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

The Chifeng troops originally stationed in the south had all withdrawn several days ago and needed to cooperate with the collective, having already achieved a spiritual consensus.

"Don't come back after you leave this world!" Zifeng's eyes were cold; this person might interfere with Donglan's condition.

The presence of beings similar to prophets would give her a glimmer of hope that doesn't even exist.

But how could Donglan cooperate with Chifeng if she didn't completely despair?

Tendou Kagura realized this wasn't a threat, but a warning, and like Donglan, she calmly asked, "Why!"

Zifeng said coldly, "The boundaries of the world have become blurred. Before long, all life will no longer be able to live freely. If you don't want to fall into the abyss with us and never be able to turn back, then don't come next time."

"What is the Chaos Mist?" Tendou Kagura pressed.

But Zifeng didn't answer him again, appearing very indifferent.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his steps firm, showing no sign of wavering or fear.

Kagura Tendou didn't feel embarrassed, nor did she become angry or develop any aversion towards Akahō.

Ultimately, mutual help is just an ideal state. The current Chifeng has no obligation to help other worlds. They don't even care about their own people. People like Donglan are just a few who can still have a kind heart in the desolate apocalypse.

He raised his head, his dark eyes opening as he gazed at the sky.

When he first descended, his dark eyes could pierce through layers of mist and look directly at the sun.

But now it's no longer possible. Even if he pushes the power of the Dark Eyes to its limit, his vision can no longer penetrate that thick fog, as if the whole world has fallen into chaos.

"Is this the end of the world...?"

Tendou Kagura subconsciously pulled up the system panel, but there were no prompts on it.

What was his purpose in coming into this world?

Arrival, salvation...

He gained a lot of information here, but is such a world still worth his efforts?

Kagura Tendou didn't know, but he could see that all the Akabane were in an extreme situation. For some unknown goal, they were willing to give up their own lives, carry out a reign of terror, slaughter their own kind, and abandon their personality and dignity in order to maintain their final plan.

He didn't even know how he truly felt about Chifeng...

Perhaps I shouldn't remain indifferent.

Tendou Kagura left the fortress and boarded a military transport vehicle that was about to depart.

Many soldiers sat in the vehicles with their eyes closed, fully equipped and ready to go. It was hard to say whether they were numb or indifferent, but they gave the impression that they didn't care about anything.

When they saw that Kagura Tendou had also come up, they didn't ask any questions. They silently lowered their heads to check the weapons, assuming that he was a hidden agent of the Red Blade.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Twenty-One: Breaking the Promise [Second Update]

After traveling for dozens of miles, Tendou Kagura got off the vehicle with the soldiers and arrived at a coastal mountain range.

The terrain here is high, with steep cliffs overlooking the sea, making it a natural fortress.

The view from the top was expansive, stretching as far as the eye could see to the boundless sea. What was once azure was now utterly filthy, the water a mixture of scarlet, dark blue, and other hues, a sight that made one feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous. A strong stench permeated the air, and numerous corpses, dressed in dark yellow uniforms, floated on the surface, mushy and unrecognizable.

Below was a battlefield, a scene of devastation. The beach, stained red with blood, stretched for dozens of miles along the coastline. The entire vast beach was completely untouched, filled with smoke, the ground scorched black, and the sand almost burned into crystals. Many lives lay buried here.

The evil gods, red-winged creatures, and sea demons that ordinary people talk about are all categorized by the prophet as flesh-and-blood monsters.

During the resistance era, the shadow creatures were unpredictable and untouchable; if you saw one, you could just wait to die. The flesh creatures, on the other hand, were the biggest threat and could be known to ordinary people.

If enough flesh-and-blood monsters are killed in the same place, a thing called a solidified blood body will be born at the point where blood converges and exchanges.

This thing is a fixed essence of blood, so it was named this way. Although it conforms to the naming habits of humans in the Second Node World, the name makes Kagura Tendo feel it's very corny.

The method of use is as follows: place the solidified blood body on the chest, allowing it to sense the heartbeat and resonate with the user. The solidified blood body will adjust its frequency over the next 24 hours, during which the user will experience slight heart spasms. Eventually, the solidified blood body will transform into pure energy and merge into the user's body, completely changing the user's constitution.

However, if the user does not have the aptitude of a warrior, the modification process will be extremely painful, equivalent to scraping the bone and peeling off the skin. If the user cannot maintain normal rationality during the process, the user's body will be mutated and degenerate into an out-of-control beast.

An army of about nine hundred men had long been stationed here, and they had built a complete defensive position. However, after several rounds of attacks, they had suffered heavy losses. The transport convoy that Tendou Kagura had accompanied was there to replenish their forces. But he found that there were very few wounded soldiers here.

Kagura Tendou met the commander here, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, gray hair, and wearing a neat bright yellow uniform. However, he could not hide the haggard look on his face, wrinkles around his eyes, and his brows were always furrowed. He was only in his early fifties but looked like he was seventy.

When he met Kagura Tendou, his first words were: "You're not one of Akabane's people, are you?"

“Yes, I’ve come to support you.” Kagura Tendo nodded slightly, looking at his badge.

He knew a little about the resistance and vaguely knew that this man seemed to be a general.

"We don't need any support here, you can go back!" He was very authoritative when he put on a stern face, even though he knew that Kagura was an ability user. He had the air of a superior, as steady as a mountain, but he was not disliked.

Ignoring his dismissive attitude, Kagura glanced around, finding no other ability users, and asked, "Has Akabane abandoned this place?"

"That's right!"

"I still have some fighting strength," Kagura Tendou said quietly. Akabane was making a big move, seemingly starting his final operation to collect all the ability users, even abandoning the South China Sea.

In despair, ordinary people live numbly, not even knowing when they will die.

Chi Feng, however, continued to work methodically and consistently, his demeanor and gaze perfectly aligned, making him seem like a unified whole.

The army here was also silent; everyone was utterly despondent.

"We can protect them to the very end!" The general was unmoved, staring straight at Tendou Kagura.

Tendou Kagura remained calm: "For ordinary people, dealing with monsters is tantamount to suicide."

"Then they can be considered to have died at the hands of the monsters, in order to protect the land behind them!" The general's attitude was extremely sharp and forceful.

He initially thought the general was just being stubborn with Chi Feng, but Tendou Kagura quickly realized that the general harbored no resentment towards Chi Feng, only a calmness—a calmness born of utter despair.

His assertiveness stemmed from his personality; he was born with this military character and spent his entire life striving.

In the end, Kagura Tendo revealed the truth.

"I hope to get some solid blood here."

Akabane no longer needs resources, but Tendou Kagura has never seen Akabane's stockpile of mysterious items; they are all gone, likely consumed. Akabane is quietly accumulating power.

There was no resource exchange between him and Chifeng, and Zifeng rejected his request, so he had no choice but to come and hunt the flesh-and-blood monsters himself.

Moreover, Donglan also said that these things might be useful to him.

The general asked coldly, "What's the use of that thing?!"

"I want to take them back to my world." Kagura Tendo sighed softly. He was extremely pessimistic about the future of the real world, so he collected as many mysterious items as possible that could unlock the mysterious door, which could be considered as preparation.

"And I can give you some supplies, anything will do, missiles, tanks, fighter jets..." Kagura Tendo said, her head bowed.

He doesn't need the ordinary army's permission to hunt flesh-and-blood monsters here; Chi Feng has tacitly approved of it.

But when Tendou Kagura looked at the points on the panel, she always wanted to do something.

The general stared at him for a long time, then finally beckoned to his personal guards, who brought out a well-sealed metal box.

He took out the key, inside which was a solidified blood body, and then tossed it to Tendou Kagura.

The solidified blood body is about the size of a thumb and looks a lot like a magatama. It is formed from the solidified essence of monster blood. It is crystal clear and its texture is even more transparent than the finest red wine. It is like a beautiful gemstone. Even in a dim environment, it seems to reflect a faint red light.

"After Chifeng withdrew, we only managed to collect one!" This thing is very difficult to collect. The flesh-and-blood monsters value it more than their own lives. The battlefield is ever-changing, and most solidified blood bodies are devoured by other flesh-and-blood monsters as soon as they are born.

The flesh-and-blood monsters are incredibly resilient; they can survive even when cut in half. If they devour a solidified blood body, they can evolve into an even stronger monster, while the other half will become a new flesh-and-blood monster.

Furthermore, in order to solidify their bloodline, these flesh-and-blood monsters will even kill each other, all for the purpose of evolution.

To avoid the emergence of evolved, fleshy monsters, humans have always seized these things with the courage of pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Tendou Kagura was somewhat surprised to find that there were still solidified blood bodies left here: "Don't you use these?"

The conditions for using solidified blood are not strict, and as a mysterious substance, it is very precious to ordinary people, so they should use it whenever possible.

Having an extra person with special abilities can alleviate a lot of pressure.

"No need!" the general said coldly. He was a general, but he never thought of becoming a power user, especially after Shang Yang's death. So what if he opened the mysterious door?

By then, it will all be over.

All of humanity's pain, confusion, and sorrow will come to an end.

The old general looked up at the increasingly heavy gray clouds.

On a planetary scale, a few hundred meters above the ground is almost negligible.

The chaotic fog was already very close to the surface of the earth.

His aged face was extremely calm, and the nasolabial folds on his face looked as if they were carved in stone, untouched by the vicissitudes of time.

Shangyang...

We are willing to die on the battlefield to defend humanity's last land. Even if we lose our spirit and soul, we will use our stiff and numb bodies to withstand the attack and keep our final promise.

But... you broke your promise!

Those who break my heart shall die: Chapter Twenty-Two: The Second Kind of Family

"If there are any remaining solid blood bodies in the future, you can take them with you," the old general said to Tendou Kagura.

Strictly speaking, this general wasn't old, but what was truly tragic was his despair. His soul had long since become a ruin, devoid of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and devoid of laughter. His dark eyes exuded a sense of deathly stillness.

However, when he learned that Tendo Kagura was a being similar to a prophet, his attitude softened somewhat.

Upon hearing his words, Tendou Kagura asked curiously, "Does Akabane not reclaim the solidified blood body?"

This is also an extremely important resource, and it rightfully belongs to them.

"No one from Chifeng will come again. They have abandoned all humanity, and they have abandoned this place," the old general said calmly. He knew the truth, and cruelly put it, only Chifeng truly deserved to be called Chifeng; ordinary soldiers were not Chifeng, but merely consumable resources.

Although Chifeng ruled Chifeng Fortress, he did not truly manage it. The fortress was maintained by an army of ordinary people who met Chifeng's various demands.

Kagura Tendo finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are they doing?"

"Them, you mean Chifeng? You're wrong, you should ask Chifeng what he wants to do."

This is a well-known name, a person's name, and also the name of a knife.
