Lonely Bond said that most "guardians" and "administrators" were Divine Beings, though there were certainly some exceptions.
At that moment, the so-called acquaintance Tang Qi was watching was one such exception.
The figure he saw possessed no Divinity Aura.
And the only reason it qualified as an "acquaintance" was because Tang Qi's explosive increase in strength had granted him an exceptional memory. They had met once and interacted before, and now they were meeting again in an unfamiliar world above the Boundless Mystery, so it could reasonably be considered an acquaintance.
The scene reflected in Tang Qi's eyes was this:
Incomparably wondrous gray-white lines formed and stacked into a pyramid-like structure. At its Spire Tip crouched a figure even larger than an ordinary Titan.
Its body seemed to have been cast from stone. Its hands supported its head, and most of its features resembled those of an ape, but its face was nearly blank.
Its only "organ" was a glowing Triangle Symbol.
It was using that organ to read. Books flickered into existence one after another, their pages turning rapidly before they flickered away again.
"Dissenter's Stone Statue!"
Tang Qi murmured in surprise.
The one he was watching was the stone statue he had spoken with long ago, when Tang Qi had served as a witness in a Court of Justice trial and helped Rose Madeline save her close friend, a Demigod Level Princess of some foreign race.
"According to the Court of Justice's design, that statue should have been the final safeguard against mistakes."
"Although a wrongful verdict was avoided last time because of my interference, the statue's contribution can't be denied."
"But if it isn't fulfilling its duties in the court, why is it here?"
Just as Tang Qi was puzzled, Lonely Bond's explanation came at the right
