Chapter 41

Everything that followed went so smoothly that the doctor hadn't even had time to react before he came out.

With a single kick, Shao Ji crushed the so-called god, turning the seemingly enormous god into something as fragile as an ant.

Then it was eaten. I don't know how to describe the scene, but I could clearly feel Shao Ji eating it.

But it wasn't done with his mouth, and the thing was several times larger than him, yet it was perfectly clear that the "thing" was being "eaten".

The taste is not bad.

The doctor was a little bewildered. "That's it?"

"It's over." Saying it was just a casual remark doesn't really mean it's over.

On the surface, Shao Ji appeared calm, but only he knew how much pain he had endured.

It looks like he's about to eat it, but the key point is that he hasn't "digested" it yet.

This isn't something tangible, more like faith or energy. Fortunately, Shao Ji herself is an energy being.

Theoretically, such "god-like" things are mostly composed of energy.

So it can devour, but in such an emergency, in order to rescue them, it swallowed everything whole.

It's more like fusion than devouring, but the other party in the fusion has no consciousness.

However, there are still some effects, such as the extra memories, and the fact that the system interface has a parenthesis that says "[Mental pollution (mild)]".

That's an almost cheating ability. Luckily, this persona has an empty head, so it can hold it for now.

Feeling the power within his body rapidly increasing, he noticed faint signs of cracking in some parts of his body.

But it was quickly repaired; it seems we need to hurry up and plan. McDangluo pondered this; he wanted to fully utilize the power of each of his alternate accounts.

He now understands just how important a persona is, so he needs to quickly patch it up.

The girl, who had always been radiating divinity, suddenly became like an ordinary young woman, revealing a smile. "Director, I've come to take you home."

Shao Ji's hands were stained with blood, from injuries she sustained while trying to break the barrier here.

The doctor glanced one last time at the spot where they had come out. It was still the same room, and the fluffy floor was still untouched.

Although it had only been a few hours outside, inside he felt as if he had been in another world.

There were four people when we went in, but now there are only two left.

Unexpectedly, he actually needed several children to save him.

The director was not only somewhat saddened, but also because his two pseudonyms were gone.

But it was clear that the doctor was more distressed.

The director couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; the doctor must have seen everything that had just happened.

It could be said that it directly killed him, so the faint sense of shame easily washed away all the sadness.

"...You take Shaoji to the research institute first, I still have some things to take care of."

The doctor seemed distracted and prepared to go home with the little girl.

Seeing that the doctor seemed very upset, the director, out of concern for his friend, decided to try to comfort him.

"Are you still thinking about what just happened?" Oh, right, he's currently using the pseudonym Shao Ji.

"..." The doctor was quite confused now, and had completely lost his previous desire to cause trouble for Shao Ji.

This event had such a huge impact on him that it washed away his delicate sense of social anxiety.

"Actually, the god used to be a very good person." Starting with the story, Shao Ji began to slowly tell the story of that god.

God used to be an ordinary boy, sunny, righteous, and full of love.

Before that, he had always regarded someone as a god, and together they protected the world. At that time, he felt extremely satisfied and happy.

And he has many friends with him.

Until one day, the person he was pursuing died… driven to death, driven to death by the very person they were protecting. (Remember? I said the original protagonist was driven to death; yes, that's the person.)

At that moment, God was filled with confusion.

He led the rest of his friends and fled far away.

Then he rescued an animal, but accidentally gave it intelligence, and these animals gained sentience.

These animals are different from humans; they were created by him, so they are extremely loyal and worship him as a god.

It seems that God has found a new purpose, and he began to wholeheartedly protect the demon race.

And he led his friends into one demon clan after another, guiding them toward a better life.

However, he didn't feel a sense of belonging; he always felt that he was human and they were demons.

However, his friends encouraged him at all times, never rejecting his ideas, and instead acting as his guides.

I don't know how many years passed.

His friends were all old and frail, but he, perhaps because of his faith, or perhaps because of his great strength in many things, had not lost anything. Although his physical body had decayed, he existed in the world in another form.

He was very confused. He grabbed the hand of his last friend and asked him what he should do.

Although he has lived for countless years, he is still like a child, and his friends still treat him like a child, protecting him at all times.

But the last friend's patience had reached its limit. Unlike him, he did not retain the mind of a young man. He looked like a frail old man lying in bed, unable to move. But God tried to keep him alive, allowing him to live in this form for who knows how many years.

But he really couldn't hold on any longer; he wanted to die and just disappear.

His friend patted his head and said, "Maybe you can let my bloodline accompany you in the future. After all, they have my bloodline, so they are a part of me."

After hearing the story, the doctor fell into a long silence, then seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Wait a minute, how did you know about this?"

Shao Ji was silent for a moment, then tapped her head. "I devoured him, including his memories."

Then the doctor quickly started talking nonsense.

"While I'm very grateful that you saved us, I'm telling you, your power is all show and no substance. If we were to fight again, you definitely wouldn't be able to beat me..."

Judging from his expression and the relief he showed, it seems he has moved on.

When only the doctor was left, he let out a soft sigh.

They are all good children.

God used to be a good person, but now he is not a good person.

He wouldn't change his mind over such a small matter; he was just a little... a little sorry for the person from before.

In a large, iconic base filled with sand sculptures, this bloody ritual was performed in silence.

Their large base has never been about charity; they adopt so many orphans only as a form of sacrifice.

The reason they were able to survive and thrive in this chaotic world was because of that layer of protection, and that protection required sacrifice.

The children of the demon race are thrown into the church. Sometimes God is in a good mood and will choose one, but if he is in a bad mood, he will choose a dozen or twenty.

His name is Jie Laoban, and he doesn't know what complicated feelings led him to keep this name.

He both hated and was grateful to Aji, even though he had imprisoned him for so long, he eventually sent him out of that cannibalistic place.

Unfortunately, in his later efforts to save the Han dynasty and protect the king, he eventually returned to the embrace of God and continued doing these meaningless tasks.

He kicked him out because he didn't want him to be discovered or participate in the ritual, because if he were discovered, he would definitely die.

He also specifically instructed Hamburger King, but he didn't expect Hamburger King to be so unreliable.

She herself was trapped in that base, and in the end, Aji could not escape the embrace of death.

One child after another was pushed inside, and soon the sound of children crying could be heard from within, and then…

Jie Laoban sighed, feeling a little tempted to light a cigarette, but he didn't smoke.

This matter is now closed.

After a while, Jie Laoban looked up and felt a sense of disbelief.

What's going on? Usually it only takes 5 minutes, right? The kids would escape in just 5 minutes.

Upon closer listening, he discovered that there was no sound coming from inside, and Jie Laoban's face darkened.

Something was wrong, so they called a guard in and told him to go inside.

Hearing a muffled groan followed by silence, it's likely that the guard is in grave danger.

What exactly happened? Jie Laoban hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped inside.

Two more guards, who were ahead of him, went in together.

The scene inside was like hell on earth, with blood and severed limbs everywhere.

God seemed quite impatient. He didn't know what had happened, but he was missing a part of his limb, so he needed to replenish his energy.

With two quick snaps, the two guards died. A swift tentacle, after killing the two, rapidly moved to kill Jie Laoban.

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly when it was only a centimeter away.

Then his voice hesitated. "My proxy?"

Jie Laoban breathed a sigh of relief and was about to answer.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down to find that the tentacle had pierced his heart.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. I just want to see the outside world. I'll borrow your body for a bit. Is that alright?"

The voice of God came from his chest.

Jie Laoban touched it incredulously; there wasn't a single scratch on it.

"Your heart is impure, so how can it be black?" God was somewhat dissatisfied, as this indicated that the person did not have much faith in him. He angrily ripped off the black piece.

Jie Laoban curled up on the ground in pain.

He knew that half of his heart had been torn away, but strangely, apart from the pain, he felt no other discomfort.
