Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: The King of the Underworld's Rules, script Completed

"What? Judgment, resurrection?"

Aglaea was stunned. Did this mean he was going to resurrect the innocent?

At this moment, in Aglaea's eyes, Oliver's figure once again grew tall.

Just now, she had some thoughts about his act of harming the innocent in a fit of rage.

Now there were none.

He killed well!

He killed too well!

"I knew you would do this."

Castorice smiled slightly, as if she had long anticipated Oliver's actions.

After more than ten years of constant companionship, she understood Oliver quite well.

He killed without batting an eye, but he also wouldn't indiscriminately kill the innocent.

Today, he dared to directly slaughter nearly ten thousand people, so he must have had some plan.

As Castorice expected, Oliver indeed had this idea.

Another point was to establish his authority, to set new rules for Amphoreus.

This rule would require some unjustly deceased people to serve as examples.

Of course, a more important point was that Castorice didn't want to see innocent people die; she would be very sad. So Oliver would try to avoid it.

"You understand me best."

Oliver reached out and placed his hand on Castorice's face, his thumb gently moving to wipe away the dust on her face.

Castorice's cheeks quickly flushed at this gesture.

"I... I'll go get busy first."

She turned and walked away, using her divine authority to gather all the recently deceased souls before her.

Oliver then patted Aglaea's smooth shoulder: "Aglaea, your Golden Silk can also sense souls. Go and sense which souls are good people and which are bad people."

"Especially pick out those guys from the Senate. I want to throw them into the River Styx, never to reincarnate."

Never to reincarnate.

That phrase sounded terrifying.

However, this terrifying phrase came from the mouth of a seemingly harmless person.

"Of course, I am also very willing to serve."

Aglaea smiled slightly, baring her teeth.

With the cooperation of the two, the souls lined up and came before Aglaea.

Aglaea then used the Romantic Titan's divine authority to judge whether they were good or bad.

If they were good people in life, Castorice would wave her right hand, rejecting death and allowing their souls to be resurrected.

If they were bad people in life, Castorice would banish them to the River Styx in the Underworld, preventing their reincarnation.

Those who were neither good nor bad, because they were collateral damage, could also be resurrected.

What happened here naturally caused a huge sensation in Okhema.

The citizens trembled in fear at the giant finger, and then were even more shocked to see the finger flatten the Senate.

"Has the Black Tide descended? Or is it an enemy attack?"

"It's terrifying, I saw the Senate turn into ruins, and it seems everyone died!"

"I heard that someone in the Senate at the market wanted to kill the resurrected Saintess. Could it be that they got their retribution?"

People gathered towards the ruins.

They happened to witness the grand scene of souls being judged and the dead being resurrected.

"To all citizens of Okhema:

I am Aglaea, speaking to all citizens of Okhema through the power of the Titan's Golden Silk."

At this moment, Aglaea's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"The Senate, in order to seize the power of resurrection, attempted to murder the Death Titan, and was therefore annihilated by divine punishment."

"King of the Underworld Oliver has promised us: all people will be judged after death."

"Those who do many good deeds can return to the earth and be resurrected."

"Those who commit evil deeds will be thrown into the River Styx, never to reincarnate."

Ordinary people will be reincarnated, welcoming a new life.

The King of the Underworld mentioned by Aglaea was a title Oliver came up with temporarily.

Since Castorice and Polyxenia, the two Death gods, both obeyed him, wasn't he essentially the King of the Underworld?

"Resurrection? As long as we do more good deeds, we can be resurrected? That's fantastic!"

"Heavens! So that Resurrecting Saintess was the Death Titan, and she even bought cloth from me before!"

"Let me think, I don't think I've done anything bad... Does failing to repay a loan count?"

"In that case, the archon's faction is much better than the Senate. Those villains shouldn't be granted eternal life. The Golden Age rules aren't as good as the King of the Underworld's rules!"

Many people in Okhema understood the difference clearly.

While the Golden Age did grant eternal life, many wicked people also received it, and they would bully others forever.

It was better to follow the King of the Underworld's rules: good people gain longevity, and bad people suffer death.

Everyone who wasn't malicious chose to support the King of the Underworld and support Aglaea.

This matter caused a sensation not just in Okhema.

Other city-states also received the news consecutively.

Xuangfeng City, Sabini, Adian, Olivfranca...

"Then, we Xuangfeng people often fight and kill, and we also resist the Black Tide on the front lines. Are we considered good people or bad people?"

"Even the Death Titan personally came out, and this is a holy city protected by Kephale. Is he taking advantage of the fact that Kephale died early?"

"The King of the Underworld that name alone sounds incredibly powerful, it gives me the chills. I heard one of his fingers is as big as Kephale!"

Soon, the King of the Underworld's rules spread throughout Amphoreus.

They were all considering whether they would be resurrected after death or banished forever.

Should they start doing good deeds now to secure reincarnation later?

The Senates of the other city-states were very nervous, fearing that the King of the Underworld would quietly arrive in their city-state and stage another massacre.

One month later.

Without any competitors, all the authority in Okhema fell into Aglaea's hands.

But Aglaea had an agreement with Oliver.

That was to work for the Underworld.

To help Castorice and Polyxenia distinguish between good and bad.

This way, Castorice would not have to worry about resurrecting wicked people.

Castorice was extremely satisfied with this system.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the script.]

[The script will close in 24 hours, and the host will leave the current world.]

"It's finished?"

Oliver was stunned for a moment, having not expected the script to be suddenly resolved.

He had originally just wanted to create a system to make things easier for Castorice and Polyxenia in the future, so they wouldn't be hated anymore.

He never expected it to trigger the script.

"Twenty-four hours... This time I have enough time to say goodbye to them."

It was just a pity he hadn't heard Castorice confess yet.

Just as he was feeling this emotion.

Castorice suddenly appeared before Oliver.

She clutched her chest, as if suffering from some affliction.

"I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my heart... My intuition tells me you are going to leave me."

Castorice looked at Oliver with a worried expression, seeking an answer.

"Has your understanding of me reached the point of perfect telepathy?"

Oliver smiled softly.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him wearing new clothes, he felt reluctant to part.

When Castorice saw that Oliver did not deny it, she instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She was close to tears, which were already welling up in her eyes.

"Did I do something wrong? I can change, as long as you tell me, I can change anything!"

"I only beg you, don't abandon me..."
