Chapter 1808: Judgment Begins

The Star Overseers' rebuke instantly echoed throughout the venue.

The Overseers present heard it, paused, then exchanged glances.

In some astonished gazes, it instantly became clear why number 1897 needed their 'support'.

Although number 1897 wasn't afraid of the opponent, there was nothing they could do against a giant eye of the same status!

If there were also battles between them, then for Overseers, combat was no longer a life‑death struggle but reliance on the System!

The System granted them invincibility, so to take down another Overseer, even the lowest‑rank Investigator, one must first strip away their permit!

The System's invincible permit!

This is the Overseers' source of strength, and also their sole vital point!

"Allow!"

"Agree!"

"In favor of initiating a temporary judgment!"

Low shouts rang out.

Without hesitation, almost the next second after number 1879 made the request, all thirteen Overseers present agreed to the judgment!

With their mental acuity, it was naturally clear that number 1879 had suffered heavy losses; between the two sides, a deadly feud had likely been forged!

Moreover, many giant eyes somewhat familiar with the Star Overseers also noticed the lingering aura on Lin An!

One side was a sneaking intruder, the other a 'colleague' from their own region.

For all Overseers present, this question needed no choice.

"Hum!"

In an instant, as the judgment was reached, the fourteen giant eyes led by the Star Overseers simultaneously burst forth with the System's unique white light, resembling overlapping six‑pointed stars.

Thick System light pillars, like twisted light bands, were drawn from the starry sky and instantly connected to each Overseer's body at great speed!

Energy linked, permits shared!

Endless starlight sparkled; vast System rule energy, like bricks, quickly formed a circular staircase resembling a judgment platform, layer by layer encircling the battlefield's center!

It was as if a judgment hall had appeared in the starry sky; layer upon layer of awe‑inspiring pressure overlapped, instantly generating a brilliant white super‑stellar body at the heart of the star sea!

Blinding and mysterious, supremely exalted!

Like an unknown super lifeform.

At the moment the white stellar body appeared, an indescribable supreme intent suddenly pressed upon the whole scene, shaking the spirits!

And at the center of that white stellar body lay a tightly closed eye!

Meanwhile, the fourteen Overseers who had initiated the temporary judgment all gazed upon the stellar body with utmost reverence and performed a salute.

As if facing some primordial embodiment of the System!

The white stellar body is the manifest incarnation of the System's judgment rules!

Only after summoning this rules incarnation could they initiate a judgment! Though a temporary venue, no matter how powerful the existence, it could only face death! Once the judgment is complete, there is absolutely no possibility of resistance!

Meanwhile, Hei Di and the others, forced to follow while trapped, felt their sense of collapse and despair intensify.

Under the immense pressure, everyone's face turned ashen.

Not bodily, but mental!

At the moment the judgment ceremony began, they felt all their power suppressed, while the surrounding fourteen giant eyes, like colossal gods, imposed immense mental pressure, making them almost want to kneel.

Fourteen Overseers!

They had never witnessed such a terrifying array!

Frankly speaking, even a Sixth Fourth Rank Awakened One violating the rules could never receive such 'treatment'!

In an instant, whether the Chimera Emperor or other Star Destroyers, they all stood frozen like terrified sheep.

They were so frightened they dared not even breathe!

Please do not implicate them! Please do not notice them!

If they weren't already lacking the courage to speak, let alone flee, at this moment several people wished they could rush sobbing to the feet of the sole 'known' Star Overseer and hurriedly leave.

What business do we have with them! Why must we confine them inside!

They are just a bunch of pitiful worms! Everything is because of that Lin An!

Who knows what a judgment ceremony capable of killing Overseers even is! Perhaps it's just a flash of light that would instantly annihilate them!

Yet it remained the same as before.

No matter how Hei Di and the others pleaded with their eyes toward the Star Overseers, begging to be released, at this moment, shrouded in white light, the fourteen Overseers resembling a star‑spirit judgment completely ignored them.

Fourteen eyeballs locked onto the central Overseer number 77, their eyes full of ruthless indifference.

They were not surprised that the opponent did not force a breakout or struggle!

For Overseers, regular combat had become utterly meaningless!

Once the alert mechanism is triggered, unless they voluntarily release the star field, no living being can escape!

What's more, they even brought a worm! And still wanted to take this human along!

"Report your number! Intruder!"

"Final chance! Hand over the loophole you hold! Accept punishment!"

The voice resounded like heavenly might, vast and mighty!

The final ultimatum.

At the moment the temporary judgment ceremony was completed, the speaker this time was not the Star Overseers testing them, but a bluish‑black giant eyeball.

In terms of size, it was nearly as huge as Overseer number 77!

As if looking down upon all beings, a superior gazing upon an inferior! The eyeball, encircled by bluish‑black veins, stared coldly and fixedly at number 77.

"Cherish the opportunity I give you! Unknown intruder!"

Otherwise, if the verdict is activated, not even the Overseers behind you can save you!

I reiterate again!

In an instant, as the leading blue giant eye's voice fell, the white star above the battlefield's center seemed to rotate along with it!

It seemed that if 77 did not cease resistance, the system's embodiment of rules would instantly descend judgment!

It is not out of mercy or indecision.

For the Overseers, they will not easily activate the verdict unless absolutely necessary!

The verdict ritual that can judge other Overseers is the sole deadly weapon that can threaten them! Thus, in their internal unspoken rules, they will avoid crossing this line as much as possible!

Of course, if the opponent remains obstinate... stupid to...

"Verdict? Opportunity?"

Beyond the blue giant eye's expectation.

Only seeing that under the immense pressure of fourteen equal-level forces, 77, now at the battlefield's center, seemed to be in the eye of the storm, surrounded by distorting spatial power.

He not only showed no trace of panic or fear, but his huge silver-white pupils were filled with a strange color.

"A temporary committee? What is that?"

A soundless, light chuckle, even somewhat mocking.

A double entendre.

As 77's voice, seemingly ignoring everyone, spread across the entire field, the leading blue giant eye's gaze suddenly turned icier, even carrying a hint of anger!

You were given a chance, yet you don't cherish it!?

Such an attitude is basically ignoring them!

Just the words spoken by 77 were truly too ambiguous; amid the killing intent filling the field, the Star Overseers with the strongest urge to kill, as if thinking of something, suddenly turned the eyes behind them toward all the Overseers.

"Everyone! Why waste words with him? This idiot—let him know what a verdict is!"

While speaking, the front eyeball gave a fierce grin at 77.

"You, a country bumpkin from the remote star region, probably don't even know what an Overseer committee is, do you!?"

"You think becoming an Overseer makes you invincible? Immortal!?"

"Ignorant fool!"

As the words fell, the Star Overseers unhesitatingly transmitted orders to the central star body!

He could hardly wait to see that country bumpkin, shocked to discover his own authority had vanished! He could already imagine how, in judgment, that silver-blue giant eye would desperately beg him, knowing exactly what he had done wrong!

Perhaps an Overseer chosen by the system for his great strength?

He has also seen plenty of fools who are strong but know nothing about the higher echelons!

These idiots who have just become Overseers have no idea what true power is! Above power lies the rule that suppresses everything!
