Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Life awakens from silence and blossoms in fervent anticipation.

Someone held their breath, and for a moment the air seemed to freeze.

The specks of light fell on my body, my palms, and finally onto the ground.

In the stillness of the night, someone's heart, which had stopped beating, quietly began to beat again.

"...Dad...Dad? Why are you crying?"

The old man knelt beside his son, watching his lifeless flesh and blood return to the world.

It wasn't until his son's hand, which was still a little cold but was warming up, grasped his rough, dirty hand that he realized what was happening. Unconsciously, tears streamed down his wrinkled face.

"They're back...they're back..."

He hugged his son tightly, and his daughter-in-law, who had woken up at some point, slowly leaned in beside him.

Neither of them asked any further questions, because the silence they shared already conveyed their meaning.

All the survivors embraced their loved ones, spouses, and friends whom they thought they had lost forever...

The joy of finding something lost is beyond words, a beauty that cannot be described in short words.

This night was filled with so much, yet it truly showed humanity that hope will always accompany disaster.

At this moment, Lu Yu, who was already exhausted, felt a wave of weakness wash over her and was about to collapse to the ground when she was supported by the little girl beside her.

"……Thanks……"

She instinctively wanted to touch the little girl's head, but then realized her hands were covered in mud, so she stopped mid-air.

"Sister, have they all been resurrected?"

The little girl looked up at Lu Yu, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

"They won't die again?"

Lu Yu paused, somewhat puzzled, but still nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, Lin Qiye, who was walking towards them, saw Lu Yu's pupils shrink and shouted urgently:

"Lu Yu! Let go!!!"

Lu Yu looked up at Lin Qiye, who was looking anxious. She was about to let go as he said and didn't intend to ask for the specific reason, but the girl next to her grabbed her hand.

"Open the No-Rules Airspace!"

The little girl's voice rang in her ears, and then an invisible barrier stood between Lu Yu and the others.

Oops……

She was now completely out of control, and for a moment she didn't have the strength to break free from the strange child in front of her.

"Resurrection... Hahahaha... So many people can actually be resurrected!!!"

The little girl's eyes were filled with a strange light as she looked at Lu Yu. Those eyes had long lost the innocence that should belong to someone her age, and were filled with calculation and greed.

"You should be my follower!!!"

"Deer! Return to God's embrace... Let me lead you to experience the truth!!!"

Lu Yuma's face showed a blank expression: Oh ho... it seems I've been tricked...

It turns out that the guy who kept saying "Dad went into the mountains" was just talking nonsense! And the "Dad" he was talking about was just himself, wasn't he?

She quickly composed herself, and before the little girl in front of her could continue preaching, she spoke without hesitation:

Do you know where your most beautiful feature is?

The little girl's babbling, or "?"

Lu Yu: "Dream on! Is your house fixed yet? You're here to do pyramid schemes again?"

It was fixed in just six months?

I do not believe.

His tone was extremely hoarse, and looking at Lu Yu's pale and powerless face, he laughed instead:

"I originally wanted you to become my follower directly, but it seems you don't appreciate it at all..."

The little girl's body gradually became transparent, and a grown man suddenly appeared where she had been standing. He was dressed in a suit and tie that was so familiar it was nauseating; it was the alter ego of the delirious girl.

"In that case, it's better to just take control of you..."

Lu Yu rolled her eyes: "Then why don't you give it a try..."

You think you can control my mind?

Are you underestimating my ancient family and friends?

Wasn't the lesson Qiye taught you enough? Did you have to do it again before you felt at ease?

That's not right either. The original body of the babbling tale is still being hunted down by the [medium] team. This is a clone, so there's only one possibility: the memories between this guy's clones are not shared.

Lu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.

If this guy insists on going to the depths of his soul that connects him to another world...

Lu Yu could only leave him with one sentence—

The vast, untamed stage awaits you; come if you dare!

If I win, I admit defeat; if I lose, I admit victory.

Yiyu seemed to sense Luyu's confidence and sneered, "I've changed my mind..."

"Such incredible power couldn't possibly come from the mortal realm... it must be the power of a god!"

As one of the three gods of the Church of the Ancient Gods, Yiyu wouldn't be a fool; he even nodded happily.

"How could I possibly wrest the right to a contract from a god? As for killing you, of course I wouldn't do that..."

He looked at Lu Yu with a leisurely air and a strange smile on his face: "Do you remember the bottle of water you drank?"

Lu Yu felt a slight unease in his heart.

Children are always the easiest people to let their guard down with.

This guy dressed up as a little girl to bring her water, and she naturally accepted and drank it...

So what's inside...?

Lin Qiye and his group, along with Yuan Gang, ran straight through the crowd towards this small, empty area.

Although they didn't know what the babbling was thinking, it allowed them to see what was happening inside. But upon hearing this, their previously composed expressions finally crumbled:

What the hell did you drink, you bastard?!

They'd just put anything in their mouths without hesitation!

Lu Yu stared intently at the babbling in front of him. Exhausted from working for so long, his voice had become hoarse from constantly calling out and comforting him.

What was put in the water?

"A baby that can make you sleep forever —"

Yiyu glanced meaningfully at Lin Qiye outside, her eyes seemingly filled with mockery:

"Hypnos, the god of sleep, shed his last tears."

Lu Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

Lin Qiye, who was outside, stared at Yiyu almost at the same moment he heard that familiar name.

Hypnos.

This name may be unfamiliar to many people who are not familiar with Greek mythology, but for Lin Qiye, it represents a brotherhood in a different sense.

Although Lin Qiye is usually called "Danatus" by Nyx, he is always aware that he is neither the legendary god of death, Thanatos, nor the brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep that Nyx claims does not want to go home.

Now someone is holding the tears of that god, and in his hospital is the true mother of the god of sleep!

The final tears...

Lu Yu smiled coldly, a smile that was hard to express.

Those Greek stallions sacrificed other people's children, and you're using this thing, which is like a relic, on me?

Whether it was the effect of those tears or not, Lu Yu felt as if all the strength in her body was being drained away.
