Chapter 94: The Supreme Court
After Prospero stepped away from Gliese, the gods were filled with doubt.
"Prospero, what did Gliese say to you to make you look so grim?"
"Is it truly some world-threatening catastrophe?"
"Or has that Void King returned?"
Prospero did not respond to the gods surrounding him. Instead, he walked straight toward Mira.
Seeing Prospero’s solemn expression, Mira immediately realized something was wrong. She looked at him, her voice trembling slightly with panic.
"Um... did Gliese run into some trouble he can't handle? Looking at your faces... it’s not time for me to sacrifice my life, is it?"
"More or less..."
"Then... could you be gentle? I’m afraid of pain..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Mira collapsed before Prospero.
As the God of Life, she was virtually immortal and indestructible. Unless she chose to surrender her own life, it was nearly impossible for anyone else to kill her.
Looking down at the fallen Mira, Prospero turned back to glance at Gliese one last time.
"Gliese... please, take care."
With those words, Prospero severed his own line of fate.
Seeing two top-tier True Gods fall one after another, the rest of the gods instantly realized the gravity of the situation.
"Gliese! What exactly did you call us here for?!"
"Why are Life and Fate both dead? Did you bring us here just to kill us?!"
"This guy has gone mad! If we flee now, there might still be time!"
Just as the gods prepared to activate their respective authorities to escape, they were suddenly struck by a terrifying aura that rendered them immobile.
Thirty seconds had passed since Gliese had summoned the gods.
For Xie Bai, that meant the cooldown for Echo was over.
Swish—!
【Killed Judgment Knight Ixion, Lv.300】
【Killed God of Wealth - Mizer, Lv.300】
【Killed God of Destruction - Nemesis, Lv.300】
【Killed God of Purification - Desdemona, Lv.300】
...
Watching the remaining True Gods being swept away, Xie Bai noticed a problem.
"Why isn't the God of Time here?"
Faced with Xie Bai’s confusion, Gliese waved his hand dismissively.
"The True God you speak of is still in the past, recording history. I wasn't able to notify him in time."
As he spoke, Gliese found a seat and sat back down.
"Life is dead, Fate has crumbled, and most of the True Gods have dissipated by your hand. Now, you only need to kill me to dissolve the timeline's protective layer. A single god presiding over time is not enough to resist your harvesting of this timeline."
Hearing Gliese’s words, Xie Bai pondered for a moment.
"I’m not hurting for a single timeline anyway. I’ll look for him later if I happen to run into him."
Considering her limited time, Xie Bai decided to set the God of Time aside for now.
"But do you really intend to just let me kill you like this?"
Gliese shook his head at Xie Bai’s question.
"The Supreme Court has already informed me that this battle is an absolute, one-sided crushing. While I generally favor duels between the strong, I am not so bored as to participate in a slaughter where there is zero hope."
With that, Gliese deactivated the authority enhancements on his body.
"Supreme powerhouse from the main timeline, please... no more useless talk."
Swish—!
【Killed Lord of Holiness and Light Gliese, Lv.300】
With a single strike, Xie Bai killed the defenseless Gliese.
After dealing with Gliese, Xie Bai did not immediately use Annihilation. Putting away Funeral Rites, she looked around the massive Supreme Court.
According to the information Gliese provided, the Supreme Court possessed the ability to communicate across time and space. This meant that the more timelines she destroyed, the more clearly the Supreme Court would recognize her identity as a Timeline Reaper.
The more timelines she visited, the more familiar Gliese would become with her. Eventually, he would cooperate with her proactively without the need for lengthy explanations.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Xie Bai’s mission. With Gliese’s cooperation, the process of destroying timelines would only become more convenient.
At the same time, the detailed information of the Supreme Court surfaced before Xie Bai’s eyes.
【Supreme Court】
【Quality: Divine Artifact】
【Type: Special Equipment】
【Requirement: Main God (Ignored)】
【All Attribute Bonus: Doubled】
【Eternal: This artifact exists simultaneously across all time and space, and all instances are considered one and the same.】
【Supreme: You can break through the limits of the Panel to achieve true reality.】
【Protection: Receive the blessing and protection of the Supreme Court; you may use all permissions of the Supreme Court.】
The first artifact, and also the last. It possesses an indivisible, supreme uniqueness. Those who gain its recognition shall receive the Supreme Protection.
Looking at this so-called Divine Artifact, a trace of unease welled up in Xie Bai’s heart.
As she stared at it, she could clearly feel that she was being watched in return, as if the object were calling out to her, urging her to use it.
But it was, after all, just an artifact; it could not communicate with her directly.
Although the usage requirements on the panel had been ignored, Xie Bai did not dare to try using it recklessly.
Based on the panel information, the Supreme Court was clearly more powerful and mysterious than Gliese or any of the True Gods. The phrase "break through the limits of the Panel" alone was enough to make Xie Bai wary.
And so, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
It lasted until a strange voice drifted in from behind.
"What happened here... Why are the True Gods all dead? Even Gliese..."
Hearing the noise, Xie Bai immediately turned around. She saw a man dressed in a golden cloak.
【God of Time - Falcant, Lv.300】
"You’re the God of Time?"
Hearing Xie Bai call out to him, Falcant snapped out of the shock of seeing the hall strewn with corpses. Seeing Xie Bai standing in the center of the hall, his face turned ashen.
"Who are you... Wait, did you do all of this?"
Faced with this sudden scene, Falcant, who had just returned to the Supreme Court, clearly hadn't processed the situation.
Xie Bai took a step forward, frightening Falcant into stumbling back.
"Are you... going to kill me? Like the others?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Falcant realized how foolish he sounded. Since the person before him had slaughtered the entire Supreme Court, there was no reason they would spare him alone.
Although Falcant, as the God of Time, was among the strongest of the True Gods, that strength was negligible before a being who could single-handedly wash the Supreme Court in blood. Even Gliese, the Lord of the Supreme Court, had died at her hands; Falcant didn't dare underestimate her.
Seeing Falcant so terrified, Xie Bai, who had originally intended to question him, shook her head.
"Forget it. I’ll just show you something."
With that, Xie Bai tossed an object toward Falcant.
Falcant caught it instinctively. When he saw what it was, his pupils shrank violently.
"This is... a Space-Time Fragment?!"
Falcant realized Xie Bai’s identity was far from simple. Tucking the fragment away, he looked at Xie Bai with a mix of awe and fear.
"May I ask, Excellency... do you know the two Space-Time Gods from the Land of Distortion?"
