I would rather betray the gods

Perhaps it's because I'm particularly focused on my work, or perhaps time just flies by.

Yuzu felt like she hadn't even had a chance to get from the KTV to the studio before the sun was about to set.

At this rate, I might have to marry a real great-aunt in the future~ Yuzu sighed inwardly.

"What's up? Not working overtime today?"

Zhang Jiawen, my best colleague in the team.

"I'm not going back to do laundry. This morning was unlucky; I got bird droppings on my shoulder as soon as I stepped outside."

The pomelo is using a metaphor to express what happened this morning.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, specifically psychological cleanliness, and doesn't want people or things he dislikes to come into contact with him in the slightest.

At the same time, he is a very easygoing person, and he can sleep peacefully in the pen if he wants to.

"Then I won't work overtime. It's no fun being here alone, it's too late and it's eerie."

With that, Zhang Jia closed her notebook.

"Okay, I'll treat you to ramen."

Yuzu smiled secretly.

As the God-King, he could only secretly assure his friend that such a thing definitely didn't exist here.

"Let's do it another day. My wife is on a different shift today, so I've arranged to have a couple's set meal with her after get off work."

Zhang Jia was afraid that Youzi wouldn't believe her, so she even showed Youzi the chat history.

What Yuzu saw was a couple exchanging sweet nothings, and her smile vanished instantly, replaced by envy...

Back home, Yuzu tossed the food she'd bought on the way onto the dining table, then quietly went to the balcony.

The scenery outside remains the same, and the neon lights on the distant street are still so soothing.

He couldn't understand why his loneliness was growing stronger.

Buzz... Buzz...

Just as he was lost in his sadness, his phone vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw it was a call from Banlan. "Didn't I tell you, don't call from the lower heavens to the mortal realm unless it's absolutely necessary..."

"Second Master, did you use the power of the stars today?"

Before Yuzu could finish her rambling, Banlan interrupted her in a serious tone.

"right."

Yuzu sensed something was wrong and promptly answered truthfully, while casually touching her arm.

Just like when you're training your body, your arms feel awkward after using the power of the stars.

"That matches up; we detected the inner demon's rhythm."

This is the first time since Zifeiyu sealed it away, even though its aura is extremely weak.

On the other end of the phone, you could vaguely hear the head butler and others discussing something.

Is it really that effective? I haven't even found my sweetheart yet, and this inner demon is already stirring?

Yuzi was furious.

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, he gripped his phone tightly, unable to utter another word.

"Second Master, you should rest first. Go straight back to Half Heaven tomorrow morning."

On the other end of the phone, Banlan sensed that Youzi was in a very bad mood and stopped talking.

It's destined to be another sleepless night.

He tossed and turned in bed, thinking about many, many things.

He always thought that inner demons were still a distant matter, and that as long as the Milky Way was at peace for the next few years, they wouldn't appear in his life.

However, the truth is that things are far more serious than he imagined.

Forget about the idea that using stellar power triggered the resurgence of his inner demons; perhaps from the moment he was crowned God King, his inner demons were already part of his destiny—they are omnipresent.

Perhaps the fact that his beloved is not appearing for a long time is God's protection for him and his beloved, and even more so for all living beings.

Although he was unhappy, he carried so many heavy responsibilities, and he was willing to prepare himself for a life of loneliness and hardship...

The next day, half of the heavens were above.

The pomelo transformed into golden light and arrived at the main gate of the Pisces Palace.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his special battle suit was automatically put on him, much like a pet eagerly awaiting its master's return, the joy of a long-awaited reunion still lingering.

Wearing its battle suit, Yuzu looks incredibly majestic and imposing, even its walk is full of energy.

Upon arriving at the main hall, many core members of the Pisces Palace had been waiting for a long time.

Leading them were Banlan and the head butler.

It is thanks to them that the Pisces Palace can still function perfectly even when the God King is not around.

Amidst the worship of the crowd, the pomelo ascended the throne.

This is the first time he has presided over the affairs of the Pisces Palace in a royal capacity.

He lacked the smugness of his first time, and was neither overly cautious nor timid. On the contrary, his expression and demeanor were so calm and natural, as if the habits from his past life still remained in his soul.

Of course, everyone here is well aware that it was not a habit from his previous life, because the God King Pisces in his previous life had never sat on that throne.

Therefore, everyone was impressed by Yuzu's performance and couldn't imagine what kind of person could do such a thing.

Then, Banlan presented the data on the detected inner demon aura and explained the next steps in detail.

She said that after being defeated by her inner demons, she used her last strength to hide herself in a certain space, hoping to sleep and wait for her revival.

It wasn't, as the rumors suggest, that Zi Feiyu sealed him away. After all, he possessed the same strength as Zi Feiyu, and in the end, Zi Feiyu was powerless to stop him.

Yesterday's detection and analysis showed that the inner demons could awaken at any time. Fortunately, they are not yet powerful enough to be eliminated in their infancy once their hiding place is found.

Upon hearing this, Yuzu thought to herself that this was a great thing. If she could kill the inner demon now, wouldn't her biggest worry be solved? So she couldn't wait to ask what to do next.

The group had already discussed their strategy, and Banlan gave a four-word answer: "Follow the clues to find the melon..."

Yuzu and a group of people then arrived at the plaza where the "Galaxy Eye" was located.

The rest of the people each performed their duties.

"Let's begin, Second Master."

After some preparation, Pandan Pomelo said.

Yuzu nodded and immediately mobilized the power of the stars around her.

In an instant, crimson flames enveloped him.

Meanwhile, Banlan, with the help of several experts, began to control the [Galaxy Eye].

The Galaxy Eye can see into the universe, but where it can see depends on the power output of the controller.

With such a lineup, as long as Yuzu resonates with the inner demon, [Galaxy Eye] will surely be able to capture the scene.

After about fifteen minutes, the image displayed by the Galaxy Eye remained completely black.

At this point, Youzi had reached her limit, and stopped panting heavily, as if she had run a hundred laps around the track.

Seeing this, Banlan quickly stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Youzi's forehead.

"Did you find anything?" Yuzu took the handkerchief and wiped herself, not used to being served.

"Finding a needle in a haystack is easier said than done."

Banlan looked at Youzi with heartache, and at the same time took out her phone to ask the head housekeeper if there had been any results.

The head butler quickly replied, saying that the cosmic radar had not detected anything.

By noon, the group had tried several more times, intermittently.

Even after Yuzu activated her demigod form, she still gained nothing.

"Again!"

Desperate to vanquish the demon, Yuzu ignored the pain of the star power backfiring on her body and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Banlan disobeyed and gave the others a look, signaling them to disperse for the time being.

Then, she gently walked to Youzi's side and said softly, "Second Master, let's rest for a while and find out the reason before trying again."

Hearing what Banlan said, Youzi realized that she had gone too far.

He is a god-king; he should not act impulsively.

So he reverted to his demigod form.

Without the blessing of his demigod form, the pain in his body immediately intensified several times, but he never showed it on his face.

"What's for lunch, Second Master? Let Banlan show you what she can do."

Banlan looked at the cold sweat constantly seeping out of Youzi's body and knew that his body had reached its limit, and she felt really sorry for him.

"We'll talk about it tonight. I'm going back to my bedroom to rest for a while."

Yuzu left as she spoke.

As he walked, he stopped and turned back to ask Banlan for directions to his bedroom.

To his shame, he only knew the way from his bedroom to the main hall in the Pisces constellation.

But he had only asked half a question when everything went black and he fainted...
