God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss-Chapter 479 CH 465: ERROR
Chapter 479 CH 465: ERROR
What was the Phantasm Realm in essence? A question that has been asked for eons…
This was the world born from the imagination, skills, and heart of the creator and the wielder who had reached the realm where they could manifest their ideals into reality.
It was the representation of their inner mind and innermost being.
Takoda was 60 years old as of now and despite the long years of his existence, he was still considered a young adult in the Werewolf community.
This did not change the fact that he was nothing more than a failure who did not manage to reach the S rank despite having a father who was the Alpha of their pack and the leader of their clan.
His talent, or lack thereof, was clear for all the elders to witness and observe.
This was why, even after becoming an Alpha, no one expected much from him, and if he had to be honest— Takoda did not expect much from himself as well. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Was it perhaps the reason why?
When he managed to actually open the Gate of Truth, the most surprised was none other than he himself.
His joy though turned into bitterness and then acceptance when he realized what the nature of the gate was.
Despite his lack of talent, he had done something many so-called geniuses could never manage to do. He had reached his truth. However, his truth was something that he could never expect…
[Crime and Punishment]
This was a Phantasm Realm born from his guilt, his torn heart, his indecisions, and his regrets.
Generally, the stronger the restrictions of a realm were, the stronger the effects would be. This was a universal rule that applied to all Phantasm Realms. It was more akin to a law of existence.
But even then, realm owners would always make sure the effects of their realm didn't apply to them. This was because if they were under the effects of their own Realm then there was no reason to even use it, right?
For example, a fire user would not be able to feel the heat of his own domain. Or rather, the heat of his own domain would not be willing to affect him.
But Takoda was different in this aspect.
In the same image of a bastard who betrayed his loved one, his gate could turn even against himself. It was fit to say that the gate mirrored him quite well. His truth, his final weapon, his most inner self… in the end, betrayed him as he had betrayed his own flesh and blood.
His domain applied both to himself and everyone else in the most impartial way and exactly because he was not exempt from the effects of this domain it became that much more powerful. It was the so-called ultimate domain.
The effects were rather simple. Everything was in the name after all.
His gate had three steps.
One — Judge the number of crimes of each individual inside the realm.
Two — Analyze the degree of guilt one should feel for the crimes. But also the weight of the sin they committed based on his own judgment.
Once those three conditions were reunited, the total weight of each crime would be calculated and then the effects would immediately apply.
[Shackles]
The greater the weight of the sin, the more powerful the debuff would be. The more burdened the person influenced by the domain would become.
Losing speed, strength, durability, or even the use of skills would become far more complicated until one would be completely frozen in both body and mind.
The more sins you have committed the greater your punishment would be. Slowly weakening one to near oblivion and extinguishing their existence under the burden of their very own sins.
— This domain was born form his guilt and he considered himself as one of the greatest sinners of this realm. Perhaps the greatest of them all.
'Kuh!'
Takoda grunted. He immediately understood that he was taking the effects of his own skills.
A grim reaper holding a long chain in one hand and a balance in another appeared in the air in the part that was represented by Takoda's domain
[Takoda had lived for 60 years.]
[During those years he had been spoiled, hurt many people, and abused the power he was born with.]
[Number of Petty Crimes: Countless]
[Number of People Killed Directly: 15]
[Number of People who Died Indirectly: 100]
[Greatest Sin: Killing his own Father]
[Verdict: Irredeemably Guilty!]
The judgment was nigh immediate. The balance tilted and the verdict was clear.
[Punishment: Sealing of all power]
Chains flew at near-instantaneous speed and bound him from head to toe, but he only laughed. This was the most ambiguous and hypocritical part of his realm.
Since Takoda saw himself as the greatest sinner, he would always receive the highest punishment which was the sealing of all of his powers.
But this brought a paradox. An oxymoron that just couldn't be made sense of no matter how one thought of it. The nature of a true paradox.
This realm was HIS power.
If so then, how could the realm bring judgment if it sealed itself?
This created a paradox close to the Paradox of Omnipotence. The oldest paradox in existence. [1]
[The Judge has decided that he could not apply his judgment now and continue his function. Judgment has been deferred]
'Truly. Even my own Realm reflects my Hypocrisy. Maybe that's why this power only belongs to me.'
He sighed as the light of judgment immediately shone on the other three.
As they usually said, it may have taken long to describe, but everything happened in less than the blink of an eye.
The crimes of the three were immediately listed.
The crimes of Natasha were surprisingly small and her act of killing demons had not even been considered. In the end, she was only given a small debuff that slowed down her speed.
[Unnamed Entity]
[Temporary Name: Fenrir's Shadow]
[Age: 21]
[Number of crimes: …None]
[Punishment: None]
Takoda opened his eyes wide. If his jaw had not been cut off, he would have been screaming bullshit with all the strength in his lungs.
But the Reaper of Judgment continued with his so-called judgment unabashed.
[Name: Lycaon]
[Surface Age: 10000+ years. Estimated Age: Unable to Calculate]
[Number of Crimes: Unable to Calculate]
[Number of People Killed: Unable to Calculate]
[Verdict: Non- Guilty]
[Name: Adam Gospel]
[Surface Age: 21. Estimated Age: 23]
[Number of Petty crimes: Countless]
[Number of people indirectly Killed: 235]
[Number of People Killed Directly: ....Calculating …Adding individuals killed in all realities]
[Number of People Killed: More than 20 thousand]
[Verdict: Irredeemably Guilty]
[Punishment: Sealing of all power]
The chain flew toward Adam, but the very moment they touched him, they started to break down as if they had been corroded by some unknown phenomenon.
[Error: Unable to seal the power. Risk of destruction. Changement in Verdict….]
[New Verdict: …Non Guilty]
Silence.
Total silence was all that reigned in the realm.
Even Fenrir's shadow was so baffled by the current event that it was frozen solid.
Fenrir, with its awakening, had caused many accidents and though it didn't know exactly, undoubtedly many deaths.
Adam had his hand drenched in blood. In terms of pure ratio, he had been on a massacre spree ever since he obtained his power.
As for Lycaon… was there anything else to say?
In the end… None of the people present were deemed guilty.
Takoda meanwhile wished for nothing more than death at this very moment.
If he still had hands, he would be using them to cover his face to hide himself from all the shame he was currently feeling.
"Pfft! Hahaha! Judge us? It seems like you are still not worthy."
Lycaon had never laughed so much in his life but in reality he also understory that this was only because of how immature the realm still was.
In this world, who could say with certainty that they have never sinned nor hurt anyone?
This was a very dangerous power with great potential.
"Remove kid. Punishment made by the law can only be executed When the Coercive force is high enough. Without enough strength, Morality and legality are nothing but bullshit."
He grinned and looked back at Adam, "So now little brother. What are you gonna do? It seems like your trump card failed."
"Trump card?"
Adam chuckled.
"Takoda…"
Takoda looked up, he was ready to see disappointment once again in the eyes. But he was surprised to see nothing but joy.
"Thanks for giving me enough time."
[Synchronization terminated]
[Entering the Sea of subconscious]
Adam needed to fight Lycaon to keep him occupied. He also needed to use the chance to grow stronger.
At the same time — He needed to save Natasha.
Who said that he could not do everything at the same time?
Why did he have to constraints himself?
Adam remembered the thing he once said in jest to Eve when they first meet.
"Choices are for children."
A smile filled his face.
"I want everything."
Even if it was greedy. Even if it could be seen as reckless.
He wanted everything and Takoda had given him the clue he missed to make it possible.
"Now — Let's fight three fronts at the same time!"
A sculpture made of ice appeared before Adam 's appearance. This was nothing but a puppet controlled by one of his minds.
Adam's body moved, clashing with Lycaon.
Two of his minds were responsible for this.
Finally — The last mind … Woke up in another world of ice and snow.
It was the world of dreams.
[1]: Before starting, this is in no way or shape me trying to deny the existence or omnipotence of God as described in any religion or belief. I am simply stating what I know and what is given by Wikipedia.
This is a Paradox used to explain why Omnipotence is in reality impossible. At least to what we can understand.
Basically, The best-known version of the omnipotence paradox is the paradox of the stone: "Could God create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?" This is a paradoxical question because if God could create something he could not do, then he would not be omnipotent.
Similarly, if God was able to lift the stone then that would mean he was unable to create something he could not do, leading to the same result. There is also a question about God killing himself. If God can kill himself then he is not omnipotent. If he cannot kill himself then once again he is not omnipotent.
