The Evil God Was Uncultured

Just before Mortarion opened the door, someone arrived.

He was the Chief Juror of the Eighth Legion and the Eighth Primarch's most outstanding deputy.

Jago Sevatar.

According to his Uncle, he came here to provide support.

He may not be able to defeat Khorne's Greater Daemon, but he possesses Blackstone Technology, which can minimize Khorne's influence on Angron.

When Sevatar pushed open the brass doors and went inside, it wasn't a gladiatorial arena, but a courtroom.

The courtroom was quiet; no one made a sound, just as they had when they tried prisoners in Nostramo.

"Courage and justice, isn't it?" Sevatar's voice was laughing, a laugh tinged with sarcasm.

"I thought I was going to face Sea of Corpses and Blood, and an endless stream of Daemon under your command."

Everyone in the Evernight Judges Legion knows that the Chaos Gods are no good.

Shortly after, the back door of the courthouse opened, and a person walked in.

He wore a dark red Judge's robe and held Code and gavel in his hands.

Before Sevatar could even react, he was already seated in the audience below.

Then he witnessed trial after trial.

"Insufficient evidence; defendant sentenced to immediate release."

"Insufficient evidence; charges cannot be established. Released in court."

"According to the Law, this charge is not established, and the defendant is released immediately."

Hearing these pronouncements of immediate release in court, and watching these criminals escape legal punishment due to insufficient evidence or sophistry, Sevatar felt no emotion whatsoever; he even felt a slight urge to laugh.

Finally, the courtroom vanished without a trace, and what appeared before him were a series of murders.

They resorted to any means necessary, from murder and poisoning to setting traps.

"Injustice is right before our eyes, the Juror, what are you going to do?"

A voice suddenly rang out in the empty courtroom, like an iron chain dragging across a stone slab.

At that moment, the Inquisitor who had been there stared straight at Sevatar, and the next instant, Sevatar himself appeared in the Inquisitor's seat.

"Make your judgment, Sevatar. I expect you to deliver a fair trial."

It was the sound of Khorne.

Sevatar did not answer Khorne's question; he simply nodded and then took out his treasured scales and placed them on the table.

The first case he faced involved a defendant who committed manslaughter. He was not guilty of a capital offense, but everyone knew that his "mistake" was not a mistake, but rather intentional.

"According to the Law, you should be sentenced to imprisonment."

Above the courtroom, Khorne listened to Sevatar's words with a hint of disappointment.

In fact, the person he arranged was the real murderer, but he had hidden some evidence, crucial evidence.

He just wanted to see what Sevatar would do.

"According to the Law, you should have been sentenced to imprisonment, but now you are facing the Death Sentence."

"This is not fair!"

"Yes, this is completely unfair!"

"You are incapable of being fair and impartial; you are not fit to be Judge!"

"Get down here!"

When he sentenced the man to Death Sentence, the entire courtroom erupted in cheers.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anger and resentment as they stared at him, wanting to devour him alive.

"According to the Law, the harm caused is a fact; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Whether you killed someone intentionally or unintentionally, the person is dead. According to the Law, you need to pay the price; your life is the price.

You're talking nonsense!

You actually fabricated the law!

"You are a sinner!"

"Hehehe, looks like you didn't study much, Chaos Gods."

Then, Sevatar took out something: a Code.

However, it was not a paper-based Code, but a stone-based Code.

"According to the Code of Hammurabi Code, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; hereby, the court pronounces you guilty!"

Everyone in the courtroom was stunned, or rather, the Khorne controlling them was stunned.

He never expected that anyone would know about such an ancient law.

Having once been the god of justice and courage, He certainly knew this law.

However, in the 30,000 years of human development, there have been gaps in civilization. Although they haven't been completely severed, they have still caused a distortion in the development of the entire civilization.

At the same time, the Laws and cultural arts that emerged during the development of civilization will naturally experience periods of discontinuity.

Without ancient indexes and without the guidance of predecessors, later generations would be completely baffled when they see these inexplicable things.

But the person in front of me is different.

The person in front of me is truly different.

It's quite remarkable that he knew such ancient laws.

At this moment, Khorne remembered, "Yes, he was taught by Mr. Han, so it's normal for him to know such ancient laws."

Khorne lost this game.

We lost because of our own negligence.

Immediately afterwards, Sevatar faced his second trial.

After looking at it from all angles, there's only one question left.

Love or Dharma?

This gave Sevatar a bit of a headache.

Because he learned from studying law that legal principles are no different from human sentiment.

Human nature is what matters, but the law cannot be shaken.

Now, if he chooses the law, he loses the hearts of the people; if he chooses the hearts of the people, he loses the law.

"Why can't you learn anything? It seems Uncle was right, you bunch of half-crippled good-for-nothings, your brains don't work properly."

"Guilty verdict, execution Death Sentence!"

"No, the Law finds me innocent!"

"Public opinion says you deserve to be punished!"

"Disregarding legal principles, you are not fit to be Judge!"

That same phrase again! Sevatar's head was starting to ache.

"You're Khorne the Second? Can't you come up with something more original? You're really uncultured."

"According to the law, you are indeed innocent, but legal principles are not without human sentiment. If the Law human sentiment, who would still accept it?"

"The primary purpose of the Law is to maintain stability, and the people's hearts are the foundation of stability. If I acquit you today, you will be judged by vigilante justice one day. Vigilante justice is the last resort, and it is also the law that is broken."

"Today I use you to uphold justice and prevent lawlessness; you die a worthy death!"

"No, you can't do that! Everyone is equal before the Law; your judgment is biased!"

Equality?

"Sure enough, this pathetic and ridiculous world is full of clowns on stage, always making me laugh."

Sevatar was truly at his wit's end. Ever since joining the Imperium, he had been constantly amused and exasperated by these kinds of absurd questions.

Because from beginning to end, neither those within the Imperium nor those outside the Imperium have correctly positioned themselves, nor have they clearly understood what the world is really like now.

Even the Chaos Gods who absorbed their negative emotions became incredibly brain-dead and completely uncultured.

"Sigh, I really don't know why your Uncle likes to call you 'Khorne the Second Fearful,' even though Confucius was a very cultured man."

Immediately afterwards, Sevatar looked at the criminal in the audience.

"Everyone is equal before the Law, that's true, but are you a human being?"

Do you have a human heart? Do you have a human sense of right and wrong? Do you agree with a human sense of good and evil, a human sense of honor and disgrace, and a human sense of glory and shame?

"You're not even human, so from the moment I stood here, you, all of you, were already sentenced to Death Sentence!"
