  Chapter 580 A Little Shock

  When Thalia returned to the Minerva, Duanmu Huai and others followed her.

   This time Duanmuhuai naturally brought Augis with her, and An also accompanied her. Besides the two of them, Lumière and Mary also joined in.

  The reason why Duanmuhuai chose these people is also very simple. Augis must be with her. After all, he has not been with her for a long time, and his little padded jacket has already started to quarrel. On this kind of battlefield, all you have to face are large-scale enemies such as cosmic monsters and mechs, so powerful firepower is very necessary. Under Duanmuhuai's men, only An and Guleya meet this standard. As for other people, such as Shizuka... It's okay against humans, but it's still not good against monsters.

   It's just that Guleya is very reluctant to contact strangers, and An is excited to see the mecha, so Guleya stayed on the mothership, and An followed.

  The reason for bringing Lu Miaier is simpler. The only top hacker under Duan Muhuai's subordinates, this is another sci-fi world, and if you don't rely on hackers, can you let An use magic to go to the Black Federation network?

  Another reason is that Lumière has a high-speed cruiser White Goddess that she brought with Eclaire when she fled. This high-speed cruiser is useless in the trial court, so it has been idle in the hangar. It's just that Duanmuhuai also needs a vehicle corresponding to the mecha when going to Minerva this time, so he took the White Goddess with him.

  After all...the Inquisition Chamber really doesn't have a similar unit, and Duanmuhuai doesn't want to take a Titan there...

  The reason for bringing Mary is a bit complicated.

Because of the previous battle against the Reapers, Duanmuhuai has already discovered that Mary's golden eyes are really all-powerful, and nothing scientific magic can escape from her golden eyes. To be honest, Duanmuhuai really wants these eyes... It's a pity... If you can't get it, it's all rubbish.

  No way, in order to maximize the potential of the golden pupil, he had no choice but to bring Mary with him, and told Mary to notify himself immediately if she found any abnormalities with the golden pupil.

On the Minerva, Duanmuhuai and the others also met with the crew and introduced each other—well, it should be said that they are all experienced pilots, although they first saw Duanmuhuai. At that time, many people were taken aback, but they quickly recovered their composure, and there was no panic.

   After listening to Duanmuhuai's self-introduction and explanation to the trial court, everyone's expressions were a little surprised.

"really interesting."

   At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, and then Duanmuhuai saw a blond man wearing sunglasses coming out of the crowd, looking at Duanmuhuai with interest.

   "Mr. Inquisitor, according to what you said, the Tribunal protects human beings, right?"

"Who are you………?"

   "I am Captain Cobatro Bagina, hello, Mr. Judge, I would like to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

   "It's very simple. I would like to ask, on what basis does the court judge whether it is human? Is it culture? History? Place of birth? Or genes..."

   "There is no need to make it so complicated."

   Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Captain Cobatello's speech.

   "There is only one standard for the court to review whether a human being is."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai patted the skull mark on his chest.

   "It's the skull!"

   "………… skull?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, not only Captain Cobatro, but also other people showed surprise expressions.

"That's right, for the Tribunal, a human skull without mutation is a symbol of the sacredness and purity of human beings. As long as your skull remains in human form, no matter how messy your body looks, the Tribunal will regard you as a human being." Conversely, as long as your skull mutates and is no longer holy, it is a blasphemous heresy and must be eliminated."

   Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai's voice sank, and his murderous tone immediately made everyone's faces turn pale.

   "Skull... I didn't expect..."

   Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Captain Cobatro showed a thoughtful expression.

   "This is indeed a very special angle, although I have never seen a human with a skull mutation."

  Hearing this, another teenager with green hair frowned.

   "However, we have also fought against some aliens who look exactly like human beings. Could it be that they are also human beings in the eyes of the trial court?"

"certainly."

   Duanmuhuai frowned, and answered the boy's question lightly.

"Perhaps you have always thought that only you are human beings, but I'm sorry, I have to tell you that there are tens of thousands of human civilizations in the universe, and you are just a part of them, not the only one. As for you I don't know what planet they call themselves, but as long as the skull is still human, by the standards of the Inquisition, they are human."

   "No... why?"

   "Simple, because all humans were once remnants of the Empire of Man."

"………Aha???"

  Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

   "Wait, what do you mean?"

   "You want to know? It's actually very simple..."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai described the history of the human empire and how the human empire was destroyed in the end.

"...All in all, this is the case. Driven by the plan, the remaining immigrants from the human empire left the center of the universe and went to various galaxies to develop from scratch. Some people were unlucky and were killed by alien aliens, and some lost their original technology. , had to start to develop again from the primitive period of being ashamed and drinking blood, of course, this is already tens of thousands of years ago, and the human empire has long been destroyed, so you just listen to it as a story."

   "This is unbelievable..."

  After listening to Duanmu Huai's words, many people just felt dumbfounded, and the three views were restored, and some people couldn't believe Duanmu Huai's words at all, but...

   "No, this will explain it!"

  However, some people were quite excited, as if they had solved some century-old mystery.

   "What are you talking about, Miss Serene?"

  Seeing the excited state of the black-haired woman, someone asked doubtfully, this lady is usually a very stable and mature person, seeing her so excited is really surprising.

"You may not know, but in fact, in the field of biology and astronomy, since the aliens invaded the earth, we have always had a question, that is why these aliens look so similar to the earth people, no, Not only the appearance, after genetic analysis, our genetic similarity is also very high, and the biological community has several opinions on this, one of which is that whether it is earthlings or aliens, they all come from the same race ...It's just that no evidence has been found to prove one point!"

   "This is also one of the reasons why the Inquisition uses skulls to distinguish humans."

   Duanmuhuai nodded.

"During the time of the human empire, many human beings had to undergo some kind of transformation or mutation because of the planet they lived on. Therefore, the Judgment Chamber used skulls instead of genes and appearances to distinguish whether they were human or not. Oh, As for the human empire, there is a strict classification manual on how to divide human beings, demihumans and aliens. If you are interested, I can show it to you. Of course, it may not be useful to you.”

   "Please lend me a look."

"no problem."

   "It's unbelievable."

  At this moment, even Captain Cobatro showed a shocked expression, but soon, he withdrew his gaze and stared at Duanmuhuai.

   "However, haven't you thought about rebuilding the human empire?"

   "This is none of the business of the Inquisition."

   Duanmuhuai gave a straightforward answer.

"Whether the human empire exists or not, the Inquisition has one and only one mission, and that is to protect mankind and eliminate all heretics, aliens, and demons that threaten mankind. Besides, the former human empire has been destroyed long ago, and now human civilization has been separated. went down a different path and didn't need our advice."

   "But in this way, what's the point of our fighting?"

   Some people also raised doubts.

   "Aliens are human too, just tell them this..."

   "What's the difference?"

   Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and hummed softly.

"On your planet, even if it's the same planet, isn't the country fighting endlessly? In your eyes, the so-called war between the earthlings and aliens is nothing like a war between two countries in the eyes of the trial court. the difference."

"Well…………"

   This is true.

   At this moment, a boy with black hair and red eyes stared at Duanmu Huai and asked.

   "Since your Tribunal is fighting to protect humanity, aren't you on the side of justice?"

   "The Judgment is the guardian of mankind, but not the messenger of justice."

   Duanmu Huai looked at the other party, and said lightly.

"To put it simply, if for some reason, human beings need to invade other planets to plunder resources to maintain their own survival, then the Tribunal is the vanguard. We will destroy all alien creatures on that planet that dare to resist human beings for human beings—even if we are only It's an intruder."

   "Well, what about the war? Shouldn't the **** who started the war be eliminated?"

   "I can understand your mood."

  Looking at the excited black-haired boy, Duanmuhuai nodded.

"War is painful for most ordinary people. Everyone does not expect their peaceful life to be destroyed. It is indeed a sad thing for innocent people to die in the flames of war... But I am sorry, standing in the courtroom From a perspective, war is just a part of the survival of the fittest within human beings, and we will not prevent or intervene."

"What………"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the black-haired boy was suddenly dumbfounded.

"From the perspective of ordinary people, war can only cause pain, death and destruction. But ironically, from a macro perspective, war is also part of the self-adjustment mechanism of the survival of the fittest within human beings, the future of will, ideal, and desire, Everyone has a different understanding of this. Some people expect world peace, and some expect them to rule the world, but all these cannot be resolved by quarrels. Only the war... the ultimate victor is qualified to decide the future of mankind. The direction of progress and development, so war is inevitable. Moreover, it is also because of war that human weapons and military power will advance rapidly. Isn’t the mecha you drive the same? If there is no war, maybe your mecha will also It will not appear, so when external threats appear—such as enemies such as space monsters, how do you fight them?”

   "This...but..."

  The black-haired boy clenched his fists. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"I don't ask you to agree with my point of view. As I said just now, everyone has their own different ideals and futures. If you think your ideas are correct, then go for it. What kind of future do you want to create? , It’s only about you, the Tribunal will not intervene. Because human beings have different futures, and which one can go to the end... This can only be left to history to judge.”

  “…………”

  After listening to Duanmuhuai's words, almost everyone present fell into silence for a while. After all, Duanmuhuai gave them too much shock, almost to the point of reshaping the three views.

"Do you have any other questions?"

   "I, I have one more question."

   At this moment, a person raised his hand uneasily.

   "That... I lost a front tooth, shouldn't this be considered human by the Tribunal?"

   "………This should go to the dentist, not the Inquisition."
