Boss, I don't think I... like you that much.
I want to commit suicide...
I don't want to betray you, but I also don't want to be a murderous monster again...
I am human, and I cannot understand the actions of the Light God Society.
After killing the [Heroic Spirit], I feel I've repaid all the love I had for you.
I'm sorry, boss, it's so hard for me to live. Please don't blame me, please don't bring me back to life. I really don't want to love you anymore...
As Hera watched the words on the paper gradually blur, she gripped the paper tighter and tighter.
That most intense emotion, which Hera most wanted to forget, tore into her heart like a ferocious beast.
Guilt and sadness.
The same emotions Hera felt when Xinglan died constantly challenged her rationality.
Everything before her eyes slowly blurred, and a tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the paper.
She was slightly startled.
He stretched his hand to wipe the corner of his eye and looked at it in front of him.
So it was tears...
I never thought I could actually cry.
"Aikalen must not be resurrected."
"What?" Ye Yiqing frowned slightly, somewhat unable to believe what Hera said.
Hera turned her head, tears streaming down her expressionless face. "I said, you are not allowed to resurrect Ekaren."
"……good."
Ye Yiqing said nothing more, but silently nodded in agreement.
A chair made of flesh and blood slowly rose behind Hera, and she plopped down on it.
Hera, who was sitting, looked somewhat somber, with tears constantly streaming down her face.
“Thoth…”
"The boss is here." Thoth immediately walked to Hera's side.
A pair of large, watery eyes looked at him, and you could clearly see the fluctuations of emotion in them.
"Am I a good leader?"
"this……"
Thoth's glasses gleamed, and after a long pause, he slowly spoke.
“I don’t know what kind of leader can be considered a good leader, but in terms of you, you are not a good leader to Aikalen.”
"But more accurately, it was Aycaren who followed the wrong person."
Hera slowly lowered her head, and began to recall her past after meeting Ekaren.
It seems that... she really didn't give Aikaren anything except a scarf.
Instead of helping Aycaren do what he wanted to do, he kept asking him to do what he hated.
Knowing full well that Aikaren liked him, he never gave her any response, leaving her struggling in a game where there seemed to be no way to improve.
Perhaps, it really was I who let down Ekalen, let down this boy who clearly had infinite potential and could even become the strongest human.
The little hand unconsciously touched her belly, thinking of the others who were willing to sacrifice their lives for her, and who were also killed by her.
Hera wiped away her tears and began to reflect on whether everything she had done was truly the right thing to do.
Are humans really just pests?
At the same time, Ye Yiqing took out a small, high-tech metal ball from his pocket.
Press a button the size of a sesame seed and toss it casually on the ground.
The metal sphere rapidly expanded, becoming the size of a single cell in the blink of an eye.
Everyone except Hera focused their attention on this.
Ye Yiqing showed no sign of heartache, and quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.
A flash of cold light, and the entire metal sphere was split in two.
A timid girl was huddled in the corner of the metal sphere, looking at everyone with a fearful expression.
The girl seemed to have mental problems; she kept making strange noises and backing away.
Even when he was leaning against the wall, his legs kept pushing against the ground.
Thoth immediately recognized the girl as Mengyuan, a member of the [Godslayer] team and one of only two [Nen] ability users in the world.
Ye Yiqing showed no mercy, stepped forward, grabbed Mengyuan by the collar, and pulled her out.
Mengyuan struggled frantically, screaming incessantly, but Ye Yiqing casually tossed her to the ground.
"Who is this? So pitiful..."
[Spring] couldn't help but feel sympathy, [Winter] spoke up to explain.
"This should be the key to integration: letting her make a wish so that we can be integrated."
"However, she seems unable to communicate due to her current mental state."
Ye Yiqing looked at Mengyuan, who was like a frightened kitten, squatted down, and tried to look her in the eye.
Do you want your sister?
His voice was as gentle as a warm stone in the dead of winter, a stark contrast to his earlier rude actions.
Mengyuan paused slightly, but she couldn't shake off the fear.
Upon seeing the other party's reaction, Ye Yiqing slowly smiled with utmost gentleness. If Hera could see this at this moment, she would definitely recognize that it was exactly the same smile he had given her back in the training camp.
"As long as you do as I say, you and your sister will be together forever."
"Since your sister isn't coming back anyway, why don't you try trusting me?"
Ye Yiqing's words were extremely approachable, and Meng Yuan gradually calmed down, nodding very slightly.
"Very good, you're very obedient."
Ye Yiqing smiled slightly, as if her scheme had succeeded.
He pointed to all the Five Calamities present.
"Next, all you have to do is make a wish so that they can merge together."
Mengyuan nodded gently again, but her eyes had become somewhat dim.
There was self-blame and remorse in it.
She has mental issues, but she's not stupid. She knows what everything she's doing means.
This means that humanity may perish as a result, and that everything the [Godslayer] team has done will be in vain.
But none of that mattered as much as his younger sister.
Without my sister, none of this would mean anything.
"Come on, make a wish..."
Ye Yiqing stared intently at the other person with one black and one red eye, as if she were chanting a death knell.
Mengyuan stopped trembling and slowly stood up.
"Okay, now silently recite your wish in your heart, and be sure to fulfill it with your life."
After saying that, Ye Yiqing looked at Tot and Will, "Let's leave first, we who are not involved."
After saying that, Ye Yiqing darted out of the cave like a nimble swallow.
The moment it touches the water's surface, it gets caught in a bubble and leaves.
“Boss.” Thoth looked at Hera and saw that she was still sitting there with her head down, not moving.
Thoth shook his head and led Vera toward the cave entrance.
Similarly, upon touching the water's surface, it is enveloped by a cluster of bubbles and slowly drifts away.
"I make a wish..."
As the faint buzzing of Dream Wish echoed, a powerful force began to fill every corner, stirring all the Five Calamities present.
They unconsciously moved closer to the central dream, surrounding it, while Hera seemed oblivious, sitting at a distance.
"Integration..."
