Rewinding time to not long ago.
William had just left the underground root sanctuary and asked Ebony to wait for him at the Holy Tree Matriarch Temple.
Playing with the rough obsidian dagger in his hand, William fell into deep thought along the way.
"Judgment 3, heh…"
With a flick of his wrist, he threw the dagger into the air and watched as a tiny spatial rift opened up and swallowed it.
Without a doubt, this transcendent weapon that the other party claimed to once belong to Nehe and was supposedly capable of injuring a Void Sovereign was a replica.
After all, Steelheart Widow Aiur had revealed to him not long ago that Judgment 3 was in the hands of the Tacma Church. Since those riddlers saw it as a bargaining chip to maintain contact with the Void Sovereign, there was no reason for them to send it to Ravenwood for nothing.
