After receiving the information from Zenon, the Halo gained a general understanding of the current situation in the human world and also conceived a new plan to collect offerings.

"Zenong, is it alright for me to take the lead in this plan?"

The halo spoke to Zenong.

"Hmph, I only care about receiving offerings, I have no interest in anything else."

Zenong snorted and agreed. After all, he was not in good condition and could not take too much risk. He could just be a helper.

"In that case, then create a clone of yourself and descend upon the human world together with my clone."

Seeing that Zenong was so agreeable, the Halo entity also stepped in to make arrangements.

Before long, two energy entities, one white and one black, separated from Zenon and the halo and flew towards the human world.

……

"Eri, are you alright?"

Inside a coffee shop, Aki Tomoya, with a plaster on his face, asked Sawamura Eriri, who was sitting opposite him, with a guilty look on his face.

"Hmph, you'll be disappointed. Thanks to Dr. Chen Xuan, I survived unharmed."

Eriri Sawamura said in a cold voice, sounding annoyed.

"No, no, Eriri, I'm just glad you're alright. It was my fault for leaving you behind and running away last time."

Seeing that Eriri Sawamura's face was ashen, Tomoya Aki quickly apologized.

"So you know it's wrong to abandon me and run away? Hai Meng and I almost died!"

Eriri Sawamura roared at Tomoya Aki.

"I know, I know, don't be so loud, someone will hear us."

Seeing that Eriri Sawamura was so agitated, Tomoya Aki quickly tried to calm her down.

"Phew, so what do you want from me today, you runaway bastard? If it's just to apologize, you can leave now. I feel like throwing up just looking at your face."

Eriri Sawamura crossed her arms and looked coldly at Tomoya Aki.

"Um, although I know it's a bit presumptuous, Eriri, could you please come back to my club as a game illustrator? The new CP exhibition is coming up soon, and if I don't finish the game soon, all my hard work will be for nothing."

Aki Tomoya became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his bloodshot eyes, swollen from lack of sleep, widening, and his expression making him appear rather manic.

Chapter 80: Aki Tomoya and Eriri turn against each other, the Angel Contract

"Ha, what nonsense are you spouting? After what awful things you did to me, do you think I'd still help you? If Dr. Chen Xuan hadn't arrived just in time, I would have been killed by those weirdos. How dare you ask me to continue helping you?!"

Eriri Sawamura hysterically roared at Tomoya Aki. Even she didn't expect Tomoya Aki to be so shameless. He almost killed her, yet he could still shamelessly ask her to work for him.

She was willing to work as a game illustrator in Aki Tomoya's small, run-down club purely because the two were childhood friends, and Aki Tomoya had repeatedly come to her house to beg her, so she reluctantly agreed to work as a game illustrator for Aki Tomoya's group.

You know, that bastard Aki Tomoya made her work, not only 996 every day, but also without paying her a salary. He only said that he would give her a portion of the game's sales revenue as compensation, which is just empty promises.

Originally, she was willing to tolerate it out of consideration for her childhood friend, but this jerk abandoned her and ran away on his own when they went to the comic convention to collect materials. If she hadn't happened to run into Chen Xuan, she would have died there. Aki Tomoya's behavior has completely made her give up on him. How could she possibly go back to help him continue drawing game concept art?

"Didn't I already apologize? What more do you want from me? I'm just an ordinary person. When I encounter those terrifying monsters, I can only run away. Otherwise, I would definitely die somewhere."

"Besides, you're perfectly fine right now, isn't that enough? And it was agreed from the beginning that you'd be the original artist for my game. Do you really want to abandon me like you did when we were kids?"

"This game is the result of my hard work and dedication. If it's not released before the CP convention, all my efforts and hard work will be wasted. Eriri, can't you be a little more understanding? Are you trying to ruin me by being so willful?!"

Provoked by Eriri Sawamura's words, Tomoya Aki could no longer suppress his emotions and vented them on Eriri Sawamura.

"what?"

"Aki Tomoya, you bastard, I'm being willful? I work 996 every day to draw original illustrations for you for free, and you still say I'm not considerate of you? You should know that I'm a top artist on Pixiv, and countless people ask me to draw for them. If it weren't for the fact that you're my childhood friend, I wouldn't have joined your lousy little club."

Eriri Sawamura looked incredulous upon hearing Tomoya Aki's words, then roared in fury.

"Fine, fine, you've finally said what's on your mind, haven't you? I knew you looked down on me from the bottom of your heart. Back in elementary school, you deliberately left me out and made me look bad. Sawamura Eriri, you're such a vicious woman."

Eriri Sawamura's words were like a bomb that detonated all the darkness in Tomoya Aki's heart.

Snapped

"Aki Tomoya, I'm cutting ties with you now. You can just drown in your unfinished, broken game."

Eriri Sawamura, enraged, slapped Tomoya Aki across the face, then grabbed her bag and stormed out of the coffee shop.

"Eri Sawamura, you bastard."

In a fit of rage, Aki Tomoya swept all the cups off the table in front of him onto the floor.

Ding

Just as Aki Tomoya was venting his frustrations, his phone rang. But what he saw only made his emotions, which had just calmed down, fluctuate again.

The phone displayed Kasumigaoka Utaha's message, which simply stated that she was dissatisfied with what he had done to Sawamura Eriri and had chosen to leave the club.

"Bastards, bastards, one after another they look down on me, they all betray me. I made the right choice. If I had just done what I said, everything would have gone smoothly, and I would have become a celebrity no less than Chen Xuan."

"Why, why did you betray me?!"

Aki Tomoya roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot and his face full of madness.

Just then, two energy entities, one black and one white, surged into Aki Tomoya's body, and at the same time, a pleasant and melodious voice rang in Aki Tomoya's ears.

"Young man, do you want power? Do you want to be the center of attention? Do you want to change your destiny?"

"Who is it? Show yourself."

Upon hearing the sound, Aki Tomoya looked around but found no one speaking.

"No need to look anymore, I am in your mind."

The voice sounded again.

"Get out of here."

Aki Tomoya roared furiously, now burning with rage and unable to listen to anything.

"Can you really let me go?"

"Do you really want to fall from grace and be doomed forever?"

"And that girl from earlier, you must really want to get revenge on her, right?"

The sounds rang out one after another.

"you can help me?"

Having calmed down a bit, Aki Tomoya asked in a cold voice.

"Of course, these are just trivial matters."

The voice affirmed.

"Then what do I need to pay?"

Aki Tomoya asked, knowing full well that something that could grant wishes couldn't possibly be free and would always come at a price.

“I am a merciful being, and I can help you if you become my apostle.”

As the sound rang out, a contract appeared in front of Aki Tomoya.

"Hmph, don't try to fool me. I will never sell my soul."

Aki Tomoya snorted coldly. As a seasoned otaku, he was well aware of the tricks of these suddenly appearing beings.

Although the other party claims that as long as he becomes their apostle, they can help him fulfill his wishes, who knows if the contents of the contract will suddenly change after he signs it, or if his soul will be devoured by the other party? Aki Tomoya is just a homebody, not stupid, and he won't fall for such a big trick.

"This guy is pretty smart. Looks like I'll have to find another target."

Seeing that Aki Tomoya was completely unmoved by the contract, the clone of Ze Nong inside Aki Tomoya immediately decided to run away.

"What's the panic? I've checked this human's memories, and based on my experience, this guy will definitely sign a contract and become our apostle."

“People like him are only outwardly respectable; their inner darkness is as sticky and filthy as mud. The reason they haven’t signed yet is simply because the tipping point hasn’t been reached. Once they fall into despair, the darkness in their hearts will be completely unleashed. At that time, they will be willing to sell their souls or become an apostle.”

The aura surrounding Zeno, after examining Aki Tomoya's memories, spoke with an air of confidence, saying that it had already devised a perfect plan to make Aki Tomoya a completely loyal dog under their command.

"Let's make it clear beforehand, we can't drag this out for too long, or I'll just run away."

Seeing his ally's confidence, Zenong didn't try to persuade him further, only leaving behind a single sentence: "Nai..."

Chapter 81 Nami's Cry for Help, New Member Joins

"Lady Chen Xuan, the test results for the Demon God's physical body are in."

Inside Feidian Intelligent's research lab, Lingyi's voice rang out, followed by a large number of data reports appearing on the main control screen.

"As expected, it's pretty much what I thought. It's just a body constructed using a special technique, so it doesn't have much reference value."

Chen Xuan quickly glanced at the data on the screen and sighed, clearly somewhat disappointed.

"However, it should have been thought of earlier. After all, they are beings whose core is entrusted to the divine spark. It is too idealistic to expect to find some data on the evolution of life levels in their remains."

"Let Zero use this method to cut off a part of the demon god's body to make a potion, and then conduct preliminary experiments."

Although Zenong's remains did not provide Chen Xuan with what she wanted, they were still the body of a god, and therefore still held some value for ordinary humans.

If Zenong's body is made into a potion according to Chen Xuan's method, ordinary humans who are injected with it will have their affinity for magic increased, and their cells will be forced to proliferate and mutate, resulting in a significant increase in physical strength.
