Chapter 263

Tony Stark slightly narrowed his eyes, paused in thought, then spoke sharply, launching the first attack.

"Now that I think about it, it's indeed suspicious and strange—randomly dragging others into our conversation."

I originally thought it was the chairman's suggestion... Aizen.

Tony Stark has never underestimated Aizen's vigilance.

Even though he knew members within the society couldn't harm each other.

Aizen pushed up his glasses, wearing a helpless smile.

His posture radiated gentleness and refinement, like a scholar or a teacher.

He looked nothing like a powerful warrior.

"This man is the Emperor of Japan's personal attendant! I originally brought him here to test whether a thought in my mind was correct."

"But now, since Mr. Stark has eliminated the world's virus source, the mission is complete—let's drop it for now."

Accelerator glanced at Aizen and let out a noncommittal sneer.

Still, he said nothing more, drank a glass of milk, and resumed eating his eggs.

"What idea?"

Su Han, however... felt a flicker of curiosity.

Aizen rarely does anything without reason.

In other words, Aizen must have had a confident idea before taking real action.

"Let the Emperor's attendant answer that."

Aizen sighed.

The middle-aged attendant stepped forward and bowed deeply to everyone present.

His demeanor was extremely deferential.

Yesterday, Aizen demonstrated undeniable, terrifying power within the Imperial Palace.

Power capable of toppling a nation, destroying a nation.

The Emperor of Japan was utterly terrified by the power Aizen displayed.

He dared not defy Aizen's "suggestion."

"His Majesty wishes to enshrine your names within the shrine."

"To make you deities worshipped by Japan's shrines."

The middle-aged attendant bowed and nodded humbly.

Tony Stark froze mid-motion, staring at the attendant's face, then turned to Aizen, his lips twitching several times.

"Aizen Sōjirō, are you serious?"

Tony Stark's expression was utterly bizarre—he suddenly felt an urge to laugh.

He, Tony Stark, the ironclad pillar of the tech side, actually had someone asking if he'd allow himself to be enshrined as a god? Aizen, are you trying to laugh me to death so you can inherit my Stark Enterprises fortune? Aizen sighed softly, "Originally, I considered that even if you destroyed the entire world's virus source, there might still be people in this world who control the virus's power."

"So, if we are enshrined as deities, and Japan's government spreads the narrative that the virus crisis is being watched by gods—"

"Then even if someone still controls the virus's power, they won't dare ignite a second bio-crisis."

Aizen's eyes gleamed.

Before the bio-crisis ended, he had already prepared thoroughly.

But he never expected this... to last until Tony Stark eradicated every single pathogen.

And then it ended completely.

The society's mission can be submitted; this matter truly requires no concern.

Even Aizen had never doubted the society's system capable of crossing infinite worlds.

"No interest in being enshrined as a god."

Law glanced at Aizen and sneered.

As a demon king, he even made it his mission to kill gods.

Being enshrined as a god held zero appeal for her.

Accelerator remained silent throughout.

He indicated that, as someone of the tech side,

he had not yet defected to the mystical side by becoming a god.

Aizen's face showed a helpless smile, his voice low.

"It's such a good idea, yet no one supports it! How truly... frustrating."

The Kōsaka siblings ate quietly.

They dared not interject into this conversation.

Being enshrined in a shrine might sound appealing, but it's a problem only the big shots need to consider.

Someone like us, with no power at all, should stay low-key.

"My lords, you need not worry too much! We only ask that you acknowledge we enshrine you not as an insult."

The middle-aged attendant wiped sweat from his forehead, carefully observing them, speaking sincerely.

"We will write your legends ourselves! You need do nothing."

"If there is any offense... we willingly accept your punishment."

After thinking it over, Su Han's gaze swept across Wugeng Liuli, then flickered slightly as he nodded in agreement, "If it doesn't interfere with us, then do as you wish."

Su Han agreed not because he feared a second bio-crisis.

The system had already confirmed it—how could such a thing happen? He was thinking that if we acknowledge this, perhaps Wugeng Liuli's life will improve in the future.

After all, unlike the Kōsaka siblings, Wugeng Liuli truly possesses supernatural power—she can transform into the twelve-winged fallen angel.

Going to become a god really carries not the slightest contradiction.

If Wugeng Liuli were to become an officially recognized god of Japan, her life in this world would undoubtedly be far better than before.

The middle-aged attendant stiffened, nearly thinking he had misheard.

When he raised his head again to gaze at Su Han, his eyes filled with gratitude, his lips trembling as he bowed repeatedly.

"Inexpressibly grateful! Truly inexpressibly grateful."

In truth, the Japanese government did not wish to create a group of gods.

To the Japanese government's eyes, Su Han and the others were more like individuals possessing extraordinary power, not true gods.

The key issue was that Ranran had previously displayed power that was utterly terrifying.

It was power capable of destroying a nation.

Yet the proposal to enshrine those present as gods had come precisely from Ranran.

If Su Han and the others refused, Ranran might say nothing.

But if Ranran turned around and sought trouble with them, what would they do? The Japanese Emperor dared not gamble.

The attendant dared not gamble either.

Because that… consequence was far too severe.

"……I'm actually a bit surprised the chairperson agreed."

Ranran Sōsuke adjusted his glasses, his voice tinged with something odd.

He cast a thoughtful glance at Wugeng Liuli, vaguely sensing something.

Yet in the end, he said nothing further on the matter.

"After all, it was just a simple favor."

Su Han took a sip of milk, then smiled at everyone present, "Alright, now that we've finished this meal, it's time to return home."

"Submit the quest. System."

The next instant, a crisp alert tone rang in the ears of everyone present.

"Ding! Quest completed.

Beginning quest settlement…"

"Chairperson Su Xiao Xiao led to victory, earning 200 points!"

"Ranran Sōsuke killed two Reincarnators, outstanding merit.

Earned 100 points."

"Tony Not the Richest successfully quelled the root causes of disasters worldwide, rewarded 800 points."

"Ichigo successfully killed one轮回者.

Earned 700 points."
