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

Suzuka didn't make a fuss; she simply gazed at Tendo Kagura's retreating figure, her heart devoid of joy or sorrow, her small face utterly calm.

This surprised Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Kagura's cold departure was within her expectations, but Suzuka's reaction was not what she expected.

"Don't hate him..." Hiratsuka Shizuka trailed off, unsure how to continue. She only knew a small part of the story and was unaware of the full details; everything was based on her trust in her student.

“I don’t hate him.” Suzuka Ise shook her head.

After a while, she murmured again, "My brother is very good to me. He has always respected me. It's just that I have so few choices."

She seemed to have matured a lot suddenly, and her words were calm and indifferent.

Some things I didn't want to understand suddenly became clear at this moment.

She was too weak, so weak that she couldn't even protect the life she wanted.

What she cherished was shattered, and what she longed for could never be fulfilled.

When a person is at their weakest, the whole world is filled with malice, and even good is seen as evil.

Suzuka Ise suddenly asked, "Aunt Hiratsuka, is life always this painful?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt as if she had been pierced by a thousand arrows. She wanted to nod and say yes.

She is in a lot of pain right now.

But after thinking for a moment, she said, "First, don't call me Auntie. You can call me Sister Jing, or Teacher Hiratsuka."

She stated her position very seriously: the former refers to age, the latter to occupation; Ye Zi is the aunt, and she is at most a caring older sister.

"Secondly, life is not all suffering, of course; there are also many beautiful aspects."

"Is that so?" Suzuka Ise remained noncommittal.

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Suzuka in front of her was completely different from the Suzuka she had first met. The Suzuka before was timid and ignorant, but the Suzuka now had become cold and indifferent. She attributed this to the fact that this incident had been too much of a blow to Suzuka.

There are some things that bystanders cannot advise on, because human emotions cannot be shared.

Suzuka showed neither joy nor sorrow; she clenched her little fists tightly.

She wanted to transcend the malice of this world!

……

Kagura Tendou heard wailing, sorrow, and despair.

He stood atop Mount Everest, amidst howling winds and snow. His slender frame, clasped in his arms, resembled an ancient tree rooted in the land, standing tall and proud.

He was listening to humanity's despair, like a lament.

This was a catastrophe, and to this day, the death toll has exceeded one million.

The worst incident occurred on the other side of the world, in the dead of night, where thousands of people in a western town were eaten alive.

The world descended into chaos, and the gods descended. With no real power to resist, they regarded humans as prey, acting with impunity and seeking to devour the world.

Because life energy is extremely important to them, it is a precious resource and nourishment for future advancement.

The more they eat, the stronger they become, but once they start drawing blood, they may never be able to stop.

How wonderful the present world is for them.

The alarm bells had already rung, Suzuka had been settled, and it was time for him to take action.

"That's enough, let's stop. Don't say we didn't warn you!"

The Heavenly Dao Kagura uttered mysterious words, and its spiritual fluctuations instantly reached the entire Earth.

All the descending gods heard these words and stopped what they were doing, looking up at the sky in bewilderment, but they could not find the source of the words.

"This doesn't seem like the power of the gods?"

"Are they those powerful beings?"

"The gods of the spirit world have not returned. Even if those beings who are both human and god return, they will not be able to regain their power from their peak."

Is this an attempt to stop us?

"Such immense power! Are there still such powerful beings on Earth? The news has spread throughout the entire planet; perhaps it's time to stop..."

"With the great calamity imminent, I'm afraid there will never be another chance like this. If I can eat a few thousand more mortals, I can completely restore my divine body."

"The spirit realm has been gone for a thousand years. How could there still be powerful beings of the level of great supernatural beings in the human world? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't say you weren't warned... Are you serious?"

"So many gods have returned; do you think you can stop them all by yourself? Ridiculous! Even a great master couldn't do it!"

"Go ahead and give it a try."

Ultimately, many gods ignored this warning.

……

……

I had writer's block today, and had to keep revising and editing, plus some other things to do, which caused the late update. I apologize to everyone. I will update normally tomorrow.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu. Chapter Three: Do not say you were not warned.

The gods' attitudes ranged from contempt and arrogance to, more often than not, indifference. They did not believe that such a being should exist in the human world.

Those powerful beings who challenged the gods are no longer here.

They are more inclined to believe that someone deliberately spread this message using ancient artifacts left behind, in an attempt to bluff, and most likely because they cannot bear to see their kind suffer.

But in the eyes of these gods, it appears somewhat fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Wearing a tiger's skin does not make you a tiger.

To intimidate and deter them, to make them stop, you have to show your claws and demonstrate your strength first.

They have been walking among humans for thousands of years, what scenes haven't they seen?

It's really naive to think you can make them obey with just a few words.

Therefore, many gods disdain it.

On another land, at a famous restaurant, many people have come from far and wide. Now, with the arrival of a deity, they too have begun to eat.

This is an alien deity.

It has six arms and two wings, and black armor grows on its body. It is tall and ferocious, much like a legendary demon.

When that mysterious utterance proclaiming the existence of Earth was uttered, the entire restaurant was already a river of blood, and no one could escape. After it finished enjoying the delicious life before it, it went to a corner where there would be one last table of survivors.

This was clearly a family gathering, but they never expected to suffer such misfortune.

A not-so-handsome, overweight husband, an aging, faded wife, and a chubby boy of eleven or twelve years old—they were utterly terrified, their eyes filled with deep fear.

The family huddled together under the dining table, trembling so violently that the tableware fell off.

Terrified, they found themselves shedding tears, desperately praying to God that a superhero would descend from the heavens to punish the devil and save their family.

Tap, tap, tap...

The footsteps of death came from directly ahead, growing clearer and clearer, as if stepping on their hearts, drawing ever closer.

But when they peered under the tables, all they could see were tables stained with blood. Thick blood dripped from the corners of the tablecloths, pooling on the ground. They couldn't see the source of the footsteps, only sense that something was approaching.

near...

The footsteps disappeared.

For a moment, the husband's mind went blank. Suddenly, he sprang up like an enraged bull, shoving the table against his head and throwing it away.

But after a loud bang, nothing was hit.

The husband looked around blankly, then his head was sent flying like a baseball, propelling his body to crash into the wall, leaving only a mangled and deformed head visible outside the wall.

The wife stared blankly at her child floating in the air. The chubby, fair-skinned boy struggled incessantly, like a drowning fish, unable to utter a single word.

Then a liquid splashed out, and the wife felt something warm wet her face. Her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of blood red. The last thing she could see was a headless corpse floating in mid-air.

……

A demonic, otherworldly deity emerged from the restaurant, leaving behind complete silence.

It was in a good mood and sensed a significant increase in its internal strength.

The life energy of the human body, and the fear and hatred within the soul, are the foundation for the divine to become stronger.

At this moment, it understood to some extent why the gods were so unapproachable and the strongest beings in the spirit world.

Because the gods have always occupied the most important resources.

Since the beginning of time, gods have been worshipped by humankind day and night. The sacrificial practices prevalent in the primitive era were extremely barbaric, but they were the most devout prayers of our ancestors.

Aren't those ancient altars and temples that appeared in various places precisely because of the gods?

It was the power of thought of those primitive humans that elevated the gods to such a height, allowing their rule to last for thousands of years without ever being broken.

But things are different now.

The human world is thrown into turmoil by them, but the spirit world is also not at peace.

What followed was destined to be a period of great chaos.

The gods have no time to spare, and there are no enemies among humankind.

what does this mean?

Whoever can seize the opportunity and master the most powerful force before the return of the gods and those with great supernatural abilities will be able to step onto the stage of the new era.

A brand new era is beginning.

Even a thousand years ago, during the war of the gods, there was never such a change in the situation.

It was thrilled, thinking that this was not impossible. Becoming a god of the new era would certainly not be weaker than the gods, and might even be stronger than them, because there were far more lives on earth than in the distant past.

In this era, even getting a small share of the pie is better than ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Seize this opportunity!

The thought arose within it, and it strode forward, determined to feed again, even at the cost of countless lives, to ascend to that realm.
