[Boss, I don't think... I like you that much.]
I want to commit suicide...
I don't want to betray you, but I also don't want to be a murderous monster again...
[I am human, and I cannot understand the actions of the Light God Society.]
[By killing the [ Heroic Spirit ], I've repaid all the love I had for you.]
[I'm sorry, boss, it's so hard for me to live. Please don't blame me, please don't bring me back to life. I really don't want to love you anymore...]
As Hela watched the words on the paper gradually blur, she gripped the paper tighter and tighter.
That most intense emotion, which Hela most wanted to forget, tore into her heart like a ferocious beast.
Guilt and sadness.
The same emotions she felt when Xing Lan died constantly challenged Hela's rationality.
Everything before her eyes slowly blurred, and a tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the paper.
She was slightly startled.
Hela stretched his hand to wipe the corner of his eye and looked at it in front of him.
So it was tears...
I never thought I could actually cry.
" Aidan must not be resurrected."
"What?" Ye Yiqing frowned slightly, somewhat unable to believe what Hela said.
Hela turned her head, tears streaming down her expressionless face. "I said, you are not allowed to resurrect Aidan."
"... good."
Ye Yiqing said nothing more, but silently nodded in agreement.
A chair made of flesh and blood slowly rose behind Hela, and she plopped down on it.
Hela, who was sitting, looked somewhat somber, with tears constantly streaming down her face.
" Tuote..."
"Here comes, boss." Tuote immediately walked to Hela's side.
A pair of large, watery eyes looked at him, and you could clearly see the fluctuations of emotion in them.
Am I a good leader?
"This..."
Tuote's glasses gleamed, and after a long pause, he slowly spoke.
"I don't know what makes a good leader, but judging from your position in Aidan's eyes, you're not a good leader."
"But more accurately, it was Aidan who followed the wrong person."
Hela slowly lowered her head, and began to recall her past after meeting Aidan.
It seems that... besides giving Aidan a scarf, she really didn't give him anything else.
Instead of helping Aidan do what he wanted to do, he kept asking him to do what he hated.
He knew Mingming that Aidan liked him, but he never reciprocated, leaving him to struggle in a game where there seemed to be no way to improve.
Perhaps, it really was I who let Aidan down, let down this boy Mingming possessed limitless potential and could even become the strongest human.
The little hand unconsciously touched her belly, thinking of the others who were willing to sacrifice their lives for her, only to be killed by her.
Hela wiped away her tears, and began to reflect on whether everything she had done was truly the right thing to do.
Are humans really just pests?
At the same time, Ye Yiqing took out a small, high-tech metal ball from his pocket.
Press a button the size of a sesame seed and toss it casually on the ground.
The metal sphere rapidly expanded, growing to the size of a single cell in the blink of an eye.
Everyone except Hela focused their attention on this.
Ye Yiqing showed no sign of heartache, and quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.
A flash of cold light, and the entire metal sphere was split in two.
A timid girl was huddled in the corner of the metal sphere, looking at everyone with a fearful expression.
The girl seemed to have mental problems; she kept making strange noises and backing away.
Even when he was leaning against the wall, his legs kept pushing against the ground.
Tuote immediately recognized the girl as Meng Yuan, a member of the [Godslaying] Squad and one of only two [Thought] ability users in the world.
Ye Yiqing showed no mercy, stepping forward to grab Meng Yuan by the collar and pulling her out.
Meng Yuan struggled frantically, screaming incessantly, but Ye Yiqing casually tossed her to the ground.
"Who is this? So pitiful..."
[Spring] couldn't help but feel sympathy, [Winter] offered an explanation.
"This must be the key to our integration; let her make a wish so that we can be united."
"However, she seems unable to communicate due to her current mental state."
Looking at Meng Yuan, who resembled a frightened kitten, Ye Yiqing squatted down and tried to look her in the eye.
Do you want your sister?
His voice was as gentle as a warm stone in the dead of winter, completely different from his previous rude actions.
Meng Yuan paused slightly, but she couldn't shake off the fear.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Ye Yiqing slowly smiled gently. If Hela could see this, she would definitely recognize that it was exactly the same smile he had given Hela back in the training camp.
"As long as you do as I say, you and your sister will be together forever."
"Since your sister isn't coming back anyway, why don't you try trusting me, what do you say?"
Ye Yiqing's words were extremely approachable, Meng Yuan gradually calmed down, nodding very slightly.
"Very good, you're very obedient."
Ye Yiqing smiled slightly, as if her scheme had succeeded.
He pointed to all the [Five Calamities] present.
"Next, all you have to do is make a wish, and they will all merge together."
Meng Yuan nodded gently again, but her eyes had become somewhat dim.
There was self-blame and remorse in it.
She has mental issues, but she's not stupid; she knows what everything she's doing means.
This means that humanity may perish as a result, and that everything the [Godslaying] Squad has done will be in vain.
But none of that mattered as much as his younger sister.
Without my sister, none of this would mean anything.
Come on, make a wish...
Ye Yiqing stared intently at the other person with one black and one red eye, as if she were chanting a death knell.
Meng Yuan stopped trembling and slowly stood up.
"Okay, now silently recite your wish in your heart, and be sure to fulfill it with your Life."
After saying that, Ye Yiqing looked at Tuote and Weier, "Let's leave first, we who are not involved."
After saying that, Ye Yiqing darted out of the cave like a nimble swallow.
The moment it touches the water's surface, it gets caught in an air bubble and leaves the area.
"Boss." Tuote looked at Hela and saw that she was still sitting there with her head down, not moving at all.
Tuote shook his head and led Wei'er toward the cave entrance.
Similarly, upon touching the water's surface, it is enveloped by a cluster of bubbles and slowly drifts away.
"I make a wish..."
As the faint buzzing of Meng Yuan echoed, a powerful force began to permeate every corner, stirring all the [Five Calamities] present.
They unconsciously moved closer to the central Meng Yuan, surrounding it, while Hela seemed oblivious, sitting at a distance.
"Integration..."
