Chapter 5186

"... You mean what?" After a moment of deliberation, the Goddess of Night finally spoke.

"No meaning at all—I just wanted to take a look. Seeing how big your reactions were, go ahead and try it yourself! After you're done, just put it back." Su Han replied indifferently.

The Goddess of Night said nothing. She felt either this world had gone mad, or she herself had.

You've already pulled out the Source Essence. How can you possibly put it back?!

That's Source Essence!

Originally, the gods secretly betrayed the Ancient Sun God precisely to devour his Source Essence... and indeed, after that, they became gods themselves, ascending to the pinnacle of this world.

Even though your strength far surpasses theirs, you can't possibly treat Source Essence so casually, can you?!

Su Han sipped his tea, turned to Kline, and asked with interest, "Kline, are you interested in Source Essence~???

"... Of course I'm interested! But if I have to kill these gods because of me, then no thanks." Kline let out a bitter laugh.

Gao Ban: "6666."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Fine! Very powerful."

Gao Ban realm: "To be honest, Kline... he's reliable!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Little K is just like this... kind and deeply human! Otherwise, how could he be so popular in the group?"

Gudako: "What a pity! If it were me... I'd just walk up and tear all four gods apart with my hands..."

Katsura Kotonoha: "Gradually descending into chaos! (Dog head. jpg)"

Edogawa Conan: "I still feel something's off! Lately, the president has seemed... so weird."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Shut up! What do you mean 'gay-acting'? I just adopted a son."

The Fool: "?"

Dr. Roman: "... This is insane!"

El Nastia: "I spat out my food in shock."

Kōjirō Jō: "Absolutely absurd... but in this group, it's normal."

Upon hearing Kline's words, the four gods' nearly shattered hearts settled once more.

The Goddess of Night gazed deeply at Kline, her expression complex. She had indeed placed great hope in him, but she never imagined he would spare her life under such circumstances.

If it were the Goddess of Night herself, she wouldn't have refused in that situation.

"You still want it, don't you?" Su Han regarded Kline thoughtfully, reading his emotions with Kenbunshoku Haki, then nodded slightly. "Good."

The next moment, Su Han snapped his fingers, and the void twisted. Then, one after another, crystalline forms coalesced within the void.

With each crystalline form's appearance, a new concept seemed to emerge in the void. The entire world trembled as if in response.

The four gods failed to notice the world's anomaly. They raised their heads, staring blankly at the solid crystals forming in the heavens, their expressions dazed, as if doubting they were dreaming.

No, Eternal Sun pinched his own thigh hard, then nodded stiffly. "It doesn't hurt at all... definitely a dream."

"... Of course it doesn't hurt," the Storm God's voice squeezed out through clenched teeth, "because you're pinching my thigh."

"`. It's insane. Truly insane." Lilith snapped out of her shock, shuddering violently, muttering to herself as if mentally broken.

In truth, even the Goddess of Night's mind was now in a state beyond description. She had indeed recognized what floated in the sky...

Yes, it was precisely the Source Essence they had just manifested.

Theoretically unique Source Essence had now appeared a second time... no, several more copies had appeared.

And it seemed these weren't discovered—they were created by this impossibly perfect youth before them, merely with a snap of his fingers...

If anyone—or any god—claimed they could create unique Source Essence, the Seven True Gods would have laughed themselves into madness, deeming them insane... because such a thing was absolutely impossible in this world!

It was encoded into the world's most fundamental source code.

Yet in this instant, the source code was broken... and so effortlessly. The ease and nonchalance with which it was done made it seem as if the man before them hadn't created an unimaginable miracle, but merely (got Wang Zhao) brewed a cup of tea.

"Take it." Su Han tossed four portions of Source Essence onto the ground before Kline. "This stuff wasn't meant to be crystallized... but in its original state, it's too unstable, so I stabilized its properties for you..."

"If you want to fuse it, just swallow it."

"You could even give it to your brother and sister—I don't mind at all. And in this state, it's non-polluting... slowly digesting it will let you reach the peak."

Saying this, Su Han tossed another portion of Night Source Essence to the black cat, one to the Demon Beast, one of Sun Source Essence to the Heavenly Maiden Beast, and one of Sun Source Essence to Lei Mu...

Kline stared blankly at the solid matter before him, swallowed hard, wrestled with himself for a long while, then gritted his teeth. With the expression and mindset of someone facing execution, he called out to Su Han, "... Dad!"

Su Han: "Hmm... Huh?"
