The eyes of the [Ground] finally closed completely, quietly awaiting death.
One second, two seconds...
The expected result of slowly fading consciousness and eventual death did not occur; instead, my consciousness became increasingly clear.
He opened his eyes in surprise, and when he looked up, he saw Hela sprinkling a blue powder on his head.
As Hela rubbed the last bit of powder on the [Ground] and her head twice, her body, which had been half-disappeared, began to recover at a visible speed.
The horrifying wound healed at an alarming rate, as if time itself had accelerated, and soon a brand new arm was back on the body on the [Ground].
Clenching his newly healed right fist, [Ground] realized that it had only healed his injuries, preventing him from dying.
His physical condition is still extremely poor; he won't recover without several days of rest.
"You..."
[Ground] seemed to realize something and smiled knowingly, "That's right, the Light God Society doesn't want my corpse. It seems you're really determined to help the Light God Society."
"I guess so. After all, I happen to have something that can save your life. If I didn't, I wouldn't really mind if you died."
[Ground] There was no resistance, nor did he stand up; he simply put his hands behind his back and waited for Hela to control him.
He reached inside her body and pulled out an iron chain from Hela's body, quickly binding her into a [Ground] and hoisting her onto his shoulder.
He didn't put up a single resistance on [Ground] ground throughout the entire process, because he knew he had already lost, and the loser didn't deserve to resist.
"Let's go, Aidan."
"Oh, okay..." Aidan nodded blankly, "By the way... Boss, you 'Light God Society?"
"It's just a collaboration, to fulfill the meaning of my birth."
"Oh..."
Just as Aidan was deep in thought, a space nearby suddenly began to spiral and twist.
The next moment, the brothers Lin Wushuang and Ye Yiqing appeared before them with anxious expressions.
" [Ground] I'm here! Damn it! Onii-chan, merge already!"
Ye Ciqing, holding Ye Yiqing's wrist with one hand, looked around with sweat dripping down his face, finally fixing his gaze on Hela and the others.
"Hey, where's Hela [Ground]? She ran away... tear..."
When they saw Hela carrying that lump of steel "zongzi" on her shoulder, the three people who had been looking anxious all fell silent.
Ye Ciqing, with a sly grin, circled around to Hela's front and squinted at her face on the [Ground].
[Ground] The head that had been hanging down suddenly lifted up, and the authoritative eyes glared at him fiercely.
"Holy crap!"
The latter couldn't help but gasp in surprise, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"This... this... this... this... I... this... ah?"
"You caught him?" Lin Wushuang asked, equally surprised and speechless.
Ye Yiqing stepped forward and, after sensing the rock-solid aura emanating from the [Ground], confirmed the other party's identity.
"It is indeed [Ground], Hela, thank you for your hard work." He gave Hela a gentle smile, like that of a friendly older brother.
Hela completely ignored him.
After realizing what had happened, the other two were instantly filled with immense joy, and Lin Wushuang couldn't help but praise them:
"Wow, you're amazing! We were originally planning to use all of the Light God Society's top-tier combat forces, but you took them down by yourself!"
"Hmm... it wasn't just me who defeated them; my underlings were also included."
He then pointed to the bewildered Aidan beside him.
The three men's gazes immediately fell on Aidan, causing him to involuntarily shrink back, his palms becoming damp with sweat.
Ye Ciqing watched as Aidan's eyes slowly narrowed, and he moved closer.
"Hey bro, you look so familiar... haven't we met somewhere before...?"
"Brother, doesn't he look familiar?"
"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."
Ye Yiqing also touched his chin, feeling that Aidan looked very familiar.
"I..." Aidan's face turned bright red as she faced Ye Ciqing, who was practically pressed against hers.
He had absolutely no recollection of the two ruthless brothers in front of him.
Faced with Ye Ciqing's relentless questioning, Aidan became even more nervous and unable to utter a single word; at this moment, his social anxiety reached its peak.
"I..."
"Alright, little brother, let's not dwell on it. Maybe we just happened to see it by chance before."
Ye Yiqing's words were like a lifeline, pulling Aidan out of her dire straits.
"Oh, okay..."
Ye Ciqing pursed his lips and distanced himself from Aidan.
"Phew..." Aidan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at Ye Yiqing, "Thank you..."
But the moment he met Ye Yiqing's eyes, he froze on the spot, his pupils suddenly contracted and trembled violently.
Beneath those gentle eyes, one red and one black, Aidan seemed to see... a hell!
Despair, pain, grief, hatred, murderous intent... countless negative emotions screamed and reveled like hideous demons beneath those eyes!
Moreover, Aidan could sense that this was a long-term emotion, rather than a short-term feeling.
He can guarantee that if any other person had such emotions, they would be at least ten people with severe depression and schizophrenia!
How can a human being live with so many negative emotions and hide them so well!
He didn't dare linger for a moment, quickly averting his gaze from those terrifying eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the other person's unusual behavior, Ye Yiqing spoke with gentle concern.
"No, no, it's nothing..."
"Alright, where do we take [Ground] next?"
Hela shook the [Ground], which was already looking utterly hopeless, and moved closer to Lin Wushuang.
"Oh, the Lord says it needs to be sent to the [Ocean], after all, only there can the [Ground] be completely trapped."
"Okay, let's go then."
" Aidan, you come too."
"Okay, boss!"
Aidan hurriedly ran over, and as Lin Wushuang slowly exerted force with both hands, the space enveloping the three of them began to distort.
"Well, you two stay here and explain things to the people who'll be here later."
"Why bother having me bring my phone? Just have [X] relay the message."
Ye Ciqing held his phone, looking at Lin Wushuang with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?"
"Oh dear, I can't take that many people. You two go back by yourselves, I'll go first."
After saying that, he twisted the space and disappeared from the spot.
"Hey, this guy is really something! Ever since he got along better with his mom, he's gotten so arrogant!"
Recalling the scene of Lin Wushuang shopping with his mother a few days ago, Ye Ciqing gritted his teeth.
