Though His trials were “simple,” every trial concluded with an “Orderly Judgment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this judgment, the judge wasn’t [Order] Himself but rather the collective will of all the “Order” in the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following order wasn’t just a hollow phrase—those who broke the rules would face punishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi’s vision shifted, and he found himself in [Order]’s trial courtroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting in the defendant’s seat, looking up at the towering, yet empty, judge’s chair ahead of him, smiling as calmly as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t break any laws—what should I be worried about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, a voice as loud as a bell echoed from the judge’s seat, shaking the room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“[Order] above, the judgment begins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you admit to desecrating [Order] more than once during this trial?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi blinked, his brows furrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something felt off about this opening statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, if you hadn’t violated any rules, [Order]’s judgment would immediately declare your innocence, and the trial would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t break any rules either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, procedures were procedures. Even if things felt strange, you had to respond when called upon. And if the judge deemed you guilty, the punishment wouldn’t just be a loss of points—it would also affect your “health bar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted to be punished for something they didn’t do, especially when they were innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Cheng Shi protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I deny it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The defendant denies the charge. The trial continues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you admit to illegally tearing open the void in a restricted city zone, causing destruction to a large amount of public property?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi innocently blinked his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I deny it. It was my teammate, Hu Wei, who tore open the void, and my teammate, Bai Fei, who destroyed the public property. I was forced into it—I have witnesses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The denial is acknowledged. Please present your witnesses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My teammates—Li Ziran, Zhang Ruyu, Yan… they all saw it happen. They can testify.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Denial accepted. The trial continues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you admit to opening the deep void without permission from [Him] and desecrating His creation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi was stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief as he questioned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me, Your Honor, are you saying that the void is now under [Order]’s jurisdiction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtroom fell silent. After a long pause, the judge’s chair made a barely perceptible shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The denial is valid. The trial continues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you admit to planting a trap in an important asset storage facility without the permission of the research institution, leading to significant private property damage and the irreversible destruction of numerous academic achievements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I deny it. May I ask, Your Honor, at the moment the trial ended, had the research institution in question suffered any losses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oddly enough, even though the judge’s chair was suspended in mid-air, Cheng Shi could swear he heard the sound of a chair leg scraping against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Denial accepted. The trial continues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The authoritative and grand voice in the courtroom seemed to grow even more somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you admit to illegally murdering someone in the city without permission from the local authorities?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!!??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What in the world!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person I killed was Yan Chun, not a citizen of Gasmira. Since when was killing a player considered illegal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you telling me the rules of the [Faith Game] are less significant than Gasmira’s laws!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ridiculous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cheng Shi understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a fair trial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible judge in that towering chair wasn’t administering justice—they were nitpicking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Order] must have been angered by the players’ “rule-bending” gameplay. He was now eager to punish those who treated His order lightly and desecrated His laws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Order] was breaking His own order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, as ironic as that was, it was also correct. Because [Order] was everything that defined order, and He alone had the authority to interpret it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the growing realization that he was trapped in a dangerous situation, Cheng Shi merely furrowed his brow but didn’t panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had anticipated some complications during the judgment. Though this was more absurd than expected, he had prepared emergency plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his posture and responded forcefully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I deny it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I’m a benevolent person—I never kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have witnesses… and evidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your defense is allowed. Please present your evidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The owner of the Night Thorn Hotel in the East District of Gasmira, Babos; the owner of the Morning Dew Terrace Restaurant, Hill; and in the East District…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi continued to list nearly a hundred names, even reciting the names of every child in the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he presented the painting made by all the children in the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Honor, all of the above can testify that I am a good person. And not just any good person—a generous good person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew, no matter how strict [Order] was, He still had a soft spot for good people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cheng Shi? Well, he was the best kind of good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good people shouldn’t be falsely accused, just as bad people must face punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Cheng Shi smiled brightly, looking as if he were already victorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, the judge’s chair remained silent for a long while before the deep voice finally returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The evidence provided by the defendant is irrelevant to the accusation of murder. The defense is invalid, and the charges…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-05-30T16:17:59.407Z","2026-06-01T04:31:40.442Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ca25b3032f0c010bb17fa9b6d71a21516e7fc41380503cda1e2d79b66cb0c9b","foolish-game-of-the-gods-chapter-188","foolish-game-of-the-gods-chapter-186",1463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffoolish-game-of-the-gods-cover.jpg"]
