Chapter 127 The Final Deal
"Becoming an earthbound spirit is better than dying. I have no objection to having Mr. Karasuma die for me." Kazukage Yayoi shrugged helplessly. "After all, even if I take back all the authority, I still can't beat the world line. There's no point in resisting."
Karasuma Renya also echoed: "I have lived for a long time. Going on will only increase my suffering. If my sacrifice alone can end this nightmare, I have no reason to disagree."
"Besides, I am a human being. Challenging gods as a human being and becoming a god is something I dare not even think about, but now it has come true. I broke the rules of humans to become a god, and I can also break the rules of gods and challenge the world line."
"If I had adhered to the rules, followed the rules, and was cowardly and timid, I would have lost the ability to resist in an endless cycle. Only by constantly persisting and resisting can I create a living space for myself. External pressure will not make me surrender. Only my own giving up is the final surrender."
"I will fight to the very end, at any cost."
"This is how I've learned to survive in this endless nightmare."
After hearing the two people's speeches, Morofushi Kagemitsu fell silent. Yayoi cared less about power and status than he thought, and Karasuma Renya completely overturned all his imaginations.
Karasuma Renya even seems more like a decent person than anyone else.
This is somewhat outrageous.
"I understand, but this matter itself has nothing to do with me. Since you have reached a cooperation, I can't stop you." Zhu Fujingguang silently took a step back, his eyes looking at Kazukage Yayoi, gentle and worried.
He didn't care about Karasuma Renya. After all, Karasuma Renya was just a human being. If he wanted to become a god, he had to get the help of Kazaki Yayoi.
But Kazukage Yayoi is very important. On the one hand, he is full of gratitude and trust towards Kazukage Yayoi. After all, it was Kazukage Yayoi who pulled him back from death. On the other hand, the direction of things is completely controlled by the other party. If he does not want to hand over power and energy, Karasuma Renya will never be able to become a god.
"Don't worry, Hiro, whether we fail or succeed, you will be fine." He Jing Yayoi smiled and cut his palm, and the golden blood flowed from his palm like it was free. He held the bracelet tightly, and a warm and soft light leaked from his fingers, but it was not dazzling.
Zhu Fu Jingguang only felt a warm current flowing from his heart to his limbs, and unprecedented strength emerged from his hands. He followed his thoughts, letting the power flow through his body, and then condensed a physical body for himself.
He became a human being, a real human being.
He stared at Kazukage Yayoi in a daze, not knowing what to say.
He Jing Yayoi nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and handed the bracelet to the other party, "Hiro, I give you the power of creation bestowed by the world line. It will protect you from death and harm, and you will be healthy forever. You don't have to worry about your future life. Even if we fail, this power will bring you a stable life."
"It can heal diseases, restore wounds, and even resurrect the dead. But there is a price to pay for using this power. You must be careful."
After saying that, He Jing Yayoi withdrew his hand, but Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly took a step forward and stretched out his hand to grab it, "Wait, Yayoi. Is it really okay to hand over the power to me? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Why give up power at this time? It's as if you know you are going to die.
"Hiro, don't frown. This is a great joyous event for mankind." He Jing Yayoi patted his hand with a smile, "The power of creation conflicts with my own power. It will be troublesome for me to keep it."
"This authority will not help Mr. Karasuma in his godhood, and it may cause conflicts with other authorities. It is better for you to take it. It can protect your safety and ensure that you will not be easily strangled by the world line."
"Okay, leave here, Hiro. The aftermath of the godhood ceremony may affect you. If something happens to you, I will have protected you in vain."
"By the way, Hiro, remember to come find me. The earthbound spirit can't leave the house."
Kazukage Yayoi let go of the hand that was held by Morobushi Kagemitsu, tilted her head and waved at him, "Then, see you in the next life, Hiro."
Zhu Fu Jingguang stroked the necklace in his hand, his brows were filled with heavy clouds, and the corners of his mouth were stretched into a straight line. He seemed to have a lot to say, but the difference in status prevented him from making any suggestions.
"...I understand. I wish you good luck in martial arts."
Following these words, Morobushi Kagemitsu's expression softened, "I will come to find you, Yayoi."
"Goodbye, then."
He closed his eyes, and what was reflected in the reflection at the end was still Kazukage Yayoi's smiling face. The other person's eyes were gentle and calm, just like when they first met.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of the two people around him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked up into the distance thoughtfully, then lowered his head to hide all his expressions.
————————
"Mr. Zhufu should really see your expression right now."
Karasuma Renya sneered. The god in front of him had a handsome face, eyes that rolled like fine golden sand, and hair that was like smooth silk. All the beautiful words in the world would pale in comparison to him.
But His expression was as cold as ice and stone, without any warmth or ripples.
"You acted very well just now, even Vodka was fooled by you, even though you killed his beloved eldest brother." Thanatos was indifferent to Karasuma Renya's ridicule, "We all know what we are doing."
"Of course... When facing a child you like, you always want to show your most glorious and noble side, and I am no exception." Karasuma Renye shrugged, "I just didn't expect that the gods would do this to their believers."
"Believers? No, Hiro is my friend. My only believer is Elizabeth, and she is dead." Thanatos said meaningfully.
Karasuma Renye heard the dissatisfaction hidden in Thanatos' tone. He curled his lips and chuckled, then bowed gracefully, "Forgive me, Mr. He Jing, I didn't know your goal at the time. Miss Elizabeth obviously holds authority, and she is in the same group with you, so I could only find a way to take her away first. Of course, you don't have to worry, Miss Elizabeth will come back to you after the world restarts."
"It would be better."
Facing this temporary partner, Thanatos had no intention of chatting any more. He raised his hand and summoned his sickle, "Let's get started, Mr. Karasuma."
Seeing Thanatos getting to the point, Karasuma Renye could only shrug his shoulders. He silently took off the Sin Stone from his collar and stuffed it into his eyes. Blood dripped from his eye sockets onto his white shirt, but he didn't feel any pain at all. "Except for the Chat Green part, all the remains are in my body."
"I can make up for Chat Green's part. I devoured his soul. Although it is not as powerful as the Sin Stone, it is better than nothing."
Thanatos cut his palm, and the golden blood of God scattered around His palm. The wind rose from the soles of His feet, blowing the hems of their clothes. He stretched out his hand, "Cut your palm and hold mine."
"So simple?" Although he said this, Karasuma Renye took out the knife without hesitation and cut a wound on himself as well. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Thanatos.
In an instant, the golden divine blood wrapped around the opponent's body like tentacles, and in the next second, the ruthless spikes pierced through Karasuma Renye's body. A large amount of blood splashed into the air through the holes, and Karasuma Renye's entire body was like a blood tofu pierced by thorns, with blood flowing down his toes onto the ground.
He soon fainted from blood loss, his arms supported by Thanatos, but his head tilted uncontrollably to one side.
Thanatos continued his work expressionlessly until Karasuma Renya had become a completely dried up corpse. He then poured the divine blood into Karasuma Renya's body through the wound.
As the divine blood poured in, Karasuma Renya slowly opened his eyes.
He was about to say something, but the next second, an indescribable pain came from the place where his palms were clenched, followed by the intense pain of his soul being torn apart and reassembled. He could feel his cells bursting and his fibers being pulled. The pain had reached the limit of human beings, but there was still no end.
He subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, but the golden divine blood pulled him back domineeringly.
"You said you could hold on, Karasuma Renya. I have already poured all of the divine blood into your body. You have no way out."
Thanatos said calmly that even if Karasuma Renye showed pain, it was still too minor compared to the wear and tear of original sin. If he couldn't even persist in becoming a god, how could he last until the day of his death?
Moreover, it was not just Karasuma Renya, he himself was also suffering from the great pain of lack of divine blood. He could feel the sleepiness gradually coming over him, the loss of blood made his movements slow, and at the same time, his body felt the pain of being pricked by needles all over.
After all, this is to make a human become a god, and both he and Karasuma Renya have to pay a huge price.
"I... I can do it... I... I can do it..." Karasuma Renya panted, and the words almost came out of the tip of his tongue.
He only felt that someone was tearing his thighs apart, or burning his internal organs. His intestines fell out, his bones were cut by rusty saws, and his heart was sliced and carved.
This hurts so much, it hurts beyond human limits.
He didn't know how much time had passed, ten minutes, twenty minutes, or an hour. The pain stretched out the time, and the time scale seemed so unimportant at this moment, after all, every second seemed as long as a year.
Karasuma Renya suddenly laughed softly.
The next second, all the golden divine blood flowed into His body. He was originally held in the air by Thanatos, but now He was floating in the air like God extending a finger to His people.
Seeing that things were getting back on track, Thanatos finally breathed a sigh of relief. He squinted his eyes tiredly, and the excessive energy consumption almost made him fall asleep.
“That’s enough…” Thanatos released their clasped hands. “Go and use your power over time. I need to rest…”
"No……"
"What?" Thanatos didn't know whether he was about to faint or if Karasuma Renya spoke too softly.
"I can't say it enough."
Before Thanatos could react, Uramaru Renye quickly reached out his hand and grabbed Thanatos tightly. His smile was full of malice, but his eyes were unusually bright. He looked at Thanatos as if he was looking at a piece of fat meat or a handful of jewels. "I said it's not enough. This little bit of divine blood is not enough for me to become a god. Give me yours... all of yours!"
Thanatos immediately used his sickle to chop off Karasuma Renya's arm, but it missed. The other party came behind him at some point, and Karasuma Renya whispered in his ear: "Now I am a god."
As Karasuma Renya spoke, Thanatos felt a chill coming from behind him. Karasuma Renya cut his back with a knife. He turned around to block, but was knocked to his knees by Karasuma Renya.
Blood spurted out of Thanatos' mouth. He had passed all the divine blood to Karasuma Renya, and now he was just an ordinary person.
Karasuma Renye had no intention of stopping. He stretched out his hand and tore open Thanatos' back. The next second, Thanatos felt an irresistible huge suction coming from his back, which was about to swallow up everything in him. He immediately tried to stand up and attack and leave, but was stepped back to the ground by Karasuma Renye.
"I've given you everything... Karasuma Renya!" Thanatos tried to lift the sickle angrily, but found that he couldn't even bear the weight of the sickle.
His predicament was discovered by Karasuma Renya, who stood there with his arms folded as if watching the fun.
"I said, it's not enough. My Lord God, how could I let you live in this world after I die. How could I believe what you said? What if you lied to me? If I die, no one can kill you anymore. Is this what you are thinking?" Uramaru Renye smiled gently, and with just a little effort, he easily snatched the sickle from Thanatos' hand.
"The Grim Reaper's scythe... How many souls have you taken from this world? Now, give them all to me!"
"You..." Thanatos raised his hand with difficulty, turned around with effort and wanted to punch Karasuma Renye.
But the next second, the sickle that took the lives of so many people fell on His head without any hesitation.
Finished
Thanatos felt a chill in his heart.
——————————
Karasuma Renya stared at the sickle in his hand in a daze. In front of him was the dead body of the boy with his eyes open. The former god fell to the ground like an ordinary corpse. He asked in disbelief:
"I...I did it?"
[Notice: The identified individual named "Thanatos" has died, and all 642 souls he held have been taken back. Thank you for your hard work, Karasuma Renya. Then, the 22nd world will be restarted soon, and you are welcome to be reborn. ]
Karasuma Renya ignored the report he had heard countless times. He had a more concerned question, "So... you are from the world line?"
[Warning: Correct answer. Thanatos is a god of darkness. He maliciously broke into this world, bringing original sin and destroying the balance of the world. When he dies, the balance of this world will return to normal. This is why I need your help to correct it.]
Sure enough, when Thanatos said "world line", everything in his mind fell into place.
Thanatos accidentally broke into this world, bringing original sin to this world, destroying the balance and adding extra deaths. The world line was trapped by itself and could not take action, so it could only give up its authority and entrust him to deal with this huge trouble.
However, this is also a form of self-help for humans. Even if the world line does not intervene, humans must solve the problem of gods by themselves. Therefore, Karasuma Renya does not hate the world line for choosing him, which has brought him endless pain. He only wants to know one thing, "You will ensure that there will be no more trouble in this world, right?"
[Announcement: I am the existence of world order, and there is no reason not to protect the world. ]
[You must know that in the next life, I will no longer appear by your side, and I will take back all your authority. ]
"Okay, no problem..." Karasuma Renya didn't want to have something talking in his head every day. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, frowned and asked, "But are you sure that Thanatos is dead? He looks like... he shouldn't be such an easy god to kill?"
As He asked this question, a smile came from the original mechanical voice, as if an AI had its own emotions.
[Report: Thanatos is the god who controls the soul. In order to prevent him from fabricating and tampering with the soul data and pretending to be dead to deceive my sight, I have made a plan for this. The reason why I ordered you to kill Elizabeth is because I planted a mark in Elizabeth's soul. When Thanatos sees Elizabeth's death, he will absorb her soul to help her reincarnate. I confirm that the mark exists in this soul, and the dead person is indeed "Thanatos". ]
Have you ever considered this?
[Don't worry, you've lost all your authority and energy. Even if Thanatos is not dead, he can't escape my sight. If he really appears again, I can kill him directly.]
Karasuma Renye was stunned, "Is... is that so?"
