I Created a Containment Object at the Start, and Became a God

79: Onii-chan! Show me your heart!”Guinan leaned against the cold concrete rubble, his rapid breathing forming white mist inside his gas mask.

He gripped his Long Sword, his crimson eyes vigilantly scanning the silent ruins, trying to catch any hint of movement.

Suddenly—

”Hiss-ga—!”

”Hoh... Hoh...”

Hoarse, distorted, inhuman roars echoed from all directions, emanating from the shadows of the layered ruins!

These sounds were sharp and grating, filled with primal hunger and violence, as if countless eyes were fixed on him in the darkness!

A chill instantly shot up Guinan’s spine to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle! The sheer number... there were definitely more than a dozen! Cold sweat instantly soaked his Combat Uniform.

”Swish—!”

Another sound of something tearing through the air attacked from the right! Without thinking, Guinan countered with a fierce slash of his saber!

”Clang!” Sparks flew!

A massive, Mutated Crow—with shedding feathers, a beak as sharp as metal, and crimson eyes—was slashed away by his strike! But more dark shadows lunged from all directions!

Immediately following, an even more despairing scene unfolded—

Rustle... snap... Countless monsters of various forms crawled out densely from the cracks in the surrounding ruins, the layers of collapsed buildings, and even beneath the charred earth!

There were Humanoid Mutants with twisted bodies and festering skin, wearing tattered remnants of the clothes they wore in life, emitting unconscious groans.

There were bloated canines and felines whose claws and teeth had become exceptionally sharp, their dripping saliva corroding the ground.

There were even Chimeras, unrecognizable from their original species, haphazardly stitched together from multiple biological features, emitting sickening squirming sounds and shrieks... Their objective was clear—all pointed towards Guinan!

Damn it! Guinan’s heart pounded wildly, and the hand gripping the saber even trembled slightly from extreme tension.

Surrounded by such a massive number of monsters, even if he unleashed his full power, there was absolutely no chance of survival!

However, the strange thing was... these densely packed monsters, which had him completely surrounded, did not immediately rush forward to tear him apart.

They merely continued to emit threatening growls and shrieks, slowly tightening the encirclement, as if they were... waiting for something.

Guinan immediately realized something was wrong. He suppressed the fear in his heart and sharply scanned the horde of monsters.

Soon, he understood the reason.

On the outer edge of the encirclement, the monster horde parted like a tide, voluntarily clearing a path.

Tap... tap... tap... A petite figure, about the height of a three-year-old girl, walked unhurriedly from the depths of the path, moving with an unnaturally steady, almost rhythmically eerie gait.

When Guinan clearly saw the appearance of that ”little girl,” a chill far deeper than facing an army instantly froze his blood!

That was no little girl at all!

It was a... monster that defied description, radiating a soul-shivering terror!

As the petite figure drew closer, the surrounding monsters lowered their bodies like the most loyal servants, emitting whimpers of awe.

Guinan finally saw clearly—it truly had the appearance of a little girl, seemingly around three years old.

She wore a Small Floral Dress stained with grime and dark red spots, tightly clutching a worn-out cloth doll whose eyes were sewn crookedly, exposing the stuffing.

She tilted her small head, gazing at Guinan with a pair of seemingly innocent large eyes. Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a trace of childish grievance and expectation:

”Onii-chan... have you seen my mommy?”

This voice, this question, in the ruins littered with corpses and surrounded by monsters, felt incredibly eerie and terrifying!

Guinan’s heart suddenly contracted!

An inexplicable, instinctive fear instantly seized him, chilling him far more than facing blades and spears! He answered almost subconsciously, his voice dry.

”N-no... I haven’t seen her.”

The moment he finished speaking—

The trace of expectation and innocence on the little girl’s face vanished instantly and completely!

Her mouth curved downward at an unnatural angle, and her entire face seemed to turn into a stiff mask.

The most terrifying thing was her eyes—her originally clear pupils instantly lost all spirit and focus, transforming into two pure black holes, bottomless and seemingly capable of swallowing all light!

”Ugh!” Guinan groaned, clutching his chest suddenly!

He felt as if his heart was being fiercely squeezed by an invisible, icy hand, nearly stopping its beat! A suffocating feeling overwhelmed him!

Those hollow eyes ”watched” Guinan, and the little girl spoke again. Her voice was still soft and sweet, yet it carried an undeniable, spine-chilling sense of command:

”Then... Big Brother, can you play with me for a while? Until my mommy comes back...”

Cold sweat instantly drenched Guinan’s back.

His gaze quickly swept the surroundings—the densely packed monsters all took a step forward in unison as the little girl’s mood changed, their low growls filled with naked threat!

Sharp claws and drooling mandibles glinted coldly in the darkness! He had no doubt that if he dared to say ”no,” he would be torn to shreds the very next second!

The instinct for survival overruled everything. Guinan forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, swallowed hard, and squeezed a single word through his clenched teeth.

”...Okay.”

He tried hard to make his voice sound calm, even slightly gentle: ”Onii-chan will play with you. How... how shall we play?”

Hearing his answer, the corners of the little girl’s stiff face slowly curved upward, revealing an extremely ”standard” but utterly cold smile, like a smiley face forcibly pulled by strings.

She extended her other small hand, the one not holding the doll, using a slender, almost pale finger.

She gently pointed toward Guinan’s chest, and with the most innocent tone, she spoke the words that made his scalp explode:

”Onii-chan...”

”Will you... take out your heart and let me see it, okay?”
