Inner Destroyer

　“Just living.”

　The little girl raised her head tremblingly, her blue eyes trembling slightly, reflecting the confusion and shock of almost collapsing - is this what it means to be alive?

　Her hands were clenching uncontrollably, her skin still slightly flushed from the sudden shock, as if she were truly alive for the first time.

　Alive? This feeling could be so strong, strong enough to shatter all the nothingness of her past?

　Romani was out in the world enjoying this kind of pleasure all day, and then she was locked up in a cell? It seemed... indeed... unfair...

　"What the hell are you doing?!" Romani was already shocked. "'Rip Master', how dare you say I'm brainwashing people with █? Aren't you doing the same thing as me?!"

　"Huh, I'm not like you."

　Qi Xing scoffed and reached out to help the collapsed girl to her feet. She raised her head stiffly, her eyes confused and trembling, as if she had been dragged from endless darkness into a blazing light—and she didn't even have time to decide whether to resist or indulge in it.

　Romani wields his ██ to brainwash people, but he is just using desire to seduce and control them.

　What is the difference between love and desire?

　Qi woke up and was frightened by this ridiculous pornographic world. He got stuck in a dead end and lost himself. But Elaine had helped him figure out the answer.

　The answer is actually very simple, but it is most appropriate for a nun to remind you.

　“It’s just part of being alive, a small part of the joy of life.”

　Qi Xing helped the little girl up and continued to say to her,

　"There are many other different experiences in life. There are joys and pains, happiness and difficulties."

　"Some pain might make you feel that you'd rather be trapped in this empty cell. But because I'm the one who brought you out of here, I have a promise with you—no matter what difficulties you encounter in the outside world, just call on me, and I will protect you, help you, and support you. No matter what pain you face every day of your life, just tell me, and I will share it with you."

　"Till death do us part."

　This is what Qi Xing realized with the help of Elaine.

　Where is the line between love and lust? Where is the line between depravity, going with the world, and normalcy?

　The answer is actually very simple. It's incredibly simple. If you don't dwell on it, you can figure it out in a snap.

　After you’re done having fun, just don’t just walk away like the black people.

　Love must be responsible.

　The tyrant with silver in his hand tramples upon those who love him, and the devil of creation despises her own creation.

　They may be strong.

　But only those who take responsibility will be the ultimate winner.

　Even if it is someone you don’t like, even if it is someone you have only seen for five minutes.

　My responsibility—the responsibility of bringing you into the world—I carry.

　In an instant, a slight ripple appeared in the depths of the little girl's lifeless eyes, like the surface of a lake blown by a breeze.

　The expression on her face remained calm, as if her indifferent attitude had never changed; she still just blinked lightly, keeping her gaze on Qi Xing.

　Her breathing was so light, almost imperceptible, but her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was trying to calm some surging feelings. Then, after a few seconds of silence, she slowly nodded without hesitation.

　The movement was light and small, but extremely firm.

　There was no smile, no excited tears - she was still a little girl with almost no expression, without so many exaggerated reactions. But at least at this moment, her silence was no longer empty.

　Romani was stunned.

　Qi Xing grinned.

　This is really—ah, it feels so good! It feels better than anything else, even better than having sex! (Although Qi Xing hasn't really had sex yet)

　Tremble, world.

　Because the true Bull-Headed God of Pure Love has arrived.

　The matter at hand wasn't over yet. He reached out and gently placed his hand on the little girl's head. His palm rested on the top of her hair, and when his fingertips touched her hair, she froze slightly, but didn't resist.

　"You were once a nameless person, wandering between life and death."

　Qi Xing spoke, his voice deep and majestic, like a command from a God King, like the sound of a judgment bell, shaking the twisted prison.

　"But I am the King of the Underworld. Now, in my name, I grant you new life and let your name be remembered by heaven and earth."

　When one person names another, it is equivalent to the namer defining the named person. This is like █, a strong constraint, and the establishment of a hierarchical relationship.

　The stunned Romani finally reacted and rushed over to stop him! But Qi Xing waved his hand, and the forbidden Qi barrier, fully strengthened by the silver coin, completely blocked Romani!

　Through the invisible barrier of true energy, Romani could see the little girl—the other half of her soul. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingertips subconsciously tightened. It was as if Qi Xing's words were stirring some unspeakable waves in her ears, making her blush.

　"stop it!"

　The invisible Qi barrier, fortified with all his might, was able to withstand Romani's trident. His relentless attacks on the barrier were merely a drumbeat to encourage Qi Xing.

153

　This is ridiculous.

　Romani was going crazy.

　He didn't like the split half of his soul. He hated his white blood and his mother's genes. But it was still his soul after all. And yet, at this moment, "Rep Master" wanted—he wanted—no! Aa ...

　"Fuck it! Put up a fight!!!"

　However, the little girl seemed not to hear anything and did not resist Qi Xing. Instead, she closed her eyes.

　Qi Xing didn't stop either. He gently applied force, pressing his palm against the top of her head. The firm strength passed through his palm, like the rising morning light, dispelling all the haze.

　"Now, I will give you the true name of life."

　Giving a life a name means adding one's own expectations for that life into the name. Therefore, in more powerful magic, the meaning of the name becomes more important.

　What should I call her?

　Qi Xing didn't understand French or Italian, but after spending so much time with the Vatican, he understood a few Latin words. Then he thought about it and came up with a good idea.

　"From now on, your name will be—'Reni'."

　Renée comes from the Latin word "renatus", which means rebirth.

　It is not just a name, but a vow engraved deep in Qi Xing's soul.

　The little girl raised her head in a daze, her eyes flickering, as if she finally realized that her existence was no longer a blank container, no longer an extension of Romani's will, but a living person who was given a new life.

　Her lips parted slightly, as if about to respond, but in the end, she simply nodded. There were no words, but there was an unprecedented truth in her words.

　Renee, already has her own name.

　Her soul and half of the silver coin's divine power have been "dominated" by Qi Xing.

　Instantly, Romani felt it all and realized that he was being bullied. But at this moment, he could only scream: "Ahhhh!!!"

　"'Rip Master', you bastard!"

　Not only did his strength not return, but his immortal body, blessed by Brahma, was also gone.

　"Painful, Romani? Accept it."

　Qi Xing grinned.

　"This is the pain you have inflicted on others to this day. It is your unavoidable responsibility to experience the same suffering."

　He raised his left hand and golden scales appeared. On one side of the scales was a plate containing a white feather representing justice.

　"The scales have been weighed, and your sins are exposed. The feathers of Maat are as light as the morning breeze. How much weight does your soul hold?"

　In the dark prison, only the scales and the giant sickle reflected a cold and eerie light.

　The stone walls of the prison began to tremble, the iron chains whined, and even the rusted rack trembled under the judgment of the God-King.

　The golden scythe in Qi Xing's right hand radiated divine light, its every inch of the blade reflecting the whispers of countless dead souls. The blade trembled slightly, as if it already knew the outcome of the impending judgment.

　On one side of the scales, the feather of Maat hovered lightly, as white as the morning light, radiating a radiance untainted by dust. On the other side, Romani Domingo's sins had been pulled in by an invisible divine force, forced to stand on the scales.

　Instantly, the scales plummeted, heavy as if carrying the wails of countless dead souls. The weight of sin surpassed all else, causing the entire scale to weep with grief, unable to bear the weight.

　Romani stood frozen in place. Beneath him, the world trembled violently. The crumbling walls crumbled into dust, disintegrating into the dreams of all living things. The laws of the entire "Inner World" were ripped apart by divine power, and the cracks in space spread like a spider web.

　Move! Move, hands and feet! Move! Why not?!

　He still wanted to resist—how could he just wait to die without any resistance? But now, even the right to resist had been taken away from him.

　"Goodbye, Romani Domingo."

　"Today, in the name of Hades, I will harvest your soul!"

　The God-King swung his scythe.

　An arc of light pierced the darkness, like a golden thread tearing through the sky. In an instant, the entire prison shattered. Walls, cages, torture instruments, and the shadow-filled corridor were all cut in two by the scythe's sharp edge.

　Romani Domingo's figure was also engulfed by the light.

　In the end, he never stopped resisting, but he had nowhere to escape.

　The "inner world" cracked, and his soul shattered in the light of judgment, turning into endless dust.

　058: The End of the Beginning

　"Romani Domingo."

　"A pathetic man, an unqualified 'Silver Coin Messenger'."

　The battle is over.

　In the crumbling and collapsing "Inner World", the Lolita Evil God appears as usual and comments on the end of the "Silver Coin Messenger".

　This might have been her way of... uh, entertainment for the past two thousand years. After all, she wasn't having much fun being trapped on the throne at the bottom of the universe.

　"The power of the Silver Messenger is closely related to a person's deep psychological state."

　"He'll get addictive █ba, probably because of that,"

　In fact, Qi Xing could probably understand without her finishing her words.

　A mixed-race child, whose mother ran away and whose father is a gang leader, was forced to go to a private school and was excluded by the local pure-blooded blacks.

　In high school, he participated in the Haitian social movement and fought against corruption, but his mixed-race identity was also a problem for the left in black countries.

　It's normal for him to hate his white blood.

　But at the same time, he did not simply see himself as a black person, but as a more "special" person.

154

　Perhaps he once trusted others only to be betrayed, so he chose to be alone and unattached, trampling everything with his addictive drug.

　He declared that he had no need for love and could not derive pleasure from it.

　So he doesn't love anyone, nor is he truly loved by anyone. This might be the end of his hatred.

　What a pathetic man who doesn't understand love! However, if Qi Xing had taken a wrong step before, if Qi Xing only knew how to hate the world and chose to be alone, I'm afraid Qi Xing would not be "different" from Romani.

　The power of the silver coin is driven by the inner heart of the user. Unbridled use of power is bound to bring a sense of "happiness," and in that situation, self-reflection is undoubtedly difficult.

　"Romani Domingo. What you really want is not an addictive penis."

　So Qi Xing said, even though no one involved can hear it,

　"All you want is definitely someone who will accept you no matter what and love you unconditionally."

　Besides, Qi Xing had nothing else to say to Romani.

　As Romani was smashed to pieces by Qi Xing, his silver coins naturally fell out.

　Originally, because Renee was the other half of the "Silver Coin Messenger," she could theoretically inherit the silver coin... But Qi Xing certainly wouldn't let a completely blank little girl, still ignorant of desire and the world, inherit such power. Otherwise, it would definitely cause new trouble.

　He reached out and grabbed the fallen silver coin. Just like last time, it looked like a small, ancient coin, an ancient Roman denarius. However, the image on it was different from the "Dominant" coin in Qi Xing's hand.

　The obverse of the "Lord" silver coin features Caesar's head, and the reverse depicts a woman dancing in the air with a veil draped over her head, her back facing the viewer.

　This new silver coin also has Caesar's head on the front, but a crescent moon in the water is engraved on the back.

　"This is my fourth silver coin, representing the concept of 'illusion'—spirituality, bestiality, frenzy, and endless change."

　Samael explained calmly,

　"Moonlight can penetrate the thin veneer of reason, revealing the veins of pain, pleasure, fear, and anger that truly drive a person's desires."
