Chapter 4145 Accusation
"N-nothing?" Linton waited a moment, but Yukihira Soma didn't continue. He couldn't help but ask, "That's all? Don't you have anything else to explain?"

"Huh?" Soma Yukihira on the other end was also taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Um... do I need to explain that?"

"Good heavens, you think you can just say that and be done with it? You're really putting on a foolish act," Linton couldn't help but say. "At least explain why you've changed your appearance."

"Ah... this... I'm not quite sure about this either," Soma Yukihira continued, scratching his head. "Have I really changed a lot? I don't even feel that way myself..."

"..." I don't know if it's the kind of silliness unique to Japanese protagonists or if this guy is doing it on purpose, but anyway, it's quite speechless.

"Never mind." Linton didn't even bother to say whether he believed this guy was actually Yukihira Soma, but simply waved his hand and said, "Have you decided which side you want to stand on?"

At this point, Soma Yukihira's expression turned serious, and he said, "Mr. Linton, please answer one question for me first."

“Alright, go ahead and ask,” Linton said without any rush.

"Someone told me that the world is the way it is now because of Mr. Linton. Is that true?" Soma Yukihira asked directly.

Upon hearing Soma Yukihira's question, Linton probably already understood Soma Yukihira's situation.

The person Soma Yukihira mentioned is clearly referring to the system, Kuro. It has to be said, Kuro will tell you anything to recruit the protagonist.

Aside from him, it was clear that no one else could possibly realize this problem. After all, Linton knew that even though he was considered quite powerful by others, he couldn't directly change the state of the world.

In reality, the only people who know the inside story and would make such a claim are himself, Aizen, and the system Kuro. After all, it was indeed the three of them who initially orchestrated this together.

Now, in order to trick the male protagonist into joining the group, the system, Xiao Hei, has directly pinned the blame on Linton.

Explanations are certainly possible, after all, even the system itself can't completely absolve itself of responsibility, right? But Linton really couldn't be bothered to explain. Why should he explain to the other party? Just because the other party is the male protagonist, does that mean he has to explain the whole story to them?
Uh... thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be the norm, and it seems that I should explain the ins and outs myself... but I'm too lazy to explain.

"Yes, I did it." See how much easier it is to say it like that? It only takes six words to solve the problem.

"Why did you do this?" Soma Yukihira was stunned for a moment, then immediately questioned him, his tone quite intense.

“There are many reasons. This is the will of this world, an evolution of humanity, a breaking down of class barriers, and an opportunity for the lower classes to rise up.” Linton shrugged and casually made up a few reasons. “Of course, none of these are important. The most important thing is… I'm willing.” “You…” Yukihira Soma was a little confused when Linton said the first part, since he understood the general meaning, but when he heard Linton say “I'm willing” at the end, this attitude somewhat angered him. “Just because of your momentary whim, so many people have lost their lives. Don’t you feel any guilt at all?”

"Sigh, it's that same old 'human life is paramount' theory again, isn't it?" Linton said, shrugging. "There's really nothing I can do with protagonists like you. Well then, I'm a good person, I'll teach you a skill that can resurrect people, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Linton's response was clearly beyond Yukihira Soma's expectations. He was obviously still thinking about how Linton would refute him and continue to criticize Linton, but Linton suddenly pulled this unexpected move, leaving him completely at a loss.

“Don’t worry, it’s easy to learn.” Linton said, turning to Matsumoto Yoshishi behind him. “As you all have seen, this Mr. Yukihira Soma values ​​human life very much. He will be able to learn the ability to resurrect people. If you have anyone you want to resurrect, just go to him. If he dares not to accept your requests, just use the same words he used to insult me ​​today to insult him back.”

"You can clearly resurrect people, but you don't. Don't you feel any guilt?" You can say all of that back. This person will be the beast of burden for all mankind from now on, specifically responsible for resurrecting everyone. Linton said, pointing at Yukihira Soma.

"No...this...is not it." This clearly caught Soma Yukihira off guard, leaving him somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Even if he wasn't very bright, he knew that people die every moment in this world. If all the families of these people came to him for resurrection, then he really wouldn't have to do anything else and could just become a resurrection machine.

You say you can't do it, but that's not up to you. Linton himself said that, and now he's criticizing Linton the same way. If he were to quit, others would criticize him just as much.

There are over 2 million people watching the live stream right now, and in front of a global audience, Soma Yukihira is at a loss for what to do.

"No, don't you question whether this ability to revive people is real?" Linton asked with a smile, looking at Soma Yukihira who didn't know how to respond.

"Ah...yes, this ability..."

“Of course it’s true.” Before Soma Yukihira could finish speaking, Linton immediately interjected, “Look at you, how can you doubt even what I say? Are you out of your mind? Come on, I assure everyone, this is absolutely true, and I guarantee that this Soma Yukihira will learn it. As for the others, that's another story. So, is this Soma Yukihira, who values ​​human life above all else, willing to make his own contribution to the lives of all humanity?”

Linton completely took over the conversation, leaving Soma Yukihira feeling lost and unsure of what to do.

"No, why are you hesitating?" Linton looked at Yukihira Soma. "Were those words you just said just a whim? Do you know how many viewers watching the show right now are hoping you can use this ability to revive their loved ones, and you're hesitating? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

Good heavens, he hasn't even learned that yet, and he's already completely shut down Linton's argument. Yukihira Soma clearly understands now that he can't possibly win an argument with Linton just by talking.
