Chapter 503: Chief Justice Selection

The congressman who proposed Hercules could not believe his eyes at this moment. He knew very well that the Shadow Society belonged to Hercules rather than Lafayette. After all, the entire Shadow Society was controlled by Hercules.

Others believed that Lafayette's disappearance had caused a great loss in the Shadow Society's strength, but only he knew that the person who truly controlled the Shadow Society's lifeline and the person who truly signed a contract with darkness was Hercules.

But he never expected that Hercules would nominate his opponent as the president...

The king himself rebelled?

This veteran congressman just felt that things were changing too fast and the possibilities were too many.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

No one speaks.

No one would stand up at this time... No... someone stood up.

The senior councillor stood up and said generously, "Hercules, your recommendation is very good. No one is more suitable than Lord Sinclair. In this way, the original war will be eliminated, the two sides will cooperate, no longer waste energy, and their strength will be greatly improved. It's great."

At this moment, this senior congressman has already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Regardless of whether Hercules' behavior is active or passive, all he needs to do is cooperate.

Sinclair looked at the senior congressman and nodded gently: "What's your name?"

"Tom, Tom Turner, Lord Snakehead." Tom answered with apparent fear and respect.

Sinclair nodded: "Very good, he is indeed a talent, you should stay..."

"Thank you..." Tom was about to speak when he saw a flash of bright green light.

The green lights intertwined like a giant net. The congressmen at the conference table tried to dodge in various ways, but after screaming one after another, they fell to the ground or on the table in all directions.

The marble floor reflected the cold light, and the seats that were once full were now occupied by only a few people lying on the table.

Their lives were all taken away by magic, but Tom could smell the strong smell of blood in the air.

After all, there was still green light in Tom's pupils.

They all used the domain, but they died.

Darkness itself was the hardest to kill, until they encountered a deeper darkness.

Tom's body softened and he crawled in front of Sinclair, wanting to kiss his boots.

Li Daoxian waved his hand and lifted up Tom in front of him: "You are very good, and you are very suitable to be the first judge of the Moying Court."

First Chief Justice.

I actually have such an opportunity.

Tom just showed a look of joy on his face, and then he heard the gentle voice of the person in front of him.

"Lu Zhicheng, come and get familiar with your future body."

"Yes, boss."

Li Daoxian sat in the main seat with a calm expression. A figure faintly walked out from behind him.

The man was dressed strangely and didn't look like he was from Abisowol. He was Lu Zhicheng. From the sound of it, did he want to invade his body?
Tom's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he said respectfully: "Master Snake Head, I hope you can give me a chance to prove my ability."

Li Daoxian asked with interest: "Do you want to resist?"

Tom bowed quickly: "I am not resisting, but your humble servant begs you to give me a fair chance to compete, keep my useful body and serve you."

Before Tom said it, Li Daoxian already knew what he was thinking. He didn't want to sit there and wait for death, so he wanted to resist, but he was afraid of angering himself, so he went around in such a big circle just to be able to fight back.

"Okay, I agree. As long as you can defeat Lu Zhicheng, you can keep your life."

Li Daoxian said to Lu Zhicheng: "As for you, you need a goal to practice your knowledge and make the world recognize it. This is the first step you need to take. Fortunately, you can also get to know the wizard world through him."

Lu Zhicheng raised his head and said calmly, "No problem."

"Let's start." Li Daoxian finished speaking, and without any movement, everything around him was isolated, and the two people were wrapped in it.

It was a bit narrow at first, but soon expanded several times to the size of a small dueling arena.

Tom stood up and sneered, "I don't feel the aura of the domain from you. Don't worry, for the sake of Lord Snakehead, I will leave your body intact. The domain is unfolding."

As Tom's domain unfolded, a shadowy figure appeared behind him.

Tom subconsciously glanced at Sinclair who was looking at him with a smile outside the venue.

"Fortunately, there is no area that prohibits myself."

Tom felt relieved.

Although his control over the domain is deep, it is far from the level of Hercules.

What's more, when Sinclair slaughtered other council members just now, the domain aura that appeared on his body was several times stronger than that of Hercules.

My domain and the other party's domain have the same origin, and the other party has the ability to directly suppress my domain. Now that I can expand my domain, it means that the other party has no intention of restricting me.

Is it self-confidence?

How could Sinclair have the confidence to think that this guy in front of him, who was clearly not even a domain wizard, could defeat him?

Domain wizards have absolute dominance over non-domain wizards.

Tom laughed and said, "Let me teach you a good lesson. Of course, this is also the last lesson."

Countless shadows unfolded along with the figure behind him.

The thick shadows formed an impenetrable barrier.

Lu Zhicheng looked at his opponent, feeling the sin in him that was so thick that it was almost materialized. He took a deep breath and said softly, "It's too filthy. The sin in you will eventually bite you back."

He stretched out his hand. His arm was dark, as if carved from obsidian, and white runes covering it were flickering. In the center of his palm, a scarlet eye was sizing up the situation in front of it like a living thing. Its gaze then fell on Tom, staring at him intently.

A deep curse flows from it, emitting a heart-pounding energy.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall changed instantly.

The air around him became thick, as if countless invisible hands were pulling at him. Tom's smile froze, and he felt something surging deep in his spirit.

"What...this is impossible!" Tom exclaimed.

The other party clearly doesn't have a territory, so why can he invade me who is wrapped in a territory?

He tried to mobilize the power of the domain to isolate the invading forces, but the Curse of Origin was like a parasite, gnawing at his soul bit by bit according to his past crimes.

Is this... a curse?
A special kind of curse that works directly on the mind?

Although Tom is a smooth person, he has lived for so long that he naturally has some skills.

Although he had never seen this type of attack method used by Lu Zhicheng, after several encounters, he quickly determined the type of attack.

He felt the pain deep in his soul, a sensation like thousands of sharp thorns stirring in his heart.

Tom was panting, his face grim, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart. He clenched his teeth, and waved his hand violently. The shadow field unfolded in full swing, and countless black shadows condensed into entities, like ferocious beasts and sharp blades, roaring and pouncing towards Lu Zhicheng.

His goal was clear: to force Lu Zhi to become a spirit in order to destroy the erosion of the curse of source sin.

He knew very well that his soul had been polluted, so he might as well get rid of his opponent as quickly as possible.

However, at the end of the darkness, Lu Zhicheng's figure remained as motionless as a solitary peak. The darkness washed over him without leaving any trace.

He closed his eyes, as if listening to something.

The next moment, he whispered, "You're scared, aren't you?"

Tom's movements faltered slightly. He felt an inexplicable chill.

"You want to divert the pain and devour it with shadows," Lu Zhicheng opened his eyes, his gaze deep, "but that is not redemption, it will only accelerate your fall."

"I don't want salvation, I just want to live..."

Before he finished speaking, Tom suddenly changed his move. He gathered all the shadows and forcibly compressed them into a pure black magic ball.

This is the ultimate magic of Tom's domain. Through the shadow core nourished by darkness, his degree of fusion with darkness is far inferior to Lafayette's. However, by relying on the shadow core, he can obtain the same dark devouring power as Lafayette under limited conditions.

"The Shadow Core is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, your fear is too obvious." Lu Zhicheng's voice was like a sharp blade piercing Tom's heart.

Lu Zhicheng stretched out a hand and lightly touched with his fingertips, and the power of the Origin Sin Curse began to grow within Tom's spiritual core.

Tom roared in pain as he felt the inside of the shadow core being eroded bit by bit.

He roared unwillingly: "This is impossible! You are not a domain wizard, how can you beat me?"

Lu Zhicheng stood in front of him, his eyes grim: "Your domain is filled with the fear and despair of others, and what I control is the essence of all evil, including your domain."

"It was not me who defeated you, but the strong evil in your domain."

Lu Zhicheng reached out and grasped a hint of darkness in the void. That was Tom's weakness deep in his heart: a special memory.

That was a scene decades ago - Tom had killed his own brother with his own hands just to fight for a seat in the Shadow Society.

The screams and curses of his brother when he died turned into a bright red mark, deeply engraved on the shadow core.

"Shut up!" Tom was furious. He released more shadows frantically, trying to attack Lu Zhicheng. Unfortunately, these shadows were covered by a red light during the flow, and then disintegrated and disappeared.

Lu Zhicheng held the memory in his right hand, and then a chain appeared in his palm, and under the chain was a scale.

That memory is thrown into the right side of the scale.

Just like a beginning, a large amount of sins gathered and continuously entered the tray on the right. The left side, which originally represented Tom's soul and fell heavily, began to tremble at this moment, and then slowly rose. Lu Zhicheng's voice was low, with irresistible power, and he took a step closer: "This is the judgment you deserve."

He didn't give Tom a chance to breathe.

Lu Zhicheng suddenly stretched out his hands, and the curse of source sin rooted in Tom's heart instantly turned into countless red chains, directly penetrating Tom's shadow core and locking his soul.

"It's over." Lu Zhicheng said in a low voice.

Tom's eyes turned from anger to despair. He struggled and shouted, but the shadow core gradually collapsed under the erosion of the curse of the source sin.

"Damn it, you deserve to die..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go."

Tom started out screaming and cursing, then begged for mercy, and finally became calm.

He saw Lu Zhicheng standing calmly in front of him, and also saw Sinclair smiling not far away.

At this moment, Tom understood his future, and he also figured out many things: "So that's it, it's the rules... the rules from another world... only the rules can do this, even if they are incomplete rules, they can penetrate the domain..."

Tom felt his soul dissolving. He used his last bit of strength to sneer at Lu Zhicheng and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't lose to you, but to Sinclair. It turns out that I had already prepared the path to becoming a rule wizard..."

"You are just a tool being used. Sooner or later..."

Before he could finish his words, the scale in Lu Zhicheng's hand made a clang sound and the left side was raised high.

Tom's soul body eventually turned into black dust.

His body seemed to be drained of all vitality, and he collapsed to the ground with empty eyes.

Afterwards, everything on the left and right sides of the scale in Lu Zhicheng's hand disappeared. The scale regained its balance while swinging, and then slowly disappeared.

The light in the conference hall was restored, and the remaining aura of the shadow realm gradually dissipated.

Lu Zhicheng floated in place, looking at the empty body lying on the ground in front of him, and sighed softly: "Sin, after all, cannot escape judgment."

Lu Zhicheng stood beside the corpse and took a deep breath.

He stretched out a hand, and a scarlet light burst out from his fingertips, like a bloody vein, gradually climbing up Tom's body.

Scarlet light poured into Tom's body, and the chains of the Origin Sin Curse seemed to come alive, slowly blending into his skin.

Lu Zhicheng closed his eyes, and his consciousness followed the chains into the depths of Tom's soul.

It was a chaotic space there.

Filled with broken memories and desperate wails, Tom's soul fragments trembled under the erosion of the curse of the source sin, trying to avoid Lu Zhicheng's approach.

Lu Zhicheng just raised his hand, and the scarlet chains, like living things, pierced into the fragments and pulled them back into his control little by little.

Every memory - killing, betrayal, greed, fear... all the negative emotions were condensed into a burning core, and then turned into a pale figure.

The chaos around began to change, and the dark blue stone slabs of the Judgment Square appeared on the ground.

Countless white figures were in the square, waiting for trial.

Lu Zhicheng loosened his hand and pushed gently, and the white figure belonging to Tom also merged into it and became one of them. This also meant that Tom's soul was completely swallowed up and controlled.

Lu Zhicheng placed his palm on Tom's chest, and the runes of the Curse of Origin Sin began to flow, quickly covering his entire body.

"From today on, I am the Sin Scavenger, the Dark Judge, Lu Zhicheng."

His consciousness slowly merged with Tom's body.

At that moment, piercing pain came from all over his body, but Lu Zhicheng just frowned slightly and then regained his composure. He could feel every inch of strength in Tom's body, and the remaining shadow power was being transformed into a new energy source by the curse of the source of sin.

The cursed body has been transformed at this moment.

When Lu Zhicheng opened his eyes, his pupils were no longer pitch black, but glowed scarlet.

He slowly walked in front of Li Daoxian.

Li Daoxian opened his arms and gave Lu Zhicheng a warm hug: "Great, I knew you could do it."

Seeing Li Daoxian's concerned look, Lu Zhicheng felt warm in his heart: "I have lived up to the boss's expectations."

All of this had been arranged by the boss long ago, including the final battle, because only after Lu Zhicheng completed the trial himself and demonstrated his value could he obtain a temporary identity in the world.

Otherwise, you will become an illegal resident like other time travelers.

Li Daoxian rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, I'll have to ask you for the rest."

Lu Zhicheng said gratefully: "Thank you, boss. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do... No one expected that the situation would deteriorate so quickly..."

Li Daoxian patted his shoulder and said, "As long as we can complete the construction of the rules here, then everything will still have a chance."

At this time, Li Daoxian turned around and took Lu Zhicheng to the person who was standing quietly aside, like a wax figure.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Maeve. You can also call him Hercules. He is a powerful wizard. From now on, he will assist you in handling all matters of the Ink Shadow Court."

Lu Zhicheng looked at Li Daoxian with a questioning look, and the meaning in his eyes was: Can he be trusted?
Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Don't worry, he knows exactly what he should do."

Hercules bowed slightly and said calmly, "Thank you for your trust, sir. I will assist you with all my heart and soul."

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you." Lu Zhicheng extended his hand.

Hercules also stretched out his hand, and the two men held hands together. At this time, Lu Zhicheng looked into the eyes of the person in front of him.

Those snake eyes looked extremely weird.

Li Daoxian nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Lu Zhicheng, you are the first judge of the Ink Shadow Court and also the chief judge. You will continue to expand the staff of the Ink Shadow Court. Whether they are players or wizards, as long as they are suitable, they can be absorbed."

"I hope that the Ink Shadow Court can achieve 'crime is judgment', so that the Chaos Hub can have a little bit of order."

……

The two major forces of the underground council, the Shadow Society and the Emerald Thieves, were now merged into the Snake Eye and became subordinate organizations. This news spread throughout the Chaos Hub in the first place.

The parrot asked the snake wizard along the way and finally found Captain Dragon Lizard and explained what happened.

In fact, the dragon lizard already knew the news without the parrot telling it. After all, everyone in the snake area, whether residents or snake shamans, were discussing the news enthusiastically, so it was hard for them not to know.

Snake witches consider it an honor.

Residents see it as an opportunity, but also a sense of security.

The merger of the two forces can be said to be a foregone conclusion, as long as there are no accidents, the Snake Head’s entry into the underground parliament is a foregone conclusion.

At this time, the snake wizard came to find Longlizard and the others and said, "Master Snakehead has returned. He has time to see you."

……

When the dragon lizard and his companions arrived at the reception room, they saw the snake head sitting in the main seat, who was the purpose of their visit, Sinclair.

Next to Sinclair stood a fat man as big as a hill, looking at them coldly.

When the dragon-lizards met, they performed a standard wizard etiquette. The etiquette was precise and elegant, and there was nothing wrong with it from any angle.

Of course, in this situation, the dragon lizard naturally dare not be negligent.

The man in front of them could be said to be one of the most influential people in the Chaos Hub. He controlled the Snake Wizard and the Shadow Society, and almost monopolized all the sources of information in the Chaos Hub. In addition, they had seen the strength of the Snake Wizard with their own eyes, so it was best not to have a conflict if possible.

"Master Snakehead, we are staff members of the Cultural Heritage Protection Bureau. My name is Dragon Lizard, and these are my team members: Falcon, War Bear, and Parrot."

"I'm sorry to bother you. We came here because of our duty and need to find you to understand some things. Of course, if there is anything inconvenient to explain, you can refuse to answer."

The dragon lizard spoke very politely.

Li Daoxian already knew their purpose from their minds, but the interesting thing was that in their minds, there was a part that seemed to be deliberately hidden and encrypted through special methods.

Li Daoxian wanted to take a peek, but it would take some time.

He asked softly, "Interesting, are you here for a new domain that is not recorded in the Domain Chronicle?"

The dragon lizard nodded. Although he was a little surprised that the other party knew his purpose, considering the intelligence network of the Emerald Thieves and the Shadow Society, it was not surprising that the other party could make such a guess.

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "You came at the right time. I have a lot of questions that I need to discuss with you. Please take a seat."

As soon as Li Daoxian finished speaking, corresponding chairs appeared behind them.

After they sat down, Li Daoxian suggested: "Why don't we ask each other a question and answer it in turn? What do you think? As long as you ask, I will answer, and I guarantee that it is the truth."

The dragon lizard was a little hesitant when he heard this.

After all, much of what I know is confidential and cannot be passed on.

Li Daoxian waited for a while, but got no reply. He said with some regret: "If it's difficult, why not rest here for a while? When you have thought it over, just ask the snake witch to contact me."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."

The dragon lizard looked a little unnatural, he understood the meaning of the other party's words.

All he could say was, "Mr. Snake, we are members of the Wizarding Association."

Li Daoxian nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I know, but this is Abisowol."

"It is precisely because I know that you are a member of the Wizarding Association that I am only letting you take a break. If it were anyone else, I would personally pry out the parts that interest me from their heads."

These words made the faces of several team members behind him turn a little ugly.

Li Daoxian's smile softened, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I was just joking. How could I do such a thing? I have a good friend in the Wizard Association, Eric. I wonder if you know him."
