"You dare to slaughter my devout believers and insult the hammer of judgment! You deserve to die!"

The three judges immediately rushed forward, and Guido, wielding a sledgehammer, moved with incredible speed, showing no signs of the limitations imposed by his large size and heavy weaponry.

call!

The blood-soaked judge charged forward with fervor, wielding his hammer with both hands, and was the first to launch a heavy heretical trial against the enemy.

Boom!

Du Jue, showing no sign of weakness, swung his massive hammer. The two hammerheads collided, instantly generating a large number of sparks, along with a surge of colorless and odorless death energy.

"Uhhhhhh!"

To the surprise of all the nail and hammer judges, the three who charged first all let out heart-wrenching screams, and the first judge, covered in blood, even dropped his judgment hammer.

The murderous intent and rage that had been suppressed in his heart for so long could no longer be concealed under the torment of death's pain.

clang!

The judge's heavy helmet, adorned with a large cross, was struck violently, and blood splattered from the peephole. He immediately collapsed to his knees, bathed in his own blood, and fell silent.

Du Jue disdainfully threw away the large hammer and picked up the even larger one that the other had dropped, a scene that shocked the other judges and ignited their boundless rage.

How could this guy possibly lift our hammer so easily?!

"Unforgivable! A baptism of spikes must be brought down!"

Guido, who came with a huge spike, quickly advanced and raised his hand to pierce Du Jue's body. Then he finally realized the excruciating pain that the three of them had just experienced, and his movements stopped abruptly.

"This is noble suffering!"

Even though the trajectory of his swing was distorted, Guido still unexpectedly slammed the long nail into Du Jue's chest.

To stop suppressing the groan in his throat, he immediately released the other hammer, gripped the handle tightly with both hands, and his strong resilience allowed him to swing the super-large hammer, which was like a kinetic energy cannonball, with all his might in an instant.

Bang!

The long nail that Guido was holding was instantly knocked away by Du Jue's heavy hammer. The terrifying metal kinetic energy projectile instantly pierced through a wailing judge behind him. The spike brutally squeezed in through the helmet's peephole, and a large amount of flesh was squeezed out through the peephole at the same time.

His wails disappeared along with his life.

Guido, who quickly retreated, keenly sensed that the pain of death had just vanished rapidly. He immediately realized that the opponent's ability had a distance limit, and hurriedly reminded the other judges.

"Holy Hammer! Heed my command!!!"

Whoosh!

The massive hammer, which Guido had been hurling with a terrifying whoosh, interrupted his commands. Guido tried desperately to dodge to the side in horror, but his right shoulder was still struck hard, and even his armor cracked.

"heresy!!"

Guido never imagined that the hammer of judgment, designed to shatter gold and iron, would one day fall upon him; his rage to prevent blasphemy had surpassed all other emotions.

Even Kromer, the one in charge of this operation, stood dumbfounded next to the display board, not understanding who the newcomer was. In his surprise, he didn't even notice the little girl who had secretly run away.

In a single exchange, he effortlessly killed two judges, and even the experienced Guido the Hammer was repelled.

However, Cromer showed no fear or trepidation in the face of such a ferocious visitor, only letting out a burst of unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

"You dare to block the path of nails and hammer? No one has the right to interfere with my journey to the future of judgment!"

Ignoring Guido's earlier warning, Kromer immediately gave the order.

"Kill this sinful heretic on the spot!"

Chapter 93 Flower Market.

"you."

The lead-gray figure spoke for the first time since his appearance, immediately drawing everyone's attention. The judges, who had gradually returned from the town, also solemnly approached Kromer.

Kromer gripped the long nail in his hand, his gaze toward Du Jue filled with mockery and cruelty.

"It's not like you can just pay a fine and leave now. You coward, stand here and repent!"

With a wave of her hand, the four hammer-wielding men cautiously surrounded her.

Du Jue remained completely still, not making any movement, even dropping the large hammer he was holding, which had just been placed on the ground, because the Death Tattoo had just been filled.

"Pain is unique. Trying to gain sympathy from others will only turn it into a mundane trouble, making you and yourself insignificant."

"Too many people despise their own mediocrity, seek their individuality in others, and consider themselves worthless. However, there is something that is unique no matter what."

With a furrowed brow, Kromer couldn't quite figure out the leaden figure's intentions. He quickly signaled Guido, who was clutching his right shoulder, to be on high alert. He suddenly regretted not wearing the special armor made of spikes and hammers this time, and was only wearing a plain school uniform.

What exactly is the other person here for? Does he have a prosthetic body? And what is he saying now?

"At least the pain of death is never exactly the same for two people. Please join me in savoring this art of life in full bloom."

"Kill him quickly!"

Cromer abruptly raised her hand, about to throw the long nail at Du Jue. Even though Du Jue was speaking slowly and deliberately, she felt increasingly anxious and could no longer bear it.

An aura of death spread out.

The large open space at the entrance of the town was instantly filled with a gray atmosphere, as if it were the dark miasma of a withered earth.

"Ugh!!!"

"Cleanse! Sin!!!"

"It's just a necessary test!"

Almost instantly, everyone except Du Jue knelt on the ground, and many people even hugged themselves and rolled around frantically through their armor.

The desperate cries that echoed throughout Kafka immediately filled all the townspeople with terror. One by one, the lights in the night were extinguished, and the doors and windows were sealed shut.

Kill all the nails and hammers!

Having endured the agony of death, I've already learned how to continue fighting: by leaving myself with only one thought and forcing my body to act according to its resilience.

He reached out and grabbed the sledgehammer on the ground.

Kromer had never felt pain could be so tangible, it was like magma pouring into her head. Her frantic screams almost contorted her face, and she immediately widened her eyes when she saw that Du Jue was still able to move.

"Kyu!!"

As the one in charge of this operation, Cromer tried desperately to give orders, but the last word she managed to utter turned into a venting howl.

Boom!

As Du Judgment smashed the judge's head and helmet together with a sledgehammer, the intensity of the agony of death increased once again. Cromer, who had just gotten up, knelt down again in despair, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the leaden figure.

"Execution! Continue!!!"

Amidst the escalating agony of death, Guido, gripping the long nail, miraculously managed to stand up, jolting the dazed Du Jue awake.

This extreme pain, affecting both mind and body, triggers the body's self-protective instincts. Even someone with an iron will will experience physiological spasms. How could this guy, who has no resilience, still be able to move?!

After executing more than a dozen judges in succession, Du Jue could no longer bear the wailing and swung his hammer at Guido, who was staggering toward him.

thump.

Suppressing the urge to smash his own head and proceed with the execution, he vaguely noticed Guido getting up again; this guy's vitality was too tenacious.

"Interrogation!!!"

This time, Guido was prevented from being knocked down by the long, horizontally slashing nails, but he was too weak from the pain to pursue and had to catch his breath for a while before continuing forward.

Suddenly, the two turned the battle into an extremely long, turn-based match, with no spectators and no breaks. The others, including Cromer, were already delirious from the torment of death.

clang!

The white helmet was smashed to pieces by Du Jue's hammer. Guido's face was covered with green, transparent tubes that looked like they were crawling with countless green earthworms, making him look disgusting and uncomfortable. The liquid inside was all too familiar to Du Jue—Regenerating Ampoules!

Du Jue turned away with a sinister grin, ignoring Guido who was getting up.

"what!!!"

The remaining judges took the agony of death to another level, and even Guido could not stop convulsing, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up against the iron nails.

Bang! ! !

The heavy hammer blow instantly shattered Guido's teeth, nasal bone, and the fluid channels on his face, causing the fluid to leak out immediately.

Do not pick up a long nail, aim it at Guido who is desperately trying to stand up, and swing the sledgehammer while howling in pain.

"heresy!"

Tear!

The head, covered in countless soft tubes, was instantly pierced by the iron nail. Guido's head drooped limply, and the fanatic's corpse remained standing in place, leaning against the iron nail.

Du Jue immediately began to contract the death energy, and fortunately, the number of judges was limited and no townspeople caused trouble, so the death energy that brought the terrifying screams crawled back into the body.

"Ugh!"

There was no time to rest, and he even deliberately left the last one for himself!

Kromer's unfocused eyes focused slightly as Du Jue arrived, and her lips parted slightly.

"Lead Gray... Symphony"

puff!

The pain of having her right eye socket shattered by a nail left Kromer unresponsive; she had been numbed by the prolonged agony. However, seeing Du Jue raise the sledgehammer in her left eye brought back her terror.

"Me, my future, and more."

Boom!

The terrifying iron nail was smashed down by the hammer and violently rammed into Kromer's head, instantly causing brain matter mixed with bodily fluids to overflow from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

Looking around, the open space was filled with gruesome corpses with their heads smashed and nailed to the ground, the crude methods completely incomparable to the cybernetic cyborgs nailed to the exhibition panels.

Despite being physically and mentally exhausted, Du Jue still mustered his spirits and cut off the heads of several judges, putting them into the status quo preservation box.

Du Jue slowly walked towards Sinclair's house, leaning on his long nails. There were no eyes around, but he could hear faint sobs, followed by scolding, and then complete silence.

"Holy crap! The cyborgs from Company K are incredibly durable!"

He fumbled for the light switch, then lay down on the blood-stained sofa and sighed deeply. He looked at the mangled corpse of the man next to him and pushed it to the ground with some disgust.

Du Jue originally intended to rest for a while before leaving, but when he saw the communicator in his pocket vibrating incessantly, he immediately realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Pick up the phone and answer it.

"Did you get it sorted out? The flower market here is about to open."

How could I forget about Yuna?!

"Well, I thought Kafka Town was too far away and I was too lazy to go. I just had a sudden idea to get some souvenirs from the Nest to bring back to my friends."

"Bringing hidden weapons as souvenirs? You sound so unreliable. You must have gone to Kafka Town, right?"

Having just engaged in a fierce battle, Du Jue was a little out of sync with Yuna's train of thought and hesitated, unsure how to respond.

"But when you saw a red-light district that was much more upscale than the back alley, you completely forgot about the souvenirs and such."

"Damn it! Yuna-senpai, what are you doing?!"

"Do you think I don't know what you young people are thinking? Running such a short distance can make a fifth-tier finisher like you so tired. By the way, did you even go to Kafka Town? You might not make it to the flower market from there."

"Ahem, Senior Yuna, please keep this a secret. I'm already on my way and I'll definitely make it in time."

"Don't worry, you'll just miss the opening ceremony at worst, so let's leave it at that."

Du Jue immediately dragged his exhausted body off his lead-gray combat uniform, grabbed his backpack, and hurriedly left.

Before Guido could cool down completely, Du Jue quickly pulled out his tube and sucked on it. Although it tasted disgusting, the regenerating ampoule's effect was undeniable.

Even though he was an enemy, someone with such unwavering will that he could fight back, Du Jue still left his head on the corpse.

To avoid deviating from Kafka Town, I hurriedly ran towards the flower market.

Chapter 94 Tail Spot.

A motorcycle came to an abrupt stop on the sidewalk, leaving behind dark tire tracks, and people around immediately looked over.

Du Jue hurriedly jumped off the borrowed motorcycle and rushed away before being caught.
