Chapter 112: Starting Another Venom Jar

"Alright, now what do we do with the people who break these laws…? I suggest we build a prison,"

"I don't think the ones who committed lower-ranked crimes should go to prison. Of course, they should be punished but I think public lewdness doesn't deserve prison time," Aika says. 

We were silent for about 2 minutes until Treyni spoke up. 

"If I may suggest, I think we should maybe mark them with something which hinders what they can do in the kingdom. Like maybe a tattoo or mark on them that shows that they have done something bad in the past," 

Ah, so like one of those slave marks where they burn an insignia into the skin. I guess we could do that... 

Also, I think public lewdness and petty thievery don't deserve even that, we could still use that idea but maybe we could just give a warning, and then if you get three warnings, you get a mark. 

"Let's go with that-"

"Mama," I hear a tiny voice say from one of the hallways. 

Everybody turns their head and sees Hades standing next to a maid with him grabbing her dress with his tiny hands. It was a cute sight to see but I immediately signaled for the maid to take him away. 

"Mama?" Hades called out again as he walked away.

*sigh*

"Bring him here," I ordered. 

"As you wish," the maid replies. 

The maid doesn't step into the actual throne room but Hades runs towards me and jumps into my lap. I was forced to sit back, so I proceeded with the meeting, stroking my child's black and white hair. 

"This is Hades, my son. Once he grows big enough, he'll be going to school so I hope you take care of him," 

I could tell what my leaders wanted to do, they just wanted to squeeze his cheeks since he was so cute… besides Akito. It looks like he doesn't really like children which I don't mind since Hades won't be a child for long. 

"Alright, let's continue with the meeting. For the ones that commit pretty heavy crimes, they'll go to prison which I want Akio to build since I believe you have nothing else to do. For the ones who commit light crimes such as disturbing the peace or public lewdness, they'll get three warnings. 

If they continue to be an idiot and eventually get the three strikes/warnings, we'll mark them with a design that I want Aimi to come up with. We'll use the same slave branding technique where you heat an iron stick with the insignia at the end and place it on, let's say… their cheek.

It's in a place they can't hide unless they use a mask or bandana. Of course with that on, they'll look suspicious, so either way, they'll be found out," I explain. 

"What happens if they continue to do bad things even with the mark?" Akito asks. 

"Kill them. They don't get the mercy of going to prison, just kill them on the spot or kill them in front of a crowd. They'll learn their lesson in the afterlife," I say coldly. 

The leaders all nod their heads in confirmation. 

Hades was below me, trying to reach his tiny hand towards my cheek but I was too high up for him. 

"Oh yeah, I lost my scythe in my previous battle. Aiso, do you think you can make me a new scythe that's even better and stronger. Also, don't add shark teeth to them, it makes it hard for me to spin the scythe around my limbs," 

"As you wish," Aiso says, standing up, bowing, and then sitting back down.

"Now that all the important stuff is out of the way, I'll say this now, but during my last battle, I fought against the fifth mountain guardian. I was going to fight the dragon mountain guardian but the fifth mountain guardian already killed it. 

I wanted the corpse of the dragon but I also thought that I needed to kill her now since she was the original user of the death stone and if she evolved with it, she'd be unstoppable. Eventually, I was able to kill her but then I got my real injuries from a test with my skill [Mind Magic].

I had to either come to terms with my inner demons or conquer them… and as you can see, I conquered them instead of coming to terms with them," I say.

"So your inner demons did this to you? What did they look like?" Homura asks. 

"It was me but she thought of ways to use my skills that I never thought of before. The battle helped me improve greatly but I could tell we weren't getting anywhere by just clashing so I went all out and I killed her but I ended up losing my arm and part of my leg," I say. 

The leaders all looked at me with respect… besides Aika. It looks like she wasn't happy that I was talking about killing around Hades. 

"Well, let's end this meeting here," I say, summoning my wolf which I then climb on.

The wolf walks towards Aika which I then give Hades who reached out his little arms towards her.

"ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!" The leaders shout as I exit the room.

… 

I was currently checking my status while the rest of the slaves entered the venom jar below me. I kept scanning my status to try and find what could help me regrow my limbs, but in the end, I only had one idea that didn't work at all. 

It was to summon Raiu and then try to eat it. It might be the fire of death now, but it was the fire of life before, so it might give me [Ichimei]. At the very least it would give me [Amaterasu] back, but when I chomped down on my blade I felt the flames enter my mouth, and… nothing happened. When I swallowed the black flames… nothing happened so I could only sigh in disappointment.

As I continued to sit down on my makeshift stone throne, I looked down at the broken slaves below. They probably didn't know what was happening but some even had smiles showing that they might have the chance to die.

Some had even dropped the daggers that my maids gave them since all they wanted to do was die. 

After about 10 more minutes of waiting, all the slaves had finally entered the venom jar. They were so tightly packed that they couldn't even lift their arms. The ones who retained some sanity during their time as a slave looked to be going insane by how they couldn't move much. 

I also saw that some slaves had already committed suicide with the daggers we gave them, so we were left with about 190 participants left. 

"Yin, when the headcount reaches 25, stop them with [Grand Shadow Magic]," I say to Yin who is standing right next to me as if she was my retainer or something.

"As you wish," 

"NOW YOU SLAVES DOWN THERE! I WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE AT LIFE! KILL THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU, ACROSS FROM YOU, BEHIND YOU! THE LAST 25 WILL JOIN MY PERSONAL SPECIAL CORPS! IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS AND MY TRAINING, YOU'LL BE REBORN WITHIN MY KINGDOM… NOW! GO KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"
