Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 679 - 635 Necessary Measures

How to deal with the threat of the Evil God Sect is something that Perfikot has always been concerned about.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's her top concern.

After already addressing the apocalypse crisis, for Perfikot, how to resist the threats from the Ancient Gods and the Evil God Sect became her top priority.

If not for this matter holding her back, perhaps Perfikot would have long cast aside all mundane affairs and built herself a floating city to enjoy life freely.

But an inexplicable sense of responsibility drives Perfikot not to abandon it all, but instead to seriously seek solutions to the problem.

Electing a prime minister to specifically address the matter from the Empire's policy side is one of the measures Perfikot has taken for this purpose.

Politics might not solve every problem, but as long as this matter forms a political trend, bringing votes to politicians, Perfikot believes this will become their utmost concern.

Of course, perhaps one day things might progress to the extent of nurturing a threat for self-benefit.

But Perfikot feels that this might not be unacceptable; after all, if some seafood weren't left behind, how would people know why they were hated by the world for a thousand years?

Leaving a part of the Evil God Sect behind can precisely inform the populace why it's necessary to prohibit and guard against them.

Moreover, the true threat of the Evil God Sect lies not in the sect itself, but in the Ancient Gods standing behind them.

As long as the Ancient Gods are eradicated, the remaining sect followers are nothing but a bunch of frenzied cultists, insignificant compared to the Empire's mighty military forces.

As for how to eradicate the threat of the Ancient Gods, that's the task Perfikot has to handle.

However, at present, facing Perfikot's questions are Wellington and Kallen, whose task is merely to think about how to deal with the Evil God Sect.

So after giving it some thought, Wellington said, "The Empire currently has no clear definition of what constitutes the Evil God Sect, except for Fatherhood faith being considered orthodoxy, how the Empire should treat other beliefs has no clear standard either.

If I can be elected smoothly, during my term, I will push for related legislation on this issue, establishing clear criteria for the Evil God Sect and heretical beliefs, then strike and prohibit all Evil God beliefs that don't meet these criteria."

"A conventional idea, but your approach has a flaw; what if someone uses the guise of Fatherhood faith to distort doctrines for worshipping an Evil God?" Perfikot, whether intentionally making things difficult for Wellington or searching for flaws to help him patch them, clearly doesn't endorse Wellington's proposal to legislate clear standards.

Kallen after serious thought, said: "Without clear standards, we could call anyone an Evil Sect heretic, and then they are. But that's not appropriate.

Although it helps handle emergencies, without clear evaluation standards, it might lead to accusations and misuse of punishment.

If possible, there should still be a reference standard for evaluation, so legislation is necessary, but we shouldn't define the scope of Evil God Sect assessment too clearly; it should enable the public to quickly discern what is the Evil God Sect.

Simultaneously, the official standards must flexibly ban and suppress some well-hidden or creatively named Evil God Sects, to form a healthy approach."

"Although that's the case, how should the standard be established? We can make it slightly vague, but what kind of standard would allow the public to immediately make the correct judgment, while officials can flexibly adjust?" Perfikot looked at Kallen, seemingly challenging her, yet it could be interpreted as identifying oversights.

Confronted with Perfikot's questioning, Kallen fell into contemplation, momentarily at a loss for how to establish a suitable standard.

Wellington appropriately added: "Thank you, Countess, for your inspiration, this might serve as a draft proposal for related laws upon my ascent, by then the National Assembly should be able to come up with a suitable plan."

"The National Assembly, is it? That's certainly a possibility; therefore, both of you should prepare well for the election, I hope there are no surprises this time." Perfikot presented herself very seriously, the imposing presence of a great aristocrat fully manifested.

"Rest assured, we will be cautious." Wellington pledged confidently, not anticipating any unexpected events.

Given the current situation, Wellington's likelihood of being elected is indeed high, yet uncertainties still remain.

Though today's speech showcased Wellington and Kallen's excellent performance, describing it as outstanding wouldn't be hyperbole, it doesn't mean that other candidates are necessarily inferior.

Based on Perfikot's observation today, among other candidates, there are indeed competent civil servants adept in practical affairs, Wellington merely has the dual advantage of being nominated by the Northern Territory and having Kallen's joint participation, thus appearing victorious.

However, influencing this outcome is not as difficult as imagined.
