"The court is now in session!"
While banging the gavel, the long-bearded old man turned his gaze towards the pixies.
"Who's going to record the trial?"
A tall pixie replied: "I'll do it!"
"Do you know what to do?" the long-bearded old man asked.
"Of course, I know how to write 596 different languages, 328 of which I've won an award" the tall pixie replied.
The long-bearded old man nodded: "Very well, then do you know what rules you need to follow as a court clerk?"
"Of course, I'll report it to you right now"
The tall pixie was already prepared and swung the short stick in his hand.
Poof!
A large green book with several thousand pages appeared in front of everyone.
This book silently hovered in the air, thicker than any of the pixies.
The tall pixie cleared his throat, flipped to the first page of the green book, and began to read the words on it:
"A court clerk, mainly responsible for recording the proceedings of the Tribunal, as well as handling supporting matters related to the trial, such as preparing for the trial, keeping evidence, organizing files, processing documents …"
He continued to ramble on.
The long-bearded old man yawned, laid down on the table, and prepared to take a nap.
The Past Kings shouted: "What's going on? Aren't we supposed to interrogate it? "
The long-bearded old man pulled out a colorful blanket from somewhere and covered himself with it, explaining: "This gavel of ours is only used to judge, not to kill. To kill, we need something else, but that thing probably wouldn't be able to kill such a powerful Divinity"
The Past Kings froze, then couldn't help but ask: "Then wouldn't this trial be meaningless?"
"How would it be meaningless?" The long-bearded old man glared at him and said: "Once the gavel falls, it won't be able to escape, nor will it be able to kill anyone, it will only be trapped here"
"Once Gu Qing Shan's battle is over, it will still be trapped here, unable to move — — we'll deal with it at that time"
The Past Kings remained silent for a bit, then continued: "How long can this trial last?"
The old man pointed at the tall pixie who was reading from the book and replied: "Once he finishes reading this [Green Book of Rules and Regulations for Court Clerks], it will take about 2 hours"
"So we can only drag it out for 2 hours?"
"Of course — no."
The long-bearded old man smirked and proudly shook his head: "A court hearing requires the presiding judge, the court clerk, the judge, the jury, the bailiff, the plaintiff, the plaintiff's defense, the defendant's defense, the prosecutor, the witness, the audience, and so on, each and every one of them has to come up and read"
The past kings were stunned.
He looked around and saw that many pixies had thick green books in front of them.
The Past Kings continued: "That's why — — when these people finish reading — —"
The long-bearded old man continued: "After everyone has finished reading, of course it will be the trial. Regarding the trial, everyone can express their own opinions, and it won't be a problem until the end of the world"
The previous kings were stunned for a moment before they murmured, "No wonder they say that fairies are hard to deal with …"
The God of Life, who was originally listening quietly, began to struggle madly.
It released countless black tentacles, waving all kinds of spells in all directions.
But it was no use.
No matter what he did, he was unable to leave the void.
It was exiled to another Void World, unable to move or leave, and could only wait for the trial to end.
After realizing this, the God of Life suddenly laughed maniacally and shouted: 『Do you really think mortals can defeat Gods? How laughable!』
『When the Soul Shrieker and Magic Dragon kill that mortal, it will be time for all of you to die!』
『At that time, I will devour every single one of you!』
Silence reigned.
No one paid any attention to him.
The long-bearded old man had already crawled under his blanket and was snoring away.
The other pixies all began to play around in the void, holding banquets, garden parties, concerts, and even some pixies were preparing for their wedding.
Only the tall pixie remained standing there, sneaking glances at his playful companions while muttering with a bitter expression: "Ah, about that, the second rule, you are mainly responsible for organizing the case's materials, binding the case files, as well as other related tasks …"
…
At another location.
The world of the Spire.
This was the headquarters of the Spire Keeper Association, filled with countless knowledge and secret techniques. It was vast and boundless, roughly the size of 7-8 normal worlds.
The faint sounds of fighting and shouting could be heard, as well as the fluctuations of countless spells carried by the wind. In this world, the stabilizing techniques that the wizards of the Spire had set up were slowly being broken.
The footsteps of destruction were approaching — — -
An era was about to end.
Boom!
At the end of the horizon, the Spire of Knowledge that connected heaven and earth abruptly broke apart and slowly collapsed.
The earth trembled.
Countless specks of dust were kicked into the air following the fall of the Spire, drifting all over the place.
At the same time.
At the farthest corner of the world.
Black fog descended from above. A ship appeared from within the fog.
Following that, countless Professionists descended. They were densely packed, surrounding the ship and filling up the ground.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Where are we now?
Weren't we supposed to fight against [Chaos]? What should we do now?
The ship opened.
Boss, Bali, Anna, and the rest flew out and stood on the ship.
Anna carried a long-handled scythe that was burning in black flames on her shoulder and looked at everyone:
"Everyone, listen to me, we have returned to the moment of the Spire's destruction"
"The battle will soon begin, please prepare yourselves!"
The people who followed the three coins to this world were all stirred up.
The moment of the Spire's destruction.
The moment of lady Black Sea's death.
One Professionist couldn't help but ask: "What should we do now? Save the Spire? Or save lady Black Sea? "
All of a sudden, a high-pitched female voice resounded from afar: "Living beings created by the Gods, you know nothing of despair"
A frenzied male voice followed: "Your only value is the nutrients contained within your souls!"
A high-decibel chant erupted from both the male and female voices at the same time: "Souls! Offer your souls to me, ah — — – "
Everyone's expression changed.
This was the Deity of [Chaos]'s invincible technique, capable of absorbing the souls of all living beings!
"It's fine!"
The girl loudly called out.
She placed a 7-colored shield in front of herself and activated its power.
The shield gave off a blinding light that enveloped everyone within.
— — -the Sage-Protector, Soul Protection Barrier!
Amidst the piercing howl that pierced through the entire world, everyone was unharmed.
The Professionists all cheered!
"Unbelievable, I'm still alive!"
"I'm most afraid of this technique, there's no way around it"
"If I can stop the soul absorption, I'm willing to fight against it until the very last moment!"
"That's great!"
With a treasure that could stop the soul absorption, the greatest fear in everyone's mind was dispelled.
While everyone was cheering, the piercing howl suddenly stopped.
A sea of blue radiance swept over from the distant horizon.
The man and woman's shrill screams stopped, and then they roared furiously:
「 Who! Who dared to interrupt my meal!? 」
A female voice sighed from the boundless void of space.
Lady Black Sea.
At the moment when everyone on the battlefield was about to die, she appeared.
This is the moment!
Anna tightly held the 7-colored shield in her hand and loudly declared: "Everyone, charge! We're going to save lady Black Sea! "
Everyone loudly responded.
The current Soul Shrieker still hadn't achieved Apotheosis, so it wasn't as strong as it was during the Era of [Chaos].
Its strongest soul absorption technique was countered by the shield.
So this was indeed the best chance to kill it!
With that in mind, the Professionists' fighting spirit surged from their bodies.
"It's time for revenge" someone muttered.
"Kill it"
"It's the source of the calamity"
"Let's go!"
With the airship in front, the Professionists followed closely behind. The soldiers who came from the future were flying towards the battlefield at full speed.
Meow stood on the airship with a hesitant expression.
"Will this work? I'm still a bit worried "
Anna tightly held the 7-colored shield in her hand and replied: "Don't worry, everything is going according to Gu Qing Shan's calculations, there shouldn't be any issues"
Boss also said: "There's already a Soul Shrieker on the battlefield, so the Soul Shrieker from our era wouldn't dare to show up. Because as soon as it does, the Law of Time would immediately erase one of them to ensure that the entire timeline and events of history wouldn't be altered"
Jang Young-ho also said: "That's right, the Deity of [Chaos] wouldn't dare to show up on the battlefield!"
"Unless it's willing to take a gamble and see which one of them will survive"
The group quickly entered the battlefield.
The Soul Shrieker was standing still — — - in front of it, within the boundless blue light, a woman's figure could be faintly seen.
The woman sighed:
『「 Today, I will die, but not by being eaten by you』」
"Wait! Lady Black Sea, we've come to help you! "Jang Young-ho shouted.
Lady Black Sea abruptly turned around.
The self-destructive power on her body had been temporarily suppressed.
"You are — –"
Lady Black Sea looked at the Professionists in the sky and hesitantly asked.
Anna raised the 7-colored shield in her hand and loudly declared: "Lady Black Sea, we have a way to stop its soul-sucking ability!"
Both Lady Black Sea and the Soul Shrieker's gazes turned towards the shield.
The Soul Shrieker suddenly displayed a strange expression.
Its male voice spoke: 「 So there really were people who returned from time travel this time 」
Its female voice replied: 「 Staying here will only hinder my future self and prevent the Era of [Chaos] from completing the final piece of the puzzle 」
The male voice continued: 「 In accordance with the information we sent earlier, the battlefield will be left to my future self 」
The female voice replied: 「 Indeed, let's go! 」
The Soul Shrieker waved its hand to open a gate of light and slowly entered.
The gate of light slowly faded away.
Its figure didn't reappear.
— — -it really left.
Everyone froze.
All of a sudden, the sky was shrouded by a layer of black fog.
Within the vortex of black fog, two gigantic figures slowly became clear.
In the blink of an eye, they descended from above and landed in front of everyone.
The Soul Shrieker.
Magic Dragon.
The Soul Shrieker took a step forward and spoke with its high-pitched female voice: 『「 You dare to use such childish tricks to stop this Deity?』」
The boundless power of [Chaos] continued to rise from its body.
The void tide created by this great power alone was enough to send quite a few people flying.
Everyone's hearts sank.
The Soul Shrieker looked at everyone with a mocking expression.
It shouted with its tyrannical male voice:
『「 Today, all of you shall remain here, no one shall escape the fate of death!』」
