Chapter 2554

2554 - A Consequence for Everyone

"...If I were you, I would have taken it."

"Hahaha!" The Weaver began laughing loudly. "This is ridiculous! Are you suggesting we dismantle the Seal so he becomes Class Seven or even Class Six, to compensate each of us? That's not enough to compensate any of us for the investments we made in sabotaging your universe!"

"...." The Arbiter turned to the Weaver. "Have these matters become something spoken openly within The Court now?"

"......" The Weaver stopped laughing, but did not apologize.

"Who said I need to compensate you for anything?" The All-seeing God shook his head. "Your investments destroyed B-14 and halted its progress for nearly 98 million years—is that not enough for you? The results of your investments will show at the end of the cycle. My offer is that you cease your mischief for the remaining years, and I think my offer is fair. Even if it were a Class Six Seal, could you secure one easily every two million years?"

The All-seeing God began to let his gaze wander over everyone. "I believe the situation in B-14 has reached all of you. My new candidate rules a large portion of the universe and is expanding; his connections are increasing and strengthening with new followers every day, and his army grows and develops each day." Then he raised his head slightly. "Apologies, but whether you accept it or not, your investments over the remaining years won't carry much weight in any case."

Pride appeared on the All-seeing God's expression as he spoke of Robin's achievements, though he knew full well that he had not contributed to these achievements in any way... but they did not know that.

"Your candidate, Robin Burton, is not bad as a Truth Chosen, but he is still merely a Truth Chosen, and he will not exceed that station." The Resentful One raised his head as well, but with hostility and malice. "All the prestige he has gathered, and the two Unbound who wreak havoc across Universe B-14, were because of you... and this, by the way, is something The Court ought to be informed of."

"He believed his own hype and named himself the Breaker of Certainty, haha!" The Oppressor looked up at the ceiling and began to laugh loudly. "A mere paper tiger who started acting as though everything is within his grasp because of your direct and intensive support."

"...." The All-seeing God shrugged helplessly. "Can I not support my candidate, while you are free to sabotage my life as you please?"

The All-seeing God suppressed a sigh with difficulty... What support? That wretch had become a Transcendent through the Law of Truth!

He was the only one who had transcended through the Master Law of Truth!!

If he were allowed to ascend to the Sanctuary, he would be the only one possessing a Seal bearing the Symbol of Truth at its center, and the price of each of his Seals would reach an astronomical figure due to the Transcendents' curiosity and their desire to collect that rare currency!

That is, of course, if he were allowed to ascend, if the rest of the Transcendents allowed it, and if his blind arrogance permitted him to live until that day.

"Support however you wish, and we will do as we wish." The Weaver slapped his thigh calmly. "I believe the Court session is over."

"Fine." The All-seeing God nodded twice, then turned to the Arbiter. "Please bear witness—I made my offer and they refused it. When they come weeping later over their losses, and refuse to hand over the Seals when I win this case and achieve a good ranking, I will not show them mercy this time either, and I will accept substitutes for the Seals."

The Arbiter nodded without turning toward him.

"Hmph." The Resentful One stood. "You will lose the case because you have no evidence, and you will be crushed in the cycle because you have no true candidate... You are a frivolous and incompetent person, and this cycle will write your end."

"Heh~" The All-seeing God stood as well. "I would like to see how you will crush my current candidate!"

Crush whom? A thousand-year-old Transcendent? And what would they use to do it? Their mortal followers or the Executioners?

Even he would have to devise a full plan to hunt Robin and neutralize him before he reaches Sanctuary at the end of the cycle!

"Your Excellency the breaaaker is planning something big soon." The Oppressor stood with a wide smile. "If I were you, I would stop him."

At that moment, The Weaver raised his hand and gripped the Oppressor's arm firmly to stop him from continuing.

"...?" The All-seeing God noticed that. "If I were you, I wouldn't do that... He has been planning for this day for a while."

"Hahahaha! Oh, that's very kind." The Oppressor pulled his hand free from The Weaver, then began moving toward the door. "I should reconsider—I never like ruining anyone's plans, hahaha."

"....." The All-seeing God furrowed his brow, then turned to The Weaver. "Stop him. This won't end well for anyone, especially not for you."

"Worry about yourself." The Weaver stood as well, nodded toward the Arbiter, then turned back to The All-seeing God. "Since you know now, you can start supporting him with all the momentum you have... He will need it."

Then he left with the same smile, accompanied by The Resentful One.

The rest of the eleven accused also stood and left, all of them annoyed at having been forced to appear before The Court, casting angry glances toward the All-seeing God.

The All-seeing God followed them with his gaze until they had all departed... then he turned to the Arbiter. "I hope you heard what was just said—they intend to sabotage the Day of Ascension of my candidate and his coronation."

"...." The Arbiter did not seem even slightly interested. "You complain about them breaking the shell twice, establishing forces inside B-14, and supplying Executioners with tremendous momentum, all that while smiling." Then he turned to the All-seeing God with an expressionless face. "But your face changed when you heard about the sabotage of the coronation?"

"...." The All-seeing God looked at the ground for a moment. "News of B-14 is spreading now because of all The Patrons sticking their noses into it. I would suggest to Your Majesty that you take a look at my candidate through the recordings or the tales circulating about him."

Then he raised his eyes slightly toward the Arbiter. "Interfering with that event—which he has been planning for most of his short life and building his plans upon—will have dire consequences for everyone."

"For all the patrons inside B-14?" The Arbiter raised his head slightly. "Wouldn't that be what you want?"

"No..." The All-seeing God turned toward the place from which the Transcendents had departed. "The consequences will be dire... for everyone."
