Super God: There's a mischievous Xi in my head

With a flicker, Balu transformed into a thick black mist that seeped into the ground and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, he did not go directly to find the three captains—

Not to mention that the three of them were currently scattered in different places, just thinking about their unpredictable tempers made Balu shudder inwardly.

(It would be safer to bring more brothers along...)

With Balu gone, only Lufa remained sitting alone in the secret room.

The candlelight cast his shadow long and short, making him appear especially lonely in the empty room.

"Cooperation?" Lu Fa lightly traced the texture of the table with his fingertips, letting out a cold snort. "Wanting to join forces with me, Lu Fa, is not as simple as offering an olive branch."

He gazed in a certain direction in the void, a dark flame igniting in his eyes:

"However... I should indeed thank you for bringing me to this world. Once I take control of this realm—"

His voice suddenly turned cold, filled with deep-seated hatred:

"King Peel, it's time to settle our old scores."

And at this moment—

Inside a private room of an internet cafe in Juxia City.

"Go! Go now! Damn it—!" A burly man slammed his fist on the keyboard, glaring at the bright red "triple kill" notification on the screen and gritting his teeth.

Ge Xiaolun, standing beside him, quickly patted his shoulder: "Brother Fensi, don't worry, I'm still alive! We can definitely hold this high ground."

Ku Fens grinned upon hearing this, draping his thick arm over the back of Ge Xiaolun's chair: "Alright, kid, this round is up to you."

"Don't worry!" Ge Xiaolun confidently gripped the mouse. "Watch me pull off a stunning comeback!"

That's right, the two fighting side by side in the private room are Ge Xiaolun, who is on a rare vacation, and Ku Fens, who is beginning to experience modern life.

During the holiday, Ge Xiaolun decided to relax and went to his usual internet cafe to play League of Legends.

They happened to meet Ku Fens, who was experiencing the game for the first time, and the two hit it off immediately, booking a private room for two.

After a morning of fighting side by side, from initial awkward cooperation to tacit team battles, the two's friendship quickly warmed up amidst the sound of keyboard and mouse clicks.

Although Ku Fens occasionally utters a few curse words due to operational errors, Ge Xiaolun is already able to smile and pat his new friend on the shoulder:

"It's okay, just play well next time!"

Ge Xiaolun's fingers flew across the keyboard, and Garen on the screen struggled to defend the high ground under his control.

Although he ultimately collapsed, he successfully bought valuable time for the team.

"Brother Fensi! The rest is up to you!"

Kufens nodded steadily, his thick fingers gripping the mouse:

"Don't worry, watch me."

Ku Fens's eyes narrowed, and Yasuo on the screen transformed into a blue whirlwind as he executed his move.

He executed a precise forward slash that pierced through the minion wave, the sword's edge aimed directly at the enemy ADC.

Before the enemy support could react, Steel Tempest had already struck!

"Hasagai!"

Whirlwind Slash precisely knocks three enemies into the air! Without hesitation, Kufens follows up with Last Breath, Yasuo's figure weaving and shifting across the battlefield. In a flash of sword light, the enemy ADC falls first.

"Double kill!"

The support tried to retreat, but was caught up by the forward slash and killed again.

"Triple kill!"

The top laner attempted a trade, but Kufengs skillfully dodged the crucial skill with a forward slash and countered with a sword strike—

"Quadra kill!"

Ge Xiaolun slammed his fist on the table and stood up excitedly: "Brother Fensi is awesome!"

Ku Fens then loosened his grip on the mouse, grinned, and said, "Basic operation."

As teammates respawned one after another, the five players regrouped and pushed forward, finally destroying the enemy's crystal.

"Victory!"

Just as Ge Xiaolun was still basking in the joy of victory, Ku Fens suddenly frowned:

"Xiao Lun, I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now."

"Huh?" Ge Xiaolun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, okay!"

He smiled and gestured to Kufensby: "Then contact me later!"

Kufens nodded in response, revealing a rare, gentle smile:

"Okay, let's fight again next time."

As he turned around, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and his eyes sharpened—

He sensed just now that three familiar auras were rapidly approaching.

Kufens turned into a quiet alley and stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a mottled wall.

"Come out."

Before the words were finished, three figures appeared—Cook stepped out from the shadows in the corner, Balu slowly rose from the ground, and Sabin silently landed on the wall.

"team leader!"

Cook, his body completely crimson, shouted excitedly, the black markings on his chest rising and falling with his breath, making the hideous scar on his chest appear even more ferocious.

Kufens glanced at the three of them and said, "Cook, Baru, Sabin, so you've come to this world too..."

If that's the case... does that mean the general also...?

However, Kufens's eyes flashed; now that he possessed the Melting Vajra, he might not be weaker than the general...

Balu and Sabin are respectively the vice-captains of the Purple Nether Squad, representing the sin of greed, and the Gray Nether Squad, representing the sin of obsession.

Cook is a member of the Crimson Nether Squad, representing the Wrathful Sin. As for why Pazu wasn't called the vice-captain of the Crimson Nether Squad... ...

Balu said he was just conveying a message, and that two vice-captains would be enough; it was definitely not because he was afraid of Kula!

"Just say it, what do you want?" Kufens got straight to the point.

Balu stepped forward, his tone respectful yet authoritative: "The general sent us a message—it's time to go back after we've had our fun."

The air in the alley suddenly froze.

Kufens chuckled softly upon hearing this, remaining perfectly still with his arms crossed: "Go back?"

His gaze swept over the three Netherworld Demons who were standing ready, and finally settled on Balu:

What if I say no?

Cook stepped forward eagerly, his flushed face radiating sincerity:

"Captain, the brothers are all waiting for you to come back! The Crimson Nether Squad can't do without you!"

Balu and Sabin exchanged a glance and silently took a half step back, giving their Crimson Nether team comrades some space.

Kufens's eyes flickered slightly as he watched Cook's excited expression.

Those days of fighting side by side seemed to reappear before his eyes, but he quickly shook his head:

"Cook, I have now found a new path."

"Tell the general... I cannot comply."

"Captain!!!!" Cook was struck dumb by these words, staggering back half a step: "Captain! Are you going to betray the General?"

Kufens shook his head. "No, I just want to pursue my own path..."

Cook was about to say something more when Baru grabbed his shoulder and shook his head, then looked at Kufens.

"Since Captain Kufens doesn't want to rejoin the team, then so be it."

After saying that, Balu pulled Sabine and a somewhat reluctant Cook away.

Watching the two leave, Kufens's eyes held a complex expression, but he knew the general would absolutely not let the matter rest.

Kufens looked up at the birds flying in the sky.

So... true freedom...
