The room surrounded by white is adorned with various experiments.

A man in a white coat paces anxiously in the office when, at that moment, another assistant-like woman with blue hair and a beautiful figure enters.

"Professor! The improvements on Noah's Ark are complete. In just 16 days, we can set sail!" the woman softly announces as she flips open the notebook in her hand.

"The quality testing for the other four arks is still pending, but they are expected to be ready for operation by tomorrow."

"Good, very good!"

The man, known as the professor, ecstatically embraces the assistant and gives her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work."

Clang!

The woman’s previous calm and composed demeanor vanishes in an instant as she transforms into a heroine and gives him a playful knock on the head, slightly annoyed.

"Do you even remember that I'm the mother of your child? You leave your son behind and are all set to run away?"

"Oh, my dear wife, please don't be angry! Ouch, that hurts!"

The professor playfully removes the woman's hand from his ear and flashes her a big smile.

"Don't worry, our son will not only be safe but will also become the most beautiful melody in the world! Now, it's time to board the ship. Remember, the operation of these ships depends on us."

With a snap of his fingers, a massive warship slowly rises from the underground chamber.

It bears the mark of Elena; this is the largest of the three fortress warships – Noah!

...

I have seen what humanity is, it is the concept that carries the primal form of life.

They do not impose their own beliefs on others, even if they are surrounded by countless vibrant flowers and lush vegetation, as long as desire exists in the world, and humanity continues to dominate and disrupt this law...

Not knowing what fear is, abandoned by the government, slowly being consumed by losing all faith.

"Even sometimes praying to the gods, blessing..."

Hah, I almost forgot... in this world, one must never pray to the gods!

"Yes, I have staked my life on it, absolutely... I will not let anyone bear the malice and pain this world brings!"

I gradually lower my head.

"Sorry for my outburst earlier."

Maybe it's because I occasionally have someone to rely on? Occasionally having a friend makes the burden a bit lighter, right?

"I envy those who have many friends; they must be very happy!"

I steadfastly stick to this conclusion because, since childhood, there has always been only my mother and me in my world, but everything was reduced to ashes in a devastating fire.

On that day, I discovered a shocking reality...

A man emerged from the flames, that man turned out to be – my father?!

"Why... dad?"

"..."

"Weren't we supposed to protect each other together?"

"..."

"Answer me!"

"...Juxi, you will understand."

I couldn't believe it; the monster before me was actually my biological father!

He was the source of all disasters, his insane personality was akin to the terrifying Lucifer in the depths of despair, his demeanor seemed as if he wanted to devour everything in sight.

I can't remember the specific details from that time, my recovery ability is not enough to break all the seals.

Lowering my head to look at the faint crack on my hand, I knew that my remaining time might be limited.

"In this very limited time, what can I do for myself?"

"Haha, I can't just keep getting stuck killing monsters that were impossible to kill from the beginning, right?"

Yuanhui jokingly lit a cigarette, then said as if blowing clouds and mist.

"If there's any trouble, don't tell me. I'm already annoyed enough now, but of course, if you have any new ideas, I'm all ears."

Although Yuanhui pretended to be eager to listen, was he actually very distressed?

"Don't lie to me, is smoking really that enjoyable?"

"Well, you never know, nicotine can actually help relax human nerves that are tense!"

"Forget it, I don't rely on those things..."

Snap!

What did Yuanhui just do?

At that moment when his hand rose and fell, a deep red mark was left on my face, a bloodstain also trickled down from the corner of my mouth.

"Are you awake?"

"What do you mean?"

I still hadn't figured out why he hit me for a long time, even though the listless feeling had completely disappeared, but why?

"Listen carefully, if you yourself are lost, then who else can have hope to survive?"

"I..."

"Why can everyone entrust everything to you? Do you think the badge on your body is not complete? It's because you are hope itself!"

Hope itself, me?

In that instant, I suddenly understood.

Yes, I only saw the blood-red death badge in my hand, but I never paid attention to the fact that I myself was the long-lost - Life Badge!

"Have you found it?"

Edward, who had been silent for months, finally began to talk to the person he often interacted with again.

"It's not time yet, his whole body is filled with the aura of death, it's not time yet."

"Uh, the Ark Project is about to start, if this continues, I'm afraid..."

"No!" Shinichi immediately interrupted him.

He extended his right hand and emitted a crimson and black alternating light that enveloped the entire room, and a boy of medium build appeared from the previously empty wall, right in front of Shinichi, with a lifeless expression even in his eyes.

"Good boy, have you gained any new information?"

Under Shinichi's gaze, the boy slowly walked to the center of the room and opened his mouth slowly.

"No, many of them escaped. I was ambushed on the way by the Angels and Clerics, Koisnov escaped."

The boy lowered his head in shame, as if this matter had a lot to do with him.

Just because Shinichi's command was - leave no survivors!

"This is bad, dealing with the Clerics is one thing, but how should we handle the Angels?"

"Don't worry, listen to me..."

"Don't worry... How can I not worry? If those old guys come after us, even you will be in trouble, won't you?"

When they mentioned this, they couldn't help but worry, especially Edward, who was the most restless of the group.

"Xingu, that guy is an old war god, he once delivered a fatal blow to the Fourth Generation Divine Lord," someone said.

"Haha, come on, are you talking about that God of Thunder guy?"

Xingu suddenly burst into laughter without reason.

"That kid can't even be considered half a Divine Lord. He just thinks he can control everything because he is slightly stronger than ordinary gods, but the result..."

"..."

"He didn't even manage to master the most basic control, let alone harnessing the power of the badge!"

As Xingu said, the Fourth Generation Divine Lord could barely handle the power of the Emerald Heart. At least in Satan's generation, he could still unleash half of its power. After that, no one in the divine realm ever mentioned the Emerald Heart again.

...

This generation's Divine Lord is the God of Thunder who controls lightning, but he cannot dominate and awaken the badge.

"Yes, I have permanently sealed it. After all, that's our father. Indeed..."

Yuanhui suddenly felt deeply emotional.

"After so long, still unable to surpass our father. Whether it's the divine realm or the demon world, everyone has their eyes on our father."

"Yes, the Giant God founded a world of light, he was the first messenger advocating love and peace in the world, never favoring any side. What a pity!"

"There is no pity. After our father's death, I sealed the badge in a demon-made magic box and scattered it into the human world, hoping to conceal its whereabouts and prevent it from falling into the hands of dark beings or monsters."

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed...

"In the end, even I couldn't escape from the darkness and led the gods to destruction."

I understand the pain in his heart. Although the gods still exist, faith in the temple has long been nonexistent!

The original him died a long time ago, and now after countless cycles, he has regained control of time and established a new order.

"But the elder angels seem to not approve of my methods, they do not recognize the world I have rebuilt, and do not allow the Hall of Heroes to have any connection with me."

With a resentful look in his eyes, he confided in me, also showing a touch of disdain.

"I don't care about that place where the gods have passed on, Valhalla symbolizes the end of all things, the destination that all gods long for."

Yuanhui slowly climbed up from the roof, standing tall in the pouring rain.

"Unlike humans, there is no concept of lifespan in the world of gods, which is why gods are not allowed to unite with humans... They are afraid they cannot bear the emotional factors."

He did not deny it but was completely certain of this fact. Due to strict control in the divine realm and only one instance of such a thing happening during the era of the Seven Kings, it could still be disregarded.

But the demon world is different, they no longer obey the commands of the divine realm since Yuanhui took office.

In any case, the gods in the temple are unlikely to appear again, even if they were to go to the Hall of Heroes, it would be in vain.

"All of this was told to me by the Giant God. He entrusted his competence to me, but a different power flows within me."

Seeing my discontent expression, Yuanhui could only smile wryly.

"Hehe, have you already noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

"Your very existence is a dreadful thing, the only one who can contend against the Black Dragon Emperor of the same period!"
