"Don't rush. Chthon is, after all, a key figure on our side. We still need to wait."
Set smiled. "Rest assured, I said I'd get you out, and nothing will go wrong."
After a pause, Set added, "As for you, Black Dragon, you don't need to worry either. I'll secretly free you from the glue's control, but don't let it show. Keep pretending to be trapped there.
"If you regain your freedom, Chthon will definitely send you over to tie Kara down so he can escape. On one hand, that will delay matters and make things more complicated.
"If we could win, delaying things a little wouldn't matter. But we all know we definitely can't win. Chthon is bound to lose, so there's no need to make things more troublesome.
"On the other hand, fighting Kara will affect our escape plan. In a head-on battle, getting away is definitely harder than lying low nearby and slipping away whenever the chance arises."
"No problem, Set. You're absolutely right."
Black Dragon nodded repeatedly. "I have no interest in helping Chthon fight. Secretly free me from the glue's control, and then I'll focus all my efforts on preparing to run."
"Smart boy."
Set nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, Iron Great Tree shouted, "Then what about me? I'm fighting Barbara, and I'm one of the main forces."
"Don't worry. I said that when the time comes, I'll sacrifice myself to protect your escape."
Set said, "Besides, we have Death on our side. He is currently controlling the believers through consciousness. I'll talk to him later. He definitely won't mind sacrificing himself to protect you."
"That's good."
Iron Great Tree and the others breathed a sigh of relief. With Set's help and Boss secretly protecting them, there definitely wouldn't be any problems this time.
