I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Feeling the warmth of the blade and hand soaked in blood and watching the lives of her parents disappear in her own hands, Yun You was stunned.

But soon, she understood it all.

Yes, isn't that exactly her father's and mother's personality?

Everything done by mortals is for themselves, especially life, which is highly valued; to live is so important that even facing family and friends, one can easily abandon them.

But Yun Jiang and Jiu Xiang were different.

For Yun You to survive, they would rather die.

Even if they were shattered to pieces, even if they lost the future, they wouldn't hesitate.

This is the family Yun You once had.

Cyberspace could entirely compose the couple's personality; it intended to use this fake reality to ensnare Yun You but only backfired.

The pair possessed Yun Jiang's and Jiu Xiang's personality, and even though it was an illusion, they were willing to sacrifice themselves for Yun You.

Even in such chaotic and disordered times, a person's spirit can still shine bright like a diamond.

And the sacrifice of Yun Jiang and Jiu Xiang also led to the breakdown of cyberspace.

But Yun You understood that this "victory" had nothing to do with her ability.

She hadn't yet crossed that threshold herself; clearing this level was only because her family reached out to her once more, nothing else.

"I can never forget you, and I will never forget."

Yun You wiped her red eyes.

"Old Jin asked me, for whom I truly live, and after I complete my revenge, how do I continue my life."

The little girl slowly raised her head, taking one last look at the gradually dissolving "home."

"In the past, I couldn't answer him, but now it's different."

"Next time I see Master, I can frankly say..."

"Whether it's Apprentice Death God Yun You or the rebellious wanderer Youyou from Bottom City, they live because of you and exist because of you."

"Avenging you is the meaning of my survival."

"Black Tiger, Hikamu... and those two beasts whose names are unknown for the time being, everything I'm doing now is to take them down, using their heads to honor you."

"And when they're all defeated..."

"I won't collapse into despair, rest assured."

Yun You slowly clenched her fist.

"I will find the root of the tragedy and continue avenging until there are no sources of our suffering in the world."

"I promise."

Speaking, Yun You slowly closed her eyes.

Though her words were resolute, whether the little girl can uphold her vow and continue forward after avenging is still unknown.

But, nonetheless...

Perhaps due to fully recognizing herself, after silently making the vow, the Death God Totem on Yun You's hand slowly began to transform.

The Three-Phase Diagram of books, scythes, and flowers gradually vanished.

Her frequently used Mad Dog Totem also twisted into a vortex before slowly transforming into a thick gray fog.

In the center of the fog, a silver dagger glimmered.

This is the Eighth Sequence—[Invisible]'s pattern.

Its appearance signifies that Yun You has unlocked the restrictions on the use of Invisible and gained its power.

However, speaking again...

At the moment, Yun You indeed hasn't noticed the change in the pattern.

Because her core consciousness is gradually returning to reality.

...

"Huff... Huff...!"

Yun You abruptly opened her eyes, breathing heavily the hot and humid air.

She kicked open the coffin lid on top of her, only to realize that she was still lying in that coffin, unchanged and undisturbed.

"How long have I... lain here?"

Yun You felt a raspy throat and swollen eyes... probably aftereffects of sobbing.

Scanning her surroundings, she saw the attendants of the red and white weddings fall one by one, along with the entire corridor gradually turning into gray revealing the original villa.

"Oh, this is the scene of cyberspace collapsing."

Yun You realized.

This seemingly endless corridor, like her false "home," belonged to part of cyberspace.

When the final boss home was broken, the external corridor naturally collapsed, returning her to true reality.

[Foolish little Yun! You finally woke up!]

Master Zero's post-crisis voice suddenly arrived in Yun You's ears.

[Do you know, you slept for a whole 5 minutes! 5 minutes...]

[You're certainly unaware of just how dangerous your situation was just now. I thought both our little lives were going to be given up here]

[Luckily... Jack stood up, shielding us from 5 minutes of assault; otherwise, even with great abilities, you'd have fallen here]

Listening to Master Zero's words, Yun You's pupils shrank.

"Jack? Right... need to check on Jack..."

The little girl suddenly got up, yet saw Jack slumped heavily, sitting by his coffin, breathing heavily.

The mercenary's condition was bad.

Due to multiple contacts with pursuers and fighting enemies with melee weapons, his arms and legs had large patches of muscle skin dissolved, a fist-sized hole in his waist and abdomen; even timely spraying with Recovery Potion and bandaging still oozed blood.

Fortunately, supported by the "Nanometer Vajra Bone," his bones were largely undamaged, and future biotechnology could repair the flesh wounds.

However, such heavy injuries truly caused him significant suffering.

Even though the mercenary's demeanor was resilient with excellent pain tolerance, he still grimaced under the extensive wounds.

Yet even so, he never retreated a single step.

"Jack..."

Seeing Jack's miserable state, Yun You couldn't help but feel guilty, quickly climbing out of the coffin, taking out two [Healing Pill] from her pocket, and handing them to the mercenary.

"Sorry, this... is my fault."

The little girl lowered her head, speaking with embarrassment.

The apology was not just for hesitating in the dream but also for previously doubting Jack's actions.

At night, Frost Moon had told her that Jack seemed to have some suspicious actions.

Although she hadn't directly questioned the mercenary at that time, deep in her heart, seeds of doubt were planted, wondering if Jack really had issues, if he was influenced by "it."

But now, it was clear that this suspicion was indeed an undeserved accusation.

A person willing to risk their life to save you has no need to be doubted, because if Jack were truly influenced by "it," merely standing by would suffice; why bother saving?

So Yun You felt quite guilty.

However, seeing through it all, Jack seemed unconcerned, merely smiling and shaking his head.

"It's okay, Chica."

"It's not your fault."
