Zongman, my simulated universe has come true?

"But Ailei, in the future I see, you will..."

"That's enough! Don't make me repeat myself again. I won't let you go to the earth! I won't allow you to leave the underworld! You just need to stay by my side! It's okay. I will definitely protect you."

Just when Mo Li was about to say something, a gun cage suddenly rose up around him and imprisoned him.

"I'm going to work. You just calm down here for a while."

Ereshkigal declared in an unquestionable tone. Mo Li could only watch in silence as her figure walked further and further away. He curled up in the gun cage and silently wrapped himself tightly in the cloak she left behind.

Did persuasion fail?

Ailei has a stubborn personality to begin with, and his strength is not that strong in the Age of Gods. Moreover, in the eyes of the god-level Ailei, he is as fragile as a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished if you are not careful.

As expected, I don't have enough strength to convince Ai Lei, so I am destined to fail to convince her...

"Grandpa, thank you for coming to see me, but no need. I have already made an appointment with Ai Lei and I will never leave her without saying goodbye."

After feeling that someone's sight had disappeared, Mo Li stayed quietly in the gun cage waiting for Ai Lei's return.

Although she could let him leave the underworld, but she went away without saying goodbye and broke his oath. The goddess, realizing that she was betrayed, would undoubtedly turn her love for him into strong hatred.

Besides, if he had run away secretly before they formed a special relationship, it would be fine, but now as Ai Lei's lover, he can't betray her feelings...

Chapter 11: The Flower of the Underworld No Longer Alone

"Ellie, I have something to tell you."

A few more days passed, and Mo Li's persuasion was completely useless to Ai Lei. In order to make him completely give up, Ai Lei even never opened the gun cage that imprisoned him from the day it was closed.

"You're not going to the ground or something like that?"

"No."

Ereshkigal's gloomy expression seemed to have improved a little. It seemed that he had finally given up that stupid idea and decided to stay by her side!

"As long as you don't have to go to the ground, I can satisfy your other requests."

"Really?"

"Of course, a goddess's word is as good as hers!"

With a snap of her fingers, Ereshkigal removed the gun cage that imprisoned Mori and joyfully embraced him in her arms. She had not had any contact with him for several days, causing the Mori energy in her body to be completely depleted!

I'll have to supplement it later!

"I will leave the underworld and return to my original world."

Mo Li, who was held in the goddess' arms, clearly felt Ai Lei's body stiffen after he said this.

"Eh? Going back is..."

"Elei has noticed my unique power, right? I was sent to the underworld by this power, so I can actually return there anytime I want."

He was unable to convince Elle, but he could not go to the earth on his own and betray the goddess by leaving her alone in the underworld.

But if they continue to wait, this place will eventually be submerged by Tiamat's chaos tide, and Mo Li cannot sit idly by.

I can't just happily spend the rest of my life with Ailei and then watch her die in front of me, right?

He didn't want to experience the heartbreak of his wife dying in front of him.

Therefore, for this kind of stuck situation, he could only end the simulation.

Anyway, the Black Tower's simulated universe also has a saving function, so he can wait until he becomes strong enough to complete it.

"Wait! I won't allow it! Didn't you promise to stay with me forever?"

Hearing that Mo Li was going to leave her, Ai Lei looked at him emotionally. The violent part of her divinity became more and more intense, causing her to even have the idea of ​​killing Mo Li and turning him into a dead person in the underworld to keep him by her side forever.

If it weren't for her remaining sanity stopping her from doing so, Ailei would have already taken action...

"Ailei? When did I say such a thing? Think carefully about the vows I made..."

I will not hate her, I will not despise her, I will not leave her without saying goodbye, I will build a kingdom of death with her that is no less powerful than any other country on earth...

Actually, there is no promise to stay by her side forever! ?

"Then promise now! To stay by my side forever!"

Ai Lei grasped Mo Li's shoulders tightly. She could not tolerate her only love leaving her side, and even the murderous intent in her heart gradually became difficult to suppress.

"No, I can't do it. If I continue to stay by Ai Lei's side and do nothing, I will just have to watch you die in front of me..."

"I won't die! This is the underworld, and I am absolutely invincible here!"

As the mistress of the underworld, although she was arranged by the gods to be the god of the underworld, she is only of medium level in terms of the scale of gods. However, in her underworld, Ereshkigal, who possesses the power of the underworld, can judge even the highest god of Mesopotamia!

This is the only privilege that the goddess, who has been bound to the underworld, has...

"Yes, if it is in the underworld, Ailei is absolutely invincible, but what if the opponent can erode the underworld into his own territory?"

"That's impossible! Not even the god An can erode my underworld!"

"But what if it's Tiamat? The original mother goddess who was exiled by the gods. The underworld can't resist the erosion of her chaos tide, right?"

Hearing the name of the Mother Goddess, Ereshkigal's body began to tremble unconsciously.

Her power might work on the creator god, but if Tiamat can also corrupt the underworld...

"Did you mistake the beast goddess on the ground for the Mother Goddess? No! Her real name is..."

"I'm not talking about the Gorgon, but Tiamat herself. If the situation above continues to develop, the mother goddess will undoubtedly wake up. At that time, both the earth and the underworld will be eroded by her, and everything will be transformed into a new world that breeds new life and new civilization."

Ereshkigal fell silent. She could tell that these were not lies that Moli had made up in order to reach the surface, but...

If this world is destined to be destroyed, it would be better for her to enjoy the remaining time with Mo Li...

"Then Mo Li, you..."

"My beloved Elle would never say such weak words as 'Just stay with me until everything ends', because she has endured tens of thousands of years of loneliness alone and has never given up her responsibilities as the goddess of the underworld. She is the strongest and proudest goddess I have ever met."

Tears welled up in Ereshkigal's eyes. After he said that, she would not be able to continue to act willfully!

The gold in his pupils gradually faded, and the dark thought in his heart of wanting to kill him and turn him into a dead person and keep him in the underworld forever also disappeared in the depths of his consciousness.

"I understand. Just go back! I won't stop you..."

She has selfishly imprisoned him in the underworld. If she were to still willfully let him accompany her and watch the end of the world, that would be too irresponsible!

So even if her heart was in pain, Ai Lei would not continue to be willful, because she had received enough good things from Mo Li...

For the first time, I encountered her presence without being afraid.

For the first time, I had a friend with whom I could talk about anything.

For the first time, I knew the feeling called love...

In this underworld where there is nothing, I have been accustomed to this dark place for tens of thousands of years. As long as he appears in my sight, this scenery that I have long been accustomed to suddenly becomes incredibly beautiful.

So she gave up envying everything on earth, believing that as long as he was by her side, the underworld would become more beautiful than the earth!

Every moment she spent with him was an irreplaceable treasure to her, so she had already demanded so much from him and could no longer continue to be so willful...

Because she is the most beautiful flower in the underworld in Mo Li's eyes. Willfulness, possessiveness, and unreasonableness, these bad emotions will only make the color of the flowers dim.

She couldn't tarnish her image in his heart...

But...as expected, separation is still very sad...

Ai Lei sat on the stone bed with her back to Mo Li, curled up with her face buried between her legs, not wanting him to see her crying.

"Ailei, I don't want to leave you either, but in order to fulfill our promise and build the underworld into the most prosperous country in the world, I must gain more power from my hometown..."

Looking at the lovable Ai Lei, Mo Li hugged the lonely goddess from behind and explained to her in an extremely gentle voice.

"I know that Ailei wanted to protect me, so she didn't want me to go to the ground, right? I never blamed you, because I knew that was Ailei's gentleness, so I only hated my own powerlessness..."

"If I had the power that was not inferior to Tiamat, if I had the power to make Elly leave the underworld, then we would not be separated, and Elly would not be lonely again..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I can't do anything except make the flowers bloom..."

Tears dripped onto her shoulders. Ereshkigal heard the boy sobbing with apology in his voice. She turned around and looked at him in great surprise.

Mo Li, who always showed a gentle smile in front of her, actually cried?

At this point, Ailei finally realized that she had made a huge mistake!

She wasn't the only one who didn't want to separate, Mo Li also felt the same pain in his heart!

But even so, in order to protect their underworld, Mo Li still endured the pain of being torn apart in his heart and made the decision to say goodbye to her...

Without realizing it, had she been acting coquettishly towards Mo Li again?

Self-blame and shame filled Ereshkigal's heart. She hugged the crying boy tightly, gently stroked his hair, and whispered soothing words in his ear.

"It's okay, Mo Li is not incapable of doing anything. It was you who taught me what love is, and told me that there are flowers in this underworld where there is nothing. And you are the only one in the world who can make me, the goddess of the underworld, so happy..."

"I will wait here for the day you come back... So, don't make me wait too long... I will be very lonely in the underworld without you..."

She pushed him down once more. A night passed, and Ereshkigal awoke alone from her stone bed. She subconsciously wanted to say someone's name, but the warmth beside her was no longer there, and her expression darkened.

The dreamlike happiness turned into a bubble, and she was left alone with loneliness again.

"Is this... petals?"

A breeze blew from nowhere and brought a petal. Ailei stared at the red petal in her palm. When she came to her senses, she found that countless unknown flowers had bloomed around her palace.

"Thank you, this way... I, a flower, won't feel lonely..."

Ereshkigal's melancholy was swept away, and she smiled brightly once again.

Chapter 12 Return, system guarantee?

"Welcome back! What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Mo Li standing safely in front of the simulated universe device, Heita finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came out of the simulated universe.

After seeing that he attracted the attention of all the star gods, the surveillance screen went black again, and in the end, he was only seen being hit by the pioneering train.

She had no idea what happened after that. She could only observe some strange data and a portion of the data of the Pioneering Star God, until later the simulated universe suddenly showed alarming energy consumption!

If she hadn't urgently mobilized some resources, the simulated universe would probably have been forced to shut down due to lack of energy.

By then, Mo Li, who has completely entered the simulated universe, may encounter unexpected events...

Mo Li, who came out of the simulated universe, was about to say something when he felt that the protection on his body had not disappeared, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

Hmm? Is this the protection of the underworld?!

Could it be that his previous experience in the underworld was actually the real world? !

He was so scared that he quickly pulled open his clothes and looked at his collarbone, but he did not find the mark left by Ai Lei there.

However, all the imaginary energy gained through the [Exploration] destiny disappeared...

The only thing that was retained was the skill that was originally developed in order to make the seeds bloom, [Plant Growth], but the energy consumed was also changed from imaginary energy to magic power.

So...what's going on?

"It seems that you have experienced a lot in the simulated universe this time. Tell me about it..."

The black tower puppet stared at Mo Li. Compared to before entering the simulated universe, the power in his body seemed to have changed. There was also a layer of strange force field attached to his body surface?

I'm really curious about what happened to him after attracting the attention of all the star gods?

[Host? How did you come out of the simulated universe so quickly? !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ]

"Ms. Black Tower, my experience in the simulated universe this time is a bit complicated. I can't finish it in a short time. Besides, I'm very tired now. Can you let me go back to my room to rest first?"

"Okay, then you go and rest first. I'll deliver the doll I told you about tomorrow."

Seeing that the fatigue on Mo Li's face did not seem fake, Heita did not force him to continue, but sent a message to Esta, who was asking about Mo Li's situation for the sixth time.

Moreover, the data she collected alone was enough for Black Tower and her partners to analyze for a long time. After all, it was a feast attended by all the known star gods!

There are even many star gods that they have never observed before!

However, being able to attract the attention of all the star gods with a mortal body...

Mo Li, could he be the future Star God?

Thinking of this possibility, Heita suddenly became excited. If her real body wasn't inconvenient right now, Heita herself would have wanted to come to the space station to meet Mo Li!
