Everyone has to die one day.

The death penalty is a ceremony that brings a solemn end to death.

Among all forms of death penalty, hanging is the most glorious.

Odin once hung himself upside down under the World Tree.

Odin's mortal warriors would hang the corpses of their enemies upside down on trees. It is said that this is the origin of hanging.

In the old era, there once stood on the earth an ancient empire that believed in Odin. When a warrior came to the end of his life, he would hang himself upside down on a tree for seven days and seven nights to perform self-sacrifice.

It is said that when a brave and fearless warrior has experienced countless life and death battles, he will perform self-sacrifice rituals and undergo extremely painful torture. Even legendary warriors will find it difficult to endure the torture of Odin's divine power.

And once they pass this bloody and cruel sacrificial ceremony, they will receive Odin's gift.

Odin will grant them death.

and eternal glory after death.

Odin and Hela are both gods of death.

But Odin picked first.

The warrior with the strongest body, the strongest will, the best skills, and the noblest soul belongs to Odin.

The rest went to Hella.

It is said that the ritual of self-sacrifice is the direct way to the Hall of Valor.

As time went by, this theory gradually became that people who died by hanging would see Odin himself before their souls returned to the underworld.

And if the soul of the deceased is good enough, it may even have a chance to be appreciated by Odin. If it can pass the rigorous test, it may even be lucky enough to become a great heroic spirit fighting for the gods.

It is precisely for this reason that hanging is widely promoted, because even those in power may one day end up being guillotined by everyone.

They also hope that what is in front of them at that time is not a sharp blade, but a thick hemp rope that may lead them to see the gods.

With the development of time, Odin's story no longer spreads on the earth.

People are gradually replacing hanging with more efficient killing methods to end the lives of prisoners, but some of the meanings of hanging are still retained.

For very important prisoners, some countries will also publicly hang them. Sometimes it is to comfort the people and let them know that the heinous criminals are really dead. Sometimes it is to restore credibility and tell people that even noble lords are dead.

must be legally bound.

Of course, the person on the gallows could never be a powerful nobleman.

Other times it's just a matter of finding a reason to gather everyone together.

Hala and Spade Boss were convinced that by the time the hanging was carried out, the entire square would be crowded with people. They had been bored for so long that both metal and bones would rust.

This is a good thing for them because it means they have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

But this is not a bad thing for clown queens, because it means they are more likely to appear and crush them to death.

The Spade boss’s entire body is hidden under his robe:

"The Joker will not appear at the execution ground. If she is there, we will not have any chance to rescue Peloris. Even if you can turn into a serpent, you will not be able to stop her. It will even be difficult for you to escape.

"But if she really leaves the palace, it may not be a bad thing. As long as she leaves for a moment, the Queen of Hearts can get back some of the power that originally belonged to her."

Hora:

"So our only enemy is the Duke of Spades?"

The spade boss shook his head:

"There is also the Clown Army. Even if you become a Serpent, they will not have the slightest fear in the face of such an oppressive and terrifying monster. They will be like irrational puppets and will flood everything with a sea of ​​people without fear of death. By then,

The whole square will sink."

Ha La suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, isn't there a Diamond Knight? Is he also a rebel?"

The spade boss was silent for a moment.

The man looked sad:

"The premise for the establishment of the resistance is that we took out the capital. The clown is not a fool. Before she stole the power, she had already planned to kill us all. The moment the theft was successful, she was the strongest in the Poker Kingdom——

The Queen of Hearts is at her weakest.

"The king and queen succeeded in escaping in the end, and the Knight of Diamonds died.

"The Joker is a smart person, and she is well aware of the ugliness of human nature, so she still missed it because she couldn't imagine that there are such good people in the world.

"She lacks imagination for kindness."

Ha La didn't say much. No matter how she tried to comfort the Spade boss, it couldn't really alleviate his pain.

"So our opponents are mainly the Duke of Spades and the Clown Fish Army. How strong is the Duke? Is this time enough for him to fully recover?"

The spade boss said:

"Logically speaking, he should still be in a very embarrassing situation now, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Joker completely banished the Duke of Spades' curse and injuries.

"So we have to prepare for the worst. What we will face is a powerful legend. Although not as good as the Queen and the Joker, he is also a pioneer knight who followed the Undead Emperor thousands of years ago to conquer all directions.

"I don't know if these years of peaceful life will make him weak or strong, but the Clown Queen has indeed changed him, twisting a respectable knight into a minion of the devil.

"Before his fall, he was not afraid of death, and now our enemy is a powerful legend who is not afraid of death and has no bottom line.

"But having said that, if the Sky Serpent you transformed is really as powerful as I have heard, even if it has not yet reached the level of legend, you are not without the ability to deal with it.

"This kind of creature itself is more terrifying than the legend. I really can't imagine why this kind of creature can exist in this world. This monster itself is simply...

"blasphemous."

The spade boss continued:

"At least when you become a Serpent, he cannot defeat or imprison you, but five minutes is still too little. We must take him by surprise and move Peloris within this time.

"Our advantage is that they don't know that Serpentis is you, let alone that Serpentis will come to save Peloris.

"We can make them think that if they really prepare an ambush, they will never use it to deal with a monster that suddenly appears, because from their perspective, you cannot appear for Peloris.

"The Duke of Spades can't recognize you as a Serpent, and it's even more impossible for the Joker, so you are the embodiment of the will of the wasteland of death, looking for food in the Poker Kingdom.

"And if someone really comes to rescue Peloris, they will most likely take this opportunity to take action, so their ambush will stay put and wait for us to appear.

"The Duke of Spades will prevent you from destroying the clown's property. At this time, Peloris will have many shackles that limit her power, as well as a group of clown army members who are eyeing her."

Hara took it:

"And I will accidentally destroy the shackles on Peloris during the fight with the Duke of Spades."

The spade boss nodded:

"At the same time, you will stop the Duke of Spades, and I will appear and run away with Peloris, while you will maintain your identity as the incarnation of the Death Wasteland, pretending to be afraid of being beaten.

"It all happens in five minutes."

above the two.

above all others.
