Nidhogg and Fenrir shook their heads, able to free themselves from Anubis' power. However, both of them could feel the extraordinary strength coming from Anubis' ability.
Fenrir gnashed his teeth. "So this is his power. It's no wonder why he dares to claim he's strong."
Nidhogg only stared at him quietly, with a single thought in his mind. Nidhogg was the one guiding the soul to the afterlife after the Ragnarok, so he could see the difference between him and Anubis.
Anubis looked at the man, who had turned back to his original age.
The man was startled and raised his head, looking at Anubis, who now became 10 meters (32 feet) tall.
With a wave of his hand, a paper appeared in front of him.
"Matthew. That's your name, correct?!"
"Who are you..." The guy was shaking. He had experienced too much, so he thought Anubis was the same as the perpetrator.
As soon as he asked that question, the golden scale in front of him suddenly tipped to the left.
"!!!" The clacking sound startled the guy. "What—?!"
"I'm the judge whether you can go into the cycle of reincarnation or your soul has to be sent to the endless torture. I ask, and you answer truthfully. The scale on the right is your virtue and the scale on the left is your sin. So, make sure you give me the answer that you won't regret."
Anubis repeated his question. "Your name is Matthew. Yes or no?"
The guy was confused, but after hearing the explanation, he tried to answer honestly. "Yes."
The scale once again tipped to the right.
"The way you die is unnatural. How about recounting it for me?"
Matthew stopped for a moment, as his eyes were filled with anger and sadness.
"I saw him dragging my wife to that table and turning her into an alien before throwing her away into the mountain of corpses."
Anubis could feel the trace of killing intent, which tipped the balance to the left, but he was also a virtuous man who wanted to protect the people he held dear. So the balance tipped to the right.
"Who was that person?"
"We didn't know anything. He had never introduced himself. Whenever he was with us, he would wear a long coat that covered his entire body."
"You claimed he was a summoner, do you know what kind of beings he summoned?"
Matthew fell silent for a moment. "I only saw two. I don't know what they're called. The first one was a big, muscular, black-colored monster. He was the one beating me up and pinning me to the wall. The second one was a small monster with a pair of wings.
With a wave of her hand, humans appeared."
Anubis couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He was unable to see one's memory, so he couldn't pinpoint the enemy. In addition, the guy had covered his entire body, so it would be hard to find him other than using the two familiars.
The situation seemed to be much more serious than he originally thought.
Or he might be able to get more information by asking other people in this place. He only had half an hour, so he had to be fast.
Anubis glanced at the scale, which tipped to the right. He asked, "What do you want to say to your wife?"
While Nathan was occupied with extracting information, Selena was actually facing a big problem.
"So you are here, Selena Ashton." August and Rudeus actually stood in front of the cave. Rudeus had actually used the gnome to actually find out their location.
Not only these two, but the rest of his group had surrounded this place. Some had even started looting their items.
"It seems your time is up." August smirked.
