The players waited anxiously for the Demon to appear, but after a long while, nothing happened.
The Demon never appeared.
At that moment, everyone suddenly saw Xu Ya emerge from underground, and she was holding an arm in her hand.
A man asked with great surprise, "You're back! Is that the arm of the Lord of the Netherworld in your hand?"
"Yes, I got it!" Xu Ya said excitedly.
Everyone was shocked; they hadn't expected Xu Ya to obtain the Lord of the Netherworld's arm so easily.
With this crucial tool, their god will soon arrive.
All the players gathered around Xu Ya, carefully examining the withered arm in her hand.
"Is this the arm of the Lord of the Netherworld? How come it looks almost the same as an ordinary person's?"
"It's a bit bigger than an average person's arm, but not by much. It seems the Lord of the Netherworld is just a relatively tall human."
"I thought the Lord of the Netherworld would be something strange."
"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?" Someone couldn't help but question as they saw that only Xu Ya had returned.
"They all sacrificed themselves; they paid the ultimate price for this arm. God will not forget them."
"Let's hand over the arm to the people inside the temple first. We can talk about other things later. Completing the mission as soon as possible is the most important thing."
"Yes, although they sacrificed themselves, God will not forget them. When God comes, He will rise again, and there will be no loss for Him."
At that moment, Xu Ya's withered arm suddenly moved, as if trying to break free from her grasp.
Seeing this, everyone's expression changed. Xu Ya grabbed the arm tightly and said, "Help me! Grab it! It's trying to escape!"
The crowd realized what was happening and rushed to help; it would be too dangerous if the arm escaped.
The arm had escaped from Xu Ya's grasp, but luckily they were close enough that four or five people rushed forward and grabbed it.
They exerted tremendous effort to barely manage to control the situation.
Seeing that they had subdued the arm, Xu Ya immediately said,
"Be careful, don't let go, lest it escape. The rest of you, go to the temple and call for help. We can't destroy this thing with our strength."
"No problem!" The others didn't find the arm particularly strong either; they were perfectly capable of controlling it.
But shortly after they finished speaking, their expressions suddenly changed. They felt that the arm was emitting a powerful suction force, constantly drawing away their strength.
Those people instinctively wanted to let go and escape, but the suction force was too strong. Once they were stuck together, they could never separate and could only let the arm devour their strength.
What's going on?
"Please think of something and save us!"
All eyes were on Xu Ya, because it was Xu Ya who had taken the arm out from the ground.
"This... I don't know what's going on either. I've never encountered this situation before."
Xu Ya hurriedly defended herself.
The crowd withdrew their gazes from Xu Ya; the most important thing now was to help these people get rid of that arm.
But despite trying every possible method, almost losing themselves in the process, they were unable to rescue those people.
Gradually, several people began to scream in agony. As their life force was drained, it also brought them immense suffering.
A few minutes later, those people turned into mummies.
Seeing their appearance, no one dared to approach them.
Although the Lord of the Netherworld's arm is an important tool, given the current situation, anyone who dares to touch it will be sucked dry and turned into a dried corpse.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the arm moved again, emerging from beneath the corpses and floating in the air.
Seeing this, everyone retreated, not daring to go too far, but no one dared to go forward.
"You guys need to think of something quickly!" Xu Ya said hurriedly. "We can't let this arm escape, or we'll be guilty of a heinous crime!"
Now is not the time to be afraid of sacrifice. If we are afraid of sacrifice and dare not step forward, then we are not being loyal to God.
Our God needs your sacrifice!
You cannot back down now.
Hearing Xu Ya's words, everyone understood why she was the only one who survived out of so many people.
Because this woman hides in the back whenever danger arises, and then uses righteous words to morally blackmail others.
A serious accusation has already been made against us; if we dare not step forward now, it would indeed be disloyal to God.
Therefore, someone has to make a sacrifice to restrain that arm.
Besides, they won't actually die.
Soon, many brave warriors stepped forward, ready to sacrifice themselves to deliver the arm into the temple.
At this moment, a man stepped forward and stopped those who were about to step forward.
Those people immediately stopped in their tracks, because the man was a Divine System Ability User and held a very high position among them.
He must have his reasons for doing this.
"Don't touch that arm. It can absorb our life force, and the more it absorbs, the stronger it becomes."
If you insist on touching it, it might have the opposite effect.
His words jolted everyone awake; if that were true, they would have done more harm than good.
This is worse than not being able to help at all.
"So what do we do now?" someone asked.
"Quickly go to the temple and ask those seniors to come out. We can use the formation here to trap this arm, and then..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped. The arm in the air suddenly flew towards him like a beam of light.
Before the man could even react in shock, he swiftly used his ability and instantly appeared in another location.
But before he could catch his breath, the arm teleported right in front of him.
The man suddenly felt an immense pressure; facing this arm, he felt utterly powerless.
That was the arm of a god; even though the god was dead, it was still beyond the reach of a mortal like him.
The man's body teleported away again, but the hand was faster, anticipating his location.
When he appeared in the new place, the hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
A look of terror crossed the man's face; he had absolutely no chance to resist the arm of the deity.
He felt his strength rapidly draining away, as the arm quickly absorbed it.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; the other players only realized what was happening when they heard the man's scream.
The strength of that arm was terrifying.
A Divine System Ability User had no chance to resist this god's arm.
If this continues, I'm afraid they will all die here.
Their deaths are not a big deal, but if because of this, their god cannot descend, and the power of the Lord of the Netherworld regains control of this world.
That would be a very serious problem.
Just then, the temple doors suddenly opened, and the high priest appeared before them, leading a large number of the gods' followers.
"What did you do? Why did you let that arm out!"
