"God... God!!!"

With his fanatical roar, the last trace of life dissipated completely.

The senior commander fell stiffly to the ground. Even in death, his eyes remained devoutly and feverishly fixed on Bai Ye.

The commanders' faces darkened. Though they said nothing aloud, they felt some blame and even resentment
