Truly Gentle, This Chairman

"The Chairman of the Anomaly Containment Association?"

"You can think of it as an organization that specifically houses these kinds of things."

"And what are these things?"

"Strange. A monster with special abilities that appeared for unknown reasons. It cannot be destroyed by any physical means; the only way to fight it is to rely on strange powers."

Are there many?

"As numerous as insects and ants."

"That's definitely tough to deal with. Your job must be very tiring, right?"

"... Some things just have to be done by someone, don't they?"

Lin Tan completely relaxed, a slight smile on his face, as he leaned against the wall, not caring whether the dust on the wall would dirty his clothes.

"If only I had met you sooner, maybe I could have joined your organization and devoted myself to Chairman president."

Lin Tan laughed as he spoke, "Of course, it's more likely that the Chairman simply didn't think much of me because of my timid personality."

"No, you are talented," Shen Yu retorted, rejecting the other's self-deprecating words. "At least, you have the talent to become Contract Anomalist; otherwise, why would they choose you out of so many people?"

"If we're talking about losers, you're not the only one full of complaints and wanting to change."

Lin Tan's lips tightened instantly. "Ah, you're right, you're right."

He finally felt somewhat relieved.

"Let's get started!"

"Won't you chat a little longer?"

Shen Yu was never a talkative person, but as the last person in the know in this world, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with his time.

"I really wish... the ending could have been better, but I guess I have to blame myself for things turning out this way. Let's do it..."

"Take that... guy who destroyed my world out of my body!" Lin Tan roared as he finished speaking.

He wasn't without hatred.

However, when he thought about how he was also partly to blame for creating this situation, he was unsure whether he should hate anyone.

Lin Tan was unaware that he was such a person who cared about the world. If the price was only himself, perhaps he wouldn't have such strong emotions.

He had initially thought that no matter what, he would no longer have any emotions towards the outside world, but it turns out that even such an incompetent guy like him still had a little bit of hope for the world left...

So he was still alone.

Shen Yu raised his hand, slowly moving it towards his head, and finally pressed his hand firmly onto his head.

The force was so strong that Lin Tan had the illusion that his head was about to be crushed.

At the same time, he felt a series of sharp pains in his brain, as if something was constantly wriggling inside it.

The intense pain contorted his entire face.

Shen Yu's hand seemed to have grabbed something, slowly pulling it upwards. Then he felt as if his brain was about to be ripped out, the unbearable pain causing him to scream in agony.

He felt as if his brain was being shredded, and even his soul was being ripped out. Was he about to die?

Click! Click! Click!

The sound, like shattering glass, kept echoing in my ears.

boom--

An invisible shockwave rippled through his body. If it weren't for Shen Yu's other hand pressing on Lin Tan's shoulder, creating a barrier of strange energy to protect him, he would have been completely unharmed.

He's probably already dead.

As the excruciating pain subsided, Lin Tan's mind cleared considerably, perhaps partly due to the influence of the strange energy.

Only then was he able to observe his surroundings.

When Lin Tan looked around, his expression went blank for a moment, due to the shock he was in.

"This is..." he said with great difficulty and in a painful tone, "Is this my world?"

They were now in a spatial rift, surrounded by endless chaotic spatial turbulence capable of pulverizing any creature that dared to enter.

However, all these turbulent currents were blocked by Shen Yu's power.

Before them floated countless shattered fragments of the world; some pieces looked familiar, but most were unrecognizable.

Lin Tan watched this scene with immense pain; he witnessed the destruction of his world.

It turns out that the destruction of the world is such an easy thing to do.

Where is that guy?

Lin Tan's eyes were filled with hatred.

Shen Yu then gestured for him to look up.

Lin Tan looked up and saw a huge, indescribable creature floating above the shattered world, its countless tentacles outstretched, drifting leisurely in the spatial turbulence.

Those spatial turbulences that could instantly shatter a fragment of the world crashed into it, but they were like tickling it, unable to cause it any harm at all.

This alone demonstrates just how astonishing this thing's defenses are.

"Is this it?" Lin Tan stared blankly at the enormous creature. Compared to it, humans were as insignificant as a grain of sand. Just looking at it made it impossible to muster the will to fight against it.

Lin Tan's head started to ache again.

Even though Shen Yu eventually removed him from his brain after he was parasitized by this creature, he was still harmed.

"Chairman, there's no need to waste your energy on me," Lin Tan said.

He knew that he was able to stand here entirely because of Shen Yu's protection.

Rather than using it to protect him, who was destined to die, it was better to save the strength to fight against the behemoth before them.

Shen Yu originally wanted him to witness the creature that destroyed him being taken in by him, as this would at least offer some comfort.

However, after Shen Yu met his gaze...

Shen Yu silently withdrew the power protecting him.

Lin Tan was torn apart by the spatial turbulence and painfully disappeared within this space.

At the moment his world was destroyed, he wanted to die, but in the end, he gazed at Shen Yu, who stood in the void like a god.

How gentle this Chairman president is.

Meeting this great man at the end of his life was perhaps his greatest fortune.

Lin Tan closed his eyes, letting himself disappear into this chaotic and empty space.

Shen Yu watched him disappear, and could only sigh in the end.

He glanced at the eerie creature floating in the void, his eyes instantly turning cold. "Next, it's your battle with me."

That eerie gaze had actually been fixed on Shen Yu ever since he appeared.

The allure emanating from Shen Yu piqued its curiosity, making it want to explore further.

Perhaps by eating this human, it can get the answer it wants.

So it launched an attack on Shen Yu.

A giant white Spider appeared behind Shen Yu, Spider red eyes staring intently at the eerie creature.

The strange movement froze for a moment.
