Gorr’s appearance had tilted the battle in Hunter’s favour. However, that advantage was soon shattered when more ships arrived, and more warriors joined the battle.

A few mercenaries who wanted to curry favour with the Heavens Court had also arrived and joined the battle, adding to the already destructive nature of carnage.

Chaos erupted everywhere.

Gorr had slaughtered all 120-plus gods and was locked in battle with the new arrivals, making sure nobody got close to Klaus’s parents.

His mission was to get them to the Beast Universe.

However, five minutes after his arrival, even he started to doubt he could make it through.

The only luck on their side was the fact that, aside from the two Supremes who had arrived by burning their life force to boost their speed, no others came.

It appeared that the rest were from distant territories, living far from where Hunter and his people were ambushed. So it would take them a while to arrive.

As a result, Hunter and his people were holding their own.

But it soon became clear when Uncle Jojo was injured.

A demigod managed to slip past him, stabbing a sword into his shoulder. The pain and the effect of the poison on the blade took hold of him instantly.

Luckily, Lady Elysia was close by and managed to kill the demigod, allowing Hunter to send Uncle Jojo away for his alchemists to take care of him.

A few seconds later, Uncle James was also gravely injured, so he was forced to leave. Uncle Xian followed suit, and before long, only Uncle Ziggy, Hunter, Lady Elysia, and Gorr remained.

Uncle Ziggy was like a machine of endless slaughter. Wherever his revolvers pointed, bodies fell. When Uncle Xian was pulled away, he activated a skill called [Black Out].

The moment the skill was activated, his humanity was turned off, and all forms of pain and fatigue were pushed aside, turning him into a killing machine.

Bullets flew wildly to the point that many started to run.

None dared come near him. Even the gods were taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Only Hunter knew that in two minutes, Uncle Ziggy would run out of juice and pass out. So he positioned a sword near him and waited.

Meanwhile, he himself had reduced the Supreme to a pitiful state. The poison did most of the work. However, under Hunter’s relentless assault, the poor bastard was slowly pushed toward the jaws of death until eventually, he was swallowed whole.

The moment he died, Hunter let out a thunderous laugh, then his eyes turned crimson.

He raised his sword, and under everyone’s shocked gaze, he stabbed himself in the chest and pushed the sword in. However, instead of the sword appearing behind him, it never did.

He pushed and pushed until even the hilt vanished into his body.

Lady Elysia bit her lips, knowing fully well what Hunter was about to do. Even far away in the Demon Universe, King Alastor frowned, slightly regretful that his son had been pushed to the point where he had to use such a forbidden art.

He knew there was no turning back from this.

"These bastards, they truly don’t know when to stop, do they?" Queen Ophelia’s fury burned like a volcano as she watched Hunter smile.

However, just when he was about to break the seal binding his humanity to his soul, a hand emerged from the void and grabbed him.

"No need for that, Mad Hunter. The battle is not yet lost."

A grey-haired old man appeared from the void, his back hunched. He had a cane in his other hand. The moment he appeared, every last warrior aside from Hunter, Uncle Ziggy, Gorr, and Lady Elysia halted their actions.

Gasps echoed across billions of location around the universe when they recognised the man who had arrived.

During the era of the Star Monarch, he was merely an orphaned child being bullied by his peers. As a result, he developed an inferiority complex that made him look down on himself.

He allowed himself to be tossed around, making every day agonising.

However, that changed the day he awakened.

His class was a rare one, only said to have appeared twice since the dawn of time. The first was during the Primordial Era, when a normal human awakened the Grim Judge Class.

The second time was during the era of the Paragon of War.

During the Star Monarch Era, this child awakened a rare class that allowed him to pass judgment on people. His class was as simple as that. He could find just about anyone guilty, and depending on their crimes, he would sentence them accordingly.

Many speculated that he was a demon because he was never seen in public, given his quiet nature.

However, when the Star Monarch rose to fame, it was discovered that he and the Grim Judge were allies. In fact, it was the Star Monarch who raised him like his own child into a powerful Universal God.

The Heavens Court feared him so much that when it was discovered he had appeared on Planet BlueCrest, they deployed their army, and on that day, billions were killed. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Now, it became clear he wasn’t dead, and the most shocking part was that he had appeared before everyone alive and as a Supreme.

Watching him raise his hand like a judge, everyone broke into cold sweats.

However, to their shock, his judgment wasn’t what they all expected. Many thought he would sentence them to an immediate death.

"For your crimes against the parents of the Paragon and his uncles, I find you all guilty. Your punishment shall be a million-year banishment to the Foreign Battlefield. You shall serve your universe as warriors trained to fight for peace and prosperity.

All who violate this judgment will die at the hand of their own weapons."

"Damn you, hunchback!"

A god screamed and unleashed a deadly attack, aiming to take Lady Elysia’s head off. However, the attack suddenly curved back toward the sender.

The god who had poured so much energy into his attack could only stare in shock as his own attack claimed his life.

"Like I said, you die by your own sword," the Grim Judge stated before snapping his fingers. "Now be gone and serve your sentence in full."

Over 100,000 warriors, both healthy and injured, vanished at once.

---

Somewhere in a scorching desert filled with thousands of sand worms, a portal opened in the sky, and thousands of warriors, both from the 25th Heavens Army and mercenary groups, dropped through it, landing on the burning dunes.

Some fell with a thud while others landed on their feet.

The heat of the sand soon overwhelmed them. Those who were injured felt like dying that very moment. However, they were forced to pull their broken bodies up and run, considering that just ahead of them, the sand had started caving in.

Those who had been to the Ancient Foreign Battlefield knew that when the sands started caving in, you always ran.

"Damn you, Grim Judge. If I survive this, I will make sure your death is very painful!" A god cursed as he made a run for it, not caring about the lives of his injured teammates.

In no time, thousands were killed as countless sand worms burst out from the dunes.

Meanwhile, the moment every warrior vanished from the scene, ten ships appeared at the battlefield, and the top-ranked members of the 25th Heavens Army finally arrived, their fury burning intensely.
