" As expected, there is a sky behind the sky. "

Shi Tu sighed and didn't seem surprised.

" Hm? you Don't seem surprised at this. "

Mu joking said, but he really admired Shi Tu's mental state, usually any person who used to be at the top all the time would be surprised when knows he was a frog at the bottom of the well.

Shi Tu showed a smiling face and couldn't hide the excitement on his face, " I thought about this a long time ago, the world system that resembles games, and the heavenly restriction that gives the greatest equality, the way this world is going makes it seem as if this world was built to give everyone a chance to reach the top. All this made me think this world was made by someone or something and whatever it is, it is waiting for someone to finish the last level."

Shi Tu looked sharply in Mu and Rai's eyes, " I am waiting you to tell me what is happening, I want to know what is this Darkness Ring and what I have to do as the chosen one and the secret behind this world "

Mu patted on Shi Tu's shoulder and said cheerfully, " Sure, we'll tell you everything "

Mu slipped slightly and said with some sorrow, " Don't worry, we are only ghosts from the past. We will never force you to do anything because what we want from you is to be a fair judge. "

Shi Tu looked a little dazed and said, " Really? Judge happened to be one of my titles so I'm really excited to know, but I thought you wanted revenge? "

" Hahaha! " Mu laughed and admired the rudeness of Shi Tu, who dared to say everything in his mind.

Mu nodded and said, " You should be excited. This is a story of an eternal battle. There are those who want revenge, there are those who don't care, and there are those who have their dreams. In short, there are many conflicting desires and we want a judge to decide everything. "

" We cannot give you any power, but we can give you knowledge, all knowledge in this world!! whatever you want to know, there is definitely more than one soul here who knows the answer you want. "

Suddenly, Mu's face became extremely dangerous, "The souls here are a small part of the darkness within the Darkness Ring, to obtain knowledge, you must convince the soulsto help you, as for the spiteful souls, you must bear their hatred and for souls like us, you must convince us. "

" Mu, you talk too much, he can understand that much. "

Rai interrupted Mu and continued, " All we want from you is a fair judgment, knowledge is with us, and the decision is with you. "

" I understand what you want, but ..." Shi Tu seemed understanding but his eyes were overflowing with doubt, " All of these things must have been out for a very long time. it make no sense that I am the first fit person? And if I am, why exactly? I have not been fair in my life. "

Shi Tu's eyes narrowed and he continued, " I don't have the power to impose my decision on anyone. "

" Haha, I admire your honesty. You remind me of someone I know. He's a spiteful soul here. Maybe you will know him someday. I'm sure you two will be good friends ."

Shi Tu liked Mu more and more, even with his vast experience wasn't able to see his intentions, he couldn't distinguish whether he is honest or hypocritical praising him, and this is what made Shi Tu enjoy talking with him.

Mu continued, " Certainly, as you said, there have been nine generations with a total of eighteen fake judges, but what gave them the power to take the decision, doesn't represent us .... all of us, unfortunately, all of whom had evaded giving judgment and left it for the next generation and continued it for nine generations, you have talked with One of them, he's the creator of Blades of Chaos and he's the judge of the previous generation. "

"You two too? " Shi Tu asked suspiciously.

" Who knows? "

" You didn't answer my question, why me exactly? "

" You said that you are not fair? If you are not fair, then this means that justice doesn't exist in this world. "

Mu mocked Shi Tu's words, but before saying more, Rai spoke, " We can know not just your memories but your thoughts, feelings, and everything. "

" Hey!! Ray, why did you tell him? "

Rai's eyes turned toward the upset Mu and said softly, "We 'll tell him everything anyway, your mess is just a waste of time. "

" No wonder you've always been alone. You don't have a sense of humor. "

"It looks like you two are really close friends. " Shi Tu smiled and said sincerely

"For sure!! "

Mu approached, leaned on Rai's shoulder and said proudly.

" We are best friends "

Rai didn't deny or distract Mu from him but just smile lightly.

" If only everyone were smart and could control their greed. "

Mu, " This is impossible "

Rai, " I hope so. "

" Hehehe, Despite your friendship, it seems that you have different opinions, I see, " Shi Tu sneered.

"Okay, let's get back to our topic, " Mu saidembarrassedly.

" As I said, we can give you all the knowledge you want in exchange for being the judge. What do you think? "

" In short, you want me to defeat the two judges of the current generation and impose my judgment? "

Nine generations with eighteen judges means that every generation has two judges, most likely the judgment cannot be executed unless both judges agree on judgment in order to ensure the impartiality of the judgment.

" Hehehehe , as expected, talk to smart people is easier. "

" And what guarantees me that you will not look for someone else if my judgment doesn't suit some of you? "

" You have already been chosen to be the Darkness Ring Master. Once you agree, the life and death of all souls is here you can ....."

"Wait!!" Mu interrupted Rai's speech with dismay.

" Rai, you don't have a mood outside fights, such things can't be said with such face and apathetic sound "

Mu looked at Shi Tu and said seriously, "The life and death of all souls here. You can decide it with just a thought. "

" But I can't force someone to obey me and tell me what I want? "

" Exactly, and I would like to remind you in advance in order not to use the threat of death "

" You can turn down the offer if you want, with our power we can erase your memory and allow you to continue living as if nothing had happened. The only difference is that you will not remember anything related to the Darkness Ring, but don't worry, the knowledge you gained about the flame will still be there. "

" But, if you agree to be the judge, the your eternal battle will begin "

....................

Shi Tu opened his eyes lying on the soul cleansing stone bed.

His eyes were so black, so calm, nothing could be seen through them.

Shi Tu raised his head and looked at Arcana lying on his chest.

From one look, he could know that she had lost her cultivation and all her soul power and now she is no different from mortals.

Shi Tu gazed at Arcana softly for some time before picking it up and placing it on the stone bed.

" Foolish, is it worth risking your life? I was obviously using you to confirm my thoughts. "

Shi Tu reached out to softly caress Arcana's face and his eyes began to be greatly twitched/

" Just to try to gain my confidence again, you're willing to die for it. "

" If only you refused to do this, I implanted in you the Soul Unification Seal, even if you refused, I cannot do anything to you. "

Shi Tu continued caressing Arcana's face but also got her hair involved.

When remembering her facial features when he tried to explain himself to her, he felt pain and hated himself, this is because he was lying, he wanted to exploit her, but she went to death with her feet despite her realization that there is a great possibility that he is taking advantage of her.

Although Shi Tu didn't blame her for the past, but he didn't care about her either, it is true that he forgave her for the past, but this doesn't mean that he cared about her, at first he wanted to kill her, but she survived and had no choice but to forgive her from his heart, but then he thought about this plan to use her as bait, he didn't care if she died, but he was really touched when she screamed to let her help him before she died, even in front of death she still thinks about him.

" You know, during these years, I've been betrayed countless times, I've always been resisting the characters imposed on me by sin and try to trust someone again, no matter how honestly I treat them, I'll be betrayed in the end, every time I show my abilities, I can see fear In their eyes, they are afraid of me because I am something they cannot understand. ''

" Even you, before and now, are still afraid of me and I don't blame you for that. It is normal for you to distance yourself from every possible threat. "

" Until now, I could only trust Loki and Prometheus because they are similar to me, I can't trust anyone anymore. "

" I made a pledge to myself in this life that I will give priority to myself and will only care about myself, I will consider everyone to be mere tools and will not open my heart again, but I wonder, if you can reach our level, will I be able to trust you? "

Shi Tu sighed on these unanswered questions.

Shi Tu reached out and grabbed Arcana's neck with intricate gazes, " You know too much. If I allow you to live, you will be a great threat, whether you like it or not, so ..."

Shi Tu's gazes became cooler and he showed intense killing intent.

" You must die "
