Those Who Bargain with Gods / The Ultimate Boomerang

Well, I guess so...

Cong Yu responded with an unfriendly look.

Lin, finally realizing the reason behind Cong Yu's words and attitude after their meeting, coughed lightly and explained.

"Ahem, that wasn't my plan... Okay, I was involved, but I did have a more peaceful approach."

"Actually, finding a way to get the ordinary people out of Mexico and simply subjecting the country to a baptism of fire is also within the Fate Certainty..."

"To put it simply, it's like an 'additional mission'—the deaths of ordinary Mexico are an additional mission that can alter Fate."

"While it may sound like an excuse, I originally had no intention of undertaking any additional tasks... My subordinates can attest to that."

Miss Lin pouted as she said this, but... what she didn't say was that when others decided to carry out special missions, she didn't show too much resistance, but rather planned to take advantage of the benefits.

"..." Cong Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at the other party. "Aren't you a divine messenger? Aren't you the one who commands Followers of Moerae?"

In response to this question, Miss Lin blinked and said, "Moerae is the collective name for the Three Goddesses of Fate in mythology; there are actually three in total."

"Atropos, Lachesis, and Clotho... and there are three divine messengers in total, each in charge of a group of believers."

"..." However, Cong Yu wasn't fooled by her words. He succinctly pointed out her purpose in saying all this, "So, you're saying you didn't actually do anything wrong... is that right?"

Faced with Cong Yu's incisive observation, Miss Lin was somewhat speechless before slowly saying, "It's 'didn't do too many bad things'... Even if I did, I can't be considered the mastermind."

But it was by no means a matter of coercion.

"You're awful."

As he commented, Cong Yu rubbed his nose and then sighed, "So which divine messenger did it?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Lin immediately smiled.

"Geya Hernand... if you want to settle scores with her, I'll take you there now. But don't kill me after you kill her, okay?--"

This guy is like a venomous snake.

Thinking this, Cong Yu gave her a deep look. "Killing millions to save one person... your actions are very dangerous."

She looks a lot like me, or even is a complete copy of myself.

However, not everyone has the will and determination to truly undertake such an action... The final outcome is either madness or utter ruin.

Geya Hernandez...

... For some reason, this name always seems to have a corn-like flavor to it.

"..."

"However, the surname Hernande..."

"Yes, she's Mexico, and she was the one who suggested bombing the country along with its own people... cough cough, I expressed my opposition."

"..." Today, Cong Yu truly witnessed the diversity of species... Perhaps this is the fate of mortals who obtain divine power.

"Wait until I find someone... then take me to her."

"Good--"

Chapter 407 Conspiring with the Gods

Cong Yu didn't like the "if it were me" hypothesis... but at this moment he had to think from this perspective.

If it were him, and he encountered a situation where he couldn't have it all, to what extent would he go for the sake of his few friends?

Just as he once had the unwavering desire to destroy everything and kill every living being in the world in order to protect the Saint King.

The answer seems to have no lower limit.

Therefore, Cong Yu herself doesn't really care...

Especially considering that Miss Lin helped Hong resolve her misfortune even before she knew Cong Yu's thoughts.

Red > Mexico

That much is beyond question.

But without a doubt, the other party's merits and demerits cannot be offset by this...

Because Carlos's near-death experience and resolute decision, which accompanied the destruction of Mexico, were also unacceptable to Cong Yu.

The decision-making process is quite simple.

Let Carlos Mario decide.

"Carlos, let me be blunt with you..."

As he said this, Cong Yu found Carlos Mario, who was directing the Mexico people in rebuilding their homes. "I've found the enemy that will destroy Mexico."

Carlos already knew this. He glanced at the sky and said, "I know, you said before that the enemy is Fate and the gods."

However, Carlos Mario cannot now oppose the gods, nor can he ask Cong Yu to fight them.

Because all of this has nothing to do with Cong Yu.

"No, I am a believer who has found God, and the situation is very complicated. It's difficult for me to explain to you... Are you free now?"

After a pause, Carlos touched his cowboy hat and replied to Cong Yu's words, "Yes, I'm very free right now."

As Carlos said this, Cong Yu turned her gaze to Miss Lin, who was playing with the local surviving children. "Now it's your turn to argue."

Cong Yu naturally used the term "sophistry" as a way of reminding Carlos Mario not to easily believe Lin's words.

"Quibble?"

Under Carlos's voice and furrowed gaze, Miss Lin coughed lightly and approached Carlos Mario: "Um, I'm sorry... I couldn't prevent the tragedy in Mexico, but I did try to dissuade him."

"..." That's true, but the wording is a bit too nice.

Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, then continued listening to Miss Lin recount the story of Moerae from another perspective.

Of course, these are all angles that are advantageous to her.

This can truly be considered a "whitewash," but since Lin is indeed a beneficiary of the system, whatever she says is just an awkward attempt to whitewash.

The problem is, Carlos Mario is an honest, middle-aged man.

Cong Yu was quite worried that her old friend had been misled...

Amidst such anxieties, Carlos Mario listened silently to Lin's sophistry... He remained silent, like a volcano about to erupt.

"You've absolved yourself of responsibility, but you're also guilty. You were working for God, and you rejoiced that you could save what you cherished."

As he said this, Carlos Mario surprisingly saw things very clearly. "The life or death of Mexico is actually irrelevant to you... because you don't care about these irrelevant people."

Lin opened his mouth to hear Carlos's words, but said nothing... after all, what the other party said was true.

Carlos, however, became more talkative.

"I understand that you only care about your family and friends. Because that's how we all are, but who says my citizens deserve to die... Fate?"

"If God dislikes our existence, God will act; if Fate does not permit our continued existence, Fate will judge... and you are not qualified, my friends."

"You are not acting on God's will! You are not!!!"

As he said this, Carlos Mario almost roared, panting heavily, his eyes brimming with anger.

At this moment, Cong Yu was also ready...

Hmm, I'm planning to cripple Miss Lin for my old friend... If he's ruthless enough, maybe Lin can survive.

But if Carlos's attitude is resolute, then Miss Lin, who has served God with all her heart, should return to God.

Out of concern for Hong, Cong Yu would visit Miss Lin's grave during holidays.

"..." However, Carlos eventually calmed down and continued, "Then so be it. Now take me to the mastermind you mentioned."

As Miss Lin prepared to flee but stopped because of his words, Carlos whispered, "It's pointless."

No matter who you kill, Mexico won't come back.

Carlos Mario clenched his fist and stared at Lin: "I'm going to give you one..."

A word of advice... If you want to change the Fate of your loved ones, then you should find a way."

"Instead of taking God's word as the only answer, Fate as the truth, and using all of this as an excuse to act as God's puppet."

Cong Yu, who was standing nearby, echoed Carlos's words, "As I said before... Moerae is also a god who adapts to the times."

Moerae knew exactly how to control the minds of New Age believers and get them to work diligently for her.

This level of devotion far surpasses the thought control exerted by Middle Ages churches, and is even more extreme than the madness of fanatics...

Because believers don't even realize they are being manipulated.

"Ah, yes... I'm so sorry."

Lin apologized to Carlos without hesitation, laughing it off, "I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."

Carlos Mario: "..."

Cong Yu: "..."

In the silence, Carlos looked at Miss Lin, who seemed completely oblivious, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Oh? I'm 21."

"..."

"If a child gets hold of the nuclear button, this might be the consequence."

Amid Carlos's sharp commentary, Cong Yu glanced at him and said, "Don't try to pull that 'she's still a child' thing. Besides, she's an adult... If you want to kill her, go ahead. I'm on your side."

Carlos knew this, but for now...

Let's find the mastermind first.

--

"Wow, the cake is amazing!"

As Miss Lin sat on the Jormungandr Train heading towards China, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, if I had known you would be this angry, I wouldn't have gotten involved in the Mexico affair... I would have just reported it to you directly!"

Carlos Mario, sitting far from Miss Lin, glanced at her and said, "This is... absurd."

Indeed, it's an absurd argument... Although this is Lin Zhenshi's idea, it only makes it seem even more ridiculous.

Following Carlos's words and Cong Yu's thoughts, Miss Lin, while shaking the cake fork, began to speak—

"Sigh, let me tell you, compared to an innocent contract worker of God like me, Geya Hernand is the truly heartless one..."

It's so noisy.

Speechless, Cong Yu watched the train gradually arrive at its destination. As she stood up to get off, she interrupted Miss Lin, "The location you provided should be correct, right?"

"Yes, that's right... Geya Hernand is preparing to corrupt the Xian Kui. I can sense her location; it's in the northeast corner of the Bright Moon Immortal Sect."

As she said this, Miss Lin smiled and introduced the place to the Mexico and her fellow countrymen, "This is a corner of the Immortal Alliance Mountains."

"Thanks to the protection of the Bright Moon Immortal Sect, there is absolutely no worry about demonic beasts disturbing this place. The spiritual energy is abundant, pure, and elegant. My parents also live here."

Thanks to Moerae, Miss Lin successfully averted her family's destined misfortune and allowed them to stay here...

Without a doubt, she should thank the gods for this.

So honestly, although she regretted what happened in Mexico, she didn't regret working for Moerae for the time being.

With this thought in mind, Miss Lin followed Cong Yu, lightly and casually jumping off the train, and then...

My foot slipped, and I almost fell to the ground.

"..." Slippery, very slippery...

The ground was very slippery.

"..." Hesitantly gazing at the pool-like pool of crimson and viscous black liquid on the ground, Miss Lin blinked and slowly raised her head...

What came into view was an overwhelming mass of severed limbs.

Chapter 408 The Ultimate Boomerang

The sky is very beautiful.

Blue Sky, white clouds...

From the ancient town at the foot of this Bright Moon Immortal Mountain, one can look out and see the verdant fairy mountain.

The corresponding color is blood red.
