Chapter 54: The Demon God's Contract, a Deal with Himeya Jun

This is also one of Goroki's plans.

All he did was to make Nexus's body more powerful and then devour it.

In this way, one can gain more powerful strength in a very short time.

However, even with a large number of vines entangled, Nexus' vital signs had not completely disappeared.

At least there is still a little bit of light power in his body.

Just as Ji Yajun's thoughts were immersed in endless darkness, his consciousness seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, crossing the barriers of time and space, and finally landed in an unprecedented special space.

Here, Himeya Jun felt an inexplicable tranquility, as if all worldly troubles were isolated from him.

Long-lost memories came flooding in like a tide, drowning him in an instant.

The scene in my memory is a land devastated by war, with flying dust and continuous artillery fire.

At that time, Himeya Jun was just a war correspondent shuttling between gunfire and hail of bullets, using his camera to record every bit of the glory and darkness of human nature.

It was in such a desolate place that he met Sera, the little girl whose smile was brighter than the sun.

Whenever Himeya Jun finished a day of interviews and was exhausted both physically and mentally, she would quietly come to him with flowers or little treasures picked up from the ruins, and tell him about her "great adventure" in her childish voice.

At that moment, the war seemed to have moved away from them, leaving only the pure communication between the two worlds.

As Ji Yajun looked at Sera's carefree smile, a soft spot in his heart was quietly touched. He vowed to protect this rare happiness, just like protecting his long-lost sister.

However, the good times did not last long, as the cruelty of war spared no one on this land.

On a seemingly ordinary evening, a sudden artillery shell ruthlessly destroyed everything.

Ji Yajun witnessed with his own eyes the flower of life that had not yet fully blossomed suddenly withered, and Sera's smile was forever frozen in that moment. At that moment, his world seemed to collapse in a corner, and the heart-wrenching despair spread wildly in his heart like weeds.

For Jun Himeya, Sera's death is not just the passing of a life, but also the end of a beautiful time, and it is the pain of the softest part of his heart being torn apart.

As a war correspondent who had witnessed countless separations of life and death, this was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to his soul, making this anti-smuggling officer, who was accustomed to facing life and death, feel unprecedented pain and powerlessness.

At this time, Ji Yajun slowly opened his eyes and crawled up from the ground.

He saw a little girl standing in front of him.

The little girl was Sierra.

"Yes, did you take any satisfactory photos?"

In response to Sera's question, Himeya Jun shook his head regretfully.

"No, I originally wanted to record people's attitudes towards life and find the meaning of life."

“But I documented the moment people died.”

“I’m really terrible.”

Seeing Himeya Jun looking dejected, Sera smiled sweetly.

"Then can I accompany you to take those meaningful photos?"

Hearing what Sera said, Ji Yajun was stunned.

"But you already..." Just as Ji Yajun was immersed in endless sadness and self-blame, a mysterious purple light quietly spread, as if tearing the cracks in reality, gradually condensing into an elegant and deep purple figure, quietly floating in front of him.

The purple color contained unknown power and secrets, making the air around it seem heavy and tense.

Looking at this sudden purple existence, thousands of thoughts flashed through Ji Yajun's eyes in an instant, and the look of vigilance quickly occupied his heart like a wildfire.

His tense body revealed his fighting spirit and vigilance, and his voice was low and firm: "Who are you, and how can you appear here without making any noise?"

The purple figure did not show any displeasure at all due to Ji Yajun's questioning. Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His voice was distant and deep, as if it had traveled through time and space: "It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to understand that I can give you everything you desire. For example, let the little girl who left an indelible mark in your heart be revitalized."

After saying this, the purple figure glanced sideways, his gaze penetrating the void, as if he could see directly into the softest part of Ji Yajun's heart.

There was a hint of detachment and indifference in Lin Chen's smile.

To him, the cycle of life and death is just a game in the palm of his hand. With just a thought, he can rewrite life and death.

Even just a hint of his clone's power is enough to bring the dead back to life and astonish the living.

However, behind those deep purple eyes, there is a hidden calculation.

Although Lin Chen possesses the power to control destiny, due to his own purposes, he should keep a distance from the messenger of light, the Ultra Warrior, or even be in opposition to him.

After all, despair and negative emotions are the source of energy he is constantly pursuing.

However, Himeya Jun's indomitable soul and his charisma that shone even in despair made him rarely waver.

"Of course, no one wants to lose the one they love. It's just that..."

Ji Yajun's frank words revealed a complex emotion, with an urgent desire, but also caution and hesitation, "What is the price? I know very well that there is no free lunch in the world. I'm afraid your conditions will not be simple."

Himeya Jun's words revealed both a desire for a miracle and a wariness about the upcoming transaction.

He knew very well that Sera's rebirth would not be easy, and negotiating with this mysterious purple shadow would undoubtedly be an unknown and dangerous game.

And on the scales of this deal, he will have to weigh everything, and may even pay an unpredictable price.

"The price is simple. You just need to accept a little bit of my power."

"Even if you leave here, you still have to fight that guy Goroki."

"With the blessing of my power, you can become even stronger, and you can also easily destroy Goroki."

If Ji Yajun accepted Lin Chen's power, he would have made a contract with Lin Chen.

It is equivalent to being a puppet of the devil, but it is a conscious puppet.

What would Noah think if he knew that one of his clones was controlled by Lin Chen?

I guess the other person’s inner thoughts must be very interesting.

What's more, if Dark Zagi wants to gather strength to resurrect, he has to rely on Nexus.

Nexus must gain even more powerful strength.

Only then can it return to its original state.

When he absorbed the power of Nexus, he found that the power in his body was not pure light power. He must have been quite devastated.
