She frantically beat the corpse of the Evil Mind with her whip, no longer caring about conserving ammunition, solely focused on eliminating all the monsters around her. It was in this state of lost interest that Heather, in search of Leonard's shadow, unknowingly arrived at the hospital that had already transformed beyond recognition.

Hurry! Quickly free me from here, I have my own unfinished business to attend to.

A disheveled silver-haired man collapsed in a dark corner, anxiously waiting in the darkness.

Since being imprisoned by Lilith several years ago, he had been stuck in this place.

It was extremely damp here, making one extremely disgusted. I long to bathe in sunshine, in a place shimmering with divine light, that is my true home.

"Lilith...you wicked witch!"

Yuanhui gritted his teeth, his face contorted into an even uglier appearance, and he forcefully slapped the water's surface with the sharp end of his arm, making a loud "clap clap clap" sound.

Although she was once an omnipotent deity... now she has become a demon!

If I can escape from here, the first thing I will do is find that man... and eliminate the group of misfits around her!

There are too many useless people in this world.

I will obey the will of the gods, and fight to the end.

As a deity with supreme honor, as the guardian of this world, I will offer up my own power.

Supported by unwavering faith, Yuanhui's heart echoed with thousands of vows he had made before.

Although Sara had already explored the last room, she still hadn't found the man who sought rescue. Instead, she discovered groups of Evil Minds and something resembling an altar.

Aside from these, there were two hospital beds placed side by side, with one of them bearing a strange and eye-catching emblem.

On the other bed lay an open book, and Sara walked over to pick it up.

"This is...Twilight of the Gods?"

"These characteristic things have been forgotten in modern times, only mentioned in very rare documents. It is known as the ritual of life and death, where life has already disappeared, leaving only death... isn't it?"

Fragments of memories erupted like a volcanic eruption in Sara's mind, and she seemed to see the emblem depicted on the bed - the emblem of death?!

"No!!!" Sara quickly threw the book aside and shouted.

Her palms felt as hot as being burned, while her whole body felt a bone-chilling cold, continuously breaking out in cold sweat.

Those were memories she didn't want to recall.

She stumbled out of the room, sitting in the corridor, panting heavily, her heart racing. In that brief moment, Sara felt a blend of pain and sadness.

Although she wanted to stay as far away from that ward as possible, she also knew she couldn't do it right now. Buried memories whispered in her mind - that man is up ahead! Hidden in the passage of this room, someone is guiding me.

After finally regaining control of her emotions, Sara got up from the ground and returned to the corridor.

Her intention was not to distance herself from the C4 ward, but to smoothly infiltrate its deepest part.

First, Sara found an empty plastic bag for intravenous fluids, and then she walked towards the Evil Mind she had encountered in the hallway earlier.

Then, she poured the green-colored liquid accumulated on the Evil Mind into the plastic bag.

With this green blood, Sara returned to the ward and began performing the steps of life and death as recorded in the book.

She poured the green blood on the other side of the altar - this represents death in the ritual of life and death!

As for life... it's a treasure lost to countless ages, but - it's now within reach!!!

With this thought, Sara poured her own blood onto the altar without hesitation.

I don't know what kind of structure this altar has, but it must be connected to the creation and distortion of this world, right?

After completing the ritual, Sara turned around and noticed that half of the room's floor seemed to have sunk into a hole that appeared out of nowhere, with a ladder leading down.

"Sara?"A man's voice echoed in the depths of darkness, heavy as if it had been baptized by countless years.

Sara dared not make a sound and cautiously peered down from above the hollow.

The faint light of the flashlight dispersed a small area of the surrounding darkness, exposing dirty concrete walls, rusty iron fences, arched ceilings...

And the floor was also filled with waist-deep water. A foul smell permeated the air, and the sound of running water came from deep within the cave.

It seemed that this was a prison built using the surrounding barriers and sealed off from a part of the space.

If someone was imprisoned here, then...

"Uncle Yuanhui?" Sara shouted towards the depths, "I'm Sara, I've come to rescue you! Where are you?"

"Thank you, I can finally leave this place," the voice still hid in the darkness, "and Lilith's boring wish will finally come to an end, her ambition to 'save everyone' or whatever! Hmph, can someone like her, who defies the gods, even accomplish that?"

The joy of being freed mixed with the anger of being imprisoned, and it could be heard that Yuanhui was very excited now.

"We need to stop her quickly! If we're too late..."

"Hold on!"

The explicit expression of 'murder' that Yuanhui mentioned made Sara feel a little discouraged. Although she also wanted to avenge her father, at least she didn't have such a clear consciousness yet.

Instead of wanting to save everyone, Lilith didn't seem like a compassionate person... Although Sara thought so, she felt that there was another self in her heart. Another self that didn't hate Lilith and deeply loved her.

After suppressing a slight dizziness, Sara said, "I don't quite understand! She isn't wrong, why would she do this?"

"What are you talking about, Sara?" Yuanhui's voice sounded surprised, "Justice itself doesn't exist, there's no right or wrong! Do you understand?"

"..."

Those words didn't sound wrong, but to Sara, there was a kind of disturbance in his voice.

When she talked on the phone, she didn't feel anything, but now hearing it firsthand... It seemed like a long time ago, a disliked face became clear in her mind.

"The God King is indeed a merciful existence, but even so, we cannot allow pretense and such things to happen. Good and evil are not the same, those who carry out justice are chosen by the God King, and only those chosen can pass through the narrow gate on the day of the God King's resurrection. The qualification to live in Sanronika should be given to those who diligently listen to the will of the God King, just like us. Isn't that right, Sara?"

"Yes, whatever you say," Sara replied helplessly.

By now, she was starting to feel a headache.

In her intense head, the face she didn't like had clearly emerged.

"I am different from you, we are not the same kind of person, and I don't want to go to the paradise you are in."

"Why?" The voice from the darkness sounded angry, "Are you a heretic? Are you trying to deceive me! So that's it... You want to betray me! Betray hope? Ridiculous, you actually want to destroy the great God King!"

"No, I just want to know what the Hope Seal really is."

"Pretending to be clueless in front of me is useless, do you think I will fall for it? I will never give up the seal! Because my duty is to protect a small part of death within the Hope Emblem for the God King, and the fate bestowed upon you is nothing but a cruel death!!!"

"Yuanhui, could it be that you..."

In Sara's awakened memory, a young Yuanhui held her hand.

A girl with a melancholic smile...

I like Dad the most, and I also like Uncle.

I really like everyone!!!"Anyone who goes against the will of God shall die!" Yuanhui shouted loudly.

Yes, he always shouted, shouting at Sara.

Silver armor clung to his body, countless thunderbolts plundered from the sky!

Death... with the sound of rushing water, Yuanhui emerged from the darkness, but his face was far from what Sara remembered.

"Who are you?"

Sara even doubted if she was seeing things, for the other person's appearance was too strange.

He was no longer human, although he looked much younger, he was nothing more than a mere embodiment of evil.

Sara raised her shotgun, she never hesitated when facing monsters.

No, even if Yuanhui still maintained his human form, she would not hesitate, right? Because her heart had already been occupied by fear and hatred brought by Lilith.

"Stop!" Sara firmly aimed her gun at Yuanhui.

Bullets flew out of the barrel and blasted Yuanhui away, sinking slowly into black liquid.

But this comrade did not die.

Indeed, this man did not die, instead, like a bolt of lightning, he swiftly approached Sara from beneath the water!

The bullets ran out, Sara, without time to reload, violently swung the shotgun barrel at him.

Plop!

Although this blow did not cause any significant harm to Yuanhui in the water, it did make him feel pain. Layers of water splashed up, and Sara, rising from underneath, let out a painful scream in this nightmarish space.

At this moment, Sara already had the handgun in her hand, and she aimed it in the direction of the sound.

The gun fired, illuminating the darkness with the muzzle flash, and the roaring gunshot was the scream of Sara's inner voice.

I am not a demon! I cannot forgive you for what you have done! You're even scarier than a demon!
