The man was about the same height as Isaac, with thick, curly black hair cascading down his back. His expression was arrogant and alluring, but only his gray eyes seemed familiar.
In other words, the way he was being looked at was flippant and arrogant, which was very strange.
Yun Wei roughly guessed who the other party was.
Only the Radiant Lord Dilis could bring the entire universe to a brief standstill, just as he had experienced several times before.
Sure enough, almost the instant their eyes met, Yun Wei heard the man say to him, "Tsk, it's only been half a year, and you don't recognize me? Dear sister-in-law~ Ouch, ouch, ouch! Issa, why are you hitting me!"
That slick, flippant tone—Yun Wei finally understood why Isaac had skipped class before.
It turns out it was all Dilis who led the way!
But given the urgency of the situation, Yun Wei had no time to think further.
He didn't quite believe that the Lord of the Abyss in front of him was truly frozen in place, because no matter which angle he changed from, the other's gaze remained as persistent as a maggot clinging to his body.
So he quickly said, "Stop fooling around, we need to get Richie out of here right now!"
Having just witnessed Richard being pierced by those shadows, he is still shaken and lingering in fear.
He couldn't understand what had just happened either.
Perhaps it was a silly joke by the Lord of the Abyss, or perhaps it was the intervention of Dilis that caused time to flow backward for a brief period.
Fortunately, Dilis did not go crazy at this moment.
The other party lazily turned around, snapped his fingers at the black spider cocoon in mid-air, and chanted: "The gods have reached the tenth day, and glory is with me."
As the melodious voice faded, a huge golden-white divine rune, 'x,' appeared in the void, severing the shadow enveloping Richard like scissors.
Then, the disheveled Mr. Dragon wobbled out of the flat spider cocoon and was caught by the swordsman who appeared in mid-air.
"Ah Lang, it hurts!"
All that could be heard was Silver Dragon's pitiful cry, while the swordsman holding him floated in mid-air, looking completely bewildered.
Yun Wei was still watching the two people with concern when he noticed Richard turn his head and wink at him. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party must be alright.
But before he could relax, he heard Dilis say, "Enough of this small talk. Now, let's discuss the gods' proposal."
The Lord of Glory looked to the other side of the square, where Catherine was coughing against a broken pillar, so He continued, "Let's talk over there."
Yun Wei couldn't help but ask, "Then what about Him? Are we just going to leave Him here and ignore Him?"
They were referring to the alluring man who appeared motionless.
Yun Wei always felt that there was no reason for the other party to be so easily immobilized, and that they might still be toying with them.
"We're about to discuss this, so come here." Dilis waved his hand dismissively and appeared next to Catherine in the next instant.
Yun Wei had no choice but to keep his eyes fixed on the Lord of the Abyss, and almost followed him backwards.
As he approached, he heard Catherine say to Dilis, "Alas, this old woman is getting old after all, and I'm not as decisive as I used to be."
“What are you saying! You are more radiant than most goddesses I have ever seen. If I may be so bold, you are the most charming emperor in the entire star system.” Dilis laughed as he finished speaking, which immediately made Catherine, who was still coughing, laugh.
To be honest, Yun Wei was quite shocked by the Empress's apparent joy and Dilis's skill in using sweet words.
But soon, Catherine the Great's smile vanished.
Because Dilis spoke of the gods' proposal—
"Although Aromiche has already devoured the vast majority of planes, according to our information, this is the first time He has personally descended into a plane."
"Therefore, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the gods. They are preparing to seal Aromache in the continent of the Elemental."
His pronouns changed several times, but they inadvertently expressed his stance.
The people present were already used to these witty remarks, and even Yun Wei could roughly understand what the other party meant.
If there was one person who didn't understand what Dilis meant, it was the most straightforward and honest Allen.
The short pope jumped up and gave Dilis a sharp rap on the head without any hesitation. "Well, Dilis! You dare to betray the Continent of Elements after becoming a god?! Let's see how I deal with you—cough, I'll get back to you later!"
Unable to fight back, Dilis immediately covered his head and ran away, crying out, "Ouch! It hurts! Your Holiness, I'm truly innocent!"
If one hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the carefree and radiant Lord of Light would be so submissive in front of his own Pope, even uttering bizarre accusations like "murdering his husband."
And Allen is so lively and energetic now... I wonder what exactly happened between the two of them.
But no one was in the mood for amusement.
Their expressions were all solemn, for the unyielding will of the gods was contained in those words.
Catherine said, "Interesting. If that's the case, then to my Dimensional Continent, how are the gods any different from the abyss?"
This is a rhetorical question, so it doesn't need any answer; it's just used to express strong emotions.
Her previously calm expression suddenly turned sharp, as if she were about to draw her sword.
But everyone remained silent.
Neither Xie Mulang nor Richard, nor Isaac standing behind Yun Wei, had the courage to speak up at this moment.
Only Yun Wei frowned and said, "But if we can't even contend with the Lord of the Abyss, how can we possibly fight against the gods?"
After he asked the question, Catherine did not answer immediately.
The five people fell into a brief, awkward silence.
Yun Wei noticed that Richard, sitting opposite him, had his chin resting on Xie Mulang's shoulder and was quietly giving him a thumbs up, praising his extraordinary courage.
He could only respond with a wry smile.
But Catherine laughed again, and looked up at him, saying, "Yun Wei, you're mistaken again. As long as we deal with the Lord of the Abyss, the gods won't bother us anymore."
At that moment, Yun Wei felt that the other person was more kind than ever before.
He had a vague sense of unease.
Catherine stood up unsteadily. "That's right, it's my turn to protect the Continent of Elements this time. I saw your spell last time very clearly."
In the current context, there is only one specific spell being referred to.
It is the ability to perish together with the enemy, "and so, weep at this moment."
Since the other party had mastered the Opening Prayer of the same series of forbidden spells, Yun Wei had no doubt that she could use this forbidden spell.
only……
Yun Wei was at a loss for words. He just stood there in silence, and all he could say was a few dry "buts".
Catherine smiled and interrupted him, "You're smarter than them all, and you must know that this is the best solution. Sacrifice is always necessary, isn't that something you firmly believe in?"
Yun Wei's mind was in complete chaos, his limbs were ice-cold, and he was unusually thrown into a state of panic.
Then, he was led by Isaac.
Through the cool mask, you couldn't see his eyebrows and eyes.
The gauntlets made of black iron were also very cold, but strangely, he felt warm about them.
At that moment, being led by his knight, he strangely calmed down and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
At this moment, Catherine straightened her back and staggered toward the Lord of the Abyss. "My homeland is by the sea. Every time people go out to sea, they toss a coin, as if they only have a 50% chance of returning safely."
"I will never forget that cloudy afternoon when I squatted alone on the pier and cried, as if the whole sea and sky were weeping for me... But when I looked up, I saw Issa's grandfather."
As she walked, she talked about the past, rambling on and on, just like an ordinary and unassuming elder.
It's verbose and illogical.
But Yun Wei listened very attentively, forcing himself not to shed tears as he listened.
Thankfully, he was still holding Isaac's hand.
He listened as she recounted the love story that descended from the sky in the Icebird Flower Territory, the sorrow and hardship she endured alone in the palace, and then suddenly began to talk about some things from Issa's childhood.
"In short, we all have to break free from our cocoons and become butterflies. Do you know the snowball flower? I like that. We call it 'Kalinka.' It was my favorite flower when I was a girl."
"We've come back to the Ice Sparrow Flower. It seems the time has come." Catherine looked down at Aromisher with disdain, but her magic suddenly surged forth. "The ship is about to sink, and as its captain, I will not abandon it. Yun Wei, can I entrust the Zhuyuan Continent to you with peace of mind?"
At such a sacred moment, Yunwei could not refuse under any circumstances.
He could only grit his teeth and kneel down on one knee, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He faintly heard a sigh, "You... how many times have I told you to call me Katya?"
Yun Wei wanted to change his mind, but it was too late.
Because in the next moment, the overwhelming magical power that swept in shook the entire space, as if thousands of cranes were crying mournfully in the northern plains.
That was the aria of the only emperor on the continent of Zhuyuan—
"At this moment, we must lament!"
