Chiyo Eine: ?
Wait, hold on, what was she seeing?
Standing on the balcony of her own ho, she could hardly believe her eyes.
From its initial, makeshift founding to what was now arguably the most powerful organization in the world—how could it just dissolve like this?
Frowning deeply at her phone, she figured that Xie Antong, no matter what, had to be thinking things through more thoroughly than she was. So she simply asked directly:
"Have you thought this through?"
The response on the other end was just as swift:
"Yeah!"
Right. The original purpose of creating this organization was to deal with that person. But now, that person no longer needed to be dealt with.
In fact, from the perspective of opposing The Ga and opposing the Gods, they had even ended up on the sa side as that person.
So yes, when even the very reason for its founding was gone, this organization truly had no reason to exist anymore...
Thinking up to this point, Chiyo Eine's smile turned a bit bitter.
The organization she valued most of all, disappearing for a reason like this—it was a little hard to accept.
"Alright. Is it because the aning of this organization's existence has beco aningless to you?"
"No! This is precisely the aning this organization was originally founded for!"
"Huh?"
She chatted with Chiyo Eine for a bit, but since she was still in this underground room of the Dragon Group, she couldn't go into detail.
So she didn't explain further and just said briefly:
"You should know that many of the people who later wanted to join Divine Punishnt are the kind who actively want to betray their human identity."
"So, to put it simply, the original purpose of founding Divine Punishnt was to attract these people!"
"But before, you probably didn't really understand what the Gods were all about, so I couldn't tell you."
"Anyway, help take a look—pass all of them! I still have things to do here."
In the Divine Punishnt organization, Chiyo Eine was her deputy, with authority over various aspects. So she decisively dumped this task onto her, saving herself the trouble.
Chiyo Eine stared at the content on the screen, dazed and lost in thought. Her emotions swung wildly—it felt like she had sohow been roped into so big plan again.
...
"What are you laughing at? You crazy or sothing?"
In the Dragon Group's room, Lu Ce spoke to Xie Antong beside him.
From a few minutes ago, for so unknown reason, she had been standing there by herself, grinning for no apparent reason.
No clue what she was looking at, or what she was thinking about.
Xie Antong snapped out of it, glanced around, and closed the ga interface in her mind.
Honestly, with her current level of power, multitasking was a piece of cake. But Pleasure's influence made her forget, just for a mont.
Xie Antong raised a hand to touch her own persistently upturned lips, then turned to Lu Ce with a smile:
"Is that so? If I've gone crazy, it's probably because you've rubbed off on too much."
"I just thought of sothing extrely happy."
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the room, reached out to touch the wall, and said to the Dragon Group mbers:
"You've got a Godslayer Spike buried in this room, right?"
"It does make the room very defensively strong and hard to detect from outside. But it also cuts off your chance to sense what's happening out there."
"For example... in fact, They are already announcing Their arrival. You just didn't notice. Why don't you take a look at the ga's public channel now?"
The Dragon Group mbers were all stunned. Then, in unison, they stood still as if frozen, unmoving.
It looked a little eerie—they were like Xie Antong had been just a mont ago, entering their own minds to check the ga channel.
Usually, nothing useful ca out of the public channel, so they rarely bothered to look.
But not looking was fine—until they did. Only then did they realize that, right after the Grand Elder heard the locations of the divine descent, a massive number of "ntally unwell" people had appeared there.
[I knew it! The Ga didn't disappear forever. It's coming back now.]
[ too. I felt the call. The Gods are descending!]
[You all feel it too? That indescribable sensation. Can we hurry up and join the new divine kingdom?]
[I thought it was just an illusion! The Gods won't hold a grudge against us just because of those who gambled against Them, right?]
The normally chaotic world channel had now beco eerily uniform. It was all about these things, flooding the screen nonstop, drowning out every other ssage.
Everyone's faces gradually turned darker than the bottom of a pot. They could clearly see that a considerable portion of these people were wavering.
Many still thought the return of the Gods and The Ga was a good thing.
As for the previous acts—that life-crushing ga content—so claid it was because people like "Sin" had resisted too fiercely.
Others felt that while the Gods might indeed bring disaster, They were too powerful. Surrendering early might just let them survive.
It was truly a case of every man for himself, each with their own way of bowing down. They all looked like they were about to kneel.
"This..." Long Jiu's lips turned a little pale. The overwhelming flood of information made him feel like all of humanity simply had no intention of resisting at all.
"Don't just 'this this that that.' There are probably people who want to fight back, but they're keeping quiet at tis like this. The biggest group should be the fence-sitters."
Xie Antong said, snapping the elders out of their trance. Then she turned to look at the Grand Elder:
"What do you think? 'Sin' just said that this kind of world-class civil unrest is better coming early than late. What's your take?"
Nie Jiu Tian's face wrinkled up. He let out a sigh.
"If it's not an extre situation, those who want to betray humanity don't jump out so easily."
"Now... it's already late again..."
"It's not late. There's still ti. Instead of waiting for chaos to erupt after They really arrive, I'd rather start a fire right now. What do you think?" Xie Antong said with a smile.
"You an your Divine Punishnt?" The Grand Elder instantly caught on.
"That's right~ Hahahahaha! So of them probably can't wait anymore, thinking about being the first to surrender, saving their lives, and maybe even getting so benefits."
"Their desire to surrender has peaked. Now, all they need is a leader to lead the charge!"
"And my Divine Punishnt... is exactly the leader that best fits their standards!"
Xie Antong pointed at herself and laughed. Her smile was completely unrestrained now. This was the world-class entertainnt she had thought of earlier. It was also the path she had found to grow the power of Pleasure.
"But they never imagined—before they could betray humanity, I had already betrayed them! Hahahahaha!"
