When the wisps of chaotic energy condensed into a gray sphere the size of a glass bead in Wang Han's hand, Wang Han opened his palm and let the sphere of chaotic energy fall freely to the ground.
"Let's go!" Without looking at the falling Chaos Pearl, Wang Han smiled slightly and said to Vivian and Angie. With a wave of his hand, he instantly disappeared with the two women and all the magical beasts.
"What is that...?"
"Is the battle over?"
Watching Wang Han, the enemy, and the twenty god-level magical beasts vanish, and seeing the small gray bead rapidly descending towards the city below, the eight cardinals of the Holy See exchanged bewildered glances. This terrifyingly powerful enemy had simply dropped a gray energy bead and disappeared with the two women and the magical beasts; in their view, the falling gray bead wouldn't have much destructive power.
"Perhaps they didn't want to fight the whole world! The city is saved, and we've survived," a cardinal said thankfully. The enemy's half-hearted approach to the battle suggests they didn't want to fight the entire world, nor the angel race.
"Boom...!" The cardinal's words had barely left his lips when a terrifying explosion erupted in the city below. Gray flames, dust, and shockwaves engulfed everything in their path at thousands of kilometers per second, and a mushroom cloud of dust shot hundreds of miles into the sky, piercing through the clouds. The cardinal's words became his final testament, the city's last words.

"Teacher, you're finally back."
Tens of thousands of years ago, deep in the Demon Beast Forest, Angie's hands trembled as she looked at Wang Han with tears in her eyes, speaking pitifully like the insecure little girl she once was.
"I've kept you waiting for so long. You've grown up and matured a lot. You've also found many powerful battle partners (monsters). You're no longer the poor girl who only had a magic rabbit as her battle partner." Looking at Angie, Wang Han showed a genuine smile and said with a smile.
"Yes! Is Teacher leaving again this time?" Anqi gave a heavy "yes," wiped away her tears, and looked at Wang Han expectantly, but her heart was filled with trepidation, fearing that this meeting would only be brief, just like before. Since Wang Han left this world, she had experienced too much. After becoming a god, she thought she would never cry again, only wanting to find Wang Han again. But when she actually saw Wang Han again, her tears still flowed uncontrollably.
"Yes!" Wang Han said confidently. Seeing the disappointment in An Qi's eyes, he added with a smile, "But this time, you can all choose to leave with me."
Upon hearing this, Anqi's disappointed eyes brightened instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, she said, "Teacher, I'll leave with you."
“Teacher, please forgive me for calling you teacher without permission, because Angie taught me the special summoning spell that you taught him.” Vivian said with a smile, “May I leave with you, teacher? In this world, tens of thousands of years have passed, and everything familiar around me has changed. Of all the people I used to know, except for you and Angie, they have all turned to dust.”
“Of course. Since Angie has already taught you my summoning magic, it’s enough to prove that you have her approval,” Wang Han said with a smile. “Besides, I do need your power right now.”
“Teacher, just give us your orders. We’re willing to do whatever you ask us to do,” Vivian said immediately.
“Yes, whatever it is, teacher, whatever you tell us to do, we’ll do it,” Anqi replied, her tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.
“Alright, after I finish things here, I’ll take you to a new and exciting place to leave this world,” Wang Han said with a smile.

"What... happened here?" King Evan of the Light Elf stared blankly at the colossal crater below, somewhat at a loss.
“The City of Light… is completely gone!” Beside the Pope, four cardinals muttered to themselves in disbelief.
If they weren't certain that this was indeed the location of Bright City, the main city of the Bright Empire, and that there was no other place in the Bright Empire with such a massive basin, they might have even thought that the enormous sinkhole ahead, hundreds of miles in diameter and no less than ten miles deep, was just a naturally formed basin. Even the surrounding area of thousands of miles had been utterly destroyed, turning into a plain devoid of greenery, filled only with dust and ruins.
"What on earth is it?" the Pope of Light roared through gritted teeth, his mind racing. Unfortunately, despite racking his brains, he couldn't think of any weapon or magic array in this plane that could cause such terrifying destruction. Even the weapons and magic arrays he knew of couldn't achieve even one percent of this effect; otherwise, this plane would have been unified long ago.
As for gods, to cause such terrifying destruction, at least a high-level god would be needed, and the scale of the destruction would be enormous. However, there could be no high-level gods in this plane. Even if the angels of the Holy See descended, they would at most be mid-level gods, otherwise they would definitely provoke the plane's consciousness to take action.
"Your Holiness!" Looking at the colossal sinkhole before him, the Light Elf Evan quickly assessed the situation and said apologetically to the Pope, "It seems the Light Empire and the Papacy have provoked a very troublesome enemy! I think it would be best to postpone our alliance and plans for a while, so that the Light Empire can have enough energy to deal with the current troubles and enemies. After all, this is an internal matter of the Light Empire, and we Light Elves can only offer encouragement and support to your country; we cannot interfere. We hope Your Holiness can understand."
The Light Elf King's words were very straightforward, and the Pope understood what the Light Elf King, Evan, meant: seeing that the enemy's destructive power was too strong, he didn't want to cause trouble and planned to observe first.
"Thank you for your understanding, Elf King Aiven!" the Pope said. "Elf King Aiven can rest assured that the power of the Holy See is as deep and vast as the ocean. Even if the enemy has some terrifying weapons or magic arrays, it is just a small trouble for the Holy See. It will not take long for the Holy See to resolve it."
"In that case, I shall take my leave! We shall reconsider the alliance and subsequent matters once the Holy See has brought the culprits to justice," said the Elf King Aiven apologetically, before quickly flying away.
...
"Damn elves!" The Pope couldn't help but curse after King Evan had walked away. Dealing with such an enemy would be extremely troublesome for the Holy See, and would likely result in significant casualties. He did want King Evan's help, but King Evan had already made his stance clear from the beginning.
What's even more infuriating is that King Evan said he would renegotiate the alliance instead of continuing it, which clearly indicates that he is prepared to take advantage of the Papacy depending on its situation, or even seize the initiative, or sever ties with the Papacy.
