I! Cleaner!-Chapter 991 - 910: The End of Death

Only two people can be rescued immediately?

After hearing the notice from the third-generation director, the four directors at the bottom of the Cliff of the End exchanged glances, then the Cancer director was the first to speak, waving a hand and saying:

"You guys decide, I don't have many years left anyway. Even if I go up, I'll have to come back down soon, so there's no need to bother."

"Cough cough... Don't!"

The Taurus director shook his head at these words, stopping him by saying:

"You are the most suitable to go up among us. Currently, no one can perfectly succeed the [Belly God's Prison]. Even if it can be temporarily sealed by other means, it's still safest with you watching over it."

"Joan is right."

The Sagittarius director beside nodded slightly and then spoke expressionlessly:

"We are the directors of the Cleaning Bureau; we must consider the bureau's situation first. Currently, the cleaners who inherited Cancer's secret technique have not yet matured, lacking suitable replacements, so you should go up.

In contrast, many have initiated into Sagittarius's secret techniques, and they can be used jointly. Even if I, as a director, am not around, there will be others to take over when Sagittarius's secret techniques are needed. Besides, I also have limited years left, so I'm the one who should stay."

"It's the same for me."

After the Sagittarius director's analysis, the Taurus director calmly added:

"The third-generation director's achievements in Secret Smithing Techniques surpass mine and can perfectly replace my position until the next Taurus director emerges, so I should be the one to stay."

"I also..."

"You should go up."

Interrupting the Pisces director, the Taurus director coughed like a bellows, then warmly persuaded:

"Your soul condition is quite special, with four souls taking turns controlling the body. The erosion from the death authority would be heavier, so for safety's sake, it's most suitable for you and Cancer to go up together."

"Right, right! Then let's decide on it!"

Seeing that the Taurus and Sagittarius directors decided to stay, the third-generation old man lying at the top of the Cliff of the End nodded repeatedly, then joyously turned back to call out:

"Hey you, come on, open fire, quickly shoot those two kids up!"

"Okay."

Looking at the third-generation old man's wide, beaming smile, Leon nodded in response, then carried his sniper rifle to the edge of the cliff and shot the Taurus director's head.

"..."

"..."

"..."

(ಠ_ಠ)(ಠ_ಠ)(ಠ_ಠ)?!!!

"Damn, missed..."

Noticing the stiff smile on the third-generation director's face, Leon's fair complexion slightly reddened, and with a look of guilt, he offered a sincere apology:

"I'm really sorry, my shooting skills are quite rusty... perhaps you could discuss it again?"

"..."

You kiddo... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As the aura of death quickly receded with the bullet, uncontrollably floating up from the bottom of the Cliff of the End, the first resurrected Taurus director helplessly looked at Leon, momentarily at a loss for words.

Missing like that was clearly just a bit of nonsense because, due to Olivia, Leon had the best relationship with himself among the directors. This kid clearly couldn't bear to see himself suffering below, so he intentionally shot him first. This is truly...

"It's okay, this is fine too!"

Just when the Taurus director couldn't decide whether to say something or not to Leon, the voice of the Pisces director called up from below the Cliff of the End.

"I only get affected when switching souls. Taurus's soul itself is incomplete, making the situation much worse for her. It's best if she goes up... As for the remaining opportunity, give it to Cancer; if he doesn't go up, [Belly God's Prison] will have no one to manage it."

"Sorry..."

Glancing apologetically at the Pisces director, Leon raised the gun again to aim, and this time, his aim was much more accurate; with a bang, he shot the Cancer director cleanly on the forehead, efficiently bringing him up.

Though feeling somewhat sorry for the Pisces director, this confirms that the third-generation old man indeed "dodges" every generation of Taurus!

Glancing at the third-generation old man, who looked like he had lost everything, Leon confirmed his suspicion and then shouted down to the two directors left below:

"Lord Sagittarius, Lord Pisces! Don't worry; I will quickly find and slay two pillar gods to bring you up soon!"

"..."

You make it sound... like pillar gods are common vegetables you can buy anytime on the street...

Hearing Leon's words, the directors couldn't help but feel awkward; even the Taurus director, who had the most confidence in him, couldn't help but advise him not to act recklessly.

And after Leon repeatedly nodded agreeing and assured them he wouldn't act rashly, he silently opened the badge panel and equipped a brand-new gray death badge.

[Through a literally death-filled battle, you have successfully completed an unprecedented hunt, devouring all entities above True God in the Realm of the Dead]

[Your gold-grade hidden badge "Gluttonous Demon" has successfully advanced to an anomaly-colored hidden badge "I Am the End of Death (Ash)"]

[I Am the End of Death (Anomaly·Ash·Non-upgradable): Life is a journey towards death, and death is a destined festival; all that lives melts into death, like water vanishing into water... then I drink it all]

[Equipping Effect: After causing fatal damage to any "living being," you will temporarily gain the special state "Drinker"]

[Drinker: When a new dead "drop" passes through the sky of the dead realm and is sent by you into the great lake beneath the Cliff of the End, you will appear in this crystal-clear lake.

If you find this drop in the lake and choose to drink it, regardless of how massive this new dead "drop" is, it will completely return to the world's origin, being given an equal end]

[Advancement Path: Achieved the highest level, cannot advance further]

[Hidden Trait: Your existence has already invaded part of the death rules, hence all pillar gods who grasp the "world's principles" will immediately understand upon you equipping this badge that being killed by you doesn't result in awaiting revival but faces the most thorough end]

"Hmm?"

As Leon equipped the badge [I Am the End of Death], Emma beside him was slightly stunned, immediately casting a gaze full of surprise, while from the direction of the third-generation old man came a near-simultaneous boom like a drumbeat.

"Sorry, sorry~"

Receiving the puzzled gazes from everyone, the third-generation old man quickly clutched his chest, chuckling awkwardly:

"I am feeling a bit uncomfortable... Well... since the people have been saved, I'll head back!"

"..."

Seems like aside from hair and waist belt, the third-generation director's heart, when alive, was probably also utilized by him.

Watching the third-generation old man, not even glancing at himself but rather clutching his chest hard, hurrying into a coffin, Leon said nothing, instead turning to Emma beside him, inquiring purposefully:

"Emma... senior, now that you've become the new Overlord of the Dead Realm, what are your plans?"

What plans do I have?

Hearing this, Emma blinked, almost instantly grasping Leon's meaning.

"I'm not that familiar with the Dead Realm... do you have any suggestions?"

"I do."

Glancing at the hidden trait column of [Materialism] with a Death Realm resolution as high as 49.9%, Leon couldn't help but smile, his eyes flickering as he said:

"The current Dead Realm is too cruel; the process of helping the deceased return to the world is too painful. We might as well make it more gentle... let's start by adding eighteen layers of hell!"
