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

In the history of this world, this name represents the prelude to the collapse of an empire and is a highly legendary figure.

Having lost his beloved, Chi Feng's blade will eventually pierce the silent darkness.

Looking into Kagura's bright eyes, the old general remained silent for a long time before saying, "When the Chaos Mist reaches the earth, they will summon that person from history, and in the face of despair, wield the crimson blade in their hand."

As a general and former high-ranking officer, he resisted the brainwashing of the Mind-Stealing Demon, sided with the resistance army, fought against the Flesh-and-Blood Demon, commanded the Great Migration, and participated in the operation to expel the Lord of the Wasteland...

He remains an ordinary person to this day, but many of his subordinates have become Red Vanguard soldiers, and I have some understanding of that.

"Did such a powerful figure really exist in your history?" Tendou Kagura asked in surprise. Could it be that Akabane in history was an unparalleled powerhouse?

“He is just an ordinary person.” The old general slowly shook his head: “Chifeng wants to give him mythical characteristics, to revive him from history, and to unleash a desperate blow once again.”

"Why must we summon that person?" Kagura Tendou didn't understand. Akabane had been dead for a thousand years and was just an ordinary person in life. Although he had accomplished earth-shattering things, it didn't mean that he was indispensable.

The resistance army is full of talented people, and Chi Feng is exceptionally gifted. In terms of strength alone, which one of them is not stronger than that person?

"As the prophet said, civilization belongs to history, and history is embedded in the foundation and runs through the entire world, from its beginning to its end. Although those people of the past have passed away, their figures live on in our memories, captivating countless hearts. They were mortals, but their legends wander the earth, resounding for centuries and millennia, traversing the long years, leaving their mark on our hearts..."

This is a special power, extremely strong and almost indestructible, because it originates from the human heart and is a kind of belief.

Countless people have idolized Chifeng since childhood.

In a sense, Chifeng represents a certain characteristic of human civilization.

But does this ethereal power really exist?

"It doesn't exist, but the prophet believes it does. It's just that the conditions for achieving it are too demanding, requiring all the key elements to be found. So he only mentioned it briefly, saying that there is a secret method to make it manifest. But no power comes from nothing," the old general said.

Tendou Kagura was stunned, increasingly convinced that Akabane had truly gone mad, actually doing such a thing.

Is the purpose of linking the spirits of all members together and achieving a tacit resonance to serve as a vessel for that person in history?

"Will it succeed?" Tendou Kagura was deeply shocked, having never heard of such a thing before.

"Does success or failure matter? I will lead all my troops to die here; this is the highest honor for us mortals!"

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

The system didn't provide any hints, so the Chaos Mist shouldn't be an Outer God.

"The Chaotic Entity is also known as the Mist of the End. The prophet once said that this mist would appear before every world completely collapses. It represents a corrupting force, which is equivalent to the world's rules being out of control. It is inconspicuous at first, but it spreads faster and faster."

"In the end, it will be able to engulf the entire world. Wherever it reaches, it means that all rules are invalidated, and the world will no longer be the world."

A fierce roar came from afar, noisy and chaotic.

The sea was boiling, and a huge, dark mass of things surged ashore with the waves.

"The flesh-and-blood monster has come ashore." Upon hearing the commotion, the old general pointed to the area of ​​the sea and said to Tendou Kagura.

"If you want a solidified blood body, you need to compete with fleshy monsters, which is something they also crave, signifying evolution and sublimation."

Kagura Tendou gazed at the distant coastline, her dark eyes activating to reveal a multitude of monsters—extremely terrifying creatures, the likes of which even she had never witnessed before.

They were soaking wet as they were coming ashore.

They come in all shapes and sizes, some covered in tentacles, some with protective shells like carapaces, and others wriggling and crawling like soft-bodied creatures. While they may not cause mental harm, seeing too many of them can easily give you nightmares.

[The retinue of the flesh-and-blood ruler]

That's the system message. This is another Outer God.

But it's hard to imagine how this thing evolved.

The only thing that cannot be ignored is the increasing sense of oppression as they move forward.

"They weren't like this at first, but their form changed later. The resistance confirmed that the sea had become their pasture. They were influenced by the ocean, devouring a large number of marine creatures, which caused their bodies to change as well." The flesh-and-blood monsters adapted extremely quickly.

In the depths of the ocean, they evolved and fought wildly, polluting the entire ocean like a virus. According to the resistance's speculation, the battle in the deep sea has not stopped to this day. Batch after batch of fleshy monsters died in battle, were conceived in flesh and blood, and died again, repeating this process.

The flesh-and-blood monsters now occupy 70% of the planet's surface and only slumber at night, otherwise they will attract the attention of the shadow monsters.

Because the latter will also hunt down any visible fleshy monsters.

Almost all the Shadow Creatures are assassination masters, capable of floating, teleporting, and amphibious operations. Their unique body structures allow them to move freely even in the deep sea, and because the deep sea is devoid of light, their combat power is actually enhanced.

But fleshy monsters are different; their lower limit is extremely low. Due to their biological structure and the pressure of the deep sea, they are almost unable to withstand shadow monsters.

In places unseen by humans, flesh-and-blood monsters are also hunted by shadow monsters.

All no-man's-lands are places where shadowy creatures roam.

Because Shangyang wanted to preserve its vitality, humans retreated to a corner, which allowed them to catch their breath.

In fact, although Chifeng said he suppressed the flesh-and-blood monsters, these were actually just a small, insignificant group of flesh-and-blood monsters that had come ashore from the ocean and were instinctively out hunting for food, and did not regard humans as adversaries.

Otherwise, if all the fleshy monsters from the ocean surged in together, it would be an absolute nightmare for humanity.

After listening to all the information, Tendou Kagura sighed softly, feeling that humanity was indeed hopeless.

Time is running out for the second node.

Will he have another chance to come?

As Tendou Kagura gazed at those bloody, grotesque creatures, he seemed to glimpse the future of the real world.

The monsters surged in like a tide, engulfing human settlements.

Tendou Kagura looked at the system panel and found it quite ironic.

What savior?

Ultimately, can he really live up to that title?

Kagura Tendou drew a meteorite from his spatial dimension and walked step by step toward the coast, leaving only a trail of faint footprints.

In the pitch-black world, he is the guardian of the grave.

What is he at the second node?

Kagura Tendou's pitch-black eyes were like black holes, but in the deepest darkness, two flames seemed to be burning intensely.

The old general silently watched Tendo Kagura's retreating figure, then raised his walkie-talkie and loudly proclaimed, "Everyone on high alert! Unleash the artillery barrage! Prepare armor-piercing weapons!"

……

Third update, please vote!

My performance wasn't good today, so I'll update with an extra chapter tomorrow.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Twenty-Three: Seeing my son enter the coffin—waiting to die

The boundaries of the second node are extremely blurred, making it impossible to distinguish who the outsiders are.

Tendou Kagura stayed there for more than two days, but the flesh-and-blood monsters rarely came ashore, and it was very quiet. The fighting also decreased accordingly, which was unimaginable before, because the resistance army and the Red Blade had both experienced a difficult period of continuous bloody battles.

But this doesn't mean it will be easy. Because of the lack of ability users, the human side has very weak resistance. Even if he rushes in, he can only hold off the initial offensive of the flesh-and-blood monsters. Once their numbers increase, they will inevitably be left behind in the rear.

The meteorite was a great help, allowing him to stop fighting the monsters with his bare hands.

During this time, he also obtained three solidified blood bodies. It has to be said that this thing is indeed very difficult to obtain. It requires going through a fierce battle, with nearly a thousand flesh and blood monsters dying together in a place where life flows, before there is a certain probability of it being conceived.

In the depths of the ocean, there are even more flesh-and-blood monsters, some of which can transform into human form, perhaps beyond his imagination.

He tried to step into the sea and rush into their nests, but ended up coming out in a sorry state, unable to gain any advantage or seize the fallen deep-sea solidified body.

I opened my eyes as usual; it was just getting light outside.

Today is Monday.

The second node is nearing its end. The pervasive chaotic fog signifies the complete collapse of the world, the breakdown and invalidation of all world rules, and its transformation into a pasture for the Outer Gods.

He had a premonition that if it were to descend again, it wouldn't be the second node, but an unknown and terrifying place.

Does such a place even need a final arrival?

Who knows, he might never come back...

……

"Brother, you seem very tired today," Suzuka asked during dinner.

"It's nothing," Tendo Kagura said calmly.

Even the Will of Fire couldn't withstand the blows of cruel reality. He felt powerless, but he didn't show it. He continued to cook and do housework as usual.

Seeing that Kagura Tendo didn't say anything, Suzuka Ise didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't ask for much; she just wanted a normal older brother to take good care of her. At worst, she could wash his sheets when she got too old to walk and had to poop in bed.

Kagura Tendo had no idea what Suzuka Ise was thinking.

He simply gave up the idea of ​​taking the day off; even if he had, he wouldn't know what to do.

I passed by Yotsuya's house.

After waiting for a long time, Miko walked out naturally. She was carrying a black shoulder bag, with a calm and elegant expression. She was wearing a white school uniform with a light yellow shirt over it. She stood gracefully with long, well-proportioned legs and a slender figure. She was an extremely charming JK (high school girl).

At this moment, she held the Shadow Crystal in her other hand, and after reuniting with Tendou Kagura, a barely perceptible sense of loss appeared on her face.

“I tried last night, but it didn’t work,” Jianzi said softly.

She drew the curtains, closed the door, turned off the lights, and covered herself with two more blankets. Then she lay straight inside, covering herself up completely, but she almost died of heat in the early summer.

Fortunately, she had a cold constitution and excellent mental fortitude, so she was able to remain calm and force herself not to move. After falling asleep in a daze, she found the next day that she had not been able to absorb the crystals.

And his sleeping posture is a bit poor.

Seeing the child, it's speculated that it might have been exposed to light midway.

We have failed to live up to Tendo Kagura's expectations.

Yotsuya Miko sighed inwardly. She knew that Tendo Kagura valued her highly, otherwise she wouldn't have given her this thing to try.

In any case, this is the key that can unlock the mysterious door, representing a heavy trust.

Although she had expected to fail, she was still very disappointed that she didn't succeed on her first try and the Shadow Crystal didn't react at all.

"How long did it take?" Tendou Kagura asked calmly.

After estimating the time, Miko said, "About ten hours." She admitted that she had stood Kyosuke up yesterday.

Compared to watching TV with my younger brother, saving the world is probably more important, right?

Kagura Tendo stopped, looked at her for a while, and then shook her head.
