Five minutes later.
Behind the defensive lines of the Jashin Cult's Greed-Gluttony branch sect's main force.
Two figures were fleeing together in extreme disarray.
Without a doubt.
They were none other than the two gods, [Greed] and [Gluttony].
At this moment.
One of them was covered in wounds, his aura severely weakened.
The other had lost half his body and could not even regenerate or heal himself.
In just a few minutes.
The two of them had suffered unimaginably devastating blows, nearly losing their lives...
It was simply absurd!
"Is he still chasing us?"
"No! He didn't follow!"
"Looks like what he said was true. He only wanted to hold us back..."
Even after escaping with their lives, the two were still gripped by lingering terror.
Only after confirming that Natsume was not pursuing them.
Did they finally let out a reluctant breath of relief...
Then.
They began cursing in panic, still shaken by the aftermath:
"Damn it!"
"What kind of monster was that?"
"How could that Otsutsuki elder be such a freak?"
"He actually wielded three authorities!"
"That guy isn't any weaker than [Pride]!"
"No wonder he was able to kill [Envy]..."
"Is that the important part?"
"The important part is that he wielded the [Authority of Life]! And he could forcibly devour my life force—he was practically just like my lord!"
"Look at my lower body. He only stuck it in for less than a few seconds..."
"And he sucked me dry into this state!"
"How long will it take to replenish all that lost life essence?"
"Even if I kept stuffing myself for another hundred years, I might not be able to recover it all!"
[Gluttony] wailed miserably, on the verge of tears.
He felt that.
Before that Otsutsuki demigod, they were the lambs awaiting slaughter!
And
