Chapter 493

No one dared to doubt Yoland's strength anymore. After all, he was the director of the Federal Government's Punishment Division. His rank was the same as the Federal Government Army's Supreme Marshal. In the Federal Government, he was second only to the Chief and Deputy Chief.

Moreover, the Chief of a department had real power. The Punishment Division managed the entire judicial system of the Federal Government. Its jurisdiction included all Federal courts and Federal prisons. Including the prisoners in the prisons, the total number of people Yoland managed was even higher than the Army.

Therefore, his seemingly joking "I'll kill you on the spot" was a very effective warning.

After Yoland gave the warning, he waved his long sleeves. Apart from Boyd, the shackles on the nineteen men's necks and limbs were automatically removed and fell to the ground.

Initially, Breith had said that he would only partially remove the restraints on their strength. Now, Yoland's actions had completely removed all restraints on the nineteen men. Breith frowned slightly but did not say anything to stop him. Yoland was the director of the Punishment Division. Naturally, he knew what he was doing. Moreover, no matter how powerful these little fellows were, their cultivation level was only that of a demigod. They could not do anything about it.

After removing the shackles on the men, Yoland looked at Boyd and quickly made a series of complicated hand seals. The cross on Boyd's back let out a strange roar. A moment later, the black shackles that had sealed Boyd's lips and eyes automatically disappeared.

Boyd slowly opened his eyes.

On the other side, the nineteen men were already in a fight.

Gu Ding and the others also noticed that all nineteen of them had extraordinary strength. The red-haired young man was especially brave. He licked his upper lip and attacked several times in a row, forcing the others to retreat.

Even the giant, who was taller than Biggie, took a few steps back from his palm strike.

"That big guy seems to be a member of our Viking tribe." Ayesha looked at him for a long time before confirming his identity. In fact, she had some doubts when she first saw him. However, she had never heard of such a person in the tribe. "He might be from another Viking tribe. Dad mentioned before that there might be other tribes' strongholds in the Cosmic Sea. He's very strong. His physical strength is comparable to mine. From the few times we fought, his combat ability is no weaker than mine. "

"That red-haired man is even stronger, probably not much weaker than me." Gu Ding observed them for a while. None of them had used their killer moves, but he could tell a lot just by looking at the power of their ordinary moves. Gu Ding judged that the red-haired Ordas was a powerhouse of the same level as him.

However, they also noticed something strange. No one attacked Boyd, who was in a wheelchair.

Gu Ding and the others who were watching the battle did not think that these guys did not attack Boyd because Boyd was in a wheelchair and that attacking him would be an unfair advantage. None of the fellows who were imprisoned in the Gates of Purgatory were good people. Moreover, there was a certain chance that the final outcome of the fight would be the right to leave the prison. Under such circumstances, kindness was a luxury that no one could afford. Therefore, the only explanation was that the young man named Boyd was a dangerous existence in the eyes of others.

Gu Ding did not sense Boyd's strength at first. Perhaps the seal on his back was too strong. Gu Ding did not see Boyd's aura projection after he entered the conference hall. However, after Yoland unlocked part of the seal, Gu Ding saw Boyd's aura projection the moment he opened his eyes. Although most of Boyd's power was still sealed, Gu Ding was able to peek at Boyd's aura through a corner of the seal that was lifted.

It was a ball-shaped monster with thousands of eyes. Each of its eyes had powerful sigils circulating. The monster's aura was even stronger than the eye that Gu Ding had seen when he encountered Futu.

However, this spying only lasted for a moment. Boyd's gaze shifted from the battlefield where the others were and landed on Gu Ding. When their eyes met, Gu Ding's spying was immediately blocked.

Boyd took a long look at Gu Ding before moving his gaze away from him. His reaction was caught by a few people, including the red-haired Ordas. He did not expect Boyd to be more interested in Gu Ding than himself. Although he did not know who Gu Ding was, he could roughly feel that Gu Ding's strength was not weaker than his. With his confidence, he did not think that Gu Ding would be a match for him in a real battle. Therefore, he silently remembered Gu Ding and prepared to find an opportunity to let Boyd see that he was stronger than Gu Ding. However, Gu Ding did not know that he had not done anything, and he was already being targeted.

Apart from Ordas, Huck and Minianna also witnessed this scene. They could clearly feel Boyd's strength. This perception was an instinct brought about by killing.

Gu Ding was a little shocked. He had used this method of spying to observe Salomon, who was a three or four-star half-step true god-level powerhouse, but he did not notice. Boyd, who was only a demigod, was able to sense it and block Gu Ding's probing. This was a little too strong.

Although it was only a glance, Gu Ding was sure that Boyd's ability was probably Pupillary Skills. Moreover, if there were no accidents, Boyd would definitely get a spot.

However, on the battlefield, Boyd sat in his wheelchair and had no intention of making a move. Instead, he chose to watch from the sidelines.

It was as if the nineteen people had agreed not to attack Boyd.

After more than ten minutes, only three people had been eliminated from the nineteen people's battlefield, and all three of them had been defeated by Ordas. However, at this rate, no one knew when three people would be selected.

Gu Ding and the others were naturally watching with relish because Ordas and the others were not weak. However, Uland seemed to be a little bored and actually lay on the ground and dozed off.

Soon, another ten minutes had passed. Another three people had been eliminated from the battlefield, but the final spot was still far away.

Boyd frowned slightly and seemed to be a little impatient. After waiting for a while, seeing that Ordas and the big guy were in a stalemate, Boyd finally made a move. His eyes suddenly changed. His originally dark blue pupils suddenly turned pitch-black, and an obscure soul fluctuation spread out.

A moment later, the movements of the people who had been fighting suddenly froze. Their faces showed a strange struggling expression, and they automatically fell to the ground one by one.

In less than a minute, there were only five people who could still stand.

"What a powerful Pupillary Ability!" Lilliath was also an Pupillary Ability user. She could clearly tell that the other party's Pupillary Ability was far more powerful than her own. This was because the nineteen people were powerhouses whose strength was not weaker than hers. However, they were all hit at the same time, and in less than a minute, eight of them had fallen. This kind of powerful Pupillary Ability was something that Lilliath could not compare to.

Not long after the second minute, two of them fell down one after the other. Only three people were left standing in their original positions. These three people were the red-haired Ordas, the tall and sturdy Viking, and an inconspicuous blue-haired girl.

As long as one more person fell, the spot would be announced. Everyone wanted to know who would be able to last longer.

Time quickly entered the third minute. In the end, the big guy was the first to be unable to hold on and was defeated. His body went limp and he sat on the floor, drenched in sweat. This was a little unexpected. In fact, many people thought that the girl would be eliminated in the end.

In the end, two people appeared, but Boy did not stop his Pupillary Ability attack. Time passed by, and in the fifth minute, Ordas finally could not hold on any longer. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Even so, Boy did not stop his attack.

Many people were a little surprised. The combat strength that Ordas had shown before was already quite good, but the time that he lasted in the illusion was not even as long as that of a thin girl.

Everyone turned to look at the skinny girl whose name they didn't even know. They also wanted to know what had allowed this girl to hold on until now.

Time seemed to pass very slowly as everyone waited. The ten minutes seemed to be a long time. The girl's body trembled slightly as if she could fall to the ground at any time. However, her breathing had calmed down for some reason.

Seeing her in this situation, Boy didn't seem to want to continue. He slowly closed his eyes. After a while, the girl came out of the Pupillary Ability. Her body was almost unable to stand steadily, and Boy did not open his eyes again. He looked like he was resting with his eyes closed.

"Alright, it seems that the three substitutes have been selected. They are Boy, Zebiah, and Ordas. " Brice then announced the final result. He waved at his two subordinates and got them to put on the shackles of the other seventeen people and bring them out of the meeting room.

The seventeen people had completely lost their combat strength after going through Boy's Pupillary Ability attack. They did not resist at all.

"Then, let me tell you why we chose a thousand demigods this time." Yoland's words attracted everyone's attention.

"This time, we chose a thousand demigods because a fragment of an ancient ruin appeared in the human camp near the Dark Tribe. After a discussion with the Dark Tribe, we decided to explore it together with both races. As for you guys, you will be the vanguard of this exploration. Any benefits that you get from the ruin will belong to you. Of course, there will definitely be dangers. One is the danger of the ruin's environment, and the other is the danger from the Dark Tribe. If you encounter the Dark Tribe, my advice is simple. Either kill or run. If you can beat them, kill them. If you can't beat them, run.

"Now that you know the whole story, it's too late for you to back out. Prepare yourselves. The Dark Tribe specializes in dark curses and poisons. You'd better prepare some purification potions and antidotes. Moreover, this kind of ruin can't be used in Skynet's virtual space. Before you enter the ruin, buy some temporary storage space equipment and put whatever you need into the temporary storage space.

"There's one more thing that I think I have to say. Because this ruin is top secret, no one is allowed to reveal it to the outside world. If I find out that anyone has leaked this information in any way, I will send people to kill your parents, children, siblings, and everyone else that you love and care about you. You will be thrown into the eighteenth level of the Gates of Hell and enjoy the highest level of punishment in the Gates of Hell. If you're willing to experience it, you can give it a try. "

Hearing this, Ordas and Zebiah shuddered. They did not even dare to think about the eighteenth level. Just the fourth level of punishment alone could leave a trauma in one's heart for years.

Although the others did not know what the punishment was, the name of the Gates of Hell was well-known. Anything that was related to it was definitely not a good thing.
