Only a single ray of light remained between heaven and earth.
[Sinful Karma] looked up and saw nothing but death.
Before it could even think of anything else, the blade that pierced through everything pinned it dead in the depths of the universe.
Its last lingering consciousness understood only one thing.
What could judge [Sinful Karma] was not itself, but a god who wielded authority over death.
This was true judgment.
It had passed judgment on sins all its life, only to die at last to true judgment, the judgment that belonged to all living beings.
The instant the blade fell, the universe shook with a thunderous roar.
Far away at the End of the World, Horizon was gazing into the distance when the tremor knocked her off balance, making her stumble.
The Doomsday Tower standing in the Present World abruptly went black, its progress bar seemingly filling all at once.
Like an emotionally exhausted big dog that had suddenly been kicked, the kick had been so powerful that it simply crashed.
The absolute blade of judgment reappeared in the world, and at the moment it slew the First Calamity Below the Gods-
The power that erupted ignored the distance measured in light-years, conveying what had happened here to every corner of the world and every living being in the most direct, brutal way.
Whether they understood what it meant or not.
At the End of the World, countless people offered their warm greetings.
"Holy ***, is the world ending?!"
"Does anyone get it? I was on the toilet. Could you not make such a huge commotion when I'm at my most vulnerable?"
"I've fucking had it. I nearly slit my own throat with my sword and went straight to the River of Forgetfulness. Does anyone know what actually happened?"
