Chapter 64: Aleron's Judgement (2/2)
Aleron then looked down at the remaining people, his movement causing many reactions from Rias and others.
They don't know where those thirty-thousand people went, but this fear of the unknown was far more terrifying.
"The second section of people are those with bright red marks," Aleron waved his hand at around two hundred thousand people as they flew up with chains binding them.
"These people actively cause suffering to others at their pleasure and their crimes are abundant, vicious in nature and sense both. They don't have good in their hearts anymore, and they have lost the purpose of life as they only live to cause suffering to others."
Those two hundred thousand people lined up in a long row as they were forcefully bent as if bowing by the chains wrapping them.
"They will be executed."
Instantly, all the people who were hanging in the air shouted and begged.
"No, please don't!"
"I am a hero summoned from another world! I am here to save people! I didn't do anything!" Aleron was about to execute them, but then he heard the so-called hero and a vein popped on his face as he brought the man looking in his mid-twenties in front of him.
"Your name...Jackran, right?" Aleron said with a dark expression. "You sexually assaulted innocent girls and maids and inflicted despair in a weak village where you went to kill monsters to save them."
"You went to save them and then inflicted a worse suffering on them. Why? You raped and killed people in that village because you feared no consequences, huh!? Fucking trash."
Aleron's eyes burst with anger, "Damn it, killing you all is letting you off easy!"
Everyone trembled while Hero Jackran pissed his pants looking at Aleron's angry face as his eyes lost light and started filling with despair. 'No...'
However, their fate was sealed.
In the next second, Rias and others saw a blade appearing above every single person's head before slashing down, including Hero Jackran.
Heads fell and blood rained.
However, he didn't let them go completely. He captured every single soul and sent them to Eldertide Archipelago.
Aleron also waved his hand as a flux of Magilore released, containing all dead bodies and their heads in a closed metal box
Meanwhile, a huge uproar soon rang in the city as many people could see what just happened.
"T-This...Mr. Aleron," Lake tremblingly said, "I-I feel like it's wrong to do this. Killing so many people..."
Aleron confusedly turned to Lake, "What? If I am doing wrong, then are you saying they've done right?"
Shaking his head, Aleron sighed and added, "You don't know what they've done. If you knew, you would kill them as well."
"Anyway, I am not here to listen to your opinions on this. I am here to exercise my ideals with my power. You may call me a demon or tyrant, but the fate of this city and many people suffering in it will change today after I clean it."
"If people are proud of their power, their ruthlessness, their trophies," Aleron said with a proud smile, "Then I am proud to relieve people from their suffering and give them peace. This way, I can enjoy my time with people who also enjoy their lives to live happily."
Aleron's eyes brightly shone as he smiled, "The world is gray and it might be impossible to entirely change it. But wherever I set my foot, the place around me won't be gray anymore. It must be golden and warm!"
Lake, Melkern, Roxen, and others were stunned.
Yueha, Mei, Hua, and Fang smiled, their eyes showing determination to follow their master and support his ideals.
Meanwhile, Rias's heart raced faster, and her face flushed while looking at Aleron. She never thought she would hear such absurd and naive words from someone so powerful, and all the more even feeling such adoration towards him and finding it heroically attractive.
'He is not afraid to use his powers to make his ideals a reality...' Rias looked at Aleron as she birthed a strong impulse and desire to follow him and become his woman, wanting to see him and partake in his journey.
After feeling all that, she also came to form a strong resolve as a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
On the other hand, Aleron waved his hand as the remaining people who numbered over two hundred thousand trembled in fear.
Chains appeared around them as well, while Melkern and others watched with inexplainable emotions.
"You all have red marks as well, but a lighter shade. From your memories, I know some of you have killed innocents knowing and unknowingly out of various desires and emotions, out of impulse, frustration, and all of you are somewhat regretting it."
"Some regretting means that some of you might lean towards deeper red as well if you give up on empathy and kindness," Aleron narrowed his eyes. "However, the deed has been done and suffering has been caused, so punishment is a must as well."
"P-Please give us a chance!"
"I know! *Sniff* I shouldn't have d-done that."
People with regret at their actions and burdened broke down as many begged and cried.
Many of them had put half a foot on this bad path but were tethered between and regretting while some were feeling more temptation to fall deeper and give up to relieve the pain from
regret.
Such was human nature and Aleron increasingly understood all of that after reading so many memories and their experience.
"I have a solution for all of you," Aleron said with a smile. "Not all of you will live because I've judged that many of you are not deserving of living anymore. You've knowingly done it and will do your sin again to cause suffering to others."
"So, I'll give you a chance," Aleron said as his eyes flashed and a knife appeared before many
people.
Around sixty thousand people saw a knife in front of them.
"Forfeit your lives with atonement. You do not deserve to enjoy your remaining life."
The knife neared them and chains around their arms vanished for them to grab the knife.
"If there's hell, I'll see you there," a green-haired man said as he looked at Aleron smilingly before slitting his throat.
'Hell, eh?' Aleron fell into thought as a glint passed in his eyes as if he suddenly got inspiration. 'Good idea.'
People killed themselves with the slick magic knife that easily cut their heads. Many hesitated, but knowing there was no other choice, and all of them had killed innocent people, all of them eventually killed themselves with atonement, anger, and despair mixed. Aleron also captured their souls and sent them into the Necropolis in Eldertide Archipelago.
Afterward, Aleron looked at Melkern and said "Mr. Melker, you can handle the remaining people."
"When I read their memories, I've planted a magic rune in them with those memories as well, even those dead ones have it," Aleron smiled, "So, punish them accordingly in your way while I am in this city and let this new spread."
"Me?" Melkern was startled as he looked at the remaining people on the platform numbered over a hundred thousand people.
"Yes. Create a list of people who died and their wrongdoings by reading the memory rune, and spread it in the city," Aleron's eyes flashed, "People should know because many of them were
wolves in sheep's clothing."
