DD2-Chapter 322: An Ugly Scene! Shrek and Huo Yuhao Keep Making Excuses for Themselves!
At this moment, in the gap between the planes, the condemnation and outrage directed at Huo Yuhao by a group of soul masters intensified. As mentioned before, the Mingdu explosion brought suffering to countless families!
Who knows how many spectators who originally went to Mingdu to watch the game died inexplicably in that explosion? Among these spectators were some natives of the Sun Moon Empire and others from the Douluo Three Kingdoms who came to see the match; regardless of their origins, they all tragically lost their lives in that explosion!
After learning that the culprits behind it all were Shrek Academy and Huo Yuhao, accumulated public anger could no longer be contained.
Regardless of whether Huo Yuhao and Shrek intended to cause harm, they had inflicted indelible damage.
It was entirely normal for the soul masters in the gap between the planes to denounce Huo Yuhao and Shrek at this moment. Thus, Shrek Academy and Huo Yuhao faced severe backlash.
Even those who had previously held a good impression of Huo Yuhao and Shrek now stood up to express their positions on this matter.
Jing Hongchen: "I didn't expect that this was perpetrated by Huo Yuhao and Shrek on our side. On behalf of our Sun Moon Imperial Academy, I will make our stance clear: from today onward, our Sun Moon Royal Academy will fight to the death against Shrek Academy and Huo Yuhao!"
Sun Moon Emperor: "This aligns with my thoughts!"
"Shrek Academy has caused enormous losses to our nation and harmed countless individuals. After this incident is resolved, I expect to see a reasonable explanation from Shrek Academy."
"Otherwise, we will go to war!"
Xu Jiawei: "Shrek Academy must provide everyone with an explanation regarding this matter."
In light of such a significant issue, not a single person stood by Shrek Academy or Huo Yuhao.
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong spoke even more bluntly.
Bibi Dong: "I couldn't believe that Huo Yuhao in the original timeline appeared so well-behaved. However, he shows no moral compass when acting."
"His behavior is worse than Tang San's destruction of Slaughter City."
Qian Renxue: "Indeed. While Tang San massacred in Slaughter City, he at least targeted the villains."
"But Huo Yuhao in the original timeline caused countless civilian deaths in the explosion he initiated."
"This sin can never be erased."
Both Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had lost their favorable opinion of Huo Yuhao.
In truth, they never held Huo Yuhao from the original timeline in high regard.
They preferred the version of Huo Yuhao from the parallel world.
Thus, they voiced their opinions once more.
Qian Renxue: "I never expected that, in the end, Huo Yuhao from the parallel world had a stronger moral foundation."
"Unlike Huo Yuhao from the original timeline, who claims to be virtuous yet lacks conviction, the Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is decisive when confronting enemies."
"But he has a clear moral code in his actions."
"Even in seeking revenge, he never implicates innocent people."
"Let's consider something recent."
"If he wants to kill Ye Xishui and the others, he ensures to lead them to a location that won't affect others before acting."
"He could easily choose otherwise, but he adheres to his principles, which I respect greatly."
Qian Renxue expressed her views, and Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.
They continued to watch the screen, but what they didn't expect was to see another scene from the original timeline play out.
[After learning that they had made a monumental error, the people of Shrek Academy did not choose to atone for their sins or confess their crimes to the world.]
[Their first reaction was to conceal the situation.]
[But that's not all.]
[The most outrageous thing is that they chose to rationalize their actions afterward.]
[Continuously making excuses for their choices!]
[At this moment, Huo Yuhao on the screen stated: "We didn't foresee that this matter would conclude like this. I located the underground warehouse while tracking it through spiritual detection."]
["Today, I took a huge risk, but still proceeded with this."]
["The main reason was that I sought to obtain enough rare metals to promote the future development of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Simultaneously, I wanted to inflict enough losses on the Sun Moon Empire so they would be unable to initiate war."]
["It's undeniable that my miscalculation led to this result, but let's consider: if these explosives, along with the soul guidance devices and fixed soul guidance shells I detonated, had been used in warfare, how many casualties would that have caused?"]
["Therefore, I don't believe I did anything wrong. If given another chance, I would choose the same path again. Because everything I did was entirely for the Douluo Continent."]
[After Huo Yuhao spoke, the remaining Shrek Seven Devils also stood up to support him.]
[What's even more outrageous is that Xuan Zi, an elder of Shrek Academy, chose to protect his shortcomings in the face of this monumental issue!]
[He claimed they would not delve into the matter, insisting that today's events must remain hidden from everyone.]
[And then they simply retreated after that?]
After witnessing this scene, the soul masters in the planes' gap were once again enraged.
Huo Yuhao and the Shrek members had committed an unforgivable mistake, which already infuriated them.
But the most infuriating aspect was their continued self-justification!
They tried to paint a pretty picture!
These explosions were supposedly intended to prevent war. But why did they wish to avert war?
Weren't they afraid that innocent civilians would be harmed during conflicts?
What results have they achieved now?
They directly caused the deaths of millions!
In the eyes of many soul masters in the planes' gap, it would have been preferable to go to war!
At least in that scenario, they wouldn't die without explanation.
Consequently, the condemnation of Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy in the planes' gap grew more and more intense.
Meanwhile, the picture on the screen continued to play.
At this point, the soul masters in the gap had lost all interest in watching.
Yet suddenly, they recognized a scene on the screen that seemed familiar.
They couldn't help but look again, and then one soul master finally noticed the connection.
"Wait, isn't this the place where Huo Yuhao in the parallel world trapped Ye Xishui and the others before?"
"Huo Yuhao from the original timeline has also come here? What a coincidence?"
"Moreover, the direction they're headed now seems to be the same as where Ye Xishui and the others fled from previously..."
