#654 - Chapter 654: Right to Survival and Collective Responsibility
“A quasi-ally?”
Wu Wei was taken aback and looked at Luis beside him, asking in confusion.
“Aren't you and the devils both forces of the Endless Abyss?”
“In that case, what's the point of your alliance?”
In Wu Wei's own territory, the relationship between his demons and the fallen followers led by the fallen angels, while not exactly great, was manageable under his suppression.
So when Wu Wei heard Luis mention the word alliance, he naturally became puzzled.
Luis chuckled and said in a light tone.
“Lord, you are too young and too well-protected.”
“You are too young to realize the cruelty of the Abyss, nor have you seen the truly cruel side of the Abyss.”
“More importantly, as a lord of the Endless Abyss and the holder of the Abyss Codex, you don't need to worry about safety issues.”
“But we are different.”
The former fallen angel Luis stroked the katana in her hand and recalled.
“From the moment I had memories, I have been fighting for survival.”
“Not just me and my family, but devils, demons, blood clans, rat people, tree demons, as long as they are species existing in the Abyss, they must always maintain a state of combat to be qualified to survive.”
“Under such harsh conditions, demons, as the strongest, will definitely greatly occupy the living space of other races.”
“Except for the Primordial Abyss suppressed by the Lord of the Abyss, demons have a greater survival advantage in other Abyss environments.”
“So in many cases, some weaker races often unite to fight against demons.”
“Indeed.”
Wu Wei said very sincerely.
From his perspective, the demon race is indeed a super race in the Abyss.
They have the widest adaptability, and their attributes are also extremely excellent.
If you add the huge number brought by the demon worms, the status of these demons in the Abyss is indeed unshakable.
Just like the status of Tess Flower Whisper in front of the Mother of Nature.
“According to the strength of the demons, many weaker races do need to join forces to fight against them.”
“If you say so, I can understand.”
Seeing his lord understand what she meant, Luis smiled.
“This is also something that cannot be helped.”
“After all, in the Endless Abyss, weakness itself is the greatest original sin!”
“The Abyss Mother is very fair.”
However, after Luis said this, Wu Wei shook his head.
“No, in my opinion, she is not that fair yet.”
“I don't understand what you mean.”
Wu Wei didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and suddenly touched Luis's eyes.
Although she didn't know what the Abyss Lord wanted to do to her, Luis still pretended to be calm and let Wu Wei's hand caress her closed eyelids.
“I just think.....”
“If the Abyss is really fair, then she shouldn't have allowed the first fallen angel to punish your family.”
“She shouldn't have thrown the Mara siblings, the Little Ghost Matriarch, and other demon heroes into the bottom of the Abyss to be punished for countless years.”
“But, Lord, our ancestors did make mistakes....”
“Maybe.”
Wu Wei withdrew his hand and said with a frown.
“But that's not a reason to punish future generations.”
“No world, no country, or even any system should have so-called joint punishment.”
“Not because of anything else, but because this so-called joint punishment is an extremely absurd and meaningless behavior.”
“Why do you say that?”
At this time, the former fallen angel Luis really didn't expect Wu Wei to say this.
Although Luis herself is a victim of the joint responsibility system, she actually agrees with this kind of punishment from the bottom of her heart.
“Although I am not interested in ruling and do not understand the means of ruling, I believe:”
“Joint responsibility system, in addition to greatly wasting combat power, will also destroy cohesion and cause mutual suspicion among subordinates.”
“What's more, since the mistake has already occurred, the person who discovered the mistake should try to solve the problem in every possible way, instead of blindly punishing those who made the mistake.”
“To take a step back, there is nothing wrong with punishing those who made mistakes, but it is a big mistake to involve innocent people who have not made mistakes.”
“For example, you, Luis.”
Wu Wei looked at Luis in front of him and said.
“You, who have never participated in the fall of the Abyss Lord, are innocent.”
“The same innocent are the descendants of your family, and those demon heroes who were inadvertently involved in the rebellion.”
Hearing what the Abyss Lord she served said, Luis was stunned.
After a long silence, this guy who was stripped of his fallen angel status laughed.
“Thank you, Lord.”
“You are indeed as Lord Liz said, a very special existence in the Abyss. You are different from all the past Abyss Lords.”
“Lord Liz also said that perhaps only you can tolerate a descendant of a sinner like me and give me a chance to atone for my sins.”
“At first, I didn't quite believe it, and even felt rather apprehensive.”
“But now I completely believe it.”
“Because from your territory, I see your emphasis on demon heroes, and I also see your sympathy for my encounter.”
“Compared to those illusory authorities, you care more about war-related affairs, and you are extremely good at these.”
“So I firmly believe that you are really the most special one in the Endless Abyss!”
“Oh?”
Hearing what Luis said, Wu Wei suddenly became interested.
“What?”
“This scumbag angel Liz actually praises me in front of others?”
“Quick, tell me, what does this bastard who can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth usually say about me.”
But unfortunately, after Wu Wei asked this question, Luis immediately fell silent.
“That...Lord.”
“For your health, I still suggest you don't pursue it.”
Hearing this, Wu Wei's face changed.
As a matter of course, a small fallen angel could not resist the authority of the Abyss Lord at all, and plus Luis was relatively honest (stupid), so Wu Wei quickly learned from her mouth about the "sharp comments" of the scumbag angel Liz about himself.
A few seconds later, the entire Endless Abyss resounded with Liz's screams.
