Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 59 Little Flame, Find Me

"Don't move. Keeping you here was the right decision. You're so warm."

This sentence made Li Wei's hair stand on end. What's wrong with him? Does he think he's a hand warmer?

But considering that this thing might be a black mother, I really am just a hand warmer in front of her.

He was held tightly in his arms, and Li Wei forced a smile and asked a question.

"Who are you? And where is Goto?"

"Didn't you already know that?"

Goto suddenly raised his head, chuckled, and looked into Li Wei's eyes as he asked a question.

"When a dream is realistic enough, the boundary between dreams and reality becomes blurred. Would you abandon the harsh reality and embrace the infinite possibilities in your dreams?"

She's very happy now, surrounded by family, and everything is normal. It's just that in her eyes, you, her PE teacher, are like a block of wood. She has to get you drunk and force herself on you to get what she wants.

Then you'll have two children, and live a normal, ordinary life, without the end of the world or any strange people.

After listening, Li Wei remained silent for a while before speaking.

"I won't. Dreams are just dreams; they're just an escape."

And wasn't this done by you?

The smile on Goto's face widened, making Li Wei feel uneasy.

"She's not as strong as you, and weren't you also tempered by death? Why do you think a little girl could have such a strong heart? And how do you know this isn't a dream?"

After saying that, before Li Wei could reply, it vanished like a bubble, and the world suddenly shifted like a slice of film.

Looking at his raised hand, ready to knock on the door, Li Wei paused for a moment, glanced around, and saw that there were murderers wandering around everywhere, or hawking and buying.

He muttered to himself, "Clark's hallucination? Dude, I'm not Clark, the universe's strongest engineer, don't mess with me."

So he continued knocking.

A male voice rang out.

"They're here."

After opening the door, Li Wei looked at the guy in front of him who was dressed exactly like him. He then turned his head and looked back. The street behind him had become a deserted street with people occasionally riding bicycles by.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your grandpa."

Li Wei drew his sword and slashed his own neck, choosing death as a sign of respect.

Then the scene shifted again, and Li Wei silently looked at the thing holding him.

I didn't expect this thing to start complaining.

"You're so boring."

This abnormal ability made it impossible for Li Wei to distinguish between reality and illusion, so Li Wei gave up struggling and simply asked.

"Are you sure you're Shub, and not that Nyarlathotep, that rascal?"

Goto shook his head.

"I wasn't kidding you. I was just responding to her 'love,' and it was the same with everyone else."

Although Li Wei really wanted to complain that this "love" was really heavy, even to the point of the end of the world, he could only sigh.

"What do you want from me?"

Seeing Levi's helpless expression, Shub seemed quite pleased and asked with a smile.

"I didn't do this. I know humans are fragile, but do you want to go back?"

Li Wei thought to himself, "Don't even mention being targeted by you, even if the First Fire Essence were alone on my body, would I dare to go back?"

"No, why go back? Why give up a perfectly good boss job to continue being an employee?"

"But it seems like that's not what you really think."

Li Wei continued to stubbornly deny it.

"Have you thoroughly studied human nature? You should know that what you say and what you think are two different things, and what you do and what you decide are two different things."

Shub didn't want to argue with Levi on this point, lest she be dragged into the same line of thinking by Levi and then refute him.

Shub covered Levi's eyes with her hands.

"Then I will grant you the power to see the truth clearly, and the price is that you must be held by me every time you come back, in your true form."

But you're too weak now, little flame. Find me.

It's in the Goat Forest where the guardians of the Moon Mirror reside.

It dissipated like mist, and the surroundings returned to "normal".

Li Wei grinned as he looked at the drastically changed world before him.

The world was bathed in red light, and sparse veins covered the ground and walls. A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the stench of corn leaves that had been dried and rotten for a long time in a cold barn.

Looking up, the so-called sun was actually a crescent-shaped blood moon, with several long tentacles waving around the crescent. Even without estimating its size, it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Looking down at himself, he saw rings of fire patterns surging around his body, with even sparks scattered around, indicating he was in an ember state.

Looking back at the murderers, they were in a much worse state than he was, with only a wisp of flame flickering around their bodies.

Is this why it wasn't contaminated? Was it protected by the Primordial Flame Essence?

I rubbed my eyes and switched back to normal. The warm sunlight shone on me, as if everything that had just happened was gone, just an illusion.

I rubbed my eyes again and switched to 'Reality'.

Well, does this mean I've been given a Kremlin-style version of the eagle eye?

Li Wei stared at the blood moon in the sky and stroked his chin. Wasn't it said that SAN would drop sharply when one suffered a mental blow or saw a bizarre scene?

But Li Wei didn't feel any chills. Otherwise, he would have gone crazy long ago. He was just pretending to be normal. But Li Wei didn't feel that anything was wrong. Maybe he needed to see a psychologist.

"Ash, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Ego's voice brought Levi back to reality, and Ego followed Levi's gaze to the sky.

"Is something wrong? You don't look too good."

"No, it's nothing. Where's Goto?"

Ego answered somewhat awkwardly.

"Come with me."

As Igo walked inside and entered the room, Goto lay quietly on the bed, like a sleeping beauty.

But in Li Wei's eyes, she was a fragmented beauty, her body covered by blood vessels that had spread across the ground, some of which had even merged into her body.

Before Li Wei could finish reading, he heard Ego explain.

"After I came back, she still couldn't learn any miracles. I gave her a couple of words of advice, and then she fell asleep and that's how she ended up like this."

She wouldn't wake up, so we could only feed her liquids. If we forcibly lifted her off the bed, her breathing would become weak.

I also consulted a Taoist priest. His will is very active, and his soul is intact, but he just can't wake up.

Li Wei rubbed his forehead; this pet really knew how to get himself into trouble.

"It's alright, this has nothing to do with you. I know what's going on and I'll figure something out. Let's leave it at that for now and see how things go from here on out."

Even so, in Li Wei's mind, Goto was already sentenced to death.

In the world of Kremlin, mortals have no chance to play, unless they become inhuman.

But with Goto in this state, how could he possibly turn things around?

Levi either has to beg Shub to be this god's weapon and hand warmer, or he can go to other Krul worlds to get something and see if he can get some "artifacts" to awaken him.

But given Black Mom's position, she can only get along with her "husband" or a fun person like Yellow Hastur, but none of these are easy to get along with.

Speaking of Bubble, I think of the unity of all things. I wonder why the outside world is becoming more and more like the strongest engineer taking down a bunch of things. Is it because of Bubble and Black Mom's two offspring, Nag and Yeb, that they're causing trouble?

Li Wei cursed inwardly, "The world of the Kremlin is such a hassle, with all sorts of messy things."
