Chapter 364·BE13·“New World”

From atop Yinke's back, Su Ming'an saw the players below as tiny as ants, scattered like black dots across the streets and alleys of the island.

River channels crisscrossed, dividing this bloodstained land into neat squares.

He saw that holy church, covered in golden light.

At its peak, the glazed roof gleamed undiminished in the snow, a phantom golden bridge reaching upwards, connecting Pulaya with the Deity's city in the sky.

Like a golden galaxy spanning the sky.

The blizzard faced him head-on. Su Ming'an bowed his head, burying his face in the raven's feathers to avoid the overwhelming wind and snow.

Still wearing the Soul Hunt Suit, which felt rather thin, combined with a substantial loss of blood, he felt cold inside and out.

"...Su Ming'an," Noel's voice came through the wind and snow, slowly reaching him from the side, "what do you think a god is?"

"Sorry, I'm in a bad mood right now," Su Ming'an said, burying his head in the still-warm feathers.
