Minos retracted his thick and long tail, moved his body forward, and looked around at the many new souls.
"Jinlianna's soul has turned into the purest energy, feeding back Hell, injecting new power into my field. You all must remember that as long as the sin is serious, you will end up with the same fate as Jinlianna.
Next, who wants to be tried?"
These souls originally wanted to quickly enter the reincarnation cycle of Hell, but when they saw the fate of Jinlianna, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Judge of Hell.
They are not sure whether the crimes they have committed in the past will anger Judge of Hell and lead to death.
And Minos did not rush these souls. He looked around these souls with great interest again and found that there was a strange existence inside.
"Huh? A fully fleshed human has actually come to my domain. Step forward, human, and tell me what you are doing here?"
Dick stepped out among the souls without fear, "Dear Judge of Hell, I came here just to find the sorceress Xiya. I didn't mean to offend you."
"Xiya... What are you looking for her for?"
"She was my wife, and I accidentally lost her."
Dick The light in his eyes dimmed, and his fingertips unconsciously grasped the gaps in the light armor.
But when he heard the doubtful tone, he suddenly raised his head like a drowning man grasping at straws, "Do you know Xiya?"
Minos shook his head,
"I'm just a little curious about your affairs. Here Edge Hell, there is no soul of the woman Xiya you mentioned. Maybe she is in other layers Hell. However, if you want to get to Hell in other layers, you have to go through my test and trial. Do you understand?"
It seems that the joy is in vain, but as long as there is news about Xiya...
"I understand, Lord Judge, then you can judge me."
"No, I want to see those souls now. Who else wants to be judged by me? Please wait a moment."
Then, Minos looked at those souls again.
At this time, a thin soul took a trembling step forward:
"Your Majesty, my lord, my name is Sefu. I am willing to accept your trial and hope to enter reincarnation as soon as possible."
"Okay then, come forward."
The soul took a few steps forward, and then Minos's thick tail wrapped around his body.
After a moment, Minos's eyes flashed with light.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Sefu, a serf, because he was too hungry, stole two pieces of black bread from his master, and was then beaten to death by his master.
"Well... your theft is only a minor crime. Let's do this. I will send you to the rotating millstone. You only need to persist there for three days without being crushed by the millstone, and then you can enter reincarnation."
"Rotating millstone? Where is that place?" Sefu looked surprised.
"That is a dangerous place for some people, because you will be constantly chased by the magic rod of the millstone. As long as you are pressed by its stone stick, your soul will be transformed into pure energy like the woman in front.
"But your sentence is only three days. Many people will not be able to hold on for thirty years and will abandon themselves and wait for death. So, you don't have to worry."
"That's great, thank you, Lord Judge of Hell." The serf soul hurriedly bent down to thank him.
Minos's snake tail scales suddenly stood up in the opposite direction, scraping through Sefu's spiritual body like a hacksaw, bringing up a string of blue sparks and throwing his soul into the sky behind the palace.
Then, the soul slowly descended until it disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing Dick's curious face, Minos began to explain:
"He has entered the rotating millstone. This man has no sin. His stealing is just a survival instinct.
"However, the rules cannot be broken easily. He will also suffer some Tiny punishment accordingly. Soon, this poor soul will be thrown into reincarnation."
Dick Although I don't know why Judge of Hell explained so much to me, I feel his kindness.
"Your Majesty, can it be my turn next?"
Minos nodded slightly, Dick took a step forward and came to Judge of Hell.
When the thick tail wrapped around Dick's body, he felt a coldness all over his body, and it seemed that even his strength had disappeared.
After a moment, Minos's eyes flashed with light.
He actually shouted sternly, "Demon hunter Dick! You actually slaughtered thousands of creatures. It is a heinous crime."
Dick asked:
"Sir Minos, I am just a demon hunter. I do kill some humans and elves, but most of the ones I kill are monsters."
"Indeed, what you said is true, but among those monsters, there were also some who were not guilty, and you massacred them all indiscriminately."
"But sometimes after I receive a commission from a witcher, I can't clearly judge the rules of guilt or innocence, and they all want to attack and kill me."
"For example, I wanted to hunt down the deer-headed demon that had been causing trouble, but it summoned a group of wild wolves to attack me. Out of self-protection, I killed the group of wild wolves. This... isn't my fault!" Dick argued with reason.
"To put it bluntly, do you know how many intelligent beings have died at your hands over the years, at least five thousand!
"You are only twenty years old and yet you are acting like a devil..."
Dick was about to retort when he heard this: Minos, aren't you a devil?
But after thinking about it, I gave up. After all, this Hell is the territory of the devil.
"In short, you have committed a heinous crime. According to your crime, I can send you to the rotating millstone for a thousand years of punishment."
"A thousand years? That's too long. I disagree!"
Dick struggled instantly, but it was of no avail. He only felt that his body was tightly trapped by heavy shackles and could not break free.
Dick no longer hesitated and immediately activated his talents - Blood of Madness and Giant Transformation.
No, I can't be trapped here, Xiya is still waiting for me to take him back;
When his body became huge in an instant, Dick exerted all his strength and roared loudly, while the tail that bound him slowly became loose.
Dick is overjoyed and ready to continue to work hard.
Once you escape here, you'll have to look for a path to another layer Hell at worst.
"Hmph, a mantis is acting like a chariot!" Minos snorted coldly.
Dick only felt that the force wrapping around his tail became stronger again, and in just this moment, this huge force actually suppressed and eliminated Dick's dual talents. The smile on his face and the red mist in his eyes dissipated instantly, and his body returned to its original state.
Dick was terrified. This was the first time he encountered an opponent who could directly suppress his own talent. The strength of Judge of Hell in front of him was unfathomable.
Could it be that his fate at this time is to be thrown into a rotating millstone and imprisoned for a thousand years?
Let's not talk about whether I can live that long...
Even if he comes out alive, will Xiya still be alive at that time?
No, I have to escape from here.
After struggling a few more times, Dick gave up hope, and then Judge of Hell actually let go of its tail.
Minos He smiled slightly, stood up, and said to the two clerks next to him:
"The next trial will be conducted by you. I still have some things to deal with."
"As you command, Master Minos."
Minos looked at Dick, "You... come with me. I have a task for you. As long as you can complete it, I can forgive your guilt and safely send you to the second floor of Hell."
