"This is..."

"Nanometal?!"

Yun You gazed silently at the pristine silver metallic fragment in her hand.

The fragment was very small and extremely sharp at the edges, which was why it could easily pierce Yang Lie's body.

Yet, they seemed to have a consciousness of their own, tightly wrapping together without any intention of harming the young girl.

Yun You knew this was Jack's final handiwork.

The last command Jack issued to the nanometer Vajra Bone before leaving was to infiltrate Yang Lie's body, enter his bloodstream and joints, and when Yun You acted, they would emerge in coordination, catching Yang Lie off guard.

That's why Jack left a last message, telling Yun You to pay special attention and attack Yang Lie's joints.

"Even in the end, you're still helping me."

Yun You gently held the nanometal ball, closed her eyes, and a touching smile curved at the corner of her lips.

"Thank you."

"Hermano (Brother)..."

The girl pulled the blade out of Yang Lie's chest and solemnly accepted the metallic ball.

Then, she lowered her head, staring down at the red-haired Death God below her, who had completely lost the ability to resist... reduced to a human stick.

"You're the first."

"I won't spare any of those beasts who committed unforgivable crimes."

Yun You transformed Red Scale again, changing it from a blade to a claw and grabbed Yang Lie's head.

"After you go to Heaven, remember to apologize to each of the victims."

"Oh... no, someone like you is not qualified for Heaven, you'll have to burn in Hell as firewood instead."

With that, the girl's grip tightened, and the five claws embedded directly into Yang Lie's head, squeezing the beautiful head into a distorted shape.

But just as the red-haired Death God was about to be crushed to pieces, footsteps suddenly appeared outside the conference hall.

Soon after, the door was gently pushed open.

"Isn't this enough, benefactor?"

"Please calm down a bit and stop committing more killings."

The light voice drifted into Yun You's ears.

She slightly frowned, simultaneously increasing the pressure of her hand, and looked up toward the source of the voice.

She saw a tall bald man with a robust physique walk in with a smile.

This guy was even more robust than Jack, standing two meters tall, with a gray tattered robe draped over one shoulder, and a string of peculiar wooden beads around his neck, looking quite fierce.

However, his face always wore a smile, benevolent and kind, not showing any hostility towards Yun You.

Yun You felt like she had seen such an image somewhere before.

Thinking carefully, it should be like the "monk" in those old movies.

"Benefactor."

The Great Monk held one hand upright in front of his chest, appearing quite polite.

"You've achieved your goal, haven't you?"

"Master Yang has already lost his limbs, his brain and heart are destroyed, even if he gets treatment later, he'll likely just be a cripple."

"You've vented your anger, so why not let this grudge come to an end?"

"As the Enlightened One says, lay down arms, and you can immediately become a Buddha."

"If you could spare Master Yang, that would be a merit without..."

Crunch!

Before the Great Monk could finish his words, Yun You pressed down her hand.

Yang Lie's already battered head was crushed directly under the Red Scale Giant Claw, turning into a white lump.

He twitched a few times, then stopped moving, looking like there's no saving him...

The Apprentice Death God's life force is strong, but once the brain is crushed, even if he had nine lives, he couldn't survive.

Yun You slowly stood up, under the Great Monk's stunned gaze, flicking the paste off her claws with disdain.

She had no intention of listening to the Great Monk's nonsense, nor did she give him any chance to rescue Yang Lie, directly killing the topic with action.

"Who are you? Coming here to spout nonsense? What's your business with me?"

Yun You looked the monk up and down impatiently, "Why do you keep telling me to lay down my arms, where were you when Yang Lie and his kind were running rampant? Why didn't you plead for the victims?"

"Merit? What kind of crap is that, I don't need it, I know I can't get into Heaven, and I've already prepared to go to Hell. But before going down, I'll kill every last despicable scum, leaving none alive."

"..."

Listening to the girl's straightforward response, the Great Monk's mouth twitched, somewhat speechless.

After a while, he slowly spoke, but the previous composure and amiability were mostly gone, leaving only helplessness.

"Benefactor, killing outside the Death Domain, and especially killing so many high-ranking dignitaries at once is not a rational choice."

"If you had only killed ordinary people, then I believe that as long as you seek help from the Apprentice Death God Organization, all factions might not bother you... even if punished, it would merely be a symbolic fine."

"But killing an Apprentice Death God changes the nature of this, and even the organization won't actively protect you."

"Moreover, if I am correct, people like Master Yang generally have life alert devices on them."

"You might have hackers intercept the signals, but you can't block them forever, eventually the outside world will know what happened here... and surely trace it back to you."

"Perhaps you have your reasons and enough backing from your teacher to smooth over the trouble, preventing a death sentence... perhaps you are likely to run away, using various means to clear the suspicion. But the problem is, if you leave, all the citizens here and your companions will be implicated."

"Are you willing to watch them all die because of you? You should be well aware of the methods giant corporations and the Death God Organization employ, right?"

The Great Monk's words made some sense, but Yun You showed no sign of regret.

"I understand everything you're saying, and I've considered them all, so there's no need for you to lecture me."

The girl put away Red Scale Giant Claw, gazing calmly at the Death God's corpse underfoot, "I have prepared myself fully before taking action."

"I won't let anyone else bear this responsibility, I will endure all of the... so-called 'sins'."

"I thought about possibly going to prison, or facing revenge and sentencing, but I never regretted taking action, I'm responsible for my choices to the end."

It's true.

The girl never thought of escaping, nor would she push the responsibility onto innocents.

The aspirant to be "King" loves to act freely, but not harming and not implicating innocents is also Yun You's nature.

On the contrary, acting recklessly, relying on power to abuse others is not something she likes to do.

When she says she will take responsibility, she means it.

Moreover... she's not without any background... she has a prestigious teacher.

"..."

The Great Monk was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed, clapping his hands.

"As expected of the warrior my lord favors, truly not disappointing."

"Let me formally introduce myself."

"Amitabha..."

He paused slightly, then solemnly declared his name.

"I am the attendant of the Tower's Lord—'Smiling Awakened One·Nan Jia', [Miao Jue]."

"By the order of the Enlightened One, I come to implement the [Purification] decree on you."
