Chapter 128 It’s not even the 1st and you’re here to pick me up? (Please give me a monthly vote!)
The three emperor-level experts, Old Man Hei and Bazel, conspired to come up with this plan, and Elsie Martin’s power and media were responsible for spreading it.
But unfortunately, they ignored a fatal point - in the face of absolute power, playing tricks will only make themselves become clowns.
The main reason was that Emperor Xi made such a good impression on them.
A "hermit" who has no desire for power, is willing to stay behind the scenes, and has a gentle temperament. He always smiles and is friendly and easy-going.
Who would have thought that such a "hermit" could be more domineering than the Overlord?
Even the Overlord has never killed a powerful person in the Emperor Realm.
Emperor Xi killed two and deposed one. There is a high probability that this deposed Emperor Realm expert is also a death row prisoner.
The other two had a bad reputation, so Emperor Xi executed them on the spot.
Only the crippled one, who is usually too low-key, has no bad reputation, and seems to have done nothing evil, will be spared to wait for trial.
Before today, no one could judge a powerful person in the Imperial Realm, and no one dared to kill a powerful person in the Imperial Realm.
The first reason for not killing the strong ones in the Imperial Realm is that in the early days of the Extraordinary Era, when human beings faced the dilemma of alien beasts, they collectively reached a consensus - human beings need the leadership and protection of the strong ones in the Imperial Realm.
Even if nuclear weapons were later able to eliminate the Beast King and Beast King, this consensus continued.
The second is that those who are strong in the Imperial Realm belong to their country, and those who are strong in the Imperial Realm are often the ones in power in the countries they belong to. They cannot judge themselves, and the countries they do not belong to have no power to judge.
So this is awkward.
Even if this Emperor Realm expert is very evil and does nothing, no one can punish him.
A strong emperor from other countries, such as the Overlord, flew over and killed this strong emperor. He felt happy, but the consequences were that his country was condemned and sanctioned in various ways.
The local people may even think that he is meddling in other people's business.
It's just that some weak people died. We have a large population, but you want to kill our Emperor Realm experts because of this?
In the future, when alien beasts are raging, will you come to save us?
So no one would do such a thankless thing.
Things are different now.
Emperor Xi dares to kill a strong man in the Emperor Realm!
Not only did they dare, no one dared to say anything.
A strong person in the imperial realm is no longer an immortal or unjust person.
A true god who stands higher and overlooks the world and "knows everything" will judge the emperor-level experts on this planet!
And because he did not take power or interfere in parliamentary decisions, his prestige skyrocketed again after this incident, and he was respected by countless people. In just a few days, his popularity index surpassed that of the Queen.
As a supervisor, you cannot have only one pair of eyes and one mouth, otherwise the effectiveness of supervision will be equivalent to none.
It also needs the support of god-level force!
We need a righteous heart to punish rape and eradicate evil!
The island was originally named "Island of Hades", but now it was renamed "Island of Ten Thousand Sins".
Emperor Xi executed all the "strong men" who were on the island at that time, but what about those who had been on the island but were not on the island at that time?
Is that all there is to it?
Of course not.
After hundreds of survivors on the island were picked up by warships, they accused Elsie Martin and the "strong men" who had been on the island but are still alive in the United Parliament the next day.
On the first day alone, more than a hundred king-level experts were named, and fourteen emperor-level experts were implicated.
Therefore, in the dual names of the Queen and Emperor Xi, the United Council issued the highest level summons to these named "powerful men", requiring them to arrive at the United Council within three days.
Whether it is a plea contest or a denial and clarification, they must come in person.
If no one is seen after three days, anyone has the right to execute anyone who fails to be summoned!
There is still a chance to live.
If you don't come to the Council, you will definitely die. After three days, anyone can hack you to death in the name of the United Council without any punishment.
Under multiple pressures, most of these named "strong men" immediately rushed to the capital and were imprisoned. And most of them took the initiative to plead guilty in order to seek leniency.
Now it is being reviewed by the parliament. After all, the parliament will abide by the rules and will not kill them casually.
They took the initiative to plead guilty and paid a large fine, so their lives were very likely to be saved.
But if the council couldn't find anything, Emperor Xi would come to the trial in person, and he would probably execute them on the spot without even saying a word of nonsense.
The emperor-level experts were executed without saying a word. Those king-level experts, even those below the king-level, would definitely die if they carried them to death.
evidence?
When he killed a strong man in the Emperor Realm, did he need any evidence?
He directly sentenced the two Imperial Realm powerhouses to death as the highest person in charge and judge of the United Council!
Because he knew what these two emperor-level experts had done and would not listen to anyone's excuses.
This is true for those who are strong in the Imperial Realm, let alone those below the Imperial Realm.
Denial and sophistry will not save them from punishment, it will only make their death more ugly.
The remaining few named strong men knew that their crimes were too serious and there was a high probability that they would not survive if they went to the parliament. They might as well start fleeing now.
The fourteen named emperor-level experts were also imprisoned by the United Council.
They were not directly involved in the criminal activities on Sin Sin Island.
Because Elsie Martin didn't want the evil things on the island to be exposed, which would lead to the intervention of powerful people in the imperial realm.
Some of these fourteen emperor-level experts are descendants and relatives on the list, and some are closely related to Elsie Martin.
Others knew about the island but had never been there, but had used Elsie Martin's underground power to do some dirty work, and were confessed by the person who handled the confession.
After all, they were strong men in the imperial realm, so the United Council still gave them face, but they were placed under house arrest in a manor and not allowed to come out.
So within three days, fourteen Imperial Realm powerhouses were put under house arrest in a manor outside the capital. Although no other Imperial Realm powerhouses were sent to guard them, none of them dared to run away.
It was not the estate, nor the United Council, that trapped them.
It was Emperor Xi who said he would execute him if he was to be executed.
Death is the greatest deterrent.
They knew that even if they were guilty, the crime would not lead to death. If they stayed in the manor obediently, the Union Council would definitely give them a light sentence.
But if you run away, it will be equivalent to admitting guilt, and it is still a capital crime. If you don't run, you will die.
If it's not a capital crime, why are you running away?
You will be released after being sentenced to twenty or thirty years. Compared to the hundreds of years of life of an emperor-level expert, these twenty or thirty years are not long.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, February 18th, Fang Hao came to the Queen's courtyard.
It's tea time here, and he's here for a special meeting tomorrow.
The so-called special meeting means that this meeting only discusses one thing.
"It's not even the 1st yet, and you're here to pick me up?"
"I have to be present at tomorrow's meeting, so come here to find out first."
Fang Hao walked to the table and sat down.
The maid in maid uniform immediately cleaned a jade tea bowl for him and poured hot tea into it.
The Queen picked up the tea cup, lowered her head and took a sip, secretly rolling her eyes.
"Do you drink tea every day?"
"Or drink alcohol?"
"There are many drinks on this planet. You can try others, such as milk tea, coffee, cola, soda and so on." "...
That makes sense!"
The Queen smiled. Roubu smiled and took a sip of tea.
The tea she drinks is all top-quality tea that is extremely expensive. It is basically impossible to find other drinks that are so expensive.
Besides, is she drinking tea?
It’s the queen’s noble style, Hun Dan!
It's a shame you can think of replacing afternoon tea with a Coke soda that costs a few dollars a bottle.
Fang Hao opened his extra-dimensional pocket and took out two cans of Coke.
"Want a can?"
"..."
"I still have beer here."
"..."
The queen stiffened for a moment, put down the tea bowl, stretched out her hand and said, "Coke."
Fang Hao handed her a can of Coke.
But the Queen retracted her hand and chuckled: "As a gentleman, shouldn't you help me open the can first?" "
Boo!"
Fang Hao directly used his power to pull the tab, and then used his power to put the opened Coke can on the in front of her.
"..."
"Bo"
Fang Hao used his fingers to pull the ring off his bottle. When he was about to drink, he caught a glimpse of the Queen looking wrong.
"What's wrong?"
The queen looked at Fang Hao and said with a smile: "I don't know what's wrong. I just feel that the can in your hand tastes better." The four
maids on the side lowered their heads and almost choked. Keep laughing.
Fang Hao looked at the can of Coke in his hand, then realized what he was doing, stood up, put the can in front of the Queen, and took the other can back.
so troublesome. he thinks.
Why open the can instead of opening it? He just used telekinesis with one can in one hand, and he didn't have a third hand.
"Wow!" The queen poured the tea in the jade bowl onto the grass nearby and replaced it with Coke.
The two drank Coke and talked about tomorrow's meeting.
Tomorrow we will discuss how to deal with those powerful people named?
No, that's just incidental, the meeting will be more in-depth.
In this special meeting, more than 70 emperor-level experts, thousands of king-level experts, as well as a large number of experts in the legal field and people from all walks of life will participate in the discussion.
The legal provisions that apply to ordinary people are obviously not suitable to be applied to extraordinary beings.
In the past, no one cared about Emperor Realm experts killing people at will, and most people didn't even think there was anything wrong with it.
If you offend a powerful person in the imperial realm, aren't you seeking death?
Are you seeking death by offending a king-level powerhouse?
In the past, the strong had the "privilege of killing."
These privileges are based on their extraordinary strength and are recognized by most people in the area as a natural law of survival.
Just like a monarch in the feudal era, he killed a few civilians who offended him. Can you say that he was guilty?
In the eyes of the people at the time, if you were to offend the monarch, wouldn't you be seeking death?
Your family should cut off ties with you to avoid being implicated by you.
Similarly, after humans entered the extraordinary era, the "strong ones" actually became "feudal monarchs" for a long period of time, wielding the power of life and death over ordinary people and those weaker than themselves.
Even the Overlord once publicly destroyed a newspaper that insulted and damaged him.
Of course, the circumstances were special.
But this still shows that after mankind entered the extraordinary era, the "strong" generally obtained the privilege of "life and death" from feudal monarchs.
Looking at their behavior at that time from today's perspective, more than half of the emperor-level experts would have been sentenced to death.
Is this appropriate?
Is this reasonable?
It's obviously neither appropriate nor reasonable.
Looking further up, the Queen kills Adam as soon as she appears.
What sin did Adam commit?
To insist on charging him with a crime is to "offend the Queen", which is also the prerogative of the feudal monarch.
And even this accusation was far-fetched, because the queen was not the queen at that time, but just an alien girl who suddenly appeared.
If according to the standard of "murder is a crime", the Queen should also be convicted of murder.
But everyone knows that this is not realistic.
Therefore, things about extraordinary lives cannot be seen with ordinary eyes and perspectives.
"You should have a complete set of codes there, right?"
"Yes, but it does not apply to humans on this planet."
The Queen's civilization is already a third-level advanced extraordinary civilization. There are no ordinary people in the entire civilization, all are extraordinary.
This set of codes is not suitable for humans who are just starting out.
Because mankind is still in a transitional period. Ordinary people and extraordinary people are clearly distinguished, and there are cultivators in the middle. Is it possible that the three groups share the same code?
So the final result of the discussion between the two was to separate the mortal world from the extraordinary world.
The mortal world follows the existing legal system.
The extraordinary world takes the entire set of codes brought by the Queen, selects the appropriate ones, and implements them step by step.
There will definitely be a lot of details in this that need to be discussed by everyone.
The next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, February 19th in the Gregorian calendar.
Emperor Xi and the Queen attended the first special meeting of the United Parliament together.
Experts from all walks of life rushed to speak, and the discussion was very intense. From the beginning, they were clearly divided into two groups.
One faction can be understood as the "power faction" that preys on the weak and believes that the strong should enjoy privileges.
The other faction is the "equalitarian" faction that caters to the general public and believes that extraordinary people and ordinary people should be punished for the same crimes under the same framework.
Fang Hao and the Queen did not intervene easily, but listened silently.
Although they have reached a consensus on distinguishing the two worlds, leaders can listen to the opinions of all parties, good or bad.
This great debate lasted all day long, and there was no winner.
The emperor-level experts and king-level experts present rarely spoke, and they all watched the experts from all walks of life give their best performance.
After endless debate, someone finally cited the example of "The Queen Killed Adam" as an argument for the powerful faction, causing the equal rights faction to be silent for a full minute.
You continue to fight, the queen is sitting on the golden throne, overlooking all living beings.
The more you argue, the more disrespect you get.
This carelessness can really kill someone.
If this is the result of the meeting, then there is no need to convene this special meeting, let alone invite so many legal experts.
Fang Hao was sitting at the head of the queen's family. Seeing that no one dared to speak again, he stood up and said with a smile:
"Humanity is now in a transitional period. Extraordinary and mortal coexist. To prefer either side is to disrespect the objective reality.
"Since If it's not easy to mix them together, let's separate them. One thing is in the extraordinary world and another is in the mortal world.
"The two sets are in parallel and take effect together."
Seeing him speak, some people echoed in agreement.
Fang Hao continued:
"Let us first establish a fundamental principle. From now on, cases involving extraordinary lives and mortal lives will be subject to the laws of the mortal world. Those who deserve the death penalty will be sentenced to death, and those who deserve to be imprisoned. "Before this, killings were committed to safeguard the dignity of the strong
. The crime may be punished lightly as appropriate.
"Other crimes, such as extraordinary beings that kidnap, trade, torture, torture, kill and other evil deeds against mortals, are even more serious!" What he said was just
a rough outline. Of course, the specific details still need to be discussed and studied.
For example, what is the standard for extraordinary life?
At what level of true martial arts does one begin to be considered an extraordinary life?
After the supernatural world and the mortal world are separated, the problem becomes much simpler.
There is no need to drastically change the current system, but it can also put necessary restrictions on the "power" of extraordinary beings when facing ordinary beings.
In the future, when extraordinary beings face ordinary beings, they will not take action easily because the punishment is too severe.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. From now on, ordinary people will trade their own cheap life for your precious life. Extraordinary people will avoid such madmen.
In the past, the reason why extraordinary beings were powerful was because even if a strong person killed someone, it was difficult for them to receive actual punishment. The local power is often in their own hands, and it is impossible for them to judge themselves.
Now that mankind is unified, the United Council has taken over the power of all mankind and will establish a top-down governance system.
As a result, a higher-level power center appeared on the heads of these "strong men", which was enough to crush them.
From now on, an ordinary life like an ant may use his own life to take away a king-level powerhouse, or even an emperor-level powerhouse.
Yes, a strong person can destroy corpses and eliminate traces.
Then how did Emperor Xi execute the two emperor-level experts and destroy one of them?
Is it because they didn't destroy the corpses?
In the extraordinary world, there are many abilities to find evidence.
The Parliament can gather extraordinary beings from all mankind and allow them to give full play to their talents. As long as you want to find it, there is no evidence that cannot be found (not necessarily physical).
As long as evidence is obtained, the parliament can directly issue a wanted warrant, and those who resist arrest can be executed on the spot.
When facing extraordinary beings, unnecessary procedures can be omitted - this rule is to give the green light to judges like Emperor Xi.
Does Emperor Xi need evidence to kill the Emperor?
Of course.
But everyone trusts him and knows that he will not kill people randomly, so they can give him such privileges.
This is the "extraordinary world".
The deterrence of the strong is the most powerful means of maintaining order.
If we follow the way the mortal world handles it, we have to go through complicated procedures and finally execute them.
I'm afraid there won't be many people who can judge in the end.
Because extraordinary people have the means to destroy evidence. If there is no evidence, they cannot be judged. This is irresponsible to all mankind.
To take the simplest example, a supernatural being who can control fire turns people into ashes and scatters their ashes. Can any evidence be found?
Of course it can't be found.
Can we still judge him?
According to the laws of the mortal world, it is obviously impossible to judge.
So where is the justice?
In the hands of a strong man like Xi Huang.
Only such strong men who are endowed with the power of judgment can deter extraordinary beings who want to do whatever they want.
As long as it is known that you have committed evil acts, you can be executed directly. This is the greatest deterrent.
As for how to know, Emperor Xi has already demonstrated it.
None of the people he executed were innocent.
Kianosh Bazel, a strong man from the Imperial Realm who had his limbs cut off and sent back to the Parliament, also confessed his crime after the special meeting.
Because he knew that even if he didn't confess, he would still die.
In this case, it is better to simply let the world remember you firmly.
The most terrifying thing is not death, but being forgotten.
He has kept a low profile all his life. Since he is about to die, let the world remember him forever!
