A golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
Layer upon layer of shockwaves rippled across the frozen soil. The ground, already scorched black, now completely collapsed, with only a thin layer of bone holding the Frozen Soil Continent together.
At the bottom of the temple.
The Matchstick Man, resembling a member of the Razor Gang, was about to carry out the final execution of the Empress.
Just as the match was about to fall into her mouth, a violent tremor knocked it aside, sending it toward an open patch of ground... The Matchstick Man knew full well that this land could no longer withstand any large-scale explosions, so he grabbed the burning match and forcibly pinched it out.
Cough, cough, cough~
Black smoke billowed from his mouth amid his coughing.
"What is that guy doing? How did he cause such a huge commotion?"
On the surface.
A golden figure rapidly broke free and landed at the edge of a crater a thousand meters wide.
At the bottom of the crater.
An arm wrapped in golden trim lay on the ground.
Having been severed from its main body, the golden trim gradually faded as the entire arm was slowly stained black... until it completely merged into the Black Land, becoming nourishment for Han Dong's energy.
Eugenis, whose neck had nearly been torn apart, twitched on the ground.
The Black Meat Mountain covering his entire body was also in a battered, ruined state.
Even so.
Eugenis still gritted his teeth and forcibly pushed himself up from the ground.
Neither Pope nor Han Dong looked pleased.
That opportunity just now had been bought with Eugenis's life on the line. Getting another chance like it would be almost impossible, and the same kind of surprise attack would be unlikely to work
