Chapter 1002: The Gemini Director
Chapter 1002: The Gemini Director
"You don't even know how to get back?" Lyon asked, his voice laced with disbelief.
The Serpent Director's expression turned anxious upon hearing Lyon's question. "You managed to defeat so many deities, but you can't handle something as simple as returning to the mortal realm?"
Lyon sighed, "Defeating them and returning to the mortal realm are two different things."
"How long have I been with the Cleanup Bureau? It's already impressive that I've achieved this level of strength. You can't expect me to be omniscient..." Lyon paused, then asked, "What about the Bureau Chief? Do you know how to get back?"
The red-haired Bureau Chief shook his head, "I've never thought of going back..."
He then turned his gaze to the captured deities behind Lyon and proposed, "You've captured quite a few deities. Surely, among them, someone must know how to return from the Source God Platform to the mortal realm."
That made sense.
After hearing the Bureau Chief's words, Lyon nodded slightly. He immediately activated his Fear Power, pulling several deities towards him. He inquired about the method to return to the mortal realm from the Source God Platform, but...
"The method to return to the mortal realm... seems like you can't learn it..."
"Hmm?"
"Wait, wait, I'm not lying! You really can't learn it!" The Goddess of Flowers and Midsummer, with her face as pale as a flower petal, stuttered in response, taken aback by Lyon's questioning tone.
"Our way of going to the mortal realm is through 'Descent.' We send revelations to our believers in the mortal realm and then descend through their invocations of our names, empowered by our authority. But neither of you are deities, and you might not even have believers, so..."
So the deities' method doesn't work for us?
Lyon exchanged glances with the Bureau Chief and couldn't help but frown. "Aside from 'Descent,' isn't there a more ordinary method that doesn't require deity powers?"
"Well... there might be another way." The Goddess of Flowers and Midsummer glanced at Lyon furtively and hesitantly suggested, "But this is the Source God Platform. Aside from deity powers and your Bureau's secret techniques, other positioning tools and anomalous objects cannot be activated here."
"So, once we leave the Source God Platform, those things will work?"
"Yes, yes, they will!"
"Then, how do we leave the Source God Platform?"
"Um... just walk out."
The goddess stole another glance at Lyon and whispered, "With your previous speed, it should take about six months to cross the boundaries of the Source God Platform."
"... Six months..." Lyon closed his eyes briefly, thinking of William and Melanie, who were probably struggling with their summer homework back home. If they had to wait for six months, they might as well be starting their winter break!
Lyon's thoughts turned to the escaped Dong Ya, and his brow furrowed. "What about the deities from the Extermination King's Assembly? They seem to move in and out of the Source God Platform with ease."
"The Black King has a palace within the Source God Platform. The deities who have joined the Assembly can enter and exit through that palace, but others have no such means..." The Goddess of Flowers and Midsummer blinked and suggested, "Or, perhaps, we could make a deal?"
Lyon, his expression grim, stared at her. "I know of a way, but in exchange, I hope you can..."
"I won't release you, but I can delay your fate a little."
"Huh?!"
"To be honest, the reason I captured you deities alive was to have you as a special meal." Lyon smirked at the stunned Goddess of Flowers and Midsummer. "But if you can save me six months, I can let you live a few more days. When it's time to select a deity for the pot, I'll put you at the end of the list."
The sound of a sharp slap broke the silence in the ruins, but there was no response. The ruins, covered in strange circular patterns, seemed devoid of any signs of life.
However, despite the lack of response, the persistent slapping sound continued, growing louder and more forceful. After nearly five minutes of continuous slapping, a blurry shadow, about half a person's height, slowly rose from the ruins, frowning as he grabbed his right hand, which was furiously slapping his own mouth.
"Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there a problem at the bureau?"
Hearing the child's voice from the mirror, the Taurus Director breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How are you doing now? Can your physical condition support you returning from the Source God Platform?"
"What happened at the bureau that even I have to be summoned back?"
The boy, barely over four feet tall, was startled by the Taurus Director's words and quickly stood up from the ruins, his voice filled with astonishment as he asked, "Who died at the bureau? Why do you even need me to come back?"
"No, no, nothing major happened at the bureau."
Hearing the anxious tone in the Gemini Director's voice, the Taurus Director couldn't help but sigh and quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, although we've lost quite a few people recently, the situation at the bureau is actually quite good. I contacted you mainly to ask for your help. Can you come back from the Source God Platform...?"
"Who died?"
"Well... the Sagittarius Director and the Pisces Director, but they're not exactly dead..."
"What?!?!?"
Hearing the Taurus Director's words, the boy, barely over four feet tall, was shocked. His voice, still in the midst of puberty, rose sharply as he asked, "The Sagittarius and Pisces Directors are dead? Two Directors died at once? What did you guys do?"
"Well, we didn't really do anything..."
The Taurus Director, feeling a bit guilty, explained, "We just had a fight with the Deadly Realm, and then we encountered the resurrected Hexa-Zhangle. Capricorn led the retreat to the Heavenly Mountain, and I, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Pisces were all taken out. But later, I and Cancer were resurrected... Well, the outcome was okay, let's not talk about that for now."
Feeling that continuing this line of questioning would only lead to more confusion, the Taurus Director quickly changed the subject and asked, "Jimmy, two of our people are stuck in the Source God Platform. Can you go and get them out?"
"What?!?!?"
