Jiada dropped the fortune teller’s crystal ball on the floor. The crystal ball rolled away and stopped only when it hit the wall. Ariadne, who was the only one unscathed in this situation, was taken aback but continued to restrain the gypsy woman more forcefully.

“‘Judgment seat’? What is it? You know something, don’t you?! Why did I get this spot under my eye?”

The fortune teller seemed even more taken aback.

“You don’t know? You should know better than anyone else! Does the one who climbed the ‘judgment seat’ not know why they climbed? You climbed up there with your own hands!”

Each time the word ‘judgment seat’ came up, Jiada writhed in the corner. Ariadne, confused by Jiada’s condition, asked the gypsy woman.

“Why is Jiada behaving like that?”

At that moment, the gypsy woman, who had been rolling her eyes looking for an opportunity, suddenly lunged forward. She rolled on the floor and quickly grabbed the crystal ball.

Ignoring the belongings she had dropped on the floor, she held the crystal ball to her chest and ran down the hallway to escape from the house.

“Stop!”

Ariadne immediately ran after the gypsy woman. With a sprint, she quickly closed the distance and without a moment’s hesitation, she threw herself at the back of the gypsy woman.

Crash!

The gypsy woman, the crystal ball in her arms, and Ariadne all rolled together on the floor. The pile of two people rolled into a decorative cabinet in the middle of the hallway.

Plates and such from the decorative cabinet poured down onto them. The gypsy woman found herself once again under Ariadne, unable to move.

When Ariadne realized the gypsy woman could run away at any moment, she ruthlessly pulled out a dagger from her clothes and pointed it at the gypsy woman’s throat.

“Spill everything you know. What the hell is this ‘judgment seat’?”

“I can’t say…! If I leak it, I’ll have to pay the price!”

Ariadne scoffed and pressed the blade of the dagger harder into the gypsy woman’s neck. A bright red stream of blood flowed out.

“I don’t know what price you have to pay, but is it bigger than your life?”

She pressed her hand harder. The blade that had only scratched the surface dug a little deeper.

“I can kill you.”

Determination could be seen in the eyes of the girl who had her robe turned upside down. The gypsy woman thought that this girl could indeed commit murder.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…! Cough! Cough!”

Feeling the texture of the dagger touching her muscle, the gypsy woman choked. She had no desire to die. Now was the time to comply with the other party’s request.

“The ‘judgment seat’ is…”

Her mouth opened. Her voice, which was vulgar and cunning when talking about human affairs, began to ring solemnly and lowered in tone when she started talking about the matters of heaven.

“… refers to the ‘Golden Rule’s judgment seat’. Those who ‘ascend the judgment seat’ gain abilities from the ‘awakened ones’!”

“Good, then what is this ability that you gain?”

Ariadne, in fact, felt she already knew this part. It was ‘regression.’ She had started a new life. She had a chance to return to the past and restore everything to its original place.

“Future sight!”

“What?”

The gypsy woman replied to a flustered Ariadne.

“You would know it the best! According to the records, the one who stands at the ‘judgment stand’ sees the future!”

Ariadne nodded with her eyes wide open. Indeed, it could seem so. A regressed person would appear to be someone who can foresee the future from the perspective of the one still living in the actual world.

The records the gypsy woman held were not left by the one who stood on the ‘judgment stand,’ but by someone else who observed the one on the stand.

“However, if you commit a sin with your own hands by making changes to the ‘predetermined future’ with that power, you must pay the price to the ‘providence of the universe!'”

“Is the ‘providence of the universe’ the gods?”

“Yes, you guys call it with that ridiculous name. Where is the personality in the providence of the universe! Fools. Small, foolish humans……”

“Wait a minute. Isn’t paying for the karma committed in life applicable to all believers in God? Why should only the one who stands at the ‘judgment stand’ be particularly careful about karma?”

“Those who don’t ascend to the ‘judgment stand’ are small fries. Even if the villains commit some sins, the ‘heaven of cause and effect’ might not see it and let it slide. They are not so idle to scrutinize every little thing.”

The gypsy woman’s eyes shone strangely.

“But once you stand at the ‘judgment stand,’ from then on, the ‘heaven of cause and effect’ watches over that person! If successful, you receive the most noble reward a human can obtain, but if you stumble just once, it’s an instant failure!”

The gypsy woman’s pupils dilated with greed for the reward that could be obtained when successful. She cried out as if possessed.

“So only the superhuman who approaches the ‘awakened ones’ ascend to the ‘judgment stand’! Only the heroes who can withstand karma!”

Fzzzzzzzzz

“Aaaaaah!”
