"Hand over Eliduo!"
Despite their rage, the Water Mirror Race remained calm. Seeing that their attacks were ineffective against Gustavo, they decisively shifted their target.
Led by Nervado of the Silver Mirror Abyss, they launched a fierce attack on the Thousand-Eyed Race, attempting to reclaim Eliduo.
"A swift and decisive attack might allow us to retrieve Eliduo. Eliduo is sealed by my Mirror Light; no one but our Water Mirror Race can store her in a spatial device. She can only be carried with us. The Thousand-Eyed Race won't be able to solve this problem anytime soon."
Nervado, the Silver Mirror Abyss, calmly transmitted his voice to the other three members of his clan. His words also invigorated the three Lower God of the Water Mirror Race, and their morale immediately rose significantly. In fact, due to the anger that filled their hearts, their fighting style became even more violent. They did not hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries, and their attacks were as fierce as a Gale.
The Thousand-Eyed Race was already no match for the Water Mirror Race, and now with Eliduo as a burden, they were even less of a match for the latter, complaining bitterly.
Octavian Scorching One wanted to lead his people away, but the Thousand-Eyed Race excelled in attack, while their talent in movement was average. Facing the Water Mirror Race, who possessed considerable spatial abilities, they had no chance of escaping.
At that moment, a Strange Light Bearer black light flashed in Theseus's eyes. His thoughts seemed to veer off course for a split second, and he transmitted his voice, "Why don't we ask that mysterious person for help? Since he was able to snatch Eliduo, he must be quite powerful. At the very least, he can help us escape the Water Mirror Race's entanglement and leave the Planet Illinois."
"Ask the mysterious man for help?" Octavian the World-Burning frowned. "It's not impossible, but his identity..."
"Oh, what's the big deal? They handed Eliduo over to us for free, which shows they have a deep connection with our Thousand-Eyed Race. Maybe she was even saved by an ancestor of the Thousand-Eyed Race? Otherwise, who would be so bored as to risk offending the Dead Water Mirror Race to help us snatch someone?"
Theseus Strange Light Bearer's words resonated with all the other Thousand-Eyed Race True God, including Octavian, and they found them quite reasonable, unable to find any grounds for rebuttal.
Octavian then raised his head and shouted, "Please lend us your assistance once again to help us escape the entanglement of the Water Mirror Race. Upon success, our Thousand-Eyed Race will offer a generous reward!"
The words echoed in the sky above the ruins. Upon hearing this, the True God of the Water Mirror Race all changed their expressions, becoming vigilant and intensifying their offensive.
On the other side, after Octavian called out, Gustavo did not respond immediately.
Deep within the dimensional realm, Gustavo toyed with the newly acquired Lower Divine Artifact, thinking to himself, "Wait a little longer. Only when the opponent's need is strongest can I create the thickest and most robust causal lines..."
Things that are too easily obtained are not valued.
Similarly, cause and effect do not originate from nothingness; they sprout from matter and spirit, and grow strong by absorbing nutrients from both.
With his recent continuous application of the Divine Law of Cause and Effect, Gustavo has gained many insights. Theory is no substitute for practice; some things can never be understood without experience.
Meanwhile, Octavian, who had expected a response, looked at the empty sky and his expression changed slightly.
"What's going on? There's no response!"
"Could we be wrong? Is there no deep connection between that mysterious person and the tribe?"
"Could it be that the mysterious person has already left? Are we shouting at thin air?"
The three True God of the Thousand-Eyed Race were extremely surprised and somewhat panicked. Without outside help, they would most likely lose their hold on Eliduo.
Only Theseus, the Strange Light Bearer, seemed quite confident, and quickly transmitted his voice, saying, "Perhaps that mysterious person is also weighing his options. Don't rush, just ask a few more times. How can you get someone involved in such an incredibly fierce battle of True God without some sincerity?"
"Theseus is right!" Octavian the World-Burning nodded hastily. "We must not give up. We must bring Eliduo back. She is related to the whereabouts of a ' Divine Path Configuration,' and whether our race can become a higher Astral Realm civilization is of paramount importance!"
"Divine Path Configuration..."
The three Lower God remained silent for a moment, then said in deep voices, "Understood. For the sake of our race, we will do everything in our power!"
Despite having many minor flaws typical of the evil faction, the Thousand-Eyed Race's development to the level of a mid-level Astral Realm civilization suggests they were not a disorganized bunch. Once a strong sense of tribal honor surged within them, even a high-ranking True God would have the courage to abandon everything and die for their civilization.
Subsequently, while leading his companions to resist the Berserk attack of the Water Mirror Race, Octavian continued to call for Gustavo's help, his attitude becoming more and more sincere each time. In the end, he even offered a price that would make a mid-level Astral Realm civilization feel the pinch.
During this process, the Water Mirror Race's attacks became increasingly violent, showing a strong momentum to crush the Thousand-Eyed Race in one fell swoop. Several True God acted like madmen, much like honest people who had been thoroughly enraged.
"It's time! If we don't act now, the Thousand-Eyed Race will be defeated!"
Gustavo's eyes narrowed, and he chose to make another move.
Divine Power surged within him, Divine Law shone brightly: the "Infinity Proliferation" of the Crimson Mother Nest Lilithus and the "Radiation Decay" of the Source of Heat Death Behemoth.
When these two Divine Law combine, along with Gustavo's skillful use of spatial abilities, flesh spores suddenly emerge from somewhere, spreading rapidly and enveloping the area surrounded by the electromagnetic field.
From the outside, the originally blue energy sphere had turned scarlet, with countless arcs of electricity crackling and leaping. A terrifying amount of energy was being drawn out through the electromagnetic generator, and in an instant, the energy supply of half of Planet Illinois came to a standstill, plunging half the planet into darkness.
The flesh spores, having absorbed so much energy, exploded under Gustavo's control. Countless energy streams, surprisingly, did not scatter during this process. Instead, they intertwined and combined like steel bars, transforming into sharp and sturdy spears that pierced and killed Unbreakable Crystal Oath Alcard in mid-air!
As the flower of flesh and blood bloomed, surrounded by crimson blossoms, Gustavo calmly stepped forward, casually grabbing Alcard, whose soul had been pierced and whose aura was rapidly declining. He looked at the Thousand-Eyed Race True God and smiled, "My help won't come cheap."
