Clothing that can resist the Justice Rune Stone must at least be of the same value tier. According to James Carter, a single Holy Light Rune Stone can be sold for three gold coins. Then, the even more formidable Justice Rune Stone—just from the complexity of its patterns—can be inferred to be worth at least several times more than the former!

James Carter stepped forward and carefully examined this noble robe, said to be made from lizard-rat hide.

The robe, now purified of its dark aura, revealed its true appearance. All stains had vanished, and it was covered with intricate patterns less than 10 microns thick, weaving the entire robe into a unified whole.

Its complexity far surpassed even the patterns on the temple’s outer walls. What surprised James Carter even more was that, just like the Justice Rune Stone, these energy patterns were filled with a glass-like translucent substance. The only difference was that the glass on the Justice Rune Stone was golden, while on the robe it was a deep emerald green!

James Carter stared unblinkingly, and eventually found a tiny point of light inside the robe’s lining. The pattern of this light point was unusually simple.

The familiar arrangement of the patterns excited James Carter. Although this logical structure differed in absolute form from the origin patterns on the Justice and Holy Light Rune Stones, its topology was essentially the same. Since that was the case, why not give it a try and see what would happen?

With a pounding heart, James Carter focused his attention as never before, and, just as he had activated the Justice Rune Stone earlier, began to try to activate this mysterious robe.

The quasi-origin structure on the robe began to glow faintly under James Carter’s mental power, like a wire being heated red-hot, with his mental power as the flame.

Gradually, the light began to flow like water, spreading out thread by thread from the origin, racing across the entire robe.

As time passed, sweat dripped in large beads from James Carter’s forehead, while the tiny streams of light on the robe slowly thickened, converging and gradually reaching a critical point.

Yes, a critical point—James Carter could feel that if he could just push through, a sudden transformation would occur!

Just as James Carter was about to give in, on the verge of fainting, the immense resistance pressing on his mind suddenly vanished, and the once inconspicuous robe underwent a world-shaking transformation.

The entire robe moved, “standing” upright as if worn by an invisible person. All its patterns lit up completely, and countless threads of light extended from it into the air, forming surging, leaping emerald flames.

“Damn!” James Carter’s eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock. This was yet another technology completely unknown in the Milky Way.

This energy self-circulation system formed by magical patterns was simply too astonishing. He just didn’t know what it was for.

James Carter reached out a finger and slowly approached the emerald flames. When he touched them, he felt as if his fingertip was being gently brushed by a feather—slightly ticklish.

“Seems harmless.” Being extremely sensitive to changes in his body, James Carter quickly reached this conclusion.

He simply stepped forward and put the robe, which was floating in midair, onto his body. It felt just as it had that morning—exceptionally warm.

But there was something different: the emerald flames began to envelop him, slowly extending over his entire body.

Soon, James Carter felt his frostbitten feet become numb, itchy, and tingly—somewhat uncomfortable, but mostly pleasant.

“These emerald flames actually have a healing effect.” James Carter simply took his feet out of his boots, fully immersing himself in the sensation.

The sores on his feet were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and new skin was growing at an incredible rate, quickly covering the entire surface.

His previously numb, stiff muscles were becoming soft and sensitive, and the hidden injuries inside were rapidly disappearing!

Not just his feet—James Carter’s whole body felt incomparably comfortable.

Gradually, the emerald flames began to penetrate deeper, no longer limited to the surface of his body, but seeping into James Carter’s inner layers.

This was an exceptionally rare opportunity to observe the workings of this world’s magical powers up close.

James Carter opened himself completely to the baptism of this miraculous emerald energy, and his brain automatically began a precise observation. This time, he held nothing back—he went all out!

The emerald flames gave James Carter confidence, allowing him to release all restraints.

The energy in James Carter’s body surged toward his brain. Except for his heart, which maintained enough energy to keep functioning, all his other organs entered a minimal operating state.

Meanwhile, on the robe, the light flames running through his whole body seemed to possess consciousness, with most of them concentrating toward James Carter’s brain.

This low-power, intelligent body was now running in overdrive. If someone were to observe the surface of his brain under a microscope, they would see the tiny blood vessels constantly rupturing, and the hypertrophic central neurons dying at an extraordinary rate.

These neurons simply couldn’t withstand such intense mental activity—they perished before their work was done.
