Chapter 1913 The Universe's Judgement.
"Judge me?! Sins? Virtues? Who appointed you as the universe's moral compass?!" Medusa sneered coldly, "I am a ruler, the supreme being, no one can judge me!"
"Get off your high horse." Asna ridiculed, "The seven sins and virtues belong to the original being, the universe's consciousness. You will be judged based on his compass."
In other words, Asna wasn't the one making the judgment...Instead, it would be the universe based on those fourteen laws!
As she was done speaking, fourteen holy and wicked symbols began to appear around them, representing each sin and virtue. Then, a manifestation of a brilliant scale appeared in the center of those symbols and above the cross.
Everything hovered in silent judgment as though the universe itself was deliberating.
Before Medusa could fight back, the judgment began with the cross behind her blazing with an unbearable light while the seven sins swirled around her like dark specters, whispering accusations from every dark moment of her existence.
Whether it was the random massacres, the abuse of peaceful spirits, the many sacrifices for their agendas, and many more heinous acts; everything was being studied and placed on the scales, favoring the side of the seven sins.
As for her virtues? They were there, but slim to none, causing the scale not to budge an inch. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
No one was really surprised by this result as the three rulers chased after their desires like no one else, not caring about the aftermath or collateral damage as long as their goal was reached.
In almost no time, the judgment was complete.
Everyone figured as much after seeing seven holy white nails and seven wicked black nails emerging from each symbol.
Whosh!! Whosh! Whosh!..
Still taken aback by the whole situation, Medusa could only watch as the first holy nail shot toward her right hand, and pierced her wrist until half of it came from the other side of the cross!
"Argh...This can't be happening..."
Medusa couldn't help but groan in pain, causing disbelief to paint her expression as she didn't expect for a second that anything could cause her pain besides the celestial chains!
The pain of the three rulers differed from mortals or even unigins.
For the three rulers, who could control their bodies perfectly, nothing could cause them pain besides the universe.
This meant she was truly being judged by the universe and not Asna!!
This changed everything as she knew what the universe was capable of and she had no interest in waiting to find her final judgement!
Cling!!
The second holy nail landed on her left wrist, causing her expression to twist after the pain doubled.
'Ymir! Amun! How long are you planning to watch?' She chided her peers.
Alas, no one was responding to her call.
Cling!!
The third nail pierced through her tightened feet at the bottom, making her feel like she was glued to a wall.
But, Medusa ignored the pain and discomfort, focusing on her radio-silent peers.
'Ymir? Amun?'
Still nothing.
Seeing the confused look on her face, Asna couldn't help but snicker in ridicule. But, she said nothing to expose their plan.
She just kept watching as Medusa was pinned to the cross by a nail of each symbol. She knew this meant that Medusa had failed in the test of each sin and virtue!
After all, just because someone wasn't being a bad person, it didn't mean that he was a good person.
Medusa gasped as the last nail finally pierced her heart, making her feel like she was truly being burned on a cross!
If she had immunity to seven sins or seven virtues, this might end differently, but alas, those immunites could be obtained only through wishes.
In other words, the universe had to hand them down for a price since their laws' existence wasn't meant to be accessed.
After all, they were the seven longings and seven virtues of the universe's consciousness, they belonged to him and participated in defining his being.
If other rules were needed for the cosmos to function and survive, those laws were personal.
As Eris and the tenants watched Medusa lashing out in anger, trying to escape the crucification and the celestial chains, they couldn't help but think that the universe consciousness had this exact moment in mind when he decided to extract the seven sins and seven virtues out of his body!
"Nothing works on the three sovereigns besides those laws and celestial powers." Eris murmured, "Did he know that Asna and Felix had no chance to win against the three rulers without those laws since they would be outclassing them in celestial mastery? Or was it just one big coincidence?"
Although she was the unigin of chaos and believed in the existence of randomness and coincidences, in this very particular topic, she was 90% certain that it was planned out...
This continued to freak her out as it made her understand the immense length the universe's consciousness had to go through for the sake of planning for this very exact moment.
'What entity or event can push him to this extent in his domain, his own home?'
With the thought of outsiders being more real than ever, this notion can scare off anyone, even the three rulers...
Speaking about them, Medusa was seen calling for her partners both telepathically and mentally with their wisps.
When she was ignored again, her fears intensified to the point she didn't hesitate to enter her mind and seek out direct contact with her partners.
"You bastards!! Are you forcing me to beg?!" She cursed furiously.
Ymir and Amun-Ra turned around in surprise, not expecting her to show up before them while in the middle of the fight.
"What are you doing here?" Amun-Ra raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" Ymir frowned.
When Medusa saw their reactions, she knew that something was wrong. With a single glance at the reflection of their pupils, she was stunned to witness a whole different scene going outside.
A chill coursed down her spine immediately, making her feel like a prey captured in a well-crafted trap.
This made her realize that time wasn't in her favor at all, making her switch her focus to her wisps within both Amun-Ra and Ymir and ask for their help directly!
Alas, just as she was about to do it, she heard Asna's echo reverberate in her ears with bone-chilling coldness after instantly teleporting before her face.
"Now, it's time for our judgment."
As the last word was etched in her mind, Medusa blinked and found Felix a mere inches away from her visage with the most diabolical sinister smile ever.
Yet, she didn't gaze at him for long as she was assaulted by a sudden sharp torment in her chest.
When she lowered her head slowly, she came to witness Felix's arm piercing through her chest and grasping tightly into her celestial heart.
"Don't mind me, I am just retrieving my core back." Felix whispered with a cold smile.
