Lightning struck, blasting all the small snakes on the ground into pieces!

Jiang Ran's mental energy was severely depleted after using [Miracle] multiple times, while Yang Kaixu's mental energy was plentiful.

But Yang Kaixu relied on the power of Gwen and Alice's faith, which meant he was destined not to be the final victor!

If he can truly cooperate sincerely with the director and the two are completely of one mind, it will be a considerable problem for Jiang Ran.

If Yang Kaixu successfully kills Jiang Ran, he will take away all the divinity in Jiang Ran. With these "miracles", Yang Kaixu will no longer be afraid of the director's "writer"!

At that point, things might get out of control for the director, because he doesn't trust Yang Kaixu!

Yang Kaixu needs his power now, which is why he cooperates with him. But once Yang Kaixu fully obtains Jiang Ran's divinity, he will no longer be a good partner.

So the director chose to strike first, and this supposedly powerful combination fell apart due to an internal crisis of trust.

If Yang Kaixu really killed Jiang Ran, would he betray the director...? Haha, even he himself can't say for sure, who knows?

"The snakes are gone, no one will believe him anymore!"

"Rusger! Charge!"

Jiang Ran first reminded everyone that there was nothing left to support Yang Kaixu's trust, so Gwen and the others would no longer believe in him, causing their [faith] to fail!

With the shield removed, the director can now use the [Writer] to control Yang Kaixu! That's when Rusgeler needs to make his appearance!

"This is a miracle from [Justice]!"

The flames of justice enveloped Yang Kaixu, shielding him from the influence of the "writer"!

"It's time to put an end to your story!"

After losing his abilities, Yang Kaixu's physical condition was no different from that of an ordinary person.

Jiang Ran, relying on his superior physical abilities, punched through his chest!

“Actually, we didn’t have to be enemies. We come from the same place, and I know a way to reclaim divinity without killing you.”

If Jiang Ran hadn't entered Yang Kaixu's dream, and if Yang Kaixu hadn't done those things and remained the same as he was back in Tian Guangzhen, then Jiang Ran might have ultimately chosen to use the method of the Divine Revelation World to reclaim the divinity within him and spare his life.

After experiencing all that, Jiang Ran simply couldn't convince himself to leave such a huge hidden danger by his side. Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself!

Because Yang Kaixu wanted to kill him, he had to kill Yang Kaixu!

"Ahem... What do you mean by that? Are you giving me charity?"

Blood trickled from the corner of Yang Kaixu's mouth, and his vision gradually blurred.

"Since I have this opportunity, I must fight for it. I am not one of your friends, and there is no reason for me to give up my divinity!"

"I am also a Fallen God! We are competing, Jiang Ran!"

"It's normal to fail in competition... There's no such thing as a perfect ending where everyone survives. The path to godhood is red, paved with blood!"

Yang Kaixu could no longer support his body; he collapsed to the ground and closed his eyes.

"At least, although I was defeated by you in the competition, I didn't give up until the very end. I'm not a coward..."

In a daze, he seemed to see himself standing in the night, fighting with his teammates against the criminals.

Either become a god, resurrect them, and create a perfect world!

Or, they would fall on the road and become one of the countless skeletons.

Yang Kaixu only had these two choices, and that remained true from beginning to end.

A new power has appeared within Jiang Ran's body.

That was a miracle from faith!

The miracles he has already mastered include—

Core Divinity: The Wheel of Fortune

Branches of divinity: [Lingering Dream], [The Hanged Man], [Demon God], [Lovers], [Judgment], [Faith]

Other miracles: [Fate], [Water Mirror], [Freedom]

The mental strain is too severe. We must not become complacent because of a temporary victory. The director has only had one avatar defeated, while the real director is still hiding somewhere.

Once their mental energy is completely depleted and they can no longer use their shielding abilities, the director will immediately take control of them!

We must find an opportunity to completely eliminate them!

Because he cannot replenish his mental energy when it is depleted, Rusger is tasked with protecting everyone, but his own mental energy is constantly being consumed and is almost depleted!

The only solution now is for them to recover their mental strength first, and then have others take over the protection duties once Rusger's mental strength is almost exhausted.

This illusion is not over yet. First, they must find the third key. Given the amount of time that has passed, Yu Cheng should have already cleared the game by now, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

So after obtaining the third key, you should be able to leave the illusion and open the closed door to the school.

Before that, they had to retrieve Planck's body to facilitate his resurrection.

There's still a lot to do.

"Useless trash, you still died in the end! Since that's the case, why don't you let me take over your body? That way, at least I can help you kill Jiang Ran!"

In the shadows, the director cursed angrily!

His original plan was to take over Yang Kaixu's body, then further master the divinity of the entire [Wheel of Destiny] lineage, and then refine the previous body into an absolutely loyal and bizarre creature.

In this way, both he and his clone can ascend to godhood again! They will simultaneously control the two godhoods of [Wheel of Fate] and [Director]!

Now, this plan has completely fallen through!

"It's okay, I still have a chance..."

"I can fail many times, as long as I succeed once!"

He opened his notebook, about to write something, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"who?"

The director turned his head!

"finally found you."

Arceus smiled.

"Finally found me?" The director scoffed. "A rat hiding in broad daylight, does it want to be run over by a car?"

"I didn't go looking for you, but you came looking for me instead?"

“Director, you’re not a god anymore.” Arceus cracked his knuckles. “So, put away your ridiculous confidence.”

“You played chess with me before and overturned the chessboard.”

"Now let's play another game—"

"Let's see who survives!"

"Kid, such arrogance will come at a price!"

The director knows that Arceus used "Loss" to make himself lose the chance to be controlled, but that doesn't mean the director can't do anything about him!
