Chapter 1376: Chapter 1041: Mercy

"Ah, this..."

Huai Shi was a bit reluctant: "Isn’t this too unfair to you?"

"Not at all!"

The Remnants widened its single eye, full of sycophancy: "Being your dog is my honor! There is only the reasoning that I am unworthy of you, how could there be any grievance? Yes, I also have treasures, I have a treasure vault, right beneath here, the activation key is in the stele at the center of the settlement. I even know where the Five Eyes’ treasure vault is!"

As if afraid Huai Shi didn’t want to listen, he disregarded his own coughing and severe injuries, quickly spouting out a string of locations and activation methods.

He didn’t even consider using them as bargaining chips.

Only fearing he would doubt his sincerity!

After listening, Huai Shi’s eyes moved slightly, then he was somewhat regretful: "But, our Astronomical Society is a human rights organization, and doesn’t allow the enrollment of slaves..."

"Then I’ll join the Astronomical Society! I’ll join! I’ll join!!!"

The Remnants seemed to understand something, and said excitedly: "I’ve heard that organizations in the Current Circumstances like to find cannon fodder and outsiders in Hell, right?

No matter how lowly the position, there’s no problem, please let me serve you!"

"..."

For a moment, even the people on the Sun Boat in the distance were looking at each other.

It was the first time they’d seen the Owner of the Great Mob in Hell crying and shouting to become a slave for the Astronomical Society... was there some sort of mistake?

"Alright then..."

Huai Shi sighed: "Since you insist, I can’t refuse you. But, are you sure? The rules and regulations of the Astronomical Society are very strict."

"I’m sure, I’m sure!"

The Remnants squirmed forward, shouting hoarsely: "I must have been born to be a dog for the Astronomical Society, being a dog for the Astronomical Society is the meaning of my existence!

If I can’t become a dog for the Astronomical Society, then what’s the point of living!"

In the long silence, under Huai Shi’s scrutiny, the Remnants revealed a fanatical and flattering appearance, not daring to show any resistance, letting the blood flow, not even daring to stop the bleeding himself.

Only shivering.

Begging for mercy and compassion from the Judge.

Until finally, Huai Shi nodded slowly: "Very well, since you understand the reasoning and shame, and want to redeem your mistakes, I can give you a chance."

He reached into his pocket with his hand.

The Remnants continued to suffocate, staring wide-eyed, afraid he would pull out a weapon from there. But when Huai Shi’s hand was lifted, it held only a certificate.

A badge surrounded by thorns and Sharp Blades representing the Current Circumstances.

A credential from the Astronomical Society.

Just like that, it was placed in front of him.

"Starting from today, you are a member of the Astronomical Society, Mr. Remnants." Huai Shi said, "Rejoice for this, you’ve earned precious redemption."

"Yes, yes, that’s right! Redemption! Redemption!"

The Remnants almost cried with joy, shedding scarlet tears, "Your great kindness and virtue, I will always remember, I will definitely..."

"Next, as your introducer, let me teach you the first lesson as a member of the Astronomical Society."

Huai Shi interrupted him, calmly telling him: "I hope you can study and Listen carefully."

"Absolutely! I will engrave it in my heart!"

The Remnants shouted excitedly: "Please instruct me, I will etch it into my Soul, delve into it every day, not daring to slack off in the slightest."

"No need to exaggerate that much."

Huai Shi waved his hand awkwardly and smiled: "Just put it into practice."

In that instant, a clear sound rang out.

Breaking.

In the dazed gaze of the Remnants, Huai Shi’s arm had already penetrated his chest, gripping something weakly beating inside.

He tightened his grip.

"Make sure to remember this well."

Huai Shi solemnly instructed, "The first lesson of being a member of the Astronomical Society..."

That is—

—to offer your heart to the Current Circumstances!

In that moment, a shadow-formed source substance surged out from the Remnants’ shell, erupting, engulfing everything. Amidst the Remnants’ wailing, the gate of the Ruins slowly opened.

Countless darknesses like hands pulled at the mourning Giant’s corpse, dragging it little by little into eternal darkness.

The shrill screams came to an abrupt end.

Amidst the ruins, there was nothing left.

Only Huai Shi, looking down at the strangely pulsing Stone Heart in his hand.

He nodded with satisfaction.

A final compliment.

"Looks like, you’ve done it."
