Xu Ye discreetly studied the old woman across from him.
Her face was sallow, her wrinkled skin folded upon itself, with a sickly, waxen pallor.
She coughed twice, seemingly very ill.
"I worship the Cat God. Sorry, our beliefs conflict. It looks like we're not on the same path," Xu Ye told the old woman warily as he left the café.
He had no desire to get dragged into more trouble.
"The Cat God?"
The old woman froze for a moment.
Xu Ye held Alice out before her. "Here, this cat. This cat helps me sleep more soundly. Especially when those soft little pink paw pads tread on your chest. Every step is so gentle. Would you like to change your faith?"
"Meow~" Alice gave an adorable cry, swishing two graceful tails across the old woman's cheeks.
"No... no, thank you... the Illusion Overlord is a god who truly exists. It can bring everyone into sweet dreams. It can help you sleep better, too."
The old woman grabbed Xu Ye's arm and spoke excitedly.
"Do you know? The apocalypse is coming. This world is about to be destroyed. It has already appeared in my dreams. You are the chosen one. You carry the Lord's aura."
I really do carry the Illusion Overlord's aura. Not only do I have one of Its eyeballs, but a wisp of Its aura is even sitting in my rectum...
Could this old woman really be in contact with the Illusion Overlord?
It has already passed away, leaving only some residual energy drifting through the world. Presumably, It left that behind to make plans and arrangements for the future of all living beings.
An upheaval of heaven and earth, an apocalypse... does that mean this world has reached the limit of what it can bear?
