"Now I think I understand the situation. However, without knowing the cause and effect, what they gained and lost, I, as a judge, cannot pass judgment on others." Ivita spoke.

Melissa didn’t respond, "Interesting view, but not everyone has that much time."

Ivita gripped the Broken Steel Sword and moved next to the wooden frame. The youth looked at Ivita as if he was a person who had been starving for a long time.

Waiting for his judgment.

"Please, sentence me to death..."

"Please, end my torment..."

Ivita raised the Broken Steel Sword up high.

Melissa turned to look at Ivita, "Are you about to make a decision?"

"You’re so curious about his past, you must have empathy for him. Do you want to grant him death?"

"A compassionate person, you should know that the benevolent cannot govern."

The youth on the wooden frame, full of desire, pulled up a smile on his face.

Finally, he could escape from the torment of these four hundred years.

Finally, he would be able to die.

Finally, he could put an end forever to his tragically fragile life.

The youth sincerely said to Ivita, "Thank you, judge."

"Your kindness will surely gain you the favor of the God of All Things. Your enemies, before they meet you, will have heard of your renown."

"I beg you, judge, to grant me death."

Ivita nodded, the Broken Steel Sword pointed not at the youth, but at the chains binding his limbs. The Broken Steel Sword, emitting a faint glow, easily cut through the chains.

The chain that bound the youth’s right hand was unexpectedly severed.

Both the youth and Melissa were speechless in shock at Ivita’s impulsive action.

None of them had expected that the steel sword would fall not on the youth but on his chains.

The youth’s trembling lips looked at Ivita for his motive.

Melissa, on the other hand, frowned, "What are you trying to do, Ivita?"

"Are you going to let this man go?"

Ivita turned around, looking calmly at Melissa, "It was you who wanted me to make a judgment, an uncompromising one that conforms completely to my own sense of justice."

"To guarantee that I could make a judgment that would be wholly in keeping with my thinking, didn’t you promise me that even if I didn’t pass your test, at most I’d lose all memory of coming here?"

"Now, I have made my own decision. I declare that this man be given the death penalty. But not to die within Thousand-Year Fire, I want him to die outside the Thousand-Year Fire and let his soul be judged by the Envoy of the God of All Things."

"Not that the soul disappears forever!"

Melissa was a bit frustrated. "You’re wrong. We only gave you three choices. One is to grant death, within the Thousand-Year Fire."

"The other is to sentence him to be tortured for a certain number of years before granting him death in Thousand-Year Fire."

"The last one is to let him be eternally punished within Thousand-Year Fire."

"There’s no other choice than these!"

"This is the law of Thousand-Year Fire!"

"You’re mad! It’s not too late to take it back..."

Ivita turned around looking seriously at Melissa. "Since you chose me as the judge and hindered my freedom, then you must know that at this moment, the law being exercised here isn’t the law of Thousand-Year Fire, I have my own rules."

"I cannot act according to the law of Thousand-Year Fire because I have my own ideas."

"In your eyes, the law of Thousand-Year Fire may represent everything, but in my eyes, there is law outside Thousand-Year Fire."

"Moreover, sooner or later, I will create a law of my own."

Ivita looked up and saw flames floating above his head that seemed to be the wrath of Thousand-Year Fire.

However, since Melissa had said he wasn’t in any danger, he didn’t need to worry about the Thousand-Year Fire attacking him.

"I think, the current punishment for this man and the other Fire protection families is unfair."

"The Fire Protection Families have protected the Thousand-Year Fire for hundreds of years without getting anything in return, but the punishment for betrayal is more severe than for anyone else."

"Why should this person be punished forever, even though the rest of the betrayers four hundred years ago were allowed to die a normal death and, in worldly terms, being convicted was considered a form of atonement for their sins?"

"Your standards of conviction aren’t the same. In this punishment, ordinary people seem to be the privileged class."

"And this man is to receive an increased punishment, just because of his lineage."

"The descendants of the Five Major Fire Protection Families, like the Sin Tribe, are fundamentally a distinctively treated underclass."

"I believe, when a law judges evil on the principle of equal treatment for everyone, that law won’t induce groundless resentment leading to a breakdown of the legal system."

"When privileged classes or different treatments exist within a law, then there is something wrong with that law."

"Moreover, he had been tortured inside the Fire Devil Body for more than four hundred years, now most of his soul has been burned away."

"He hasn’t caused too much serious damage, he is supposed to be finished."

Ivita was speaking, not just to Melissa, but to Thousand-Year Fire, saying, "Let him die in a normal way, be judged by God in the common way. This is my verdict. This is my sense of justice."

There was no reaction in this orange sea. Thousand-Year Fire seemed to be suppressing its anger, and at this moment, it was the calm before the storm.
