"Nothing." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Don't you want to enter the time maze? Please come in."

No. 22 stared at him for a moment, then took a step forward and walked towards the entrance of the time maze, followed by everyone else.

He came to the moonlight river. The bright halo made the huge and disgusting stitched body extremely clear. At the chest of the female corpse, a cruel look appeared in No. 22's eyes.

"You may be Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, but you are still alone here.

If you want to be a yellow bird, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so..."

As soon as he finished speaking, No. 22 stepped into the moonlight, sank into the river and disappeared. The people behind him also sank into it, and soon the whole ice field fell into deathly silence.

Lin Qiye was wearing a crimson cloak and standing alone in front of the entrance to the maze, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"You'll know soon whether you have the ability or not."

…

Time maze.

"Holy Lord, are we really not leaving?"

In front of a gray river, everyone gathered on the shore, and Ju Biro asked cautiously.

No. 22's eyes were fixed on the reflection of the moonlight on the river, like a patient hunter, waiting for his prey to appear...

"Why leave?" No. 22 sneered, "No matter how powerful he is, he is not at the highest level, and he is alone. As long as we ambush him in advance, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die... If he wants us to be his pawns, he must be prepared to be killed by us.

Back then, he was better than me in the [King's Treasury], but now, the situation is different..."

No. 22 grabbed the [King's Scepter] on his chest with one hand and thrust it downward with force. The bottom of the heavy scepter pierced through his body and fell heavily to the ground!

Boom——!

Golden ripples swept across the earth again, and dense golden torrents floated out from everyone and all flowed into No. 22's body.

Even though their divine power was drained away once again, the crowd had no objection at all, as if they were already used to this kind of plunder. They were too lazy to fight anyway. After all, as long as they provided divine power to the Holy Lord, he would naturally eliminate the enemy.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of "power banks" available for No. 22 to use at any time. They can enjoy the victory just by standing aside, so why not?

After integrating the power of more than ten gods again, No. 22's aura reached a terrifying level. He held the [Sword of the King] in his hand and stared intently at the moonlight on the river.

Judging from the time, Lin Qiye should be here soon.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…one minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

No. 22 put all his energy into it and just stood by the river for ten minutes, but there was still no sign of Lin Qiye appearing!

All the divine power that had been gathered had been forced to dissipate, and No. 22's aura suddenly became like a deflated ball, returning to its original state... His aura dissipated, but he was still very angry.

"Damn it..." No. 22 gritted his teeth and said.

Why hasn't he shown up yet?

Did he see through his intentions? Or was this time maze not his goal at all?

Impossible... Even this maze was secretly led by him to find it. He must have thought that they were the ones who would clear the way for him. If that was the case, there was no way he wouldn't come in.

He probably saw through my intentions and kept me hanging outside on purpose.

No. 22's brain worked rapidly and he came to a conclusion soon. He sneered and activated the [Scepter of the King] again to plunder the power of the gods.

He wanted to use this method to force me to give up the ambush and walk into the maze for him. If I lost my patience and walked into the maze on my own initiative, I would still fall into his trap... But No. 22 has always prided himself on being an extremely patient hunter, and the thing he has the most is patience.

As time goes by, the power of the gods is plundered by No. 22 again and again, and is forcibly reset again and again. After each time limit has expired, No. 22 will immediately activate the [Scepter of the King]. He must keep himself in peak condition at all times to be sure of inflicting a heavy blow on Lin Qiye.

No. 22 had enough patience, but the others did not... They just waited by the river, watching No. 22 draining his divine power again and again, feeling extremely bored!

Just when everyone started to yawn, a deep red afterimage suddenly flashed through the moonlight!

No. 22’s eyes suddenly froze!

Without any hesitation, he swung the [Sword of the King] in his hand fiercely towards the river!

boom--!!

The surging divine power poured into the sword light, instantly cutting the river in half from the center. The rolling aftermath of the divine power surged toward the sky, illuminating a corner of the dim sky!

This attack directly woke up the other members of [God's Desire Heaven]. They looked at the surging tide of divine power in astonishment. Among the flying dust, a crimson cloak was rolling wildly in the air with the hurricane!

No. 22 was holding a sword in his hand, and his heart sank suddenly when he saw this scene!

Yes, it's just a cape...

Almost at the same time, No. 22 had reacted. He clenched the [Sword of the King] like lightning and slashed behind him. A figure appeared in the void, and a golden sword light that was even more terrifying than the one he had just slashed down!

[The Sword of the King] intertwined with the sword of Ame-no-Kume. The surging divine power directly blasted a circle in the air. The figure of No. 22 was shaken down from the sky like a meteor and crashed back into the earth!

Boom——!!!

The earth shook and dust rose up into the sky.

Under the dim moonlight, Lin Qiye, wearing a black combat uniform, held the [Zhanbai] in one hand and the Ame-no-Kume sword in the other, calmly looking down at the people below, and six wings that covered the sky and the sun slowly opened from behind...

"Your patience is extraordinary. I have delayed for such a long time, and you are still lying in ambush here." Lin Qiye said slowly, "Fortunately, I am also prepared."

Although Lin Qiye had only fought with No. 22 once, the opponent's forbearance and ruthlessness left a deep impression on him. If it were any other normal person, who would wait for him here for several hours?

Therefore, before entering the maze, Lin Qiye was still careful. He sent his cloak into the moonlight first, and then he escaped into the void and followed in. It was because of this that he directly avoided the strongest attack of No. 22.

No. 22's bloated body stood up from the ruins. He looked at the six-winged figure in the sky, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

His ambush failed.

Just as he was about to say something, a golden field opened up from under the feet of the six-winged figure!

The blazing divine power poured into the sword of Ame no Murasakibara, like a sun on the verge of exploding at any moment. The might of the Seraph was suppressing everyone's heart, and the bodies of several relatively weaker lesser gods could not help shaking.

In the sky, Lin Qiye's momentum had reached its peak. He stared at the people below with murderous eyes and spoke lightly:

"Do you want to escape in while I'm chasing you... or go in on your own?"
