Chapter 276: Confrontation of the Dual Gods
The Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods.
A Zhu sat on the steps of the hospital, holding a broom, watching Lin Qiye in the courtyard, who looked like a stone sculpture, and sighed deeply.
“A Zhu, you’re slacking off again.”
Li Yifei walked out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on the apron around his waist, and sat down next to A Zhu.
“Brother Fei, when do you think the director will wake up?” A Zhu propped her head up, her mind wandering as she asked.
“Grandma said that when it’s time to wake up, he will naturally wake up.” Li Yifei looked at that figure and said.
“But, hasn’t he been asleep for so long? Won’t he be hungry?”
Li Yifei’s mouth twitched slightly. “How about you contribute a spider leg? When the director wakes up, we can stew it for him to replenish his strength?”
A Zhu’s little face turned pale, and she silently hugged her arms, stubbornly saying, “The director… the director doesn’t like to eat my spider legs!”
“He hasn’t tried it, how do you know he doesn’t like it?” Li Yifei looked at A Zhu with mischief, licking his lips. “How about I try it for him first?”
A Zhu was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground, puffing up her cheeks and saying, “Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore!”
Just as she turned around, she saw a red-haired woman standing beside her.
“Sister Hongyan, he’s bullying me again!” A Zhu hid behind Hongyan, pointing at Li Yifei.
Hongyan protected A Zhu with one hand, her orange-yellow vertical pupils fixed on Li Yifei, her expression serious as she spoke with unclear enunciation:
“He, cannot be eaten.”
“I was just joking. Who would want to eat those little skinny arms? Pork knuckles are much more fragrant.” Li Yifei shrugged and patted the steps beside him. “Come back and sit.”
After hesitating for a moment, A Zhu sat back down, and Hongyan also sat beside her.
The three caregivers sat quietly, staring blankly at the person in the courtyard.
“When will he wake up?” Hongyan pointed at Lin Qiye and asked.
“I don’t know either…” Li Yifei shook his head, his gaze falling on Nikes beside Lin Qiye. “I also don’t know who will win today, Uncle Merlin or Grandma…”
In the courtyard.
Nikes sat in a rocking chair, knitting a sweater beside the sleeping Lin Qiye, basking in the sun, occasionally murmuring something, seemingly talking to Lin Qiye.
Not far away, Merlin, draped in a blue robe, slowly approached.
As soon as Merlin stepped into the courtyard, a faint black thread floated past him. He frowned and stopped.
“It’s been a year.” Merlin looked at Nikes, who was knitting in the rocking chair, and spoke calmly. “He should wake up.”
“Let him sleep a little longer.” Nikes replied lightly.
“Everything that should happen has already happened; no one can change it. Avoiding it won’t solve any problems.” Merlin frowned. “We both know what he is burdened with; he can’t hide forever in that comfortable little world…”
“He’s just too tired.” Nikes raised her eyes to look at Merlin not far away. “If he wants to rest a little longer, let him. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for him as his mother.”
Merlin stared at Nikes for a long time, shaking his head. “No, you can’t… Today, I must wake him up.”
“You can’t do it.” Nikes replied calmly.
Merlin took a step forward again, and the magical elements around him surged violently, the divine might of the God of Magic descending upon the hospital.
At the same time, countless black threads extended from the void!
Nikes sat quietly in the rocking chair, her black starry gown seeming to transform into a whole piece of night, blocking Merlin’s path, her aura becoming deep and ethereal.
Merlin’s face was serious, his feet hovering in mid-air, his blue robe billowing without wind, brilliant blue light flickering in his eyes, and several massive magic circles instantly opened behind him!
The auras of the Goddess of Night and the God of Magic clashed in this small courtyard!
Blue and black rampaged through the courtyard, and the wind howled!
The three caregivers sat on the steps, watching the scene before them, silently yawning.
“What do you think will happen today?” Li Yifei turned to his colleagues.
“I think today, Grandma will win.” A Zhu thought for a moment and said honestly.
“Same.” Hongyan succinctly replied.
Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, his gaze returning to the courtyard, uncertainly saying, “I think Uncle Merlin is serious this time; maybe there will be a change today…”
…
In the courtyard, the magical elements emitted by Merlin seemed endless, the blue light surging wildly, gradually gaining the upper hand.
Nikes, sitting in the rocking chair, frowned, her hands knitting slowly coming to a stop.
“Since you’re serious, then I’ll accompany you to the end…”
A hint of black appeared in Nikes’ eyes, and the sweater in her hands instantly transformed into countless black threads, merging into the night. She stood up gracefully from the rocking chair, her fingertips gently pointing forward.
Stars began to twinkle in the darkness.
Both Merlin and Nikes became serious, the divine might filling the courtyard surged several times, the raging wind blew away the clothes on the rack, and the clattering sounds came from the kitchen, as if bowls and chopsticks had been knocked to the ground.
A Zhu exclaimed, nearly blown away by the wind, but fortunately, Hongyan reached out in time and held her in her arms.
Li Yifei raised his hands in front of him, peering through his fingers to observe the situation in the courtyard, the blue caregiver uniform flapping in the wind.
“It’s over, it’s over! They are serious! The hospital is going to be demolished!” Li Yifei muttered.
Boom—!!
A dull roar echoed from the courtyard, and in an instant, the pressure from the two gods vanished, blue and black extinguished like they were snuffed out by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace.
Merlin’s lips curled slightly.
Nikes suddenly turned her head, and in the courtyard, the figure sitting like a sculpture had its eyelids twitching slightly, as if about to awaken.
In this psychiatric hospital, no one could instantly suppress the two deities, except for… Lin Qiye.
Under the pressure of the two gods, he, still in slumber, instinctively suppressed the energy fluctuations around him. Even though he had not yet awakened, he had undoubtedly reached the brink of awakening.
This was the only time in a year that Lin Qiye had reacted to changes in the outside world.
Nikes abruptly turned to Merlin, her voice tinged with anger. “Was this part of your plan?”
Merlin slightly bowed, speaking with sincere apology. “I’m sorry, Lady Nikes. I couldn’t think of any other way to wake him up…”
Nikes had no time to argue further. She quickly walked to Lin Qiye’s side, looking at those eyes that were about to open, softly speaking:
“Are you okay… my child?”
