Angel looked on in terror at the rows of "pass" votes, at the almost certain outcome. She had no idea what she could do or how she could escape with her life.
"Unanimously approved, the sentence of Angel is hereby formally announced: death penalty, to be carried out immediately!"
After the vote ended, Jura Rekis announced the final verdict directly.
Upon hearing this result, Angel's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
She knew it was inevitable, but when the verdict was finally handed down, she was still overwhelmed by fear.
Looking at Angel, who looked pitiful and was crying with tears streaming down her face, no one in the judge's seat felt a shred of sympathy for this young girl who was clearly in the prime of her life.
After all, Angel's sins were all true, and there was even a victim named Hibiki Rettis. Under these circumstances, no one really had the "saintly heart" to try to save Angel.
Seeing this, Mo En thought that everyone was quite sensible, and no "brainless villains" jumped out at this time to show their "kindness and saintly heart".
Angel, who was under control, was taken away immediately. Although it was said to be "executed immediately," it wasn't that he was dragged away and beheaded right away.
We should wait until this major verdict is finalized before carrying out the executions in a unified manner; otherwise, it would be a bit ridiculous to just sentence one person and then drag them out and behead them.
Immediately afterwards, "Poison Dragon" Cobra was pulled out. This "Dragon Slayer Mage," who had always been incredibly arrogant, looked rather grim. His gaze swept across everyone in the hall before finally settling on Moen's face, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Where is Chuberios?!"
Upon arriving at the main venue, Kebra's reaction differed from that of the others.
Instead of begging for mercy or despairing, Kebra shouted at Moen.
The first thing he did upon seeing Moen was to ask about the large purple snake.
Putting everything else aside, Kobra is indeed a very responsible owner, and he has a really good relationship with that big purple snake.
"Chuberios? Oh, that big purple snake, she's been rescued."
Kobra's words startled Moen. He hadn't paid much attention to the matter of the giant purple snake.
On the contrary, it was his own father, Makarov, who was very concerned about this. Old Master Makarov immediately saw that there was something wrong with the big purple snake.
It must be said that Makarov's research into magic was indeed incredibly profound.
The old man is not only proficient in many types of magic, but he can also spot many evil spells at a glance and find ways to deal with them. Calling him a "professor of magic" is perfectly acceptable.
Upon seeing the large purple snake, Chuberios, old man Makarov immediately realized that Chuberios was not a "purebred snake".
Then, after controlling the large purple snake, old man Makarov actually found the problem and solved it.
He transformed the giant purple snake into a young girl, a girl who had lost her memory. She had no recollection of her time as a snake; she had been transformed into that form by magic.
Now, there are some disagreements within Fairy Tail regarding how to deal with this "snake girl," with two factions divided.
This "snake girl" is extremely unlucky. She was turned into a large purple snake when she was young, and she has no memory of what happened after she became a snake. Her memories are still stuck more than ten years ago.
Although she now has the appearance of a young girl, she still has the personality of a child, which really makes people unsure how to deal with her.
According to Moen's thinking, "He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment."
Like Jellal, he too was bewitched and committed those sins. With the intervention of Fairy Tail, the Magic Council did not execute him, but it did not grant him freedom either. He still had to pay the price for those sins.
This was also Gerald's own thought; he had those memories, acknowledged those sins, and repented for them.
The problem lies here: this "snake girl" herself has no memory of those things, and she doesn't understand what she has done.
When she was "Great Purple Serpent," she partnered with Kebra and naturally committed many evil deeds, possibly killing many people. These are undoubtedly her sins, and it is impossible for her to be innocent.
The situation of "Snake Girl" is very similar to that of Gerald. Gerald has already been sentenced, so there is no reason to let "Snake Girl" off the hook.
Mohn advocated for equal treatment, which was also fair to Gerald. There should be no discrimination; otherwise, the previous verdict would not have been convincing.
However, many people in the guild held different opinions. They felt that after the "Snake Girl" turned into a snake, she was no longer human and acted entirely according to the habits of snakes. She had nothing to do with the "Snake Girl" and was a different kind of creature.
It's normal for a snake to do those things under the guidance and command of its master, Kebra. Now that the "Great Purple Serpent" will no longer appear, it's as if it's dead. From now on, only this girl will live in the world, and the girl named "Ginana" is completely innocent.
Moen felt this explanation was a bit off, because Gerald's situation could also be explained using this explanation. The Gerald who did those things was already dead, and the normal Gerald now had nothing to do with the Gerald who was being controlled.
In response, another school of thought has put forward a new perspective.
"Gerald possesses those memories," therefore he cannot sever ties with his past sins, while Ginana has none of those memories, thus she can be separated from them. Because she has no memories, it proves that the previous "Great Purple Serpent" is dead.
This idea still doesn't gain Moen's approval, because what if Ginana regains her memories? Would she then become guilty again? What about the freedom she's enjoyed all these years?
Moen has temporarily set aside these disputes, intending to bring them to today's trial, where they will be one of the topics for everyone to judge.
After all, Chuberios can also be considered a member of the "Oración Seis", and her fate should not be entirely decided by the people of "Fairy Tail". A public trial would definitely be more reasonable.
"Don't hurt Chuberios!"
"Kbra shouted, his emotions running high, his eyes fixed on Moen, waiting for Moen's reply."
Seeing this, Moen's expression was strange. If Kebra knew that Chuberios was actually a beautiful girl and not a big purple snake, what would his reaction be?
Would you be even more excited? Do you want to become a "grassroots person"?
"The possibility is quite high."
Moen thought to himself that if someone's cat turned into a beautiful catgirl, he would probably be very excited and want a "straw hat".
"Don't worry, at least she won't die."
Shaking off the random thoughts in his mind, Moen answered Kebra.
That's true. Regardless of whether Gina is ultimately sentenced, she certainly won't be sentenced to death. Given Gerald's example, that's already a foregone conclusion.

""
After hearing Moen's words, Kebra quieted down. Moen's words still carried a lot of weight with him. After all, in Kebra's mind, Moen, who was so powerful, must be the one in charge and whose words were the most effective.
That's not entirely wrong. Moen's words do carry a lot of weight. He has now made a decision about the matter of Chuberios. When everyone discusses it later, everyone should consider this point and make their own decisions based on this.
After all, nobody wants to cause trouble with Moen over something like this. Besides, there's precedent for this; Gerald is sitting in the witness stand right there.
"Unanimously approved, the sentence of Kebula is hereby formally announced: death penalty, to be carried out immediately!"
The "vote" proceeded very quickly, and "Poison Dragon" Cobra was sentenced to death. After receiving Moen's assurance, Cobra stopped causing trouble and confessed to all his crimes, including those involving "Ginana".
Kebula took full responsibility, shouldering all the blame and refusing to mention Ginana's role in the whole affair.
As Ginana's owner, Kebra's approach was quite effective. He successfully helped Ginana share the blame, since Ginana had always followed Kebra, and her guilt was entirely related to what Kebra had done.
This is also one of the reasons why the faction in the Fairy Tail guild supports a lenient sentence or even acquittal. Jinana's actions were entirely at the behest of her master, Cobra. She had no self-awareness and could only act on her snake instincts, just like a sharp blade in Cobra's hand.
How can you convict someone of a crime just because they have a knife?
Kobra was pulled down, and then Hote appeared, standing straight with a heroic look of never bowing his head.
"This guy...."
Looking at Hotai, Moen thought of what Erza had told him before.
Looking at his face, with its blocky, almost identical features, one can basically conclude that he is Woolley Buchanan's brother; the two are remarkably alike.
Indeed, it is true that Walter is Woolley Buchanan's older brother, the older brother Woolley Buchanan has been searching for.
As Woolley Buchanan's former close companion, Erza naturally recognized him and told Moen the news.
It wasn't to get Moen to let Hoteie go; Erza wasn't that kind of person. She just wanted to ask Moen to tell Hoteie some news about his brother, Woolley Buchanan.
"Unanimously approved, the sentence of He Te'ai is hereby formally announced: death penalty, to be carried out immediately!"
The verdict against Hotei was also quickly concluded. None of these generals of the "Six Demon Generals" were innocent or guilty, so the verdict was naturally swift.
"Hoteai, your brother has been saved. He is now traveling the world with his companions who were freed from the Tower of Paradise. He may also be looking for you, his older brother. Is there anything you want to say to him? I can pass it on to you."
Since it was Erza's request, Moen naturally wouldn't neglect it, and he immediately spoke up after the verdict was handed down.
The reason for speaking after the verdict is that Moen was afraid of influencing other people's judgments; his influence is indeed too great.
If Moen makes a series of moves that make everyone think he's hinting at something, and then manages to revive Hotai, that would be hilarious.

'
Heteai, who had been standing tall and facing death with composure, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Moen's words. He leaned forward and looked in Moen's direction.
"Is it...really?!"
Hete's face was filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Moen, hoping to get a positive answer from him.
"Of course, why would I lie to a dying man like you?"
Moen nodded and relayed a message to Hote. He didn't mind this kind of thing. In fact, if Woolley Buchanan could be found in a short time, the brothers could have met. But things are unpredictable, and perhaps this is the best arrangement.
"Would you like to... say a word?"
After the initial excitement, Heteai fell into a deep thought.
"Forget it, don't tell him my identity. Even if he just keeps searching like this, it's better than him knowing everything I've done."
After some thought, Heteai made a choice. He didn't want his younger brother to get involved with him. Since his brother was already living a normal life, he should stay away from the troubles and grudges related to him.
"Okay, as you wish."
Moen nodded and didn't say anything more.
"...Thanks."
Heteai paused for a moment, then instantly understood. The reason Moen hadn't mentioned his brother's name was that he didn't want to expose his brother's identity, which would attract the attention of those who had grudges against him. This was also a kind of reminder to him.
For this, Hote naturally expressed his gratitude, but Moen simply nodded. He did this not for Hote's sake, but simply because he didn't want to cause trouble for Erza's former friends.
If Woolley Buchanan is killed by Hotai's enemies, Erza will definitely be heartbroken and will want to avenge him, which will cause a lot of trouble.
Although Moen's "foresight" doesn't allow him to see that far into the future, just thinking about it already makes him feel troubled.
It can only be said that the relationships between these people are extremely complicated, and they are all entangled with each other. The "Tower of Paradise" is to blame.
Dejected but relieved, Hotei was taken away, followed by Lisa, who was also sentenced to death without a doubt. He was taken away after a mere formality.
Next, naturally, came the "main event" of the trial: Brian, the creator of the "Oracles" and known as the "Head," the former director of the "Magic Development Bureau," and also the destroyer known as "Nothing," was finally brought to the dock.
Of course, Brian looked rather disheveled. He was badly injured and almost died on the spot, and was only saved with great difficulty.
Brian is now finding it difficult to even appear in court; he had to be carried in on a gurney. This once arrogant "Head of the Six Lords" probably never imagined he would end up like this.
