Henry felt a chill run down his spine. Everyone in Grantham recognized the head. He stared at the intact eye for a moment.

A sharp, piercing pain shot through his eyes, and warm liquid trickled from the corners of his eyes. He endured the burning sensation and forced his eyes shut.

He also yelled at Cedric, who had his eyes wide open, "Close your eyes! Stop looking!"

Blood dripped down Cedri's jaw, his blank eyes gradually filled with fervor, and his lips trembled as he said, "I saw...I saw God?"

Still standing on its head, using the longsword in his hand as a shovel to dig out the giant, living eyes, Gu Li casually remarked upon hearing this, "If you mean this metal head?"

Lucy spotted the rest of Team Six among all the white-robed men, frowned, and called out to Gu Li, "Side and Alfoseni aren't here!"

The longsword in Gu Li's hand was fixed in her eye socket by a huge suction force. She tugged hard, and the noisy sounds outside grew closer.

She chuckled softly, then stepped on the statue's eye socket, causing a sickening sound as the metal frame bent under her foot.

The enormous sphere, along with countless nerve fibers and blood vessels, flew out of the statue.

Gu Li used the same trick on the other eyeball.

Two clumps of flesh rolled wildly on the ground, while the metal head lost all life. Gu Li's blood throbbed on the back of his hand, eager to gush out and deliver a fatal blow to the thing.

Gu Li slapped her hand. It had taken her a lot of effort to destroy this thing, and she needed to save her strength to leave this place.

"Do not reward Him."

Gu Li muttered something under his breath.

The bulge on the back of her hand subsided, and she walked over under the intense gazes of Henry and Cedric.

"let's go."

Lucy had already wrapped up the six team members like silkworm cocoons, ready to pack them up and take them away. She looked at the remaining people and hesitated, "What about these people?"

Henry, dangling in mid-air, swayed slightly: "Hey, can you put me down now?"

Gu Li paused, stroked his chin, looked at the eyeballs behind him that stood up from countless thick blood vessels and nerve fibers, and rolled his eyes: "Take them with you, let's get out of here first. The Red Bees shouldn't have time to deal with these things for the time being."

The sight of the Mother Goddess in this grotesque form, coupled with the thought of the swarm of eccentric red bees, brought a wicked smile to Gu Li's face.

Cedric stared intently at the girl in the long black dress with light blonde hair, and unconsciously let out a sigh.

"So fucking beautiful."

Whether it's skill or personality.

Henry thought he had been further corrupted by that stuff, but he never expected that he would be acting crazy towards an officer from an enemy country.

He struggled to deliver a flying kick in mid-air, slamming Cedric against the wall, gritting his teeth: "Are you awake or not? If you are, cut the ropes!"

Cedric swung back from the wall, two streaks of blood running down his nose. Black mist appeared around him, and countless withered fingers tore at the threads on his body.

Lucy was talking to Gu Li: "These people are corrupted. There don't seem to be any Children of Light in Grantham. Taking them out might cause trouble."

She paused halfway through her sentence, then quickly looked back.

Those silver threads that could cut through metal gradually turned a dull, black color under the charred fingers, eventually breaking in the middle.

"He actually managed to destroy my abilities?"

Lucy murmured in surprise.

Gu Li looked in the direction of the sound, his gaze falling on those old, withered fingers, and he seemed to be thinking: "His ability is time?"

Cedric abandoned Henry and jumped down first, a few strands of blond hair popping out of his hood.

"No, time is forbidden. My ability is merely to accelerate the time it takes for both me and the object in the little hand to touch each other."

"By the way, Grantham has a doctor in charge of treatment."

Although the threads secreted by Lucy's jellyfish form are extremely hard, their effects are temporary.

Gu Li nodded in realization, and under the blond man's eager gaze, turned and left: "Then I won't bother you any longer, see you next time."

"I will leave the person at the exit."

Cedric, feeling dejected, wanted to chase after him.

However, a large group of silkworms following them out blocked their way, intentionally or unintentionally.

"But how will we meet again?"

After Gu Li and his companion left, the crowded basement suddenly became empty, with only the sound of Henry struggling above, accompanied by the two eyeballs that walked with their blood vessels and nerves protruding despite their physical disabilities.

"I-said-can-you-put-me-down-first!"

Henry's forehead veins bulged as he helplessly watched the eyeball approaching him: "That thing looks like it's planning to eat me."

Cedric turned around suddenly, grasped the drooping thread, and summoned his little hand again.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just a little curious."

Henry used his core strength to flip backward in mid-air, dodging the crimson vein that was heading straight for his face.

His expression was blank: "You should curb your excessive curiosity. That's a Federation officer."

"What?! She looks so young and she's already an officer!"

Henry landed from the air and walked out without pausing, rolling his eyes.

He'd rather not waste his breath talking to this thing.

Gu Li and Lucy led a large group of people, making their target too obvious. Halfway there, they were overtaken by the pursuing troops.

The group of people all concealed their faces under black robes, and they underwent all sorts of strange changes along the way. Gu Li casually broke off a branch from one of the branches and threw it at the back of the group without looking back.

The black dog with three human heads opened its mouth wide to bite the last silkworm pupa, but suddenly it grabbed the ground with both paws and braked abruptly.

The branch plunged into the ground in front of him with incredible force.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down from the middle of his head; had he been a moment later, the branch would have pierced his skull.

The other two heads opened their mouths and started criticizing: "Can you even do it? If not, let me do it!"

The first man in black robes to rush over from behind stomped his foot on the head of the man who was still yelling: "Quiet down, where is everyone?!"

The three-headed dog shakily stretched out a paw and pointed in a direction.

The man smirked, revealing sharp canine teeth, his messy curly hair swaying in the air, while the curly-haired dog grinned menacingly.

"The chestnut—it's finally going to fall into my hands."

His figure vanished instantly.

The three-headed dog, trembling on the ground, slowly raised its head. The middle-aged man on the left sneered, "Just a stray dog ​​from the Federation, yet it dares to be so arrogant!"

The young man on the right grinned and said, "Run! Who can outrun him?"

The square-faced man in the middle looked up, his face covered in dust, and forced a smile: "You gave him the wrong location. Don't drag me down with you later."
