Suddenly, ambiguous thoughts started to flash past Jacob’s mind at a terrifying rate...
’Is obedience justice?
’Is annihilation necessary?
’Is survival a virtue?
’Is killing evil?
’Is helping soone necessary?’
Although those thoughts were random, they questioned Jacob’s morality and seed to be empowering the Scales of Justice to pass judgnt on Whiteness.
But Jacob remained calm as all those thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning bolts because, despite his twisted ntality over the years, deep down he still holds the beliefs of his old world and knows everything he had done and is doing was nothing short of the work of a devil!
Yet despite all of this, he embraced everything because it was all for Immortality, which ans Jacob also considered himself evil and in no way sought salvation by putting false beliefs in his mind!
The mont the Scales of Justice connected with Jacob’s beliefs and values, his Cursed Heart pulsed at a terrifying speed, and more Infinity Blood started to course through his bones before burning through the Scales.
Jacob didn’t obstruct the burning of the Infinity Blood because Immortika had already revealed everything, and maybe for this exact reason, the Cursed Book even bothered to explain all of it.
At that mont, Jacob’s answer was silent, but absolute, and the Scales started to tilt, not violently or dramatically, but just enough.
The infinity-marked pan dipped, while the other rose, and an indistinct ethereal sound echoed...
"Judgnt in progress!"
Whiteness, who seed to have been frozen on his spot, was horrified when that voice sounded because he seed to know exactly what this implied. He had never thought that one day he would experience the Arch Justice Human Race’s legendary law ability personally!
He stared in horror as sothing he had never experienced began to take effect. The next mont, his perfect, terrifying physique grew heavier, but not physically; existentially!
His movents slowed by fractions. However, the most terrifying part was that at that mont, his Null Void Law faltered, not sealed, or erased, but weighed down, dragged toward Jacob’s level by an invisible verdict!
"Who!? Show yourself, do you want to offend the Supre One!?"
Whiteness hissed, panic seeping through his once-absolute certainty, and he finally started to use threat because he knew if this ability wasn’t stopped, it wouldn’t be the ’Heretic’ who perished here.
Furthermore, the things he had learned today were simply too shocking, and if they were spread, the entire Higher Plains would be stirred.
Even if Whiteness perished today, he needed to report back to the Supre One because the Heretic’s backer was none other than a hidden remnant of the Arch Justice Human race.
But there seed to be no way out, and he still hadn’t killed the Heretic, and now that ’hidden’ existence had used this terrifying innate law ability of the Arch Justice Human Race.
Lastly, Whiteness was so indulged in his own delusion about the ’hidden existence’ that he didn’t even notice Jacob’s Eyes of Judge, and even if he had, he couldn’t identify them because even among the Arch Justice Human Race, they were a rarity among rarities, a myth among the Arch Justice Human Race’s royal bloodline!
Whiteness has only general knowledge of the Arch Justice Human Race’s abilities, but has no idea of their origin, and the ancient clan has been extinct for so long that many have forgotten about them.
Nonetheless, according to Immortika, the Eyes of Judge is one of the twelve ancient and most powerful optical eye abilities of the Zodiac Plains, and it also ranked among the top three among the twelve, so Whiteness couldn’t see through them even if he had knowledge about the Eyes of Judge.
On the other hand, Jacob stood unmoving, skeletal fra bathed in the cold glow of judgnt as his glyph-like eyes burned steadily.
He didn’t show curiosity or fear about the background of Whiteness because he knew everything, but he didn’t gloat either because it wasn’t over.
After all, despite putting Whiteness at bay and titling the Scales of Justice in Jacob’s favor, the final verdict was still withheld, which ant the chance of backlash remained.
Right now, the situation was on a knife-edge. If the Scales deed Whiteness not guilty, Jacob would not only lose his lifespan but also suffer backlash and lose the law’s ability, the Scales of Justice, forever.
At that mont, Jacob would be at Whiteness’s rcy.
However, if the Scales of Justice tipped further, then even a Higher Law God would be forced to kneel.
At that mont, Whiteness the Void Mantis realized sothing terrifying: this was a Law that dared to judge gods, and the verdict was still forming!
Right at this mont, the Scales of Justice trembled from completion, and the humming chains of cause and intent between the two pans grew taut, vibrating with a low, cosmic resonance that spread across the Infinite Space like a funeral bell tolling for an immortal existence.
Thereafter, the infinity-marked pan descended with inevitability, and the opposing pan rose in silent concession.
A sound echoed again with no voice, no language, yet every layer of existence understood it with perfect clarity.
Whiteness almost forgot how to speak, and Jacob listened with subtle anticipation...
"Verdict Rendered...
"You have been judged...GUILTY!"
The mont the verdict crystallized, the Infinite Space convulsed as a terrifying pressure erupted from the Scales of Justice, far surpassing suppression, sealing, or authority.
This was not power exerted upon Whiteness, for this was judgnt imposed within.
The Scales blazed, and the cracked infinity symbol upon the lowered pan ignited with pale, rciless radiance, its fractured lines glowing as if countless eternities were awakening at once.
"No! This is...this is impossible...!"
Whiteness shrieked at that mont because he felt exactly what was happening, but his voice fragnted, distorted, losing cohesion as if truth itself was tearing it apart.
The hexagonal sigil above his crown spun wildly, emitting shrill ripples of Null Void Law in a desperate attempt to stabilize, but it was already too late for the Scales answered.
At this mont, from the Scale of Justice’s obsidian-white fras, chains erged!
