But Sariel still wasn't willing: "The pirates are lurking to seize Chun as well! Once they tie Chun to a small boat, the pirates might act too."
Moreover, if Chun were to be released, Alpha would surely find a way to avoid it, rendering it ineffective!
The Mermaid exclaimed, "Then I'll eliminate the pirates!"
Sariel hurriedly said, "Lord of the Divine Throne, the Guardian God cannot strike against mortals!"
The Mermaid was quite impatient: "Clearly the gods have power but can't use it, why is this rule in place?"
Sariel explained: "This is also to demonstrate to various Evil Gods in the wild, and it's a way to set rules for them, letting them know it's a great crime. If even the city's main god made a move against mortals, those wild Evil Gods would kill without restraint."
The Mermaid responded with an 'Oh': "I see, that's reasonable…"
