Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1130 Resistance and Classical Threat

It's finally resolved...

Watching the Cleanup Bureau headquarters, unable to resist the pull of the whirlpool any longer, crash into the sea, the pale-faced mermaid woman couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

With her hands, almost transparent from exhaustion, behind her back, the mermaid beauty plunged into the ocean current and swam toward the sinking Cleanup Bureau headquarters, ready to claim her spoils.

But the moment she entered the water, the Cleanup Bureau headquarters, which had been spinning with the eddies, suddenly froze, and the seawater within a radius of dozens of miles also froze, with a large amount of scarlet and beautiful turbid red spreading out in the seawater... and this seemed to be just the beginning.

Under the slightly surprised gaze of the mermaid beauty, more than ten masked and speechless shrouded holy remains, several rings of liquid gold forming a circular river, a purple evil moon shining brightly alongside the sun through the clouds, and a large number of sobbing, embracing, severed-armed dolls...

A large number of bizarre-looking objects, some tangible and some intangible, carrying a chilling sense of danger, locked onto her almost simultaneously.

The Cleanup Bureau headquarters, which seemed to have lost its ability to resist after being cleansed by the Gate of Death, also found its new position. With its tail pointing in her direction, it transmitted a terrifying gravity that could almost crush charcoal into diamonds, instantly pressing her down so that she could not move.

So it's not that there's absolutely no way to resist the Death Realm, but rather that they deliberately let me in to ambush and kill me?
Feeling the dual erosion targeting her body and soul, the mermaid beauty, whose only movement was her eyeballs, revealed a look of understanding, and then a faint blush appeared on her lips.

wrong!

Looking at the mermaid beauty's slightly parted lips, the virgin director who was approaching amidst the turbid red sea of ​​blood was slightly startled and instinctively prepared to retreat.

However, firstly, his soul had just been pulled by the rules of the Death Realm and had not yet been fully synchronized with his body; secondly, the old injuries from when he brought back [Lifespan] had not yet healed, so his reaction was ultimately a step too slow.

"puff."

With a gentle whistle, the mermaid beauty blew lightly, and the sea of ​​blood that stretched for dozens of miles was instantly dispersed by the colorful light. The Gemini directors, who had mixed in with the sea and were about to get close, only had time to raise their arms to block before they were swept away by the turbulent currents mixed with the storm and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The moment the virgin director disappeared, the mermaid beauty who had blown away the sea of ​​blood with a single breath also vanished from the spot.

As if it could move infinitely across the entire ocean, the figure, gilded with iridescent light, flashed hundreds of times in an instant, carving out nearly a thousand crisscrossing cuts in the impregnable golden river, finding and shattering the sacred remains hidden within it.

The evil moon, which pierced through the clouds and cast a curtain of light, was also pulled away by the mermaid woman's hand from afar and sank into the deep sea in the sudden burst of vortex. The weeping, one-armed dolls behind her could not catch up at all and were left behind by her incredible speed, which seemed to transcend time, so that they could not even be seen.

"I have already said that resistance is futile."

With a leisurely stroll, she pushed aside the golden river around her, placed her shimmering hand on the shoulder of the Taurus director, and said calmly:

"Your strength is only at the level of ordinary pillar gods. Even with the enhancement of those strange props and secret techniques, you can only barely hold off the four pillar gods. But in front of me, the four pillar gods didn't even have a chance to make a move."

"Your Excellency Taurus, the remaining directors have done their best. Rather than continuing this dragging on, why not stop doing unnecessary things and simply hand over the captured true gods to me? What do you say?"

Not really.

After struggling a couple of times, he found that both his body and soul were firmly locked in place by the hand on his shoulder, leaving him no room to struggle at all. After glancing at the mermaid beauty, the Taurus director simply closed his eyes without saying a word.

When you brought the Tidal Realm back to the real world and then broke through the Dream Realm alone, Aquarius... not the current Aquarius Leon, but the former Aquarius who went to the Watcher's Palace, had already given a warning through the Watcher's Palace: if you got your way, the entire real world would suffer an unprecedented devastation.

Although the ex-Aquarius did a lot of bad things, he would never lie about such things. So no matter what you want to do, our Cleanup Bureau has only one answer: as for the result of resisting you... it's nothing more than death!

Fine.

Seeing that the Taurus director's expression remained unwavering, and he simply closed his eyes and awaited death, the mermaid beauty couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. Then, she placed her palm down on the Taurus director's shoulder and pushed her battered soul out of his body.

I don't like death, but you guys are just too much trouble, don't blame me.

After nodding apologetically to the soul that had reopened its eyes and was coldly staring at it, the mermaid woman exerted a slight force with her right hand, directly pushing the Taurus director's soul towards the entrance to the realm of the dead, which was not yet closed.

"Joan of Arc!"

With a furious shout, the Capricorn director, whose face and body were covered with strange clockwork patterns, suddenly appeared between the two, stepping back and reaching out to grab the mermaid woman's arm where it had been just seconds before.

At the same time, time around the mermaid was rapidly stripped away and layered, revealing countless overlapping and indistinguishable blurry figures. Among them, the wrist of the mermaid who had grabbed the soul of the Taurus director and was about to send him to the realm of death was caught by him.

"Let go!"

"I'm afraid not."

The unique iridescent light of the Root Color flashed once again. As a certain mermaid from the "past" changed her movements and gently stroked the Capricorn Director's back, the clockwork patterns all over the Capricorn Director's body reversed and then shattered with a crash, causing him to retreat back to his original position.

The mermaid woman's figure, which had been peeled away and layered by the abnormal object, reunited with the return to normal time. She then grabbed the clock face pattern she had taken from the Capricorn director's back and yanked it counterclockwise.

Is this... me getting younger?!
Looking at his suddenly smooth skin and feeling the long-lost youth and vitality in his body, before the Capricorn director could even be surprised, he saw the mermaid beauty's fingers touch the clock face and turn it counterclockwise a second time.

Click!
As the mermaid beauty gently flicked her scalded, pale fingertips, the Capricorn director's astonishment instantly turned into bewilderment, which quickly regressed into innocence and ignorance. His once towering figure of nearly 1.9 meters shrank to the length of an arm.

The once robust frame became thin and weak, the tight and firm muscles returned to their plump state, and the freckled, sallow skin became smooth and delicate... After staring at the strange scene around him for a while with his dark, round eyes, the Capricorn director, who had regressed into an infant, pouted and burst into tears.

You should go too.

She raised her hand to gather the Capricorn director's fallen clothes, placed them between the Taurus director's arms, then bent down and put the young Capricorn director inside. She then gave them a slight push towards the Death Realm, watching them fall into the Yellow Springs and drift into the depths of the Death Realm.

There shouldn't be any problems this time.

After waiting quietly outside the Cleanup Bureau's headquarters for a while, and confirming that no one else would come out to attack her, the mermaid beauty felt relieved and reached out to touch the outer wall of the meteorite, slowly "merging" into it, and then walked all the way to the core of the headquarters.

However, when she followed the fluctuations of power, passed through the deserted headquarters of the Cleanup Bureau, and arrived at the hollowed-out spherical plaza in the very center of the meteorite, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

The true gods who were captured by Leon from the Source God Platform were not killed, but they were all bound together in groups of two or three, their auras intertwined and swirling, exuding a strange and inextricable feeling.

After carefully examining the powers emanating from these true gods, the mermaid woman's lips involuntarily parted, and then a look of annoyance appeared on her face.

That was ruthless... I underestimated them; these cleanup crew members are incredibly vicious...

Clinging to her last hope, she checked the powers of the true gods one by one and found that not a single one had escaped. The mermaid beauty couldn't help but rub her temples.

During the days of confrontation between himself and the Cleansing Bureau, the gods of abundance and desolation, medicine and plague, rain and drought... these true gods with opposing powers have had their powers intertwined using extremely sophisticated methods. If the current situation continues, these true gods will still be complete true gods, but their power will be somewhat affected when they use their powers, resulting in a partial weakening of their strength, but it will not affect the normal operation of the mortal world.

However, if one forcibly separates them, these conflicting powers will break apart and remain within each other's powers. In the end, one will only have two "blank" true gods whose powers have been completely depleted, which will be unable to break through the primordial clay tablets.

So... although I don't know what I want these true gods for, they've still decided to die rather than leave me anything? These past few days, they've been risking huge casualties to stall me, all to buy Taurus time so they can tamper with the powers of these true gods?

Recalling the fierce look in the eyes of the Taurus director when she sent him to the realm of death, a look that seemed to say, "We may have lost, but you won't win either," the mermaid beauty took a deep breath and then raised her hand to touch the pendant on her ear.

"See! See! What did I tell you?"

Once the gag was released, the seashell-shaped earring, with its jagged edges, seemed to mock the situation with glee:
"I told you to go all out before, but you didn't listen. What about now?"

I told you back then, once you seize the source of this world, these people are all going to die anyway. You could have just killed them beforehand and been done with it. But you insisted on keeping them alive… Okay, I won't say anymore! Don't cover my mouth!

After twisting her body a couple of times to avoid the swirling current, the seashell earring, knowing the mermaid woman wanted a solution, replied in rapid succession:
"These true gods have been abolished. You only have two choices now: either kill all these true gods and wait for hundreds or thousands of years for new true gods with corresponding powers to be born, or go directly to the realm of death."

"The world of death?"

The mermaid beauty hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned and said:

"That unusual object crafted by a pillar god and nearly forty true gods? A weapon capable of directly resurrecting the dead?"

"Correct."

The seashell earring nodded and said:
"Although these true gods have been 'destroyed,' they can still squeeze out some power if we make do with them."

Add to that the power extracted from the gun in the Realm of Death, and the beings with power you captured in the Dream Realm, Heavenly Mountain, and the Abyss, and that's enough for you to break through the primordial slabs and descend into the source to seize the source of this world.

Go to the realm of the dead...

The mermaid beauty hesitated for a moment, then decisively shook her head and said:

"No, I don't want to do that."

"???"

The seashell earring paused slightly upon hearing this, then seemed to realize something, and said incredulously:

"You want to keep that anomaly that resurrects the dead, and then resurrect the Cleaners you killed during this time? Even now, you still want to hold back? You're not prepared to seize all of the Root?"

"I didn't mean to hold back, it was just unnecessary."

The mermaid beauty answered calmly:

"My Abyss Realm is number 9, and the human world is number 3. This world ranks much higher than my Abyss Realm, so it is larger in area and contains more abundant resources."

"Taking only half of the source is enough for me. I only want to resurrect my people and the world; there's no need to exterminate them all."

So you're waiting for those sea creatures to slowly relocate, and you're still unwilling to take decisive action against the Cleanup Bureau? You... are naive!
What's the difference between these two results?

Upon discovering that the mermaid beauty seemed to genuinely intend to do so, some of the shell earrings, feeling a sense of "disappointment," couldn't help but mock her:

"Even after you take away half of the source, this world will still shrink drastically, with half of it becoming a barren wasteland like the Underworld. The population of the present world will also decrease significantly. You will still be the most hated enemy of all living beings in this world, including the sea creatures."

Moreover, you've seen the potential of the God of Cookery. You've done such outrageous things to him and his world. You don't expect him to just let it go and not cause you any trouble in the Underworld, do you?
Furthermore, you've seen how troublesome these Cleanup Bureau board members are. Now that you've let them go and given them a chance to be resurrected, do you think they'll thank you in the future, or will they go to the Underworld to reclaim the Root that you took from them?

"That's for later."

After recalling Lyon's expression and appearance, the mermaid beauty pursed her lips slightly and then spoke:

“I know exactly what I’m doing; all you need to do is help.”

"Didn't I already point out a solution to you?"

"I already said I don't want to do that."

Reaching out and pinching the seashell earring, the mermaid beauty demanded with an air of self-righteousness:
"You need to give me a few more ideas."

No... how many? There aren't any!
Seashell earring airway:

"Don't go too far! We just can't break through the Watcher's Palace and need your help to deal with humans and the God of Food! You're treating us like..."

"I'm sorry, although you are my allies, you don't seem to have the right to refuse my proposal."

"???"

You don't think that I didn't send Leon to the Ring of Time to avoid your ambush simply because I couldn't bear to, do you?

After interrupting the seashell earring, the mermaid woman pulled it up, glanced sideways at the slightly reddened seashell earring, and then threatened:

“Give me another way, or I will go to the Underworld to find the God of Food, and then teach him how to activate the Root, how to condense the color of the Root into the essence of the Root, and even teach him how to use the Root to stabilize time, and then give him all the Roots that you returned to me.”

"?!!!"

"My dear allies, you'd better obediently help me out and use your brains to think of any other way to break the original clay tablet of the Open Source Altar."

After flicking her dumbfounded seashell earring with her finger, the mermaid beauty asked with a smile:
"You wouldn't want to see a God of Food who can traverse time, slaughter your way from the past to the future, and crush you as easily as crushing ants, would you?"

　Two-in-one... Or 2... I did neck exercises more than ten times in two days, and then set an alarm to get up and turn around every half hour. My neck seems to have come back to life a little...
