Chapter 78 The Lord of Heaven, Not Bad

The moment Ye Wen saw the Scarlet Crane, his first reaction was relief.

Meeting familiar faces while away from home is always such a joy.

Even though she sits on a throne of bones, with filthy corpses and a sea of ​​blood beneath her feet.

"A good thing? In a way, it is indeed a good thing."

Ye Wen casually stood up, dusted off imaginary dust, and looked up at Fei Hezeng: "However, I didn't expect you to reveal your identity to me so readily."

"I never expected you to get involved with those witchers."

Higurashi yawned, somewhat annoyed, and said, "I even swallowed that finger in the midst of the chaos, and even saw Him. Life is truly unpredictable."

"Things have come to this point, it would be impolite of me not to get involved personally, right?"

She winked at Ye Wen.

Ye Wen replied, "Don't give me that crap. My mind is completely occupied with the innocent girl I saw in the Divine Realm, and the eyes that tore through the sky at the end." He frowned and asked, "So, what exactly was that?"

"How did I end up there, and how did you know I was there?"

Eat your food one bite at a time, and discuss things one by one.

With a snap of his fingers, the scene of corpses lying everywhere was transformed into the student council's space, with their usual tea and snacks laid out on the table.

"This is the most suitable environment for discussing matters."

Higurashi propped her face up with her hand, picked up a piece of bunny-shaped cotton candy that the student council president usually loved to eat, but didn't bite into it after holding it for a long time. "Hmm, where should I start? Right, let's start with that finger."

"I can tell you that it's not my finger, or at least not entirely."

really.

Ye Wen nodded. He had been wondering about the composition of that finger, whether it contained something else. Now that even the evil god Fei He Zeng himself had said so, Ye Wen was right.

Ye Wen couldn't help but ask, "Does it contain elements of the Heavenly King?"

"Hmm~"

"You must have heard some descriptions of the parts of the evil god from the Witcher, so I won't go into too much detail."

Himegakure nodded: "Those so-called parts lost in the great war were actually the pollution I caused to the Lord of Heaven. He peeled these pollutions off his body during the battle and fell from Heaven."

"Because it was a part discarded from the supreme and pure Lord of Heaven, that flesh itself is an extremely twisted ominous curse. It's perfectly normal for some ignorant 'know-it-alls' to mistake it for my body and spread it, right?"

"I see."

Ye Wen cursed the Holy Covenant Church in his mind without expression. It turns out they were just a bunch of rumor-mongers.

He then asked, "Doesn't the Kingdom of Heaven go and correct this rumor?"

Why do they need to correct it?

Fei Hezeng curled the corners of his mouth: "Let's not even talk about how many people in the Heavenly Kingdom know the truth. Even if they do, in their eyes, anyone who uses these curses is an utterly wicked villain, a monster deserving of a thousand cuts."

"Let them seek out the curse themselves, and then be consumed by it; it saves us the trouble of doing anything."

"Besides, even if it's not my body, those curses are things that the Holy Covenant Church needs to search for and seal away. It makes no difference whether they are corrected or not."

"Of course, most importantly—"

"Most importantly," Ye Wen interjected, "the fact that the Lord of Heaven was corrupted by an evil god and forced to cut off his own flesh doesn't sound good if word gets out; it will damage his image, right?"

Higanbaku smiled.

"You're still the same as ever, always managing to grasp the most crucial point."

"That's right, that's the biggest reason."

Hearing this, Ye Wen couldn't help but ponder. Looking at it this way, the difference between the red-clad and gold-clad heroines didn't seem so great. One Scarlet Crane Demon was enough to push the Heavenly Kingdom's ruler to this point; if all three attacked at once—

"You're probably thinking right now, 'Even the ruler of Heaven isn't all that great,' right?"

Looking at Ye Wen's expression, Fei Hezeng suddenly spoke up: "You're thinking too simply."

"Let's not talk about how much preparation I made when I attacked the Kingdom of Heaven, or even how I carried the burden of Hell. Let's just talk about the result."

"I lost."

Higurashi-sen stated bluntly, "And it was a crushing defeat."

"The body was cut apart, the soul was sealed, and existence was worn away—this miserable state was caused by only one-third of the Lord of Heaven."

"One-third?" Ye Wen seemed to understand something.

Yes, one-third.

Hikawa-zō counted on her fingers, making a crisp sound: "You saw it too, didn't you? An innocent girl with authoritarian eyes."

"The image of the girl represents the original purity of heaven. She is innocent, pure, and kind. She sees the world from a child's perspective. She is the beginning of everything, the origin of the soul, the heart of heaven, and also the strongest one."

Ye Wen wrote down in his notebook: "[The Heavenly Ruler in Loli Form]".

"And that eye—Her true form is a mature woman. She represents hatred for filth and sin. She is the sharpest blade of heaven, the embodiment of supreme power, and her strength is in the middle."

Ye Wen wrote down in his notebook: "[The Heavenly King in his hunting form]".

"The last one, well, to be honest, I've never seen her either, but she represents the decline of the Kingdom of Heaven, losing interest in the authority she upheld, and immersing herself in the nothingness of 'all things are permitted, all things are allowed.' She is the dark side of the Kingdom of Heaven, the insignificant humanity beneath divinity, and also the weakest one."

Ye Wen nodded and wrote down in his notebook: "[The Lord of Heaven in His Otaku Form]".

"These three are different aspects of the Kingdom of Heaven. Together they form the complete Kingdom of Heaven, while I cannot even defeat one-third of the Kingdom of Heaven."

Higurashi-sen said self-deprecatingly, "Now do you still think the ruler of Heaven is nothing special?"

Ye Wen nodded: "That's all."

"The Lord of Heaven is indeed worthy!"

The three combined equal one president, so thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Higanbaku squinted and said, "I suddenly remembered that you've only been able to tell the truth these past few days. Do you really think the ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom is nothing special?"

Ye Wen was shocked: "You're not even going to pretend anymore, are you? Just admit that the evil god who signed the contract with me was you?"

"Oh no, I accidentally let it slip." Hisa-zō covered her mouth. "Never mind, it's alright."

"Anyway, I've shown you everything, so this won't make a difference. By the way, it's all thanks to that contract that I realized something was wrong with you. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that you had actually gone to heaven."

"To avoid dealing with the massive amount of student council work tomorrow, I had no choice but to activate my backup hidden energy and, at great risk, forcibly pull you to me."

"So," Higanbaku-zo narrowed his eyes, "how did you manage to run off to heaven without a word?"

Ye Wen recounted the story of Corday.

"Oh, no wonder."

"The ritual detected the aura of the Lord of Heaven within your finger and automatically sent you up there, didn't it?"

I'll really send you to heaven.

"Those witchers probably haven't seen anything like this before, they're totally bewildered right now."

"But you'd better not trust those witchers."

Higurashi-sen said meaningfully, "At times."

"Their depravity is almost as bad as hell."

Ye Wen calmly said, "I'm not naive enough to completely trust an unfamiliar organization."

"I have my own plans."

Of course, me too.

Higurashi silently said this in his heart.

There was one thing she didn't tell Ye Wen.

That is, even if a connection is established, it is impossible for ordinary people to go to heaven. Heaven is not some green planet where all kinds of ruthless bandits can come and go as they please, like a public toilet.

There are only two possibilities for someone to be able to slide up like Ye Wen.

First, the Lord of Heaven knew him and gave him special treatment.

Second, Ye Wen's status is far higher than that of the Heavenly King, and no one can stop him from going to Heaven if he wants to.

Hikawa lowered his eyes, revealing a pleased smile.

Which possibility is it?

It's really hard to guess.
