In a distant city, screams echoed from a hotel.
Hera gulped down the last person in the entire hotel and dragged her enormous body away.
This is the little lizard that split off when it first arrived in the United States, in order to attract the stationed squad.
Hera never took it back, just in case.
Clearly, this precaution was the right thing to do, and it was precisely because of this safeguard that Hera ultimately did not choose to confront the ground head-on.
Her body slowly writhed, transforming into the form of a young girl. Hera's energy at this moment was probably only at the 'Transcendent' level. If the [Ground] were to pursue her now, she would definitely be instantly killed.
Although this city is far from the capital of sin, Hera is still a little worried, after all, she was found even when she hid in the sea.
So I decided to leave the United States and head elsewhere.
As for where to go, we'll decide after we leave.
"The trial... is not over yet."
A voice that Hera least wanted to hear drifted from behind. Without even looking, Hera immediately sprinted forward.
[Ground] With a slight press of her hand, the powerful gravity pressed Hera down to the ground instantly.
Hera turned her head away, and a look of hatred began to appear in her eyes as she looked at the ground.
[On the ground] He frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"I didn't expect the effects of absorbing the power of origin to appear so quickly."
[On the ground] He slowly walked up to Hera.
"【Life】You truly deserve to be called the most promising among us 【Five Calamities】. I estimate that after your five-year sentence is over, you will be fully awakened."
"What's the meaning?"
Awakening? Could I become even stronger?
[The ground] did not answer, but instead, as if possessed, said, "The power you possess now is less than 30% of what it was in your previous life."
Hera tried to stand up by supporting herself with her hands, but gravity tightened and held her down again.
"Alright, that's enough catching up. See you in five years."
After saying that, he slowly raised his hand, and rocks appeared around him.
But just then, a figure wielding a snow-white spear appeared in front of the ground with lightning speed and thrust the spear down.
Bang!
The moment the gun tip touched the ground, a violent explosion erupted between them.
But the ground was like an unyielding stone statue; the powerful impact didn't even make him budge.
The figure didn't seem too surprised. Taking advantage of the explosion's flames, it grabbed Hera from the ground and, with her, quickly moved away from the ground.
Hera looked at the figure protecting her and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
This seems to be one of the Night Stars who fought against the Light God Society in City A of the capital at that time.
Why did he save himself?
Hera didn't make any rash moves, wanting to see what this Night Star was up to. At the same time, an extremely tiny worm crawled out of Hera's palm and headed towards the sewer next to her.
After climbing just two steps, it was crushed by a powerful force of gravity.
"Don't even think about running away."
[Ground] His eyes flashed with golden light, as if warning Hera.
Now that things have come to this, Hera has no other choice but to wait and see what happens between the two of them next.
If a fight breaks out, I might be able to take the opportunity to escape.
"So, who exactly are you?"
The figure holding the snow-white spear stared coldly at the ground, his robes fluttering gently in the breeze.
"Yuan Yexing, the captain of the squad stationed in City A of Beijing, Bai Yu."
"These are unofficial members of the Shining Light Society."
Hera and the ground both narrowed their eyes simultaneously.
"So, you're a traitor?"
“That’s right,” Bai Yu answered without hesitation. “However, you can’t judge me.”
[Ground] looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "Do you want to take [Life] away?"
One stone after another, covered with golden runes, was lifted from the ground and flew into the air.
Bai Yu nodded slightly, "Yes, but I'm afraid I can't do it."
"You do have some self-awareness. Well then, leave before I decide to put you to trial!"
Bai Yu remained standing there steadily.
"May I say a few words to the 'Sinner' one last time?" His tone was indifferent, as if he were not afraid of the alien species in front of him that could kill him with a single blow.
[On the ground] looked at the two of them, and after a moment exhaled, "Permission granted."
At the same time, several stone walls rose up around them, encircling them like a prison.
"I understand." Before [the ground] could say anything, Bai Yu spoke first and then turned to look at Hera.
[On the ground] shut his mouth and turned his head away from listening to their conversation.
Bai Yu slowly leaned down, meeting Hera's gaze at him. "Would you like to join the Order of the Light?"
"I don't want to."
After a brief silence, Bai Yu continued speaking.
"You are now doomed to die. You will only regain your freedom in five years."
It was obvious that Bai Yu had overheard the conversation between [the ground] and Hera.
"So what? Even if I join, will you save me?"
Hera didn't want to waste any more words with him. He couldn't save her, and now he wanted her to join him? No way!
"We can't save you, but after you regain your freedom, we can give you a 'gift' that you can't refuse."
What gift?
"I don't know the specifics, after all, I'm just doing what I'm told."
