The Arrival of Order

“What a pity… what a pity. If only you had chosen to join us, you wouldn’t have met such a tragic end.”

“I must say, is it stupidity, or ignorance? Well, it doesn’t matter anymore, you’re already dead anyway.”

The Hanged Man kicked Sui Ming’s now cold corpse a few times, then turned his head to look at the dazed Bai Luoxia.

“Next, it’s time for the final act! The hero of the story should receive his rightful sword!”

“The Legacy of Order—Ke Fa’s Scale!”

However… things didn’t seem to go as he wished.

A blue beam of light descended, and even the main body, currently gambling with Bai Yunqing outside the arena, felt a surge in its heart.

At this moment, Bai Yunqing also revealed a schadenfreude smile.

“It seems someone is quite reliable after all.”

The Scale, symbolizing Ke Fa, descended, carrying the illusory light of Order, determined to judge all evil in the world.

Under the dazzling light, the Princess of Ke Fa stood on the stage, her cold gaze as if looking at a corpse.

Her longsword was held horizontally, its tip pointed directly at the Hanged Man’s face.

“You are not worthy of his body.”

Before he could react, fierce sword energy surged forth, piercing through his body.

This speed… could it be?

It wasn’t until the girl’s figure reappeared behind him that the Hanged Man finally realized that the person before him had actually broken through [Gold Vein] and reached the [True Manifestation] tier.

The gap between [Gold Vein] and [True Manifestation] was like heaven and earth. Even three [Gold Vein]-tier Soul Invokers couldn’t be sure they could defeat one [True Manifestation]-tier powerhouse.

And the difference between the two of them at this moment was precisely that vast.

Her waist-length hair scattered in the air, but the longsword in her hand did not stop.

The Hanged Man quickly built a wall of flesh and blood to defend, but his resistance was futile in front of the current Bai Luoxia.

“Now, my mind is clear!”

“The afterglow of the scorching sun has offered everything to the coming night. As one blessed by the sun’s grace, how can I not dispel the darkness!”

“Ridiculous, where is the light in this world? Hope has long since vanished!”

The Hanged Man suddenly waved his hand, tearing a rift from the edge of the stage. A curved blade made of flesh and blood ripped through the wall, heading straight for the girl!

“How can a small abyss understand the greatness of the present world?”

[Engrave Law – Stasis of All Things]

Drip…

A crisp drop of water echoed through the entire space. The wriggling stage suddenly stopped, and the Hanged Man, suspended in mid-air, showed a look of horror on his face.

Under the restraint of the law, even time had to give way.

A light blue crown slowly coalesced, symbolizing the glory of Order bestowed upon her.

The inheritor of Order had descended upon this world once more.

“That is…” Looking at the daylight-blue light bursting from outside the palace, Phil stopped his “business,” his eyes fixed seriously on the pillar of light.

“For fifty years, Mingxi City has finally welcomed its own Order!”

“By Hercules! Look!”

“I know! You don’t need to remind me!” Foster stood with his hands on his hips, looking proud.

“That girl, she finally grasped it, the true meaning of Order.”

Only by offering the most sincere regret for one’s mistakes can one comprehend the essence of Order.

Repenting one’s errors and continuously correcting oneself—that is the true meaning of Order.

“Prepare well to welcome the birth of a new empress, Fenrir family.”

“By the way, speaking of which, isn’t your son quite smitten with Xiao Bai? It seems someone is about to break down and cry, hahaha.”

“Don’t mention it… I feel unlucky just thinking about that kid.”

“At his age, he should be going to the abyss to kill some false gods and accumulate merits. Instead, he’s become a simp, truly bringing shame upon his ancestors.”

“But… your alchemist isn’t much better, hehe.”

Far away in the Mirror Realm, Lal and Lekter both sneezed at the same time.

“Why does it feel like someone’s gossiping about us?”

“Hey! Who cares if they’re gossiping, watch his attacks!” Lal reminded, then fired an alchemical array, which transformed into a defensive formation, blocking the Lizardman’s attack.

“Things seem to be almost over on that side, we need to step up too!”

“Charge! Let’s fight him to the death!”

Under frozen time, all minor movements were revealed to the girl’s eyes. Even the small dagger behind the Hanged Man was discovered.

However, these petty tricks were insignificant in the face of absolute power.

The sword light, descended!

A head with the same face as Hydros was sliced off by a single sword strike. The body stiffly fell, and then, accompanied by a light pillar, the remaining body turned into dust, unable to regenerate, leaving only a lone head rolling to the side.

“It’s all over, Hanged Man.” The girl said coldly.

“Or… Order’s power is indeed domineering… no wonder the Lord first dealt with Order. Such authority is truly terrifying.”

“Given time, perhaps you could re-forge the glory of Order?… But… not now.”

The stage’s hymn played again; the drama seemed not yet to have reached its finale.

“Let the symphony of disaster descend upon this world once more! In… a brand new form.”

Bai Luoxia waved her hand, and countless chains fell from the sky, piercing through the Hanged Man’s head. Dark blood flowed across the ground.

“A misstep, Bai Luoxia.” The Hanged Man’s voice sounded from behind her.

This time, the one who stood up again was not someone else, but the boy who had long since passed away.

“Ah—such pure abyssal power, what a pity, it would have been great if he had joined us. Such abyssal resistance, third… no, he even has the ability to reach the second seat!”

“Sui Ming, Sui Ming, you tried every way to save others, but in the end, you couldn’t even save yourself. How pathetic.”

“Give him… back to me!” Bai Luoxia roared, her azure longsword seemingly transforming into an aurora, moving so fast that it ripped through space.

But the Hanged Man, on the other hand, watched the close-at-hand blade with an evil smile, casually flicking it with his finger, and crimson blood flowed from between his fingers.

“It seems, Miss Bai still cares for a dead man.”

The Hanged Man swung his palm, a powerful force striking the sword hilt, its intensity making the girl retreat repeatedly.

“Such a powerful body, such strong resistance! I was wrong, Sui Ming, you are my best vessel!”

“With this body, I… will be qualified to contend for that fifth seat!”

“And you… will be the stepping stone on my path to success!”

“Offering the life of an Order God-favored person… Lord [World] would probably look at me with new eyes, right? Hahahahaha!”

“You dare!”
