"Either way, we die—whether we stay here or draw the four World Pillars over."
"Whichever way of dying you all think is better, just pick that one..."
After saying this, the black serpent head shut its mouth and calmly watched the gods, quietly awaiting their response.
At this moment, it seemed to be nothing more than an uninvolved observer, utterly unaffected by Eternal Night.
The gods remained silent for a long while.
In the end, the one closest to the holy orb of light was the first to lose patience and spoke up:
"Since we'll die either way, we might as well take a gamble!"
"I refuse to believe that Eternal Night, having only just advanced to become a World Pillar, can take on four other old monsters alone!"
Earth battlefield.
"Three o'clock! Evade!!"
"Shadow Rakshasa is coming—move!"
"Fuck! We can't escape anyway, so I'm taking you down with me!!"
The Eclipsing Light Imperial Guard member being pursued by the crimson blood shadow drew out three [Thorn Blood Talismans] and pressed them to his chest. He discarded the longsword in his hand, then abruptly turned back, attempting to perish together with Li Luo.
Yet the instant he turned around, his view was blocked by a suddenly appearing portal.
A heavily armored figure charged out from within, with a bright green helmet perched atop his head.
"Just fucking do it! Let's go!!!"
The brave yet slightly comical battle cry instantly filled that small stretch of the battlefield.
Before the Eclipsing Light Imperial Guard member could activate the Thorn Blood Talismans, he stared blankly as the green helmet slammed into the rapidly pursuing blood shadow, brutally intercepting it.
Countless threads formed from spiritual power suddenly burst forth, piercing through the obstruction of black mist as they rushed to stab Li Luo.
