Chapter 379: Chapter 287: The Death of Eve_2

"Eve was silent.

Seeing this, the others started jeering, "Yeah, in the past you never cared about anything, never even showed up, but now you not only turn up but suddenly go full aggressive. What’s up with that?"

"Hmph! Do you even have to ask?" someone scoffed. "It’s definitely because of a man."

"Is it?" Rule Zero turned to Eve, "So you’re really taking this so seriously just for your own personal affairs?"

"I won’t deny it." Eve realized she couldn’t keep quiet any longer and spoke up, "But isn’t this the most urgent problem we need to resolve right now? If this isn’t settled quickly, it’s not just one person’s problem; everyone on Blue Star, including us, will suffer."

"I understand your thoughts," Rule Zero said disappointedly, "but I am disappointed that you would doubt your own people over your personal affairs. We’ve known each other for so long; do we really need to start doubting and suspecting each other over something like this?"

"Something like this?"

But at that moment, Seventh Rule suddenly interjected with some annoyance:

"Something like this? You really have the nerve to say that! We’re now facing something as serious as a potential betrayer at our Level! Plus, does knowing each other for a long time mean we must have good relations? Does it mean we can ignore each other’s problems? We’re not here to play matchmaker or be one big happy family; everyone is striving for an ideal! Those who can’t achieve it, those who even betray that ideal, have no right to carry it further! And they have no right to stay here! They better get out now or go die, that would be more fitting!"

When Seventh Rule said this, the others couldn’t help but click their tongues.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you’re talking about being aggressive, you’ve got to look at Old Seven."

"What a coincidence." Eve also remarked, "I have no intention of getting along with you folks either, so in that respect, we’re in agreement."

"Hmph..." Seventh Rule snorted coldly, "I just stated what I believed to be true."

Eve also breathed a sigh of relief internally; after all, if Seventh Rule was in agreement with her, she might be able to get him on her side.

However, at this moment, someone stoked the fire:

"But speaking of which, Seventh Rule tried to personally kill Xiao Yi a while ago."

"What did you say!?" Eve instantly jumped up, "I’ve never heard about that! Oh, right, I’ve been locked up! No! That’s not the important part! Seventh Rule! You... to take matters into your own hands! That’s utterly shameless! You don’t deserve to be called Seventh Rule!"

Seventh Rule’s face turned dark immediately.

It was not because of Eve’s insults, but because he was again reminded of that shameful memory.

So, to prevent Eve from bringing up that memory, Seventh Rule had no choice but to say:

"I didn’t kill him, and I’ve already reached an agreement with Xiao Yi afterward. I have no intention of targeting him anymore."

"Whatever, I don’t want to waste time arguing with you now." Eve glared fiercely at him and then turned to Rule Zero, saying, "Anyway, from now on, I’ll take full control of all instances to ensure this issue doesn’t happen again. Any objections?"

"No..." But Rule Zero shook his head, "That’s not possible. You can’t do that!"

"Why not!?" Eve demanded, "Who else but me would want to deal with this troublesome matter?"

Hearing this, everyone silently nodded.

They had to admit, none of them wanted to deal with this, but if Eve was willing to volunteer, they had no objections—in fact, they quite agreed.

But Rule Zero still shook his head, "No, that’s not it. To be exact, you don’t have the authority to be responsible for this matter. As someone who is confined, you don’t have any permissions, including the permission to move about freely as you are now."

"You’re saying... what?"

"Without rules, there is no square to round off," said Rule Zero. "And now, by violating the rules and moving about freely, you’ve just extended your confinement period."

"What... bullshit rules!" Eve couldn’t help but roar, "Fussing over these damn rules at a time like this will only bind us!"

"It seems confinement alone won’t do," Rule Zero said, "The First Rule, you possess such Power, yet you have never been content to follow the rules. Now, because of personal interests, you plan to act on your own. I reckon, should you decide to act, we wouldn’t be able to control you. So, I judge... you’re unworthy; you can no longer carry the Power of the First Rule! As of now, I revoke your Power!"

"What...!?" Eve couldn’t help but step back, knowing that Rule Zero could truly do such a thing.

At these words, shock was evident on the faces of the others; they were all too aware of what revoking Power really meant!

"Is it true? Has the peacemaker stopped being peaceful?"

"This is too much, I better stay away."

And Seventh Rule’s complexion changed as he stepped forward and said, "Even if First Rule indeed violated the regulations, her crime does not warrant such severe punishment."

"But she has offended too many times and has repeatedly ignored the punishments...ignored the rules themselves. How can you guarantee she won’t act on her own again? Don’t forget, whatever the reason, her violation of the regulations is a fact. Moreover, she did indeed violate them out of selfish desires, so I judge that she no longer has the right to bear the Power of First Rule."

Seventh Rule fell silent.

"Rule Zero, are you sure you want to do this?" At this moment, a female figure stepped forward.

Seeing her, everyone’s expression changed; she was an existence just as untouchable as Rule Zero!

"Tenth Rule..." Rule Zero’s own face changed, "What are you trying to say?"

"Sister Hou!" Seeing her, the tense look on Eve’s face eased somewhat.

After all, she was the only one here with whom Eve had a good relationship. It was thanks to Sister Hou that during the last Flash instance, she could provide so many hints and rewards to Xiao Yi.

Eve believed that she would certainly help her.

However, Tenth Rule said:

"The existence of First Rule is a being whose existence transcends time, space, fate, life and death, and other concepts, as the absolute unique presence here. However, if you revoke her Power, she will die, vanishing from existence, because, before she received this Power, she was already dead. Are you...sure you want to do this?"

"Eh? I, I was already dead? What is...going on?" For some reason, Tenth Rule revealed something Eve had never known before.

But no explanation was offered.

Rule Zero continued, "This is her fate, what is ordained... She was born and raised on Blue Star; it’s natural for her to have a special affection for this planet. That she has embarked on this path is preordained."

"I...was born on Blue Star? What are you talking...about?" Eve was stunned.

She then realized that she had no memory of her birth, as if she had existed as First Rule from the very beginning.

Yet, for some reason, the name Eve was hers before her earliest memories, belonging exclusively to her.

What...exactly is going on?

But Eve no longer had the luxury to ponder, because...

"Is that so? If that’s the case, then I won’t stop you any longer."

Tenth Rule said no more, only turning to Eve and softly saying "Eve, this is all preordained," before turning and walking away.

And with that, Rule Zero made his judgment.

"As Rule Zero—I decree! For First Rule—Existence! I pass judgment! She is hereby stripped of all her Powers as First Rule!"

"What——!"

Death felt like it was surging towards her.

Eve, who had extended her existence using the Power of First Rule, undoubtedly...died when that Power was lost.
