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

Her mind went blank at first; she couldn't remember anything, there was no excessive panic or extreme fear, nothing at all, until she realized the truth...

She rushed over, crying out in anguish, "Grandma!"

"In conclusion, don't stay up late anymore. From now on, live well with Shoko."

Familiar voices came from her, and Yuzuru Nishimiya subconsciously looked up. She saw her mother-in-law sitting up, speaking to her gently with a peaceful expression, just as always.

She passed through Yuzuru's body, got out of bed, and headed out of the room.

Yuzuru stared blankly, "Grandma, where are you going?"

But the mother-in-law didn't turn around or answer; she simply turned and left.

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Thirty-Eight: Emerging from the Cocoon

Nishimiya Yuzuru felt a chill run through her body. As soon as her mother-in-law's figure disappeared outside the door, she rushed out as well, but only managed to catch a glimpse of her back as she walked away through the door.

Awakened by the earlier commotion, Nishimiya's mother, still in her pajamas, opened the door and saw Nishimiya Yuzuru running barefoot into the entryway. She flung the door open frantically, frowning and asking sternly, "Yuzuru, what are you doing!"

But Nishimiya Yuzuru didn't reply. Instead, she struggled to open the door while anxiously calling out, "Grandma, wait for me!"

Then, she seemed to go after someone.

Mother Nishimiya was puzzled. She turned her head and looked over. Wasn't her mother still lying in bed?

But when she saw the unconscious old man, she swayed violently, leaned against the wall, and slid down.

Dusk, the hour of twilight.

The light dimmed, and a layer of darkness enveloped the sky. She ran quickly through the streets, her shadow stretching far into the twilight, but with each step she took, her heart grew heavier.

Because the old woman in front of her was quickly putting distance between them. Although she was still walking slowly as before, the old woman's steps were slow, but now her speed was astonishing, as if she was floating forward, heading towards a pillar of light that reached the sky.

Sure enough, it was the spirit of her mother-in-law.

It was the middle of the night, and no one would be wandering outside anymore. She ran as fast as she could to catch up with her mother-in-law's spirit, and she didn't feel tired at all.

During this process, Nishimiya Yuzuru also saw other elderly people pouring into the main road from all directions, like lost souls heading in the same direction.

Nishimiya Yuzuru was shocked and furious. This was definitely not normal. Who was responsible for this?

"Grandma!" she called out, trying to wake her lost mother-in-law with her voice, but to little avail. Her mother-in-law seemed to be possessed and ignored her.

Yuzuru Nishimiya gritted her teeth and continued to chase. She had an extremely strong personality. Although she was momentarily distracted, she quickly regained her senses and still held a sliver of hope in her heart.

But soon, she arrived in front of a pillar of light.

This is a pillar of light, several meters in diameter, standing on the ground, radiating an indescribable feeling.

It leads to the universe, seemingly linking to a mysterious world.

This is also the first time that Nishimiya Yuzuru has seen the original form of the pillar of light. In the past, they were always far apart, and some things had not yet been announced, so it was unclear whether it was good or evil.

She dared not get too close, fearing an accident might occur.

But now, she had no choice but to come in person because a close relative had been implicated in this inexplicable incident.

Instead, it was a park teeming with people, all elderly evil spirits who had gathered there as if summoned, before quickly disappearing into the pillar of light.

Among the many figures, she quickly spotted her mother-in-law, who radiated a holy light, kind and benevolent, clearly different from some of the evil spirits that had begun to fall.

But they share the same fate, rushing together into that thick pillar of light, as if to atone for their sins.

Nishimiya Yuzuru witnessed the fate of many ghosts. As soon as they entered the pillar of light, they all disappeared, their bodies turning into specks of light, as if purified or as a kind of sublimation, as if they had merged into the pillar of light.

Is this the path to heaven?

"No!"

Various speculations surfaced in Nishimiya Yuzuru's mind, but she didn't have time to think about them in detail. Her instincts told her that this was definitely not a good thing. How could she just watch her grandmother walk in like that?

She rushed over in one stride, leaped into the air, and reached out to grab her mother-in-law's arm to pull her back.

brush!

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who was flying in mid-air, looked astonished.

She clearly felt that she had touched something, but it was like a hand reaching into water. No matter how hard she gripped it, she couldn't grasp the spirit because she couldn't interfere with another world.

Because she used too much force, she fell to the ground with a thud, looking extremely disheveled, and even scraped her chin until it bled.

But Yuzuru Nishimiya ignored the physical pain. She lay on the ground and saw that her mother-in-law had stopped walking. The old woman seemed to sense something and was no longer confused. She looked at Yuzuru, her kind face now smiling kindly, warm and caring, just as always.

“Grandma…” Yuzuru looked up at her grandmother’s smile, murmuring as her eyes blurred and the whole world seemed to become hazy.

"Don't be sad, Yuzuru. This is the call of fate. I felt that power. All living beings are sinful, and death is inevitable..." The old woman comforted Yuzuru with a cheerful smile. She was an extremely rare benevolent spirit, similar to Miko's father. Even after death, she could maintain her sanity and never fell into depravity.

"Let's go back together." Yuzuru choked up. For humans, if the spirit leaves, can the body still live?

"No, Xiaojie, Grandma is old and can no longer accompany you. Grandma... her time has come." Grandma Nishimiya was very open-minded. She had squinty eyes, was often cheerful, and had neat short white hair, which also influenced Nishimiya Yuzuru.

"I don't believe it!" Yuzuru said angrily. Her mother-in-law was in good health, how could she suddenly be nearing the end of her life, especially at this time?

"Who is trying to harm you!"

Overwhelmed by negative emotions, her delicate face darkened.

"No one is trying to harm me, Yuzuru. You are a very strong child. Take good care of Shoko. Grandma can no longer be with you." Now that all the spirits have disappeared into the pillar of light, it is time for her to embark on this path as well.

Yuzuru noticed her mother-in-law turning around. She desperately reached out and grabbed forward, but it was all in vain. How could a pair of fleshy hands possibly touch a spirit?

Finally, she watched helplessly as her mother-in-law also disappeared into the pillar of light, turning into a rain of light and ascending into the sky, like the first rays of dawn falling down.

"Waaah!" Nishimiya Yuzuru sobbed. She had always been strong, but now tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

These are her closest relatives. Her father abandoned the family because of Shoko, and her mother had to shoulder the burden of the family alone. She was unable to take care of her and her sister. It was her grandmother who took care of her and Shoko as they grew up, from the time she could remember until now.

"Grandma, come back!"

She was screaming, and her shadow was screaming too; they resonated with each other at that moment!

The shadow was darker than ever before, as if it were teeming with a terrifying monster, constantly struggling to transform and sublimate.

It roared, a burst of dark power that enveloped Nishimiya Yuzuru from the ground!

The boundary between day and night is not the best environment, but it is by no means an impenetrable one. It is only because of this intense emotion and will that the monster, which has been gestating for a long time, finally breaks out of its cocoon.

She stood up, firmly planted on the earth, proclaiming the birth of a new extraordinary being.

The monster roars, and it will surely keep the nights of this world from ever finding peace!

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Murderer

"Give me back my mother-in-law!"

Her entire body was uniformly dark, lacking any sense of depth, like a silhouette without any thickness.

The monster, which had been gestating for many days, finally awoke. Her right upper limb transformed into a sharp blade, formed from dark power, and in her rage, she cleaved down at the thick pillar of light.

The power of darkness is all-encompassing and extremely destructive.

Her attack was effective, causing the giant pillar of light to dim for a moment and sway.

But this unusual activity was also noticed by the spirits that existed in this place.

Because this is a critical moment, the gods are drawing upon the spirit world from the depths, sending out all their subordinate gods not only to help them escape, but also to stabilize the situation.

With the return of the spirit world, the place of ascension is of paramount importance. Who would dare to defy the world and attack such a forbidden place?

Even those powerful beings who had sworn enmity with the gods knew the gravity of the situation and dared not do such a thing.

Myoken-no-Mikoto, located at Chiba Shrine, was puzzled, but he did not hesitate and quickly appeared here through the spirit world.

Upon seeing Nishimiya Yuzuru, he was immediately surprised.

What is this...?

Nishimiya Yuzuru wanted to chop again, like a lumberjack swinging his axe. If he did it a few more times, he might actually be able to destroy the place of ascension.

Myoken-no-Zun appeared deep within the pillar of light, unleashing a divine power that swept across the area, sending Nishimiya Yuzuru flying. After somersaulting several times in mid-air, he crashed into a tree and broke it.

But she was extremely agile; she was able to stand after landing, and despite being shrouded in darkness, she was unharmed.

"Why did you break the taboo!" Myoken-no-sama's voice was extremely majestic and sacred.

Nishimiya Yuzuru pointed her sharp blade at the hundred-armed figure floating in the pillar of light, and said with extreme grief and indignation, "Is it you who killed my mother-in-law!"

Myoken was taken aback at first, but then he immediately understood. This person had lost his loved ones and must have witnessed their spirits disappear here, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry.

But he lacked human emotions, was incapable of empathy, and, having witnessed countless deaths, genuinely felt that this was no big deal.

He wasn't one to take the blame, so he said, "It wasn't me."

"Who is that!" Nishimiya Yuzuru persisted.

“It cannot be spoken…” Myoken sighed.

He had some insight and knew why this disaster had occurred; very few gods could orchestrate such a major event.

Most of his family's ancestral spirits can't participate; they can only observe, making it difficult for him to answer.

If someone is blamed, who will be held responsible?

At that time, even the gods will have to take the initiative to distance themselves from him, for fear of getting burned.

“Considering your youth, I will not make things difficult for you. Please leave now,” said Myoken-no-Mikoto.

I could tell she was a young girl, or as humans would say, a blonde brat. I figured I'd just give her a warning for no reason and that would be it.

The place of ascension is special, located in the spirit realm, and only extraordinary beings can cause damage. But so far, apart from those awakened great supernatural beings, there should be no extraordinary beings left.

Could it be the effect of some ancient artifact?

This possibility cannot be ruled out. Countless artifacts have existed throughout history, and apart from the difficulty of manufacturing, they have no other drawbacks.

But that's not why he was willing to let Nishimiya Yuzuru off the hook.
