened? I decided that it would be better to stop him and kill him rather than cause him pain all at once, so I gave him an appropriate punishment.

If you do it thinly and long instead of all at once, you will of course starve it to death. It looks like he has never starved, but if the cause of death was starvation, how painful would it be?

[Hang him on a pole and starve him to death. However, you will be able to drink as much water as possible. This is not an act of showing mercy, but rather telling you not to die easily. After starving you to death, we will drag out your body and hand it over to those who have a grudge. Does anyone have any objections?]

“I will follow Ashura’s will.”

“If that’s the case…”

The victims were also not very dissatisfied with the idea that they were not being punished lightly, but were being tortured and starved to death.

It seems a shame that he couldn’t torture and tear to death with his own hands, but there were so many living people who wanted him so badly that he had no choice but to compromise.

I think dying means dying, and it won’t be difficult to find even a single piece of the body later. Some people will burn or crush others to vent their anger… Well, I don’t care about that.

He said there was no pain right away, but as the future unfolded that he would starve to death in the future, he, the incarnation of Aksha, no, now just a human Kaberah, struggled to deny reality. In the past, he would have killed everyone around him with inhuman force, but now it is a foolish act that would make it difficult to even hurt anyone.

“I, I!!!! How dare you starve me, who was the incarnation of Aksha!!! Kill me with honor!!!!”

[Isn’t it your logic that whoever has the power has everything? I even defeated Aksha, your god, and gained all your power over life and death. Now that I am telling you, know that you have no right to die with honor. So die ugly and dishonorable.]

“How on earth is this… Aaaaa!!!!!”

And he was immediately caught on the pole. He told me to give him water, so if I give him 2 or 3 drinks, he will die. He may die before then, but I hope he can last as long as possible.

I punished so many followers of Aksha. There were so many that I couldn’t finish it in one day, but I still managed to finish it all.

Let’s punish all those who need to be punished. Among the former slaves of the northern punitive army, those who have not yet resolved their emotions, or those who did not join the northern punitive army but who have suffered unreasonable acts from the remaining Kishatriyas and Aksha believers, came to visit me.

“Ashura… Please accept us.”

“Oh, agent of divine punishment. Executor of vengeance, please give us the strength to punish those like them.”

No, I’m not a real god, so I can’t give you powers.

However, I couldn’t just refuse because Gianna and I had no strength and were in this situation. The only thing I can teach you is martial arts… Oh, then should I teach you martial arts? In any case, once you reach that level, there is no way you can demonstrate Kishatriya-level force.

However, I am worried that the people I taught martial arts will become the next Kishatriya. I can teach martial arts, but I think some kind of safety device is needed.

It would be nice to change the precepts for that and add a precept to respect fellow Jiana and not behave rudely, but there must be a more certain method.

I consulted with Mary about that, and she gave me a good opinion.

“Then wouldn’t it be enough to create a Neungongsim method that is vulnerable to Lakesha’s divine power and give it to me?”

“Oh!!!!! That’s a great idea!!!!”

If the blessed Giannas create a means to keep them in check, no matter how much you hate them, you will have no choice but to respect them, and you will not be able to attack them with force. There is a possibility of modifying the Naegongsimbeop and making it into a new martial art later, but it will be okay if it is embedded in the basis of the martial arts that will be taught.

Still, the possibility of changing it is not zero… Hey, do you know that changing or inventing martial arts is easy? There is no other control group, and if you have the talent to create something new after looking at the martial arts that I will give you and understanding the basic principles of the martial arts, you can do anything, so there is no need to think about that.

Afterward, I decided to call those who wanted to follow me again and give them the power they desired. And I gave a name to those who follow me, just as those who follow Rakesha are called Jiana.

“Good. I will give you the strength you wanted to protect yourself and others.”

“Oh, thank you Ashura…!!!!”

“However, you must not abuse that power. If you act as viciously as Kishatriya, I will come again one day and take away what I have given you.”

I was wondering what to name the people who would learn martial arts and protect the Jiana and fight for them, but I decided to name them ‘Ashurava’, based on the name used here. Even when I think about it, I can’t think of much other than that.

… If it seems like a rough assignment, I blame the Choi family’s naming sense. Anyway, it’s not my fault.
