"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"
"Why do those armored warriors all have syringes in their hands?"
"Oh no, are they really drawing blood?"
"What was that thing that looked like a smoke bomb just now?"
"Wait, look! They’re putting people in bags?"
...
Ignoring the shocked cries of others who were still reeling from the bizarre scene, Ye Kai had somehow settled onto the sofa, lifting a cup of Clear Tea and savoring it with delight.
Soon enough, a group of curious individuals who had gradually come to terms with the surreal reality began to gather around him one by one, staring wide-eyed without saying a word, simply soaking in the moment.
A circle formed around the long tea table, with Cassie Holmes taking advantage of her age and petite figure to comfortably drape herself over one of Ye Kai's arms, her bright eyes fluttering as she hugged it without uttering a sound.
Others either sat or stood nearby; even Nick dutifully pulled up a chair across from them, his face slightly flushed with excitement as he gazed intently.
"That is..."
Finally, it was Cassie Holmes, the youngest among them, who broke the silence. After all, she had the closest relationship with Ye Kai and was undoubtedly the cutest girl in the group.
Moreover, being just thirteen years old meant she couldn't hide her feelings like an adult could. She tilted her head back, blinking her big eyes as she sweetly said, "Ye Kai brother..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on! Don't use that tone with me."
Although Ye Kai found this pink-haired, quirky little girl quite endearing, he couldn’t handle such a delicate voice and immediately felt overwhelmed.
Indeed, who could blame this Loli for always showing a fiery temper in front of him? Of course, most of it was due to his deliberate provocation.
With a light chuckle, Ye Kai gently pinched Cassie Holmes' nose and said in a doting tone, "Feel free to ask whatever you want. In a bit, we're going to find Henry Cavill. After all, Kira's current condition can't hold out much longer!"
"Ah! What happened to Sister Kira?"
"Wait, wait..."
Upon hearing this, Nick immediately exploded with anger, standing up abruptly. He couldn't care about anything else; after all, it concerned his woman. "Ye, what do you mean by that? What happened to Kira? Why are you saying this?"
Kira, dressed simply but exuding a cool and serene aura, slightly furrowed her brows. "Are you referring to the fact that I just had a nosebleed?"
"What?"
Nick rushed to Kira's side, his tone anxious as he asked, "Kira, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Although everyone else was completely bewildered and had no idea what was happening, they exchanged glances and fell silent.
Kira managed a weak smile on her pale face as she gently caressed Nick's cheek, her eyes filled with deep affection. "Don't worry, Nick. We have a 'Lord God' here with us. If there's anything in this world that even a god can't resolve, then there's no point in your worry."
"Ye, let me join too. I can work for you as well. Please help me—what's wrong with Kira?" Nick was on the verge of tears. After finally reuniting with Kira, were they really going to endure the pain of separation again?
"Please, help me!"
The most painful thing in life is the separation of life and death. Those who have never experienced its torment can hardly understand that heart-wrenching pain—just like Nick, who could already imagine the possibility of facing separation again.
"Brother Ye Kai, please help Nick. He and Sister Kira have finally reunited! Can you? Please?" Cassie Holmes also had teary eyes and a choked voice as she leaned on Ye Kai's shoulder.
"Alright, alright! Don't worry. Even if we don't have the immunosuppressant to counteract the Ability Gene collapse, it will be fine."
Ye Kai nodded slightly, glancing at Nick, whose face was filled with pleading. Although he did not know the details of Nick's past with Kira, given his current demeanor and deep affection, there was no hesitation in taking action when the time came.
He gently rubbed Loli's head on his shoulder and wiped away the tears on her face. Ye Kai spoke softly again, "Did you all hear that just now? I am the Lord God. While I may not be able to reverse the will of the universe for now, I do have some ways to help a person maintain their vitality and avoid the Law of Death."
"Lord God?"
Cassie Holmes exclaimed, covering her mouth in disbelief. She never imagined that this kind and amiable Big Brother was truly a 'god.'
"Unable to reverse the will of the universe for now?"
"Maintain one's vitality?"
"Avoid the Law of Death!!!"
Everyone in the room, even Loli Kashi, had experienced many hardships. Moreover, they all possessed superpowers, allowing them to discern whether a person's words were sincere.
So the question arose: which excavation technique was superior?
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
The question then became: this handsome man, who had become their Boss and was the most powerful superhuman they had ever encountered—was actually—
A god!!!
He was truly a 'god'!?
Although they still could not clearly distinguish between the so-called Lord God and a true god, it was not difficult for them to uncover some truths based on ancient tales passed down through time.
There is an old saying that goes, "Divine Grace Like the Sea, Divine Might Like a Prison." This perfectly encapsulates their understanding of a being that transcends mortal existence.
They had never experienced what was known as Divine Might Like a Prison, but at that moment, they all simultaneously recalled their own experiences, feeling a profound shudder within their souls.
If this was Divine Grace Like the Sea, then what could Divine Might Like a Prison be like?
With this thought, a new question arose: which among the Divine Creations was stronger?
If someone were to ask this question, everyone in the room would likely respond in unison, "The gods of Olympus."
"Which!"
Teresa and Emily gasped in unison, and the others were no exception.
In that instant, regardless of gender, they all lost their usual calmness and wisdom; their minds had turned into a complete jumble.
Liu Yi clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding audibly. He didn't even understand why his blood felt like it was boiling.
Nick remained silent, Kira was quiet, Hook, Ping Ji, Teresa, Emily, Cassie Holmes—everyone was speechless, yet their bodies began to tremble slightly.
Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Ye Kai maintained an outwardly indifferent demeanor, but inside he couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
Law?
Law, you big fool!
Yet on the surface, he still spoke with an air of authority that commanded respect: "Though this world has decayed and fallen into depravity, it has not yet truly begun to decline. Therefore, I will not directly intervene in the evolution of the world. However, if this situation continues…"
"Does it mean we need another apocalypse to recreate humanity?"
Ye Kai's voice was not loud.
Yet, this seemingly quiet voice resonated in Nick and the others' ears like a thunderous explosion, shaking them to the core and making them feel unsteady on their feet.
"Although this world has decayed and fallen, it has not yet truly begun to decline."
"It will not directly interfere with the evolution of the world."
"However, if this situation continues..."
"I wonder if we need to annihilate the world once more and recreate humanity!"
This... this...
Even though this group of individuals had life experiences that ordinary people could hardly fathom, at this moment, they felt an overwhelming urge to faint.
In that moment of soul-shaking shock, memories from years, even decades past involuntarily flashed through everyone's minds.
So much suffering and bitterness, even blood and tears...
