The responsibility of accepting, reorganizing, and managing the Galle Empire was handed over to Empress Mille and Old King Norn by Rody.

He led the elite squad and soldiers of the seven races, escorting nearly a hundred thousand Demon soldiers, slowly returning to Rody City. Due to the miraculous boy Rody's fame, nearly a third of the Demon soldiers decided to become Rody’s slave army, participating in the Hell expedition to redeem themselves through military achievements. However, more Demon soldiers and Centaurs chose to pay ransom and serve hard labor to atone for their crimes, voluntarily exiling themselves to the 'Exiled Land', never to return to the human world.

The human rebel soldiers from Galle and Redlands were slightly more fortunate than the Demons and Centaurs.

Except for some high-ranking officers, most soldiers were sentenced to ten years or less of hard labor. Many could reduce their sentences and earn basic wages by building the 'Road of Friendship' in the 'Eternal Land', previously known as the Land of Evil, connecting it to the beastmen territories.

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were escorted in batches to Sanctuary, where under Marshal Vondesman's supervision, they were assigned to road and bridge construction.

The generals and high-ranking officers responsible for the chaos, however, were not so lucky. They awaited not redemption, but severe trials.

Rody announced the preparatory plan for the expedition, selecting elites from volunteers across various nations within a month, registering and testing them. Those who qualified joined Rody City's soldiers for three months of rigorous training. Anyone failing to meet the standards during training could be eliminated again, while reserve candidates showing rapid improvement could regain their eligibility.

In the fifth month, all ready soldiers would swear to embark on the Hell expedition.

Soldiers unable to pass training could join the logistics corps, responsible for rear support, transportation, and battlefield cleanup.

While Rody City was bustling with rebuilding, recruitment, testing, training, trade, and road construction, people in the rear, after long discussions, finally decided on the committee and jury for the trial of the human rebels' ringleaders. The miraculous boy Rody declined to preside over the trial. The chief justice role, initially assigned to one person, was eventually split among three: the Pope, the Dean of the Rody Academy Zetadak, and the Chairman of the Dennis Free Alliance Dunepa.

Nine associate justices, composed of great sages, kings, and sword emperors from around the world, were also selected.

The jury, consisting of eighty-one members, included renowned figures from the great war, such as sharp-tongued reporter Simpson, sage Landon, lowly servant Ivanyev, various chief editors of magical newspapers, and ordinary citizens.

People regretted that not only did the miraculous boy refuse the chief justice role due to his focus on training soldiers for the Hell expedition, but also Empress Mille, Old King Norn, and King William II, who always supported Rody, declined to attend the trial.

Empress Mille stated that being on the battlefield and biased towards Rody's side, she couldn’t ensure fairness and refused to participate in the trial.

Old King Norn and King William II expressed similar views, stating they were currently focusing on assisting Rody's Hell expedition and leaving the trial to more impartial and fair personnel in the rear. When Marshal Vondesman was approached, he stated that he needed to rebuild Sanctuary, construct the Road of Friendship, and support Rody's expedition, leaving no time to participate.

As for the Son of the Elves, Chris, everyone knew without asking that he wouldn’t attend.

Surprisingly, King Adrugeser of Great Frey also declined the role of associate justice. His reason was that he had been misled into allying with Galle and Redlands and almost made a grave mistake, even submitting a 'letter of apology' to the Justice Alliance court.

On the day before the court convened, rather than trying the criminals, they announced the list of main culprits and the war's damage to the world. The Justice Alliance Court declared that Rody's battle was a 'Human Survival Defense War' and the most just side. Any counterargument or discourse would be considered blasphemy, and if any criminal tried to tarnish this, their punishment would be increased.

The Human Justice Alliance Court declared that, except for a compassionate Holy Mother who never involved herself in wars or interfered with human affairs, all deities in the temples were deemed illegal and false.

No country, organization, or individual was allowed to worship and venerate these idols any longer.

All temple personnel not belonging to the Holy Mother's faction were to be expelled and examined for the crime of ‘deceiving the world by impersonating gods’.

The world hoped to replace previous divine statues with Rody's in the temples, but as soon as this wish reached Rody City, Rody issued his second official public address to the world: “I understand everyone's loss of faith and the emptiness it brings, but this approach makes me uneasy. I am just a human, regardless of who I was in a past life. Now, I live among you, not as a statue in a temple... The atmosphere of temples and the worship by clerics can easily lead to corruption and greed, which is why it's so common to find large amounts of gold and indecent items in the residences of priests. I have always hoped that temples exist not in our reality but in our hearts. Like the ascetic nuns, they don't need temples, they can pray to the Holy Mother and hear God's voice even in an almost sealed room. So, no matter what everyone decides, I don't wish to see my statue enter a temple one day... I don’t need your worship or veneration, friends, family, I just want to live forever among you!”

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Rody's words moved the world. He performed innumerable, unspeakable miracles for humanity, yet he did not wish to be remembered for his astounding feats or worshipped. He only desired to be regarded as a friend, a relative, living among the people.

The miraculous boy Rody was never a distant deity but a human son with laughter and tears.

As suggested by Empress Mille and other heads of states, Rody's statues were placed in central town squares worldwide, so he would always be among the people, allowing every person and future generations to understand and pay tribute to this human hero.

He did not belong to the grand halls of deities, but to the people around him.

People acted swiftly, not just placing Rody's statues, but also reliefs of Chris and the elite squad, along with their war records, for all to see. The magic newspapers did this best, issuing special editions detailing previous and current foreign invasion wars. Some countries' magic newspapers even compiled a thick 'Hero Handbook' to commemorate and educate future generations.

Rody voiced his opinions several times against this, but due to public enthusiasm, he finally requested that the war records be kept truthful.

Chris, fearing that people might distort and misunderstand history, decided to write a memoir during his spare time, revealing truths and brutal battles unknown to the world. He aimed to show that Rody's perfect victories required not only exceptional wisdom and strategy but also the bloody struggles and sacrifices of human soldiers, depicting their bravery to give a true understanding of each bloody battle.

In the rear, while Rody's heroic deeds were widely circulated, some magic newspapers also criticized war criminals.

For example, the Dennis Free Alliance Express listed six major crimes of the former human rebel commander-in-chief Torosky: Dereliction of duty, treachery, collusion with demons, deceiving the world, overzealous and rash actions, and deserting during battle.

Torosky, as the commander-in-chief of the human alliance, not only failed to lead effectively but also lived in luxury and indulgence, completely corrupting the Sanctuary Fortress and the alliance army left by Marshal Vondesman.

As a human commander, Torosky infamously exchanged money, magic crystals, women, and slaves with beastmen for honors, resulting in the most shameful scandal in history, 'Night Visit Gate'. He and Cardinal St. Dury became the most despised people in the human world. His treachery extended beyond this, involving collusion with angels, Winged people, and Centaurs in a staged battle, 'Burial Gate', arousing the world's anger. Although he tried to cover it up, he couldn't withstand the scrutiny of magic reporters.

If the blood battle with the Centaurs was a sham, then Torosky not only committed the crimes of collusion with demons and deceiving the world but also the war crime of murdering his subordinates.

In the decisive battle against ten thousand elite beastmen, despite having Adrugeser's perfect battle plan, the overambitious Torosky, after achieving a small victory, made misjudgments in his command. His relentless pursuit caused the beastmen to fight desperately like trapped animals, leading to a massive defeat of the human army by the beastmen led by the Lionheart King. Torosky committed unforgivable war crimes but ultimately deserted the battlefield, abandoning hundreds of thousands of troops.

If not for the timely arrival of the miraculous boy Rody, the human army would have been completely annihilated in that battle.

Of course, there were others in the world more deserving of anger and contempt than Torosky. Torosky was relatively fortunate, having been captured early by the beastmen and then presented to the miraculous boy Rody as a gift. During the subsequent major battle of Tucheng, he was merely a prisoner and did not continue to harm the world.

Another object of extreme hatred was the red-robed Bishop Saint Dury, who was presented as a gift to Rody by the Demon Marshal 'Flamewing,' who had surrendered.

When the trial was about to be conducted at the Human Justice Alliance Court in Mille, it was necessary to request twenty thousand heavily armored riot infantry from Norn and Camarone to stop the furious human onslaught. At least a hundred thousand people wrote petitions, demanding that the court dismember Saint Dury and distribute his flesh evenly among the people of all countries for consumption.

"If it weren't true, we wouldn't dare believe that there could be such shameless and terrifying schemers among humans. His malevolence is more dreadful than that of a demon lord; seeing him gives a feeling of disgust worse than seeing a green-headed fly," lamented the sage Landon.

"I am speechless about this man; looking at him makes me want to commit murder!" the sharp-tongued Simpson felt no words could accurately describe Saint Dury.

Another voice existed in the world.

That was the call for the expedition to the 'Exiled Land' and 'Hell,' which, under the propaganda of various countries, swept the entire human world.

"Join the army! March to Hell; maybe this legendary and heroic deed will be accomplished by you!" Recruitment slogans were posted everywhere in towns.

"The burning path cannot stop the steps of justice..." Every morning, students from various academies gathered to sing, and some even took to the streets to parade, showing support for Rody's expedition to Hell. Although squeezing into the main fighting force of a hundred thousand soldiers was difficult, many more hoped to become logistics soldiers, willing to lend a hand in road construction or supply transport.

Helping clean the battlefield would be an honor for a lifetime.

People no longer doubted anything Rody did, nor the feasibility of the expedition to Hell. Everyone believed victory was inevitable!

If anyone else had proposed this mission, it would have been questioned, but with Rody’s suggestion, everyone only raised their hands in approval. Because the miraculous boy Rody was inherently a god of victory, worrying about him was the most redundant thing!

In Rody City, Demon captives, Centaur laborers, and human rebel prisoners worked daily on the 'Road of Friendship,' extending this vast pathway towards the beastmen territories, with the beastmen's army paving from the other side. Numerous business groups and guilds transported mountains of goods, which were then transferred through Rody City's hub to the beastmen territories. Over a hundred thousand soldiers, in the 'Eternal Land' of the former evil forest, underwent strenuous training under the guidance of the elite squad members.

Red-haired Sar, Ice Demon Gao, Silver-haired Tommy, and One-armed Keri had grown into independent commanders.

They, representing Rody, trained the expedition soldiers step by step according to Rody’s earlier plans. Meanwhile, Rody, seizing the opportunity, led a comfortable life, practicing martial arts, spending time with the women, or secretly enhancing the number and strength of his dark servants.

Rody planned to establish an undead army of death knights before the Hell expedition.

Three captured demon kings, a demon marshal, and several demon generals had already become Rody's contracted knights.

Archangel Andre and two Silver Wing Seraphs, with stronger wills, were still struggling under Rody's mental pressure. Although willing to surrender, they refused to accept the master-slave contract.

Rody was not in a hurry. Before leading the elite troops to attack Heaven, he had plenty of time to break their wills... His only concern was the safety of his mother. Rody's mother's identity had been exposed, making her a potential target for angels

and demons. Now, even a fool knew that the miraculous boy Rody had only one weakness – his mother, the former wise Holy Woman.
