God's Mercy (V)
"So who are you?" Li Yuebai asked, "You are no longer my brother."
He glanced at the card description of [Deep Sea Shadow] several times, and thought speechlessly: Those indescribable weird things that appeared in dreams these days might really be the fault of his brother NPC.
He had always thought that his brother NPC was cool and handsome, and even if he suspected it, he didn't completely believe it was him. In the end, it turned out to be him, using these methods on him, making him unable to defeat him even if he tried his best... cough,
Li Jianxue raised her blue eyes and stared at him.
The strange feeling became more and more severe, and it seemed that he could see a shadowy liquid like oil gradually seeping out of his body, invading the walls and the ground.
"Yuebai, what are you talking about?" Li Jianxue asked him quite confusedly.
Although he had seen some strange phenomena, Li Yuebai still said stubbornly: "What I mean is that you are actually just a monster in my brother's shell. You are no longer a human, right?"
He habitually looked into his eyes when speaking, so he could not help but feel dizzy. There were ripples in his eyes, and his usually cold and gentle face became ghostly and weird.
"...you're talking nonsense again." He stroked his face: "Yuebai, you've been too tired recently. You'll be fine after you have a good sleep...Brother has cleared all the dangers in this world for you. When you wake up, you can do whatever you want..."
"It's you who made me have those weird dreams. How could a real brother do those things to his younger brother? You look so serious, but you actually like to tease me, right?" he interrupted.
"...What dream?" Li Jianxue asked hesitantly, "Is it the one that kept you awake at night?"
"Don't play dumb with me."
"..." After a few seconds of silence, Li Jianxue just continued to stroke his face and looked at him worriedly: "Yuebai, if you have anything to say, tell your brother. Don't quarrel with your brother."
Li Yuebai knocked his hand away and said, "Who is your brother? Look at yourself."
Li Jianxue glanced at herself belatedly.
Water oozed out of the ground out of nowhere, bringing with it the scent of the ocean, and even his dry body was covered with moisture.
"Sorry, I brought this from the battlefield and it wasn't cleaned properly." He stepped back.
The moisture evaporated.
...Are you pretending so well? Li Yuebai muttered, as if he really knew nothing.
"Isn't this part of you?" Li Yuebai said, "Bringing me to this fake world, killing so many people who were not dead... This is all your conspiracy, right?"
"...A fake world?"
"What do you mean you grew up with me? I'm just your half brother, why is it set up like we're real brothers?" He complained, "If you want to lie to me, then go to a whole similar world. Speaking of which, your ability isn't some kind of illusion."
"What does a half brother mean?" Li Jianxue asked back.
"Am I not your father's illegitimate son?" Li Yuebai opened his eyes wide: "My dear brother, please stop pretending. We don't have any conflicts, right? Can you let me go back to my original world——"
He still has a lot of game tasks to complete!
The surging shadows seemed to be about to burst out, as if peeling off a false mask. The gentle and lively expression on Li Jianxue's face quickly faded, and cold mist filled the space.
Li Yuebai seemed to have returned to that dream that could not be described in words. His dizziness became more and more serious.
"You are my biological brother."
"Without the existence of others, we have always been brothers. Only belong to each other."
The [Deep Sea Shadow] in the card illustration remained motionless. Li Jianxue put her forehead against his and said, "Yuebai, do you have a fever?"
Li Yuebai fell into a complete coma.

...Why didn’t the new card activate even though he had contacted his brother NPC?
Li Yuebai fell into deep thought and came to a conclusion: according to the card description, his brother NPC was just a shell, and the real so-called Outer God should be living in his body.
This game usually activates the card by touching the card itself, but if he only touches the outer shell, it will of course not be activated successfully.
But the brother NPC not only refused to admit anything, but also kept suppressing that power. Even if he angered him again, he would just let him sleep. (……)
He probably doesn't have the ability to kill his brother NPC for the time being.
It's so uncomfortable to have new cards but be able to look at them but not use them... Even though the new cards don't seem to be the type that mortals can touch, he is really curious.
Just being exposed to a little bit of overflowing power can make him, who seems to have a certain degree of magic immunity, fall into sleep, dream, and have hallucinations. What if he faces Him directly?
Where will we arrive?
Will it drive him insane? Will it turn him into a monster?
Will he die?
...By the way, come to think of it, I haven’t had a dream like that for a long time.
Ever since he made up his mind to separate from his brother, those strange dreams no longer haunted him.
The oppressive feeling of the deep sea, the swaying shadows, the suffocating sense of occupation...
Li Yuebai thought. Li Yuebai blushed. Li Yuebai suddenly came up with a quick idea.
*
Ever since Yuebai fell into a coma that day, she has ignored him for several days.
"Don't bother me."
"Don't come within 500 meters of me."
Although he was a well-known general outside and the real head of the Li family, Li Jianxue did not have the slightest dignity in front of his only younger brother.
I don't know how to please him... No matter if I offer him rare delicacies, exotic pets, magnificent plays, or find his favorite games, I can't win his favor.
Yuebai seemed to hate him and said some incomprehensible words. Did he see some strange plot on the Internet recently? Or did someone say something to him? Is he an enemy?
Li Jianxue dragged her inexplicably heavy steps to her brother's door and stood there.
I wanted to knock on his door and ask him if he had calmed down, but I was afraid he would be upset...
It really is the belated rebellious phase, right?
He hesitated and withdrew his hand, but the door opened.
"Brother!" Li Yuebai smiled brightly: "Why are you at my door? I was just looking for you!"
"…Looking for me?"
"Brother, can you sleep with me tonight? I haven't slept with my brother for a long time." Yuebai gave him a hug.
His expression softened for a moment: "Of course."
He held him in his arms and patted his back gently: "Is it because my brother has been going to the battlefield all the time recently that he scared you... I will go out less often in the future and stay at home with you."
Anyway, some of the threats in this world have been eliminated by him.
"Okay." The younger brother answered very obediently.
If I could stay at this moment forever...
*
He saw a magnificent scene composed of countless blues.
No more chaos and depression, no more frenzy and turmoil.
The sea was very peaceful, wrapping around him softly and caressing every inch of his skin.
"Not in my dream?"
Li Yuebai felt like a swimming fish, swept by the deep blue current and roaming in the deepest seabed.
Strange... He must have been around before, but now he hasn't appeared again.
He looked around, trying to find the shadow, but found nothing.
"...Where did he go?" Li Yuebai asked in confusion.
There were tiny shadows following him, seeming to entangle his ankles, but he did not notice them.
After the god who once roamed in outer space came to this world, ancient humans tried their best to steal some of His abilities related to time, space, and destiny, forged several founding artifacts, and sealed Him.
The seal had long since broken, but He still fell into an endless sleep and never woke up.
…He had long lost the joy of exploring time and space, and only wanted to sleep lazily in the core of the planet—in the vast ocean. It was quite comfortable to sleep there.
One day, a new human being entered the so-called seal with a sword in hand. The power touched him and made him lost in the turbulence of time and space, and he could never return to his hometown.
…Then, someone called out to him continuously, day and night, using a cruel and ancient ritual.
He smelled the dampness that spread across the continent.
Some ancient humans at that time were influenced by him and mutated, and these contaminated genes were passed down and deliberately spread by people.
...these are all strange-looking things.
He will bring destruction upon them.
He decided to descend upon [the vessel] and watch the drama unfold.
Therefore, when [the container] saw his brother in a certain timeline, the god possessing it also saw the child.
[Container] burst out with unprecedented emotions. Even though it was polluted by Him, it developed an extremely strong sense of self at that time.
He also felt a little curious.
…He continued to watch.
[Container] has many enemies, and he should exterminate those humans and take back the power of the artifact.
Thanks to the efforts of the [Container] family, the world has been almost completely polluted and there is no longer any hope of recovery.
The enemies of [Container] sacrificed countless lives, just like they did tens of thousands of years ago, and used the forbidden power of the artifact to try to reverse the time and space of this world and seek help from another world.
Even the echo of fate was sacrificed...
……oops.
This is also the reason why He did not take the initiative to reclaim that part of His power. If humans rashly use His power, it will only bring tragic consequences.
Just like this, watching human beings fighting each other, killing each other, and making meaningless sacrifices is truly a never-ending drama.
Even if time and space are reversed successfully, what does it matter? Can it lead to salvation?
He felt a little bored.
…He continued to watch.
He could feel the struggle of the [Container]. The family's mission for generations, and a brother he had never met who died in the snow when he was born.
He was supposed to complete his mission.
What will he choose?
The [Container], who had always been like a family machine and followed the rules, did not hesitate at all when it came time to take action.
"But if we reverse time and space... we can see him."
Only He can hear the [Container]'s self-talk.
[Container] killed his father, betrayed him, and returned to the human camp.
The power of the artifact was not enough. He used his power to help complete the plan of reversing time and space.
In the turbulence of torn space and time, [Container] picked up the child and healed him.
So He also looked at the child.
Not in any timeline, but in the arms, with a warm touch.
The fate of this child has become confused... He can hardly see clearly.
The [Container] used up the last of his strength to send the child into that peaceful other world, and then sacrificed himself.
It's really touching...brotherhood.
When the play ended, He was not at all moved, but He had no intention of sleeping for the time being.
The timeline of this world has been reset.
And He slipped away to another world and watched the child grow up.
He was just an ordinary child, growing up peacefully.
He cursed him.
His blessing brings nightmares, madness, and death to people, while his curse brings good luck to people, turning them into unique lucky ones.
This is... the favor of God.
The shadow wrapped around his ankles and climbed up. The wet and strange touch gradually became so obvious that Li Yuebai could sense a small part of him.
His original form is almost as big as a galaxy. If you use his original form to play a prank on him, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
