Chapter 271
Chapter 272 Rebirth
Finished
With so many Transcendent-level contract beasts, the biggest fear was internal conflict, so what Joanna had always tried to do was keep things balanced.
But the final sweep to purge all distortion? The workload was massive.
They were probably talking years.
So it could only be done one by one.
After all, Nighthowl was the main consort!
At the same time.
Cedric, who had been captured, was put on trial.
When it came to dealing with cultists, the courtroom had plenty of experience.
The first step was stripping his powers.
Cedric’s talents had already reached SSS-rank. Using military-grade machinery, the Space Alliance extracted his talents and condensed them into an SSS-rank Mythic-level talent upgrade stone.
Cedric felt an overwhelming terror as his talents vanished.
“This is murder. You’re monsters. Do you have any concept of human rights? You just ripped my talents out like this; how many people in the universe have you done this to?
“You planned this from the start, didn’t you? You let me get taken on purpose and fattened me up like livestock, just to slaughter me in the end p>
But the person extracting his talents was a seasoned professional.
He seemed to be in a decent mood today and replied calmly, “Your abilities were granted by the Space Alliance in the first place. You worship evil gods and slaughter civilians like livestock. Your so-called human rights don’t outweigh the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
“And you should understand this: Only an evil god’s power can condense Mythic-level talent upgrade stones.
“At
present, all Mythic-level talents and skill upgrade stones in the Space Alliance come from dead evil gods.

“So these were never your talents to begin with. It was the evil god’s power forcibly boosting you p>
At this point, Cedric had already returned to Space Alliance territory, and naturally, the system reactivated.
Once activated, it wasn’t there to assist Cedric but to monitor him.
Basic system prompts appeared.
“Your talent Wrath of the Fire God’ (SSS) has been removed. Your Talent has downgraded to ‘Flame Mastery’ (E p>
“Your attributes have been removed.
“To ensure the quality of your sentence, your retained base attributes are: Vitality 50, Strength 50, Agility 50, Spirit 50.
“A prison has been assigned. Due to your high fire resistance, your assigned planet is Magma Star. Sentence length: 529 years and 2 months p>
Five hundred years?
With my current stats, I’m not sure whether I can even live that long!
No, my body has already been altered by an evil god. If an evil god can live that long, then so can I. I really might have to serve 500 years.
That realization plunged him into even deeper despair.
No, I need to kill myself. I need to die once.
Only then can I return to the evil god’s womb and revive.
So after his talents and attributes were stripped, on the way to Magma Star, Cedric seized an opportunity and tried to smash his head against the wall to kill himself.
“Zzzzt p>
A surge of electricity coursed through his body. Cedric collapsed to the ground, foam spilling from his mouth as his whole body convulsed, completely powerless.
“System has detected suicidal tendencies in the offender. Electric punishment protocol activated p>
“A new cultist, huh? Haha, trying to kill yourself that badly? You can revive, right? Don’t worry.
apter 272
We’ve got plenty of ways here to make your life worse than death p>
The warden grinned savagely as he grabbed Cedric.
From then on, Cedric spent his days repeatedly attempting suicide, being electrocuted unconscious, and enduring the warden’s torment.

Before long, he fell into despair, realizing that no matter what method he used, the system. would
stop him, and the warden’s methods were far more unbearable.
All he could do was hope that Lucas and the others would come to save him.
On the other side.
Inside the evil god’s inner cavity.
After death, Viola, Lucas, Bruce, and Neil revived within a pool of blood-red liquid and crawled
out.
“Damn it!” Viola roared in fury.
She hadn’t expected that the Divine and Demonic Academy student she once dismissed would grow to this level in just a few months.
Killing them was as easy as slaughtering chickens.
But when debts piled up, people stopped worrying. There were far too many in this world who wanted her dead, and even more she had already killed.
So despite her anger, revenge wasn’t her first thought. Instead, she considered how to lie low and develop quietly.
At that moment, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her arms and legs had recovered.
Because Lucien’s “Punishment of Destruction” had lost its effect upon her revival, she had her body back.
That wasn’t a bad thing.
The only downside was that her stats had been halved upon revival. That was the evil god’s price.
But stats could always be regained by slaughtering a few more cities.
Just as she was about to feel relieved, she noticed something else. The blood pool wasn’t

reviving only the five of them.
Countless others were emerging as well.
“What do we do? We can’t win. She isn’t actually going to kill the evil god, is/she p>
