I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1063 - 979: The Ascent of the Divine Staircase (Conclusion)

Listening to the cold questioning in his ear and looking at the fifty levels of grey steps that spread out again with a swoosh, Leon and the others couldn't help but freeze, while the gods at the long table were utterly dumbfounded.

Unable to hold back, he glanced back and saw the extremely complex expression on the White Serpent's face. The Snake Handler Director first fell silent for two seconds, then controlled Leon's body, crossed his arms, and looked down at the gods with disdain, saying:

"Hmph! Making a fuss over nothing!"

"As the blood within 1.2 billion people, having witnessed their end with my own eyes, and having personally experienced countless deaths! Is it strange that I can comprehend the power of death?"

Upon hearing the "Snake Handler Director's" words, a True God wearing a wild boar mask on the right of the White Serpent couldn't help but clench his fist and pound his hand, then said with a look of realization:

"I see!"

"See my ass!"

Unable to resist slapping him, sending the stupid pig to the ground, and watching the "Snake Handler Director" start to climb the Ascender's long steps vigorously, the White Serpent couldn't help but roar hysterically:

"Even if he's a genius, could he really create a fifty-level staircase of death? Even with your ass, you should know, He's definitely the Food God! The Food God disguised as the Snake Handler Director snuck in!!!"

"Hurry... Run!"

"Run for what! He can't come down now!"

"Then we..."

"Ambush him at the Source God Platform!"

Looking at the figure on the Ascender's long steps, the White Serpent gritted his teeth and said:

"All anomalies will lose effect in the Source God Platform! As long as we block him, he's finished!"

"Yes! Block him!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hearing the White Serpent's words, the wild boar mask man quickly got up and, glaring at the Food God who had just deceived him, shouted indignantly:

"Count me in!"

...

Damn, can't bluff them anymore!

Sighing that plans can never keep up with changes, Leon watched the panel begin to flash with the words [I am the end of death], decisively ignored the gods below, who had erupted into chaos, and directly replied:

'I am death!'

'...'

Apparently not expecting Leon to answer like that, the Ascender's long steps fell silent for a few seconds, seemingly off to verify, and eventually replied with an okay, stepping back one level and then continued:

'Death means...'

'Me!'

'The end of death...'

'Me me me! Whatever you ask later, my answer is "me"!'

Eager to hurry and engrave himself, not wanting to answer question by question, Leon urged directly:

'No matter what steps or questions are ahead, just fill in with my answer! However many are correct, are correct, if it's wrong, just throw me down! Quick quick quick! I'm in a hurry!'

'...'

It was probably the first time encountering such a bizarre Ascender. Faced with Leon's request, the Ascender's long steps were silent for a while, before reminding, a little hesitantly:

'The questions I ask can each help you better understand your powers and even help you ascend more steps, are you sure you want to...'

'I'm sure!'

Unexpectedly finding out that the debating long steps are negotiable, Leon couldn't help but be overjoyed, and proceeded to nod vigorously:

'My answer is "me"! Climb as many steps as I can! Quick quick quick!'

'...'

'Alright then...'

Seeing Leon's persistent insistence, the Ascender's long steps sighed deeply, then retreated over forty steps in one go, directly moving Leon to the end of the Death's Staircase.

'What about this?'

'You are already standing at the end of death, whether or not you climb is the same.'

With a tone tinged with emotion, after responding coldly to Leon's question, the Ascender's long steps retreated once more, unveiling a series of other steps of varying colors.

'These are the Steps of Fear.'

After placing Leon on a constantly screaming step, the Ascender's long steps silently judged:

'Although you don't understand fear, no one is better at creating fear than you, even the other True Gods who share the power of fear have an almost instinctive dread of you, and in the future, you will create unprecedented great horrors... forty-nine steps.'

Under the fearful and admiring gaze of the gods below, the Food God on the Ascender's long steps moved to the end of the Fear's Staircase from the end of the Death's Staircase, crossing nearly a hundred steps in the blink of an eye.

Over a hundred steps!

Looking at Leon standing at the end of the Fear's Staircase, the gods below turned pale as if strangled, falling into a pin-drop silence.

The known True God who climbed the highest on the Ascender's long steps was the former Yellow King before becoming one of the supreme four pillars, with thirty-three steps on the stages of [Order], [Prosperity], and [Fate], ascending to the ninety-ninth step.

Yet the Food God not only surpassed the Yellow King during his godhood, becoming the first hundred-step True God, but ascended a total of one hundred fifty-eight steps across the stages of [Justice], [Blood], [Death], and [Fear]!

Moreover, what made the gods' scalps tingle was that these one hundred fifty-eight steps didn't seem to be the end!

'You don't see yourself as courageous, but you are ready to challenge everything, and know exactly how to proceed, this too, is courage... thirty-nine steps.'

Retreating thirty-nine steps, moving Leon to the end of the golden Steps of Courage, under the gods' gazes on the brink of collapse, the Ascender's long steps extended once more, displaying a twenty-one step, night-deep, invisible long step.

'You have no interest in nightmares, but your actions will ultimately bring unparalleled nightmares to your opponents... twenty-one steps.'

'You don't like the night, but you will personally unveil the curtain that shrouds everything, becoming one above the sun... fourteen steps.'

'You... Heart Lake... ten steps.'

'You... False Illusion... eight steps.'

In the indifferent judging voices, Leon's figure rose higher and higher in the long steps, finally stopping at the end of the two hundred fiftieth step, amid the despairing gazes of the True Gods below.

'This is as far as it goes.'

Trying to retreat, finding no more room, the ever-cold voice of the Ascender's long steps carried a trace of warmth for once:

'You still have many fragmented powers, but none sufficient to meet the minimum requirement for ascending deity status, unable to complete the engraving of self. This is your limit.'

'Congratulations, as a being who has ascended a full two hundred fifty steps, even if you disappear into time completely, you will forever be remembered by the Source God Platform as the great achievement of the two-hundred-fifty True God.'

"..."

Isn't this number a bit too awkward? And what kind of nickname do you mean!

Facing the Ascender's long step's congratulations, Leon's cheek couldn't help but twitch, then tentatively asked:

'Can I move up just a little more? Even by one step...'

'No.'

Unhesitatingly rejecting Leon's proposal, the seventy-five-step debating long steps shattered, and Leon, feeling the ground vanish beneath him, fell toward the unknown world below.

"Damn it!"

Accompanied by a national curse, the unprecedented two hundred fifty True God vanished from the sight of the Slaughter King Association's gods.

As the Food God and the Ascender's long steps shattered and scattered, drifting into the depths of the Source God Platform, the members of the Slaughter King Association couldn't help but turn their heads, looking dazedly at the ash-faced White Serpent.

"White Serpent..."

Smacking his lips slightly, the True God with the boar mask said somewhat guiltily:

"Should we... still go to block him?"
