"I am the God of New Life!"
Listening to the words of the black-haired woman, Lu Ze sneered. If you are a god, then I am a god-slayer. A mere manufactured monster dares to call itself a god? Today, I will beat you to a pulp.
"Die for me!"
In an instant, countless eyes appeared on the hideous monster, like the thousand eyes of a centipede. Each eye emitted a purple laser, intending to punish Lu Ze.
However, the latter quickly landed on the sea surface. With a forceful stomp on the water, his appearance changed, and a hundred-meter ice wall rose, directly blocking these attacks.
The core in his chest glowed brightly, and the form of a young girl appeared before him. She slowly hugged him and whispered, "Wait for me, I'll succeed soon..."
But Lu Ze did not hear this. He was slightly stunned, looking at the girl's appearance. Although he didn't know what she was saying, a sense of longing emanated from her.
"Anna... lend me your strength."
The girl slowly released him, and a scepter appeared in her hand. She then thrust it forcefully into the air. The sea instantly churned up a hundred-meter wave, which then turned to ice as it struck. It violently slammed onto the monster.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her somewhat depleted energy. She chose to return to the core. Not long ago, she had seen something she shouldn't have. She was even a little angry, making her desire for physical manifestation even stronger. She couldn't afford to expend too much energy now.
Lu Ze, wearing a crown, looked at the monster lying on the sea surface. It was almost time to finish it. He would use this person to bring your end completely!
"Fire burns as two, inscribed is the name, Herrscher of Humanity, Miss Elf—Elysia!"
A golden gate opened from above, and a beautiful pink-haired girl walked out. Seeing the scene before her and a familiar person, a smile appeared on her face.
"Long time no see—I wonder when we'll meet again, but that day should be soon? Soon, everyone will be together again."
Because her voice was too faint, Lu Ze couldn't hear it at all. He only looked at the familiar person and felt a surge of memories.
"Elysia... alas, bad memories."
Thirteen marks appeared above the monster in a circular formation. Then, Elysia conjured a longbow in her hand and slowly drew the string. The slender purple arrow instantly enlarged, its arrowhead radiating countless pink lights.
As if this arrow was incredibly powerful, she slightly loosened her grip with her right hand, clad in a white glove. The massive pink arrow heavily struck the monster from above.
"Ah...!"
A huge explosion then occurred on the sea. Seeing the mission completed, Elysia smiled gently and dissipated into countless golden rays.
As the smoke cleared, a large hole appeared in the body of the colossal monster, revealing countless intertwined parts of various creatures within.
"I... am a god! How could I... possibly lose? This is impossible!"
It tried to struggle, but even its powerful healing abilities couldn't mend its wounds. It collapsed after taking only a few steps, and then began to be dismembered. Each part came loose.
The countless animal parts turned into black ash and dissipated into the sea. Let these Demon Gods... completely disappear from their sight. kuAiδugg
A young girl lay quietly on the sea surface, not a stitch of clothing on her, like a cold corpse. Her black hair floated in the seawater, looking somewhat disheveled.
A young man in ornate robes appeared beside her, then slowly picked her up, and silently covered her with a piece of clothing.
"Where... am I? Who... are you? Why do you feel so familiar?"
How to put it? Thanks to the Fatui, the Demon God of Dust, Guizhong, was revived by accident. After all, their secret arts were quite magical, and it wasn't impossible for this outcome to occur.
It could only be considered a cause for celebration, but her condition was not good. She might need about half a month of rest. She had no memories, only a sense of familiarity with people, and an inexplicable dependence on Lu Ze?
In a sense, Lu Ze could be considered her savior. After all, rescuing her from that hideous monster was a form of salvation.
"I am... forget it. Let the past disappear into the past. Miss Guizhong... let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Zhongli! I am a wanderer..."
Seeing the harmonious scene, Lu Ze silently flew into the air, dispelling his Herrscher state. He didn't notice that from the dismembered corpses, a faint purple light drifted behind him.
It then slowly entered his body, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He only felt a sudden itch, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
However, this did not attract his attention, as his focus was entirely on the two people on the sea.
"Honkai... will eventually descend... the world... will also be destroyed! Use your body to end this civilization. Gods... are so arrogant, but that's fine... that day is also approaching."
Lu Ze suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eyes, but he didn't pay it any mind. He simply rubbed his eyes with his right hand, thinking he had overused them and was a bit tired.
After all, he hadn't slept well recently, and he was so exhausted, it should be normal.
Returning to shore, he began to check the injuries of everyone and provided some basic treatment. After all, shouldn't everyone have a first-aid kit?
"Thank you, Manager... You have fulfilled a dream I shouldn't have had. But Guizhong seems to want to stay by your side. I wonder if you can take her in?"
To him, Guizhong was a close friend, someone he could talk to and share with, with no romantic feelings involved.
However, to another person, Guizhong was extremely fond of him. But they were destined not to be together. Rather than that, it was better to start anew and let her make her own choices again.
"My name is... Guizhong... Can I stay by your side? Although I can't do anything, I can learn. At the very least... I think my mind is quite sharp."
Faced with the requests of two people, Lu Ze had no choice. After all, his house was quite large. It was fine to keep one, and fine to keep two. Moreover, more people made for a livelier atmosphere. This was of no consequence!
Besides, he had free laborers, which he couldn't be happier about.
"Of course. I have plenty of empty rooms here. If Miss Guizhong wants to stay, she absolutely can."
