A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 387 Killing to Protect Life

"Gentlemen, I have come here to end this conflict!"

Shirley began to plot against everyone from Heaven who attended the meeting, hoping they would stop the Great Purge.

"Dispute? We don't have any disputes."

Adam was naturally pulled over to confront them.

"The reason I'm here is to prove to everyone that even the devils of hell have the potential to reform, and we cannot abandon anyone!"

Shirley's words were passionate and inspiring.

"Oh? You've presented such a devil? He only became good because he wanted to, it's just your discipline!"

Adam watched with a mocking expression as Shirley used magic to play a video for the angels of heaven.

"Besides, your so-called achievement is simply not committing any crimes? What kind of achievement is that?"

"They are all getting better in just a little while."

Shirley continued.

"you……"

Adam wanted to say something, but before he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Shuzhou's expression.

Jiang Shuzhou stood high in the sky, looking down at the angels and demons with a cold expression on his face.

As if sensing Adam's gaze, Jiang Shuzhou looked back.

Then, Jiang Shuzhou nodded to Adam.

What this means is self-evident.

"You don't have time! The Great Purge is coming soon, and it will last for a whole week! When it does, I'll go and clean up your hotel first, and all the demons will be killed!"

"Hahaha, you little %#, I've wanted to do this for a long time! I've been giving you face before, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful! Then don't be afraid of me..."

Adam laughed wildly, but soon he stopped laughing, thinking that Emily had spoken.

"Wait, what did you say?"

"You said you frequently slaughter demons?"

Emily's little face was filled with surprise; she seemed to have no idea about this at all.

"Adam! You..."

Sheila was somewhat flustered.

"Uh, you didn't know?"

Adam had always believed that while many ordinary angels were unaware of his existence, the six-winged archangel was certainly aware of it.

He had no idea that even six-winged angels were different from one another.

Like Jiang Shuzhou, he didn't care about any of this and didn't care at all about bringing death to others.

Sheila, on the other hand, had to smear her hands with blood because she wanted to protect Heaven.

As for Emily?

She simply could not accept that the safety of Heaven was based on the premise of taking the lives of beings in Hell.

If Heaven can only remain safe by killing demons, then what is the difference between Heaven and Hell?

"What does this mean? What is a Great Purge?"

"Why slaughter demons!"

"You didn't know?"

Shirley looked surprised; she probably hadn't expected that the great purge that would cause so much trouble in Hell wasn't known to all the angels.

"Every year, Heaven sends out demon-slaying angels to kill evil spirits. How could you not know that?"

Xia Li's words immediately caused a huge uproar.

The angels, unaware of this, immediately began to argue.

Some of them thought it was normal, while others suffered from "bleeding mother syndrome," believing that killing is wrong no matter what, even if the other party is a demon or a sinner.

Some angels, however, didn't care.

These angels are mostly strangely shaped, and theoretically, Jiang Shuzhou could also be classified as one of them.

They are generally quite strong, with most of them being at the peak of the mid-level.

These people are primordial angels; they are not human.

A heated argument quickly swept through the entire conference hall.

In the incredibly spacious multi-level hall, Shirley angrily denounced the atrocities.

"When you kill those demons, how are you any different from them?"

Adam laughed at this.

"I am not a demon, I have never committed a crime, so of course there is a difference."

"Wait a minute, who approved this? When did we start this purge?"

"Emily asked."

"It's me, and Moriarty too."

Sheila said.

"I approved it, but Emily, you need to understand, I did it for the safety of Heaven, not..."

"Does the safety of Heaven justify the wanton slaughter of demons?"

Emily and Shirley stood in the same spot and began to accuse Sheila and Jiang Shuzhou.

Sheila's explanations were weak and unconvincing; she merely repeated phrases like "this is a necessary evil," offering nothing new.

But Jiang Shuzhou is different.

"Killing these sinners is not an infringement on their lives, but quite the opposite, it is a respect for their lives."

Next, Jiang Shuzhou will begin his sophistry.

"You're lying! What kind of respect is murder?"

"Shirley said angrily."

"They were born in hell, and committed sins in their lives, so they were destined to be punished. But I have mercifully granted them eternal peace, which is death."

"This spares them from suffering and the humiliation of hell."

"After all, Hell is incredibly chaotic. Although sinners and demons are immortal, this is not a blessing, but a curse."

"This subjected them to endless bullying and suffering, yet they could not die."

"How painful!"

Jiang Shuzhou sighed.

"And I, giving them death equally, even though this heavy sense of guilt engulfs me, I have no regrets."

Jiang Shuzhou's words sounded grand and dignified, but Adam below looked on with confusion. Was his boss crazy? What good would these words do?

"You're talking nonsense! Hell isn't what you think it is at all!"

Shirley retorted.

"What does that look like? Shouldn't these sinners be suffering endless torment and unable to die?"

"Could it be that their colossal mistakes in Fan County will still allow them to roam freely in hell? To let the sins of the world continue to blossom in hell, bearing the sweet fruit of deadly poison?"

At this point, Shirley was speechless.

Jiang Shuzhou understood perfectly well that this wasn't a debate, and he didn't need to persuade Xia Li, since it was irrelevant to her.

What he needed to persuade were the countless angels below.

He wanted to give these angels a reason, an explanation.

If Xia Li were to argue that the demons were doing well in hell, that would be telling all the angels that sinners had not been punished, that they were unruly, irritable, and that the Great Purge was justified.

Because the Great Purge is the punishment for sinners.

If she doesn't refute it, then it proves that Jiang Shuzhou is right; he killed to liberate the demons.

In conclusion, Jiang Shuzhou is bound to win no matter what.

Of course, this will exacerbate the conflict and make both sides more extreme, but it doesn't matter, this is the effect Jiang Shuzhou wants.

"Finally, how do you explain why those demons kill our fellow human beings!"

With a knowing look from Jiang Shuzhou.

Adam announced the death of the exorcist angel to the public.

This was like a nuclear bomb being dropped, and the scene was completely thrown into chaos.
