I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 441 - 90: Change (4.2K Words)

Until the very end, Tian En still didn't forget to leave Mokaka with a piece of advice.

"Before discussing so-called great love and change, first learn to cherish every real person around you."

"If you don't learn how to love, then the so-called change is nothing but empty talk."

Though in Yun You's view, Tian En was always a bit extreme...

But at least this sentence, she felt it wasn't wrong.

If Mokaka wants to become a truly respected leader, she must learn to love... to seek revenge, and not take everything for granted.

This was probably the first time the young lady heard such reasoning.

Her expression became somewhat complicated, at times excited, at times downhearted, and then a bit puzzled...

But in the end, she was plunged into lengthy contemplation.

For the first time, she actively pondered those not-so-profound... but heartfelt principles.

"Yuanbao, stay here and keep an eye on Mokaka."

Yun You silently turned around, eyes locked on the bloodstains left on the ground.

Master Zero wasn't wrong, even if Tian En silently fled, she still left behind a trail of blood.

The wound on her back was simply too severe, even an Apprentice Death God couldn't stop the bleeding right away.

As long as they followed the trail of blood, Tian En couldn't escape.

"If you encounter Tian En later, you'll be able to handle her, right?"

Yun You looked back at Yuanbao and asked casually.

"Of course, no problem."

Yuanbao shrugged, having no doubts about this task.

"After all, I'm a legitimate Tier Two Apprentice Death God; even if my combat ability might not be strong, taking care of a severely wounded young thing like Xiao En should be a piece of cake."

"Don't worry, I'll protect this girl."

Yun You nodded lightly, and without further hesitation, followed the bloodstains out in pursuit.

Earlier, in Tian En's blood, she inadvertently caught a scent... somewhat similar to the lotus released by Karma Remnant Buddha.

Given the Buddha Statue's not particularly fast killing speed, Yun You had nearly confirmed Master Zero's earlier speculation, which is — this Karma Remnant Buddha is not a true Alef Creature.

It was merely a projection, forcibly summoned by Tian En using the power of the "Shaman Sequence," aided by the resentment in Corpse Lake — a flesh-and-blood amalgam.

Perhaps it had some characteristics of Alef Creatures, like indestructibility, auto-triggering the "Immeasurable Calamity" ability, etc., but those traits were largely imbued by Tian En, or rather, Tian En was fueling the Karma Remnant Buddha.

If she could make Tian En lose consciousness, or directly take her life... then the Karma Remnant Buddha would likely be weakened as well.

"In any case, think of a way to make Xiao En lose the ability to resist first."

Watching from afar as another human encampment was trampled by the Karma Remnant Buddha, Yun You silently shook her head and continued tracking the bloodstains.

...

In a forested area, inside an abandoned shack.

Heavily injured, Tian En limped and pushed open the door, breathing heavily as she stepped in.

Before entering, she deliberately scattered her blood around... She had been doing this all along the way, scattering blood every ten meters or so in different directions, precisely to mislead the trackers.

"Bang~"

As she closed the door, the doorknob accidentally scraped her back wound.

The intense pain made her gasp sharply, but afraid Yun You might hear the noise, she had to grit her teeth to suppress the anguished cry.

She tried using the death god's power to heal her injuries, but... Yun You's blade was just too strange; it looked incredibly smooth, without a single notch, yet the massive wound it left was uneven, as if torn by a wild beast.

It couldn't be healed.

Tian En bit her lips, finally picking up a stapler, using the staples to forcibly pin together the torn flesh, barely stopping the bleeding.

After doing all this, the girl's back was soaked in cold sweat, her entire body as if it had been dunked in water.

She slumped to the ground, her peripheral vision on the Karma Remnant Buddha still wreaking havoc outside, her eyes suddenly flickering with a hint of confusion.

"I..."

"Why did I leave that letter for the Hugo family's young lady in the end?"

At times, Tian En felt that two starkly different thoughts constantly emerged in her mind.

She was clearly here for revenge... to leverage Mokaka, so why did she leave a letter wishing Mokaka well at such a moment?

Human emotions are overwhelmingly complex, and even an Apprentice Death God finds it hard to make sense of them.

"Probably because I'm afraid of death."

After pondering for a long while, she finally found a reason for herself, but this reason seemed completely unrelated to her actions.

Actually, Tian En wasn't afraid of death, or strictly speaking... this operation, in essence, embraced a mindset of marching into death.

The Karma Remnant Buddha is an Alef Creature, even if just a projection, it's absolutely beyond her "control."

She couldn't be immune to the effects of "Immeasurable Calamity," and her actions merely served a guiding purpose, hoping to harness the Karma Remnant Buddha's strength to strike at the nobles she despised.

But danger was ever-present, even in Tian En's most perfect plan, she herself had a ninety percent chance of dying under the blow of Immeasurable Calamity.

Yet Tian En went through with it.

She had schemed for ten years, wasn't it all for this moment?
