• The center-parted Mad Guard retreated with the other Mad Guards and joked that Holy Angel might survive, while another threatened to urge a full-scale attack on the Titan Building if she died.

The Sky Titan rescued the Holy Angel and destroyed the meteors, but crimson lightning struck him down before he could investigate the Mad King Building. Afterward, Li Shuwen led Clear Spring Pavilion toward the open area to ambush Titan Building Players.

The Forest Titan and a giantess traced the penalties to the Titan Building actively projecting the Eye’s power and went to consult the All-Knowing Spring for a solution.
