Time passed second by second, and Tabor and Roy's condition clearly declined significantly. Even Maggie, who theoretically had unlimited stamina, felt waves of fatigue.
She was mentally exhausted, as she had to be constantly on guard against attacks from other false gods.
One careless move and an irreversible situation can occur.
At the same time, not only the Dark God, but also the Earth God, the Forest God, the Fire God, the Sea God, and the Sky God all lit up.
Only the position of the God of Light remains vacant.
Maggie gritted her teeth, preparing to use even more ruthless methods, when suddenly the surroundings began to tremble faintly. Just when Maggie thought it was her imagination, the tremors suddenly became extremely strong.
So powerful were the false gods inside the sacred mountain that they stopped what they were doing.
This also includes the battlefield where Maggie is located.
All eyes turned to their feet, because such a shock that could affect the energy level of a pseudo-god was clearly very abnormal.
"What's going on?"
Maggie retreated to Roy and Nofel's side, her ominous premonition growing stronger, sensing that an extraordinary danger was about to befall her.
But she didn't know what it would be.
In theory, she is invincible in this timeline and has never felt threatened.
But today, she truly sensed it.
Maggie's sixth sense is always very accurate.
Something is about to come out.
Even Nofel's usually calm face showed a solemn expression, because he felt much like Maggie now; he also sensed danger.
At the same time, only Roy seemed to understand something; he turned around without hesitation and rushed towards Maggie.
Maggie felt her body being pushed away with great force, and then everything went black. All the sounds around her disappeared, and there was complete silence, without a sound or light.
It's like throwing a normal person into a dark, quiet cave.
Extreme fear enveloped her.
When Maggie could see clearly again.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and her blood seemed to freeze instantly inside her body, leaving her limbs stiff and unable to move.
Roy was right in front of her, but most of his body had disappeared, leaving only an arm and the area above his head.
Her body, which shouldn't have been injured, had a bloody hole in her arm, as if it had been eroded and gnawed by something.
Blood was flowing out and there was no sign of healing; the exposed flesh looked horrifying.
Ignoring the excruciating pain, Maggie raised her trembling arm, trying to touch Roy, but Roy grasped her palm with his only remaining arm.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness I managed to save you."
He managed a weak smile, pressed Maggie's hand to his cheek, and his voice held an indescribable sense of relief.
Maggie looked bewildered; her mind was blank, and she had no idea what had just happened. All she could see was Roy's mutilated appearance.
"No...it shouldn't be like this."
Maggie's expression was blank, and tears streamed down her face without warning. She murmured in confusion, not knowing how things had turned out this way.
She can get hurt, and she might even die in this timeline.
"Why did you suddenly rush over to save me? I won't die...."
Finally, Maggie broke down, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string, looking as helpless as a child who couldn't find her way home.
If Roy died saving her, then what was the point of everything she did?
Even when she encountered something extremely serious, she had never cried like this before.
Tears are the most useless thing, Maggie has always believed.
When faced with difficulties, the first thing to do should be to solve the problem, but at this moment, she couldn't think of any way and could only watch helplessly as Luo Yi gradually dissipated in front of her.
We are powerless to do anything about it.
"Don't cry. I'm happy to be able to protect my friends."
Roy was calmer than Maggie. Even though he was the one who was going to die, he wasn't sad at all. Instead, he felt a sense of relief and comforted Maggie with gentle words.
"No... I did it for..."
Maggie had no idea how to explain; all her words were stuck in her throat.
She was protected again.
His life was saved by the friend he most wanted to save.
Roy, however, was going to die because of her.
Is what she's doing now really the right thing to do?
Maggie began to doubt herself, wondering if she should have interfered with the past, and whether she had been wrong from the very beginning.
Maggie was caught in a vortex of self-doubt and had no interest in observing what was happening around her.
In reality, most of the sacred mountain had been reduced to ruins. Apart from the battlefield on Maggie's side, all the false gods who had originally lost and were vying for other divine positions within the sacred mountain had also been devoured.
Not a single one was left.
Even on this battlefield, the false gods who were besieging Nophiel were almost half devoured by Tartarus, who broke through the seal.
Only a few remain.
As for Maggie and Nofel, they were spared only because their battlefield was located at the very edge of Tartarus's power eruption.
In addition, the location of the divine throne was not devoured by Tartarus and remained standing safely in its place.
Taber was also seriously injured while protecting Norfield, and his condition was not much better than Lloyd's.
Half of his body had vanished, and compared to Roy, who was born as an elemental spirit, the remaining half was covered in blood, making him look even more wretched and terrifying.
Nofel stood there, momentarily bewildered. The usually shrewd and calculating man fell silent after seeing Taber's appearance.
His gaze at Tabor gradually darkened, becoming increasingly lonely, and finally, numb.
Like a pawn abandoned by the world.
“The divine position..…”
As Tabor lay on the verge of losing consciousness, his mind was still preoccupied with the future of humanity. Blood gushed from his throat, his trembling voice laced with blood and foam.
Nofel stared blankly at Taber, who was looking at him with hopeful eyes.
After a long pause, Nofel lowered his eyes. His voice, though not loud, seemed to carry all his promises.
"Humans will have gods."
And so, Norfield watched helplessly as Taber breathed his last before his eyes.
At the same time, Roy, who had a contract with Taber, also vanished completely before Maggie's eyes, leaving only the faint warmth of Roy still lingering in Maggie's palm.
"Don't be sad. I wasn't born as an elemental spirit because of expectations. I've just returned to my original form. We will meet again. I just hope you'll recognize me then."
She could almost hear the words of comfort Roy saying to her.
He always believed that he, with his demonic blood, should never have existed.
