Chapter 649: Chapter 79: Three-Way Fork in the Road (Part 2)
Igri Saba took a step forward, leaning against the barrier of the defendant’s stand, with a mocking expression, declaring: "You want to judge me? What qualifies you to judge me? You ignorant heretics! Heretics who should have repented at the Holy Inquisition! You’re not even worthy to look me in the eye!! And you want to judge me!? Apart from my Lord! Who among you is qualified!?
What profession? Date of birth? Place of birth? You wretched creatures who crown yourselves! What qualifications do you have? You aspire to judge a Holy Coffin Knight... you might as well ask about your own death! I can give you the exact time!"
"..."
The Chief Judge heard this, his eyelid twitched.
Indeed, he’d never heard of any Holy Coffin Knight.
But as a judge of a basic judicial body, it was indeed the first time he’d seen... such an arrogant defendant.
Meanwhile.
Tang Language heard these words, and the worry in her heart instantly turned to anger.
She suddenly lifted her pale arm, delivering a fierce elbow strike directly onto Igri Saba’s back.
Igri Saba staggered forward.
Xiang Yi followed closely, holding his head and slammed it hard against the defendant’s stand.
Bang—
The Chief Judge’s eyelid twitched again.
"Hehe..."
Igri Saba was forced to bend over, his head pressed against the defendant’s stand, his face showing a pained expression, but he still managed to laugh: "You will all die... when the door is pushed open again, Hecate will appear outside the door.
This ridiculous trial ceremony of yours cannot be successful... or do you really believe that Chen Lusi can withstand your country’s Old Era High-level Empowerers? Hahaha, by now the backbone members of your Celestial Strategy Mansion are probably almost all dead!
Chen Lusi might well be kneeling and begging for mercy!
And even if you really did withstand your country’s Old Era High-level Empowerers, so what? Hecate, Hecate... in early Greek mythology, this name represented the sky, earth, and sea, and later represented the darker side of the world!
Hehehe... She is an irresistible goddess of death, invincible, unmatched empress, creator and administrator of Hell, goddess of sorcery, witchcraft, curses, and witches.
Now... She is still the most high-ranking god in your Kunlun Pantheon! Do you think Chen Lusi can withstand Her? Just because Chen Lusi said ’believe me,’ you really believed it? Hahaha."
"..."
Xiang Yi’s face changed suddenly upon hearing this.
She had of course heard of the name Hecate.
This was the highest responsible figure of the Roman Catholic Church in the East.
Her expression changed not because of this name, but because hearing Igri Saba personally admit that Hecate had become the highest god of the Kunlun Divine System!
Chen Lusi and Ji Xin had merely speculated!
Now Igri Saba, a prisoner, declared this fact so firmly, the implications are self-evident.
She looked towards the exit again, this time truly a bit unsettled.
Only.
She just planned to take action.
Tang Language took over, suddenly grabbing Igri Saba’s hair, lifting him forcefully then slamming him down again!
Bang—
"I believe in Chen Lusi."
Tang Language’s fair little face tightened: "No matter what you say, I believe him. Even if you make grand speeches now, the prosecution will proceed. No matter what, you, this Holy Coffin Knight, will be sentenced to death by the law of the Human World, and the outcome will not change.
You will become the first Holy Coffin Knight to be sentenced and executed! You will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame! I, Tang Language, although slightly dull of mind, will ensure this happens!
Chief Judge! Zhou Jian! Please continue!"
Hearing these words.
Xiang Yi was momentarily dumbfounded.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Jian took a deep breath... his face was dark as he began reading the indictment directly.
"Hehehe."
Igri Saba didn’t mind at all, turned his head with difficulty, glancing again in the direction of the exit, still sneering: "You all can follow procedures till the end, haha..."
His words echoed.
Inside the courtroom.
The atmosphere was stagnant.
...
At the same time.
Outside.
Chen Lusi was certainly not as Igri Saba had anticipated, kneeling and begging for mercy.
And... the backbone members of Celestial Strategy Mansion were not gravely injured or killed either.
In fact.
Until this moment.
Celestial Strategy Mansion had not suffered a single death.
Just that the atmosphere was somewhat... strange.
Under the sunlight.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Chen Lusi who was carrying a head.
And everyone who saw this scene fell into a kind of bizarre silence.
Not only because Chen Lusi really completed a fight against seven and won... and not only because of Chen Lusi’s domineering and cutting remark ’Do you have anything else to teach me?’
But it was everything Chen Lusi did... ever since appearing, everything done in facing those Old Era High-level Empowerers seemed to hit something deep inside almost everyone.
As for what the specifics were, what exactly struck them, for a moment... it was difficult for everyone to summarize.
But it was foreseeable.
In the coming years, or even decades, this slightly gruesome scene will be etched deeply in their minds.
As long as they see Chen Lusi... they will recall it.
Bang—
An Advanced Empowerer has vitality more resilient than imagined.
Even if the head was cut off, even if blood was spurting from the severed neck.
That Old Era High-level Empowerer still maintained a standing posture.
The characteristic of most souls residing within Stone, the attachment to life, held him.
But simultaneously extended his agony.
When seeing Wu Bin frozen, shivering all over.
He seemed to finally accept the reality.
