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

Yuria suddenly asked, "Kimi, do you want to save the world?"

Seeing Zi frown deeply, staring intently at Youliya.

What are you trying to say?

"Perhaps the only way to save the world is to send you to heaven."

All gods, come swiftly to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will be punished in Fengdu: Chapter Twenty: Serve me as you would a god.

Miko Yotsuya didn't know how to view Yūria.

She is no longer the naive and arrogant girl she once was.

Once Zi realized this, she traveled to various places, determined to gain greater power before the turmoil arrived, but she neglected Yuria.

The corruption of Yoria is irreversible; she fell into depravity by looking at things she shouldn't have seen, and even Kagura Tendo is powerless to stop it.

How did she spend her time in that dark room?

The mirror had already reflected her true form; how could anyone accept such a horrific scene and truth?

This is extremely damaging to the mind and is the cruelest form of punishment.

According to her mother, Yuria has been doing this for a long time. She has been hiding here without sleep or rest, only eating the bare minimum each day to keep herself from starving to death.

What was she thinking in the darkness, and what changes were she going through?

It was because she pleaded with Kagura Tendou to save Yoriya that this miracle occurred.

The spiritual healer's strength allows her to maintain her humanity and self in her current situation.

But isn't that a sad thing for her?

Seeing that Kagura hadn't really agreed with her approach, and that living was a torment for Yoriya.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Yoriya said to Miko.

She was once vain, craved recognition, and had a fervent curiosity about the mysterious world.

But now she has fallen to this state, with those evil whispers constantly echoing in her ears. She has learned of the taboos that no one knows, in the dark side of the deep sea, where the souls of all mankind are imprisoned, and where all spirits will eventually perish.

This is the truth of the world.

Humans live in hell, and everyone is a demon in disguise.

Those strange creatures that the gods called demons were actually her kind. She was also infected by a demon and became its servant, but in reality, she was not a servant of the demon.

All the power of demons originates from the abyss, and so does the power of gods.

Therefore, she can empathize with those demons and learn about the current state of the spirit world.

She still had the same girlish personality she had back then, not very mature or rational, so she didn't know how to face it and was tormented by the reality to the point of not being able to sleep.

But after a period of immense suffering.

She sensed Miko's arrival, so she went out of the room to convey something extremely important to Miko.

That means sending Miko to heaven!

"Kimi, if you really want to save me, then go to heaven!"

Yuria's way of doing things was completely different from before; she was indifferent and seemed like a numb person.

Just then, a low laugh came.

"I thought you would become a puppet of the abyss, hiding under the covers with your butt sticking out, trembling like a quail, forever living in fear and timidity. I never expected you would be able to muster the courage to say these words..."

It's Kuromiko.

She inadvertently learned what Miko was going through, and the words "going to heaven" startled her, so she turned her attention to it.

She's always been arrogant and haughty, able to belittle even a nobody, so it's easy to imagine that Youlia is even less than trash in her eyes. But now, this seemingly worthless person has actually uttered something extremely important.

In a sense, Yoria was closer to that world than she was, so it's not surprising that she could gain inspiration from it.

Miko didn't expect that Kuro Miko would run out at this moment.

Kuroko has a completely different personality and different ways of doing things, and she almost never shows her face.

She really didn't know what Kuroko would care about, except for Tendo Kagura, since she could even bring herself to harm Xiaohua.

Yuria looked at Miko and asked in confusion, "You are... Miko?"

She hadn't expected that there was another consciousness within Jianzi's body, and the mental fluctuations seemed somewhat familiar.

"That's right, I am Yotsuya Miko." There's no doubt about that; Yuriya does have a good eye.

Yuria continued, "We come from the same place."

"Let's just assume that's the case for now," Kuromiko said casually.

Both of them relied on external forces to preserve themselves, but compared to Yuria, she considered herself to be more noble. She was self-awakened, broke free from hell, and actively surfaced, while Yuria was caught in the net of Tendou Kagura and hung on the surface of the sea. Her own awareness was extremely low. If the mantra disappeared, she would only last for three seconds before falling and sinking to the bottom again.

Yuria shook her head and murmured, "The probability of going to heaven is extremely low. Humans simply cannot achieve this condition. But after meeting you, I now feel that meeting you really can get me to heaven."

Kuroko's dialogue is a mental one, but Yuria's is a normal conversation.

Upon hearing this, Jianzi was stunned. It turned out that Youlia did not think highly of her.

“That’s inevitable!” Kuromiko said with certainty.

When a spiritualist reaches a certain point on their path, this situation is bound to occur. It is impossible to continue to allow the personality to split, otherwise it will be impossible to advance to the next stage.

This is the answer that Kuroko found in the spiritual treasure, concerning the subsequent path of a spiritual master, which requires the fulfillment of the soul.

In fact, Miko also felt the same way; Kuro Miko's existence was a threat to her.

Sooner or later, they will determine the winner, but not now; they will have to wait until a crucial moment.

Yurikawa Hana didn't hear who Yoriya was talking to, but honestly raised her hand and asked, "What does 'going to heaven' mean? It doesn't mean you want Miko to die!"

As she spoke, her expression turned serious.

To save the world by killing one person? √

Is that person Jianzi? ×

“It’s not what Hua thinks,” Jianzi said softly. As a spiritualist, she roughly understood what Yuria meant by paradise.

Humans live in hell.

Myōken-no-sūtra also said something similar: that humans are all potential demons, and that gods originate from demons. This is actually a very clear logical chain.

She had seen the headless statue of the Holy Son, and the angels were not benevolent and holy, but terrifying creatures; one could only imagine what the legendary Heaven was like.

Whether heaven exists has been a topic of ongoing debate among mortals throughout history.

But Kanko believed that if hell truly existed, then heaven, which embodies all of humanity's beautiful fantasies, must also exist as its counterpart.

She remembered what Kagura Tendo had told her.

Heaven comes from hell.

How do I get to heaven?

Kuroko had been hiding many things from her until now, when Yoriya had exposed them, and she needed Kuroko to give her an explanation.

"A mysterious path..." Kuroko said with a hint of amusement. Humans embark on the path to transcendence, using various means to make themselves lonely, and loneliness itself is a form of tempering. Spiritual growth is paramount. From that spiritual treasure, she glimpsed the great power of a late-stage spiritual master, enough to rewrite the world.

"For Yotsuya Miko, going to heaven is extremely simple. When the path of the spiritual teacher comes to an end, that is when Yotsuya Miko will go to heaven."

“Yuri, you’re tormented to the point of not being able to sleep peacefully, right? Then try calling my name. This name can bring you a sense of peace like never before.”

"Place your hopes in this name. Serve me as you would serve God!"

Kuroko was laughing unrestrainedly.

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! Those who disobey will be punished in Fengdu: Chapter Twenty-One: He who recites my true name will be reborn with eternal life.

Seeing his son's eyebrows twitching, he angrily said, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

But when she saw Yuria's eyes, which seemed to be interested, she sensed something was wrong.

Does this guy think he's a god?!

Although Kuromiko does indeed share the same origin as those gods.

But she disagreed, and had never had the idea of ​​becoming a god; Kuromiko could not represent her position.

"So you want her to live in fear day and night? Miko Yotsuya, you're being too selfish." Miko Kuromiko grinned and directly pinched Miko's weak spot, causing her to freeze in shock.

"You're using a fallacy to mislead us," Miko said, frowning. It wasn't that she disagreed, but Miko's statement was unacceptable to her.

Moreover, she herself didn't really believe it.

Can reciting Yuria's true name truly ward off madness?

Or does the name Yotsuya Miko really have such power?

She asked another version of herself, but received no answer.

Meanwhile, Kuroko scoffed in her mental world. How could she possibly tell Miko the truth? It wasn't the power of Yotsuya Miko, but that spiritual treasure.

It resides within Miko's body, placed there by Tendou Kagura herself, and in a sense, it also suppresses her inner world.

After studying it for many days, Kuroko also gained an understanding of its wonderful uses.

Yuria shares a spiritual connection with the bizarre and must constantly endure attacks of madness.

If she recites her true name and prays sincerely, establishing a subtle connection, she can also transfer some of the power of the spiritual treasure as a spiritual talisman, which can, to a certain extent, exempt her from those strange things.

Of course, Kuroko hadn't originally planned to do this, but today she felt that Kuroko was very useful. The fact that Kuroko could bring up the idea of ​​going to heaven showed that she had a deep understanding of the abyss.

If a master-servant relationship is truly established, with Yotsuya Miko becoming Yūria's pillar of support, it's like having another subordinate who might prove useful in the future.

Miko didn't have that idea, but if it could help Yuria, she didn't need to refuse.

However, she was also a psychic and didn't think she had that ability at all.

Jianzi and Xiaohua did not stay long; after observing Youliya's condition, they left.

Yuria didn't see them off. She sat on the soft bed, Kuroko's words echoing in her mind. Without much hesitation, Yuria silently recited them in her heart.

"Yitani Miko... Yotsuya Miko..."
