You say this is a love game?

"What you must understand is that you cannot leave the past life as the 'dead'... Just like she is doing now, she wants you to leave the past life as the 'living'. This is very important to you... From now on, you will rarely encounter moments as important as this one."

"She is offering sacrifice to the gods in exchange for a true resurrection of the dead."

Correct.

The one she wanted to call back was not the "dead" Mizutani Makoto.

But it is Makoto Mizutani who is a "living person".

These are two completely different paths. If she really intended to call upon the "dead", then as a god, she could use her privilege to transform Mizutani Makoto into a "follower" or a "monster". Why would she come here to reverse life and death?

But how could such a trick that fooled a child satisfy her who already knew the secrets of the gods?

Makoto Mizutani shouldn't be trapped in the identity of "the dead"!

He had saved her.

Well, now it's her turn to save him...

With the loud cry of the gods, the contract between gods and the world was established.

Mizutani Makoto looked at this scene solemnly and kept it in his heart forever.

The unreachable and magnificent body of the god slowly disappeared in the great source.

Like a sacrifice being digested, Yajima Mai offered up the "Daohatsuhi God". In response to the slowly dissipating body of the god, the light floating on Mizutani Makoto's spirit body was also reflected. His figure gradually became transparent, and he stretched out his hand and finally held Mizutani Eka's face.

"I will definitely save you!"

There is no doubt that this is his commitment.

Facing this stubborn and troublesome brother, Mizutani Eka also showed a bright smile full of doting: "Then I will wait for you to save me with peace of mind."

Her blurry figure took two steps forward and hugged Mizutani Makoto.

She whispered in his ear:

"Then keep going. Remember to keep going without hesitation or regret."

Mizutani Makoto's vision was gradually filled with darkness.

The feeling of touch that was right in front of me quickly disappeared.

He seemed to have fallen into endless darkness, but his consciousness gradually became clear in the cold.

But soon, he felt it.

Another touch that seemed to be at the soul level gently embraced him.

In this chaotic gap, there is no flow of time and no boundaries of space.

Only them.

There is only Makoto Mizutani and Mai Yajima.

Mai Yajima hugged him lovingly, and the souls of the boy and girl were floating naked in the gap between the present world and the past world. Their figures were so transparent and fragile, like dandelions that would be blown away by the wind, but they were so lucky to rely on each other and had infinite courage to go far away together.

Their souls are falling towards the world.

"how about you?"

Mizutani Eka turned around and her eyes fell on the girl not far away.

The real Mayi, that is, the girl's soul, was standing quietly on the edge of the cliff, staring in the direction of the great source.

"She exchanged two souls with her past life, and you are one of them... Don't you want to go with her?"

The girl's soul just shook her head slightly.

"...My story ended a long time ago."

"But God-sama still has her own stories. How can I be a thief and steal her love and stories in such a despicable way?"

She shook her head, gently.

Mai, this girl, no longer has anything worth clinging to in this world.

She was not killed by someone, but gave up her own life...If it weren't for the connection between her soul and the crack, she should have come to this past life and reincarnated long ago.

"Don't you feel regretful?"

Mizutani Eka asked.

The girl still shook her head.

"I wish God-sama the happiness that belongs to her... I'll give her my share as well, and ask her to carry on in my place."

Mizutani Eka shook her head, but still took the girl's hand.

Then the gods of the past bowed before her, lifted up Mizutani Eka and the girl with their huge hands, and walked away with the girl's soul.

"Then let's get going."

At the end of the source.

There is a pair of parents who should have been reincarnated long ago, waiting for their daughter.

That is the final destination of "Mai Yajima".

Chapter 162 The name of the god Daihozuri protects the evil spirits and monsters in the burning night light city.

"Sincerity..."

"Sincerity..."

Mizutani Makoto heard someone's whispered call, and then his consciousness gradually recovered, and a pop-up window vaguely appeared in his vision.

【Contract Established】

【Please walk with your beloved to the end of the world. 】

Tongzi, you evil beast, you made me sign a Shikigami contract when I was not paying attention?

Mizutani Makoto got up from the ground. At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable all over his body. It was different from the heavy and tearing feeling when he used the god to descend the spirit before, and it was also very different from the ethereal feeling of having nowhere to rely on when he was a spirit. He was now truly alive, living as a "living person".

Whose contract is this Shikigami?

【Mai Yajima (104)】

【Ownership: ？ 】

【Rank:? 】

【ability:?】

Oh shit, where did this centenarian come from?

Mizutani Makoto released his hand from his forehead and his gaze paused for a moment.

He couldn't find Mai Yajima.

"Where are you?"

"here……"

In Mizutani Makoto's mind, the voice of Mai Yajima calling out emerged. Her voice was very low, followed by a very slight whisper.

"Hey, we're all alive..."

"Let me rest for a while, I'll come out to see you later..."

Mizutani Makoto just looked at the scene in front of him. A gorgeous mask was floating in the air. He seemed to sense something and reached out to the mask.

Invisible Bird

Description: A brightly colored harpy mask, adorned with ornate patterns. A beast of disaster, capable of distinguishing good from evil, prowls the steely jungles of humanity, its devilish fangs stalking the necks of those who commit evil. The wearer gains a +2 Charisma bonus and a special attack against "evil."

【Comment: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you.】

The mask once worn by Yajima Mai lay quietly in his palm. This mask, called the [Invisible Bird], now served as the medium of Yajima Mai's contract. Like the [Satori Yoshiko Bond] and [Chidori], its durability was protected by Touko.

It is an extremely powerful equipment in itself, and now it is also the home of Mai Yajima, and is highly bound to him.

"Special attack against evil?"

Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but think of the special attacks he had seen so far.

The Japanese bow of the miko is a special attack against "sin".

Chidori Maru is a special attack against "evil".

And now, this invisible bird is a special attack against "evil".

These three special attacks each have their own advantages, but in most cases they should overlap. Wearing a mask and wielding Chidori Maru, he might be able to directly deal double critical damage to some evildoers.

Is there any evil that does not do evil?

There shouldn't be any in the cracks.

【Clue 8: The fate of death】

【Mission Status Update: The Girl's Secret (100%)】

After a moment's pause, Tongzi popped up a new clue.

[Clue 9: God's Love]

【Mission Status Update: The Girl's Secret (120%)】

[The mission has been completed, and the mission reward has been issued. ]

[Quest Reward: God Name: Daihozu Hikari]

The reward for this mission was not about doubling or not. There were no yen, no attribute points, no spiritual power, no forging stones or anything like that. The entire mission reward was just this one item, but it left Mizutani Makoto dumbfounded.

Mizutani Makoto: "?"

Ah, huh?

When the cold wind blew, Mizutani Makoto immediately woke up.

What is the "name of God"?

[God’s name: The God of Great Disaster]

[Description: The complete wedge of the god is the "god's name." This god's name symbolizes the path of the Great God of the Sun, allowing the adapted person to embark on the path of the Great God of the Sun.]

[Comment: Life's fortunes and misfortunes are all determined by the gods, so the Great God of Misfortunes mercilessly brings sorrow and misfortune to all living beings.]

[Special Note: The Road of God's Name is accessible only to the "living."]

Mizutani Makoto just stared at the "flame" in his backpack - it was a flame like a soul, but it was golden, swaying gently in the miniature icon of Tongzi, showing amazing nobility and sacredness.

Regardless of the nature of its divinity, the most important nature is "God".

But this is too...

"If I remember correctly, this thing was thrown into Dayuan by Mai, right?"

The corner of Mizutani Makoto's mouth twitched slightly. He had personally witnessed Yajima Mai offer the name of the god "Daigozu Hijin" to the source. This meant that the name of the god must be within the source, or perhaps it had been assimilated and recovered by the source...

Tongzi, are you taking the name of God out from the Great Source?

"Fuck you, isn't your reward library connected to the Great Source?"

Mizutani Makoto was completely convinced of Tongzi's magical power.

It's impossible to take it out.

I'll just keep this thing secret for now and study it later.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the description "Only the 'living' can enter", then dusted himself off. After clicking away all the task pop-ups, he discovered that there was actually a love-themed CG pop-up.

CG: [Together for the Future]

This CG depicts a boy and a girl, whose souls float in the void like dandelions.

...Okay, you have regained the name of God, and you have temporarily gained the right to be exempt from complaints.

Just let it be a love game.

Makoto Mizutani also turned off the CG.

He had already successfully elbowed Lao Da and won the resurrection match. Mai's condition was a little strange, but she communicated with him through her mask, saying that she was fine and that they would meet again after a while... He suspected it might be related to the previous "sacrifice", as the "?" displayed on Mai's faceplate at the moment indicated some unknown change.

I hope it's alright...
