"Damn it. With our strength, we could've handled a Disobedient God. We were too cautious! Who knows when we'll get another chance like this!"
Jiaren slammed his fist into the ground, his face dark.
He then turned to the veteran on the mental side who had projected the image earlier and said,
"You saved the footage of the Seventh God Slayer, right? Something's strange. I can't seem to remember what he looked like."
But before he had even finished speaking, the Veteran Intruder's expression changed. He raised a hand and summoned another curved projection, replaying the earlier scene.
Yet this time, the faces of the two figures confronting each other in the memory recording were completely blurred, impossible to make out!
"How is this possible? They interfered with our memories so we can't remember their faces!"
"No, it's not just their faces. What's happening?!"
As the footage played, the two blurry figures in the memory seemed to glance in their direction. Then the image completely collapsed.
The Veteran Intruder suddenly clutched his head and screamed. Blood poured from his seven orifices as he fell unconscious to the ground.
Even his life force became faint and uncertain.
Everyone nearby felt their scalps tingle, unable to understand what had happened.
"Th-this... could this be Mecal's Authority? Or the Seventh God Slayer's Authority? That's terrifying!"
Jiaren felt his heartbeat quicken as well.
It wasn't that they hadn't considered the possibility that their opponent was powerful.
But that kind of power was already beyond the limits of their understanding. Besides, there had been people before who had seized the Authorities of Disobedient Gods. Some had even defeated more of them!
It was a powerful force, but not one that could not be opposed.
"No wonder the Seventh God Slayer has always been so mysterious."
