Chapter 918: The End of Death
Chapter 918: The End of Death
Only two people could be immediately rescued?
After hearing the Third Generation Director's announcement, the four directors below Terminus Cliff exchanged glances, and the Cancer Director spoke up first, waving his hand.
"You guys choose, I don't have many years left anyway. Going up and coming back down after a short while is unnecessary trouble."
"Ahem...no!"
The Taurus Director shook his head and spoke up.
"You're the one who should go up. Currently, there's no one who can perfectly inherit the God of the Belly Desire. Even if we use other means to temporarily seal it, it's still best for you to watch over it."
"Joan of Arc is right."
The Sagittarius Director, standing nearby, nodded slightly and spoke without expression.
"We are directors of the Purge Bureau. We should consider the Bureau's situation first. Currently, none of the cleaners who inherited the Cancer Director's secret technique have matured. There's no suitable replacement for you, so you should go up."
"I have many apprentices in the Sagittarius Palace who can use the secret technique together. Even if I, as a director, am not present, there will be someone to fill in when Sagittarius techniques are needed. Moreover, my lifespan is also limited. So, I should be the one to stay."
"My situation is similar."
After the Sagittarius Director's analysis, the Taurus Director calmly added,
"The Third Generation Director surpasses me in the forging secret technique. He can perfectly replace my position until the next Taurus Director appears. So, I am the one who should stay."
"I also..."
"You should go up."
Interrupting the Pisces Director, the Taurus Director coughed a couple of times and gently advised,
"Your soul state is special, with four souls taking turns controlling your body. You'll be heavily affected by the Authority of Death. So, it's best for you and Cancer to go up together as a precaution."
"Alright, alright! Let's do that then!"
Seeing that the Taurus and Sagittarius Directors had decided to stay, the Third Generation Director, who had been listening from the edge of the cliff, nodded repeatedly and happily called out,
"Hey, come on, shoot! Quickly bring those two kids up here!"
"Okay."
Seeing the Third Generation Director's beaming smile, Lyon nodded in agreement. He then picked up a sniper rifle and went to the edge of the cliff, firing a shot that exploded the Taurus Director's head.
"...!"
"...!"
"...!"
(＃Д)(＃Д)(＃Д)?!!!
"Damn, I missed..."
Glancing at the Third Generation Director's frozen smile, Lyon's fair face turned slightly red. He apologized with a guilty expression,
"I'm really sorry, my marksmanship is a bit rusty... Should we discuss this again?"
"...!"
You kid...
As the aura of death rapidly dissipated, the first to be resurrected, the Taurus Director, helplessly looked at Lyon, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Missing the shot was just an excuse. Due to Olivia's influence, among all the directors, Lyon had the closest relationship with the Taurus Director. This kid must have felt reluctant to let him suffer below, so he deliberately shot himself first. What a situation...
"It's fine, this is good too!"
As the Taurus Director looked at Lyon, feeling that he should say something but also shouldn't, he was at a loss for words. Suddenly, the Pisces Director's voice echoed from below the cliff.
"I'll only be affected during soul switching. Taurus Director has soul scars, and her situation is even worse. It's best for her to go up... As for the remaining chance, let's give it to Cancer. After all, if he doesn't go up, there will be no one to manage the God of the Belly Desire."
"Okay."
After a slight nod, Lyon looked at the Pisces Director apologetically and aimed his gun once more. This time, his aim was impeccable, and with a bang, he shot the Cancer Director directly in the forehead, bringing him up efficiently.
Although it might not sit well with the Pisces Director, this confirmed that the Old Man of the Third Generation was indeed "avoiding" every generation's Taurus Director!
After a quick glance at the Third Generation Director's mournful expression, Lyon confirmed his suspicions and turned to address the remaining two Directors below.
"Archery Director, Pisces Director! Rest assured, I'll quickly find and deal with the two Pillar Gods and get you both out of here as soon as possible!"
"..."
Your words make it sound like the Pillar Gods are just cabbages by the roadside, available for purchase at any time...
Hearing Lyon's words, the Directors present couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. Even the Taurus Director, who had the most faith in Lyon, couldn't resist offering a few words of caution, reminding him not to act recklessly.
After nodding in agreement and promising not to take any reckless actions, Lyon silently opened the badge panel and equipped a brand-new badge with a dull gray color.
[Through a battle that was literally filled with death, you successfully completed an unprecedented hunt, devouring all the beings in the Netherworld above the True God level.]
No mistakes in their well-kept, complete...
[Your Golden Grade Hidden Badge "Voracious God of Food" has successfully evolved into the Chromatic Hidden Badge "I Am the End of Death (Ash Gray)"]
[I Am the End of Death (Chromatic - Ash Gray - Unupgradable): Life is a journey towards death, and death is a festival that is bound to come; life dissolves into death, like water disappearing into water... and then I drink it all.]
[Equip Effect: After inflicting a lethal injury on any "Living Being," you will temporarily gain the special state "Water Drinker."]
[Water Drinker: When a newly dead "droplet" passes through the sky of the Netherworld and you send it into the lake below Terminus Cliff, you will appear in this crystal-clear lake.
If you find this newly dead "droplet" in the lake and choose to drink it, no matter how large it is, it will completely return to the world's origin and be granted an equal end.]
[Upgrade Path: Already at the highest level, cannot be upgraded further.]
[Hidden Trait: Your existence has occupied a portion of the death rules, so all Pillar Gods who have mastered the "World's Principles" will immediately understand that being killed by you will not result in a wait for resurrection but will face the most absolute end.]
"Hmm?"
The moment Lyon equipped "I Am the End of Death," Emma, standing beside him, paused slightly, then immediately looked at him with a surprised expression. At almost the same moment, a booming sound like a drumbeat came from the direction of the Third Generation Director.
"My apologies, my apologies~"
After sensing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the Third Generation Director quickly covered his chest and chuckled nervously, "I'm feeling a bit unwell... Well, since we've saved everyone we could, I'll be heading back now!"
"..."
It seemed that in addition to the hair belt, the Third Generation Director's heart, which he had in life, was also being utilized.
Seeing the Third Generation Director, who didn't even glance at him and hurriedly covered his chest before quickly climbing into the coffin, Lyon didn't say much. Instead, he turned to Emma beside him and asked with a meaningful look, "Emma... Senior, now that you've become the new Lord of the Netherworld, what are your plans?"
What are my plans? Emma blinked, instantly understanding Lyon's intention.
"Although I have a good understanding of death, I'm not very familiar with the Netherworld... Do you have any suggestions?"
"Yes."
Glancing at the 49.9% Netherworld Analysis in the Hidden Traits of [Materialism], Lyon couldn't help but smile. Then, with a glimmer in his eyes, he said,
"The current Netherworld is too cruel, and the process of helping the departed return to the world is too painful. Let's make it a bit gentler... Let's add the eighteen layers of hell for now!"
