Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 2)

Chapter 385: The Winner Doesn't Pay The Price (2)

Yev Karina looked dumbfounded.

That was something that she already knew was coming. Even the Senior Bishop lying over there knew the story. All I did was give her a reminder.

The winner wasn't the one to pay any price. That was a universal truth.

It was a simple law. Nothing could be clearer than it.

It meant that even if we tried to cover the didactic morality with all sorts of words, our lives were destined to lead to that point regardless. Yev Karina also seemed to agree with my words.

She merely bit her lips as she looked at me, but that reaction was all I needed to see to know she agreed with me.

Looking back at her, I smiled once more. I knew I had to continue the conversation.

"Am I wrong?"

"..."

"I don't think you have any intention to answer. Well, I'll just accept your silence as affirmation. Haven't I told you that already? People like you and I are the same. If Yev Karina had won this battle, it would have been me to pay the price. If you thought that way, you should be feeling a little disappointed right now. Pfff."

"I am different from you. You... You are trash."

"Why is your hatred directed towards your own kind?"

"I am not trash like you! Mean swindler bastard!"

"I'm not thrilled to say that I'm a scammer, but it's undeniable that I'm a messenger chosen by God, Karina. The divine power doesn't lie. Haha. Jin Qing is also a demon summoner. I'm not sure what the difference is between your lie and my lie that makes you heat up like this. Aren't you the same? Have you not sympathized with agitation and fabrication to promote morale and eventually bring people who don't know anything into war?"

I paused for a moment, then continued again. "In a way, you and the heads of the Republic are even worse. You can say it's an excuse to defend my own morality, but you don't even have the means to rationalize yourself. The one who picks a fight first will always be the one who's prepared for war, and the one who declared war was you. Who's the trash and the scammer now?"

"Stop with the bullsh*t, trash human! I am not talking about the process. I-I'm talking about your means to an end. After all, you lack even the most minimal sense of ethics. Continental laws and war regulations were not created just to be ignored. Senior B-Bishop is not someone who would..."

"You are referring to the Bishop, whose head was broken by a brilliantly dull technique. Gosh. In case you misunderstood the circumstances, I would like to say I did not act in any way that violated the laws of war. I just gave a bottle of fine wine as a gift."

"You know that's not what I mean!"

"You also know what I'm talking about, Yev Karina. I've never violated any form of war regulation. You know that even if I controlled the Senior Bishop from behind, it wouldn't be against the law. It is you who are irrational. Because you think I'm a piece of sh*t, you feel like it'll improve your situation a little if you try to console yourself with belittling me. That's why you're condemning me."

"Ptooey!"

"I think that's how you cheer yourself up. In the first place, if you weren't really like me, you wouldn't even be in this war. You would be stuck deep in the woods, devoting yourself to studying ethics. In the end, you and I are the same."

"I did it for Jin Qing and the Republic soldiers!"

"Ah..."

"..."
