Justice Mentor

Deep in the Fog Sea.

Looking down from extremely high altitudes, within the boundless, thick Fog, there exists a unique vacuum zone. Ships lined up in formation leave long trails of water, their imposing presence a testament to their pursuit of the "Black Throne."

For the first time in centuries, this deep misty area was bathed in such intense sunlight. And so, under the sunlight, all the colors here became vivid and striking.

The Sun overhead shone a dazzling golden light; the Sea below was a deep, azure blue; and the surrounding Fog, like a wall, was a heavy, pale gray. On that azure sea, the white-painted Intis warships reflected a blinding light, numerous like a pack of wolves, hunting their precious prey.

Their target, the "Black Throne," was an incredibly dense, dark black.

At first, the darkness was gradually becoming transparent. As a peculiar Ships built during the Solomon Empire era, it, like Nast's "The Black Emperor," possessed the ability to traverse the Spirit World, thus "Travel" to areas that were difficult for the fleet to reach.

However, the shells fired by the strange warship led by Intis had a peculiar effect, impacting the surrounding Spirit World!

"Splash..."

The gradually transparent "Black Throne" solidified again, as if it had crashed into some non-existent wall, and came to an abrupt stop. The chains on the ship clattered together with a crisp sound.

The surrounding Spirit World is blocked!

"Efficient!"

A gleam of delight flashed in Rear Admiral François's eyes, and he immediately issued a new order without hesitation, "All Ships, open fire at will!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire sea, echoing in the minds of every soldier and officer.

The naval officers and soldiers were initially stunned by the bishop's powerful ability to dispel the fog, falling into fear and confusion. However, as the rear admiral's voice rang out, it subtly influenced them, greatly encouraging them and filling their hearts with Courage and fearlessness!

What Archbishop, what Ghost Ship, none of that matters anymore. They are the glorious Intis Navy, destined to bask in the glory of war's iron and blood!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The soldiers' enthusiasm was palpable; all the warships fired in rapid succession, their cannons of varying calibers flashing and billowing smoke. Countless shells, carrying immense energy, rained down on the Black Throne, filling the space around it.

However, a strange thing happened. Although there were many cannonballs, when they were about to hit the black three-masted sailing ship, their trajectories deviated strangely from their course, either falling straight into the water or turning and flying to the other side.

Within a short time, countless water columns rose from the sea around the Black Throne, yet its main body remained completely unharmed.

That's for sure, this outcome reflects the "chaos" inherent in the "Lawyer" Pathway!

Luther, parasitizing Lieutenant Philip's body, witnesses the battle through his eyes. Although the latter is influenced by the major general's abilities and fanatically leads his soldiers to fire, Luzer remains calm and analyzes the situation.

The Intis have prevented the Black Throne from escaping, but even so, their attacks are ineffective in the chaos. So, what will they do next?

Just then, on the distant Flagship, Bishop Jean- Pierre made his move once again.

"Stop using your abilities and step aside."

He first addressed the major general who had taken the "Hunter" Pathway, saying, "Otherwise, you will be rejected by the power of the Lord."

When François cooperatively withdrew his power and stepped back, he took a step forward, raised his hands, and looked at the black sailboat in front of him. A sense of dignified and undeniable Order gradually welled up in his eyes.

"The remnants of a Degeneration empire..."

Pierre said in a low voice, his face contorted with disgust.

Then, he raised his voice and began to recite a prayer. "Lord! Your Holy Spirit is with us always, Your eyes are on my heart."

With each word he uttered, Archbishop Pierre's aura grew stronger, and an invisible set of rules spread out, rapidly filling the entire sea area centered on him.

"I swear to your glory, I will uphold Justice, I will Destruction all evil, and I will punish the Lord's enemies."

"Roselle is evil, Roselle is the enemy of God!"

"My Justice will be blessed by you!"

Brush!

As Pierre fully proclaimed his set of principles of "Justice," the Order on the entire sea seemed to shift.

All the fleet members pursuing Roselle's remnants felt a strange enhancement, as if they themselves had become representatives of absolute Justice. Meanwhile, the fleeing Black Throne was severely suppressed; as an item associated with Roselle, it had become a symbol of injustice.

The powerful ability of Sequence 3 "Justice Mentor," the "Justice Halo"!

"These religious guys are a bunch of Lunatic... The higher the Sequence, the more mentally unstable they are..."

Feeling the invisible Contract and rules governing the entire sea, and seeing the soldiers on the ship kneeling down in fervent prayer, François thought to himself. As a nobleman with a profound background, although his own strength had not yet reached Sequence 3, he still had some understanding of the abilities of the "Justice Mentor".

The so-called "Justice Mentor" will form a set of "Justice" principles based on his own understanding that conform to the characteristics of the "Sun" Pathway itself. For the Justice Mentor, this is his own "Order," a "Contract" he has made with himself, with the God, and with the world.

This Contract is mandatory. When he activates his "Justice Halo" ability, everyone around him who abides by the Contract will receive a significant boost, while those who violate these principles will be greatly weakened. The "Justice Mentor" himself must also adhere to his own principles; if he violates even one, he will be consumed by his own flames from within.

Jean- Pierre's code of Justice is actually very simple: to resist Emperor Roselle —as for the reason, as Lieutenant Philip said earlier, he harbors an extremely deep hatred for Roselle.

It can only be said that this subjective and idealistic "Justice" is extremely specialized and has no effect in most situations, except when it comes to Roselle and those related to him. The Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun was right to send him.

Just as François was thinking this, the entire fleet opened fire once again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Under the influence of unseen rules, their abilities were greatly enhanced, even the cannons in the barrels were strengthened, and the shells they fired were incredibly powerful. The rules surrounding the black sailboat could not Distortion their trajectory, and finally, its hull was successfully hit by the dense barrage of cannon fire.

Moreover, on their Flagship, Archbishop Pierre continued his operation, projecting a blazing light spear!
