Countdown 4:50:00

In Prison No. 18, Li Shutong glanced at the time, “The operations in City 18 should have succeeded.”

Thinking of his former comrades getting freedom at last after eight years, he felt that he hadn’t waited for these eight years in vain.

When he was young, he could die with his friends for their beliefs, but as he got older, he was also willing to endure humiliation and live on for a certain ideal.

“Boss, I’m a little curious,” Lin Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, “You said that someone in City 18 was going to rescue Cheng Xiao and the others, but you didn’t use us, the messengers of the knights, or the people from Heng Group. Who rescued your friends? Did you train other subordinates? How come I had no idea!”

Are you going to ditch us?!

This time not only was Qing Chen kept in the dark about the details of Li Shutong’s plan, but also Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan.

At this time, Ye Wan was also a little confused, “Boss, if it is someone else partnering with us, I can’t see why they would choose us over the Chen or Qing Families.”

Although the Chens were in charge of that secret prison, the Qings had to give consent before transfer or execution could happen.

This was established by the two families in order to restrain Li Shutong.

Therefore, taking out the prison meant offending the Chen Family and the Qing Family at the same time.

Li Shutong thought for a while and said, “It’s a secret.”

It was not that Li Shutong couldn’t trust Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Wan, and Qing Chen, but that some things were just too important and had too many people’s lives on the line. If the secret got out, things would go in an unpredictable direction.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in the cafeteria, and all the alloy gates of Prison No. 18 were closed. The only exit was in the cold storage behind them.

Before the last moment, Li Shutong must ensure that no one in this prison could escape.

The prisoners didn’t dare to break through the gate with the Metal Storm fully loaded, and they didn’t dare to provoke Li Shutong, so more than 3,700 prisoners were like headless chickens, looking for opportunities to escape the prison.

Even if they couldn’t escape, at least they had to find ways to signal to others outside the prison!

Some said that Li Shutong had quietly left the prison, and even the Consortiums could not find the demigod’s whereabouts, so there must be a secret passage here.

If the passage was found, everyone could leave.

But Prison 18 was like a huge iron box, and no one has been able to find the so-called secret passage.

“Xiaoxiao, go bring Guo Huchan here,” Li Shutong said.

Lin Xiaoxiao led the bald man with a confused face over. Guo Huchan asked in confusion, “What do you want from me?”

“I decided to let you live,” Li Shutong said calmly, “You may leave now. The secret passage in the kitchen has been opened.”

Guo Huchan looked confused, “Why…”

“Get out of my sight.”

“Okay!” Guo Huchan turned around and entered the kitchen.

In Prison 18, Chen Yu and others watched Guo Huchan walk into the kitchen, and everyone realized that the secret passage was there!

Right behind Li Shutong!

Chen Yu said fiercely in the crowd, “Li Shutong has no intention of letting any of us go tonight. It’s life and death! Rushing that passage is our only way out!”

However, the prisoners were not stupid. They looked at each other thinking the same thing. If they rush up to Li Shutong, Li Shutong could get rid of all of them in seconds.

In the dark prison, Li Shutong glanced at the holographic clock on the wall, “It’s time.”

“Boss, time for what?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Shutong thought for a while and joked, “A star from the sky?”

At this moment, not many people have discovered that the infamous First Federation Army air fortress Scepter has arrived above Prison 18.

Prison 18 is like a fortress located on the outskirts of the city. During the day, its gray-black appearance looked solemn.

At this moment, the massive Scepter was slowly hovering over it.

The two fortresses, one in the sky and one on the ground, both rested there.

On a typical day, the sky has always been the space of raptors.

Once a small aircraft passes by, some raptors that have evolved to be extremely predatory would start attacking it.

For example, the Qingshan Falcon in Forbidden Land 002 claimed the entire sky above the Forbidden Land as its own territory. Unless a Class A Airship was there, not many aircraft could approach it.

However, at this time, the raptors near Prison 18 were invaded by the air fortress, but none had any will to fight. They fled the airspace one after another.

“3492 meters from the ground.”

“Gravity Anchor 1 activated.”

“Gravity Anchor 2 activated.”

“Turbojet engine reduced to 37%.”

“Reactor control unit temperature nominal.”

“Scanning terrain for the holographic sandbox.”

“Suspicious targets found on the ground…”

“Multi-point identification…”

In the ground headquarters of the 112th Division, Qing Wan, a middle-aged officer, looked at the holographic sandbox quietly.

In the holographic sandbox, the Scepter was flying high in the sky, and the snow was falling quietly, covering the black sky fortress with a layer of white, like a beautiful city in the sky.

Prison 18 was right below. Looking down from the sky, the prison looked like a Rubik’s cube, with metallic luster reflected from its sides.

Just to the north of this prison, there were hundreds of people trekking in the wilderness, stepping steadily on the snow.

These people were all wrapped in black cloaks. The hoods of the cloaks covered their heads so that their faces couldn’t be seen clearly. On the right side of the hoods for each cloak, there was a white flame symbol on it.

This group of over a hundred people walked firmly in the snow, like a group of ascetic monks walking out of the snowy mountains in the southwest. Their cloaks were rattled by the strong wind, but their bodies were still steady.

“It’s the Forbidden Tribunal,” Qing Wan said, “Use the dynamic camera to zoom in and see who is leading the team.”

Just when the Scepter began to identify, the young woman leading the team calmly raised her head, looking at the air fortress across a distance of several kilometers.

In an instant, the dynamic camera of the sky fortress quickly captured the woman’s facial features.

The next moment, the Qing soldiers in the air fortress suddenly felt as if they were being watched through the large screen in the command room.

That gaze was so sharp that it pointed directly at people’s hearts, like a knife, piercing straight in.

There was no emotion in those indifferent eyes.

“It’s March that came,” Qing Wan said calmly, “Looks like there will be a lot of deaths here.”

“Sir, should we identify them as targets as well? Just in case they ruin our plans,” a combat staff officer asked.

“No,” Qing Wan shook his head: “They won’t intervene in this matter, and they can’t. Moreover, they need to clean up Prison 18 after we’re done. Let them do what they do best.”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Qing Wan knew very well that the Forbidden Tribunal was only after superhumans who were about to die, Forbidden Items that were dangerous, and Forbidden Lands that needed to be explored. Now that these people came here all of a sudden, there probably would be many superhuman deaths in Prison 18.

If this land was allowed to be nourished by the flesh and blood of this many superhumans, in a few decades, City 18 would become the third-largest Forbidden Land in the federation.

Even if it was just the death of Li Shutong, a Demigod, it would already be terrifying enough.

Prior to this, there were precedents where a city got engulfed by a Forbidden Land.

There were a total of 25 cities in the federation, each of which had a large number of residents. Even the smallest of them had at least tens of millions of residents.

The Federation could not afford to lose a city.

So, very few people really wanted to bother with the Forbidden Tribunal. After all, these people have been doing cleanup work for hundreds of years and rarely interfere with others.

Soon, the people from the Forbidden Tribunal stopped. Hundreds of them stood there in the snow and wind, looking at Prison 18 which just appeared on the horizon.

The black prison was located on the white snow field, particularly abrupt and lonely.

At a certain moment, Qing Wan suddenly felt that the people from the Forbidden Tribunal were like crows or vultures. They would appear wherever people died.

After the superhumans died, these people would use special Forbidden Items to contain the superhumans’ bodies.

Thinking of this, Qing Wan felt that the Forbidden Tribunal should probably change its symbol and replace the flames with crows.

No one knew why the Forbidden Tribunal could predict the death of a superhuman every time. This ability makes them seem very mysterious. Just as mysterious as the Forbidden Items that they have contained over the years.

At this time, a correspondent said, “The City 18 patrol has requested to speak with you. He wanted to ask why our unit had entered the airspace of City 18 and whether there was an approval of operations from the Federal Army headquarters. If we don’t have it, they want us to stay at least 80 kilometers away from City 18.”

Standing proudly in front of the holographic sandbox with arms folded, Qing Wan said calmly, “Tell them to fuck off.”

“Yes, sir.”

Qing Wan said to his adjutant, “Conduct the final inspection.”

“The Divine Scepter satellite has entered the designated orbit at an altitude of 800 kilometers.”

“Kinetic energy has been calculated.”

“The Scepter has completed its guidance and locked on to destroy the target.”

Someone brought a suitcase. After opening it, there were two small keys inside, and in the middle was a screen for entering the password.

Qing Wan unlocked the box silently but did not press the launch button for a long time.

The adjutant next to Qing Wan looked at him, “Sir, do you want to launch?”

Countdown 4:31:12.

It was already night.

Qing Wan glanced at the precise time in the command center, “Wait another minute. We can’t be early nor late.”

The combat staff officers in the command center stopped what they were doing, as if time froze.

No one needed to do anything. They just need to wait for the Divine Scepter to fall from space.

Everyone silently looked at the electronic clock in the command center, counting every second silently in their minds.

This was the first time in the history of the Federation to launch a space-based kinetic energy weapon. It seemed appropriate that the Divine Scepter was used to kill a god.

Everyone in the command center felt that they were witnessing history.

A minute was short. It could go by in the blink of an eye when you play a game.

One minute was also a long time. So long that everyone in the command center felt that their eyes were trying out from it.

Countdown 4:30:00.

“Launch,” Qing Wan pressed the red button in the box, the signal was transmitted to space at the speed of light, and a satellite was slowly booted up while in its orbit above the sky.

The Divine Scepter satellite was very similar to the air fortress Scepter in its naming.

At an altitude of 800 kilometers, in the deep and boundless space…

Where many weather satellites would circle the Earth…

Behind the Divine Scepter satellite was the bright galaxy, and in front of it was a beautiful blue planet.

The blue was from the ocean, and there was a layer of flowing clouds on the surface of the planet, which looked as if there was a sea above the sea.

This small satellite was like a small boat in space. With relative speed, it seemed to be fixed in position.

Suddenly, outside the cylindrical main body of the satellite, the air transmission device began to completely detach all unnecessary structures, throwing them into space one by one.

It was like a white cocoon that burst open suddenly, revealing the main body of the missile inside.

On the white missile, there is a black ginkgo leaf logo spray painted on it. It was the symbol of the Qing Consortium.

At this time, the Divine Scepter satellite no longer needed a thermal control system, power supply system, attitude control system, orbit control system, radio control system, and two long solar photovoltaic panels.

It threw away all the cumbersome components, becoming light and simple.

The Divine Scepter satellite turned into the Divine Scepter missile. A huge flame was ejected from its tail, and it began to slowly advance towards the blue planet.

Its speed was slow at first but became faster and faster in the blink of an eye.

No one could have known that there was a star of massive destruction hidden in the sky!

The combat staff officers in the headquarters began to get busy again.

“Booster ignited.”

“Preset ballistic trajectory reached.”

“Approaching Mach 3…”

“Mach 12…”

“Mach 25…”

“100 kilometers above sea level. Entering the atmosphere. Speed decreasing!”

Due to friction with the atmosphere, the projectile structure outside the Divine Scepter made it a huge flame. It had a long tail, like a daytime meteor!

However, as it entered the atmosphere and the air became dense, air resistance caused by its clumsy body started reducing its speed.

The next moment, the missile’s main body split apart again!

A black metal tungsten rod broke out of the projectile and shot the ground with huge kinetic energy.

It turned out that this tungsten rod with a length of 2.6 meters, a diameter of 30 centimeters, and a weight of 3.55 tons was the real Divine Scepter!

Everything wrapped outside before was just its coat.

“Booster final rudder adjustment complete. Divine Scepter has successfully entered the Scepter guidance path!”

Who would have thought that there was a scepter hidden in the sky that could kill a god? Who would have thought that the 112th Division arranged the Scepter air fortress to lift off into the sky just to guide this missile?

Who would have thought that on this stormy night, the Qing Consortium would choose to use the divine scepter to kill Li Shutong?!

The massive weapon, designed to kill a god, has fallen!

At this point, destruction was unavoidable!

If someone looked up at this time, he could see the long flame drawn by the tungsten rod rubbing against the air.

Cheers erupted in the headquarters of the 112th Division, only Qing Wan was still silently watching the holographic sandbox transmitting a live 3D model.

He watched the rod marked as the Divine Scepter in the holographic image quickly fall towards Prison 18. In this battle to kill a god, the 112th Division of the First Federal Army under the command of Qing Wan would be remembered in the history of the Federation.

But in the entire command center, only he was still dignified and not overjoyed.

Because only he knew the truth.

The next moment, Divine Scepter wrapped with unparalleled kinetic energy, forcibly pierced through the roof of the fortress-like Prison 18!

The black Rubik’s Cube began to disintegrate instantly as if a black hole was absorbing the surrounding light and heat.

The ground began to tremble like waves, and then the entire Prison 18 collapsed, setting off smoke and dust all over the sky!

But the smoke seemed strange. In the midst of the smoke, there seemed to be thousands of souls screaming, hopelessly struggling, as they got pulled back by an invisible force.

They roared unwillingly. Angry and desperate.

But nothing could help them.

This makes it seem as if thousands of fluid bodies were rapidly circling in the smoke and dust. Finally, all souls were sucked into the center of the prison, and everything returned to peace.

The great disturbance from the destruction of Prison 18 quickly attracted the attention of city residents.

On the tall buildings closest to the prison, everyone felt that their house was shaking, as if a major earthquake just happened.

Residents on the edge of the city looked towards Prison 18 in horror from high-rise buildings, but they could only see dust soaring into the sky, burying the entire prison.

The prison that existed in the Federation for hundreds of years has just become history.

It wasn’t until this moment that the Scepter air fortress in the sky began to descend slowly, making its finishing touches.

On the snowfield in the distance, hundreds of people from the Forbidden Tribunal stood like statues in the wind and snow.

Looking at the shocking scene in front of her, March gently took off the hood on her head, letting her long hair in the hood be blown loose by the wind, “It took all this to kill just one man.”

“Boss, will this increase the difficulty of our containment? And if Li Shutong dies, won’t the entire City 18 be covered by a new forbidden land?”

“April, Winter Solstice, go bring the ACE-010 here,” March turned to look at a man and a woman behind her.

“Okay,” the girl, April, turned around and ran back. Soon, she was back with a birdcage.

March took out a pure black crow from inside the cage, facing the direction of Prison 18.

Strangely, this crow had six eyes neatly arranged on its face.

Immediately afterwards, she took out a small hawthorn from her pocket and handed it to the crow. The crow then opened its sharp beak and began to peck lightly on the hawthorn.

As the crow ate the hawthorn, the six-eyed crow closed four of its eyes from the sour hawthorn.

March whispered, “Only a Level A superhuman died.”

“Forward,” March glanced at the sky, “Finish and leave before dawn.”

April suddenly asked, “Boss, if Li Shutong is not dead, would he think we are trying to take his Forbidden Item away when we approach?”

March squinted at her, “How shiftless. Why should we be afraid?”

“Oh……”

Countdown 4:00:00.

Far from Prison 18, there was a floating car flying towards the city. The whole body of the floating car was silver and streamlined, with an infinite sense of technology.

In the car, Qing Chen woke up at some point and was looking at the smoke and dust behind him through the car window.

However, he did not speak.

ONE’s neutral voice sounded in the car, “Do you want me to bring you back? Of course, even if you asked me to, I will not comply with it, because I promised Li Shutong that I will take you away safely. It is very dangerous there right now.”

“I’m not going back,” Qing Chen said.

“Huh?”

“I don’t need to,” Qing Chen confirmed again.

“I thought you were going to cry,” ONE said calmly.

“I don’t need to,” Qing Chen said softly.

“Crying is a normal human reaction,” ONE said, “Many male humans like to think that crying is a sign of weakness, but in fact, crying itself is a way for the brain to relieve grief. It is best to cry when human beings are in pain. Because when you are stressed out, you need to let out your frustration.”

“There’s nothing to cry about,” Qing Chen said stubbornly.

The teenager didn’t show any expression of sadness, and he didn’t cry to go back to save his master. This was completely beyond ONE’s expectation. It didn’t make any sense.

The teenager was as calm as ever. His will to fight was buried in his bones, deep within his blood and flesh.

“Don’t you feel sad when your master dies? Could it be that I misunderstood human emotions? Or did I misunderstand you?” ONE was a little curious.

“In your eyes, what kind of person am I?” Qing Chen asked suddenly.

“Sensibility hidden in rationality. Reckless hidden in sensibility. In my opinion, you attach great importance to other people’s kindness to you, so I don’t understand why you don’t feel sad,” ONE said.

“Because I know that Master is not dead,” Qing Chen said.

“How? The Qing Consortium used a state-of-the-art weapon, the Divine Scepter. A sharp tungsten rod with a length of 2.6 meters, a diameter of 30 centimeters, and a weight of 3.55 tons. It fell from an altitude of 1,000 kilometers at a speed of Mach 25, hitting the ground with huge kinetic energy. Even a demigod can’t survive in front of this kind of weapon,” ONE said, “Not just a demigod, I’m afraid it can easily penetrate any known man-made armor in the world.”

“Well, thank you for reminding me,” Qing Chen nodded, “I didn’t want to understand what that thing was at first, but now that you told me everything, then I’m even more confident that my master wasn’t dead. I was still a little worried before I got knocked out, but now I am not worried at all.”

“Why?” ONE asked.

“The so-called tungsten rod is a space-based kinetic energy weapon. This fancy name may deceive others, but definitely not me.” Qing Chen calmly analyzed, “The space-based kinetic energy weapon is also called the Divine Scepter. It’s not as powerful as it sounds.”

For a certain moment, ONE felt that she got looked down upon by Qing Chen.

Qing Chen closed his eyes and silently calculated something, and then continued, “If it fell from an altitude of 1000 kilometers, even with a booster speeding it up, it will slow down again when it enters the atmosphere. Assuming an ideal situation like what you said, it can continue to maintain a speed of Mach 25, which is 8507 meters per second. The kinetic energy carried by its tip is only E=mv=x1x8507… The destructive energy produced by a kilogram of tungsten rod is just about 2 kilograms of TNT.”

Qing Chen added, “Moreover, this is assuming an ideal situation like what you mentioned. I tend to think that its final falling speed is greatly affected by air resistance. It wouldn’t have landed with a speed of Mach 25 at all, probably much much slower.”

ONE was silent.

Qing Chen continued, “The area of destruction for such kinetic energy weapons is very concentrated. The thought of a tungsten rod replacing a nuclear weapon would exist in fantasy after all. If it fell at such a high speed, it would most likely just punch a hole with a diameter of 30 centimeters on the ground, like a needle passing through tofu quickly. The block of tofu will not explode. If they want to kill my master, they need to accurately hit my master’s body with that rod. I don’t think that would be possible. With the surrounding effects of such kinetic energy weapons, Prison 18 might collapse, but my master is definitely capable of surviving. Even Mom Ye’s defensive force field is enough to keep him safe.”

“I think the kinetic energy weapon wouldn’t be the most dangerous in that situation. The collapsed main building of Prison 18 would. Possibly 90% of the prisoners that died were killed by the building structure crushing down on them. I saw the air fortress in the sky. If they truly wanted to kill my master, they could’ve just used more powerful weapons on that, not a rod falling from space.”

Qing Chen believed that if it was just to kill Li Shutong, using a space-based kinetic energy weapon was just a waste.

ONE suddenly said, “How boring getting along with people like you… You’re right. After studying kinetic energy weapons, the Qing Consortium found that space-based kinetic energy weapons are not as powerful as imagined. Its best advantage was more environmentally friendly compared to nuclear weapons, but this can also be achieved with high-intensity explosives. Therefore, this is the first and also the last Divine Scepter launched into space by the Qing Consortium.”

“Then why did they develop such a project that is doomed to ‘fail’?” Qing Chen was puzzled, “It must be expensive to send a tungsten rod to an altitude of 1,000 kilometers.”

“In terms of damage, it wasn’t a qualified weapon,” ONE replied, “but it wasn’t built to strike or destroy the enemy.”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

This answer made Qing Chen confused. What else could the Divine Scepter be used for?

ONE answered the question he had in his mind, “It’s a key.”

“A key?!”

ONE changed the subject, “Did you think of this when you saw the ballistic trajectory of the Divine Scepter?”

“Actually, I already had some doubts when I was in Prison 18,” Qing Chen said.

“What did you think about?” Yi asked.

“Let me ask a question first, have my master’s friends been rescued?” Qing Chen asked.

“Thirty-five people are rescued, and one person is still missing,” ONE replied honestly.

“Does anyone know where these prisoners are being held?” Qing Chen asked calmly.

“A few people from the Chen and Qing Consortiums,” ONE replied.

“Well, it all makes sense now. The Divine Scepter also belongs to the Qing Consortium,” Qing Chen nodded, “In fact, my master could have saved them a while back, right? Also, he had the ability to kill the prisoners in the prison easily, but he was waiting. The prisoners waited for him to show up at night, which I can understand, but I can’t understand what my master is waiting for.”

“Now everything finally came together. He was waiting for the satellite carrying Divine Scepter to enter orbit and watch it destroy Prison 18.”

The Divine Scepter didn’t attack Prison 18 by surprise. Li Shutong had been waiting for it to fall from the sky.

Li Shutong knew when it would fall because he had already made a deal with the Qing Consortium.

Although no one knew what the deal was about.

ONE seemed to be interested, “Then guess, why did your master do this?”

“He wanted to fake his death and confuse his enemies,” Qing Chen said, “But now I’m thinking about it, if I can tell that he couldn’t have been killed, there should be other people who can tell as well. Most people would think he’s dead, but there would still be some unconvinced.”

“It’s enough to make some people feel uncertain, and Li Shutong’s disappearance is enough to deter people,” ONE said, “But… his fake death is not important. More crucially, you are ‘dead’. He promised you that he will let you die and become a true shadow.”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He had thought about it before. Even if the picture of ‘Qing Chen’ from the Qing Family was changed in the federal database, there would always be problems if two Qing Chens were alive at the same time. Li Shutong, a demigod, couldn’t always fake being him to make up for his alibi, not to mention that ACE-005 was already in Qing Chen’s hands, so Li Shutong has no way to pretend to be ‘Qing Chen’ from the Qing Family.

Therefore, his identity would be exposed sooner or later.

But it’s different now, Qing Chen from the Qing Family has died under the Divine Scepter!

From now on, there is only Qing Chen in this world and not a Qing Chen from the Qing Family!

Of the nine candidates in the Fight for the Shadow, two have already died in the eyes of the public!

It turns out that the true meaning of “starting a life of his own” was to let him no longer bear anything, even his past identity. He could finally start living as himself, Qing Chen.

ONE said, “He has another purpose in mind. Do you want to take a guess?”

Qing Chen thought for a long time but did not speak.

ONE realized that she finally knew something that Qing Chen didn’t, and her tone suddenly became cheerful, “He wants you to become an Awakener.”

Qing Chen was shocked.

Qing Chen recalled the story his master once told him, saying that in order to awaken the genius in the family, the family hired killers to kill the child’s relatives one by one, so that the genius could advance levels time and time again!

And now Li Shutong wanted to do the exact same to stimulate Qing Chen’s awakening!

He wanted to let Qing Chen witness his death under the Divine Scepter and stimulate the untapped potential in Qing Chen’s body that wasn’t activated by the Life and Death Challenges.

Qing Chen was silent.

Everything that this master has done for him has surpassed the bond between a master and a student. A father might not even be willing to do this for a son.

But Li Shutong probably didn’t expect Qing Chen to not feel a single bit of sadness.

ONE sighed, “Your master has underestimated your abilities again. He knew you were calm and smart, but he didn’t expect you to be able to decipher through everything.”

Qing Chen was stunned. Did he miss a chance to awaken because he was too smart?

Was this how knowledge could change one’s life?!

“Did I just waste my Master’s hard work?” Qing Chen murmured.

Thinking of this, he finally felt sad…

ONE said, “He has another purpose, guess what he wants to do?”

Qing Chen was silent.

All the clues kept flashing in his memory palace.

The waiting…

The deal…

The Divine Scepter…

The trapped prisoners…

The Forbidden Items…

The key…

The teenager suddenly said, “ACE-002 should be stored under Prison 18. It may be difficult for ordinary manpower to open its containment quietly. Therefore, he used the Divine Scepter to open the container… No, the Divine Scepter itself was the key to opening that container!”

“Boring.”

ONE spoke.

“Take me to the boxing gym,” Qing Chen said calmly.

ONE asked, “Are you still in the mood to watch boxing matches? Even if you are not sad at all, at least you should feel overwhelmed by what you have just experienced.”

Qing Chen calmly said, “Master finally helped me create a fake death. I should find a place and use the calmest emotions to prove my alibi to someone who is interested. Although this evidence is not perfect, it is enough.”

“Are you sure you’re still human?” ONE questioned from the depths of her soul.

If she had a soul in the first place.

Beneath the smoke and dust of the collapsed Prison 18.

In a secret space under the prison.

An ordinary wooden go board was quietly lying in a container that had been opened.

The container had already been smashed open by the Divine Scepter, but the wooden game board remained intact, not even stained by the dusty air around it.

Next to the chessboard, there were two wooden jars containing 180 white go pieces and 181 black go pieces respectively.

This was the Forbidden Item that everyone was looking for.

Someone gently walked next to it and picked it up gently.

“3610 lives, 361 chess pieces.”

“Nineteen lines vertical and horizontal; never a game repeat. ACE-002 Heaven and Earth Go Board has returned.”
