Chapter 471 Difficult choices
Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing Maribel's answer, Rhode still felt a little discouraged. He looked at Lilian, who was lying on the hospital bed, with a thin and yellow complexion, and fell into a deep coma, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He and Lilian had not known each other for a long time, and Rhode often treated her as his sister. Because of this, seeing Lilian's current situation made him feel quite heartbroken. But even so, Rhode took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his inner anxiety, and asked.
"Are you sure there is no way? Marie Bell?"
When Mary Bell heard Rod's inquiry, he nodded slightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty Rhode, it is not a big problem to just remove the chaos eroded by her arm. But as Miss Qilian said, the power of order contained in this chaos is very strange. I am not sure whether Chaos will use the power of order to change the lady's body and even soul from the inside. Therefore, I think the safest way is to kill her." As he said this, Maribel coughed gently and then raised his head. "Of course, if Your Majesty wants, he can resurrect her after killing her. After being washed by the power of order, I think there should be no future troubles."
"Well……………"
Hearing this, Rod immediately understood that the reason why Maribel said she was powerless was not that she really couldn't do it, but that her "not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of something" had aroused again. Just like she was the same at the beginning. In case, Maribel could even give up her own ** and let Rhode transform her into a card elf again, let alone others. Lilian may be worthy of care in the eyes of others, but in Maribel's eyes, it is no different from an item, since she was also eroded by chaos. Then in Maribel's eyes, the safest way is obviously to kill the roots.
Thinking of this, Rhodes and his sister looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Maribel is a very principled person. She is even more cruel to others and treats herself even more. So if she believes that this matter is not safe enough, she will definitely not do it. Especially Lilian has a special identity. If she is really defiled by chaos, then Maribel will definitely put the elimination of her at the front and the rescue of her at the bottom. After all, it will be completely eliminated after killing, but after saving it, it is very likely that all kinds of unknown sequelae will appear. If chaos lurks in Lilian's body and transforms her thoughts, then Rhodes and others will definitely not be able to detect it.
In terms of reason, Marie Bell's decision is correct, but emotionally, it is absolutely impossible to accept.
"Is there no way you can?"
Rhode also knew that he would have no chance to change her mind when he persuaded Maribel, so he asked his sister in a low voice. After all, she was the original Void Dragon who created the demon god, so she would always give her face. When he heard Rhode's inquiry, his sister shook her head helplessly and replied in a low voice.
"It's useless for me to persuade her. Marie Bell is born to be a serious person, and it's very difficult to change her mind."
It's really troublesome...
Hearing his sister's answer, Rhode frowned. Although he could understand Maribel's concerns, he would never be able to kill Lilian with his own hands. And even if he didn't do it, he would not let others do it. Regardless of whether Lilian could be resurrected or not, those who do such things would be under great psychological pressure, and Rhode would naturally not let others do such things.
Rhodes also asked her about her, but because the rules of each world are different, she cannot guarantee that she will definitely be useful. So Rhodes can only give up the idea of going to the evil path and continue to think about what else is worthy of attention.
"Is there really no other way?"
Sonia obviously did not want to accept this fact, even if she was the "beneficiary". She frowned and looked at Marybell with a little hostility. After following Lilian for so long, Sonia had completely treated Lilian as her sister and daughter. Because of this, she was the one who disliked Marybell's suggestion the most. Therefore, she was faintly indifferent and hostile in her speech, and the others obviously noticed this and looked at each other a few times, but they didn't say anything.
“I think this is the best way.”
Maribel looked at Lilian and spoke decisively.
"No way!"
Hearing Marybell's answer, Sonia's figure flashed, and the next moment, she appeared beside Lilian, blocking Marybell's vision. Although her expression had not changed, her eyes were obviously rejected. When she noticed Sonia's hostility, Marybell raised her brows and stretched out her hand. As soon as she moved, a small magic wand appeared in Marybell's hand. Seeing Marybell's movement, Sonia also looked dark, then she stretched out her hands, and then an illusory mirror appeared between Sonia's hands, reflecting a faint and hazy glow.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a tense scene shortly after they came back. Many of them knew how deep the relationship between Sonia and Lilian was. If Maribel really wanted to attack Lilian, then Sonia would definitely fight to the death with no room for compromise, and even Rhodes would be useless. On the other side, Maribel was also a stubborn person. What she believed was absolutely correct, and the correct ones had to be implemented to the end. Anyone who stood in front of her was an enemy. Now that Sonia dared to stand in front of her, she was basically her own enemy in Marybel's opinion.
"I can't accept this kind of thing just because of a possibility, Miss Marybel. If you are not sure, please leave."
Sonia stared at the woman in front of her coldly, and the silver-white round mirror in her hand emitted a seemingly vague light.
"I'm not going to see that the dragon soul heirs are eroded by chaos, but just in case, we must make all preparations to deal with possible sudden situations. You can't guarantee that the dragon soul heirs behind you will not leave traces of chaos erosion, right?"
Maribel gently raised the magic wand in his hand, and it seemed extremely relaxed.
"You can't guarantee that His Majesty Lilian's body will inevitably have traces of chaos erosion. Isn't it?"
Sonia raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Maribel coldly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Sonia was determined not to let Maribel take action, and Maribel also wanted to take action. No one expected that the situation would develop into this embarrassing situation in an instant. Even Alice and Marlene were standing by at this time, not knowing what to do.
"Sister Maribel, Sister Sonia, don't be so excited for now."
At this moment, Christie coughed gently, then walked up to speak. When she heard her words, Maribel and Sonia looked at Christie, and then took a step back. But they did not have any relaxation at all, which gave Rhode a headache. He did not expect Sonia to be so excited. If he had known this, he would have come forward by himself, but now...
"Mary Bell, is there really no other way?"
Thinking of this, Rhodes had no choice but to come forward and ask again. Facing Rhodes' inquiry, Maribel shook his head.
"This is the safest way, His Majesty Rhodes."
"Hmph. After all, you are just not capable enough."
Sonia lowered her eyes, stared at the ground, and murmured in a low voice. Although her voice was not loud, it sounded like she was talking to herself, but there was no ordinary person present, so naturally she heard her words. She smiled bitterly, and even Rhodes couldn't say anything more. The things between women were not reasonable at all. Fortunately, this had nothing to do with him, otherwise Rhodes' first reaction would definitely turn around and leave. He knew very well that if he was involved, it would get deeper and deeper, and then a bad person would make him unlucky.
"Mary Bell, is there really no alternative?"
At this moment, the girl who had been standing beside Rhode asked softly. Her voice was not loud, but it appeared clearly in everyone's ears, and it sounded as if she was whispering to her. When she heard her sister's inquiry, Maribel was silent for a moment. Although she was indeed stubborn, she was not as emotional as the original Marine. If it was the original Marine, then the method proposed by Maribel would naturally be the best for her heart.
In theory, because this is the most practical and safest way to deal with it. As for the cracks between the people, Marin will not care about it. Human feelings are illusory and have no fixedness, which is far less important than a reasonable and clear plan. However, Marin is naturally not as ruthless as originally, and Mary Bell is just stubborn. When he heard the Dragon of Void himself ask, he frowned, but he quickly answered.
"There are ways to replace her, but I think it will be more painful than killing her, so I didn't mention it."
"What's the solution?"
Hearing that there was a replacement, Rhodes asked quickly. When he heard Rhodes's words, Marie Bell was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
"We can forcibly awaken her spirit and baptize her soul, just like taking a bath, using the power of order to wash away His Majesty Lilian's soul. In this way, after I eliminate the chaos, it is very likely that the fragments of chaos remaining in His Majesty Lilian's body and soul will be eliminated. Although the power of ordinary dragon souls cannot be transmitted between each other, the two Majesties are both Void Dragons, and the power of Void can accommodate the power of the other four Creation Dragons. Therefore, if the two Majesties join forces, there should be no problem."
“Are there any side effects?”
Hearing this, Rhode was stunned. This method sounded much better than killing something directly. However, he soon realized that it might not be as simple as it sounds, otherwise Mariebell would not have wanted to kill Lilian than to use this method to help her clear the chaos.
"Of course, your majesty."
Hearing Rhode's answer, Marie Bell raised her brows gently and then spoke.
"This is a very painful process. Because it is a comprehensive baptism from the soul to the emperor, His Majesty Lilian will feel unprecedented pain, just like we have to tear off a layer of festering skin first and then heal it. If His Majesty Lilian's body has too much chaos power, it undoubtedly means reshaping her whole body from the soul to the emperor. I can assure you that it is definitely not a pain that anyone can tolerate. And if there is anything, then even if the soul baptism is successful in the end, His Majesty Lilian herself may have a mental breakdown because she cannot bear this strong stimulus."
Speaking of this, Maribel looked at Lilian again, who was blocked by Sonia.
"I am sure that His Majesty Lilian is not able to bear this pain and has a mental breakdown of about ninety-nine percent."
This is basically no different from 100%. If Marie Bell had not been cautious by nature, "I'm afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one," she would have given up even one percent.
“……………………………”
Hearing this, Rhodes had nothing to say. If this is true, then Maribel would rather give Lilian's good and let her suffer less. Although Rhodes himself had never experienced that kind of pain, he was sure that since he could make Maribell so confident, most of them were not able to bear it. Not to mention that Lillion was still a child, and he was not much more determined than ordinary people in spirit. If he really did this, it would be equivalent to letting her suffer alive. And the so-called mental breakdown was no different from death.........
Although if Lilian collapsed, Rhode could also kill her and resurrected her into a card. But Rhode knew very well that the reason of the soul itself was very related to their mental state during his lifetime. For example, the card elves he resurrected were mostly awake during his lifetime. But if the soul was mentally insane during his lifetime, then the resurrected cards were naturally crazy. Therefore, if Lilian really couldn't bear the mental collapse, then even if Rhode restored it to a card, he would only get a card elves with mental collapse.
For a time, even Rhodes had difficulty making a choice. It was like after a person's brain died on earth, although he could use instruments to maintain his life. However, brain death also marked the disappearance of a person himself. According to the truth, he should be completely euthanized at this time. But for his family, as long as he is alive, there is a glimmer of hope. Maybe he will wake up from his sleep at any time, so even if he is half dead, he will support him until he can't really support him.
No one can tell whether this kind of thing is good or bad. This is also the reason why euthanasia caused great controversy on the earth. In the eyes of others, dragging it like this not only wastes money, but also wastes time and medical resources, and also makes the patient suffer themselves. It is better to give him some pain. But in the eyes of the family of the person involved, as long as he can live, there is hope. If he is promised to be euthanized, then what is the difference between killing him with his own hands?
There is no reason to say about this kind of thing. Although the theory is correct, the correct one does not necessarily mean that people will accept it.
Now, Rhodes also faces such a dilemma. Indeed, if according to Marybell, he would kill with one sword. With his own strength, it would be easy to make Lilian die without pain. The most important thing is to not overcome the hurdle in his heart. But on the other hand, if he does not kill her, he will suffer all the torture and pain, and he may not be able to succeed. He is leisurely and relaxed and has no moral burden, but is this a good thing for Lilian?
In short, this is a question of whether it is selfish or not.
Thinking of this, Rhode frowned and was silent for a moment, and finally, he sighed softly.
“How much time do we have?”
"According to the current situation, it will be up to two days."
Mary walked over, carefully looked at Lilian's arm, and then answered with a serious expression.
"In two days, the power of chaos will erode His Majesty Lilian's arm. We originally planned to cut off His Majesty Lilian's right hand before this. Although this may not be good, at least it can save His Majesty Lilian's life. But now it looks like..." As he said, Marin shook her head and then looked at Maribel not far away. "...... It seems that our solution is useless."
In fact, Marin knew deep down that Marie Bell's idea was correct, but she really couldn't accept it.
“…………………”
Rhode looked at Lilian in front of him silently. Now he could only do these two things, choosing one from two, but each of them was a very difficult choice. He did not expect that he would encounter such a thing just now when he came back, and his original good mood had disappeared. But even so, he forced himself to calm down and then spoke.
"Don't worry, since that's the case, then we will discuss one more day and make a decision tomorrow... If it really doesn't work, we can tell Lilian about this and let her decide which one is better."
