I'll kill you after I finish this game!

And they began to carefully plan the horror drama script with Lei Zhe as the mastermind behind the scenes, even if Mary hated what Mercury Serpent did, it didn't matter, everything was for the happiness of the goddess.

Unless Naraka, the source of all evil, is eliminated, everything the Mercury Serpent desires will not be fulfilled, and Mary will never attain the happiness she deserves.

Even if it takes countless reincarnations, his Mercury Serpent will still reach the point where he can bring a happy ending to the goddess!

A brand new horror scenario, titled The Day of Divine Wrath, is gradually taking shape under the planning of two supreme serpent deities.

This time, the purpose is not the love story of Mary, but a script that was created to find a way to fight against Narakuka.

Of course, aside from Mercury and Razer, the purpose of this plan, ostensibly to cover up the fact that the goddess was seated, was to actually achieve the true objective, a truth known only to the two of them.

"How come you have so many bizarre scripts!?"

Mercury Serpent looked at the world bubble that Lei Zhe had casually created, both amused and exasperated, as it depicted the life stories of chosen ones, serving as a reference for him.

Mercury feels that the unknown created by his best friend is quite good, and as a fellow overlord god, Rai Zhe is more versatile than him or any other overlord god in history.

"Stop talking nonsense. You can choose the direction Mary takes in your development. The final outcome of the script can remain the same. Anyway, you can save your Eternal Return."

Lei Zhe rolled his eyes at Mercury Serpent with disdain. He didn't really like or excel at being a behind-the-scenes schemer. Planning a script with Mercury Serpent required them to first and foremost share the same "interesting" values.

If possible, Reiji would like to raise Mary to be a goddess like Madoka, who possesses both compassion and majesty.

As the Lord of the Seat, he can't always be protected like a mascot. Although his and Mercury Serpent's main goal is to deal with Narakuka, he also needs to make a good plan for Mary's training.

"Emmmm, let's go with this script then."

Mercury Serpent picked out a script as if choosing vegetables, and combined it with its own script, The Day of Divine Wrath.

Mary is still pure now, and it is only due to environmental factors that she was reborn.

Now that Mary is a blank slate, it's anyone's guess what kind of tai chi will be achieved under the planning of Mercury and Reiji.

Both Mercury and Reiji were very curious about this.

------

The script was set up, temporarily isolating Mary's singularity outside the world's timeline, and the Mercury Serpent initiated the first Eternal Return.

Then they began setting up the Mystic Source with Rezer. A good stage play was to be performed by Mercury as the director and Rezer as the assistant director, and they began to perform the Day of God's Wrath.

Time was passing by rapidly. For the two domineering gods high in the heavens, the passage of time meant nothing to them. But for the ordinary people living under the rule of the Fourth Heaven, the happy remained happy, and the unhappy remained unhappy.

Those who are unaware of the truth of the world are living in their own unique cycle of life, because this is the beginning of the first eternal cycle of reincarnation.

If you don't work hard in this life, your life will always repeat the same cycle until eternity, forever frozen in the script of fate and destiny.

Reiji himself remained seated in the River of Time, intently watching Narakuka and deducing his true nature.

His sense of touch has always been the only thing that allows him to walk among humans. He and the Mercury Serpent have brought many novelties to this world.

Although it was a theatrical act for the two of them, it introduced a few twists and turns into a world where the known poison was about to overflow.

Lei Zhe was still wandering around in his tattered white ancient-style robe, while Mercury Serpent was searching for his horror movie actors on the other side.

Although he was wandering, Razer himself began to create many interesting parallel universes within the territory ruled by the Mercury Serpent.

In addition, for changes outside the script, Razer also left the worldview of the Wrath of Gods and captured some world bubbles that he found worthy, and threw them into the territory ruled by the Mercury Serpent.

Mercury Serpent, seated at his throne, watched from God's perspective as his best friend created and captured these colorful worlds for him, and he himself was quite happy.

After all, it's a completely new parallel world, where everything is unknown and there's no sense of familiarity whatsoever.

Reiji created a real world from many of the anime series he had watched and left it within the Mercury Serpent's realm.

As the ultimate sources of mystery, the two have left their own mark on the world.

Before Razer lay a world of crimson: a red sky, a red earth, red mountains, a red ocean—everything was an intensely vibrant red, as if its very existence was composed of red.

If you ignore the vibrant reds and replace them with normal colors, it would just be a desolate and monotonous world.

"What a barren and monotonous world..."

A figure was slowly walking forward in the desolate landscape.

Wandering, Lei Zhe also embraced the mindset of self-cultivation when he wandered through these tiny worlds.

Like the Mercury Serpent, he exists from a higher-dimensional perspective, and even surpasses the Mercury Serpent. The Fourth Day era, thanks to Rai Zhe, brought endless surprises and unknowns to Mercury.

Even with the hidden enemy Narakuka, Suigin thoroughly enjoys spending time with his best friend pursuing the unique unknown.

This is the Crimson World, one of the worlds that Reiji casually captured, an insignificant and barren world within the realm of eternally returning order.

Here exist the Crimson World Apostles and Crimson World Kings from Razer's memories. This world is extremely desolate, a vibrant red, hence the name Crimson World. The entire world is a monotonous red.

Apart from the extremely powerful Crimson World Demon Lord, most of the others in this world are just "beasts" that live for the power of existence.

The apostles' thinking was monotonous, unlike the Crimson Lords who affirmed their desires and thoughts.

Therefore, the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, applies here in the Crimson World, and the weak will be devoured.

Just like now, Razer was being tracked by an apostle who considered himself very weak. The apostle, which resembled a griffin, was soaring in the sky. No one knew how much wisdom or thought it possessed, but it seemed to be curious about the being wandering below.

"Strange, how come I can't sense even a trace of its presence?"

He was wary and puzzled by the peculiarity of the prey he was tracking: he couldn't sense the slightest bit of its presence or any aura.

If he couldn't see and lock onto the other party with his eyes, he would have thought it was a mirage.

Each Crimson World Apostle has its own concept; they are all different in form and all want to evolve to a higher form.

That is, the Crimson Lords who far surpass the Apostles. Such beings have a certain degree of power to interfere with the world, and their status and power are only below the three Crimson Lords.

Humanoid Crimson World Apostles are generally very rare. Apostles usually prefer powerful physical symbols, such as lions and dragons.

so......

"call out--"

Flame projectiles formed from the power of existence rained down on Reiji, but this was merely a probing attack.

If Raiji shows weakness, he will be devoured by the Crimson World Apostles of the Sky; otherwise, he will need to escape.

boom!

The explosion, like a lit gasoline canister, instantly burst into a sizable mushroom cloud.

"Ughhhhhh..."

However, the one that let out the shrill scream was not its target, but the Crimson World Apostle in the sky. Its griffin-like body was instantly blown apart and burned to ashes, turning into basic existence power.

[Reversal of Cause and Effect]

The target of the damage is reversed, and the one who initiates the attack is the one who gets hurt.

Lei Zhe emerged calmly from the pyre of flames at the center of the explosion. His already tattered white robes remained undamaged, and he continued walking with the same gait as before.

They were used to the attack and didn't care much about it.

Even if he is only a sensory being now, and his universe is less than one ten-thousandth the size of his own cells, he is not a tiny creature like an amoeba, and therefore cannot be understood as great and sublime.

During his travels and wanderings, many arrogant individuals attacked him, but even the small causal barrier that Reiji had set up on him could not be broken.

"Could it be that Mercury has been incorporated into the script of this parallel world as well?"

He casually lifted and manipulated the power of existence in the surrounding air to weave it together, then opened a stable passage between the two worlds, and Lei Zhe transformed into a stream of light and directly passed through it.

The scene that came into view was the territory of present-day Europe, and then he began his wandering journey to see if there was anyone destined to become the actor who would play Mercury with him.

Because of its complex and diverse world style, Razer only knows that he captured many worlds of varying strengths and merged them, while the other parallel worlds were created by Razer at will.

Raiji and Mercury became the background figures of the new world, with Mercury in charge of the West and Raiji in charge of the East.

"It's a pity that such a grand stage will eventually become a script for a goddess's solo dance."

Sitting on the somersault cloud he created at will, Rai Zhe flew at low altitude. Because he was disguised as a Crimson World Demon King, ordinary people could not see him at all.

Looking down at the vibrant world below, while admiring his own masterpiece and that of Mercury, Razer couldn't help but sigh that the ultimate destiny of this planet was to become a chessboard for the battles between gods.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Reiji noticed a curious and surprised gaze upon him. Could someone actually see him? Was it a witch, an apostle, or a magician—some kind of extraordinary being?

In a medieval castle, the daughter of the castle lord stands in the courtyard, gazing intently at a yellow cloud in the sky and what lies above it.

"Hey, look over there in the sky, isn't there someone sitting on that yellow cloud?"

As the daughter of the castle owner, she should have been a dignified and virtuous young lady, but this young lady had the appearance of a tomboy, making the castle guards look towards the sky.

The guards were already used to their young lady's unconventional behavior. No matter how her father reprimanded her, she still didn't behave like a noble lady at all.

So the guards obeyed the young lady's order and looked at the sky where she pointed, but they didn't see anything at all, only blue sky and white clouds. There were no yellow clouds there.

"Young Miss, are you trying to trick us again so you can run away and have fun by yourself? Please don't do that!"

The guards, with stiff, expressionless faces, obeyed the girl's father's orders to protect her and keep a close eye on her to prevent her from wandering off.

"It's true, there was definitely someone sitting on a yellow cloud in the sky, and ah! He was even smiling and waving at me!"

The girl, Matilda Saint-Milou, showed surprise and anxiety, and spoke urgently to convince the guards to believe her.

But the guards ignored them and returned to their posts to protect the young lady with stiff, zombie-like faces.

Reiji in the sky simply smiled and waved at the special person who could see him before flying away, causing Matilda in the castle below to stomp her feet in anger.

Matilda acted very unlike a young lady, running straight towards the courtyard exit. The guards, seeing that their young lady was about to escape again, quickly stopped her.

However, this woman was not only not as weak as a woman on the surface, but she was also stronger than the guards. She knocked out a large group of men and ran away, quietly leaving the castle and disappearing into the woods.

She loved swordsmanship since she was a child, and even through self-study, she developed considerable martial arts skills. This was the reason why her guards and father were worried about whether she could still get married.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, Reiji, who was flying low over the other side, didn't pay much attention to the girl. After all, in the diverse worldviews, apart from the Day of God's Wrath, there were characters from worldviews that Reiji was too lazy to care about.

With hundreds of millions of people in the world, there will always be some naturally gifted individuals. Encountering them will only cause a slight ripple in your usually calm heart, but nothing more.

"Hey! You in the sky, stop right there!"

A very faint voice came from below. Rei Zhe's expression was calm, but his eyes were strange. He slowed down the speed of his somersault cloud and turned his head to look down.

He saw a beautiful woman on horseback chasing after him below, shouting at him in the sky with a face full of curiosity about the unknown, lacking any ladylike virtue or grace.

"She must be a bit of a goofball with tomboyish traits..."

Based on his assessment of the other party's behavior and style, Lei Zhe slowly descended, showing a slight curiosity about the girl who was chasing him.

Seeing that the other horse had slowed down and landed not far ahead, Matilda's face lit up with joy, and she quickened her horse to catch up.
