As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

If the plan is well-made, it may not be impossible to achieve.

"Humans can't kill gods!" Granny Sanzhi had an extremely accurate eye and knew Rom very well. She could tell what kind of shit he was going to take just by seeing him stick his butt out.

She had to interrupt Rom's delusions, saying that gods are superior to humans, and even her master, Okazuko, could not defeat a god.

At most, exorcising evil spirits of the major demon level would be enough.

Although it is disheartening, humanity has indeed always been in an extremely vulnerable position.

If it weren't for the fact that all evil spirits now roam the spirit world, reality would probably be in chaos long ago.

For ordinary people, being far from the spirit world is actually a good thing.

“Rom, come back with me, and never come back here again.” Takeda Saegi’s face was grim. “I told you this before…”

“Don’t get involved with taboo things, right?” Rom interrupted Granny Saegusa.

His smile was still there, but it seemed somewhat forced.

"I've heard these old clichés more than once; my ears are practically calloused." He picked at his ear, a hint of impatience showing on his nonchalant face.

Grandma Sange's beliefs are deeply ingrained and difficult to change.

This is why he has been secretly investigating the hidden matters behind Granny Sanzhi's back.

But this is understandable, since it is these inexplicable rules that allow spiritual practitioners in the countryside to continue to exist.

The prodigy Rom smiled and said, "But you also taught me another phrase, didn't you?"

"Extend a helping hand to those in need."

That's why he never stopped, not only because he was burdened by Oka Touko's death, but more importantly, because of that cry for help.

Help me...

The cry for help came from deep in the mountains, undetectable to ordinary people. Even the Shitamachi Shrine Maiden and Oka Touko could not know it.

But he heard those words when he was a child.

That's why he chose to come to this shrine alone to make a wish to the mountain god.

Rescue the child who cried for help.

Even if... that cry for help came from this shrine.

Unable to communicate with Granny Saegusa, Rom turned his gaze to Miko with a mysterious smile.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Yotsuya Miko?"

Seeing Zi's slight frown, she was trying to find a way to rescue Xiao Hua. She was wary of this unfamiliar young man. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, the three of them should have left long ago.

However, considering that this person was related to Granny Sanzhi, Jianzi did not say much.

In fact, if it were anyone else, she and Xiaohua would have made the same decision.

She nodded slightly to Rom as a greeting, then continued to look worriedly in Xiaohua's direction.

Of all those present, she was the only one who could see it clearly.

The divine creature was agile and enormous, moving with incredible speed and without clumsiness. It wrapped its long body around Hua, and its numerous tails bombarded her relentlessly, shattering the stone slabs in front of the shrine and leaving them pitted and uneven.

The divine being was clearly wary of Xiao Hua, seemingly fearing the life energy within her.

Because Xiao Hua could not see clearly, he could only rely on his intuition to fight. He could defend himself with a set of wild punches, but unfortunately he could not break through for a long time.

"Miss Yotsuya, would you be interested in joining forces with me?" Just as she was feeling anxious, Rom's voice came through the phone. He smiled and said:

"For example, what if we killed this guy who's called a god?"

Seeing that Zi looked slightly taken aback, but surprisingly, she did not find these words particularly offensive at all. She remained extremely calm, as if she were listening to something insignificant.

She turned to look at Rom, standing gracefully without saying a word.

But Granny Saegusa was extremely angry, feeling that this boy was pushing Miko towards the crater and bewitching her to her death.

She retorted angrily, "I disagree! Rom, humans can never defeat the 'Mountain God'."

"Grandma Saegusa, even now, do you still consider Miss Yurikawa and Miss Yotsuya to be normal human beings?"

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Twenty-Four: Yuzuru Nishimiya's Wish

Rom looked at Yotsuya Miko with a half-smile.

He learned some interesting information from Yuria, such as the person who appeared in the infirmary and whom Miko greatly respected.

Seeing that Zi remained calm and composed, Rom, who had been watching her closely, was somewhat disappointed.

"Rom, what are you talking about!" Granny Sanzhi shouted in a deep voice. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, how could there have been so much trouble?

"Isn't my meaning clear enough?" Rom's words carried a deeper meaning.

Seeing that Zi was very straightforward, he said, "Let me hear what you have to do first."

Rom chuckled, "Does this mean Miss Yotsuya has agreed?"

"Because I'm more worried about Hua's safety."

Seeing that Xiao Hua's once energetic movements had become somewhat slow, Zi noticed that Xiao Hua's movements had slowed down.

Because the two divine messengers were silently chanting incantations, they stood quietly in the void. As long as the mountain god did not die, they could be resurrected indefinitely. At this moment, they seemed to be influencing Xiao Hua in the dark.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the flame of life within Xiaohua's body has dimmed somewhat.

"Seeing the child..." Granny Sanzhi was still somewhat worried. Even finding a true psychic was difficult, so how could they possibly fight against a god who was even more powerful than a psychic?

Yotsuya Miko's expression remained calm.

In this urgent situation, Rom didn't go into too much detail, but pointed directly to the shrine and said, "There should be a sealed object inside. Destroying it will kill the 'Mountain God'."

"Should?" Jianzi frowned, the word filled with uncertainty.

Rom readily admitted, "It was my deduction."

He visited this place years ago, and now, after many years of travel, he hasn't come away empty-handed.

"It's that simple?"

“Even a god, a life that has something to rely on, is actually quite fragile,” Rom said.

Not to mention that this mountain god was not a conventional deity, but a man-made one. Unfortunately, despite consulting numerous documents, he was unable to find out why such a deity was created.

But rather than a mountain god, it is more like an ancient, resentful evil spirit disguised as a deity.

The wishes made will never be fulfilled; only the soul will be taken away.

So instead of believing in mountain gods, it's better to believe in shooting stars from outer space.

At least shooting stars won't hurt people.

“Okay, sure!” Jian Zi’s eyes were firm.

“I will be traveling with Miss Yotsuya.” Rom removed his magician’s hat and bowed, appearing extremely gentlemanly, and smiled slightly.

Seeing that Zi glanced at him, he stepped forward, avoiding the battleground between Xiao Hua and the Mountain God.

She pretended to be passing by, trying her best not to make any noise, worried that going too fast would cause a disturbance.

"I...I want to go too!" Just then, an untimely, timid voice came from behind the two of them.

“Yuriya!” Granny Sanzhi’s pupils shrank suddenly as she looked at Yuriya, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time. Yuriya’s face was resolute, and it was unclear how much she had heard.

Grandma Sanzhi's aged face was instantly filled with anger.

"Rom, you bastard!" She went straight up and punched Rom, but the old woman was weak and, even if she was full of anger, it was nothing to a young man.

Rom ignored the panting Granny Sane and smiled at Yuri.

Although she is Yoria and a psychic, compared to everyone else present, she seems utterly pathetic.

Even Miss Yurikawa seemed to be able to sense the presence of the divine messenger.

However, even trash has its advantages... Ah, I'm not saying that this lovely Miss Yoria is trash.

Rather, the fact that she couldn't see the mountain god meant that his attacks would be ineffective against her, since even within the barrier, there was still a boundary between the spirit world and reality.

Isn't this a good thing?

In short, Rom agreed immediately.

"If you can complete this task even before Ichiko, perhaps that lord will look upon you favorably," Rom said with a mysterious wink and a smile.

Yulia's face flushed red, and she was immediately excited: "I, I will definitely try my best."

She quickly walked towards the shrine, and Granny Saegusa had no time to stop her.

She glared at Rom, who smiled slightly. "Even if something unexpected happens, the sacrificial robe you're wearing should be able to protect Youlia, right? After all, she has no connection to this place and is your disciple, isn't she?"

The three walked one after the other, with Rom at the very back. He seemed the most relaxed, but his palms were already sweating.

He prayed in his heart, praying that everything would go smoothly.

The cries for help that have continued for hundreds of years in this deep mountain will end at this moment.

But fate had other plans. The distance was not long to begin with, and after walking several dozen steps, the boy suddenly stopped.

She stood frozen in place. The ancestral hall was just a step away from her; she could step onto it.

But he couldn't take that step.

Because a divine being appeared before her.

Its slender body coiled on the ground, its head tilted back and its four-lobed mouth opened, revealing eight rows of sharp teeth like saw blades. But from its mouth stretched out a row of arms, each arm adorned with a bell that jingled.

Seeing that the child was inexplicably suppressed in place.

She suddenly understood.

She saw things most clearly, therefore, the mountain god could exert his full power on her.

That was far more powerful than when facing Xiao Hua.

The evil spirits that were originally located deep in the mountains also appeared here one by one, standing near Miko and sizing her up.

The divine creature lowered its head, its enormous head obscuring the sky.

Jiang Jianzi swallowed the whole thing.
