I'll kill you after I finish this game!

It's like a lich's casket.

However, there are exceptions. The soul residing in a relic and the soul fused with the relic are two separate entities.

In other words, if both the contractor and the artifact have souls, then even if the artifact is destroyed, the contractor will not die as long as their own soul is not destroyed.

In the original story, The Day of God's Wrath, Fujii Ren survived even after Reinhard destroyed a sacred relic, and that's why.

If there is a soul core, it means that it needs to live and die with Reiji; it doesn't need anyone other than Nep.

As for Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng, that's even more unacceptable. These are the things he's willing to risk his life to protect. How could he allow these treasures to live and die with him?

Secondly, the guillotine needs relics to nourish it; these are tangible objects that have accumulated people's thoughts and feelings, and are not limited to sacred items.

This is easy to find, and it can also be nourished and strengthened by devouring after the contract is formed.

But just as the double serpent staff pattern appeared in Razer's eyes and the Eternal Destruction Ritual within him was officially activated, and he reached out to touch the guillotine, a fair, jade-like hand suddenly grasped his hand from between his fingers and touched the guillotine together.

"Little Saint, you... damn it!!"

Lei Zhe was caught off guard by Xiao Sheng and was completely dumbfounded when someone suddenly grabbed his hand from behind. When he saw Xiao Sheng's knowing smile, Lei Zhe was furious.

Because the Eternal Destruction Ritual has already been initiated, there's no way to stop it!

At that moment, both of them heard a somewhat indistinct song, humming a hateful French-style refrain.

"Sang, sang, sang... (blood, blood, blood...)

The singing was somewhat muffled, but he could clearly hear the principles of reincarnation within Razer's body.

Although the singing was gentle, the mood it conveyed was chilling; it was the most beautiful murderous intent in the world, innocent and transparent.

A fleeting, ethereal image of a blonde girl seemed to appear before Razer with a healing smile, while the divine essence of reincarnation within him began to resonate with him.

A sincere and loving blessing carried with it a vicious curse, and a dark red shadow instantly spread to Reiji and Xiaosheng.

After a blissful feeling, I felt a chill on my neck, and my vision began to spin.

Both Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng saw the headless body that they recognized in their minds. Strangely, no blood spurted out from Bo Jingchu's smooth cut.

However, in reality, nothing bad happened to the two people with dazed eyes; at the same time, a hideous scar appeared on both of their necks.

Before Xiao You's astonished eyes, a complex and profound magic array appeared, large enough to envelop the three of them.

Looking down, the two most striking features are the two silvery snake-like patterns.

The guillotine began to dissipate into shimmering particles of light, and the little saint beside Razer did the same.

"Om-"

The array of scepter patterns, with two serpents roaring at each other, appeared behind Razer, and the scepter, engraved with the truth of the universe and the entanglement of life and death, shone brightly.

The snake, representing life, swallowed the guillotine and the light particles purified by Little Saint, allowing them to completely merge into Rai Zhe's body.

On the other side, representing death, the snake reveals Xiaoyou's fate line in its mouth, resonating with Xiaoyou herself.

"..."

In an instant, Xiao You, the only one who was conscious and able to move, also opened her eyes and lost consciousness. In her deep blue sapphire eyes, the patterns of the double serpent staff shimmered.

The girl hated death, yet she was closest to it and understood it better than anyone else, so she cherished life all the more.

The power of death transformed into jet-black energy flames that appeared on the girl's body, beginning to resonate with the power of death within Razer's body.

call out--

A fountain pen suddenly flew out of the girl's pocket. It was the fountain pen that Xiaoyou usually used for writing and communicating, but it was anything but ordinary.

In a flash of light, it transformed into a giant scythe, instantly flying to Razer's side and merging into his body as light particles.

The pen is actually a transformation of Xiaoyou's giant scythe, which she wields as a necromancer. This giant scythe is very important to Xiaoyou.

When she was alone, the girl would use a sickle as a pillow for the night.

The name "Helseidz" in Xiaoyou's name means "Hell's Giant Scythe," which shows how important this giant scythe is to Xiaoyou.

This Hellish Giant Scythe is an absolute divine artifact, far surpassing Little Saint's God-Slaying Tool in certain characteristics, possessing the power to specifically attack souls and devour souls to continuously strengthen itself.

Throughout her long years in the underworld, Xiaoyou, though she doesn't attack others proactively, possesses a formidable scythe combat skill for self-defense.

There are also strong and weak characteristics among the people of the underworld. You can tell from the fact that they can make souls into Megalo. Megalo is not only used to deal with magical girls, but it is perfectly fine to use it for war and other things.

For example, it can also be used in the pursuit and attack of Xiaoyou.

Over the long years, even Xiaoyou didn't know how many souls her scythe had devoured as nourishment.

This giant hellish scythe was given to Xiaoyou by someone she can no longer remember. Who was that person? And what did they look like?

Yu asked a question about the blurry phantom in her memory.

"excellent..."

In the pure white space, it seemed as if a joyful and happy voice could be heard. In a daze, Xiaoyou saw Lei Zhe smiling at her and reaching out his hand to her.

However, this Lei Zhe seemed more weathered and mature, quite different from the Lei Zhe she remembered.

But the girl was inexplicably certain that it was the one she longed for.

On Lei Zhe's other hand, he was also holding the hand of a beautiful young girl. The girl didn't have a chance to think much or see clearly, and her current state of consciousness didn't allow it.

While Xiaoyou was still confused and disoriented, before she could even see clearly, a gentle pull came from her waist, leading her towards Lei Zhe without resistance.

This feeling also relaxed Xiaoyou, because it felt exactly like Lei Zhe's rather forceful hug.

I felt shy, but also very at ease.

If you look closely, it is a pure white snake with a scarlet forked tongue, gently pulling the girl forward with its body.

Upon reaching the other person, the girl, trusting her beloved, extended her small hand to him.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! I also need to do some more research on those pretentious proverbs and Buddhist scriptures. My brain is about to explode from looking at all this text. Who am I? What am I looking at? What do all these densely packed words mean? I need to look them all up.

By the way, if any imaginative and chuunibyou (delusional) individuals can provide a creative-level chant, please DM me.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Rias Comes to the Door

In the dark depths of the subconscious, this is the deepest part of Razer's heart.

Nep, inside Reiji, was looking at her host, whose essence had undergone a fundamental change, with a complex expression, as she appeared as a mature and beautiful goddess.

She wore a dark and solemn evening gown, exuding a different kind of aura from Xiao Sheng's, both dignified and mysterious, making her appear somewhat dreamlike.

The goddess's body sat atop the pure white serpent's form, her graceful form entwined by its two snakes. She raised her slender, fair hand to stroke the serpent's head before her.

Two pure white snakes flicked their tongues, staring at Nep with a gaze that seemed to come from a higher dimension.

But Neptune felt no discomfort; he looked straight through the eye of the serpent before him and saw the distant beyond.

Deep within the snake's eyes, a handsome man with long, flowing hair nodded to her with a gentle smile.

"Is that so? As expected of the person I chose. It seems that I can begin my revenge soon."

Even if all that remains of this body is dust, I still cannot forget the hatred of being betrayed.

Nepdinu's pale blue eyes gleamed with a divine light like a stream of data. His gaze, devoid of joy or sorrow, swept over the other side, where two orbs of light, one yin and one yang, shone brilliantly.

Within two orbs of light of different meanings and colors, Xiao You and Xiao Sheng, who looked like infants, were curled up and fast asleep.

After taking a close look at the consciousness of the God of the Bible, a stream of law data suddenly appeared on his pale fingertips. His eyes flickered with cold light and hesitation, but he finally sighed and returned to normal.

He gently patted the pure white snake beneath him, and the two white snakes immediately understood and released Nep. They opened their mouths wide towards the light orbs of Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng, and gently swallowed the light orbs.

Suddenly, a dense stream of blue data appeared behind Nep. After the data light screen dissipated, a radiant throne appeared, reaching from the boundless sky above to the other side of Rezhe's heart below.

As if dawn had broken through the night, the patterns of data streams shimmered faintly on the enormous, system-like mechanical throne.

"What a meddlesome thing to do! It's my job to keep an eye on whether Ah Zhe is going astray. Do you, a mere cog in the machine, need to interfere?"

Seated on the throne, Nep's eyes were indifferent. Clusters of data streams transformed into something resembling a circuit board with intricate patterns, appearing before the goddess.

The thing in front of her seemed to be calculating something like a computer. Nep, with one hand supporting her fair cheek, casually raised her hand as if tuning something, like plucking the strings of a musical instrument.

"I am most satisfied with this direction of growth. Although there was a small error, it is good that the overall trend remains the same."

"I hate guys who can't take the game seriously. Cheating should be a permanent ban."

.............

The next day—a terrifying fluctuation, which no one in Chiba could ignore, emanated from the direction of Raiji's house.

The ferocious killing intent, like a soul devourer, tore everything apart, broke through the barrier set up in the home by the Holy Spirit Lolita God, and spread throughout the city. Fortunately, it only spread for a second or two before disappearing.

But within those one or two seconds, everyone in Chiba involuntarily shivered with extreme chills.

In densely populated areas, it is quite unbelievable for people to see this on each other.

It's one thing for one person to be shivering, but it seems like the entire Chiba community is shivering.

No matter how I think about it, it seems incredibly strange.

Therefore, this peculiar phenomenon was also shared online by some people.

This phenomenon is described as a bad omen, or as a possible infectious disease in Chiba, or a major earthquake.

Online trolls have dubbed this phenomenon an urban legend, and it's even made it onto television.

For those extraordinary beings, it's not just a matter of giving each other the cold shoulder.

For example, Fafnir, who was playing a game, seemed to sense that someone was about to attack him, and in a fit of rage, he transformed into a giant dragon at home.

As a result, Takiya's house was also devastated. Fortunately, Takiya was not home at the time, otherwise his life might have been in danger.

Currently, the Takiya family is working to salvage the situation.

The other dragons did the same. Thor, who was humming a song while washing dishes, crushed the dishes. Kanna, who was eating snacks, suddenly got angry and ran behind Kobayashi shouting "Mageyabakune".

Rias and Sona, who were handing out demon flyers to expand their business, were also having a hard time. They felt that Chiba was about to become a battlefield at any moment.

However, they had no time to worry about anything else now, because around noon, they and their family members were walking and chatting on the playground toward their activity room when they encountered several people that Rias did not want to see for the time being.

There were other students at the school, but suddenly they disappeared from this path. Rias, Akeno Himejima, Koneko, and everyone including Yuuto Kiba and Issei Hyoudou all looked at the two figures that had appeared in front of them with heavy expressions.

One of them was a silver-haired maid dressed in a dignified and proper maid outfit, with a cold expression. This was Rias's sister-in-law and her brother's wife—Greefia.

She also serves as a maid in the Gremory household and as the queen of the current Demon King Lucifer.

He was extremely serious about his work and kept his personal life separate from public duties. His strict demeanor forced all of Lucifer's retinue and Sirzechs himself to obey him.
