Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 522 Looking Up to the Sky, Unafraid

Before the world's eyes, Trensoust pronounced judgment on the sins of the fallen God.

No one expected that Trensust, who was usually the most honest, low-key, and stable person, would strike a fatal blow against the fallen God at this moment.

It seems that... Trensault's relatively smooth and uneventful life somewhat concealed his true character. After all, he switched from the Black Emperor path to the Judge path. If he were truly honest, he wouldn't have been able to reach Sequence 2 through the rule-manipulating lawyer path.

This sword strike is guaranteed to hit.

Despite being on guard as the show was about to end, Fallen God and Mr. Door were still successfully ambushed by Trensust.

This is also a characteristic of the judge's approach: when faced with a guilty person who violates the order, the subsequent pursuit and trial will inevitably succeed.

Even if this is an irregular process of acting first and informing later, killing people first, then judging them, and then adding subsequent additional punishments.

But this is reasonable under the operation of the judge in sequence 0.

After all, the fallen God has already violated the order... As for what order he violated?

Perhaps His very existence is a trampling on the order of the real world, or perhaps the destruction caused by the fallen God just happened to affect some places on the border of the Terensost Empire. In any case, none of these matters. What matters is the true judgment that the Judge brings.

Before this, in order to calm the Fallen God down and make him more obedient, Mr. Door had taken some measures to temporarily alleviate the Fallen God's mental state. Specifically, he sealed the door and added the balance of the Judge's path. By slightly separating the authorities of "Incarnation of Filth," "Darkness," and "Fallen Self," he allowed the Fallen God, who was in the pitch-black island of his mind, to regain some of his sanity.

Now, the portion of power that Mr. Men left in the Fallen God—the power of the Judgement Path Sequence 2 Balancer—is being utilized by Trensust. The strength of the true god of the Judgement Path lies in utilizing and reinforcing existing rules; this is the most fundamental skill among fundamental skills.

Trensust transitioned from Sequence 1 of the Black Emperor pathway to Sequence 0 of the Judge pathway. Although the characteristics of Black Emperor Sequence 1 were lost, he never expelled the characteristics of Black Emperor Sequence 2. Now, with the blessing of his position, a special distortion effect, almost like that released by the Black Emperor himself, is acting on the Fallen God.

Within the Fallen God, the authorities of “Darkness,” “Fallen Self,” “Incarnation of Filth,” and “Mutation”—these dark or corrupted paths—were not separated but merged together in an instant. If such a thing happened to other Sequence 0s, nothing would happen.

But this is a fallen God.

If the fallen God had been able to calm down and control his emotions immediately, it wouldn't have had such a significant impact.

However, the fallen God, who had clearly not provoked anyone and had finally calmed down and was about to finish his work, severely wounded Terence, with whom he had no prior grudge, and so openly announced His sins, wanting to judge Him, and had already begun to judge Him.

The anchor of reason in the mind of the fallen God has completely exploded!

"Trentost!"

With the immense rage of this great being, a surging black tide instantly expanded from the direction of the Hornachis Mountains towards the Terensost Empire, instantly casting shadows over the entire Terensost. As for the promised severe injury...

It was merely a poke from another true god. Such an injury was nothing compared to the Fallen God, who wielded the power of mutation and possessed the indestructible nature of flesh and blood. The only effect was that the Fallen God's reason evaporated, and He almost disregarded all unspoken rules, heading straight for the purpose of venting His anger.

"Light!"

Whether it was a sigh or something else, a golden sun rose from the sky that had been shrouded in the black tide.

A howling wind suddenly arose, and the terrifying hurricane automatically moved westward, blowing the rapidly engulfing black tide to a more distant part of the sky.

Almost instantly, a handsome young man in white robes and blond hair, and a dignified middle-aged man in armor carrying a trident appeared. The two forcibly dragged the mad, fallen God toward the spirit world and into the astral realm.

This is not because the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms unconditionally support Trensost. They did support Trensost before, but things are different now. After all, they cannot really watch the Fallen God, in his madness, give the earth's population a severe haircut, just as he did at the end of the Third Age.

Eighty percent of the followers of the Eternal Sun Church and the Church of the Lord of Storms are now in the Ternsost Empire.

This is a loss we really can't afford.

What made the two gods even more desperate was that, faced with the cursing and utterly deranged Fallen God, the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms, these two gods, who were well-suited to their respective fields and possessed formidable fighting power, were actually showing signs of being unable to stop him.

Trensust was not afraid of the maddened fallen God. Instead, he raised the sword of judgment once more, seemingly intending to cooperate with the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms to slay the fallen God here.

Why is He so confident?

Because the strength of an emperor in reality is often related to his foundation in reality.

Although the balanced order constructed by the Hermits has restricted the activities of the Judges, the current Terensost Empire is the undisputed number one empire in the world. Therefore, Terensost is able to draw considerable power from the empire's almost stubborn order.

Moreover, Trensost was not worried at all, nor concerned about the empire suffering a devastating blow.

In any case, the Terensost Empire is just a figurehead. It is an empire shared by more than seven gods, and most of their followers are here. Even the Goddess of Night, who doesn't like to get involved, can't just stand by and watch the Terensost Empire be destroyed.

Moreover, and most importantly, what Trensault did wasn't excessive.

That's the rule among true gods: whoever causes trouble must settle it.

Chi Yishen takes responsibility for his actions. He offended the Fallen God, causing his two supporters, the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms, to suffer as well. He has no way to repay this great kindness, and the only way to repay this debt is to help his two allies kill the Fallen God.

Ultimately, this was something He caused.

The judge, of course, has an inescapable responsibility!

After killing the Fallen God, 3+1=4. How the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms divide the spoils is none of Terensost's concern!

"Anyone who invades the Empire shall be executed!"

As the Judge drew his sword once more, the power of order throughout the entire Terensost Empire seemed to follow suit, with golden rays of light emanating from all parts of the empire, converging in the sky to form a terrifying golden behemoth that slashed towards the fallen God.

Trensault didn't even need to fabricate charges on the spot to frame the Fallen God. Invading the Empire was a serious crime, written in the Imperial Code. Even an illiterate ordinary person in this era knew that this was an unforgivable crime.
