Chapter 944: Chapter 768 Luo Kai: Someone Seems to be Threatening the Judgement

But Luo Kai didn’t have time to take a closer look.

The floral pattern was quickly covered up.

Thus, Xu Shuo ended up with a plain, unbranded wristwatch on his right hand and, on his left, another unbranded watch with an ordinary strap but an exquisitely crafted, lavish dial.

What kind of normal person goes out wearing two watches?

“Hmm?”

While adjusting his watch and using his sleeve to block it from view, Xu Shuo suddenly sensed something. He turned his head to look and saw a radiant golden figure nearby.

The figure was seated in the spot Los had occupied yesterday.

The sight startled Luo Kai, who sat opposite.

This figure of Judgement didn’t appear as silently as Los had. Instead, his presence radiated an even more solemn and exacting aura. It compelled an instinctive silence—people would hold their breath without realizing it.

The surrounding air felt as if it had gained a textured density—heavy and oppressive.

Xu Shuo greeted him: “Themis.”

Shi’s glowing presence dialed back, and his calm, golden eyes turned to meet them.

He was wearing the same pale golden medieval robes as last time, his waist-length golden hair cascading behind him, encircled by a silver laurel crown. His aura was sacred yet majestic.

But in reality…

He might have simply not had time to change.

“You seem quite busy lately?” Xu Shuo asked.

Shi, while curiously inspecting Luo Kai, heard this and turned to reply earnestly, nodding: “Very busy.”

Shi continued: “Recently, Abyss movements have been more frequent. Numerous small worlds and Subspaces have been corrupted, and even entire sections of the Abyss Battlefield have been devoured. The losses this time are enormous.”

Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly: “You said something similar last time. So, the situation hasn’t improved and has only gotten worse?”

Shi looked faintly embarrassed: “That’s correct…”

Luo Kai, seated opposite: “…”

He shifted his gaze back and forth, glancing first at Xu Shuo, who seemed to be interrogating, then at the still-majestic Judgement. He genuinely had no idea how to react.

Meanwhile, Xu Shuo was deep in thought.

What he had been contemplating earlier was this:

The recent upheaval of the Abyss across various worlds was undeniably widespread. Could this mean—this world’s misfortune was not necessarily his fault?

After all, other worlds had been engulfed by the Abyss.

It wasn’t all that strange that his own world was targeted too, right?

Why was everyone so quick to pin the blame on him?

“By the way, you called me over suddenly—is it because your world’s Abyss has run into new issues again?” Shi asked curiously.

“Yes and no,”

Xu Shuo snapped out of his thoughts and replied, “For the specifics, you’d better let him explain—it’s related to the defense line.”

At Xu Shuo’s cue, Luo Kai straightened his back again.

Shi turned his golden gaze toward him.

Beneath the pressure of those pale golden eyes, Luo Kai felt an inexplicable dread. He dared not even breathe loudly and marveled at how Xu Shuo managed to converse so comfortably with this person.

Indeed… Was this the world of a true big shot?

“You summoned me—what is it you wish to discuss?”

Shi looked at Luo Kai and asked aloud.

At that moment.

From Xu Shuo’s perspective: Themis’s curious, wide-eyed expression almost overflowed with confusion.

From Luo Kai’s perspective: The big shot’s sharp gaze seemed piercing, overflowing with aloof indifference!

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Luo Kai pulled his hiking pack closer, retrieved a thick stack of documents, and nervously slid them onto the table before Judgement.

Shi glanced at the documents in front of him, then at Luo Kai, still puzzled.

“These contain the matters I wish to discuss,”

Of course, Luo Kai didn’t expect Judgement to read through the documents. He planned to explain everything verbally anyway; this was just a procedural step.

At least this way, the other party could skim the files later if they wanted to.

But before Luo Kai could begin speaking, Shi—considering that “the files contain the core topics of discussion”—had already touched the documents with his palm. After one second, he lifted his hand and nodded seriously.

Shi said: “These detail Xu Shuo’s impact on Subspace, correct? The influence is indeed significant—is this what you wanted to address?”

Luo Kai: “…”

The big shot had just spent one second to scan through all the files.

He had even gleaned the implicit meaning of the documents.

And outright roasted someone in the process.

Luo Kai turned to glance awkwardly at Xu Shuo.

But his inability to get to the point after such a delay was starting to test Xu Shuo’s patience—he rubbed his temples irritably: “Themis, what he specifically wants to say is not this matter. He merely used it as leverage to convince me to call you here.”

Shi, hearing this, looked at Luo Kai in surprise.

The soft light in his pale golden eyes instantly cooled.

Luo Kai: “…”

An immediate chill ran down Luo Kai’s spine!

Panicked, he began to explain: “No, that’s not it! What I wanted to say is this: because of Xu Shuo’s actions, this world has suffered attacks from deeper layers of the Abyss. In just four or five months, traces of Abyss Demons have already begun to appear. If this continues unchecked, our world absolutely won’t last more than a few years before becoming an Abyss Battlefield—or worse, in less than a year, it could be entirely consumed by the Abyss! That’s why I asked him to help summon you—I wanted to ask if you’d allow us to use the power of the defense line to repel the Abyss’s invasion. With that, at least this world could maintain its stability for another few decades!”

Luo Kai, overwhelmed, blurted it all out in one breath.

After finishing, he gasped for air.

Then he grabbed a soda from the table and took a long gulp.

Shi turned to look at Xu Shuo.
