I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"If that's the case, I'll try my best... but what do you need me to do?"

Mary could feel this expectation and dedication, though she didn't know why, but Cagliostro and Reiji were both working hard for her.

Rezhe chuckled and looked towards the main world outside the Dusk Beach, where the golden beast and its subordinates, along with his disciple Matilda and others, were. Then he looked at Mary and said:

“I would like to ask you to send me and those under Cagliostro’s command to Valhalla. Mary, you have grown up. You should see the world with your own eyes and use your own strength and hands to change everything you want to change.”

With your curse, and the hearts of those who love you, you will touch the decapitating blade that cuts everything apart.

Massacre, apocalyptic catastrophe, the day of wrath that breaks the prison laws.

Rezer told Mary to carry out the killing, but Mary didn't resist, because it was her daily routine, turning people into eight.

She possesses the most beautiful and pure yet ferocious killing intent in the world; her chillingly innocent and pure emotions make her the most suitable person to be an executioner.

So Mary simply smiled sweetly at what Rezer said.

"Is that so? I understand, then..."

"Well, sing here before that, sing that bittersweet song of longing, and let this memorable first act become the story of your life's official beginning."

"...Um."

The innocent Mary agreed, and she looked forward to it just as much.

------

After finishing his conversation with Mary, Rezer was in a good mood. After glancing at the Mercury Serpent's actions, countless changes flashed in his eyes, which contained an indescribable abyss, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was as if countless universes were being born before one's eyes, only to be destroyed and disappear one by one.

It seems to transcend time, detached from the past, present, and future, at the three points of past, present, and future.

However, apart from Razer himself, no one knew what he was looking at.

"At this time..."

Reiji left an avatar to deal with the trivial matters of the prime plane of Germany, while he himself stood up and looked into the distant void, muttering to himself, "The fruit is ripe now."

In his eyes, the parallel world of the main plane that he had obtained from the Mercury Serpent had evolved into what he desired under Reiji's modification and promotion.

That can no longer be described as a parallel world, but it can be described as a similar but absolutely different parallel alternate world.

“Come on, Esther, let’s travel to other worlds together.”

Looking at Estelle, who was eating her favorite steamed buns with a rosy face on the other side, the beautiful silver-haired elf girl looked at Razer with her pink cheeks puffed out and her cherry lips stained with glistening oil.

She got up, covered her little mouth, and took the last basket of xiaolongbao. Esther immediately ran over and mischievously used Rei Zhe's clothes as a sanitary napkin to wipe her greasy little hands, rubbing them all over.

Whether it was revenge for Reiji always being busy with Mary and neglecting her, Esther also showed a bit of temper, expressing her dissatisfaction at being ignored by her master.

"You little rascal!"

He pinched Esther's delicate, fair, and beautiful cheek. Under Esther's angry gaze as if she were a bad guy, Lei Zhe chuckled and reached out to grab all of her favorite steamed buns and put them in his mouth.

After finishing his misdeeds, he didn't forget to give Esther's stockings a lewd look. His wicked grin and sly, roguish gaze made Esther blush with embarrassment, and she immediately protested:

"Brother, you're bad! H!"

"Ha, as if a layer of socks can keep out my sight. I've already seen your little feet!"

With a wicked grin on his face, Rez said, his third eye on his forehead opening up and scanning Esther's calves and feet like an X-ray.

Without Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng around, his only hobby is teasing and bullying the cute little ones around him.

I should also correct this: Esther has an abnormally shy streak, so Rezer likes to focus on the stockings on Esther's beautiful legs and doesn't allow her to go naked casually.

"Waaaah—!"

With a startled cry, Esther's delicate and adorable face flushed red. Amused by Rezer's blatant gaze and mischievous tone, she transformed into a divine sword, aiming straight for Rezer's buttocks.

Having her little feet seen was just like an ordinary girl being caught naked and having her panties exposed, making Esther, who was abnormally shy, feel extremely ashamed and indignant!

And so, the two of them, in a playful manner, headed straight to the new world.

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.

In 1853, in ancient Japan, also known as Shenzhou, it was nighttime.

Now this place is just like the one described in mythology, with monsters and millions of mountain spirits and wild monsters disguised as gods.

The Eastern Nine Provinces are home to all sorts of cultivators, while the Western Continent is home to strange beings such as magicians and wizards.

On this retro-style Japanese island in front of Razer and Esther, there are also various samurai, strongmen, and onmyoji.

This is a parallel universe created and modified by Raiji, called the Day of Divine Wrath. This Japan can be said to be the real land of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

In this time and space, in this place, the seed players he planted and nurtured live here.

As he said before, it is time to reap the rewards and use them for good.

Meanwhile, Reiji and Esther were in a palace in Shenzhou when they saw a figure dressed in luxurious clothes with a sun wheel of dawn floating behind him. After Reiji appeared, the figure smiled and nodded at him.

The Emperor, or God Emperor, is the supreme ruler of the Divine Continent.

He is also the supreme leader of Shintoism and a symbol of the country.

Since ancient times, there has been no change of dynasties. The imperial emperor has always been the supreme ruler, and he is also the embodiment of Amaterasu's will, which resides at the pinnacle of this world, in the land of the gods and in the East.

Similarly, it is also Lei Zhe's sense of touch in this space-time that embodies a level of existence.

It can be said to be the most prestigious existence in this country.

Even so, because they have been sitting on the throne in the palace for hundreds or even thousands of years without moving, they have become someone that some lower-level people think of as having no impression of them other than their nobility.

The number of times that the guards and capable generals responsible for protecting the royal family had the opportunity to see the Emperor could be counted on one hand throughout history.

Generally, the divine emperor only issues orders for governing the world, while his subordinates act according to his will to serve the country.

As for the emergence of treacherous officials and rebellious traitors, the existence of those tools created by Lei Zhe can solve that problem.

After all, Lei Zhe is a domineering Tai Chi being, and infecting other souls with weaker aptitude is only a basic passive ability.

This country is not lacking in fanatics for the God Emperor. Most of the capable ministers and generals who are dedicated to protecting the country and the royal family are either fans of Razer or fans of Razer's twisted ways.

In this spacetime, Razer's sense of touch chuckled and nodded, transforming into a stream of light that returned to his body.

"Estelle, change your clothes."

Lei Zhe then looked at the beautiful elf girl who was still dressed in white clothes, a short skirt, and stockings, and with a wave of his hand, changed her outfit into a more luxurious Japanese-style dress.

After all, Reiji and Esther's previous attire and clothing were out of step with this world and era, and he still needed to use his identity as the Japanese Emperor to do what he wanted.

"Hmm...so complicated."

A hint of confusion crossed Esther's delicate face as she looked at the Japanese kimono she was wearing on her petite body. Although she looked elegant and beautiful in it, Esther felt that the clothes were too cumbersome.

Before she met Razer and he brought together all her parallel world lines, she always moved around naked in the Elemental Spirit Realm, wearing only a pair of stockings.

If Razer hadn't told her that only she could see her belongings, Esther would probably have continued to give Razer a "fan service" display every now and then.

"Just bear with it, it'll be fine in a while. Besides, Esther is very pretty now."

Rezhe touched the little guy's unhappy face and chuckled to comfort him. At least his praise made Esther's face turn rosy, and she no longer resisted the clothes she was wearing.

With Razer at heart, Esther knew that Razer's praise was heartfelt. There were no lies between them, and she also knew that Razer, her master, greatly admired her beautiful, snow-silver hair.

After all, because of his relationship with Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng, Lei Zhe is a fan of silver hair and petite figures, since he is quite comfortable to hug.

Now, bathed in the palace lights, Esther's dazzling silver hair, her skin as white as freshly squeezed milk, and her limbs that outline smooth curves—even though she is petite, she has the utterly adorable figure of a girl.

With a doting look in his eyes, Rezhe beckoned Esther to sit down beside him, and then used the power of existence to create Esther's [existence] and [identity] for this world.

The Emperor's younger sister, Tsukuyomi.

After all, the gender of Tsukuyomi in the original Japanese mythology was not definitively determined; it could be either male or female.

There are theories that he is the twin goddess of Amaterasu, and there are also theories that he is a male god.

In any case, as long as people's common sense and cognition are aware that Tsukuyomi has the identity of Esther, that's enough.

After arranging their respective identities and the problems they faced, Lei Zhe was ready to begin his own plan.

"------!"

The dawn of Tai Chi, the ultimate truth of the universe, burst forth, spreading and forcefully enveloping the entire land of China. It was the unchanging aura and pressure of the eternal existence of the [God].

Beings with barren souls cannot perceive the magnificence and vastness of their divine status, while those with high spiritual status and potential can sense this difference in rank.

Like a higher dimension interfering with a lower dimension, this domineering will spread out from the God Emperor's Palace, causing the expressions of all the talented people to change drastically.

"That's... the direction of the royal palace, could it be the God Emperor!?"

A multitude of gazes, each with its own significance, converged on that spot, for it was at the very center of all things in the universe.

Awe, fear, fanaticism, timidity, reverence, disbelief—all sorts of different gazes were focused on that place.

Gods exist in this world, but most beings have never seen them. The people living in the land of the gods only know that gods exist, in the most magnificent palaces, but everyone thinks it is just a legend.

Now, miracles have indeed appeared in the people's sight.

A light could be seen rising from the thick clouds of the dark night sky, coming from the east, as if the sun were rising.

The dawn's light painted the eastern sky a golden-red hue.

However, it was midnight, and theoretically there should still be at least a few hours until dawn.

Before the incredulous eyes of countless people, from the distant eastern sky, a sun of a million rays rose directly at an incredible speed.

The endless dawn light emanating from the sun was warm, yet also grand and majestic, bursting forth with a powerful force that tore through the clouds and shattered the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night.

The darkness that could block out all light was being rapidly dispelled, and the eastern sky began to burn, quickly becoming bright, with a halo illuminating the entire sky.

As day turned to night, an incomparably dazzling golden sun rose, a flame and radiance that seemed capable of burning away everything in the world!

At the very top of the imperial palace of the Divine Land, the sacred and dazzling sun wheel remained stationary.

The golden light was sacred and warm, and as the infinitely magnified sun expanded, it poured down onto a larger area of ​​the ground, becoming so vast that it seemed unreal.

Countless people felt their whole bodies tremble, and looked up in disbelief at the halo in the sky, as if they were staring into the eyes of a cold and indifferent deity.

Indeed, that is true.

The flames sublimated in an instant, illuminating the entire world. What followed was a divine summons, as if whispered in one's ear. The unforgettable voice pierced straight into the soul, forcefully imprinting itself on the deepest center of memory.

"People of China—"

Suddenly, Lei Zhe's indifferent yet divine voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the entire land of China.
