“The verdict was absolute. A murder attempt was established, and the crime of endangering a Space Alliance Genius was confirmed.
“The evidence was irrefutable.
“Considering that Joanna Lane is an intermediate professional and a Mythic-level Summoner with extraordinarily high Contribution Score to the Space Alliance;
“Considering that Don, though a Sage-tier professional and Dark Gold-tier Summoner, possesses a Contribution Score lower than that of the victim;
“Therefore, contributions cannot offset the crime.

“Sentence aggravated accordingly.

“Sophie shall serve Nightstar Group for 1,050 years. (Accessory liability equals one-third of principal: 210 years. Conversion from incarceration to labor multiplies the term by five. Final: 1,050 years p>
“Compensation owed: 2,020.6 billion Starcoins p>
She was going to work until she died.
Sophie stared at the verdict in disbelief.
She had always believed Don was her true enemy.
Even if Joanna surpassed her in personal strength, Joanna had never seemed threatening- because Joanna was just.
Orderly.
She would never deliberately destroy someone.
Yet under a fair audit, the consequences became eternal.
“No! This isn’t fair! This sentence is too heavy! I want a retrial, or I want to settle! I can accept 105
years, but 1050? If I don’t break through to Mythic, my lifespan is only 1,000 years! You can’t do this p>
She was hysterical.
“I made a mistake! A small mistake! It shouldn’t cost this much! If that’s the case-I’d rather go
to prison p>
Her words collapsed into nonsense. Prison suddenly sounded merciful compared to a millennium of labor.
Don roared as well.
“This term is absurd! Why so long?
“And how could a student have a greater contribution than me? I demand full disclosure of Contribution Scores p>
The courtroom buzzed.
The Chief Judicator turned to Joanna.

“This concerns your privacy. Do you consent to public disclosure p>
The eyes of the entire gallery focused on her. Sometimes, a public verdict is necessary to silence the masses-not just to tell the criminal what they did wrong, but to warn anyone else thinking of harming her: This person is untouchable.
Joanna nodded.
“Disclose it p>
It was time to reveal her true standing.
Two massive data streams materialized in the air.
Swish, swish, swish!
The numbers began to roll.
The contribution tracking started from the moment they both awakened at age 16.
Joanna’s early data was unremarkable, while Don’s climbed steadily.
But then, Joanna’s data reached June of last year-one month before the SAT.
Then, they started rocketing.
In just one month, her score caught up to three years of Don’s early work.
Then, she entered the Academy.
The numbers continued to climb as if they would never stop. The contribution from the Divine and Demonic Training Program alone matched Don’s entire four years of university.
I shouldn’t panic. My real contribution started with the Titan Group. Her data has reached last year- there’re only 11 months left until the present. How can 11 months compare to my 32 years?
His denial was still at work, but he soon noticed something terrifying: the dates were out of
sync.
Joanna’s contribution for a single month hadn’t finished counting, yet the timeline had already surpassed Don’s entire 12-year stint as a garrison soldier.
Next, Joanna’s contribution shot up again.
The gallery gasped.

This disclosure was essentially a record of Joanna’s growth, revealing her private history.
The more they saw, the more shocked they became.
After the training program, she hadn’t rested for a single day.
She joined the Bounty Hunters and dismantled the Blood Moon Organization.
Upon starting school, she became a Mythic Summoner and saved an entire planet.
Then came the frantic, nonstop grind of clearing dungeons for credits.
