Players’ NPC daddy

It was Nidhogg, who was like the inside and outside of Vidoflnir.

"I will protect you."

"You're so reliable, but..." Amaterasu blinked. She felt a heavy pressure. This was probably how Blaze felt in the past, an oversized woman.

"He has a hard time, too. I will stop making fun of him for his messy relationships with women."

"There's no need to be shy about this; it's part of my enjoyment."

"Eh~"

Amaterasu folded her hands on her belly and appeared among the people with an elegant demeanor. Her posture naturally made people make way for her.

People were amazed by Amaterasu's beauty, and thought that if the feathered serpent returned, she would be as beautiful as this. She would raise her chin to let them admire her when they praised her. Sometimes, when a child said that the feathered serpent was different from what he imagined, she would smile back.

In this way, Amaterasu walked to the front of the quadrilateral pyramid, and the moment she stepped onto the steps, there was no turning back.

clatter--

Amaterasu walked up without hesitation or looking back.

That girl never disappoints anyone and never is late. All she has to do is do what she can and then, under the spotlight of everyone...ha.

As the leader of Turan City, Weimark stood on the top of the quadrilateral pyramid wearing a night leopard fur. He exchanged glances with the princess, and his broad hands clenched nervously.

This was different from the plan. Originally, they were supposed to wait until the Sun Robe was found before starting the ceremony of the return of the Quetzalcoatl.

After all, even if the Sun Robe was brought back, the ceremony would not begin immediately. Every ceremony in the past required several days of preparation, but now it only took less than two days.

The reason for such a hasty start is because of the underground gods.

They didn't even give the order to start the ceremony. They just showed up and slowly walked towards the quadrilateral pyramid. People subconsciously gathered towards the quadrilateral pyramid.

After countless years of sacrificial ceremonies, people are familiar with the sacrificial process. The appearance of the underground gods is the signal to start. Now, even if he, the leader of Turan City, says no, the ceremony will not stop.

The huge brazier was ignited with a raging fire, which made the faces of the underground gods surrounding it red, and the left hummingbird stood in front of the brazier to welcome Amaterasu.

Amaterasu approached slowly and calmly, and she felt the heat coming from the brazier.

The temperature of the flame is nothing compared to that of the sun, and burning the sun god to death with fire would make people who hear it think it is some strange little language.

But the flames in this brazier can do that.

Amaterasu had no evidence, but as a god, she could sense the power in the brazier. Flames would kill a god, and gods would be reborn in flames, which was the meaning of the existence of this brazier.

It is what is bound to happen in the future that determines the capabilities of the brazier in the present and the past.

The gods gathered around the fire pot, waiting for the god to offer the sacrifice.

"You guys are really good at scheming. You specifically chose the time when the stranger is not around." Amaterasu glanced at the left hummingbird. This was the dangerous smell she smelled.

The strangers are gone. The biggest weakness of the strangers is that they cannot stay here forever. Although there is a so-called time difference between the strangers, there will always be a large number of strangers visiting this world, but it is different within the scope of a guild.

Foreigners who gathered into a guild often had highly unified schedules, especially large guilds like the Fairy Kingdom that were very united and good at teamwork. Unless there were special circumstances and someone was left behind to guard, once they left, no one would be left.

Perhaps in two days, the Fairy Kingdom will complete the adjustment and there will be people active here all the time, but the ceremony precisely cuts off the first day when the Fairy Kingdom has just arrived and has not yet made adjustments.

"After all, I am the God of War. Even if I don't have divine power, I know that opportunity is not to be missed and time is running out. Moreover, I have enough vision to identify a strong warrior." Zuo Fengniao was handsome and resolute, but unfortunately the light from the burning brazier behind him cast his face into shadow.

Amaterasu couldn't help but sigh. Left Hummingbird has the basic qualities to become a tough villain, which is that she never underestimates strangers.

Chapter 1373 No Sun, but No Dark Night of the Soul

Amaterasu waved her hand and asked Wemak to lead the humans down. When only the gods were on the top of the quadrilateral pyramid, she got straight to the point.

"I think we don't need to hide anything anymore." Amaterasu changed her dignified posture, lifted her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and then crossed her arms across her chest.

"Tell me what you want to do. Although I have already guessed it, it is still my imagination, not your own admission."

"Admit what?" Zuo Fengniao turned his head away in confusion, but there was a cold smile on his face.

"Admit that we want to punish humans because they no longer sing our praises? Or admit that we intend to let the Quetzalcoatl leap into the flames and transform into the sun of the Fifth Sun Age - Tonatiuh?"

"There's nothing wrong with admitting this. We've never hidden it."

Amaterasu clicked her tongue; she knew this would happen.

The best conspiracy is no conspiracy, and the best strategy is no strategy. The underground gods led by Zuo Hummingbird did nothing but watched and did not even add fuel to the flames.

They just watched Quetzalcoatl self-destruct step by step. No, they didn't just watch, they also suppressed the smiles on their faces and sang and danced silently.

"Your plan will not succeed. As long as Blaze brings back the Sun Robe, I can become the new sun of this world, and Quetzalcoatl won't have to jump into the fire pit."

"That's right, but you don't have a sun coat." The left hummingbird made way, and the heat waves caused by the blazing flames lifted Amaterasu's hair.

"Then there is only one way for you to help the world and Quetzalcoatl. That is to jump into this flame and transform into Tonatiuh, the sun god."

"If you're lucky, you might be able to just complete the reincarnation of existence like that defiler, while your will remains your own."

Amaterasu took a step towards the brazier, and she saw anticipation in the eyes of the gods.

Yes, whoever jumped into this fire pit and turned into the sun god Tonatiuh, they could use it to destroy Quetzalcoatl.

"How much do you hate Quetzalcoatl that such an important mission as saving the world has been delayed until now." Amaterasu sighed softly.

It can be said that the left hummingbird, who had almost answered every question, closed his mouth, but his smile became stiff and emotionless.

"and many more!"

The loud shout made everyone turn their heads at the same time, except Amaterasu, who looked up and sighed helplessly. The precious first "wait" was thus snatched away by someone else.

It was a hooded man, and although he hid his features, all beings could recognize his identity.

Quetzalcoatl appeared here. He stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, facing everyone's surprised gazes and walked towards the quadrilateral pyramid.

The gods could easily recognize Quetzalcoatl because the rejection and disgust they felt came from the heart, and humans could also easily recognize him.

The humans were therefore silent, staring in shock at the feathered serpent that was hiding their features.

"You finally showed up." Left Hummingbird raised his voice so that everyone could hear, "Brother, you ignored the prayers of mankind, listened to the wailing of mankind in the doomsday caused by you, and hid here for countless years, and then pushed a little girl out to take the responsibility for you."

"Now you finally come to your senses and want to make up for your mistakes?"

The left hummingbird's words caused an uproar in the crowd. This was a rather shocking truth.

What they want to destroy is not only Quetzalcoatl, but also everything related to Quetzalcoatl.

Is this slander? No, they are just explaining one thing fairly without any personal feelings.

Amaterasu clenched her fists, her face gloomy, but Quetzalcoatl did not react excitedly. He lifted his hood, revealing his face covered with scaly scars, and admitted the matter to the humans under the quadrilateral pyramid.

"Yes, he told the truth. It was me who plunged the Fourth Era into darkness. It was me who hid in Turan City and wallowed in self-pity. It was me who listened to your suffering and prayers but hid and dared not come out."

"You should be living a happy life under my care, but now you are suffering. This is all my fault. I am incapable of helping you. After all, I am not the Sun God."

"But today is the day that I return as I promised, to bring you light and prosperity."

"You will be happy. This is what you deserve because you have not succumbed to this darkness and have always lived a noble life."

Quetzalcoatl's words made the world quiet, and people looked at Quetzalcoatl.

That sounded like a confession of guilt, an admission of an unforgivable sin.

Logically, people should be angry. The god who promised them prosperity has always been there. Watching them suffer and arousing public outrage and abuse may be the purpose of Left Hummingbird.

But people just looked at the feathered serpent quietly, until whispers were heard after a while.

That's not what the left hummingbird wants to hear.

"Look at Quetzalcoatl's face. He should have been more beautiful than the goddess, but he became like this in order to shine on us."

"No wonder we were able to hold on. It turns out the Quetzalcoatl has always been by our side and has never left."

……

Amaterasu smiled helplessly. Is human’s reaction strange?

This is not surprising, because only such humans can survive countless years in the apocalyptic darkness without losing their humanity.

This is a world without the sun, so dark and empty, but the people living in it have never experienced the dark night of the soul.

They have never been confused, never suffered, and they live strong.

Even without the sun, their souls will not be lost, for they know that the return of the Quetzalcoatl will bring prosperity.

But has the Quetzalcoatl really left to the point where humans no longer know what it looks like? Look up, the Quetzalcoatl is always in the sky, its beautiful scales always shining on the earth and maintaining human survival.

Quetzalcoatl never left; this wasn't a difficult answer to guess.

Cruel nature will eliminate the weak, doomsday will eliminate kind people, and what will remain in the endless darkness are the humans who pursue that little bit of light.

The hummingbird on the left has a blank expression, it is the dark night of the human soul, but the feathered serpent has already been deeply trapped in it.

The brighter humans appear, the more Quetzalcoatl will hide in darkness because of its own guilt and torture.

The last dark place where Quetzalcoatl can hide is death.

Humans cheered from the bottom of their hearts because the legendary feathered serpent had returned, as if as long as the feathered serpent returned, it didn't matter whether the sun existed or not. But they couldn't see that the feathered serpent was slowly walking towards the brazier.

boom--

A figure dropped from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, interrupting the ceremony.

"finally reached."

Chapter 1374 The Rabbit is Coming to Steal the Sun

In a dark place, Smoke Mirror held an obsidian mirror and looked at the city of Turan from afar through the mirror.

When Quetzalcoatl revealed himself before the humans and confessed his sins, she couldn't help but laugh and sighed sincerely.

“How terrible~”

What makes people afraid of Quetzalcoatl is never his power, but his heart. It is not that his heart is born flawless, but Quetzalcoatl makes his heart so clean.

His ego is so strong that he can do anything and do anything well for his own aesthetics and values.

Although he is not omniscient and omnipotent, he can act as if he is omniscient and omnipotent.

The underground gods cannot destroy Quetzalcoatl. Even Quetzalcoatl's confession of sins today is not due to the frame-up of the underground gods, but out of Quetzalcoatl's personal will. Even Quetzalcoatl's decision to step into the flames and burn himself would be Quetzalcoatl's own decision.

Any conspiracy placed on Quetzalcoatl will look like a self-entertaining spiritual victory in the end, saying that everything that Quetzalcoatl encountered was its own conspiracy, which will then attract the ridicule of others.

The only thing that can temporarily defeat Quetzalcoatl is a power that surpasses Quetzalcoatl.

The underground gods once wanted to unite and use absolute power to destroy the Fourth Sun Era. At that time, they longed for a true victory and wanted the Quetzalcoatl to be defeated by them. However, now that the gods are no longer glorious and the situation is out of control, they no longer care about so much. A spiritual victory is also a victory.

"It's your turn." Smoky Mirror murmured, stroking the obsidian mirror.

Blaze fell from the sky, wrapped in heavy black armor, and landed on the ground like a meteorite. He waved away the smoke and walked slowly towards him.

Just as people knew about Amaterasu, they also knew about Blaze and knew that Blaze was out looking for the Sun Clothes.

"He didn't get the Sun Robe, and there is still no sun in this world. We still need a Sun God to be born." Zuo Fengniao said calmly, as if he had expected it.

"Yeah, I didn't find it." Blaze dusted off his armor and walked a few steps to the bottom of the quadrilateral pyramid. Instead of going up, he just raised his head and looked at the Quetzalcoatl at the bottom.

Quetzalcoatl slowly turned around and looked at Blaze.

"You are here. I knew you would come. How could you be absent?" Quetzalcoatl untied his hood and looked down at Blaze with his arms outstretched. "You are here to stop the ceremony. What reason do you have to stop it?"

"Have you found a sacrifice that can replace the sun? Will this world no longer need sacrifices in the future? I can repent in other ways!"

"I still believe that the humans here have the choice to leave. Sacrificing and repenting is just my self-satisfaction!"

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Smoke Mirror's forehead. She felt something was wrong. Quetzalcoatl had become so psychopathic that he had calculated and simulated what Blaze might say when trying to stop him.

According to Quetzalcoatl's behavioral logic, he would not hesitate once he made a decision. The fact that he is still standing here only means that the result after computational simulation is still a rejection.

Then the moral blackmail plan will be useless.

Amaterasu's idea is completely opposite to that of the smoke mirror. She believes that Quetzalcoatl is equivalent to giving Blaze a judgment question. Whether it is a check mark or a cross, it is the correct answer. Blaze just needs to choose one at random.

Blaze raised his hand and pointed at Amaterasu.

"I'm here to take her away. I don't want her to leave me."

"Aha!?"

Be it the Smoky Mirror, the Quetzalcoatl, or even Amaterasu, they all showed surprised expressions.

For Amaterasu, Blaze drew a middle finger as the answer to the question given by Quetzalcoatl, where either a check mark or a cross was the correct answer.

As for Smoky Mirror, Blaze was a blatant betrayal and didn't say a word of what he promised to say.
