Chapter 59: I am the Director

At this moment, Li Ge's question marks had filled the entire Pacific Ocean.

What does it mean that our enemy is fate?

Is it the kind of destiny I believe in?

Seeing Li Ge's puzzled expression, her aunt continued slowly.

"More than ten years ago, we discovered this secret. It was... God? Or rather, the Way of Heaven? The Will of Heaven? Something like that. And then we tried to attack the God..." Aunt slowly began, recounting the story in the most concise way.

However, she almost choked up and couldn't speak.

But Li Ge already knows, God...?

In the end, the parents died, the aunt went into hiding, Mayor Ronan became despondent, Albion went mad, and the once-heroic team fell apart, even turning into enemies who hated each other...

Li Ge didn't know who the god her aunt was talking about was, how strong he was, or what level he would be in the academy.

Is he as good as the vice principal?

Li Ge didn't know, but he seemed to understand something.

God?

I'm still a God-King! Although the God-King I became before was a bit... well, it's not a big deal. As long as I'm still in this world, a sufficiently powerful God-King will always randomly appear... right?

Li Ge slowly reached out and gently patted her aunt's back.

"Don't worry, Aunt, wait for me, wait for me for a maximum of four years..." Li Ge said, no longer intending to hide it.

He talked about his school, his life there, the friends he made, and how he had seen dragons and elves, as well as the all-powerful vice principal.

"Our vice principal is a show-off old man, but he looks incredibly cool when he tears open spatial rifts. Our director is a seriously injured veteran... My roommate is a branch of a water elemental spirit, and he's probably sunbathing on the balcony right now... We just killed an emperor in our monthly exam..."

Li Ge talked a lot, recounting every little detail of her experiences at school.

Aunt listened attentively until Li Ge finished speaking.

"Aunt, let's leave..." Li Ge said, looking around at the world. Outside, there were only people with blood thirst and madmen, and a group of nightmare-like evil spirits wandering outside the town.

So he wanted to take his aunt and Lola with him.

Although the campus of the magic high school is only the size of a few cities, the entire world belongs to the school.

Outside the campus, there are still local residents and many ordinary people who live in this world.

The magic high school doesn't object to students moving directly to that world, since that world is actually quite empty. Li Ge knows that many senior students like to go on adventures in deserted areas after their holidays.

"You take Ronan's daughter and leave. I won't go with you, Auntie." Auntie smiled, released Li Ge, and tossed her silver hair, looking like a dashing female knight-errant.

"Why?" Li Ge asked in return.

"Someone has to stay here." Auntie laughed, giving Li Ge's head a good rub, making his hair look like a bird's nest.

"If I run away, then this world is truly doomed." She laughed, rubbing Li Ge's cheeks like a child.

He looked at his aunt, but in the end, he didn't try to persuade her any further.

Perhaps once upon a time, Auntie was also a dashing little witch. When Mayor Ronan talked about Auntie in the Hero Squad, he would also look embarrassed.

However, I wonder if my aunt has gotten over that past trauma and raised me to adulthood, acting as both father and mother to me.

Perhaps when she sees herself grow up to the point where she can live independently, that's when she truly wants to fulfill her dreams.

Similarly, Li Ge seemed to gradually gain more motivation.

Meme contamination, blood thirst, and a cursed god and divine will...

What kind of crap is this...?

Li Ge thought, why not transform himself into Jehovah and purify the entire world in one fell swoop?

But considering that last time it was the Sea God King, who knows what kind of power the God King might have next time, like "Si Dong Fist, Nian Dong Sword, Hao Dong Palm" or something similar to Tang Wan's abilities.

Li Ge immediately lost hope in this God King's power, treating it as a one-time use ability that could only be used in absolute crisis.

He needs to continue his studies and become even stronger.

It wasn't just his own strength that made him want to appeal to the vice principal. He had previously refused the vice principal's offer to be a corpse collector, but now he might really want to go back to school and be a corpse collector for the interrogation department.

He wanted to understand the potion that seemed to be of the same nature, the potion that could twist Senior Longbow into a meme monster, which seemed to be very similar to the "curse of God" that his aunt had mentioned.

He wants to know more, to learn more.

In an instant, Li Ge understood his goal and future. He might not even need to grow on his own; he just needed to tell the vice principal this news, and that showy old man would definitely send someone over.

My great magic academy is full of talented people; who knows, we might just sweep aside that so-called god.

Li Ge forced himself to sit up. Although he was in a lot of pain due to the side effects, he could still hold on.

Lola, the little girl, seemed to be a bit drowsy. When she saw Li Ge trying to get up, she ran over and helped him up.

Li Ge did not hesitate. He looked out the window at the town, a town filled with evil spirits and nightmares.

But besides the evil spirits and nightmares, Li Ge also saw many houses with lights still on, vegetable gardens, wells and streams outside the houses, and everywhere was filled with the atmosphere of life.

He did a rough calculation and concluded that there were still many people living in this ghost town—hundreds? Thousands?

Were they here to escape the thirst for blood? Or did they truly inherit the legacy of the Hero Squad and silently accumulate strength?

Li Ge didn't know, but she probably understood why her aunt didn't want to leave.

If she also escapes, then perhaps there really will be no one in the world who can fight against the blood thirst disease.

So she had to stay, but Li Ge and the others could escape and leave.

Life here must be very stressful, but perhaps it is this stress that has made them the only two people besides Lola who have not yet been infected with the blood disease that Li Ge has seen.

"Auntie, I'm going back to school now. I'll probably be back with reinforcements soon," Li Ge said with a smile, holding Lola's hand.

"Well, pick up a few girls at school and bring them back, so we can have more descendants," Auntie said with a smile, uttering such lewd words.

Li Ge's expression instantly faltered, and without hesitation, he activated the one-time teleportation card.

……

Meanwhile, Albion, who had just been punished by the Empire's high command, saw Ronan, who had now become the director.

His face was a fascinating sight. Ronan was someone he had just recruited, but after he was removed from his position as director, Ronan became the director himself.

At this moment, only he himself knows what he feels.

Albion had a sour look on his face and wanted to leave immediately.

"Albion, you shouldn't have done this, even for the future of the Empire," Ronan suddenly called out to him.

"The future of the empire?" Albion seemed to laugh. "The entire empire's two regions and thirteen nobles are all on my shoulders. You are not qualified to talk to me about the empire's future!"

"But this is the future you're carrying. Look at Viona now, look what she's become!" Mayor Ronan said bluntly, showing no mercy to his old friend.

"You..." Albion's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he gasped for breath. After a long struggle, he finally managed to utter, "Ronan, you're too naive. You'll regret this!"

"I am the chief!" Ronan immediately roared.

"Bang!" Albion slammed the door shut and stormed out.
