The judgment was over, but unfortunately...
Some mistakes, once made, left no chance for regret.
Vivi would not give them that chance, either.
"The performance is over."
Watching this farce, Vivi raised her hand expressionlessly and delivered the final verdict:
"Judgment has arrived."
Bzzz!!!
In the sky.
Above that enormous golden divine silhouette, amid a humming sound...
The clouds were forcibly torn apart.
A colossal holy sword a thousand meters long, its entire body flashing with dazzling, illusory sacred light, slowly emerged through the broken clouds like the ultimate punishment hanging over Damocles's head.
