【Hecate】landed gracefully, and the yellow sand that was flying all over the sky instantly floated to the ground.
The soldiers' vision began to clear, and they realized that they had been captured and abandoned.
The Heroes, Vali, and Hecate all rushed over, examining the group of divine weapons chained together.
"What a pity, those old rascals got away."
"They run really fast!"
[Hecate] doesn't seem that disappointed in her expression.
"As expected, it would be strange if they caught those stubborn old men."
The group of divine soldiers, bound by chains, were now trembling, their eyes filled with terror and confusion.
The memory of those few minutes felt like it had been stolen from them by time.
Chapter 154: The Far North Returns to Tranquility.
"What's the use of capturing these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Cao Cao rushed over and, seeing that the person bound by chains was just one of Zhu's men, he said dejectedly.
Of course, these divine soldiers were unwilling to submit to such comments, but now they were under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow their heads, and extreme fear left them trembling.
They could see that Cao Cao was staring at them, his eyes filled with anger.
After all, they wanted to capture their leader, but instead they captured a group of followers.
This would be something that would make anyone furious, no matter who it happened to.
After planning for so long and going through so many rounds, they still only managed to catch a few minor flaws.
Hecate, however, disagreed.
"Alright, isn't our goal to protect this seal anyway?"
"It would be best if we could catch them, but if we could repel them, we would consider the mission accomplished."
[Vali's team] is playing a game of smoothing things over in the middle.
"Yes, Hecate is right. Since they can't break in, our mission is successfully completed."
"Don't be fooled by their arrogance. Once the Azure Emperor emerges, he will have a way to deal with them."
With each word of comfort spoken, Cao Cao's urgent anger gradually subsided.
Otherwise, this anger might very well be directed at these newly captured divine weapons.
The Heroic Faction, the Vali Team, and Hecate never considered these divine weapons as tools for showing off or as prisoners they had captured.
It's just a matter of arresting them to annoy the gods.
"Alright, look at you cowards. We don't eat people."
This statement would be quite credible in other contexts as well.
But this is the "Other Shore," a place where demons, monsters, humans, gods, and ghouls coexist. Do you know that this is not something that can be easily convinced with just a few words?
Bound by chains, these divine soldiers are now unable to make any small movements.
Like a deflated balloon, it was just moments ago so proud and spirited, but now it looks as forlorn as a stray dog.
Cao Cao sighed, regretting that he shouldn't have been so timid just now; he should have just gone straight for the opponent's weak point.
Of course, this was just him muttering to himself with his head down.
He only expressed regret about his inconsistent performance, without saying that he would necessarily get stuck on it or dwell on it.
After sighing to himself, he immediately checked the seal over the entire far north and quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
In an instant, all traces of the recent battle were erased.
It's as if nothing ever happened here.
"Now let's just wait for the Azure Emperor to come out quickly."
They fought fiercely outside, but for a moment they forgot about the most dangerous person inside.
"Yes, I wonder how the Azure Emperor is doing."
"We can't help with that. We don't have the ability. We're willing but unable to help."
"I would like to help carry it, but I'm afraid I'll just be turned to ashes if I go in."
"Don't even mention you, we'd all be buried with you if we went in together."
It's unclear whose joke it was, but it lightened the atmosphere, and many people burst into laughter.
But beneath that laughter lay countless hearts filled with genuine concern for Kanzaki Teru.
They couldn't comprehend the dangers inside, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
·· ···Request flowers······
It was many times better than the fight they had just had.
But they all seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them said anything bad.
They simply waited quietly, with complete trust.
The entire far north returned to its former tranquility.
Those who came after never imagined that today's tranquility was merely a harbinger of an impending storm.
This is also the last moment of harmony in the entire [Other Shore], and even in the entire other world.
....... .. ...
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.
Who could have imagined that Kanzaki Teru, who broke through and advanced in the far north, would bring with him an energy that could penetrate all worlds—an energy they could not even comprehend?
Everyone underestimated Kanzaki Hikaru's abilities, even though he was already powerful enough.
As your gaze passes through the seal that covers the entire far north, the hustle and bustle within seems to quiet down.
Unlike before, when the wind was suddenly cold and biting, making onlookers only want to retreat.
【Beast King 666】was already showing signs of exhaustion; it had absorbed far too much backlash…
Kanzaki Teru is still being transported through time and space, suffering greatly while simultaneously expending his own energy to buy time.
Kanzaki Hikaru's body twitched, and with his remaining will in the far north, he controlled his body to fall into a meditative posture, landing next to [Beast Emperor 666].
The World Foundation also seemed to sense this and moved closer.
Within the void of time—
Kanzaki Teru's vision suddenly went completely white, and the intense spatial and temporal shock vanished in that instant.
His body took advantage of this moment to rapidly heal his wounds.
Chapter 155: Hui, Finally Crossing Time and Space
The bloodstains on his body disappeared quickly, and the recently rotten flesh gradually became fresh again.
All the cuts quickly burrowed inside, and the skin returned to its original, intact state.
It's not the bloodied and mangled Hikaru Kanzaki anymore.
After wandering through the void for so long, Kanzaki Teru has finally succeeded in traversing the time tunnel.
He sensed everything around him and slowly twitched his ears.
Only after making sure there was nothing dangerous around him did he lower his guard and begin to observe his surroundings.
Kanzaki Teru's eyes were still slightly blurry from the sudden burst of white light.
However, he quickly recovered, and what came into view was not the space-time he had imagined, but a real scene.
This might be a place he's been to before, since the entire timeline is meant to take him back to the past and then through to the future.
Unfortunately, Kanzaki Teru had absolutely no recollection of this scene.
"Is this really the past I experienced?"
Alone, Kanzaki Teru could only express these doubts by talking to himself.
Everything about Kanzaki Teru was completely unfamiliar to him.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the entire ecosystem here is extremely pristine.
The original trees were enormous, the lawns were lush, and the shrubs were vigorous in several phases.
But it seems that there are only plants here, and no other animals live here.
This inevitably brings to mind the very beginning of Earth's state.
Aside from single-celled organisms, plants reproduce the fastest. Could it be...?
Kanzaki Teru suddenly realized that this travel between the past and the future was not based on him as the unit of time.
He has now arrived at the oldest, most primitive Earth.
At this time, no living organisms were born; there was only endless symbiosis between vegetation and single-celled organisms.
Before Kanzaki Teru could even properly explore this enormous, tropical rainforest-like forest, he was already eager to begin.
The entire spacetime began to rotate and reverse again, and Kanzaki Teru fell into the spacetime vortex once more.
However, Kanzaki Teru, who had already traveled through the time tunnel, did not have much worry or fear.
He knew that the present was merely a fleeting glimpse into the past and the future.
He is confident that he can handle other dangers as well.
There are no more places that make you feel uncomfortable like you're being squeezed in time and space.
All the energy backlash has long since stopped.
【Beast King 666】has already absorbed all the previous counter-types and has now become quiet, beginning a new round of slumber in the silent far north.
The World Foundation has already obediently returned to Kanzaki Hikaru, and the two of them can now be considered to have achieved their goal.
Just when Kanzaki Teru thought the next scene was waiting for him, all the scenes flashed rapidly in front of him, as if they didn't stop for him to stop and observe.
In that instant, he seemed to see from the beginning of the universe the unpredictable future that lay ahead.
