I! Cleaner!

"This... Human."

As a group of bizarrely shaped death's messengers settled according to their identities and representing Overlords, under the terrified gaze of the female journalist, a reindeer composed of fine white bones spoke first:

"I overheard your conversation with the messengers of the Yellow Springs. If it's convenient, could you tell me your name?"

"My name is Nicole..."

"Alright, Miss Nicole."

Nodding towards the female journalist who wore a bitter expression, the bone reindeer gently said:

"Among everyone, you are the first to arrive at the Gate of the Deceased. Could you tell me who killed the guards of the God of Death?"

"Uh... I'm not really sure..."

The female journalist shook her head, then braced herself to say:

"I... It was already like this when I arrived. I actually didn't see anything."

"You're lying!"

At that moment, a dark purple swamp crocodile person stood up, opened its mouth towards the female journalist, and a man with an unfulfilled expression shouted from its mouth:

"I can sense it, everything you're saying is a lie! You were here before the Canine Deity was killed, and you know who the culprit is!"

"..."

Is this... the Adjudicator Crocodile? The messenger of the Crocodile God of Condemnation?

"Human, I advise you to think carefully before you speak."

Seeing the female journalist's sudden shock, the dark purple swamp crocodile closed its mouth and spoke coldly:

"The head in my mouth is because he lied in my presence, and that's why I ate him, leaving only a head stuck in my throat. If you keep lying, I won't mind using you to replace him."

"..."

I'm doomed...

Seeing the suddenly unfriendly glances of the death's messengers, the female journalist had no choice but to complain inwardly while stalling for time:

"It's not that I don't want to tell, mainly the person who killed the Canine Deity, uh... is very powerful, I'm worried..."

"You don't need to worry about anything."

Interrupting the female journalist, the bone reindeer spoke gently once more:

"Someone who can blatantly ignore Lord Angsi's status and madly kill him must be extremely powerful and cruel. If you witnessed all this, I can understand your fear of him.

But as death's messengers, the will of the Overlords is our will. We need to get the answer from you, and to fulfill the Overlord's will, we will stop at nothing. Please understand us on this point."

"..."

"Of course, that's the last resort if necessary."

After glancing at the female journalist's tightly clenched fists, the bone reindeer suddenly changed his tone, speaking calmly:

"If you haven't decided whether to reveal the identity of the culprit, we're willing to give you a bit more time to think, but during this period, you'll need to answer some other questions. For example...

What was the motive of the culprit?"

With empty eye sockets staring at the nervous female journalist, the bone reindeer, full of curiosity, inquired:

"Miss Nicole, I am personally very curious, what reason could possibly drive that culprit to make the wild decision to kill Lord Angsi?"

"This..."

Hearing this, the female journalist bit her lip, then took a deep breath, pointing at herself, eyes resolutely confessing:

"I won't say who that person is, but the reason he killed the Canine Deity is probably for..."

"Squeak..."

Just as the death's messengers were waiting for an answer, the back of the Canine Deity bulged slightly, producing the sound of a blade cutting through a tanned hide.

Then, a silver short knife emerged from the Canine Deity's back, slicing along the median of its spine, opening a three-meter-long gash.

?!!!

Seeing this scene, the death's messengers collectively took a step back, staring shockingly at the back of the Canine Deity's corpse.

With the bewildered gazes of the messengers, the first thing that appeared before them was a blood-soaked backside... A man dyed entirely red by Divine Blood was struggling to drag something, trying to squeeze out of the Canine Deity's body.

"Quick! Give me a hand!"

Failing to move the enormous heart of the Canine Deity after a couple of attempts, Leon, covered in blood and unable to open his eyes, had to call for help:

"Its heart is too big, it's hard to eat while inside, help me pull it out!"

Inside... eating?

At Leon's words, watching that human backside dive back into the Canine Deity, the death's messengers, stunned, collectively gasped, instantly having answers to the previous two questions.

The culprit who killed the guards of the God of Death was undoubtedly this man, and his heinous crime of brutally killing a True God...

Was just to eat?!!!

...

"Uh, wait, maybe you don't need to help."

After groping for a while, Leon found a large blood vessel still attached to the Canine Deity's heart. After cutting it with his knife, Leon, full of joy, emerged from its torn back, holding the half-meter-tall heart of the Canine Deity.

"Got it out!"

Taking a bite of the blood-dripping heart with blind enthusiasm, feeling a rising sense of security within his soul, Leon, having finally recovered his spirit, could not help bursting in joy while holding the remaining half of the Canine Deity's heart:

"It's indeed the heart that did it, one bite and I feel relieved."

With one bite...

Hearing Leon speak like this, with the look of bliss on his face and such a delicious and satisfied demeanor, even the seasoned death's messengers found their scalp tingling.

They'd seen audacious lunatics, mad enough to challenge the True God, and the longest-living bone reindeer, who once witnessed the fall of an Overlord of the Dead Realm.

But the scene of killing a True God, crawling inside its stomach, then emerging with the half-eaten heart, went beyond the limits of even the death's messengers.

Particularly seeing that face full of blood, with such a satisfied innocent smile, it bore a kind of cruel naivety, like watching a beast devour its kin on the spot, instinctively making people shiver.

"Nicole? Why aren't you talking?"

Seeing no response from Nicole, Leon wiped the blood off his face and, with black blood continuously dripping down, opened his eyes to ask curiously:

"You... Huh? Why are there so many people?"

"..."

(ŎдŎ|||)!(ŎдŎ|||)!(ŎдŎ|||)!

He noticed me! He noticed me!!!

As Leon's gaze swept over them, the death's messengers immediately took two big steps back, even the fish in the Yellow Springs River were so frightened they submerged beneath the water, not daring to resurface.

Facing a person who had subdued a True God, rather than fleeing, but staying to feast joyfully, what they need to consider now isn't whether they can fight but how to avoid being eaten!

Favored death's messengers generally don't die, and even if they did, they could be resurrected, but if they were to be eaten by such a terrifying man, survival would be uncertain!

"This... This... Honorable one."

After a dread-inducing silence, it was the leading bone reindeer who finally mustered the courage to speak, lowering its head respectably, asking dryly:

"May I ask... Are you full?"

"Uh... Pretty much..."

Seeing so many peculiar creatures, Leon also felt a little nervous.

Awkwardly responding, he was just about to ask about their identities when he caught sight of a familiar antler imprint on the forehead of the bone reindeer.

Another Embodiment of the Doe?!

Noticing this familiar mark, Leon's expression abruptly changed, his hair clumped from blood, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"You..."

"Run!!!"

Seeing the "Food God Demon" suddenly angry, the death's messengers, already beyond endurance, instantly collapsed in terror and ran cleanly away at the shrill shout from someone. Even the statue with no mouth jumped into the river, desperately swimming towards the bottom.

Being stared at by Leon, the bone reindeer didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly abandoning its body, exploding into fragments, going so far as to split its soul into four parts, fleeing in different directions.

"..."
