Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

"Mother, let go of my brother. He can't keep crying like this."

Lin Qiye was genuinely afraid that Nyx would go crazy. After all, the healing progress was only 51%. If the healing progress dropped back after the highs and lows, then it would be truly disastrous.

"Mother, please don't cry, I'm fine."

Li Lian broke free from Nix's embrace and grasped Nix's other hand.

"Now I'm the one bullying others, nobody bullies me."

Li Lian wiped away the tears on his face and resumed his usual carefree and cheerful demeanor.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Just as Nyx was about to say something, Yuan Gang appeared at the top of the stairs carrying the Star Blade.

"Yuan Gang, deputy captain of the Great Xia Night Watch 006 Squad, may I ask your esteemed name?"

Yuan Gang unleashed his full spiritual power, his right hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightly.

Facing an unknown deity, Yuan Gang dared not relax for a moment.

"Nix."

Nyx also slowly exuded an aura, which seemed very gentle compared to Yuan Gang's violent mental power, but it suppressed Yuan Gang's mental power.

Her gaze was as if she were looking at an ant.

"So it's the Goddess of Night herself. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Can't you see I'm talking to my child? Why are you interrupting our family reunion?!"

Nix's aura suddenly surged, and sweat poured down Yuan Gang's forehead in an instant.

"Chief Instructor, it's alright, you can go now!"

Lin Qiye gestured for Yuan Gang to leave quickly, as Nyx was completely out of control at the moment, and any further stimulation might really drive him insane!

Li Lian gave Yuan Gang a reassuring look, then tugged at Nyx's hand.

"Mother, you scared me."

"Is that so? Mother is wrong, child, don't be afraid."

"..."

Yuan Gang remained silent, noticing the pressure on him had greatly lessened. He silently watched Li Lian and Lin Qiye.

Seeing that they were each holding one of Nyx's hands and didn't seem to be suppressed by his aura at all, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys chat, I'm leaving now!"

Lin Qiye is a good kid, and Li Lian is very clever. With these two around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

After Yuan Gang disappeared, Nix looked at the very obedient Li Lian and said:

"Hypnos, Mother hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Could you use your power to help her find peace of mind?"

I?

Help the goddess of the night to sleep?

My major isn't relevant to this! And I'm not really a sleeping god!

“Mother, my divine power is damaged, so I may not be able to help you much, but I will try.”

Li Lian finally decided to try using the newly acquired Dao Return technique, since it could repair injuries to the soul.

Maybe it will actually work for Nyx; let's give it a shot!

A pale green light emanated from Li Lian's hands, and as the spiritual energy within Li Lian's body was depleted,

The healing power traveled up the arm and continuously into Nyx's body.

However, Nyx was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much Li Lian inputted, it seemed to have no effect on Nyx.

To speed up the recovery of his spiritual power, Li Lian even put on the Death Knight's Armor.

But it was still no use. Li Lian's spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and his legs were getting weak. Nyx still didn't react.

Seeing Li Lian, who was somewhat unsteady on his feet, Nix's face showed a look of heartache.

"That's enough, Hypnos. I didn't expect you to be this weak."

He's willing to do everything in his power to help his mother; he's truly a good child!

Nyx embraced Li Lian once again, and a surge of pure divine power flowed from Nyx's hands into Li Lian's body.

"My mother is very grateful for your help. I'm sure she'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

But Mother is going home now, and unfortunately you cannot leave Thanatos's divine kingdom at this time.

"Your mother will come to see you again later."

As Nyx's pure divine power flowed into his body, Li Lian's feeling of exhaustion vanished instantly, leaving him feeling warm and comfortable.

"Ding! Level +1, current level is 15, obtained item: Zanpakuto."

Li Lian felt a surge of joy in his heart; he truly hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain!

"Thanatos, Hypnos, I'm going home now."

Nyx released Li Lian, and his figure slowly disappeared into the night.

Li Lian and Lin Qiye looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

"You go first, we need to agree on the same story with the head instructor later."

Li Lian found it amusing to see Lin Qiye's clueless attempt at making things up.

Lin Qiye nodded and pondered for a while.

It was explained that Nyx came to Great Xia to find an agent, and then she chose him. The agent's task was to help her find her lost bracelet.

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll be your witness!"

……

"So, that person appeared in Great Xia to find you to be their agent? Can you act as an agent for two gods at the same time?"

"Correct!"

"Li Lian, why are you there too?"

"The goddess of the night spent a long time choosing, but didn't choose me."

"Then why are you called children?"

"It's probably because of the divine power we possess that she misunderstood us."

Yuan Gang: (▼ヘ▼)

Why does that sound so unreliable?

"Since you both say so, then I will report it as such."

Yuan Gang chose to abandon his contemplation and confront the pressure of a deity, a pressure that has left him still reeling.

As for how to deal with this double agent, that's a matter for the higher-ups to consider.

"So you were already a proxy for the two gods, right? And that ability of yours that makes you stronger every night, was that also given to you by your mother?"

Li Lian and Lin Qiye returned to the rooftop of their dormitory once again, and he decided to have a chat with Lin Qiye.

"Yes, but why do you call her mother?"

"Then why do you call her mother too?"

After Li Lian finished speaking, Lin Qiye didn't know what to say.

The two of them stood there enjoying the cool breeze, neither of them speaking.

Actually, Lin Qiye was more curious about Li Lian. When did Li Lian learn to make that light that just appeared on his hand?

Why would Nyx say he could get a good night's sleep today?

Why did Nix's treatment progress increase by 1% immediately after Li Lian helped her?

Why can't Li Lian leave his divine kingdom?

He was very curious about these things, but he couldn't ask.

"I know you can see your mother often, remember to be good to her."

After saying this, Li Lian left, his back view appearing very lonely, like a wild goose separated from its flock.

After being hugged by Nyx twice, Li Lian, for some reason, had already accepted Nyx as his mother.

He felt safe and secure when being held, and he could even take off his mask without worry.

He knew he wasn't Hypnos, the god of sleep, and that Nyx's mental illness would eventually be cured.

But he was willing to acknowledge this mother, and he wouldn't refuse if Nyx needed his help in the future.

Because he felt love in Nyx!

It's not romantic love between a man and a woman, but the kind of love a mother has for her children.

Great yet ordinary maternal love!
