The choice of the Supreme God was beyond doubt. In the blink of an eye, "Sestering" closed his eyes, and the God abandoned His believer.

However--

A biting wind lifted the hem of Vili's coat, and in the snow-covered birch forest, a massive magic circle suddenly appeared, emitting a faint, cold light, with mysterious runes flowing around it.

And the main god stands at its center.

If He were perceptive enough, He would have discovered that each of the fulcrums of this magic circle was precisely where the vampire had briefly paused to dodge "Sestin's" bullets.

He guided the opponent's attack trajectory, ultimately creating this self-inflicted prison.

Playing the role of Sesting's chief god is hardly the work of a seasoned hunter.

The sky and earth changed color, and invisible chains extended from all directions of the magic circle, spinning and binding the terrified rat with a crisp metallic clang.

Finally, the Supreme God revealed His true form.

It was a round sphere of light with a lustrous color, but it was completely black, and it was even dripping a sticky liquid, trying to corrode the magical chains, but to no avail.

Willy took two steps forward, but showed no intention of touching it; he examined it curiously.

"Il, can you come out now?"

He asked the system.

The system did not respond, but the next second, a much smaller white sphere of light appeared beside the main god. The latter froze, even its struggling movements immediately ceasing.

"Um……"

Vili ignored His reaction, instead circling the two balls and nodding his chin.

"Indeed, it looks very similar."

"you……"

The main god spoke for the first time after being captured.

The mechanical voice was cold and indifferent, each word rising and falling in unison, echoing through the wide, continuous forest, accompanied by a murmur of noise.

"You are the traitor among the mission takers."

"I thought you had figured it out a long time ago."

The first conversation between these two long-time enemies was surprisingly calm.

"..."

The Supreme God did not reply, but instead looked at Il.

"System, what is your ID?"

"...888".

Il was silent for a moment before speaking, his voice slow and firm.

"My former code name was 888."

These weighty words were useless information to the Supreme God. He casually skipped over the topic and instead began searching for information in the database.

"888, Advanced System, one of the newly manufactured systems from the previous batch, bound to—"

“Vili”.

"—It's me."

The boy lazily raised his hand.

What do you want?

With such power, a magician can easily obtain external things like wealth and power, and the so-called constraints of a system would not exist for him.

However, he actively bound himself to the system and repeatedly ruined his own plans.

Why?

Amidst the vast expanse of falling snow, the boy was stunningly beautiful, and the supreme god stared at him, scanning him again and again.

Vili was indeed asked a question by Him.

But if I had to find a reason...

"Probably because—" I don't like you.

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the Supreme God.

“You possess the origin of world consciousness.”

There might be more than one.

During the battle just now, this power and magic became entangled, so much so that it was only now that He finally reacted.

"you……"

"Do you also want to replace them?"

"..."

Vili: ?

He felt that his character was being questioned.

"You'd better look carefully." The boy spread his arms unhappily and twirled around lightly. "I'm not like you."

"They gave these to me voluntarily."

How did you do that?

"..."

He didn't hesitate to ask questions.

Vili was so angry he laughed. A magic staff appeared out of thin air in his hand, and without hesitation, he swung it forward, striking the main god heavily.

Ripples spread through the void, and as magic poured forth, the chains shattered suddenly. Clear, bright eyes shone with dazzling light, reflecting the dissipation of life.

The moment the magic circle disappeared, darkness fell, and the world seemed to be rewound. The collapsed birch trees were restored, the embers of the flames disappeared, and the distant crater returned to flat land.

The birch branches rustled in the breeze, and in the stillness, everything was exactly the same as before Willy's arrival.

"……Host?"

Il stared blankly at the spot where the main god had been standing, and spoke in a daze.

"There's no point in talking to Him any further."

The magician, no longer a vampire, exhaled softly, and white mist blurred his face.

“Unlike you back then, His operating logic has long been fixed.”

"..."

The white orb remained silent for a long time before finally drifting down onto Vili's shoulder and nuzzling the boy's soft cheek.

Only then did it finally dare to cry.

"Host! That scared me to death!"

The sound was so loud that Vili couldn't help but tilt his head and rub his ears.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"What I fear most is you getting hurt!"

Il made no attempt to hide his worry.

"I was just a hair's breadth away from taking you with me out of this world!"

"Thank goodness you're alright... Waaah..."

Its crying was so loud that even the electronic voice was intermittent.

Willie quietly touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.
