On the platforms scattered around the Clock Dial, all the players silently watched Mistblade, the woman now ranked first on the Ladder Ranking.
Her pain was so clear, her wounds so hideous. Neither great power nor exalted status could heal them.
Light and shadow glimmered on Kufu's forehead. He did not answer Mistblade's words, but instead asked, "Do you know what my Deity Talent word is?"
Dragging his bone scythe toward Mistblade, he answered his own question. "'Sin Blood.'"
"I'm indeed not as true to myself as you are. You never deny your sins, and you never feel guilty about the wrongs you've committed, because you believe you have no right to feel guilty.
"But I'm different. During every invasion, I wielded my bone scythe just as resolutely as you did, yet I always weakly repented after the battle. Even my Deity Talent word now judges me guilty."
"Then do you plead guilty?" Mistblade asked.
"No, of course not!" That was Kufu's answer.
That was the final exchange between the Moon Fox and the Undead.
The Blood Mist Saber clashed with the bone scythe, announcing the start of the duel.
Every player, Kufu included, understood that if Mistblade won, she would certainly have the Godly Game randomly execute 20% of the Undead.
Kufu had countless legitimate reasons for invading. There had been far, far too many things he had no choice about, and Mistblade understood those reasons too.
But so what?
She did not care about those unavoidable circumstances. She did not care whether this execution would harm the innocent...
She would simply savor this moment of revenge bestowed upon her by the Chaotic Star Sea!
Clang-clang-clang!
The clash of weapons echoed over the Clock Dial.
Yu Xunge urgently contacted "Zai Jiu."
