When Abel and his group found Judge, the man who was still full of spirit not long ago was now at death's door, sprawled on the ground like a dying dog.

"Rei...Reiju, is that you?"

Feeling the presence of others, Judge strained to open his eyes, a hint of unnoticeable joy in his voice.

"Father, you've lost. Germa has fallen, we're all going to die. Is this the end you've spent your life pursuing?"

Reiju looked at Judge with a complex expression. She had never seen this man so defeated before.

She once had unshakable faith in her father's power and firmly believed that the Germa Kingdom would regain its glory under his control.

But in just a moment, that dream shattered.

She saw the reality and recognized her father's weakness.

Or perhaps the powerful tyrant who had been so invincible that it made people unable to resist was just an illusion in her memory, a bubble.

And now, the invincible bubble was mercilessly popped.

If she had to describe it, it would be 'idol disillusionment'!

"Lost? I didn't lose, Germa hasn't fallen. Reiju, come here, I have something to tell you."

Judge was incredibly stubborn, the kind of stubbornness that even after Thanos' snap turned everyone into ash, he would still remain defiant to the end.

Reiju wasn't particularly interested in listening to the other party's 'last words'. However, the brainwashing education and experiences she had since childhood made it impossible for her to resist her father's commands.

After a slight tremor, she instinctively walked towards him.

Abel glanced at the time, showing no intention of stopping her. He was curious about what kind of trick the fellow was about to pull.

"Come closer, yes, a bit closer, listen to me."

Reiju initially froze, then got up mechanically and walked back to Abel's side.

Suddenly, she threw a punch at Abel's head with all her strength.

Bam!

Abel effortlessly dodged the unsophisticated punch, and with a counter move, he kicked her, sending her flying over ten meters.

The moment she landed, Reiju clutched her stomach, kneeling on the ground and retching as if about to vomit her internal organs.

"Blaming your own incompetence on your daughter, you've really outdone yourself, Judge."

"That voice. It's you!"

Judge instantly gritted his teeth in anger, his face twisted with rage.

If not for this guy, how would he and Germa have fallen into this trap?

Yes, he felt this was a trap specifically set for him!

"So what if it's me, can you stand up and fight me? Don't waste your energy. The evil forces of Germa will never defeat the heroes of the sky."

"Heh... A small devil who can only speak harsh words, I'm waiting for you to join me in death."

"People can be ugly, but dreams are beautiful. However, forget about joining you in death. I'm still young, and I don't want to die this early."

"That's not up to you. Everyone has to die!"

"Don't worry, I won't die. Initially, I was thinking of finding a way out for you Germa 66 on Reiju's account, but seeing your rabid dog attitude, I've changed my mind."

"After all, there was never a real Germa 66. All that future generations will remember is a virtual evil force that existed in the comics."

Abel disdainfully looked down at Judge, then prepared to leave with Baby-5.

A figure was flying towards them from the horizon - it was Buffalo.

The simplest escape plan was about to arrive.

Clearly, Doflamingo had already retreated with his people, and specifically sent Buffalo to pick him and Baby-5 up.

Planning to go down together?

At most, you'll have Spider Miles to destroy together.

"Buffalo~ Over here, we're here!"

Baby-5 found a high spot and stood on it, waving incessantly at the sky.

At this point, Judge finally realized just how foolish he had been.

After a mental struggle, his desire to live eventually took precedence. Of course, the premise was that he absolutely could not let Abel take Germa.

"Wait a minute, as long as you can save me and let us leave, I can immediately deactivate the self-destruction program."

"Heh, why don't you just stay here and wait for death."

"Other than Germa, whatever you want I can give you, including these scientific research techniques I have mastered."

"None of the things you mentioned interest me. But if you want me to save you, that's possible. Sign this contract. Then I'll let you leave, and won't take action against you again."

At this point, Abel finally revealed his true intentions, producing a "Contract of the Dominating Demon".

With this, he could immediately turn Judge into an obedient slave.

Indeed, he didn't want anything, but opportunities like these always found their way to him.

After all, it was meat served right to his mouth. It would be rude not to take a bite.

"What kind of contract is this?"

"You have 20 seconds to consider. Sign it and live, don't sign it and die. It's that simple."

Judge didn't want to sign, he knew there must be a catch to this contract.

But he had no other options left.

He could take a leap of faith or calmly face death.

Given the choice of life, who would willingly embrace death?

Previously, he was cornered by Doflamingo, and to protect the Germa Kingdom, he could only resort to a scorched-earth strategy for a slim chance to breathe.

Now he had a chance, it was up to him to grasp it.

"You have 10 seconds left, it seems you've made your decision."

Abel looked up at Buffalo, who was getting closer from the horizon, and decisively prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Judge, with a hoarse voice, asked: "I can sign, but you have to swear..."

"Why should I swear? If you won't sign, forget it. You're acting as if I'm the one begging you."

Abel was not going to tolerate this kind of behavior.

Judge finally panicked, "Give it to me, I'll sign!"

To save his own life, to realize his dreams, Judge had to compromise.

Even though Abel refused to make an oath, Judge noticed that Abel and Doflamingo might not share the same objectives.

So he was willing to take a gamble.

Even if he lost, he would simply try again.

Since he was able to initiate the self-destruction protocol once, naturally he could do it again. And the method of initiation would be absolutely unpredictable to others.

As for the contract, there might be something strange, but he didn't think he couldn't handle it.

"Remember, write your full real name. If you try any tricks, there won't be a second chance. I'll kill you on the spot."

After throwing the "Contract of the Dominating Demon" in front of Judge, Abel warned him with squinted eyes.

"There's no pen."

"Don't you have blood on you? Dip your finger in it and write."

Judge wished to stall for time, examining the contract in detail. However, he found to his chagrin that he couldn't understand the words written on it.
