Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1134 Enemy... They're not even as good as enemies!

As expected of number 3.

Stepping out from the flowing starry sky and standing atop the primordial clay tablets covered with the handprints of true gods, the mermaid beauty looked down at the vast, dark purple plain below, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

According to what I learned from the Root No. 9, the earlier the selected race number, the stronger the potential and corresponding Root No. 9, but the later the awakening time will be.

The source of the Abyss Realm was just a clear little lake, while the source of the present world was a vast plain. Compared to the Abyss Realm, which was chosen as number 9, the total amount of the source of the present world, which was chosen as number 3, was truly enviable, almost three times that of the Abyss Realm itself.

If I had been able to control such a massive source when Number 1 came knocking on my door, would things be different now?
Thinking of how the once thriving world had gradually descended into the devastation of the Abyss, the mermaid beauty closed her eyes briefly. She then descended onto a silent primordial mud plate, flicked her seashell earring with her finger, and said with a smile:

"I'm about to succeed, don't you guys have anything to say?"

"..."

"I got what I wanted, and you'll all get what you want soon too. Aren't we going to celebrate together?"

"..."

"exist?"

Faced with the mermaid's invitation to communicate, the seashell earring, which was usually very talkative, did not respond at all. It was as if it had died after helping her open the door of [Yesterday's Residence], and had not made any further noise.

Fine.

Seeing the Four Pillars Gods clearly refusing to communicate, a faint look of regret flashed in the eyes of the mermaid beauty. Then, she slightly flipped her wrist and dragged a comatose True God out of the void.

O true God who wields the power of abundance... let me see.

A glint of color appeared in her azure eyes. After surveying the trajectory of the source flow on the primordial clay tablet, the mermaid beauty, carrying the unconscious true god, found a place brimming with vitality.

The power of the god of abundance should fall under the category of "prosperity" and "decline," and that should be the correct place.

After placing the Goddess of Prosperity on the purplish-black primordial clay tablet and gently shattering her power slightly, the mermaid beauty took a few steps back. Watching the [Prosperity] power gradually flow out and be accepted by the primordial clay tablet, she nodded in satisfaction. Then, she took out two more unconscious true gods.

Next are "flowers" and "unjust deaths." The former roughly falls into the categories of "flesh" and "spirit," while the latter should be in the realm of "death" and "life"...

Following a classification system of four groups and eight categories—life and death, falsehood and truth, prosperity and decline, soul and body—the mermaid woman categorized the true gods in her hands and placed them in their corresponding positions. Then, she sat down in the center of the primordial clay tablet and slowly closed her eyes.

As her consciousness sank into the primordial mud tablet, the originally chaotic source near the Source God Platform began to gradually transform from chaos into order under the guidance of various true god powers, and flowed into the purplish-black ground according to the mermaid beauty's "classification" method.

"Boom!"

With a soft popping sound like a soap bubble, the thick layer of mud, which was so dense that no true god could ever penetrate, melted away in an instant, as if it were snow under the blazing sun.

With the mermaid woman's continuous efforts, more roots began to scrape and erode the protective layer of the primordial mud tablets under the guidance of the eight powers, sinking little by little into the roots hidden at the bottom.

One day, two days... one week, two weeks...

After a full two weeks of erosion, ninety-nine percent of the thick primordial mud plate had been scraped away, leaving only an extremely thin layer. Even with the naked eye, one could faintly see the dazzling colorful light shining through from below.

However, at this very last moment before success, a dazzling stargate pierced through the boundless star realm, shining from the world of the dead all the way into the deepest part of the Source God Platform, precisely opening above the Origin Tablet.

"Coming?"

Sensing the fluctuations originating from the stargate, the mermaid opened her eyes, glanced upwards, and then smiled at Leon, who stepped out of the stargate:
"You're a little later than I expected. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is it really that hard to prepare a way to deal with me?"

No, with the combined efforts of Lord Taurus and the third-generation old man, the means to deal with you will be ready soon. The reason I arrived so late is simply to wait for you to continue weakening yourself.

After glancing at the primordial clay tablet below, which had been 99% removed, and sensing the extremely weak aura emanating from the mermaid woman, Leon did not respond. Instead, he touched his cufflinks with his fingertips.

I'm sorry...

"Don't stand up there, come down."

After smiling at Lyon, the weary-looking mermaid didn't get up to fight. Instead, she smiled and waved to him.

"Come and listen to my lecture. If nothing unexpected happens, I will teach you how to condense the color of the root into the essence of the root, and then use this to break through the 80 points of immersion. I will also teach you how to use the root to stabilize time, so that you can move freely in the old soil without being affected."

"?!?!?!"

Surprised?

Seeing the astonishment in Leon's eyes, and his loss of composure for the first time in her presence, the weary-looking mermaid couldn't help but smile smugly. "When we parted in the Abyss Realm, you asked me a question: would we be enemies when we meet again? Now I can answer that question... no."

"..."

“I want my people to live again, I want to give them the opportunity to choose their own lives… but I will never do what that person did to me, forcibly taking away someone else’s roots and using the pain of another world to make up for my regrets.”

After pointing downwards towards the source of the shimmering, multicolored light, the mermaid woman calmly said:

"I intend to immerse myself in the origins of this world and become a part of it. Once I have mastered the origins, I will actively dissolve into your origins, and the Abyss Realm will be completely integrated into the ocean of this world, just like the Tide Realm."

By then, the ocean will be three times its current size, and while your foundation won't be directly strengthened, its potential will increase by a third. This means that even if you're targeted again, you shouldn't be completely helpless.

"you……"

"Although I have many regrets in my heart, I am smarter than you think, much smarter... I am indeed unable to resist the temptation to make up for my regrets, but I am far from being blinded by the desire in my heart."

Extending a finger and circling the tip around her temple, the mermaid woman said in a calm voice:
“Taking away your roots could completely make up for my regret, but if my roots can be taken away once, they can be taken away a second time. Rather than living in constant fear of the next greater pain, I might as well place my hopes on you... After all, you are indeed a good person.”

"..."

Ah... I might not be as good as you think.

Amidst Lyon's complex emotions, the mermaid beauty extended her pinky finger towards him and said earnestly:
"Leon, I need you to make a promise to me now: after I willingly dissolve into the source of the mortal world, you must bring out the remains of my 4.35 million people in the Abyss Realm and give them a chance to choose using your source."

Whether they choose to preserve their memories and live out the rest of their lives, or prepare to forget their painful past and embrace a completely new life, you must promise them… Can you do it?

"..."

Actually... I've already brought your people out, but the method might be a little different from what you're thinking...

For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but considering that he had deliberately preserved the free will of Evangeline's people in order to maximize the effect of the mental attack, and that there was still time to change it to resurrect them, Leon nodded with a forced smile and reached out to make a pinky promise with her.

"Okay...I promise."

"Very good~"

Seeing that Leon had made a promise, the mermaid beauty breathed a slight sigh of relief, then smiled and said:
"In that case, I'll give you another gift... Would you like the Supreme Four Pillars Gods?"

"?!!!"

"My body was created by the Four Pillar Gods working together, and there must be some tricks they left behind. If I'm not mistaken, they will most likely be able to forcibly take control of my body at a critical moment."

After tapping her seashell earring with her fingers, the mermaid beauty smiled and said:
"They will not allow me to side with you. They will definitely try to control my body. Although I am dead, it will take at least two Supreme Four Pillar Gods working together to suppress my will."

So if you can defeat me next, you'll have the chance to capture the souls of two Supreme Four Pillar Gods at once, imprison them almost forever, or even throw them directly into the Root Chamber and crush them completely...

Hmm...they're probably coming soon, get ready! I'm incredibly strong!

"wait wait wait!"

Upon hearing this, Leon's eyes widened in surprise.

"You said you'd log off later, and then the Four Supreme Gods would come and take your place?!?"

"rest assured."

The mermaid beauty smiled upon hearing this, then confidently addressed Leon:

"I showed you my past, gave you the opportunity to scavenge materials in the Abyss Realm, mobilized the Cleanup Bureau to give you the motivation to deal with me, and even preserved two of the Cleanup Bureau's top Taurus Secret Technique users. Now you must be ready to create an anomaly specifically designed to target me."

With such thorough preparation, and with my guidance, even if the Four Pillars Gods were to control my body, they wouldn't be a match for you. You can have more confidence in yourself.”

"..."

"bring it on!"

After beckoning to Leon, whose lips were twitching wildly, the mermaid beauty smiled and said:

"Use everything you've prepared to use against me, and let me see what you've got!"
