My mission in this world is to protect Akimoto Ichika and ensure she survives the game.
"Why are you looking at me?" The little child was a little embarrassed by being stared at.
Li Ling said calmly, "There should be another baby inside you, right?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the words on the three dolls in turn: "Physical strength, intelligence, imagination..."
Li Ling looked at the little child: "Let me think about it. The original games, such as the Daruma doll, the giant cat, the caged bird, and the black bear's lie, seem to have been included in these three points. So the following games are completely meaningless."
Since it's meaningless, why continue?
Upon hearing Li Ling's words, everyone was stunned and began to discuss among themselves.
"So I guess you must still be hiding one last doll that we don't know about," Li Ling said in a deep voice.
"Let me think... physical strength, intelligence, imagination... besides these, is there perhaps a little bit of luck missing?"
"Huh!?" Not only the little doll, but the other two dolls exclaimed in unison, "You...you actually guessed even the last doll!?"
He then sighed softly, "Compared to others, it seems you are more qualified to be the Son of God."
"The son of God?" Li Ling chuckled. "I'm sorry, I'm not the son of God."
After saying that, Li Ling clenched his fists and slammed them down heavily.
The two largest dolls shattered instantly: "I am the Godslayer!"
"You, you, you..." The smallest doll twitched its legs in terror.
But it was too late. Li Ling delivered a powerful whip kick, shattering the smallest doll to pieces, and even cracking open the last doll inside it.
"There really is one last doll!"
When everyone saw the last, menacing doll with the word 'luck' written on it, they all gasped in shock.
Fortunately, Li Ling kicked the doll and broke it; otherwise, it's hard to imagine what would have happened next.
"Teacher!" The girls, who had survived the ordeal, rushed over excitedly, surrounded Li Ling, and showered her with kisses.
If there hadn't been many boys present, they would have practically offered themselves to each other on the spot.
But not long after the girls started kissing, golden light appeared on the ground.
The next moment, everyone found themselves on top of a giant cube.
Faced with the sudden change in scenery, everyone felt uneasy. The girls grabbed Li Ling's clothes and hid beside him, as if this could bring them a great sense of security.
"Don't be afraid." Li Ling looked around and said, "Congratulations everyone, you've all made it out alive."
"Really?" Everyone was overjoyed, and then ran towards the edge of the cube. Sure enough, they saw the familiar scenery: "This is Tokyo! We're back!"
Surviving the ordeal brought everyone to a frenzy of cheers and celebrations. The girls who had been hiding behind Li Ling hugged each other and shed tears of joy.
Looking at Akimoto Ichika, who was also crying tears of joy in the crowd, Li Ling heard the system's message that the mission was completed.
But Li Ling did not relax; he turned his gaze in one direction.
Suddenly, a person appeared in this direction—an incredibly disheveled middle-aged scavenger.
Are you the 'god' behind the scenes?
Although he had absorbed a lot of 'upgrade' energy along the way, he felt immense pressure when facing this scavenger.
I can't see through it, I can't see through it at all.
He seemed like any other down-on-his-luck scavenger, nothing out of the ordinary.
But he happened to appear here, though his eyes looked somewhat listless.
Gradually, those eyes regained their sparkle, but the gaze was somewhat unpleasant, as if someone standing high in the clouds was looking down at ants on the ground.
“You broke the rules,” the scavenger said calmly.
Li Ling remained silent, observing the changing environment.
This is a space devoid of everything, surrounded only by endless white, so vast it's maddening.
The students were all gone, leaving only him and the scavenger.
Is this the power of 'God'?
Li Ling was filled with vigilance, but her expression remained calm: "Then I don't know what you plan to do."
The scavenger looked at him, his eyes shifting slightly: "Don't you want to explain yourself?"
"I think the one who should explain to me the most is you," Li Ling said calmly.
"If you are truly a god of this world, why do you slaughter innocent people? Do you know how many lives your actions have caused?"
The scavenger said calmly, "Humans are ungrateful and have disrupted the food chain balance that has existed for millions of years. God has a duty to maintain the stability of the world, so some humans who should not exist should be eliminated."
"..." Li Ling asked, "Is it like the legendary flood that destroyed the world, or Noah's Ark?"
"That's not a legend, it's a fact."
The scavenger said calmly, "Whenever the balance of the world is broken, God will descend upon the world and restore balance."
"I see." Li Ling said calmly, "I have no interest in your plan, I just want to survive."
