Sno reappeared beneath the heavens, but the sky that should have been illuminated by the True Creator had once again sunk into darkness. Numerous divine powers intertwined within the astral world between the firmament and the universe. Terrifying forces swept across the earth wave after wave, only to be intercepted and erased by the True Creator's power.
Above the firmament, maddening gazes peered through the barrier, watching everything happening on this planet. However, Sno keenly noticed that the instant his body condensed, one gaze silently withdrew.
At the same time, Sno discovered a memory node that was moving away from Earth and could serve as a springboard.
"Looks like I came a little late?" Sno gained some understanding of that furtively departing gaze and grinned at the True Creator, who was neutralizing the aftermath of the gods' clash.
Though he said that, it did not actually take much effort. Upon seeing Sno appear, the True Creator immediately tossed him a mottled cross completely wrapped in chaotic radiance and a rusty-red Broken Blade before speaking:
"Not late. More precisely, you were even faster than I expected. In fact, if you'd arrived five minutes earlier, I would've had to ask you to wait, since this thing was more dangerous than I imagined..."
As he spoke, the True Creator cast a lingering, fearful glance at the cross in Sno's hand before finally asking:
"Are you sure you can handle this thing?"
"You don't need to worry about that. After all, the Chained God has already reincarnated. At worst, we can do it again. Hmm, how about trading Mother Tree of Desire to her?"
A teasing smile hung on Sno's lips. Seeing this, the True Creator relaxed as well. He had not said so much because he thought Sno could not control the thing,
