Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

In the pitch-black night, the moonlight, falling like water, was completely absorbed by the thick fog.

In the mist, amidst the dilapidated buildings, the crackling sound of a burning campfire could be heard intermittently.

On the flat boulder, Chen Shu rested his hands behind his head, recalling the events of the day with a lingering sense of dread.

Loki truly lives up to his title as the God of Mischief; even with Thor's hammer completely gone, he still managed to outsmart Chen Shu.

If Chen Shu hadn't believed that Thor's hammer couldn't possibly contend with the two gods, and hadn't happened to possess a mysterious and seemingly incredibly powerful item, he would have fallen into their trap.

"Master, why don't you hold me while you sleep?"

A strange question instantly pulled Chen Shu back to reality from the lingering fear of surviving the ordeal.

Chen Shu propped himself up, frowned, and looked at Fen Tian on the other side of the campfire, asking in surprise, "What did you see this time?"

Fen Tian stared at Chen Shu strangely, picked up his phone and waved it around, "In novels, boys always sleep while holding girls, why don't you hold me, Master?"

Looking at Fen Tian's "curious" appearance, Chen Shu couldn't believe that this was the same Fen Tian who had punched him into the wall.

Speechless, Chen Shu wiped his face and said in a deep voice, "...They're either boyfriend and girlfriend or married."

"Oh, oh." Fen Tian nodded as if he understood, then smiled happily and ran over to Chen Shu's side.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Shu reached out to stop Fen Tian, ​​who wanted to lie down next to him.

When Chen Shu stopped him, Fen Tian immediately became unhappy and pouted, "You're a man and I'm a woman, and you still say we're good friends."

Ah? ? ?

How can this be related?

Knowing he couldn't explain it to her, Chen Shu changed the subject, "Why do you want me to hold you while you sleep?"

"I love you!!" Fen Tian seemed very happy and blurted it out, blinking his eyes expectantly at Chen Shu.

Holy crap! It's disturbing my Daoist mind?!

Chen Shu pinched her chin and said sternly, "You are not allowed to say those three words again."

"Why~" Fentian swayed his body, looking extremely cute with his aggrieved yet unwilling-to-deny expression.

"Wait until you truly understand the meaning of these three words before saying them to the person you really like."

"……All right……"

……

The location where Chen Shu and his companion fought against the Twin Eagles during the day.

A strong smell of blood lingered in the air.

In the mist, a lone hyena slowly approached, following the scent.

As the hyena passed by a boulder, it did not notice a clump of black liquid clinging to its body.

Within seconds, the hyena, which was licking the remaining blood on the ground, began to writhe uncontrollably...

A deep blue liquid flowed from his body, a flash of light appeared, and "Chen Shu," with a wicked smile, looked towards the direction of Great Xia...

In a fleeting glimpse, a greedy desire flashed in "Chen Shu's" eyes...

……

Great Xia. Upper Capital.

Shang Peking University.

Qin Xue walked out of the school gate hand in hand with a girl who had a good figure and looked like the child of a wealthy family.

After leaving the house, the two walked together for a while, and then stopped at a fork in the road.

"Ya'er, see you tomorrow!" Qin Xue reluctantly let go of the girl's hand.

"Okay, okay, see you tomorrow!" The girl called Ya'er looked at Qin Xue with a smile.

After the two parted ways, Qin Xue walked alone towards the Qin residence.

As they passed through an alley, a man in a straw hat emerged under the cover of darkness and followed behind Qin Xue.

"Brother Xia Ke, you don't actually need to wait for me here every day," Qin Xue said softly, seemingly with a hint of helplessness.

Since the swordsman came to the capital, Qin Xue has been accompanied by him every day on her way to and from school. Although he never appears in public and Qin Xue doesn't know what he's doing when she can't see him, she still feels that he's a bother to her.

"It's alright, the boss said he would ensure your safety," the swordsman said calmly.

Upon hearing the word "boss," Qin Xue suddenly lost interest in chatting, took out a phone from her pocket, and opened a chat app.

The pinned chat box still doesn't have a red dot.

When you click through, all the messages are ones you sent yourself.

"Brother Chen, why haven't you replied to me yet?"

"Brother Chen, I helped Xia Ke close another deal! Aren't I awesome?"

"..."

"Brother Chen, did you go into the fog?"

"Brother Chen Shu, Brother Xia Ke won't tell me where you went..."

"..."

"Brother Chen, I got my phone!"

From the latest news to the first message about getting the phone, Qin Xue read through it all...

Qin Xue let out a soft breath, seemingly somewhat disappointed. She clicked the input box for a long time, unsure of what to say.

In the end, Qin Xue did not type anything, exited the chat interface, and turned off her phone.

The swordsman simply watched Qin Xue's actions calmly; Chen Shu did not instruct him not to tell Qin Xue about his trip to the Misty Mist.

The decision was made by Divine Might, whose reasoning was, "If you tell her, she'll only worry helplessly. If she finds her father again, it will get back to the Night's Watch, which would be bad."

“If we don’t tell her, she will only have this guess and will not go directly to her father to ask us.”

"We just need to trust that the boss will return safely from the fog."

Although the knight thought that Shenli was just worrying unnecessarily, he didn't say anything, since the Qin family did have a good relationship with the Night Watch.

……

After the Twin Eagles incident, Chen Shu dared not be too flamboyant in the mist. He mainly hunted down the mysteries of the "Pool" and "River" realms, and occasionally encountered those of the "Sea" realm.

After maintaining this state for a month and a half, they began preparations to return to Daxia.

This mission involved scavenging antiques, and Chen Shu completed a small part of it, finding some antiques in an abandoned museum.

Unbeknownst to Chen Shu, as he was heading towards Great Xia, a man who looked exactly like him was also traveling towards Great Xia in the far distance ahead of him.

It was night when we were about ten days away from Daxia.

Chen Shu, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. A series of messy and heavy footsteps came from a distance and were approaching the two of them.

Chen Shu glanced at the campfire that had just died down and was still flickering with embers, but ignored it and walked over to Fen Tian.

Gently shake the dreamlike Burning Heaven, "Burning Heaven, Burning Heaven..."

"...Master~ What are you doing~"

Fen Tian groggily opened his eyes, and a soft, sweet voice reached Chen Shu's ears.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Chen Shu no longer had time to explain to her. He reached his hands under her, lifted her up slightly, and darted away into the distance...
