yes.
As soon as Shangguan Su finished speaking, Tang Zijun immediately realized what was happening.
Perhaps because she had always been used to pushing forward recklessly, Tang Zijun never considered how much harm the environment could cause to people.
Tang Zijun always believed that he was a genuine human being, which led him to subconsciously think that if something was harmless to him, it would be harmless to other ordinary people as well.
But in fact, Tang Zijun had already discovered that she was different from ordinary people. This was evident from her ability to transform into a grass monster, which showed that her body was already different from that of ordinary people.
In this situation, the pollution of divine power might not affect him, but it would be a different story for the archaeologists and bigwigs of Star City.
They might have a way to deal with zombies, but faced with the indescribable divine power contamination, black donkey hooves and glutinous rice probably wouldn't be of much use.
"So, we still need to think about this again," Shangguan Su said with a soft laugh. "The Magic Bureau is a people-oriented family. Not only are magical girls precious, but every agent is precious. We invest a lot of manpower and resources to train them, not to send them to their deaths."
Seeing Tang Zijun nodding silently, Shangguan Su continued.
"The information you provided this time was very helpful. Although we don't know if the Earth Gods carry the same pollution as the Dream Gods, we still have to be on guard. When faced with such an unscientific existence, caution is the best weapon."
"Now you know how important your job is. After obtaining the sample of the dream world from the bureau, our strategic direction has begun to shift in your favor."
"It's fair to say that all our major operations in the next few phases are planned around the information you provided. And with Katie acting as a dimensional traversal train, if we really do find the secret realm of the gods in the future, we'll probably have to trouble you to make a trip."
Since Shangguan Su has said so, what else can Tang Zijun say?
"Alright, I can't refuse."
The original purpose of establishing the Bureau of Magical Supervision was simply to hope that the magical girls could live a better life and receive some assistance when dealing with heretical demons.
But as things continued to develop, one problem after another emerged. Judging from Shangguan Su and her team's strategy, they were clearly more concerned than he was.
Of course, this is also a good thing. Compared to the heretical demons and their unknown demon gods, the problems of the dream gods are probably more serious.
With the Demon Surveillance Bureau backing me up, I can finally unleash my full potential and get things done.
What's the point of beating up a few officials? A real man should face the gods head-on!
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun smiled and adjusted her glasses, wondering if Shi, now knowing the truth, would make the right choice...
They returned to the shadow world.
The lonely figure appeared exceptionally small in the darkness.
There was no light or life here; the chaotic space was distorted and gloomy, and even time seemed to have lost its meaning.
He walked step by step, each step treading on the dust of shadows.
The surrounding voices continued incessantly, speaking in languages that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, but she was not affected and instead moved forward with determination.
Despite the oppressive darkness surrounding her seemingly swallowing her whole, a resolute look remained in her eyes—she had made some kind of preparation.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi finally returned to the shore of that black lake.
Black Lake is like a giant black hole, exuding a chilling aura. The water is calm and still, as if it has been corrupted by some force.
She stood quietly by the lake. In the past, when she came here, she always felt a sense of comfort and peace, but for some reason, this time she felt that she could not calm her breathing.
After a slight hesitation, Shi slowly raised her hand, and then a shadow carrying a package emerged from behind her.
The sound of dark crystals colliding came from the package, which was unusually jarring in the deathly silent environment.
The dark crystals piled up silently in the darkness, emanating an unsettling power.
Chang Lei really didn't hold back this time. He knew that elite-level negative energy was far from enough to awaken a god with insufficient energy, so what he gave to Shi was at least captain-level dark crystals.
The origin of these dark crystals is actually quite interesting, as they were basically all killed in the "Shadow Calamity" event.
Obtaining a large amount of dark crystals that have not been diluted with negative energy in a short period of time is not an easy task. However, coincidentally, when the Shadow Disaster occurred, the sudden surge in negative energy opened up a gap in the real world, and almost the entire world was attacked by heretics to varying degrees.
Later, those enormous shadow energies spread out from the surface world, devouring ordinary people while also killing countless heretical demons who wanted a share.
What Chang Lei has in his hands are the 'spoils' he collected from various places around the world after leaving the Demon Surveillance Bureau when the Shadow Disaster occurred.
He originally planned to secretly hide these dark crystals and use their energy to restore his combat power in a critical moment, but he never expected that they would be returned to their rightful owner now.
Her dark eyes were fixed on the crystals, feeling the evil power surging before her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly.
After taking a deep breath, she gently waved her hand.
Immediately afterwards, the package containing a large amount of dark crystals drew an arc in the air and fell into the black lake with a "plop".
Huge splashes of water rose from the surface, like black lotus flowers blooming.
The dark crystal gradually sank, and several bubbles suddenly rose to the surface of the lake. Then, as if burning in flames, the entire black lake began to churn violently.
Shi stood by the lake, pretending to be calm as he watched everything unfold.
Her breathing was a little rapid, but her gaze never left the surface of the Black Lake, because she knew that the deity had awakened.
The lake water churned more and more violently, and thick black fog spewed out, as if the whole world was beginning to tremble slightly.
A terrifying force swept out like a raging tsunami, and in the muddy sewage, a tall figure slowly revealed itself.
The figure was enormous and terrifying, emanating a chilling aura.
Judging solely from the outline of her body, she was a woman with a graceful figure, but the destructive oppressive force revealed a brutality and terror completely different from her appearance.
Standing by the lake, watching the awakened deity, she swallowed hard and then knelt on one knee.
"My God, please forgive my transgression."
Just as she was about to speak, a sharp gaze swept over her, making her shudder.
Immediately afterwards, more shadow power began to gather on the lake surface. The dark forces surged rapidly with eerie whispers, then obediently crawled to Shi's side, as if they were welcoming some being together with her.
Although he was looking down, he could feel that the other person's gaze had fallen on him and was staring at him.
At the same time, the whispers that could drive an ordinary person mad began to rise in pitch and kept assaulting her mind, shaking her reason.
Then, amidst the whispers, a seductive voice slowly rose.
"Rise, my hero."
I don't know if it was intentional or if the other person's voice carried some kind of power.
Upon hearing that voice, the pressure on her body suddenly eased, and she almost fell to the ground. When she came to her senses, she found that the whispers around her had disappeared without her noticing.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the enormous figure in the middle of the lake in the distance.
"I, my God..."
"You did well." Before Shi could finish speaking, the figure calmly interrupted her. "It did take a lot of my strength to piece your broken body back together, but the fact that you were able to awaken me in such a short time is enough to prove your worth."
The voice sounded devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet it possessed an irresistible charm; just a few notes were enough to make one lower their guard.
This wasn't the first time she'd met the other person, so she quickly composed herself.
"My God, can this filthy energy truly help you restore your power?"
"...Energy itself is neither good nor evil. No matter how filthy it may be, as long as it can be of use to me, it is the best nourishment." The enormous figure slowly raised its palm. "However, this energy is indeed somewhat weak."
Taking a deep breath, Shi lowered his head again. "My god, you... our plan has failed. Those greedy ones... they seem to have gained even greater power..."
"A greedy person?"
The alluring figure tilted her head slightly, a faint smile seemingly appearing on her dark face.
"Times have really changed. I never thought that after a thousand years, even those clowns in the mirror would dare to mess with me. It seems they have forgotten their history."
"My God... there are rumors... that those greedy people have found the legacy of the gods..." Shi said, cautiously observing the other person. "...If they have truly obtained some kind of power, wouldn't that...?"
"No need to worry, there are no more gods in this world. As for the legacy..." The black figure paused for a few seconds before speaking softly. "With their power, they are far from being able to intervene in the realm of gods. As long as I can successfully open the boundaries of the Shadow Corridor, when the shadows envelop reality, those people in the mirror... will no longer be a threat."
"But," Shi slightly raised her head, "My God...hasn't our plan already failed?"
"fail?"
The aura of shadow began to rise slightly, and the enormous outline gradually began to materialize.
"No.:

"It's simply impossible to accomplish all this with the power your magical girl friend possesses alone."
"Her magic combined with the power of shadows did indeed touch the level of demigods, which would have been enough for mortals to call her a 'legendary hero' in my time. But I'm not foolish enough to use that to break down the barriers of the real world."
Shi frowned slightly. "My god, do you mean...?"
"That was just foreplay. I never expected your friend to accomplish the planned feat, but you certainly did a good job." The black figure's gaze fell on Lost. "At least you successfully opened the barrier between the Shadow Corridor and reality..."
"Without the barrier's protection, I can complete the final step of my plan..."
"When Shadow City descends high above the North Sea of Great Britain, the entire world will face the arrival of eternal night..."
