Chapter 47 The Judgment pt3. As Veronica stepped into the infamous judgment room, her heart skipped a beat. This was the room where the fates of many had been sealed.

She inquired, filled with anticipation, "What does it read?" "It describes the Gemini Heart in detail," Veronica explained, her voice hushed with reverence. "Its creation, its powers, its purpose."
