In the suddenly shrinking pupils of the gods, what they saw was not the vanished and dead Maggie, but a reflection of a more mature soul with black hair and black eyes, completely different from Maggie in appearance.
Perhaps because she was controlled by the scepter, her dark eyes were devoid of any emotion, and she did not regard the gods.
The appearance revealed by her soul was not as striking as Maggie's, whose bone structure was as defined as a delicate porcelain doll; instead, it exuded an overall sense of coldness and desolation.
With a straight nose and sharp, piercing eyes, he exudes a strong sense of aggression, yet also seems to possess an indifference that seems to detach him from worldly affairs. This coldness emanating from his very bones makes people hesitant to approach or provoke him.
Even though it was just a semi-transparent soul, the whole person seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, like icicles in winter.
She has a completely different appearance from Maggie; she is not a Western doll-like beauty, but rather an Eastern aloofness and coolness.
"This is... her?"
Harlanser's breathing faltered, his voice filled with uncertainty and disbelief.
It's unclear whether they were amazed or shocked by Bai Xi's appearance.
Even in such a critical situation, the image of her soul was completely imprinted in the eyes of the gods, deeply etched in their memories, and could never be forgotten.
Of course, if Bai Xi were to regain consciousness now, she would immediately go black. Her original appearance was very distinctive; almost everyone in the college who had seen her once during her university years would remember her.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman who exuded an aura of being half-dead and unapproachable, making her hard to forget.
Now that she had been seen clearly by several gods she was extremely wary of, and who even remembered her original appearance, she would definitely be so angry that she would want to kill someone.
Unfortunately, she is still trapped in the consciousness space, watching helplessly as a semi-real crystal core condenses in her body. It looks a bit like a god, but not quite, leaving her completely bewildered.
She thought she had gained the approval of the divine scepter and was about to stop Tartarus when everything went black and she lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was trapped in my own consciousness space and had no idea what was happening outside.
"Let me out right now!"
Bai Xi was going crazy. What if she woke up to find the world in chaos? At best, she would have to start all over again; at worst, she would be reduced to ashes.
She wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I can't just sit here and wait; I need to know what's happening outside."
Bai Xi has an exceptionally strong will; she feels at ease only when she has everything she can control in her hands.
Now facing the unknown, the panic in her heart was indescribable, and her emotions fluctuated greatly. Even the consciousness space constructed by the scepter to prevent her from causing trouble was fluctuating.
At that time, with the blessing of the Supreme God's Scepter and the gods, the crack outside finally became smaller and smaller, and gradually showed signs of closing. Maggie's soul showed no signs of being affected, which made the gods feel somewhat relieved.
As long as the soul remains, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
As a god, it would be utterly useless if he couldn't find Maggie a usable body.
They just didn't understand why Maggie's soul and body looked different. One possibility was that her soul had been in a different body before.
But now is not the time to think about that; they are all doing their best to close the crack.
Finally, just a second before the rift was about to close, Bai Xi's consciousness shattered the consciousness space completely, successfully breaking free from its restraints.
In the instant she came to her senses, she didn't pay attention to anything else, but immediately noticed the two unknown figures still floating in the abyss rift. Whether they were angels or demon kings, they couldn't be absent from future history, and these two were the ones she had saved.
Bai Xi had only one thought left in her mind.
Her body moved in sync with her mind, and she held the Scepter of the Gods, the most powerful artifact on the entire continent, in her hand. With just a thought, the scepter would move in accordance with her actions.
A massive surge of magic rushed into the abyss rift, engulfing El and Safis's bodies and successfully pulling them ashore.
However, after losing the suppression of the main god, the abyss rift regained its power, meaning that the absolutely hungry abyss would never allow Bai Xi to take away its prey.
A violent and terrifying shockwave erupted, nearly causing the gods to lose their footing. At the same time, the power that was trying to pull up El and Saphis was cut off. Bai Xi's eyes widened suddenly. Even though she had tried her best, she could only bring out one El.
Saphis, however, was left forever in the abyss.
"No!"
Bai Xi's voice was filled with despair, and in her pupils was the image of Safis falling back into the crack.
However, on the other side lies a crack that is poised to widen again.
She didn't even have a chance to hesitate. She could only take the power of the chief god back to suppress the rift. Once suppressed again, Tartarus completely lost the chance to resist. In the eyes of all the gods, the rift was finally completely closed.
All that remained was a void, devoured by the previous attack, as if proclaiming to the world the catastrophe that had just occurred there.
"..."
Bai Xi held the Scepter of the Supreme God in his hand, momentarily lost in thought, because Safis still carried Roy's elemental body. If he were to be swallowed by the abyss, what would happen to Roy?
It's not fair to call her cold-blooded; her relationship with Safis wasn't particularly good, and he certainly wasn't as important to her as Roy.
Her biggest worry must be her friends.
Perhaps having lost its target, the power flowing through the scepter of the supreme god finally returned to silence, and its brilliant radiance dimmed, eventually disappearing completely.
Whether it was due to excessive use of power or its premature appearance and excessive consumption, the decorations on it turned into dust and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a dusty wooden stick, the kind that no one would pick up if left on the roadside.
Without the support of power, Bai Xi lost consciousness in an instant, and her soul fell to the mountain peak.
The unknown regenerative ability that had been suppressed within her body began to repair her body once again. As she fell into the void, her body gradually returned to its original form as Maggie.
Greysius was the first to react, and with a flash, he rushed directly below Maggie as she fell. Unfortunately, the moment he caught Maggie, her body vanished from his arms without warning.
"..."
He stared blankly at the empty embrace, a hint of confusion in his snake-like eyes—an emotion he had never felt before.
"It's happening again...it's disappeared again."
Rosette followed closely behind, but after confirming that Maggie had disappeared, the entire fish stopped in mid-air, pursed its lips, and murmured softly.
Oris was about to step forward, but a second before he could move, he seemed to sense something and glanced inexplicably at the spot where Safis had just been swallowed.
"strangeness...."
His voice was so soft that no one heard him.
