Chapter 642 - 575: The Judge’s Judgment
Sure, here is the translation following your guidelines:

Necro’s heart suddenly felt empty, as if something had suddenly flown away, impossible to catch. That inexplicable emptiness made him feel a touch of bewilderment for the first time in his life.
When he realized that he was once again emotionally manipulated by this lying female, he tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression growing colder, "What else do you have to pretend about? Do you think I’ll be fooled again this time?"
"Time and again, you deceive me, using your clumsy acting skills to mock me, this is the punishment you deserve!"
He squeezed Shen Tang’s face fiercely with his right hand, looking down at her, his tone cold and domineering, "This is just the beginning... Next, I will kill your beast husbands one by one, making you watch them die in front of you."
"I will continue to battle, conquer the Night Glow Empire in one fell swoop, and become the new Monarch of this land!"
"And you, will forever be my captive, feeling like death every day and night!"
Listening to these words, Shen Tang suddenly felt no anger, only found it laughable.
Indeed, she had previously felt pity for the Blood Clan’s plight, and with the threatening invasion of Alien Star, she harbored hope, trying her best to unite with the rebel army’s forces, even willing to set aside old grievances.
But now she realized, this plan was a joke from the start!
Allying with such an arrogant fool, perhaps one day she’d be stabbed in the back by her own allies, not even knowing how she died!
Shen Tang violently shook off his hand, coldly saying, "I said, take your dogs and get lost!"
Necro was suddenly stunned, being insulted by a female for the first time in his life, dared she call his subordinates dogs? Then what did she see him as?!
"You—"
He almost wanted to strangle her on the spot! But suddenly, the image of her with bloody tears, lost and pained, appeared before his eyes. For some reason, the tips of his fingers trembled slightly.
Shen Tang admitted her bad luck, turned around to leave.
But although her injuries had healed, her body was still weak and anemic. She blacked out and fell straight to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
...
Shen Tang seemed to have had a dream.
A very long, very long dream.
She seemed to hear a gentle female voice softly calling her "child". But then, the cold, electric voice of the system startled her awake.
[Host, you should wake up.]
Shen Tang awoke abruptly, met with a dark decor style, she should still be on the rebel army’s side.
Chilling aura seeped in from all around underground.
This small room didn’t have a single window, resembling a basement.
If she guessed correctly, this might be the dungeon of Necro’s palace.
Shen Tang’s body had mostly recovered. As she was about to move, the sound of clattering chains came to her ears, she looked down to see her hands and feet chained with heavy iron.
She sighed lightly, asking, "System, what’s the situation now?"
The system’s tone was still cold, [Host has been asleep for seven days.]
Shen Tang’s heart skipped, she hadn’t expected to be unconscious for so long.
Listening to the overly calm mechanical voice, she frowned, feeling something wasn’t right. Before she could ask, the system continued explaining,
[Current battle situation: Blood Clan’s forbidden treasury theft, Necro is convinced it was you and your beast husbands, has launched the rebel army in a massive attack on Night Glow Empire, vowing to conquer the Empire at all costs.]
[He has created a number of high-level Beastman Warriors exceeding the Empire, along with a continuously increasing Living Corpse Army. In just seven days, the Empire has lost three cities.]
[And your beast husbands have also lost control due to your disappearance, sworn to take you back from Necro.]
[The fierce battle has entered a fever pitch stage, the final decisive battle is on the verge of breaking out, which will completely determine the outcome of the war.]
The system coldly announced further:
[Upon system determination, Necro has completely fallen into madness, sin value reached 100, triggering a special task—the Judge’s Judgment!]
Shen Tang’s heart trembled: What is this?
[The Judge’s Judgment: This is a mandatory system task that the host cannot refuse. Please kill Necro with your own hands, and a new main storyline Chapter will begin!]
[This is a single-line plot task, cannot be interfered by others, otherwise task failure is determined.]
[Failure penalty: Death.]
[Countdown: 30 minutes, starting now.]
[Please execute the task immediately, host!]
Shen Tang’s sense of unease grew stronger, why would the system issue such a task?
In the past two years, the system had never released such a task, and its tone has become extremely unfamiliar, like when she first crossed over, without a shred of emotion!
More frightening is, the failure penalty for this task is death!
Which means, in 30 minutes, only one between her and Necro can survive!
"System, what on earth is wrong with you?"
[The system’s underlying code adheres strictly to the principles of justice. Necro has indiscriminately murdered innocents, committed grave sins, and severely disrupted the world’s order, thus deemed by the system as a dangerous target that must be eliminated.] The system’s voice was impartial and cold.
[Half a minute has passed, please act immediately, host!]
Shen Tang took a deep breath, her heart trembling. She didn’t want to completely destroy the Blood Clan, but is it inevitable to take this step?
Thinking of the way Necro brutally abused her... If he doesn’t die, this war is destined to end in mutual destruction, and no one will be the winner.
Maybe the system is right.
Only by killing Necro can this farce truly come to an end.
Shen Tang made up her mind to see him one last time.
...
It was already deep into the night, the battlefield was ablaze with flames, distant trenches echoed with roars, and the earth seemed to tremble.
Shen Tang hadn’t even stepped into the military camp when she was surrounded by the rebel army’s guards.
She spoke calmly, "I want to see Necro."
"I want to meet him alone, everyone step back."
If such arrogant words came from another female’s mouth, they’d either be laughed at as absurd or beheaded on the spot.
But everyone present looked frightened, not daring to make a move.
They knew the noble status of this female, and more importantly, the entangled and complicated relation between her and the leader.
North, being Necro’s loyal subordinate, naturally knew more inside information. Although the leader claimed to hate her, anyone with eyes could see that it was not just hate.
The sea of hatred and affection is love and hate intertwined.
If they dared to stop her from seeing the leader, the first one who would disapprove might be the leader himself.
North, quickly thinking, stepped aside to make way, "Please follow me, the leader is not in the military camp now, I will take you to him!"
He transformed into a pitch-black, sleek raven, bowed low to the ground, and gestured for Shen Tang to ride on his back.
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to get on.
North carried her, flying towards the mountain peak.
...
[Countdown 20 minutes.]
Shen Tang met Necro once again.
He stood alone at the top of the cliff, looking down, taking in the entire gruesome battlefield below.
He stood there silently on the mountaintop, from afar appearing like a grand and ancient statue.
His tall, upright figure emitted numerous blood-colored threads visible only to spiritual powers, spreading out in the air like a web, each end remotely connected to a rebel warrior.
As if energy was being transmitted, boosting these soldiers’ strength dramatically, making them invincible on the battlefield, turning them into unstoppable killing machines!
Necro used this to create a hundred thousand, a million strong rebel army!
But he didn’t seem to be in good condition at the moment, perhaps due to excessive blood power consumption during the ritual, or maybe due to the heavy damage from the death of his clone.
His face was pale, and his figure appeared thin, like an empty shell...

Given the previous communication issues, some people seem to never understand my words; maybe they can’t even calculate it, so here are the two most straightforward official statistical graphs.
Word count updated in September: 150,000+
As of October 28th, 138,000 words have been updated, close to 140,000 words.
The site’s requirement for daily basic updates is 4,000 words, calculated over 30 days, and each month needs an update of 120,000 words.
In October, due to accumulated reward, 5 Chapters were added, each consisting of 2,000 words, totaling 10,000 words.
Adding the occasional ramblings at the end of the text, rounding up, let’s say 1,000 words.
138,000 words - 10,000 words - 1,000 words = 127,000 words.
By the 28th, October’s basic updates have reached 127,000 words, and including the daily updates over the next two days (not including the 31st), the total will exceed 135,000 words — already surpassing the site’s requirement of 120,000 words.
Okay, I’ve actively helped those who said I ’owe updates’ to solve this elementary school math problem.
The first time since becoming an author that I’ve fussed over such trivial matters; it’s truly ridiculous... So please don’t make me solve childish problems again in the future!
This matter is now completely concluded.
Goodnight.
