I! Cleaner!-Chapter 371 - 0313 Lack of Oxygen Can Make People Dumb (Part 1)_1

Yes, it was indeed oxygen deficiency.

Relying on the "free" seashell coins handed out by the Goddess of Fortune during the counterattack, Leon had bought up most of the oxygen in the valley. The oxygen content in the air of the entire Emerald Valley was extremely low.

Blurred vision, accelerated heartbeat, rapid blood flow, pale skin... all the abnormal symptoms on the Goddess of Fortune’s body were severe responses to oxygen deficiency. And even if she temporarily bought "health" for herself, it probably still wouldn’t resolve the state of oxygen deficiency.

As for the reason... there wasn’t just one Goddess of Fortune in Emerald Valley!

Although many had been killed by Leon and the Black Goat, there were still more than 29,000 headless Divine Corpses left in the valley. The human body currently carrying the main consciousness of the Goddess of Fortune would represent only about two or three percent of the "Goddess of Fortune" at most, which was about the weight of one hand compared to the whole.

Since the Goddess of Fortune could reclaim her power directly upon the destruction of the Divine Corpses, her connection with these separated bodies must have been extremely close and was not fully severed. Even watching the slight rise and fall of these corpses’ chests, their breathing and heartbeat were synchronized, not appearing much different from a whole.

And now, more than ninety-seven percent of her body was in a state of extreme oxygen deficiency. What use would it be for just one hand to remain healthy?

Just as Leon had predicted, the Goddess of Fortune, realizing that her body felt increasingly wrong, took out piles and piles of seashell coins and, relying on her authority, began frantically purchasing health, life, and vitality.

However, every time the state of this body was refreshed, ninety-seven to eight percent of the remaining body would immediately absorb two percent of the health, and then consume this exceptionally precious health at a rate thousands of times faster, bringing on even more intense pain.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

After several attempts, even trying different methods, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t escape the pain clinging to her like a bone attached to her flesh, ever approaching death. The Soulfire of the Goddess of Fortune, which she desperately tried to keep calm, started flickering wildly.

"No! This can’t be!"

Looking at Leon, who stood expressionless, overlooking her and quietly waiting for her death, the fear gripped the heart of the Goddess of Fortune, and she couldn’t help but throw her head back and roar:

"I don’t believe it! You’re considered weak among humans! How could you possibly possess the means to kill a True God like me?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the Goddess of Fortune’s words, Leon’s eyebrows raised slightly. He asked with a tone full of implication:

"Who told you I was a human of this world?"

???

How could you not be human? Your soul and body are genuinely...

Wait! Not a human of this "world"?

Yes! No wonder a weak Third-Class Cleanser could not only kill that toad and break its soul but also forcibly exempt my authority and even grasp techniques to kill me. So that’s how it is! That’s how it is!

Seeing Leon’s soul as steady as ever, showing no signs of chaos brought by lies, the Goddess of Fortune completely confirmed her suspicions and couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief:

"Are you... one of those people from the Old Soil? But isn’t the situation over there already... Uh... Wait! We may not necessarily be enemies!"

Seeing Leon’s eyes suddenly narrow, the Goddess of Fortune instinctively stopped from revealing more and urgently proposed:

"Although I am a True God reliant on humanity to exist, I have also been hunted and targeted by the Purification Bureau! Therefore, we can cooperate!"

"As long as you stop and let me go, I can swear by my authority that I will never reveal your origin! And no matter your agenda within the Purification Bureau, I can help you!"

??? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

So what exactly have you misunderstood?

Looking at the Goddess of Fortune before him, desperately clutching at what seemed to her like a last straw and attempting to "cooperate," Leon, who initially intended to bluff her using his identity as a traveler, felt a tug at his heart. He immediately opened the badge panel, using the Master Performer to replace Pity it’s Not.

"Heh, help me?"

Under the effects of the Master Performer, with the persona of a "Conspirator," Leon emotionlessly took two steps forward, standing before the Goddess of Fortune. Then, looking down at the slightly shorter Goddess, he said with indifference:

"No need. The best help you can give me is to die here peacefully."

?!

He’s no longer pretending! He only wants to silence me now!!!

Facing Leon, whose demeanor had suddenly changed radically, shaking off the previous guise of valuing companionship and bravely warm-bloodedness, transforming into someone emanating a cold and sinister air and a gaze full of indifference, the Goddess of Fortune, weak all over, almost fell to her knees.

Based on the effects of the Master Performer’s wearing effect, the more unfamiliar someone was with Leon’s appearance, voice, and character, the more susceptible they were to be influenced. And if someone was sufficiently unfamiliar with Leon and hadn’t discovered any glaring inconsistencies, they might even deeply believe Leon was the role he played.

Meeting Leon for the first time today, the Goddess of Fortune was fully under the spell of the Master Performer’s effect, shivering under Leon’s look, which regarded her as though she were a corpse.

"You... you can’t kill me!"

Growing more terrified, the Goddess of Fortune summoned her last bit of courage to resist:

"I am a True God! My soul is too vast. Whatever means you use to process it, there will inevitably be fragments falling into the Realm of the Dead! If the Purification Bureau discovers my soul fragments, your identity will be..."

"They won’t."

Interrupting the Goddess of Fortune, Leon, the visitor from the Old Soil who had infiltrated the Purification Bureau with unspeakable intentions but inadvertently stumbled upon and had no choice but to eliminate the Goddess of Fortune, responded coldly:

"The soul entering the Realm of the Dead will walk the ’No Return Path.’ My companions are already there waiting.

"And before I spoke, those two Cleaners had already lost consciousness and hadn’t heard our conversation. So as long as you can die quietly, whatever happened here will never be known to a third person."

"..."

Someone is already at the entrance to the Realm of the Dead, guarding it? Even my soul fragments after death need to be destroyed? Do you have to be so thorough?

Watching Leon’s soul remain steady throughout, without any traces of lying, the Goddess of Fortune couldn’t hold on any longer. After teetering slightly, she collapsed to the ground, eyes filled with despair.

Just as she prepared to take a last desperate chance before being eliminated, she noticed Leon’s gaze seem to involuntarily glance at the fallen Female Cleaner in the distance.

Wait! I still have one last card to play!

"Let me go, or I will immediately kill those two Cleaners!"

With a sudden revelation, the Goddess of Fortune’s eyes widened, and she shouted fiercely:

"If those two Level One Cleaners die, but you, a Third-Class Cleanser, survive, and this True God never shows up, the Purification Bureau would certainly focus on you, suspecting that you were controlled by me!

"And your history surely won’t hold under scrutiny. Even if there are no differences between Old Soil humans and those of this world, once the Purification Bureau begins to suspect you, your infiltration is as good as a failure!"
