Chapter Title: World Beyond the Right Eye - Constellations of Justice, Societal Collapse
-----------------------------------------------------------------
‘Finally, it begins.’
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court clutched the Scales of Good and Evil to his chest.
He couldn't remember how it had come to this, but he had finally gathered all the good deeds and could realize his ultimate goal.
I shall summon higher-dimensional judges who are just, wise, and understand humanity.
Finally, he activated the Scales of Good and Evil.
Just as he had studied beforehand, his mind was sucked into somewhere, and soon his spirit was flung into the heart of the universe.
‘I have to find them.’
It was the space between dimensions.
Amid countless dimensions, his spirit felt like it would rip apart at any moment.
‘For humanity.’
A world where the virtuous are rewarded.
A world where the wicked are condemned.
‘For a righteous world.’
He summoned his compass.
The compass, linked to his mind, functioned perfectly even here and moved toward what he desired.
‘Oh no, the direction isn't locking in?’
Infinite dimensions meant infinite beings matching his desires.
The needle wouldn't fixate, so the Chief Justice added a new condition.
‘The closest one to me from here!’
The needle stopped.
He advanced in that direction, and soon he encountered a single dimension.
Ah, so bored.
Anything fun going on?
Wanna get that dopamine rush, but no bait lately.
Human-like conversation and reactions.
They clearly understood humans, but the vibe was way too casual.
‘Are these really the ones?’
Had the compass malfunctioned?
Enduring the pain, he decided to search for another dimension.
Huh? Someone spying?
One? Nah, two? One's definite, the other's iffy.
One or two, who cares! Bait dropped! Woo-hoo!
That instant.
Countless eyes glared at him.
Whoa! Earth? Human? Info overload!!
Looking for higher-dimensional beings to judge your own dimension's kin, huh?
Ah, we're just and fair lol. Good find.
Too much data—someone do a three-line summary.
In an instant, they grasped everything about humanity—his dimension's location, even Earth's culture.
You want wise, just beings to judge humans? We'll handle it.
Open the portal! Let's go!
But checking your record... you've done plenty bad. Killed good folks suspecting spies, offed villains on a whim under "salvation."
Ugh, arbitrary vigilante kills? What's the law for?
Vigilantism's evil. Society allow that?
Committed crimes? Punishment time.
How many killed? Leading an org too? Organized crime—aggravated!
They declared.
We're the Constellations of Justice.
Now, judgment on your crimes.
Mass murder, organized crime, private vigilantism... combined...
The Chief Justice's mind and body disintegrated.
Ugh, barely made it.
It was abrupt.
Why's the passage so damn narrow?
For real, took a whole day to squeeze through.
Voices resounded in everyone's minds.
The voices, starting as suddenly as they appeared, made their declaration just as abruptly.
Alright, quit yapping. Time to work as Constellations of Justice.
Criminals, lived comfy so far? You're toast.
The changes came fast.
The first hit courtrooms.
“The defendant is hereby sentenced to one year imprisonment.”
Hey, this right?
“!?”
No, three prior DUIs? Did it again, caused accident. No fatalities but 4-week injury victim—and just one year?
They interfered with courtroom verdicts.
These types never repent. Jail 'em, they'll reoffend.
Waste cash on jail? No right to live. Next time, they'll kill.
Thus, our verdict!?
Executions happened right there.
The repeat DUI offender's body burst like a balloon.
Ugh! Fraudster? Scammed 100 million? Death for you too!
Drunk assault? Victim 8-week injury? Death!
Spreading online porn? Death, you punk!
Countless suspects mid-trial burst and died.
It wasn't just Korea—worldwide, and the scope expanded before a day passed.
Any need to spare convicts?
Fact: high reoffend rate.
Letting threats loose in society? Sin. Just kill 'em.
Now people with records began dying.
Hey, killing too painlessly?
True. Instant pop—they don't even know.
Harmed others? Die suffering. Every torment first.
Some burst into flames alive.
Some drowned while conscious.
Some had skin peeled, salt rubbed in, and died.
Ahh! So refreshing!
This is justice!
Society finally running right!
Countless humans trembled in terror.
They addressed humanity with benevolent tones.
Hey, chill. We're not the bad guys.
Yeah, Constellations of Justice, right? Only punish the wicked.
Why so scared? Guilty? That's why.
Society ground to a halt.
Hey asshole! Jaywalker nabbed! You screw over good drivers! Death!
Street pissing? No shame? Why even live? Die.
Free subway? Tax thief! Die!
They forgave no infractions, however minor.
Prisoners need retrial too?
Yeah, proper judgment.
Retrial go!
Worldwide inmates dead in a day.
Phew! That's the good stuff!
Lol, no more tax waste on crook jails. Perfect.
A world without criminals.
Then, one Constellation of Justice spoke.
But criminal DNA, right?
Heard that. Dog's kid is dog.
Criminal spawn super likely criminals. Beans beget beans.
Kill the kids. End criminal DNA.
They enacted guilt by association.
Right! Fraud families—not just kids, whole fam dies!
Yeah! Lived fat off scam cash. Fair kill-all!
Fraud fam: exterminate nine clans?
All criminal fams: nine clans.
Families of criminals died.
Even distant kin who never met the perp.
Phrenology time?
Why?
Face encodes destiny. Predict criminal futures.
Oh, preempt via looks? Nice.
People resembling criminals died too.
They called phrenology science.
“Stop this!”
One lawyer stepped up to block them.
“Your actions are nothing but merciless violence! Law must be fair and impartial, with punishments graduated by crime! Why make killing the default!”
...What?
What’s this punk saying?
Huh? Lawyer? Defending crooks?
Every Constellation of Justice swarmed the lawyer.
Forgive if your mom got beat by a criminal?
Parents' life savings scammed? Forgive?
Dad in crash—even DUI? Forgive?
Punk mouthing off 'cause not personal.
Hey...
All Constellations of Justice cried out in unison.
Unified, their power overwhelmed—the lawyer burst and died.
While at it, judge lawyers.
Money-blind, defended crooks. Evilest scum.
Any lawyer ever defended a criminal: die.
Every lawyer on Earth died.
Peace at last.
Yeah, this is peace.
After the masses perished, all societies fragmented and stalled.
Survivors were mostly innocents, but terror of implication paralyzed them.
Why so quiet, everyone?
Yeah? Super quiet.
Even without criminal intent, humans couldn't stomach the risk.
Overdid the kills?
But all criminals. Society needs it.
No driving—fear of at-fault accidents.
No crossing streets—signal change might count as jaywalking.
No dating—sex might be rape; or victim side false accusation.
Ah, bored.
Bored af. Dopamine fix?
Yeah. Foundation remnants left?
Killed 'em all last time.
Bummer.
Guilt by association loomed largest.
Live pure, but a relative—even unknown—crimes? You're dead.
...Sigh, think we blew it?
Even infinitesimal odds.
Humans live aware of possibilities.
...Yeah?
Half a year after Constellations of Justice descended.
Two-thirds of humanity dead.
One-third direct kills; remaining third from wrecked infrastructure—no treatment, starvation, suicides from stress and fear.
Totally ruined.
Ugh, recovery years away?
Century minimum.
Constellations of Justice fell silent.
From within, one cried out.
...Would've collapsed anyway without us.
Society was trash.
Just sped it up.
They abandoned Earth.
Ah, bored.
Dopamine hunt.
Drop some bait.
All that remained: severed, ruined human society.
…….
“I know them.”
I told the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court what I knew.
“Called Constellations of Justice, but also known as Community Constellations. Immense power, zero accountability. They just swing it.”
Constellations of Justice.
Inspired by community comments on incidents—creator said ‘entities born from comments on events.’
‘But differs a bit from what I know.’
In the game, single entity.
Rally people, flip opinion—they fled. Thus, mere danger grade.
‘Yet beyond the right eye: multiples.’
They shaped opinion, rampaged worse than game, destroyed everything.
Hearing me, the Chief Justice said,
Thanks. Now I get it.
“What will you do?”
Challenge it. You revealed the future—avoid them, success odds higher than before.
The Chief Justice activated the Scales of Good and Evil.
I'll succeed for sure.
Moments later.
His body crumbled to dust and vanished.
“Damn.”
Seemed like a failure.
‘Prepared thoroughly, yet failed.’
I snapped the dust pile on his wheelchair with the enhanced Polaroid.
Wrote on the back of the developed photo.
[End of Conviction] ‘Maybe the right eye's future vision let the Constellations spot him first.’ ‘The Munchkin Mary Sue Constellation and Dr. Janus sensed the right eye's gaze too?’ So upon linking, they targeted him immediately. Anyway, with this, time to prepare. “Was it 24 hours?” The time it took them to cross?
