What?!
At those words, every Evil God's expression changed drastically. Destroying humanity was equivalent to destroying the entire world?!
In the past, destroying a world had been nothing much; at worst, they could simply build another one. But now the Evil God Universe stood at the brink of destruction, and it could not afford the slightest loss.
If they lost tens of thousands of worlds, it would likely trigger a chain reaction and hasten the collapse of the Evil God Universe. When that time came, every last Evil God would die.
"What a vicious Lord of the Furnace. Now I understand that bastard's scheme. He doesn't merely want to destroy our believers—he's using these humans as hostages, forcing us to keep our hands off them."
An Evil God gnashed its teeth. "If we slaughter too many humans, the whole world will collapse, which will then cause the universe to collapse, and we Evil Gods will be finished. That bastard wants to scheme us to death."
In an instant, it understood the gravity of the matter.
Not only could these humans not be killed, they had to be protected. Otherwise, if too many humans died, the entire world would be engulfed by such furnace fire and burned to ashes.
The Evil Gods were incomparably stifled. Since when had Evil Gods become babysitters? These humans were nothing but food, yet they actually had to act to preserve their lives. What kind of joke was this?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became.
"Wait, where are the souls? Where did the souls of these humans go?"
At that moment, an Evil God could not help crying out. It discovered that it could not sense the souls of those dead humans anywhere, as though they had vanished without a trace.
