Chapter 947: Chapter 769 Themis: That’s Quite Strange, Huh_2

“Here, this is my Avatar.”

Shi pointed at the bio-chanical Judgnt and said.

The Judgnt indeed looked exactly like him, dressed in a light golden dieval robe. Long waist-length golden hair flowed loosely behind, and it stood there silently with its eyes closed.

Shi explained, “Normally, the Avatar stays here. Once the defensive line detects the presence of an Abyss Demon, it will automatically act to suppress it. I don’t need to control it.”

“Just like a program,” Xu Shuo said while observing the Judgnt.

“Hmm, that’s accurate.” Shi nodded.

“I heard from Los… Aside from you, the Judgnts in the Tower of Judgnt are all just like programs?” Xu Shuo’s gaze flickered slightly.

“Is that so?”

Shi countered with a question instead.

This imdiately left Xu Shuo speechless.

He turned his head to look at Shi, who appeared genuinely curious. For a mont, he felt at a loss, not knowing what to say.

You’re a Judgnt.

The Judgnt personally designated by the Tower of Judgnt.

And yet, you understand less about this than an outsider?

Are you a fake Judgnt?

Shi, feeling a little embarrassed, said, “I rarely visit the Tower of Judgnt because Script Space usually just assigns tasks directly to my Player’s Handbook. There’s never been a requirent for to learn anything at the Tower of Judgnt… However, when I went there recently, the seniors there seed quite approachable.”

Xu Shuo earnestly nodded his head on the surface. In reality, he started ntally auto-playing his response: “I see.”

At this point, he felt that directly questioning Los from the Sixth Palace would yield more reliable information than depending on this rather unreliable Judgnt.

Originally, he had been pondering—

Since Judgnts are fixed programs,

could the program possibly…

“Oh, by the way, I can also project my consciousness into the Avatar. So if there’s an extrely tough situation, you can call via the Player’s Handbook. That way, we can skip the spatial traversal process,” Shi said abruptly.

“Oh.”

Xu Shuo imdiately abandoned his previous line of thought.

He looked at Shi. “Will a Judgnt Avatar affect your true body in any way?”

Shi replied matter-of-factly, “Of course. Right now, while the Avatar is dormant here, there’s no effect. But if it starts moving, our states will synchronize.”

Xu Shuo maintained a calm expression, nodding his head.

“By the way… you’ve seed like you’ve been up to no good since earlier,” Shi suddenly said.

“You’re right. I was thinking if you could give a magical item with similar functionality to a Divine Compass for free, so that I could monitor the Abyss’s movents in this world anyti,” Xu Shuo said evenly.

“Is that so?”

Shi scrutinized him suspiciously.

But perhaps unable to detect anything unusual, Shi soon gave up and instead answered the question: “There is one.”

Before Xu Shuo could respond—

Shi continued, “But if it’s a tool capable of covering the entire world, it requires an extrely high level of spiritual power to activate. It also has to be linked to the world’s defensive lines. This functionality is available, but with your current spiritual power, it’s impossible for you.”

“My spiritual power isn’t enough at this stage?” Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow.

“The world isn’t limited to just Earth.”

“Oh, never mind then.”

“If you only want to detect nearby Abyss Darkness, the item on your left hand is actually sufficient,” Shi said, pointing at the object on Xu Shuo’s left hand. “The reason the Divine Compass can detect defensive line energy is mainly due to proximity. The closer the Abyss is to a defensive line, the stronger the reaction, with slight energy overflow occurring.”

This explained why the Divine Compass only warned of Abyss occurrences in surrounding regions of the country.

Thus, the entire world wasn’t exclusive to such Abyss appearances. It was just that people could only see these limited events nearby.

So when Shi arrived in this world—

he concluded, “Only six months left.”

The very first ti Shi ca to this world,

the space barriers outside were still quite clean.

The second ti he ca,

the outside had started to darken.

By the third ti,

it was completely black.

And after that,

he even glimpsed a chaotic dance of demons…

Nonetheless, given how many worlds were consud by the Abyss recently, and with Xu Shuo being part of this world, Shi wasn’t too surprised about the situation.

At most, he just found it a bit unexpected.

…

After showing a certain soone what the Avatar looked like, Shi intended to leave and attend to his tasks.

However, after glancing at the young man’s expression, he noticed the other party seed slightly dissatisfied, especially with occasional, peculiar side-long glances toward the Judgnt Avatar.

It was clear soone had bad ideas brewing!

But it was quite strange.

Shi didn’t actually worry that the man would create trouble.

Why was he so indifferent to the risk?

He couldn’t figure it out either.

After another brief discussion regarding the defensive line and the Abyss, Shi finally waved goodbye. His figure phased through several illusory spaces, appearing monts later at a certain Abyss Battlefield.

The sky here was a gloomy gray-red.

The gray ca from the swirling, rampaging storm.

The red ca from a spinning storm’s eye.

This kind of sky resembled a gigantic, twisted, chaotic eye that bore down with an extrely oppressive atmosphere, sinisterly watching the pitch-black ground below.

Standing on the earth, Shi opened his eyes.

Without sparing a glance at the storm above, he directly lifted his foot and started walking forward. Before long, he saw a glowing Defensive Line Tower.

“Where did you go.”

A cold voice rang out beside him.

Shi looked up at the hovering figure dressed in a military uniform. His pale golden eyes reflected the man’s expressionless visage.

Shi replied with equal detachnt, “A friend asked to handle so matters. How are the allocations for this world coming along?”

“The Miracle Guild has set up in Zone 39; the other guilds’ fortresses are also completed. We can start now,” the man hovering mid-air said.

“Understood. I’ll stabilize the world first. Soon, I’ll let this Abyss Battlefield connect to Script Space.” Shi spoke as he walked toward the Defensive Line Tower.

This world had just been consud by the Abyss.

The process was swift.

But several worlds were consud at the sa ti.

That, too, had been swift.

The assigned task brought Shi here to salvage this world.

Though most of the living beings in the world were gone,

as long as the world itself wasn’t fully destroyed, it could still serve as an Abyss-resistant battlefield.

First, the guilds within Script Space established forts to anchor themselves in.

Next, they let the Abyss Battlefield link with Script Space, allowing players who failed critical missions into the battlefield to assist with defense.

It didn’t matter how long they held out.

Every mont of holding back the Abyss from invading other worlds counted.

Even if only for a second.

Every second mattered.

…

Shi entered the Defensive Line Tower. Standing in front of the tower, he pulled up the Judgnt interface invisible to other players to check the defensive logs.

The man in the military uniform beside him said, “During your ti away, even more Abyss Rifts have collapsed.”

Shi nodded, “Currently, there are a total of 1,396 Abyss Rifts—875 primary ones, 132 interdiate ones, and 389 advanced ones. Too many. I fear Abyss Nightmares will erge soon, and your guilds will likely be even busier.”

Speaking, he adjusted the defensive line’s energy allocation.

After a long while, he managed to strengthen the world’s spatial barriers a little and then contacted the Tower of Judgnt to request connectivity for the Abyss Battlefield.

The procedure was always very swift.

The defensive log displayed a sub-screen.

The screen quickly updated with a list of players entering the world at that precise mont.

Ah, the players who had failed their main storyline missions.

After completing these steps,

noticing the unusually quiet person beside him.

Shi curiously turned his head to look: “What is it, Helian?”

“Nothing.”

Helian replied indifferently, “Just curious what kind of friend had you leave such a busy schedule to carve out ti to et.”

After hearing this,

Shi exhibited a serious expression of contemplation.

Then, as if seeing a kindred spirit, he looked at Helian Mian with heartfelt acknowledgnt: “Really? You think so too? I also found it rather strange!”

As expected of a true confidant!

Even their thoughts aligned perfectly!

Helian Mian: “…”

The Capital Commandant, accustod to this, was left speechless once more.

Fortunately, he was so expressionless that his exasperation was hidden entirely.
