Deep in the Living-Chapter 888 - 867: Judgment

Central Prison,

also known as Ultimate Madness Containment (U.M.C).

Built personally by the Prison Director, made from a special metal material not found anywhere in the universe, a mysterious metal only derived from the Prison Director himself.

This metal effectively restricts any form of divinity, while continuously evoking the most primal emotions in individuals.

Restrict divinity with metal, restrain madness with fear.

Even though the Prison Director is dead, the Central Prison remains intact.

Either because over thousands to tens of thousands of years, or even longer periods of imprisonment, these death row inmates have come to regard the prison as their "home" and are unwilling to destroy it.

Or perhaps they have already seized the core control rights of the prison, taking ownership of such a perfect facility, enabling effective control over certain extreme death row inmates.

After all, the death row inmates themselves are tainted with madness, each a unique existence, extremely difficult to unite, and require extreme management methods to act collectively.

Death row inmates hindering the "ultimate plan" are imprisoned in the Central Prison, and their treatment is worse than when the Prison Director was present.

[Central Prison - Main Judgement Hall]

Those mad gods once personally captured by the Prison Director will be brought here in a restrained state to face judgment.

The divine beings captured here have travelled far on the path of divinity, to the extent that their madness, their malice has become deeply entrenched.

To the extent that their judgment results are tagged as death row inmates,

However, their subsequent imprisonment and treatment will differ.

A very few death row inmates can receive the Prison Director's "special attention," even secretly developing.

Nowadays,

here has become the judgement place for the death row inmates themselves, any individual against the collective will is brought here for judgment.

Of course, such judgments are more unreasonable, sometimes predetermined even before the judgment.

At this moment,

a middle-aged man with black hair and wearing ordinary glasses is deeply restrained in the judgment seat.

Each of his fingers is "temporarily removed," sealed in a metal container in front of him, 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

his eyes covered with special black tape, unable to see any external objects during the trial.

His clothing is completely stripped, his entire body wrapped in white bandages similar to a shroud, standing upright in the center area.

He is the Shop Owner,

accused of concealing the severe crime of the Prison Director's arm, brought back to Central Prison awaiting extreme judgment from within the death row inmates.

In front of him,

sitting on the judgment seats of varied shapes like mountain heights, are death row inmates emanating intense divinity, serving as judges to decide the matter.

The "Skin Bag Guest," naturally serving as an important witness, is among them.

In the center, at the highest former seat belonging to the Prison Director's avatar, sits a [creature].

Normal human eyes struggle to categorize its species,

its appearance changes with each conscious observer,

a "complete aggregation" form,

corresponding to all life forms the individual has seen and perfectly pieced together in consciousness, ultimately projecting its image.

The more life forms the individual has encountered, the more complex it becomes.

If newly birthed entities or lower consciousness lacking beings observe him (a minimal chance), they see its "true form."

Its ranking surpasses the Shop Owner and Skin Bag Guest.

Previously a death row inmate, isolated in the depths of the Prison, with special segregation measures applied, tagged as:

"Restricted to Prison Director Contact," "Highest Danger Level," "Fallen Divinity."

He will serve as today's chief judge, delivering a reasonable judgment to the Shop Owner.

A cacophony of voices from a multitude of heads fills the judgment hall:

"Mr. Ito,

in the face of discovering the Prison Director's right arm, you failed to report any information.

Not only that, but you completely concealed the world influenced by the arm, assisting the Prison Director's selection plan to proceed smoothly.

The prison guard selection has concluded, several fear-system entities have become gods and successfully escaped, these beings pose significant threats to us.

Your individual actions have already touched our bottom line, severely disrupting, impacting, and even intervening in the ultimate plan.

With conclusive evidence, we will directly render judgment upon you.

Divine status will be stripped, divine position will be relocated."

Despite hearing the most severe judgment, the Shop Owner remains unfazed, opening his mouth to speak: "If everything is judged directly like this, I imagine half of those present won't remain in a century.

I do indeed have personal objectives on Earth.

Including chasing Mura, developing disciples, and independently developing the Prison Director's right arm, for which I indeed harbored personal intentions, concealed information, and deliberately hid the Earth's location.

However, I did not facilitate the new Prison Director's selection.

In the selection personnel, there are 'my people.'

The vortex entity you've imprisoned, who I selected from this world, perfectly aligns with the comic system and possesses the ability to acquire the Prison Director's successor rights.

Even if not chosen, acknowledgment was given by the Prison Director.

You ought to easily discern the deep mark of my comic within his fear system, inseparable.

My original plan,

was indeed to cultivate a disciple clerk capable of inheriting the Prison Director's right arm; I could benefit while removing lingering threats from the Prison Director.

After all, to this day, we have yet to find a way to eradicate the 'Prison Director,' haven't we?"

However, the Skin Bag Guest raises his hand, questioning as a judge:

"Wait, I recall you saving a particularly interesting, undefined divine-sphere little fellow under 'disciple' status?

But when you were escorted to the Central Prison, that little fellow was nowhere to be found? How do you explain this? In my view, such undefined-divine-status Abnormal is also a potential threat."

The Shop Owner calmly replies, "Luo Di made an agreement with me to help erase Emperor Mura's Divine Sense, and he succeeded, performing excellently.

Based on our signed agreement,

I will safeguard his life under any circumstances, just didn't expect the agreement to be enforced so soon.

He has now been relocated by me, departed entirely with a mobile planet, and I am unsure of the exact location.

If you are interested in tracing such an undefined-divine-status, un-growing little fellow, you are welcome to spend considerable effort hunting for his location."

Nevertheless,

the Shop Owner's purported appeals hold no substance.

The verdict is fixed, representing the wish of most death row inmates.

Not rooted in fairness or justice, yet tied to the unfamiliarity between Ito and these beings, some of the relationships with part of the death row inmates are quite strained.

If he is stripped of divine status and perishes,

a certain [position] will become vacant,

the prison has many beings awaiting an upper position.

When the gathered death row inmates plan to jointly execute the Shop Owner, the aggregation sitting in the high position also descends swiftly, preparing to personally conduct the divine status separation.

Wow!

An eccentric, infant's cry suddenly reverberates throughout the vast judgment hall.

Immediately,

a seemingly ordinary, cloth-draped, belly-swollen pregnant woman emerges from the shadows.

Upon seeing the pregnant woman,

even the aggregation presiding over this occasion stiffens its body, lowering its head.

Nonetheless, it unveils a fierce glare, casting a look at the Shop Owner.

It seems the Shop Owner anticipated this being's intervention from the start, this trial was destined to be disrupted.

The pregnant woman approaches the Shop Owner, signaling some cue.

The latter promptly bows his head, inclining his ear towards the pregnant woman's swollen belly.

Simultaneously,

a voice resonates within the minds of all death row inmates.

"The judgment on Ito is revised as follows:

1. Freedom permissions temporarily stripped, individual confined in deep secluded prison cell.

2. Continue thorough investigation on incidents linked to the Prison Director's right arm, if it's conclusively determined Ito facilitated the emergence of the new Prison Director, divine status will be forcibly stripped.

3. Conduct comprehensive search, identify escaped entities from the grand selection, including undefined-divine-status special Divine."

Earlier, Ito showed little change upon hearing of his impending execution,

yet upon hearing this verdict, his complexion turns grim, albeit trying his utmost to stabilize his mind, nodding in affirmation of this judgment.
