Chapter 1578: The last battle

There will always be new humans born...

Facing this statement that sounded matter-of-fact but was incredibly cruel when thought about, the Sage's Cemetery, which had already been completely smashed, couldn't help but fall into a dead silence.

Those who could become cleaners and sit in the position of Yellow Zodiac Branch Director could not be one hundred percent stupid people and must possess relatively normal judgment. Therefore, everyone present understood that although the Third Director's proposal was incredibly cruel, it was indeed the best choice at the moment.

Facing the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer supported by the entire Dead World, even if one were lucky enough to win, the casualties would be heavy. Directors like Sagittarius and Pisces, who have their own problems, would certainly die, wiping out the core strength of the Cleanup Bureau. By then, the entire living world would likely become a paradise for Outer Gods.

Therefore, the only way to protect humanity and the living world is to give up blocking the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer and let it go directly to the living world, effectively cutting off its connection with the Dead World, but...

"No!"

Grabbing the paper little bell floating beside her, the Taurus Director, whose veins on the back of her hands were bulging, was the first to break the silence. Her once kind and gentle face was now colder and harder than raw iron.

"Unless I die!"

"Sigh..."

Looking at the Taurus Director's knuckles that were squeezed white, the Sagittarius Director, who had been standing beside her, was silent for a moment, then shook his head:

"I agree to let it go."

"You?!"

"But I will stay and accompany you."

"?!"

Amidst the Taurus Director's astonishment, the Sagittarius Director reached out and stroked the little bell, while applying the strengthening secret arts of the Sagittarius Palace, and said expressionlessly:

"Letting it go to the real world is correct, but it will still have to be fought after it goes to the real world, and I didn't have much time to live anyway, so dying anywhere is the same."

"..."

"Ahahaha, you finally said a human word."

After laughing and adding a sentence, the Cancer Director took a step forward, stood behind the Taurus Director, and then reached out and completely twisted open his belly button.

And as the Abdominal God Prison opened completely, a large number of ferocious demons full of evil aura crawled out from his belly button like ugly black ants, standing on every inch of the Cancer Director's skin, roaring toward everything around them with full hatred.

"For the past fifty years, no matter what you think, I've had enough of being a coward."

The Cancer Director's mouth closed, while the micro-demons densely packed on his skin opened their mouths in pain, making harsh voices that didn't sound like human language.

"Fight first, talk about other things after dying!"

"..."

"Pisces? What do you think?"

"I..."

Looking at the Cancer Director who turned to look at her, the Pisces Director, who looked much older, couldn't help but sigh, then shook her head slightly, and said earnestly:

"I am still the same as before, standing with you."

"Then fight!"

Ignoring the Capricorn Director who seemed to want to say something, the Sagittarius Director stepped on the coffin lid that Hearing Hearing Li Ang was about to lift, leaving a golden footprint strengthened by secret arts on it, then looked around, and asked with a calm expression:

"This mission ends here. The subsequent mission will be carried out by us few directors. Later, we will hold back the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer; those who want to leave can do so on their own."

"..."

Leaving? After listening to the Sagittarius Director's words, the Yellow Zodiac Directors looked at each other's expressions, then shook their heads one after another.

If sacrificing only a small portion of humanity could solve the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer, some might choose to leave. But the weight placed on the scale right now is too heavy. Facing the result where half of humanity might die, there is naturally only one answer.

As for whether they will die if they stay... cleaners who are afraid of death died in missions eight hundred years ago, how could they be Yellow Zodiac Directors?

No one left? This is troublesome...

After looking up at the silent Six-Faced Elephant-Deer overhead, Director Sagittarius frowned slightly, stared at the seven Zodiac Directors again, and finally locked his gaze on Director Scorpio.

"Edward!"

After kicking Hearing Hearing Li Ang's coffin, which was thumping, toward him, the Sagittarius Director said with an tone that allowed no refusal:

"Aquarius is different from us, he cannot die here. I'll give you a mission, take him to the real world."

"I also want to stay..."

"You'd better not stay."

After interrupting the Scorpio Director, the Sagittarius Director couldn't help but frown:

"Your strength... I mean, your main combat anomaly is a doll that manipulates the living, which is useless against the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer who is a dead person. There's not much point in staying, so you might as well go back to the living world and wait. Wait for us... to finish fighting, then come over!"

"I..."

"You go, Edward."

Read every word correctly!

After gently persuading, the Taurus Director also stepped on Hearing Hearing Li Ang's coffin lid, pressing the knife tip that had been stabbed out back in, then turned to look at the Cancer Director.

"Understood."

After nodding to the Taurus Director with a look of understanding, the Cancer Director reached out and scratched his belly, "picked" six demons that were the same style as the coffin-carrying ones, and threw them out. These six pitch-black demons grew rapidly and carried Hearing Hearing Li Ang's coffin on their shoulders together.

"Go, Edward!"

Joining in the fun, he stretched out his foot and left a shoe print on Hearing Hearing Li Ang's coffin, then raised his chin toward the reluctant Scorpio Director, and promised with a smile:

"As long as you can bring back the future of humanity, this time counts as your great achievement, and I will rank you first in the year-end review!"

"..."

"Pisces? Do you want to step on it?"

"No..."

Facing the old friend who seemed to have regained his childhood innocence, the Pisces Director couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, then reached out and touched the Scorpio Director's heart and Hearing Hearing Li Ang's coffin, leaving a string of colorful bubbles, and then exhorted earnestly:

"My 【Bubble Dock】 is yours. If the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer chases after you, this thing should be able to block one full-power attack from a Pillar God each... Go."

"Okay..."

Facing the persuasion of the four directors, the Scorpio Director had to nod, threw out several transparent threads from his fingertips, and connected them to the six demons carrying the coffin.

"Six-Faced Elephant-Deer!"

After the Scorpio Director tied up the six demons and prepared for the retreat, the Cancer Director, who was covered in demons, took the first step out of the Sage's Cemetery and looked up at the six motionless figures above.

"Come on! Let us see the power of the Lord of Death!"

"Hehe."

Facing the invitation to battle from the Cancer Director, the Faceless One, who had been silent just now, suddenly laughed for some reason, and then, without caring about the disappearing coffin, said with emotion:

"The people of the Cleaning Bureau are really getting worse with each generation."
