55: Chapter 55 The Real 'Discretion' Begins
Wrong! Wrong again! It is not a [Fantasy Skill].
[The Scales] capriciously gave Shigemitsu Gendo a big: Judgment.exe not responding!
"Incorrect? How can it be incorrect? [Fantasy Skill] is the most imaginative skill. The more imaginative it is, the more likely it is to handle complex plot content... Yet, the skill Dragon Country constructed for the Heroic Spirit is actually not of the [Fantasy] type!"
Shigemitsu Gendo felt as if he could already hear the audience watching the live stream worldwide mocking him.
At this moment, Shigemitsu Gendo represented Sakura Country; being mocked meant Sakura Country was being mocked.
As a nationalist, Shigemitsu Gendo's face was so gloomy it could squeeze out ink!
[Fantasy] is wrong; two possibilities remain: [True Martial] and [Legendary].
Having lost face for Sakura Country once again, Shigemitsu Gendo lost his composure.
"He is already a dead man, yet he can still make me this passive! Truly damnable!"
The feeling of anger had just emerged before it was suppressed by Shigemitsu Gendo.
"Calm down. Why get angry at a dying man? Next is a choice between two; it is impossible for me to choose wrong again!"
The light orb rich in national destiny gathered once more.
[True Martial]? Absolutely impossible!
Skills constructed with [True Martial] and actions guided by it, even if the prototype came from 'idle gossip of the Old Era', are unlikely to allow a [Heroic Spirit] to solve two different tasks in the plot.
"Only [Legendary] remains!"
Just as Shigemitsu Gendo had an answer in his heart and was preparing to sacrifice national destiny, Chen Aoyun's cheeky voice drifted over.
"It's [True Martial], you little Baga. If I lie, my whole family dies. Trust me. You must trust me! If you don't believe me and choose wrong again, your Sakura Country will really have lost face to the ends of the earth..."
Was he telling the truth? Or was he setting a trap?
Just like when playing rock-paper-scissors, if the opponent proactively tells you they will throw scissors, Shigemitsu Gendo became conflicted instead.
It was just a psychological attack. Just as Shigemitsu Gendo himself said, Sakura Country is not lacking in national destiny. They have already sacrificed national destiny 118 times. One more or one less has nothing to do with national destiny, but it has everything to do with face and mentality.
Not caring whether his words would tip off the opponent, Chen Aoyun had only one goal in doing this: to make it difficult for Shigemitsu Gendo to choose, and to make Shigemitsu Gendo feel uncomfortable.
"I want to perform Judgment on the exclusive skill Dragon Country constructed for the Heroic Spirit in the plot."
Shigemitsu Gendo was getting irritable. Facing [The Scales] that represented the will of national destiny, his tone changed; it was no longer as humble. Forcibly discarding Chen Aoyun's interference, Shigemitsu Gendo continued,
"I want to perform Judgment on the exclusive skill Dragon Country constructed for the Heroic Spirit in the plot. The category of this skill is... [Legendary]!"
He sacrificed national destiny and stated his request. But the huge [The Scales] gave the 'answer': once again... Judgment.exe not responding!
Still not responding?! Watching the national destiny vanish, the pure white light on [The Scales] dissipated once again. This time, Shigemitsu Gendo really couldn't hold it together!
"I told you it was [True Martial]. I reminded you twice; why are you like this? I already reminded you, and you still picked wrong? Didn't they say Sakura Country are masters, masters, super masters at the Game of National Destiny? Even the dog at Laifu's house might be smarter than you. Being this stupid, how exactly has your Sakura Country been dominating the top rankings in the Game of National Destiny for so long?"
Shigemitsu Gendo was thoroughly enraged. Silently, he mobilized Sakura Country's national destiny for the last time and sacrificed it to [The Scales].
"I want to perform Judgment on the exclusive skill Dragon Country constructed for the Heroic Spirit in the plot. The category of this skill is [True Martial]."
Finally, after 119 continuous attempts of trial and error, Shigemitsu Gendo finally found the correct 'Judgment type', but at this moment, Shigemitsu Gendo couldn't smile at all.
According to [Plot Rule G], there were only 120 possibilities in total for Dragon Country, and Shigemitsu Gendo had managed to activate the huge [The Scales] in the Land of Judgment only on the 120th attempt. Just as Chen Aoyun said, this was losing face to the ends of the earth.
"Then let your death wash away the humiliation of Sakura Country today!"
The huge [The Scales] were finally activated; the true 'Judgment' began!
