The Adjudicator and Aengus swiftly arrived at a section of the Underworld where two black-and-white ghosts sat at a table atop a raised platform, diligently writing sothing.
The souls before them, bound by heavy chains, radiated imnse power. Each had accumulated extre Karma—either through unimaginable sins or extraordinary rits. Because of their exceptional deeds or transgressions, they were to be judged exclusively by the Supre Adjudicator himself.
Sensing an arrival, the dead souls, along with the black-and-white ghosts, abruptly paused.
Their quills halted mid-air as they lifted their gazes toward the Supre Adjudicator—and the mysterious human standing beside him, whose presence felt utterly unfathomable.
"Master!"
They called out in unison.
Aengus studied them, imdiately recognizing them as perfect copies of the original Black and White.
"Yes, you are correct, Great One," the Adjudicator confird. "They are the sa in form, but not in consciousness. These are rely separate manifestations of Black and White, fulfilling their duties while their true selves train your son."
"I know..." Aengus nodded, his eyes already having seen through the truth.
"Oh, right… Your eyes are near-omniscient. What is this small trick to you..." The Adjudicator chuckled awkwardly, a trace of embarrassnt in his voice.
Without further delay, he turned to the ghostly duo and took his seat at the obsidian desk.
"Bring forth the Book of Life and Death!" the Adjudicator commanded.
"Ah, yes, right away!"
The black-and-white ghosts bowed deeply before retrieving a massive, ancient to.
Its cover bore the Yin-Yang diagram—a symbol of balance, of life and death itself.
Aengus knew precisely what this book was, as well as the extent of its power.
Its weight surpassed that of an entire universe.
Even though Black and White were among the most powerful Universal-level powerhouses, they visibly struggled as they lifted it together, their spectral forms straining under its imnse burden.
"The Adjudicator scoffed. "How useless…" he muttered, effortlessly lifting the colossal book with one hand and placing it on the table.
Black and White shrank back in fear, their ghostly forms trembling. They dared not utter a word.
The Adjudicator turned to Aengus. "Who do you wish to revive, Great One? Just Speak their nas, and they will be revived instantly."
Aengus remained calm as he responded, "It's not just a few. An entire city."
The room fell silent.
"Search for the incident where a city was devoured by Beelzebub in the World of Mythraldor—the world where I was reincarnated."
The Adjudicator paused, then nodded. "Oh… I see. But not all can be revived. Many may have already reincarnated."
"That's fine," Aengus replied. "If they've reincarnated, then there's no issue. But those still in hell—those with unresolved Karma connected to —revive them or give their reincarnation records."
His gaze flashed.
"This long-buried Karma must be settled."
The Adjudicator nodded and opened the Book of Life and Death, the Ultimate Artifact that recorded the complete history of every being's existence across the Omniverse.
With a single page turned, an unimaginable amount of information flowed to the Adjudicator—entire tilines, reincarnations, karmic debts, and destinies displayed in intricate detail.
For any ordinary being, even a Galactic-level powerhouse, rely touching the book would an instant annihilation.
As for opening a single page? Impossible.
Even Aengus, with his Universal Filant-3 Strength, wasn't sure if he could lift one without consequences.
Of course, if he invoked his authority as an Extremity, the book would obey him, and its pages would turn on their own in absolute submission to his will.
After looking through the book, the Adjudicator's expression turned interesting, despite his faceless nature.
Aengus narrowed his eyes. "What's the matter? Care to share with ?" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
The Adjudicator closed the Book of Life and Death and spoke, "Great One, you are connected to a girl nad Emily, correct?"
Aengus nodded. "Yes. What about her?"
The Adjudicator chuckled. "And you have a daughter being born today."
Aengus instantly grasped the aning behind those words. "Is it confird?"
"Yes," the Adjudicator affird. "That girl is fated to reincarnate as your daughter. Although her mother was reincarnated as a noble's daughter in Mythraldor."
He waved his hand, revealing a projection of a lively young girl—her soul carrying a deep connection to Aengus.
The Adjudicator tilted his head. "Do you wish to change sothing? Perhaps you don't want that girl to be your daughter?"
Aengus pondered for a mont before shaking his head. "No need. She didn't take over my daughter—she was fated to be born as such. There's no need to alter anything."
The Adjudicator nodded. "As you wish, Great One. Shall I revive those who are currently in limbo or suffering in hell?"
Aengus's voice was firm. "Yes. Revive them and send them back to the sa city, exactly where it once stood."
With that settled, Aengus was about to leave.
"Wait a mont, Great One."
Sensing his intent to depart, the Adjudicator called out.
Aengus turned back, his gaze calm. "Yes?"
The Adjudicator hesitated before speaking. "Should I continue with my plan to make your son, Aron, the next Heir? I feel the need for retirent and wish to explore the world of the living by reincarnating. May I have your permission?"
Aengus answered simply, "Let my son be the one to decide, Adjudicator. But you must not force him. I do not wish for him to spend his days in loneliness within this realm. However, if he chooses to bear the burden, I will not stop him either."
The Adjudicator bowed respectfully. "Then, I shall await his decision."
"Farewell."
With that, Aengus's form flickered and vanished from sight.
As the silence settled, Black turned toward the Adjudicator. "Who was that, Master?"
The Adjudicator's voice was solemn. "Our Creator and Protector."
At those words, the powerful souls present and even the Black and White clones trembled—realizing just how monuntal the presence they had just witnessed truly was.
Regret settled deep within their souls. They hadn't even spoken a simple greeting to their Creator.
What if they had begged for a second chance—to redeem their sins, to right their wrongs, or even to fulfill a long-lost wish?
But alas, the mont had passed. Their chance was gone.
Now, they could only face the tornt of hell, shackled by the weight of their past deeds, forever yearning for an opportunity that would never co.
