What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

This was undoubtedly the original plan, intended to deal with Su Yan, but unexpectedly it ended up targeting the Special Affairs Bureau.

Xinglu's gaze pierced through countless snowflakes, fixing on the old director's eyes. Her voice was slightly deep as she said, "Do you think I, and everyone else, are idiots?"

Director Xu raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know about others, but she did say you were an idiot, and I tend to believe her."

Who else could she be but Gu Yuqiu in those words?

Upon hearing this name, Xinglu's expression turned cold, and she raised her right hand, stretching it towards the sky.

A gap appeared in the dark clouds, and the starlight shone brightly, falling on the world below the clouds like the summer sun, carrying boundless heat.

Director Xu looked at her.

The wind, rain, frost, and snow no longer fell on the transparent wall, but surged towards the woman standing in the sky like a tide.

Since the rise of the new Chu, this world has once again witnessed a battle between two near-god-level powerhouses, in Tokyo.

……

……

sunset.

The world at dusk has vanished.

Su Yan held the exhausted Shen Muchan in her arms, carrying Qiu Ye Chun Hai in her right hand, and stood on the sea, gazing into the distance.

There is wind, rain, frost, snow, and starlight.

She was silent for a moment, then looked at the girl in her hand and realized that the primordial will hidden within it was accelerating time, not freezing it.

Otherwise, if she returned to the real world at this moment, the scene shouldn't be like this, and she shouldn't be unable to sense Gu Yuqiu's presence.

She stopped thinking about it and took a step forward.

With just one step, she traveled from the sea hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo to outside the battlefield, leaving Shen Muchan and Qiuye Chunhai behind and ordering them to be cared for.

Then, she glanced at the two fighting, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, and threw a punch.

In the blink of an eye.

The wind, rain, frost, and snow ceased, and the starlight in the sky suddenly dimmed.

Su Yan's figure, once illusory, became real again, now appearing in the very center of the battlefield.

She stood in front of Director Xu, grasped Xinglu's right hand, and ignored his angry gaze.

Then, she did something no one would have expected.

She grabbed Star Dew and flew towards the wall of the illusory realm, smashing it directly against it.

Stardew was stunned.

Lu Xiu was stunned.

Director Xu was stunned.

At this moment, everyone in the world whose vision could penetrate the vast snowstorm thought they were seeing things.

Su Yan never uses weapons, only her fists to fight, and with her power to forbid everything, she is almost invincible.

Today marks the first time she has used a weapon in front of the world.

This weapon is neither a sword, nor a firearm, nor a missile, but a near-godlike powerhouse standing at the peak of the fifth rank.

In a sense, this is indeed a unique weapon, worthy of her making an exception.

……

……

A soft snap.

Stardew was indeed smashed against that wall.

When the two meet, they surpass countless other things in the mortal world.

All encounters are transformed into a single sound.

Incredibly crisp.

Thrilling.

A tearing sound came from Su Yan's sleeve.

A shattering sound came from the walls of the illusory realm.

The shape of the world seemed to change accordingly. Centered on the star dew in Su Yan's hand, space showed an extremely obvious distortion, dazzling and mesmerizing.

With just this simple strike, all the rain and snow shattered, the sound like the finest porcelain being smashed to the ground.

Xinglu regained consciousness and tried to break free from Su Yan's grasp, but found she couldn't.

The next second, she was slammed against the wall of the virtual realm once again. The intense pain made her scream out in agony.

Blood flowed from her body and splattered in the wind.

Su Yan's face was already pale, and now, stained with blood, she looked even weaker.

She remained expressionless, refusing to let go, and threw the star dew forward.

Blood kept flowing.

The screams continued.

The sound of breaking continued.

……

……

A drizzle still lingered in the sky.

People stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene in the distance, so shocked that their mouths were agape, yet they couldn't utter a sound, not even noticing their clothes getting wet.

Even Lu Xiu's gaze upon Su Yan at this moment was filled with awe.

Director Xu, standing at the very front, sighed and wondered why things had come to this.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky, his expression changing slightly.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

The dark clouds dispersed.

A speck of light appeared high in the sky.

……

……

The Kingdom of God, on the throne of God.

Lin Mushi looked into the Pope's eyes, remained silent for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Even you didn't die, how could she possibly die? You must be lying to me."

The Pope was taken aback by this statement, yet also felt it was a perfectly reasonable thought.

The idea that Gu Yuqiu could not have been killed was ingrained in everyone's mind; no one believed she could have been killed.

When he decided to join the New Chu Bureau, he had mentally rehearsed the scenario countless times, and all of these scenarios were based on one premise: that Gu Yuqiu must be alive.

"But it's true."

The Pope raised a slight, self-deprecating smile as he looked at her and said, "Besides, I am already dead."

Lin Mushi sneered, feeling like she was being treated like an idiot, and said expressionlessly, "Then what are you now?"

"I am the me after I died."

The Pope remained calm, turned his back to the throne and looked out at the dark sea, and said, "Death is not the end. Before the universe enters complete annihilation, life must have a place to return to, and that is here."

Lin Mushi said impatiently, "Speak human language."

The Pope frowned, seemingly finding it hard to accept being reprimanded like that, and said softly, "I am now just a ghost, under your control. This is me after death, do you understand?"

Lin Mushi suddenly fell silent.

She understood the other meaning behind those words.

"Yes."

Knowing she had guessed what he was about to say, the Pope said earnestly, "As long as you do nothing and watch her die, she will be yours forever."

Chapter 174: Chapter Twenty-Two - The New God

Without any hesitation, and without even listening to the Pope's last words, Lin Mushi said directly, "I don't want her to die."

The Pope was somewhat surprised. He turned to look at Lin Mushi and looked very carefully into her eyes, finding no trace of hypocrisy in them.

He asked earnestly, "May I know why you saved Gu Yuqiu?"

"It's not friendship, it's not love, and it's not any other nonsense."

Lin Mushi replied earnestly, "She saved me, so of course I have to save her too."

The Pope was stunned.

Before hearing the answer, he had many guesses, which were also the directions most people would consider.

For example, friendship.

For example, love.

Or, for example, more complex things that are difficult to articulate, things that sound more powerful than a single sentence.

However, when he put himself in that situation, he realized that this made the most sense and was far more grounded than any emotional impulse.

"I was wrong."

The Pope sighed softly, then looked at Lin Mushi and smiled, nodding as he said, "You're not entirely useless; you certainly have reasons why she might like you..."

Lin Mushi interrupted him directly, saying, "I'm not answering your question to listen to your nonsense; I want you to tell me how to save her!"

If she hadn't looked around and found herself alone in the Kingdom of God, completely unaware of her current state, how could she have spoken so much with the Pope?

"If you utter another single word of nonsense, I guarantee I'll make you suffer forever, until the world ends!"
