74: A cruel trial wiped out 200,000 Daha!

The Sky Curtain did not care about the Challengers' protests and directly deducted 20 points from the three hundred ninjas who accompanied Iga Ryuji, then teleported them out of the instance, using the same method.

There were a total of one million people in the instance, and it was impossible to try them one by one. Those with the same crimes would be dealt with uniformly.

… …

“Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Yasui, please step forward!”

“You and your troops actively invaded the Dragon Country, another third-party force, within the instance, violating the instance's mission settings and also disrupting the peace of Earth Online. However, considering that you did not kill any Dragon Country people, but were unilaterally massacred by the Dragon Country… The Sky Curtain has decided to deduct 600 points from you as punishment!”

Just like that, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Yasui had their points directly deducted and were teleported out of the instance.

Those who received the same treatment included Minamoto no Yorimitsu's fifty thousand Shogunate Samurai Special Forces and Yasui's fifty thousand Bacterial Unit members.

Seeing these people have 600 points deducted, some Challengers actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this amount of point deduction was really not much. Although some people would be directly demoted, it was definitely not fatal!

It could even be said that it was painless for Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Yasui.

One must know that the minimum deduction for failing this instance mission was 500 points. Minamoto no Yorimitsu and others directly invaded other forces, which meant they severely violated the instance rules.

If judged by the previous two Raging Sea punishments, the extra 100 points were actually quite merciful.

One must know that Ito Hidekazu's point penalty was multiplied tenfold previously for violating Eagle Country's warning!

“Please, Kogurada, Miyazaki Sanrin… step forward!”

The Sky Curtain then called out the names of twenty other Commanders of the East Island bases. These people were considered high-level members of the Challenger Camp. The Emperor directly assigned them positions, making them responsible for managing the Challengers in their respective military bases.

However, they were essentially just bystanders in this instance, simply carrying out the Emperor's orders.

In reality, they didn't fire a single shot and were directly blown up by the hypersonic intercontinental missile AGM-183 ARRW.

“You forcibly conscripted soldiers in the instance, causing many East Island civilians to die with you under the Eagle Country's missiles, indirectly leading to their deaths. The Sky Curtain has decided to deduct 800 points from you as punishment!”

Approximately four hundred thousand Challengers committed the same crime, making up the majority of all Challengers.

They also had their points deducted and were teleported out at the same time.

With this, over five hundred thousand people had already left the instance, and the International Court now seemed much emptier.

The remaining five hundred thousand Challengers, seeing that those before them had safely left the instance, immediately became complacent, as if having forgotten their pain, and began to whisper.

“Looking at it this way, this so-called judgment actually doesn't deduct too many points.”

“Actually, 800 points is still a lot. This score could directly instant-kill many LV0 and LV1 people.”

“Hmm… Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor for allowing us to extract points in advance at the shrine, so we won't be erased no matter what.”

“Haha. I think this must be the Sky Curtain's restriction on the instance, preventing Lin Ye from deducting large amounts of points from others like before.”

“This is truly a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing to survive in such a perverted instance.”

These people wanted to continue discussing, but a roar from the Sky Curtain scared them all into silence.

“Silence!”

“No loud noise is allowed in the International Court!”

“Yamamoto Thirty-eight, Tominaga Yukiyasu, please step forward!”

“You two, and the Navy and Air Force you led, severely violated the instance rules by ambushing Pearl Harbor under the pretext of surrendering to the Eagle Country! At the same time, your actions were also the instigators of the war between East Island and the Eagle Country! Causing the innocent deaths of a large number of East Island civilians!”

“You have all committed many crimes. After calculation, the Sky Curtain has decided to deduct 10,000 points from each of you!”

10,000 points!

This time, it was a very fatal point deduction.

One must know that a LV1 Challenger needed 10,000 points to advance to LV2.

And many of these Challengers only advanced to LV2 after extracting the Da He Settlement's reserve points at the shrine.

Points were incredibly precious. The shrine's points belonged to the common assets of the Great Harmony Settlement and were strictly controlled. No one except the Emperor could withdraw them.

So many Challengers entered just barely at the promotion line.

A deduction of ten thousand points meant that some people would be instantly killed!

These Challengers were directly dumbfounded. They had just been celebrating, but now they were kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.

“I… I don't want to die!”

“Why were they only deducted a few hundred points, while we have to be deducted ten thousand?”

“This is simply unfair! We all acted under the Emperor's command.”

But the Sky Curtain would not give them a chance to argue and immediately began the point deduction and instance teleportation.

In an instant, many Challengers were directly instant-killed, their bodies crushed by an invisible pressure, without even uttering a scream.

There were as many as four hundred thousand people in the Navy and Air Force! At least half of them were erased in this way! As many as two hundred thousand people!

Two hundred thousand people died permanently in the instance.

And those who miraculously survived were not much better off.

After deducting ten thousand points, almost all of them would be demoted!

Some even dropped directly to LV0, becoming the most humble and weakest Challengers in this world.

LV2 was considered the upper class of this world, and they instantly became the lower class. This huge drop in rank made these people feel worse than death.

Moreover, due to their sudden drop in level, they lost the authority to carry instance weapons, which would greatly increase the possibility of being instant-killed in the instance later on.

Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be teleported were teleported. At this moment, only the Emperor and Ito Hidekazu remained in the hall.

The Emperor no longer wasted any words arguing with the Sky Curtain.

Because there was no meaning. The Sky Curtain's point deduction had already been carried out, and those people had been directly erased.

At this moment, the Emperor could no longer care about the lives of others, because a sudden sense of fear also arose in his heart.

He realized something, that the rules of this so-called judgment were actually entirely set by Lin Ye, who used some so-called rules to amplify the point deduction.

Lin Ye would use various methods to make this reward and punishment seem reasonable, thereby passing the Sky Curtain's review.

But the Sky Curtain was inhuman; it only followed logic and reason.

In other words, as long as Lin Ye made everything reasonable and logical, it was possible to deduct an excessive amount of points at once.

The Sky Curtain would correct it before the next instance opened if it detected an excessive point deduction, but all the punishments this time were already in the past.

The Emperor was not afraid of being erased, because he was LV4, and his point reserves were already astronomical. It could be said that the entire Great Harmony Settlement was supporting him.

What he feared was being demoted!

If that really happened, he would inevitably step down from the position of Emperor, and then he would no longer be the Emperor.

“Ito Hidekazu, please step forward!”

Ito Hidekazu trembled, still kneeling on the ground.

Then he grinned and suddenly burst into laughter at the judgment stand, saliva drooling all over him.

“Hehehe, I'm not dead! I'm not dead!”

“Lin Ye's atomic bomb didn't defeat me either!”

“Ito Hidekazu is simply a genius.”

Crazy! Completely crazy!

Looking at Ito Hidekazu's grotesque appearance, the Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

He never imagined that a single atomic bomb could scare Ito Hidekazu into idiocy.

“Ito Hidekazu, please step forward!”

The Sky Curtain announced it again. Seeing Ito Hidekazu still motionless, the Sky Curtain directly began the judgment.

“Ito Hidekazu, as the Deputy Commander of this instance, your sins are grave… Your crimes are as follows:”

“1. Mass conscription, harming the people of East Island!”

“2. Falsely surrendering to the Eagle Country, but secretly planning the attack on Pearl Harbor…”

“3. Maliciously controlling the East Island media, spreading erroneous militaristic ideology…”

The Sky Curtain listed more than a dozen crimes.

Actually, Ito Hidekazu was really wronged this time, because all these things were done under the Emperor's command.

He was at most a messenger.

But nominally, he was not wronged, because he was indeed the Emperor's chief of staff, strategizing for various evil deeds.

At the same time, many things were personally carried out by him, which meant he was the direct perpetrator.

“The Sky Curtain has decided to deduct 100,000 points from you!”

“Due to your severe lack of points, you will be directly erased!”

Hearing the Sky Curtain's judgment, Ito Hidekazu's face showed no despair; instead, he smiled even more brightly.

He pointed his hands at the judgment stand, suddenly did a somersault on the ground, and laughed wildly.

“Hehehehe, I, Ito Hidekazu, am the great genius of Azure Star!”

“Lin Ye is nothing more than that. I will definitely be able to kill him in my instance!”

“I am a genius!”

“I am…”

“Ah ah ah ah!”

Ito Hidekazu's words were cut short as a massive force directly pressed down on his head, crushing him into mosaic fragments all over the ground!
