This is not the point.
Taking a step back, Astraea felt that even if Liu's final blow at that time had killed the monster with that magic, there was a high probability that Liu would be able to get out of the shadow.
Although all the companions of the clan died, Liu, you also avenged their companions!
But after the final blow, the seriously injured monster escaped.
——Up to this point, Astraea has been able to find ways to comfort or enlighten Liu. The monster killed your companions, so Liu, cheer up and avenge your companions in the future!
Everyone needs to look forward.
But not long after, Liu discovered traces of the monster's death.
——A monster that was urgently bred by the dungeon, specifically to kill and cause large-scale damage to dungeon adventurers. Its lifespan is so short that not long after it escapes, the monster's lifespan ends.
To be honest, in Astraea's opinion, Liu was indeed impulsive because it was the first time he saw his companions die, and he caused trouble for his companions.
But she wasn't the only one who performed poorly against that monster.
But the other people who made mistakes died, and only Liu survived. In Liu's view, it was naturally her responsibility, and the sacrifice of her companions was all her fault.
When Astraea's family came to their senses and roughly knew the specific information of the monster, Liu was the only one intact in the family. The others either had broken hands or were blinded, and they all planned to sacrifice themselves to let Liu survive.
Ryu was terrified at the time, but he also chanted magic according to the battle plan. When he hit the monster, even the leader who stepped forward to fight the monster was covered by Ryu's magic, and not a single body was left - that was the original plan.
But the monster is not dead.
If Liu's magic killed the monster, then in Astraea's opinion, Liu had avenged his dead companions and his heart knot was mostly untied.
The monster escaped, but in Ryu's mind, she was considered to have survived by sacrificing her companions, whose bodies were even turned to ashes by her magic.
After the monster escaped from the magic, its lifespan was over and it died at the speed of light, leaving no chance for Liu to come back for revenge.
However, Liu saw the traces of sudden death, which were not destroyed by other monsters in the dungeon. Liu didn't even have the thought of revenge.
At that time, Astralia's heart was filled with grief and crazy questions.
Who is messing with me?
Dungeon? It's fine that the dungeon gave birth to monsters that messed with my clan, but my clan's poor performance in the battle couldn't have been caused by the dungeon's interference, right?
Some gods who are in charge of luck? Perhaps some gods can bypass the restrictions and exert their power in a small range, but the power of gods is ineffective against dungeons. The goddess of beauty can tempt monsters, but dungeons are immune. The power of gods and dungeons is opposite in nature, so they should not be able to interfere with each other.
No matter how Astraea thought about it, she felt something was wrong. The annihilation of her family was like the malice of the world. If there was even the slightest mistake in any of the steps, Liu would never be able to completely shut herself off.
Astriya thought for a long time about how to comfort Liu.
The first time you lost a companion, your performance was not good, but it was understandable? In the end, while you were afraid of the monster, didn’t you complete the battle plan? Now that you survived, why not take it easy?
Astraea felt that this was not comfort, but a mockery and an accusation.
The exaggeration of this incident lies in the fact that it is just right in every aspect.
It just so happened that the Astraea family could barely deal with the monster, it just so happened that Liu made a mistake in anger because of the death of his companion, it just so happened that only Liu himself survived, and it just so happened that the monster did not die in Liu's hands but died suddenly soon after.
Due to countless coincidences, Astraea, the main god, had no idea how to comfort Liu.
It wasn't Liu's fault? But it was indeed Liu's fault.
There was no way out? But the clan’s strength at that time did allow them to do something.
Survive and look to the future? But without companions to look to the future with, and without enemies to avenge, who can we look to the future with?
Is he seeking revenge on the dungeon? After training for a hundred years to reach level 10 or 20, he immediately destroyed the dungeon?
There's no way to convince Liu himself!
At that time, Liu went crazy and violated the rules of the guild. She took crazy revenge on the dark faction that destroyed the dungeon and caused monsters to be born in the dungeon. She not only killed her enemies, but also those who were just suspects, such as the merchants who sold supplies of the dark faction, and the union members who might be in collusion with the dark faction. She killed them regardless of the consequences.
With that opportunity, the member of the Goddess of Justice's family, Ryu Leon, who once saved the city, became a wanted criminal of the guild.
At that time, Astraea was expelled from Orario. Until she left, Astraea was extremely worried about what would happen to Liu, but she could not find any way to comfort Liu.
After returning to Orario this time, Astraea could not suppress her worry about Liu. Now that she saw him, her heart was even heavier and she said, "As expected."
——Ryu’s stone head is indeed still stuck in the past, worrying about himself.
Su Qing shrugged and couldn't help but say, "Actually, it's not that there is no angle to comfort Liu!"
"If I must say so, there is." Astraea said with a wry smile, "But that is not something the goddess of justice can say."
Su Qing nodded and said, "That's true. Anyway, the companions of the former clan have just returned to the heaven. Liu, don't worry about it. Live with your companions. After returning to the heaven, show your life to your companions - such words are indeed not something the goddess of justice can say."
"Besides, if she says this, her life will be completely bound." Astraea sighed, "She will continue to look forward to death, regardless of her own safety, and go to dangerous places one after another, and try her best to survive... I'm afraid she is really not far from death."
Su Qing shook her head slightly: "Are all of you justice people so weird?"
“…That’s too much.”
Her face was clearly full of smiles, but that smile revealed her dissatisfaction. Su Qing was a little surprised. Perhaps this was a skill that someone like Astraea, who was used to smiling, had developed over hundreds of millions of years?
Su Qing shrugged and said, "After all, you obviously care about Liu and do a lot for her in secret, but you never say it openly, right?"
"Before I left Orario, I asked Liu to give up the so-called justice." Astraea said: "...This is not much."
Su Qing asked: "Then why were you expelled from Orario?"
Astraea was startled.
"In Orario, the status of gods is very high. Adventurers are not allowed to attack gods, even if they have committed a serious crime of wanting to destroy Orario. Would such gods be expelled from Orario because their followers illegally attacked other followers?"
Su Qing shook his head slightly. How is that possible? He should know his own worth.
It is only natural that the Lord God's mistakes implicate the clan, but it is only natural that the clan's mistakes implicate the Lord God? Especially when it is confirmed that the clan is arbitrary?
The subordinates of a noble acted arbitrarily and killed the subordinates of other nobles. It would be fine to punish the subordinates, but should the nobles be made to bear the blame?
There is no such logic in Orario.
Su Qing shrugged and said, "At that time, the Astraea family had a good relationship with the Loki family, and you also had a decent relationship with Freya. Although Liu Duandai is gone, the wealth accumulated by the family before is not enough for you to survive in Orario? Not enough to recruit new family members? Let the family members with whom you have a good relationship help you train the newcomers?"
When city overlords like Zeus and Hera fall, other clans won't allow them to stay in Orario. When Astraea's clan falls, why is there no one to help?
The relationship between gods may be useless. Some gods will not help their friends, but let them experience the fun of building their own clan.
But the relationship between adventurers is not calculated in this way. Adventurers who are friendly with the Astralia family will provide certain help to the Astralia family in distress after the Astralia family is destroyed.
The relationship between human beings is formed through such interactions.
Astraea remained silent for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "...It's enough."
Su Qing shrugged and said, "Liu broke the rules set by the guild. You, the main god, were expelled from Orario. Liu was only wanted. This should not happen in this city built for the gods."
"But think about it the other way around. If you took the responsibility on behalf of Liu, and it's you who forced Liu to take revenge on the dark faction by any means necessary, then it makes sense that you were expelled from Orario. Liu was clearly wanted, but the guild only put up a bounty without any follow-up measures and did not entrust it to a family capable of hunting him down. "
Hearing this, Astraea showed an expression other than a smile for the first time on her face. She pouted and gritted her teeth and said, "But, that idiot Liu didn't realize it at all!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Astraea was also a little upset.
When she discovered that her family member had psychological problems, due to the various coincidences of that incident, Astraea couldn't find a suitable angle to persuade Ryu.
After some thought, I could only resort to the stupid method.
Even though our clan has been wiped out, Liu, you still have me, your main god!
But Liu was already insane at the time, and she only thought about revenge, and even had self-destructive tendencies. It was obviously impossible to touch her heart with words alone.
Then, Astraea had an idea.
If Liu doesn't listen to just words, then can't she take actual action?
Astraea did not stop Liu's revenge, nor could she stop him. As the main god, the most she could do was threaten him by saying "If you don't obey me, I will not renew your favor."
This was equivalent to sentencing an adventurer to an end, but Liu was so focused on atonement that he even had some self-destructive tendencies.
Liu's life was saved by her companions. Liu would not commit suicide, but at that time she was very eager to atone for her sins and it would be best if she could die together with the enemy.
If you don’t care about your life, who would worry about the future?
Soon after Liu returned to the ground and left her, Astraea went to Uranus to surrender herself, saying that she had ordered Liu to take revenge on the dark faction.
No one would believe her. In the eyes of most gods, her character as the goddess of justice is trustworthy.
But it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. She has taken the initiative to atone for her crime, so there won’t be any blind people questioning her.
According to Astraea, no matter how deep the relationship between Liu and his former family was, the past was the past, and she, the main god, was still alive.
Liu, you took revenge on the dark faction, and I, Astraea, took the blame for you and was driven out of Orario - after your revenge, Liu, you should have finally come to your senses, right?
Don't dwell on the past. Think about what I have done for you, think about how I have taken care of you in the past, and think about the price I paid to exonerate you.
Although Liu has become a wanted criminal, does that matter? It's not like the wanted order can't be revoked. Aren't there many Familiars in Orarie who have committed crimes?
Uranus himself is not clean.
Besides, Liu knew the inside story of Orario. Liu had experienced the disaster when you were killed, and he knew clearly that the times called for heroes, and the promised day of the gods and the dungeon was approaching.
Back then, when Alfia came to Orario with her sick and dying body to test the new generation of heroes and to risk her life to bring experience and great deeds to the new generation, it was not like you weren't there, Liu.
During this critical period, as long as they have upgraded to lv5lv6, can the mistake made by Astraea's family be considered a mistake?
Astraea was full of confidence and felt that she had planned well.
After Liu's revenge, he felt liberated and began to think about the value of the rest of his life. Then he discovered that there was a gentle and kind god like her who silently dedicated herself to Liu.
So Liu came to his senses, that the past can never be undone, and after shouldering all that has happened in the past, one must look forward.
She helped Liu take the blame while Liu was leveling up in the dungeon. Occasionally, she would go to the place where she was exiled to see her and help her upgrade her attributes. When Liu was upgraded to at least level 5, she would make amends for her crime and complete certain tasks assigned by Uranus, and then she would take her back to Orario.
Astraea felt that she had thought it through carefully enough.
She has negotiated terms with Uranus and entrusted Freya to take care of Liu. Even though there are many hidden talents in Orario, with these two taking care of her, what could possibly happen to Liu?
It can't be!
But others always make mistakes at the critical moment of the plan, but she is different.
Hey, she was planning something that could go wrong at the first step.
