The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 182 Article 2.5
In this place that looks like a Roman temple.

There is endless darkness all around, and I can't see what is hidden in the darkness.

There was only the chair under his butt, and the girl opposite him who was wearing a loose white feather robe, had long silver hair, fair skin, and a beauty that was vaguely illusory.

How long has it been since you came here?

Maybe just a few minutes.

But in Zun Zun's senses, at least a long time had passed.

There was a silent and awkward atmosphere between the two of them. A long time had passed, but neither of them spoke.

half an hour.

As if she couldn't bear this oppression, Eris said apologetically: "Zun Zun... I'm sorry, you are dead."

Zun Zun's body trembled, but he did not speak and remained silent.

"that……"

"The goddess Eris."

“Yes, yes…?”

His sudden words and resentful tone made Eris's thin shoulders tremble.

"I say, I didn't set a flag that I couldn't, right? That should be a declaration of victory, right? Normally, if you act so cool in the story, you should be able to defeat the enemy smoothly, enjoy the cheers and be respected by your companions. This should be the usual routine, right? But why am I the one who died? There must be something wrong here!"

“Well…how should I put this?”

Eris scratched the shallow scar on her cheek with her index finger.
As if she didn't want to hurt Zun Zun, she explained carefully: "General Dong does not exist as an individual. He is the embodiment and manifestation of ice and snow. Zun Zun, your moves are indeed very powerful, but the essence of General Dong does not exist, or in other words, his essence is the entire world, so..."

"So I'm actually on my own against the whole fucking world?"

"That's right..."

Zun Zun covered his cheek in pain.

He knew it would turn out like this. In fact, when the Sword of Destiny appeared in his hand, he had a vague premonition - he would die. He just didn't expect his death to be so miserable. He had been trying to show off in front of his companions, but ended up with such a result.

One person against the whole world.

If you show off your arrogance, you are naturally seeking death.

"Wait a minute, Goddess Eris, my cheat should be the body of God, right?"

"It's the body of a goddess."

"That's not important. What's important is that I clearly have the same fate as God, but I can't do anything to General Dong. Isn't this a bit..."

"You have misunderstood, my Lord. The goddess does not control the world, but manages the world. She is equal to the world, and there is no distinction between high and low."

It turned out to be the case.

If his divine body was in its complete form, he might not have died, but who made him a juvenile? He did not expect to pay the price for his recklessness.

"I really wish my cheat was complete from the beginning. Why did it turn out like this? There is a cheat, and it is obviously the other world I like. The combination of the two should be better, but why..."

"Hug, sorry..."

Eris looked slightly apologetic.

It wasn't her fault, but she was so considerate of him. She is indeed a qualified goddess. She is much better than that idiot. If I could team up with Eris, I...

"Good! The resurrection magic has been performed! Zun Zun, you can come back now!"

Aqua's voice echoed in the empty space.

Taking it back, she was still somewhat useful.

"Wait a minute Aqua! I'm still chatting with the Goddess Eris, come back later!"

"Why are you chatting? Come back soon! I don't know if General Dong will come back. Come back to life soon, and then we'll leave here!"

Aqua urged loudly.

General Winter...

Yeah, I almost forgot about him.

Seeing Zun Zun's slightly ugly expression, Eris covered her mouth and laughed, "It's time, Zun Zun, you can be resurrected. But you must be careful next time and not be so reckless. After all, that ability is a double-edged sword."

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your help, Goddess Eris."

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."

"Don't get used to this kind of thing."

Zun Zun complained slightly.

Seeing Eris's slightly helpless expression, one could guess that Aqua, that idiot, had exercised the power of the goddess quite a bit.

Although the ones who died each time were Sato Kazuma and Tsun Tsun, a lot of applications must have been written in order to allow the two to be resurrected.

Plus, he had to clean up Aqua's mess and collect the incredible number of artifacts from all over the world...

Huh?
Thinking of this, Zun Zun stopped with his hand on the door and turned to look at the goddess Eris who was waving at him.

"Speaking of which, how is the matter with the artifact going?"

"……Eh?"

"My assistants haven't come to me recently. Do they need me to collect artifacts? If you're afraid of trouble, that's totally fine. I actually like doing that job, so..."

"No need!"

Eris refused outright.

Being too straightforward will arouse suspicion.

"what?"

"No, no... I mean, there is no need to collect artifacts recently. Zun Zun can enjoy the leisurely and boring winter with his companions."

"...Hearing you say that, I actually want to move around a bit."

The more she refused, the more suspicious Zun Zun became.

But it is probably a more difficult part. After all, Zun Zun is not always useful. For example, he caused a lot of trouble when he sneaked into the noble mansion last time.

"If you don't need it, forget it. But if you need anything, you're always welcome to come find me."

Zun Zun left a farewell word, pushed the door and left the dark space.

Eris looked at the closed door.

"I won't let you help me! I won't let you help me in the future!"

“Oh, right, Goddess Eris.” “Waaaaaa——!”

Zun Zun suddenly pushed the door open, scaring her.

"Goddess Eris?"

"What are you doing, Zun Zun, is there anything else you need?"

Eris was frightened and subconsciously spoke in Chris's tone.

My lady goddess, you have revealed your true colors again.

"It's okay. I just want to ask you, if you can contact Chris, I hope you can notify her for me. I hope to entrust her to do something."

“…Zunzun, what do you think the goddess is?”

"Sorry, sorry to bother you."

The door was closed again.

After waiting for a long time, until the door disappeared, Eris sighed helplessly and muttered softly.

"The goddess is not a mouthpiece."

the other side.

The resurrected Zun Zun slowly opened his eyes.

He was now lying on a snowy plain. Despite the protection of the HeatRing, he still felt a chill on his back... Perhaps it was because of the sweat that flowed at the moment of death that soaked his back, and the howling cold wind took away a lot of heat.

"Respect, respect!"

"Great, you're awake!"

As soon as he woke up, Huihui and Youyou rushed over to him, crying as if he was already dead... Oh, he had died before, so it was okay.

"I've been resurrected, don't worry, so...wait, Huihui, what are you doing?"

Haven't even waited to get up.

Seeing Huihui lifting up his clothes and constantly stroking his smooth and white waist and abdomen, he was very careful as if he was afraid of breaking it again.

"Your Excellency, don't you remember?"

"...You were cut in half by General Dong."

Well.

The words of Sato Kazuma and Darkness suddenly reminded him of the time when Zun Zun, who wanted to fight against everything, swung his natal sword towards General Dong.

Maybe that action made him feel hostile, so he swung the Liben sword in his hand and cut him in half.

2.5 articles of Wu Yijie version?
Paying tribute to the predecessors.

The weather in the snowfield was too cold, and Zun Zun shivered subconsciously.

"Have you finished reading Huihui? I'm so cold."

"Then let me warm you up."

She hugged him fiercely.

Seeing this, Youyou was stunned for a moment, then followed over.

"I, I'll come too!"

The effect of HeatRing is that the more this magic item is, the more heat it emits.

"I'm coming too, take me with you!"

“Kazuma, get out of here!”

Zun Zun kicked Sato Kazuma who was about to pounce on him and sent him flying, then looked at the female knight who was eager to try next to him.

"You too, Darkness. Your heavy steel armor will take away a lot of heat, so don't come near me!"

“Respect, respect… do you mean… if you want to get close to me, you have to take off all your clothes… even if it’s freezing cold, you are not allowed to complain, otherwise I will just be like a sow, posting Q messages and watching you do it…”

“…I didn’t say that.”

Darkness is as perverted as ever.

But she didn't really take off her armor. After all, as she said, it was too cold here in the snow and ice, and there were many monsters around. She didn't know if General Dong would come back...

"By the way, where's General Dong?"

"He left. After cutting Zun Zun in half, he disappeared. How should I put it... the incision was super beautiful, and because of this, it was put back together neatly, making the treatment quite easy."

Sato Kazuma covered his cheeks as he spoke.

Because he had the same experience before, except that it was not his waist or abdomen, but his neck.

"Yes, yes..."

Zun Zun subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, but perhaps because General Dong's weapon was so sharp, he did not feel any pain.

"Oh right, the Eternal Crystal...!"

"It was taken away by General Dong."

"Hey!"

"No, no, it can't be hidden at all! He seems to come here just for the Eternal Crystal. If I don't hand it over then, I will be beheaded."

Even the money-hungry Sato Kazuma said so, so it seems to be true.

"What a pity! That super rare material is worth 1 million Eris."

"…Stop talking, my heart hurts."

"What a shame! I thought I could live a stay-at-home life with nothing to do but eat, drink and have fun."

"Give up. It's good enough to keep one's life."

"Yeah yeah."

Several members of the team were chattering.

A monster like General Dong would do nothing unless he attacked the Snow Elves. Despite this, his bounty reached 2 million Eris.

Such an exceptionally high bounty indirectly shows how powerful General Dong is. It is a blessing to be able to survive his hands.

Anyway, that's it for this time.
