Chapter 581: The Abnormality of the Supreme Judge
The Abnormality of the Supreme Judge
Loyat discovered Laquis's arrival and roared for him to help.
Even until Laquis was locked in the Howling Iron Prison and fell to this state, he had never forgotten the sentence Loyat said at that time. He said:
"【Order】 has abandoned Himself, abandoned order. He is no longer worthy to sit on the Supreme Tribunal. Laquis, help me, quickly help me take Him down!
As long as I sit on that divine throne, I guarantee that on the land of the Grand Tribunal, the song of order will ring out eternally!
I will be the new 【Order】!"
Crazy, Loyat was crazy.
This was the Grand Justice's first thought. He couldn't imagine that the highest power-holder of this country was blaspheming the benefactor of the entire country in the most pious and orderly place in this land!
Not only that, he even wanted to usurp power!
For a pious follower of 【Order】, this was simply unacceptable.
So he took action, decisively taking action against this Supreme Judge.
Under the bonus of rich 【Order】 power, he subdued Loyat in almost one move, but what he didn't expect was that this binding rope used to imprison enemies actually strangled the other party to death right before his eyes.
The Grand Justice, under the witness of the 【Iron Law of Order】, killed a Supreme Judge without trial!
The commotion of this action was too great, and it quickly alarmed all the power-holders of the Katerou Court. The other four of the six supreme members arrived in a flash, and then they saw the 【Iron Law of Order】 floating in mid-air, the Grand Justice with a face of shock and fear, and the Supreme Judge with a blue-purple face and marks all over his body.
Everyone was shocked, but those present were all experts at judging cases, especially the Grand Investigator. She saw the clues at a glance, discovering that Loyat had blasphemed first, and Laquis had upheld justice later.
In this way, this Grand Justice hadn't violated any laws, and even had merit!
It was just why he appeared here alone, and how the missing Supreme Judge fell into blasphemous madness—all of this was a mystery to Lideyala.
She wanted to interrogate on the spot, but the other two Supreme Judges and the Grand Executioner clearly didn't want to blow this matter up, so they decided to disperse the crowd first, conceal the matter, and decided not to pursue Laquis's accidental appearance.
But just then, Laquis raised his head with a solemn face, shook his head with extreme seriousness, and said:
"Loyat was not killed by me. As Grand Justice, I will not execute beyond my authority before the sinner has accepted trial and exercised his right to defense.
The person... was killed by Him!
The 【Iron Law of Order】 has a problem!"
"Watch your words!" roared Esares, one of the Supreme Judges. He waved the scepter in his hand, dispersing all the Iron Law Knights who had come upon hearing the sound. At the same time, the Grand Executioner Altair directly invoked the power of 【Order】, imprisoning this 'new blasphemer' on the spot.
"I am not lying. I saw Loyat go mad and attempt to tear up the 【Iron Law of Order】. Out of piety to my faith, I took action to imprison him.
But when I mobilized the surrounding 【Order】 power, I found that His power was terrifyingly violent, far exceeding my imagination. Not only that, but in that 【Order】 power that should have been pure and holy, there were countless other powers that could not be distinguished.
These powers were intertwined and chaotic to the extreme. I was influenced by Him, and my consciousness was almost blank for a moment.
By the time I regained my consciousness, Loyat... was already dead before me!"
"Enough!" Esares's gaze was gloomy. "Laquis, do you know what you are saying! You are blaspheming! You are blaspheming my Lord in the hall of 【Order】!"
The Grand Justice was righteous:
"I know!
But I am not blaspheming; I am showing my most fearless piety to the primitive, pure 【Order】!
Since I could be influenced by the chaotic power He emitted, what about Loyat?
Was he influenced? Did he also discover something? Esares, you clearly know about this. What are you hiding?
This is very wrong.
The Supreme Tribunal, which has always represented 【Order】, actually has internal problems. This is not a small matter, nor can it become a small matter!
I, Laquis, in the name of the Grand Justice, apply to the Grand Investigator for the highest level of investigation, and the objects of the investigation are...
You, you, you!"
He pointed at the two Supreme Judges and the Grand Executioner in turn, and then pointed tremblingly at the 【Iron Law of Order】 floating in mid-air.
"And... Him!"
"You are crazy too." A flash of complexity crossed the eyes of Supreme Judge Kein Laoer. He sighed, looked at the Grand Investigator, and said, "Lideyala, I know you have many doubts, but I believe you will prioritize the big picture."
Lideyala's sharp gaze swept over everyone, taking in everyone's expressions. She was noncommittal, but she didn't leave either.
Seeing this, the two High Judges exchanged a glance and joined forces on the spot, requesting the 【Order Iron Law】 to bestow the highest power of judgment. They sentenced the Grand Justice, who refused to plead guilty, to the punishment of blasphemy, and the Grand Executioner personally escorted him into the deepest dungeon of the Howling Iron Prison.
And this was everything Laquis had experienced.
Cheng Shi frowned as he listened to the whole process, his mind constantly thinking about what that 【Order】 power that the Grand Justice saw, which was mixed with countless other powers, could be.
The source of these powers might help Cheng Shi reveal the essence of the 【Iron Law of Order】, because logically, He shouldn't have backstabbed His benefactor 【Order】.
But as far as Laquis's story went, there was no answer to this question.
So he continued to listen intently, waiting for the Grand Investigator Lideyala's own story.
Lideyala's state was much worse than before. Thinking and speaking made her increasingly exhausted, but Cheng Shi couldn't provide treatment or help, so she could only rely on herself to pull herself together and continue narrating.
Her persistence clearly represented her piety to 【Order】 and her trust in the glimmer of hope brought by the God-Embracer.
"My discovery was not as intense and profound as Laquis's, because piety told me that no matter whether I believed what the Grand Justice said or not, I could not directly investigate my Lord 【Order】.
So, I chose to investigate His followers first, the Supreme Judges and Grand Executioners who maintain the operation of this country.
As Grand Investigator, I have the right to secret investigation, so I started my first investigation without making it public, and my first target was Kein Laoer, who advised me to consider the big picture.
To be honest, he had no problems.
Rotating the Supreme Tribunal, attending all meetings that Supreme Judges need to attend, actively promoting the implementation of law and politics, resisting the spread of the Tower of Reason's will and land invasion...
Although some of his relatives and subordinates were being influenced by the will of 【Truth】, at least Kein Laoer himself was not deeply involved.
He always piously practiced the will of 【Order】. Even by my harsh standards, he was a model, a model of piety to 【Order】.
Until I discovered..." ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
