Chapter 501

Of course, if you say, not just their mortal powers, such as Merlin, then the evil god's offspring is indeed not worth mentioning.

"However..."

Kagetane Hiruko's eyes flashed, seemingly thinking about something, and finally made up his mind before solemnly saying: "Just like I said before, even Arima Kisho joined our explorer team later, probably because I was more cautious, only I and Tendou survived in the first batch, so only we know... three."

281. Satoru Gojo: I told you not to be a damn jinx!

Originally, it was impossible for Kagetane Hiruko to reveal this secret.

This secret, which they learned from that first prehistoric ruin that appeared among their first generation of explorers, would only be buried by him forever.

But now, since it was impossible for him to become one of Them, then...

He took a deep breath: "In that first ruin, the temple that collapsed just two hours after it appeared, there is the most fundamental secret about the evil god, about the end of the world."

"The most fundamental secret of the evil god?"

Yusaku Kudo frowned, having a bad premonition: "In your world, wasn't it destroyed by the evil god's offspring?"

"Correct, what destroyed our world was what the outside world calls the evil god's offspring, which is what we 【Perfect Humans】 call the Lullaby, a device used by the old kings of the past to appease the evil god and let it sleep, but..."

Kagetane Hiruko seemed to be caught in some terrifying nightmare, recalling the ruins that buried nine layers of their explorers.

That was the terror that first shattered all his pride as the strongest modifier.

Compared to that, the ghouls, viruses, and messy crises in their world were simply like dust.

"What Arima Kisho and the others don't know is that the old king who made the Lullaby was just the last old king, and these Lullaby raw materials have little to do with the evil god, but..."

Kagetane Hiruko swallowed, his eyes showing fear.

"... they are the earlier old kings."

"In the ancient era, the last old king slaughtered the kings who kept humans in captivity, made the Lullaby with their corpses, and appeased the evil god into a deep sleep, which led to the later era."

"This is the greatest secret of ancient times."

"But ten years ago, I don't know if it was the influence of cultists or the greed of human nature, major organizations coincidentally studied the evil god derivatives obtained from the ruins, created the 【Apocalypse Virus】, 【Dead Body Virus】, 【Dragon】, 【Gastrea】, causing the Lullaby to fail, which led to the evil god disaster..."

"Cultists again?"

Killing intent flashed in Yusaku Kudo's eyes, and even Yukiko Kudo beside him showed disgust.

Damn it, in any world, can't these rats die out?

Kagetane Hiruko didn't care about the killing intent on their faces, seemingly enduring great fear, and said with difficulty: "The so-called evil god's offspring destroying the world is just them, who transcend the world, instantly absorbing the spirituality of the vast majority of humans as a sacrifice to restore themselves."

Yusaku Kudo was stunned: "You mean?"

Kagetane Hiruko said tremblingly: "They are about to wake up!"

Among the forty-six perfect humans, he ranked tenth, not strong, not weak, in a part that was not easy to attract attention.

It wasn't that he couldn't be stronger, but he was afraid.

Afraid that the so-called completion ritual was a trap, and sublimation into a god was a lie.

But facing such an existence, no matter where you hide, no matter how you struggle, it's meaningless if you don't become one of Them.

That's why he needed to observe.

Even Arima Kisho, Furuta Nimura, and others obtaining the highest completion blueprint and becoming the strongest 【Perfect Humans】 had his hand in it.

In fact, he originally chose Furuta Nimura, who was the strongest and most deep-thinking, because only the most outstanding people had the greatest success rate.

But it seemed he was too outstanding, sensed some danger, and let Arima Kisho surpass him.

No.

Perhaps Arima Kisho also sensed it.

It's just that his choice was to face it.

Unfortunately, everyone was arrogant.

Never thought that the new world would have power that transcended or even crushed them, causing everyone's planning to become a joke.

Even forced, released the Lullaby, letting everything enter a countdown...

"What time is it now?"

Kagetane Hiruko thought of something, looked at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and asked with a trembling voice.

Yusaku Kudo also felt that something was wrong, looked at his watch: "Twelve twenty-seven."

"How long... how long has it been since we lifted the Lullaby restriction?"

??????

"The evil god's offspring were released by you?"

Yusaku Kudo's face was stunned, then he grabbed Kagetane Hiruko's collar and lifted him up, roaring: "Can you bastards be any more of a jerk?"

Any evil god's offspring, placed in an ordinary world, is a crisis sufficient to destroy the world.

Just in these three hours, I don't know how many powerhouses from all over the world who supported them died or were injured, and even his only son who turned into a child was on the front line and didn't have time to evacuate.

Change to another world, it would fall at the first time, three hours is enough for hundreds of millions of people to die miserably, and countless families to be broken.

Yusaku Kudo broke his defense.

His demeanor was completely gone.

He really didn't expect that these bastards could be such animals.

"Yusaku."

The beautiful woman, Vermouth, took out a syringe with flowing silver liquid, smiling warmly: "Use this."

Vaguely, one could see that it was actually countless dense worms, the rolling of the liquid was actually the worms having fun.

Soul virus.

The latest masterpiece of the wine factory that keeps pace with the times.

It can give transcendent beings who ignore physical pain a novel experience deep into the soul.

Vermouth, who used the pseudonym Belle, roared in her heart.

Bastard, you almost killed the son she recognized herself, right?

But...

"Tell me, damn it, tell me how long it's been since now!!!"

Kagetane Hiruko didn't pay attention, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he washed Yusaku Kudo's face in his roar.

This kind of fear and urgency instead made Yusaku Kudo calm down.

"Three hours and eleven minutes... about three hours and eleven minutes."

"Three... three hours???"

Kagetane Hiruko seemed to be drained of his strength, sat powerlessly on the broken ground, his whole person dazed.

"It's over."

"Everything is over."

Originally, they planned to set up the ritual within ten minutes after releasing the Lullaby, trying to let one person try first, and then others scattered to hold it simultaneously.

At least ten people had to ascend first to have the possibility of operation.

The operation to accommodate everyone in this world and shelter them in the so-called paradise.

Because...

Even if they completed the sublimation, their young bodies, even ten against one, could only barely drag out one awakened old king.

And because he knew the countdown was approaching, he, who had always been cautious, was the first to go up.

Then he was the first to hit GG...

"Hehe, hahaha..."

Kagetane Hiruko laughed hollowly, his weird posture scared Yusaku Kudo.

"What level is the old king? How big is the gap compared to the evil god's offspring state?"

"Gap?"

Kagetane Hiruko hooked a weird smile: "Gap? The gap between a corpse and a god?"

"It's called an old king, but that's a god, a god in the true sense?"

God?

Yusaku Kudo's mind flashed like lightning, and he blurted out: "So this is what we really need to face!"

In fact, the smart people in various countries and among the people had long expected it.

The big shots are not their babysitters, it's impossible to help them solve everything.

Moreover, under the extinction-level crisis of true gods, they might not be able to take care of them.

That's why there is this series of various opportunities that other worlds can't even dream of, and this transcendent era that is pushed intentionally or unintentionally.
