Chapter 1041
Flynn gritted his teeth and looked at the woman in front of him. "Elder brother, don''t force me to do
this."
"That is just what I am doing." Henry stretched out a finger and tapped at the emptiness.
The woman''s mouth opened wide and she inhaled with great effort. However, it became
increasingly difficult for her to breathe, and a tormented expression showed on her face. The bones
of her shoulders started sinking into her body bit by bit.
Henry''s voice sounded. "There are a total of 206 bones supporting the human body. When I crush
every single bone in her body, piece after piece, she would have to suffer the agonising pain 206
times. The whole process of that wouldst about five hours. Throughout those five hours, I will
keep her alive and let her experience the feeling of control slipping away from her bit by bit. Next, I
will cut open her skin starting from her chest..."
The woman''s legs trembled uncontrobly, and a liquid slowly trickled down her legs, letting off a
foul stench.
"Enough!" Flynn roared and threw a punch in the air.
"Bang!"
Blood sttered across the wall. A headless female corpse slumped to the ground slowly.
Flynn took deep breaths, his forehead was drenched with sweat.
"Congrattions." Henry smiled slightly. "You''ve passed the final stage of this trial."
Flynn''s eyes were bloody. He slumped his head down powerlessly and said, "Brother, why? Why
the hell? Why did you have to force me like that?"
"Save your questions for tomorrow, you''ll have your chance. I''m sure that every single one of you is
dying for an answer." Saying that, Henry turned and opened the door. "You are not allowed to
dispose the body lying here. Go to the deck tomorrow morning."
For many, that night was a sleepless night.
Flynn sat in his bed and stared nkly at the headless female corpse lying in his room.
Soft and gentle music yed in Helen''s. She soaked in the bathtub, her hair was wet and she
gazed nkly straight ahead, her mind just as nk as her gaze.
The morning sun soon shined bright in the sky, many were gathered on the deck. They were all
participants who had returned from the Trial Ind, Flynn, Helen, and Alvin were among them.
Many of them stood there in a daze.
"Hello everybody," a voice rang out from the loudspeakers on the deck. "I know that you all have
plenty of questions for me today. Furthermore, I also know what is it that you wish to ask. You want
to know why you had to be so cruel at the trials this time, and why you had to kill each other? Why
you had to do some terribly brutal things, right?"
As soon as these words sounded, the people on the deck subconsciously looked to the direction of
the voice, because these were exactly what they were questioning in their hearts.
A figure appeared at the resting area of the deck. With his back to the sunlight, no one was able to
see his face clearly at first sight.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I''m the chief instructor of this Devil''s Trial." Henry grabbed onto the
railings with both of his hands and looked at the people on the deck from above. "And now I shall
answer your questions. The reason behind the cruelty and all the killing and all the brutal actions, is
because this is a Devil''s Trial! It is in fact prepared for Devils!"
When Helen and Alvin were finally able to see the person standing on the deck, their expressions
changed quickly.
Only Flynn''s eyes were still dull.
Henry scanned them one by one and continued, "I know that this trial will destroy your values, and
break you and the things you believe in: morality, trust, and love. In this trial you you shall
experience betrayal, despair, and obliterate your outlook of the world that you''ve had for decades!
That''s right! This is just what the Devil''s Trial aims to achieve!"

Henry raised his voice, "The purpose of the Devil''s Trial isn''t to award you with some kind of honour,
but to teach you how to survive better in this world! The purpose of youing here, is to make
yourself stronger! How do you make yourself stronger? First, learn to be indifferent. If you are
unable to refuse something, what gives you the right to be recognised as a strong person!"
"Second, learn to be cold-blooded! These are essential if you want to survive in this world!"
"Third, learn to ept! ept all obstacles, ept all the despair, ept all that turned your
values over. Only through this way can you survive. As for those who you can''t ept this, I can
only say that although you have obtained the certificate, you still haven''t really passed the real test.
I''ll say it again! This trial is a process to turn a human into a Devil!"
After saying those words, Henry stopped talking and looked down at the crowd.
On the deck, some had a look of relief because Henry''s speech was short, while some were still
very puzzled.
Helen took a step forward and said, "But there were some things that did not have to be done. It''s
your rules that lead us to killing each other!"
"Yes." Henry nodded. "It''s our rules that caused you to fight and kill each other, but you have to
understand that if I could create this set of rules, so could your enemies in the future. This is all I
have to say, if you still do notprehend, it means that you are not fit for the underground world.
It''s better for you to return to your ordinary world and enjoy your quiet life. I’ve already made it a fact
that this is a world where humans devour one another, not a child''s yground! May all of you be
notified that our ship is 30 nautical miles away from the coast. It would seem to me that some of you
need to be awakened, so I guess we won''t be dropping you off. Now, please walk to the edge of the
deck and jump into the sea on your own. I''ll count to ten, everyone has to jump, whoever doesn''t,
dies."
As soon as Henry finished speaking, an invisible force pressed towards the participants on deck.
Those nearest to the edge of the deck jumped without any hesitation.
Helen threw a stubborn nce at Henry and then leapt into the sea.
"Indeed. This is a world where humans devour one another." Alvin sighed and looked at Sloane,
who was next to him. "I might be faced with hardships at any time, but you may not always be by
my side."
"Don''t you worry, before you''ve fully grown, I will always be by your side." Sloane grabbed Alvin''s
hand.
"Although I know that you''re saying this for the sake of your own mission, but honestly, I like this."
Alvin held on to Sloane''s hand and jumped into the sea.
In less than ten seconds, the crowd had dissipated, Flynn was the only one left on the deck.
Flynn did not move a muscle, his eyes were still locked onto Henry, still awaiting an exnation.
Henry leapt over to Flynn and said, "You are the future leader. You have to kill whoever that wishes
to kill you. This is not only my demand to you but also from your father. He is unable to be strict with
you, unlike me. This is my exnation to you."
