The gap in methods had become the source of Naimus's advantage.
Having blocked the Mokanias' surprise attack, Naimus waved his hand, and every piece of land and every rule within the Shattered Land began to combine with one another.
Then, swords took flight through the sky.
As they flowed onward, the swords shot forth.
Because they were too fast, every sword became a streak of light.
Beneath those streaks, large numbers of Mokanias began to shatter.
More sword-light streamed toward Vislav and the Hidden Saint.
Everyone else was insignificant and could be dealt with afterward.
Once these people escaped, the matter of Naimus possessing Divinity could no longer be hidden from The Church's upper ranks.
And because of The Church's internal structure, the news would certainly leak as well.
But this was never intelligence that could be concealed for long.
The God of Precepts would awaken sooner or later, and the information it could transmit would only increase.
Under such circumstances, the trouble brought by leaked information would find him eventually.
If it leaked now, Naimus would merely lose some time to develop.
But if he did not eliminate these two Saints now, then the moment the God of Precepts awakened, it could use the causal ties from this period to interfere with historical possibilities.
Only if the Saints died would the causal connection between them and the God of Precepts suffer a break.
Only such a break could leave Naimus more room.
This was also why Naimus had painstakingly sought to keep the two Saints here.
And after touching upon historical possibilities himself, he had essentially confirmed it.
If he failed to keep these two people here today, then when the God of Precepts awakened in the future—
The God of Precepts would only need to complete its interference
