CHAPTER 138 - WHITE BLOOD CELL AND PLATELET [BONUS CHAPTER 3/5]

Nothing happened that day. Ren, having nothing to do, conducted some experiments.

For example, he tried to kill the phenomenon of malevolent spirits and yokai.

However, he found that the death lines of malevolent spirits and yokai were not simply attached to the Earth. They seemed to be simultaneously tied to a deeper death line.

That was not the death line belonging to Earth; it felt very likely related to a new Doomsday factor.

"Malevolent spirits and yokai actually have superiors?" This surprised him a little.

Therefore, he temporarily had no way to fundamentally solve the phenomenon of the birth of malevolent spirits and yokai.

He could only give up on the goal of solving it all at once and chose to take some time to clear out a few areas.

He easily harvested 270,000 doomsday points. Looking at it this way, yokai and malevolent spirits were quite lucrative.

Like an ATM that constantly appeared, he could harvest a wave of resources every so often.

Moreover, these two types of beings had extremely low impact on humans.

Tonight, he didn't concern himself with malevolent spirits. Because recently, he had been accompanying Yukino and the others.

It had been a long time since he had spent time with Sayuri. At Sayuri's age, if too much time passed, she tended to become overzealous.

At the dinner table, Sayuri's small feet under the table were restlessly teasing him, even daring to give him a foot massage.

During this, the keen Yukino discovered it.

She didn't expose them, only feeling speechless at their behavior. Just eat properly while eating!

Look at Chinu!

A top-tier glutton. Eating without any distractions.

Abe no Seimei, as a soul body, could only stare enviously. Yukino grumbled inwardly.

But having seen much of the world, she merely had slightly reddened earlobes and continued to eat calmly.

Sayuri was so bold because she was indeed overzealous. Especially in front of Chinu and Yuuri.

It was clear she had truly endured a lot. Ren had to satisfy her properly.

He specifically sent Eriri home. After all, for so long, he hadn't exclusively doted on Sayuri, so he made up for it a little.

However, Sayuri was truly amazing. She could easily understand what Ren needed.

Half a day.

"Kiss..."

"Ren, no... are you done?"

Sayuri's face was covered in sweat, and she was very tired, but she was still thinking of Ren.

"Rest." When playing games, he didn't necessarily have to empty the magazine.

"Mhm." Filled with love, Sayuri consciously began to clean him up.

Feeling the warmth, Ren subtly straightened up. At the same time, he also opened the Chat Group.

*****

Ren: "Seitenshi, how are things on your side?"

He mainly asked about the re-establishment of the new era's order.

Seitenshi: "Mhm, with Tendo Kikunojo's help, everything is progressing smoothly."

Seitenshi: "Humans who have undergone Ren's judgment are named New Humans. A new order and a new system have been established, and a new era is moving forward."

Tendo Kisara: "Tsk, although I really don't want to admit it, Tendo Kikunojo's political methods are indeed extraordinary."

Tendo Kisara: "He also got Seitenshi the support of Shiba Miori, the heiress of Shiba Heavy Industries, and the support of Muroto Sumire, one of the Four Sages."

Shiba Miori... Muroto Sumire... Ren knew these two people.

One from a weapons company, one a scientist. They were indeed what the development of the new era needed.

Seitenshi: "Mhm, with their support, everything became much easier."

Seitenshi: "Oh, by the way, Ren, the people of the new era seem to have founded a new religion out of admiration for you. I don't know if I should stop it."

Ren: "Do as you please. I don't care about religious beliefs."

His power didn't come from religious beliefs, so proselytizing had no meaning to him.

Saeko Busujima: "Religion, ah, fanatical ones that destroy the social environment must not exist. They must be uprooted."

Seitenshi: "I understand."

Ren: "Fanatical ones? Ones that destroy the social environment? Aqua, what do you think?"

Aqua: "..."

Aqua: "Idiot Ren!"

"Damn it!" Aqua puffed out her cheeks and pounded her pillow repeatedly. Ren was clearly talking about her Axis Order!

"What are you doing?" Megumin, beside her, was slumped on the table, listless.

She really wanted to cast Burst Magic... If she didn't cast it once a day, she'd feel uncomfortable all over.

Aqua suddenly looked at Megumin, got up, and pulled Megumin up: "Let's go, let's blow up the fortress!"

Vent! She had to vent fiercely! Treat the fortress as the idiot Ren and blow it up fiercely!

"Huh?" Megumin was startled at first, then immediately became full of energy.

You say that, and I'm not sleepy anymore!

Aqua stopped speaking again. Ren just wanted to tease her.

Ren: "Exusiai, Exu, nothing happened on your side after I left, right?"

Exusiai: "You ran really fast. The foul-mouthed woman who came later was easily subdued and surrendered by Patriot."

Ren: "W is so miserable!"

That was Patriot in perfect condition. W was too miserable.

Exusiai: "Then we returned to Lungmen. I'm not very clear about the specific situation at Rhodes Island."

Exusiai: "By the way, what about that Reunion Movement leader you took away? FrostNova and the others asked me to help keep an eye on the news."

Ren: "Still the same, lifeless and sluggish, with suicidal tendencies."

Talulah has already been granted the Power of Sin and transformed into a Sin Apostle.

She's temporarily placed in the faith realm to be looked after by Cai, Hong, and the others.

Just like before, she's still in that state.

He has already found a way to restore Talulah. But for now, he doesn't plan to deal with her; he'll let her reflect for a while first.

Training a Little dragon girl is a technical job; you can't rush it.

Exusiai: "Okay, I'll tell FrostNova and the others the news."

Ren: "Mhm, I mainly asked if you, Exu, are safe. It's fine as long as you're okay."

Exusiai: "Hehe, I'm perfectly fine!"

*****

"Texas, why is Exusiai wiggling like a maggot?"

On the sofa, Exusiai was twisting and turning, giggling.

Croissant really wanted to say: Exusiai, don't be like this, I'm scared.

Kou turned to look, cutely guessing: "Exu must be thinking of something happy."

Texas looked up at the faint pink glow emanating from Exusiai's halo.

"..." With a snap, the Pocky was bitten in half.

Exusiai in this state... she had seen it before.

Once, after showering, she noticed movement in Exu's room.

Passing by, she peeked through the slightly ajar door and saw her performing some traditional handiwork.

At that time, her halo emitted a pink light, even brighter than now.

The only thing she could think of was the mysterious man named Ren.

When did this happen? Texas was also very puzzled.

Exusiai had always been with them, yet they hadn't noticed her interacting with anyone else.

However... if it was that person, it made sense.

Ren was strong, strong enough to defeat Syracuse alone.

It seemed no one was causing trouble for Exusiai, so Ren felt relieved.

Coincidentally, there was a new notification in the Chat Group.

*****

[Ding! White Blood Cell has joined the Chat Group!]

[Ding! Platelet has joined the Chat Group!]

???

Ren somewhat suspected if he had misread it.

"Mhm... what's wrong... mhm... Ren..."

Sayuri felt Ren's waist straighten again and asked indistinctly.

Ren shook his head, patted her head, and signaled: "Nothing, just continue."

"Mhm." Sayuri relaxed and continued to earnestly complete her work.

Ren focused his attention on the Chat Group.

Silver Wolf: "White Blood Cell? Platelet? Is it what I'm thinking?"

Tushan Honghong: "What are White Blood Cells and Platelets?"

Rory Takakura: "I want to know too."

In their era, there didn't seem to be a concept of cells yet.

Silver Wolf: "Simply put, many living organisms, including humans, are composed of cells. White Blood Cells and Platelets are part of the body that ensures the proper functioning of the organism."

Rory Takakura: "Eh! They're part of the body, but they can also talk and think?"

This description felt so creepy, like a haunting.

Rory Takakura held her Ice Frog in her hand, feeling a slight sense of security.

Exusiai: "This should be a codename. Many people in our land use codenames."

March 7th: "Mhm, that makes a lot of sense, it's just that these codenames are too strange."

Tendo Kisara: "Using human cells as codenames is fine. For example, White Blood Cell, symbolizing the slaying of evil enemies, still has abstract meaning."

"..." Ren twitched his lips. They were completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

Others didn't know. But he knew that there really might be living cells.

Cells at Work. It tells the story of anthropomorphic human cells fighting against bacteria and diseases.

White Blood Cell: "I am White Blood Cell 1196. Is this a new way of transmitting information? Are there any bacteria or viruses invading that need to be dealt with?"

Platelet: "Mhm, if there are any wounds, we'll also rush over as soon as possible!"

Ren: "..."

It's confirmed, these statements are undoubtedly from cells.

Emilia: "Are the newcomers speaking in some kind of code?"

Momonga: "Very possible. Some guild members like to use code words for command during combat."

Saeko Busujima: "Gangs are the same."

Seitenshi: "Mhm, for secret operations, I also have people use codenames."

Platelet: "Um... I don't quite understand what everyone is saying..."

Ren: "Ahem."

He felt it was better to end the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

Ren: "Although it's very surprising, I must tell everyone that the two newcomers are very likely to be actual cells within living organisms."

Silver Wolf: "Cells can join the Chat Group?"

Bronya: "They can even talk..."

March 7th: "I feel like Ren, you're tricking me. How can cells talk?"

Platelet: "Mhm... E-everyone communicates!"

Mikoto Suoh: "... ..."

Momonga: "I'm willing to trust the big shot, but this is too strange, isn't it?"

Ren: "That's just how it is. The world is vast, and there's nothing new under the sun. They should all be anthropomorphic cells."

Aqua: "As the Goddess of Water... this is the first time I've heard of such a situation."

Ren: "Actually, I'm very curious!"

Esdeath: "Oh? Is there something that even you are curious about?"

Nami: "What is it?"

Ren: "White Blood Cell, Platelet, you can see your personal information, right?"

White Blood Cell: "Yes."

Platelet: "I... I can too."

Ren: "Can you tell me what the apocalypse of your world is?"

White Blood Cell: "Future Apocalypse (1 Star), is that it?"

Platelet: "We're the same, Future Apocalypse (1 Star)."

Ren: "I see."

Reinhardt: "Has Ren-kun discovered something?"

Ren: "I have a bold guess."

Ren: "The subject of a 1-star apocalypse is likely to affect a single biological individual."

Ren: "And looking at the known apocalypses so far, the subject of a 4-star apocalypse should be planetary in scope."

Ren: "So, the middle 2-star and 3-star apocalypses are likely to be between a biological individual and a planetary scope."

Silver Wolf: "This aligns with your previous speculation, the observation point speculation."

Bronya: "Because the world observed by White Blood Cell and Red Blood Cell within a living organism is that organism itself, the organism itself is the world, and the death of the organism is the end of the world."

Shinobu Kocho: "I see."

This also resolved Ren's long-standing confusion.

The apocalypse of Saeko and Shinobu Kocho's world wasn't a four-star apocalypse because it was incredibly powerful.

It was because there existed apocalypses with observation points smaller than the scope of Earth.
