Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Are you ready to face your sin?

What's happening?

Xie Antong's tone of voice right now showed no difference at all, unlike Chiyo Ming's deliberate seductiveness.

But the sound of her speaking had a bewitching quality that could captivate all living beings. Everyone followed her pointing finger and looked upward.

Even Judgment himself instinctively looked up.

Then, almost everyone's pupils instantly contracted.

How is this possible! When did this happen...

Above their heads, during the time no one was paying attention, eighteen lights...

Seventeen of them had already turned green!

Judgment's mental state was starting to become somewhat uncontrollable.

After all, the battle in the room was simply too intense, resembling the final showdown a story goes through before its conclusion.

Although Judgment himself had been relatively attentive, Sin's frenzied attacks had indeed restrained Him.

Using His final abilities and authority, He had already placed those few more powerful characters into this room when pressing the button to change rooms.

Which meant... during the fighting just now, Xie Antong alone had been moving between different rooms outside, clearing all the remaining hells!

Only then did she finally come here.

Tch... Where did this kind of person come from!

Searching through His memories, Judgment really had no impression of this strange woman.

Previously in hell, she hadn't shown any outstanding performance, especially in terms of combat ability.

To be honest, this was actually Pleasure.

In a certain sense, Xie Antong now existed as part of Pleasure's energy, a marked existence that she had seized for herself.

While not exactly famous throughout the world, she should have gained some recognition among the "gods."

But Pleasure was just Pleasure—for the sake of finding amusement, she had completely sealed off this information, not letting any of it spread.

As a result, in Judgment's eyes, the name "Blank" was practically no different from being transparent.

"Why do you always avoid answering my questions? Such an ill-mannered fellow~."

Xie Antong said to Judgment with a somewhat teasing tone.

"Hmph! What are you?"

"Do you have the qualification to make me answer your questions?"

"I will be your executioner, delivering judgment upon you!"

Judgment's somewhat irritated voice came through, while simultaneously raising high that tungsten gold rod, with thunder rolling upon it like rippling water waves.

He swung it down fiercely toward Xie Antong!

He was actually taking direct action?

Xie Antong's eyes instantly sharpened, the lenses before her eyes slowing everything down. Her whole body flashed sideways under this overwhelming attack, brushing past the thunderclouds on the rod as she leaped out to the side.

Her body flipped several times through the air, creating distance. When she looked up, her gaze met Judgment's.

Judgment was immediately stunned—this was the second person today whose eyes felt wrong to Him.

The first was Sin, with his appetite-driven ferocity. Even when his strength was inferior, he viewed Him as prey.

The second was this woman before Him.

Why did her eyes brim with the arrogance of a superior, like a higher-ranking noble of ancient times looking down upon a minor noble?

"Execute me?"

"Do you have the qualifications for that?"

Xie Antong stared intently at Judgment across from her. Just as He Himself felt His own aura weakening slightly, He suddenly snapped back to reality and closed His eyes.

Swaying slightly, He suppressed His condition.

Gazing into the abyss—with even the slightest misstep, one could face eternal damnation.

"So, what do you think will happen when all eighteen lights turn on?"

Seeing Judgment suddenly take action, Perfect Life instantly sensed something wrong and quickly spoke up to ask.

Xie Antong replied naturally:

"I don't know either, I'm just guessing~."

"These lights represent judgment of sin. When a red light turns on, it means someone in the corresponding room is guilty."

"Then what does green represent? Whose judgment does it signify?"

"When all eighteen green lights turn on, isn't it possible that it represents you being guilty!?"

Before Judgment could speak, the still-conscious players in the room felt as if cold water had been poured over their hearts, their bodies shuddering with a sudden chill.

This was an unprecedented line of thinking!

They all knew red represented guilt, but correspondingly, they had all assumed green meant "innocent."

As for what would happen when all turned green, they had considered it might just mean the game was over.

Then the person who lit the most green lights, like "Sin," would be the one who successfully atoned.

It all sounded very reasonable, which was why Lu Ce had sometimes fought with players in other rooms when he went there earlier.

But...

All green lights turning on represents Judgment being guilty?!

This perspective was something none of the current players had ever considered.

Even the audience, who had always possessed an omniscient view, now had their eyes light up. Among all the previous speculations, no one had ever thought of this possibility.

[: Really? Hiss, thinking carefully, it does seem possible.]

[: So this is what she meant earlier when she said "does atonement include you"? How terrifying!]

[: Truly worthy of being the leader of Divine Punishment!]

...

In the game, Perfect Life murmured:

"As the god of judgment, whether failing to judge any sinner or arresting the wrong person..."

"Naturally constitutes the sin of judgment!"

"That makes sense!"

In the room, the sound of thunder roared as Judgment's expression filled with rage, brandishing His tungsten gold rod crackling with lightning.

"Nonsense!"

"It seems the Tongue-Ripping Hell is indeed where you belong."

Boom!

Xie Antong's figure turned into an afterimage, dodging this frenzied power.

"Hehe, no need to be so angry out of shame."

"Isn't there still one light that hasn't turned on yet?"

"If my guess is correct, haven't you already placed it in a foolproof location?"

At this moment, Club Ace also moved, his blade gleaming as he began a new round of slaughter.

Clearly, Judgment was starting to get somewhat anxious.

"Are you ready to face your sin?"

Xie Antong stood amidst the chaotic room, facing the thunder, her gaze meeting Judgment's.

Boom!

With a loud blast, it was actually Sin finally making his move again. Seizing the opening while Judgment was swinging His attack, he heavily struck His chest.

Tungsten gold shattered as Judgment staggered backward some distance.

"Oh~ I actually wasn't referring to this 'Sin'..."

Xie Antong spread her hands.

"But it doesn't matter, it's all the same."
