"It's almost there, almost!"

Edward's face showed ecstatic joy as he immediately ordered to enter the final debugging phase.

The instrument entered its last stage, and in every corner of the world, many lost parts of this instrument had been gathered. Soon, this planet filled with sadness would witness a great revolution!

"Our great wish will soon be realized by the gods. This world will quickly return to the era of the gods!"

Edward sat silently in his wheelchair, praying.

"Oh great gods, may we create a world without separation by life and death, and endless sorrow."

"Forgive me for speaking out of turn, leader, but what if our plan fails..."

"It's impossible, there are no ifs!"

Edward's angry outburst startled General Ozheng, who quickly closed his mouth to avoid the leader's punishment.

"Although the idea of gods no longer exists in this world, divine prophecies still guide us in the right direction."

Yes, the gods exist!

If we must have evidence of their existence, then this giant mechanical base before our eyes is the best proof… the Temple of Divine Spirits!

(Only two months left until the Archangel Project)

The weather is not good...

The atmosphere of the date became more solemn and tense with the harsh weather.

"I came here to apologize to you, Yuanhui. I can't be with you anymore!"

Rejected? Yuanhui's heart skipped a beat. The whole world seemed to be mocking him.

"What are you talking about... No, I mean, didn't you say that you can only be happy when you are with me?"

"Yes, as long as I am with Yuanhui, I will be incredibly happy. Whether it was during our school days or now, I have always been happy."

Looking at Yuanhui, covered in thick snow, Lena's emotions were very complex at this moment. She gently wiped the snow off his jacket and whispered her feelings into his ear.

"Now I have to follow my father's wishes. Can you give me some time?"

Lena... She clearly likes Yuanhui. In her heart, Yuanhui has an irreplaceable position even by family, but reality always likes to play tricks on humans.

"I truly love Lena, so I want to know her true thoughts. I truly want to be with Lena forever. It feels like we are destined for each other. Every time I see you, why do I... shed tears?"

"Me too!"

As the streetlights illuminated her purple coat in the night, Lena left her first kiss on his lips.

Lena no longer sobbed but pressed his head against her warm chest with force.

"I like you, Yuanhui. I really do! I'm not sure if it was fate that brought us together, but the feeling of familiarity when I first saw you made me fall in love with you!"

Just after suffering a major blow, Yuanhui was killed again by a falling roasted chicken from the sky. Misfortune never comes alone!

But what does it have to do with her parents and the feelings that bloomed between them?

The date started with a good atmosphere, with each expressing their thoughts to the other, but in the end, Yuanhui felt like he had been dumped.

As he looked up at the vanished figure, he hesitated!

That almost farewell figure stabbed Yuanhui's chest like a ruthless knife. He had long expected this kind of ending.

His fist angrily struck the ground. He desperately wanted to tell himself, "This isn't true, is it?!"

At the moment he stood up and left, a reddened mark was left on the snowy ground. It was another joke played by the gods, but only mischievous gods could bury it in an instant.

No one would notice or pay attention to their pranks, because it had nothing to do with those people. Only when they all experienced the same thing would they understand...

After being educated by the police station for over half an hour, I was finally released without charge.

"Yuanhui!"

"...""What's the situation? Did Lena not come? Or did she come and reject you?"

As I reached the front of the park and bumped into Yuanhui, who had just come out from inside, I eagerly asked him about the situation. However, he didn't know how to answer.

With a bewildered expression, his face was pale as if he were a vampire. Even if he was rejected... it shouldn't be Yuanhui's style!

I wanted to run after him, but my feet were numb and rooted to the spot, refusing to budge.

"Yuanhui...!"

When I returned home, all the lights were already turned off. The living room and second floor were unusually quiet. Could it be that the club president is no longer here?

With an uneasy heart, I went up to the second floor and found no signs of her. Maybe she fell asleep because it was late?

"Club president!"

With an apologetic expression, I turned the handle of the club president's room and opened the door, immediately turning on the lights.

"How could...?!"

She wasn't in the room either. Where could she be?

I dialed the number saved in the call record of the new phone I bought. But it kept ringing on the other end with no answer!

"Damn, where on earth did she go?"

I searched every corner of the room, and it would be absurd to say it was just a dream when her room is still intact.

I turned on the TV in the living room and sat on the couch, eating potato chips under the faint glow of the screen. I also found a fast food container with remnants of leftovers on the coffee table. Did she finish everything?

"She really knows how to eat. She even finished the portion that I couldn't handle."

Wait, now is not the time to be amazed. I need to figure out where she went. I'm really burdening others.

I put on my coat and went to the school nearby. Unfortunately, the main gate is closed for students after 7 PM, and the dark teaching building was enough to give anyone the chills.

"Club president really doesn't make it easy for me. If anything goes wrong, it'll become a big deal for me!"

"Sir, are you talking about the president of the student council?"

"Yes, have you seen her?"

The security guards patrolling at the entrance were working tirelessly day and night, so I sought their help and asked about the club president's whereabouts.

"No, since it's already winter break, neither the president nor any other students came today. But we will conduct a city-wide search, and we believe we will find her soon."

"Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, Sir. The Zhongtian Family has been affiliated with the Chunjiu Family since a long time ago, so the young master's command is considered the Chunjiu Family's command!"

After going in a big circle, I still ended up back at my own home...

"I'll just leave if she's gone. Think about it, I don't have to go to school tomorrow either. Isn't this the result I wanted?"

The light in the room couldn't be turned on at this moment. Did the snow burn the wires somewhere? Well, there's nothing I can do, so I stumbled and ended up in the club president's room.

Isn't it better if she's not here? Then I can play games every day, eat junk food every day, and no one will bother me.

"She seemed to have said today that she was going back to her hometown, so there's no need to worry, right?"

I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, still having the warmth from the club president. In the haze, that warmth was gradually fading, and a sense of permanent loss was buried in my heart.

"..."

Where does this fear come from? I questioned myself in my mind. Why do I feel like this parting might be eternal?

"Open your eyes!"

It was that familiar voice again. She seemed to be warning me about something, so I opened my eyes under the compulsion of that voice.

"This...?!"

I couldn't believe it. I must be having a nightmare!

Everything about the club president in the room began to disappear, even the color of her in the photo of us on the bedside table started to fade.

"I said that when the God King no longer needs me, I will find peace. In this world without gods, the rules will continue to be broken."

"The club president disappeared?!"

I didn't want her to leave me like this. Whatever the reason may be, I just can't let go of her!

"Well, from today on, I will be the great hero exclusively for Sister Youmu!"A young boy was confessing his lifelong love to a girl by the sea.

"So please, marry me and let's be happy together!"

The girl fell into the boy's arms, but why did it feel like it tore me apart?

I tried desperately to search for them in my mind, but I couldn't find any trace.

"Ah...!!!"

Whether it's a god or a demon, who can forgive me? I'll never believe it!

Enduring the intense pain in my heart, I picked up my phone and dialed my father's number.

"Dad?"

"Hey, son...why do you sound so weak? Are you sick? Call for an ambulance, I'll come immediately!"

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask about Youmu?"

"Oh, you mean Youmu...who again?"

As soon as I mentioned Youmu, he suddenly remembered, but quickly forgot again.

How is that possible? Why do I feel a sense of unease? I quickly tried to remind him.

"It's Saigyouji Youmu, my fiancée! Dad, don't tell me you forgot her?"

"My son, have you been at home for too long and started having delusions? Besides, when did you have a fiancée?"

Snap!

I hung up the phone in disbelief and threw my phone towards the floor, leaving a huge dent in the wooden surface.

I no longer cared about those details. That nameless and overwhelming grief completely drowned my consciousness in an abyss.

"Why...why?!"

"Do I have to bear all of this? Do I have to shoulder everything?"

"I just wanted to live a normal high school life, why do I have to remember so much of the past?"

That's right...why didn't I think of it? Sighing to myself, I realized how foolish I was, incredibly foolish!

As I stroked the solid wall with my palm, I thought, wouldn't ending my life now lead to a better future?

That black strange creature, who claimed to be my sister Youmu, didn't she say that the most painful thing for a person is to bear the memories and emotions of past and present lives? Then let me put an end to it myself!
