Chapter 188

I have come keeping my promise

"Wait!"

Cheng Shi was anxious. He stood up abruptly from the defendant's seat and said with a gloomy face:

"Presumption of innocence!

If you judge that I murdered others, then, Judge, please provide evidence!"

"【Order】 sees everything, evil cannot escape.

When order is not observed, sin is still sin!

The sinner's words are blasphemous, disrupting the judgment, murdering others, and showing no remorse. Multiple crimes punished together, sentenced to...

Death by thunder!"

"Bang—"

The heavy sound of the gavel echoed throughout the entire courtroom.

Cheng Shi heard the gavel sound ending the judgment, his pupils constricted, his face extremely solemn.

What a "civilized" prologue; you are truly fucking civilized!

The moment the gavel struck, he struggled to jump out of the defendant's seat, using every means to escape, even clutching the 【Death】 Fun Ring, which had only one charge left, in his hand in desperation.

If he couldn't withstand it, he planned to have a magical duel with the courtroom's thunder!

Although there was only one shot, what if?

What if it withered after one thunder strike?

Even if there was more than one shot, he couldn't care about that anymore. Under the pressure of being sentenced to death and in the shadow of death, living one more second counted as one.

He even regretted why he hadn't activated "Sea Dream's Foam" the moment he entered the courtroom!

If he could snap his fingers at this moment, would this unfair judge forget him and end the judgment directly?

In short, there were too many accidents, so many that no amount of backup plans would be of any use.

My life is in danger!!!

Once the charge is set, the thunder penalty descends immediately!

Cheng Shi's attempt to escape looked no different from a clown in the eyes of the judge.

The moment he lifted his foot to jump out of the defendant's seat, the thunder filling the sky poured down like a world-ending rain.

This volume of destructive power was something even a hundred shots of 【Thunder Ruling】 couldn't compare to!

How could he duel with this, 1 against 100?

Fuck!

This is simply an unsolvable death sentence!

Cheng Shi was even ready to accept his fate.

He stopped, neither dodging nor avoiding, just standing straight with his back upright, looking at that high-and-mighty judge's chair with a playful gaze, and then, coldly spoke his final words:

"I hope one day, you won't be the one sitting in the defendant's seat, my beloved Judge!"

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The roaring wild thunder smashed down, and in the blink of an eye, it crashed onto...

A giant tentacle!

I don't know when, but a terrifying giant tentacle had appeared in this empty courtroom.

The moment it appeared, it swept across from above Cheng Shi's head, shattering the sky-filling thunder into sparks and fire, causing the roaring plasma to dissipate instantly in mid-air.

Cheng Shi only felt a strong wind hitting his face, the whistling wind even drowning out the sound of thunder!

His cheeks were blown painfully, but he still endured the pain and looked up.

!!!!!

This one look made Cheng Shi's heart and soul tremble!

This one look made Cheng Shi's spirit tremble!

He recognized what this was. Even though he had never seen it, he recognized at a glance what this tentacle that swept away the thunder really was.

【Divine Pillar】!

The 【Divine Pillar】 of 【Birth】!

No wonder Zhen Yi once said it was a life "fossil" that made people never want to look at it a second time after one glance!

She was absolutely right.

When Cheng Shi saw that giant tentacle, covered in all kinds of life specimens, roaring past above his head, he clearly saw that the life fossil, which had accumulated for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, was "painted" with countless eyes, noses, mouths, limbs, and unheard-of... genitals.

He...

Too shocking.

So shocking that Cheng Shi completely forgot he was still in 【Order】's courtroom and was still a criminal about to be sentenced to death!

The 【Divine Pillar】 cleared away the thunder but didn't rush to leave. It whipped through the air, rubbing against the surrounding vitality and emitting maddening gibberish.

"I—have—come—keeping—my—promise—"

Cheng Shi heard this sound of 【Birth】, his face flushed red, and he crouched down.

The judge's chair heard this "warning word," remained silent for a long time, and then spat out two words in a deep voice:

"Court dismissed..."

The surrounding scene receded like a tide. Cheng Shi only felt a blur before his eyes, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness once again.

At the same time, another judgment.

Still that high-and-mighty judge's chair, still that defendant's seat with head bowed for judgment.

The majestic voice swept across the four directions again, and every syllable echoing in the courtroom was so heart-shaking.

"【Order】 is above, the judgment has arrived!

Do you admit that throughout the entire trial, you have desecrated 【Order】 more than once?"

Hu Wei sat in the defendant's seat and smiled indifferently:

"I admit it."

As his words fell, a huge sound of 【Chaos】 rose from beneath his feet. This sound was like wailing in fire, and like the friction of iron and steel, continuous like a spring, endless like a sea tide.

This mesmerizing sound of 【Chaos】 lifted Hu Wei higher and higher until his position was higher than that chair. He laughed loudly, jumped down, stepped on the judge's chair, and took the initiative, saying:

"【Order】 is below, how can there be judgment?

Why don't I ask you instead.

Do you admit that throughout the entire trial, you have fabricated order more than once?"

The judge's chair wanted to struggle, but it couldn't move at all.

After a long time, that majestic voice was no longer majestic.

"Court dismissed..."

At the same time, the third judgment.

"【Order】 is above, the judgment has arrived!

Do you admit that throughout the entire trial, you have desecrated 【Order】 more than once?"

Bai Fei said nothing, looking coldly at that chair, and was then pulled away from this place by a force erupting from 【Sinking】.

Watching the sinner in the defendant's seat disappear, the judge sighed helplessly:

"Court dismissed..."

The fourth judgment.

"【Order】 is above, the judgment has arrived!

You have never broken order throughout the entire trial and deserve His commendation..."

The fifth judgment.

"【Order】 is above, the judgment has arrived!

Do you admit that throughout the entire trial, you have desecrated 【Order】 more than once?"

"I admit it, I admit it, I admit everything, I admit it all!"

"The sinner has almost no defense and sincerely pleads guilty. Considering his minor acts of desecration, after careful consideration, sentenced to...

One hundred lashes!"

"Bang—"

As the final judgment sound was set, the harsh sound of the whip lashing immediately rang out in the courtroom, along with... the "ah~ah~" sounds one after another.
