Chapter 331 No Wonder They Say History is Written by the Victors
[This appearance of Baron Island might be an opportunity. Although the current world seems calm on the surface, if nothing unexpected happens, there are actually turbulent undercurrents beneath. Besides the Restoration Society, this world is not lacking in various evil organizations. I might as well take this opportunity to draw out all those organizations.]
[Also, I must solemnly state again here: I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely am not targeting Ayanokoji Kiyotaka out of a desire for revenge. After all, if I wanted to target Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, then none of the others would escape either, like Yukihira Soma, Kurokiba Ryo, Shirogane Miyuki, and Hikigaya Hachiman, and so on.]
[The unlucky things that happened to those people mentioned above have nothing to do with me. I, Yagami Hakuto, am not the kind of person who gets jealous easily. Yes, that's exactly it.]
Diary copy holders: Look at us, do we believe it or not?
However, Hakuto's behavior gave the diary copy holders another new understanding. Previously, these diary copy holders had been accustomed to Hakuto's attitude of treating human life like grass.
Now, knowing that Hakuto also had this side to him, their impression of him changed greatly.
[Ahem, ahem, ahem. These are all unimportant little matters. I believe that even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything about me. For now, I need to focus on the important matters!]
Hakuto withdrew his thoughts and looked at Yakumo Yukari beside him. "First, throw in some death row prisoners to explore this island."
"The gap can't open directly onto the island."
"Then open it as close as you can. You should be able to easily do this, right?"
Yakumo Yukari shrugged, then waved her hand. Instantly, a large group of people fell from the sky into the sea. These people, caught off guard, swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater before noticing the distant island and tried every means possible to swim toward it.
As for those who couldn't swim, Yakumo Yukari kindly found some pieces of wood for them to hold onto as they drifted toward the island.
Hakuto and Yakumo Yukari's eyesight naturally allowed them to clearly see what happened to these people after they reached the island.
Soon, the expressions of Hakuto and Yakumo Yukari became somewhat unpleasant.
Not long after those people landed on the island, they died because of various creatures, and they died miserably.
"Good thing we didn't rashly go up there. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have fared much better than these people."
"So what do we do now?"
Yakumo Yukari frowned slightly. If all these people died, should they continue exploring? This island was like a bottomless pit. No one knew how many lives would need to be sacrificed to fill it.
Hakuto, however, looked at Yakumo Yukari with surprise. "Since when did the Sage of Youkai, Yakumo Yukari, become so soft-hearted? This isn't like you."
"You mean to use lives to fill it?"
Yakumo Yukari looked at Hakuto in disbelief. Earlier, Yakumo Yukari had thought Hakuto had reformed, but who could have known he hadn't reformed at all? He had just hidden it. This guy still didn't value human life at all.
[What's going on, what's going on? What's up with Yakumo Yukari now? Since when did the Sage of Youkai become so soft-hearted? It's only a matter of some people dying. Since when did the Sage of Youkai become so soft-hearted?]
Diary copy holders: We thought this guy was no longer treating human life like grass, but it turns out we were naive. This guy hasn't changed at all. He still doesn't treat people as people, doesn't treat human lives as human lives.
[They're just some death row prisoners. Using their insignificant lives to contribute to this world is the last use they have. Yet Yakumo Yukari actually asked me if I was going to use lives to fill it? The dignified Sage of Youkai has become so soft-hearted. Simply ridiculous.]
Yakumo Yukari: You need to speak clearly. I thought you were going to use ordinary people's lives to fill it.
Diary copy holders: It seems Hakuto has truly reformed. We misunderstood Hakuto.
[First, use those death row prisoners as consumables. After the death row prisoners are used up, then use those serving life sentences. After the life sentence prisoners are used up, gradually use those convicted of crimes as consumables according to the severity of their offenses. After all, this world never lacks criminals.]
[Also, those gangsters living in this world just waste air. Speaking of which, back then I killed so many gangsters that I nearly drove them to extinction, nearly one billion of them. Almost every piece of land in the continent has the bodies of them buried underground. Yet now, this world still has so many of them. Isn't this a bit too rapid reproduction?]
Diary copy holders: How much do you hate those people? And isn't the history book a bit too exaggerated? You killed one billion people alone, yet in the history book you only recorded one hundred million. No wonder they say history is written by the victors. Wait, could it be that you don't consider those guys as people, so killing them doesn't count as killing people?
'How exactly did those people offend Hakuto? Not just the current Hakuto, but even Emperor Shengzong found those tools utterly repulsive?'
"You first throw all those death row prisoners in, one hundred people per batch, to see if any of these death row prisoners are lucky."
Soon, another batch of one hundred death row prisoners was dropped onto the sea surface not far from the island.
This time, Hakuto and Yakumo Yukari observed that these people had different physical conditions and survived for different lengths of time. One of them, who had apparently received training, barely managed to survive on the island.
"It seems that apart from supernatural powers being unusable, individual physical differences on that island are not eliminated?"
Hakuto's current physical strength was absolutely unquestionable. He often ate Century Soup and Jewel Meat, so his physical condition had naturally improved.
Therefore, if it was just about physical condition, Hakuto had absolute confidence.
His physical condition should have reached the peak of human capability. Entering Baron Island probably wouldn't be dangerous for him.
"Save it. Don't even think about taking risks."
Seeing Hakuto's expression, how could Yakumo Yukari not guess what he was thinking?
