I'll kill you after I finish this game!

But that can only be considered an average level. Although the average Seeking God is stronger than the Overlord God, the individual prowess and strength of the Overlord God far surpasses that of the average Seeking God.

In terms of pure strength, it surpasses the Overlord God on average.

However, there are also many weaker than the Overlord God, so it's on average.

After all, the only surviving overlord god is like a venomous insect; after the battle, only the strongest and only one will remain.

But despite their power, the fact that domineering gods can force each other to fight without any will makes many people choose the ultimate individual seeking the Way, who has no flaws, if they had to choose between domineering gods and seeking gods.

Now Skadi has revealed a flaw that is no less than the conflict between domineering gods, and it is a disease that will destroy itself, which has aroused the curiosity of countless viewers from all dimensions, as well as Fujii Ren.

After being shocked, Fujii Ren asked him directly.

"What...is that, senior?"

"The cancer of the gods, called the self-destruction factor, coexists and perishes like cancer, inevitably leading to a causal relationship in which the god perishes upon it." Skadi glanced in the direction of her home and then revealed the truth to Fujii Ren.

“Self-destruction…factor.” Fujii Ren remained silent, unconsciously repeating the word.

"As its name suggests, after the suicidal impulse arises in the heart of the domineering god, there will be a being born in reality that conforms to the other party's desire for destruction. The existence of this person is to eliminate the domineering god who has developed the impulse to self-destruct."

Countless viewers were quite surprised to hear this, never expecting that the domineering god would have such a strange ailment.

But the thought that it was a terrifying and tyrannical god, a god that Skadi described as capable of changing the world with a single thought.

It's quite normal to feel this way when thoughts are swirling in your mind.

However, Fujii Ren felt there was still something wrong. She wasn't a god, and she even wondered if she had some suicidal impulses.

Thinking this with such doubt, Fujii Ren couldn't help but look at Skadi, wanting to ask her about her question, but Skadi seemed to have already seen through her doubts and simply said:

"Are you trying to say that you've never had any suicidal tendencies in your life so far?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren opened and closed her mouth as if trying to explain, but a fleeting memory made her shut her mouth.

"Everything has an surface and a core. What Yuza Shirou does may make you angry and disgusted, but it's something you genuinely want to do. His desire to destroy ordinary reality is real, but so is his desire to protect and maintain the current situation. Therefore..."

Therefore, no matter how angry Fujii Ren was about what Yuza Shirou did, it was something that Fujii Ren longed to do deep down but dared not do.

Therefore, Yuza Shirou's appearance, acting on her behalf to do all these things, disrupted that false daily life, but also protected the daily life around her.

Originally, the self-destruction factor was something only gods could possess. When a god had the idea of ​​self-destruction, humans would appear in the world they controlled because of this idea. Usually, the responsibility of these humans was to destroy the god who ruled the world.

The self-destructing factor is closely related to God. If God dies, the self-destructing factor will die; if the self-destructing factor dies, God will not die.

Although gods are immortal, when self-destructive factors appear in a god's rule, then that god is essentially old.

As for why Fujii Ren had the self-destruct factor before becoming a god, we have to look at what kind of god era Skadi and Fujii Ren lived in.

Perhaps Fujii Ren harbors a sense of self-destruction within him, a sense of having already known something. Even after countless reincarnations, memories may be lost, but feelings cannot be erased.

"Then... will Shirou kill me?" Fujii Ren's expression was silent and her heart was complicated. No matter how much her senior said it made her resist, she was indeed attracted by Yuza Shirou's behavior and couldn't hide it at all.

"It's highly likely, but if he really is your self-destruct factor, he can't kill you unless he truly awakens."

Skadi, recalling a particularly malicious aspect of the self-destruct factor, wore a mysterious smile that made Fujii Ren tremble, and said to him with a wicked grin:

"Moreover, the power awakened by the self-destruct factor can perfectly counter its host. After awakening, no matter how strong the host becomes, they will use this causal relationship to increase their power to the point where they can just perish together."

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren and countless viewers fell silent, feeling both surprised and yet understanding.

Once awakened, no matter how powerful the host is, the opponent's power will immediately surge to a level comparable to the host's.

This is arguably cheating, yet it's also quite reasonable.

Since the self-destruct factor is an existence born in accordance with the domineering god's desire for destruction, it can restrain itself and is capable of mutual destruction, which seems quite normal.

Genshin Impact, Teyvat.

At Wanmintang Restaurant in Liyue, Mr. Zhongli, who was enjoying lunch in a private room without any money but carrying his wallet, Tartaglia, looked at the deity described in the video, took a sip of tea, and then muttered to himself:

"I see. No wonder it's called a disease of the gods. Any being that embarks on a path of dominance will experience this self-destruction if it even has such thoughts."

Their demon gods are not as omnipotent as ordinary people imagine; at the very least, they are also troubled by wear and tear and various other issues.

The danger of falling is also frequent, and mortals would never understand this flaw of the demon god.

Even the Thunder God, who pursues eternity, uses clever methods to avoid the symptoms caused by wear and tear.

The believers on the other side of Mount Sumeru claim that their god, the Great Tree King, is all-knowing and all-powerful. But if he really could do that, how could he have ended up in such a state of exhaustion?

"Can even gods have suicidal impulses? That terrifying and domineering god of that world actually has such a flaw."

Tartaglia sat next to Zhongli, her friend from Liyue, stroking her chin as she watched a video.

He found it incredibly unbelievable that someone as powerful as himself, who could reign supreme over all things, could suffer from such a self-destructive disorder.

“There’s a saying, ‘You are not a fish, how can you know the fish’s joy?’ You are not a god, so naturally you don’t understand the troubles and ways of the world of gods.” After hearing Datalia’s words, Zhongli said with a touch of vicissitude and profound meaning, “In the far east, can you really have a complete understanding of that empress?”

"...That makes sense."

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan had to admit that since they were all different species, it was impossible to truly achieve complete mutual understanding. Although he respected the Queen, he could not achieve the kind of situation that Zhongli had described.

But D'Artagnan also wore an amused smile, and while watching the video, she said to Zhongli:

"But I think the flaw of the overlord god in another world is pretty good. After having the urge to self-destruct, another powerful being will be born that can counter and restrain itself, and can also achieve unreasonable mutual destruction. If I get tired of living one day, I really want to have a good fight and then retire."

Hearing the young man Dadalia's war-crazed words, Zhongli glanced at him indifferently. He didn't dislike this kind of genuine human being.

However, regarding D'Artagnan's jokes about gods who were completely different species from their demon gods, Zhongli still spoke to him earnestly:

"Skadi hasn't finished speaking yet. She previously described the self-destruct factor as the host's other half or half-body. I'm afraid the characteristics of the self-destruct factor are not yet complete."

Compared to the wear and tear on the Demon God and the self-destructive impulses of the Overlord God, Zhongli accepted it easily.

Everything in the world strives for balance. For a powerful being like the Overlord God, who can influence all aspects of the world, this limitation actually makes him feel much more normal.

However, Zhongli could discern more than just the self-destruct factor that Skadi mentioned.

In the crumbling world, inside the viewing space, Otto found this scene quite amusing.

"This kind of god is really interesting. The relationship between self-destructing factors is quite similar to that between humans and cancer cells. They coexist and thrive, but if the other side becomes unbalanced, it will kill itself."

Otto wore an amused smile, after all, a supreme god like the Overlord God could change the world with a single thought.

A desire for self-destruction will give rise to beings that conform to that desire for destruction, in order to destroy oneself.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the alternation and conflict between domineering gods is also normal.

So what is the state of the gods on the "seat" in the unknown realm that Nasketti spoke of?

With such a flaw, can a hegemon truly sit on the throne of heaven for long?

The piecing together of various pieces of intelligence revealed a secret that made Otto realize that the waters of that world were truly incredibly deep.

He also realized that the troublesome and terrifying nature of the self-destructive factor was not limited to this, so when the video explained it, Otto's smile faded and he became somewhat silent.

Back to the video.

"...So, to put it another way, mutual destruction is the fate of self-destructive factors, right?"

Fujii Ren thought of her childhood friend Shirou. Although their relationship had been that of best friends and accomplices since childhood, their friendship could not be described as bad.

They knew each other so well that they were so compatible they were practically vomiting.

However, the thought that she and Shirou might be destined to self-destruct filled Fujii Ren with an indescribable sense of complexity and sorrow.

Should I be angry at this fate? Or should I be angry at myself?

"After all, it is an existence born in response to the host's desire for destruction, and duty and destiny are meant to be like this."

Skadi thought of someone, a carefree smile curving her lips, her eyes holding a light that Fujii Ren couldn't understand. She smiled and said:

"Moreover, the concept of self-destruction factor is very malicious. If the two parties are of the same sex, they will become best friends who would die for each other. If the two parties are of opposite sexes, they will become lovers."

"When same-sex friends become best friends, they will inevitably stand on opposite sides. Cause and effect and fate will push them to their deaths. If they are opposite sexes, they will drown in that love without realizing it, and neither of them will even know that the love was born to kill the other."

“——!!!!”

After a moment of silence, Fujii Ren stared wide-eyed at the smiling upperclassman Skadi in disbelief. A moment later, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, and she stammered, "..."

"Senior, I...I can say with absolute certainty that I don't have those feelings for Silang right now!"

If Yuza Shirou is male and she, Fujii Ren, is female, and if the other party really is her self-destructive factor, then wouldn't that be...?!?

Just thinking about it made Fujii Ren's head spin, and her cheeks grew increasingly flushed under Skadi's amused gaze!

Now I finally understand what Skadi meant when she said Shirou was her other half with that smirk.

However, Fujii Ren is certain that although Shirou is very attractive to her, she doesn't really have those feelings of liking or loving him; that's for sure.

The panic I feel right now is inexplicable. Is it directed at Skadi? Or at Mary? There's a strange, inexplicable impulse, almost like the urge to cheat.

Fortunately, Skadi didn't continue teasing her; instead, she comforted her and said:

"It's very possible in the future, and I'm telling you this now so you can be mentally prepared."

"..."

Hearing Skadi's comforting words, Fujii Ren's flustered and embarrassed heart quickly calmed down. He remembered what Skadi had said before: the self-destruct factor was very malicious.

They may be best friends of the same sex, but they will inevitably stand on opposite sides and fight each other to the death.

Even if two people of the opposite sex are deeply in love, it is possible that neither of them realizes the love they are expressing to the other, which can lead to destruction.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't just Fujii Ren who found the self-destructive factor troublesome; even countless viewers who heard this explanation felt a strange...sorrow for those who had stepped into the realm of the overlord.

Boundless friends who would die together will inevitably turn on each other, and lovers who are truly in love will die together in the name of love.

This is just... with this added, the troublesome and vicious nature of the self-destruction factor is simply astonishing to the audience.

[Bard]: With this addition, I finally understand why the Overlord God cannot exist forever. Sigh...

[Guest of the Hall of Rebirth]: Judging from Skadi's words, even the slightest thought of this kind will lead to the birth of self-destructive factors. Maintaining such a youthful mindset... is difficult.

【General Thunder】: He died from the killing of his closest friends and drowned from the death of his beloved. It is said to be an illness... but it is more like a terrible curse.

[World Destroyer]: After having deep friendships and interdependent love, the end result is destruction, which is indeed no different from a curse.

【Vehicle Killer】: It turns out that even such supreme deities have this kind of tragic side.

[Möbius]: No wonder the Seekers of the Way are stronger than the Overlords on average. The Seekers of the Way don't have this kind of disease, but it's because their way of existence is like that of a single-celled organism, so they don't have self-destruct factors.

【Dumb Goose】: Seeking the Way is about inward development, while hegemony is about outward expansion. The former can exist simultaneously and in multiple forms, and the possibility of them fighting each other is also lower. The latter... is hard to explain.

【Universal Heavenly Net】: This cause-and-effect relationship is indeed astonishingly heavy. With this added, I'm afraid many domineering gods will not have a good end.
