"Don't worry, I'll find a way to tell Him this news."
Xie Antong stood at the edge of the sky, gazing across the vast distance at Pride on the other side.
No one could have expected why someone from the Demon faction would have the courage to provoke Sin's bad luck at such a moment.
Almost all the Saints in the entire city looked toward her direction with astonished eyes.
Jiang Yuan had already prepared his shield and sword, watching Pride's expression beside him as if ready to take action at any moment.
Chiyo Eine felt her body tense up. Weren't they supposed to hide first and wait for an opportunity? Why show up now?
She was somewhat speechless, her mind already calculating what to do if a fight broke out.
But Xie Antong seemed completely indifferent to the gazes from the entire city, staring at Pride's god-like face from afar and continuing:
"However, you don't actually think you're about to win, do you?"
"Haven't you noticed that in this so-called faction conversion, only Saints can be assimilated into Demons, but Demons fundamentally cannot be converted into Saints?"
Hearing Xie Antong's words, Pride's golden mask slightly furrowed, but he didn't speak.
Perfect Life beside him felt something was off about these words and spoke up:
"Is converting Demons into Saints really necessary?"
"Wouldn't it be fine to just eliminate them all?"
The reason he asked this extra question was because he sensed that this woman, who was incredibly capable in the information field, might have realized something problematic.
This woman's stance had always been unclear, and he wasn't sure if her words carried some hidden agenda.
But Xie Antong naturally didn't take up this topic, instead turning to look at Perfect Life.
"What, have you decided to follow him in this game? Not competing with him anymore?"
Perfect Life: ...
What did she mean by following him...
Then, Xie Antong looked at him and continued:
"You don't actually think he's going to win, do you?"
"Heh, aren't you good at calculations? Why not calculate for him then."
"He's still far from it!"
Around them, the New Saints had no intention of wasting words, closing in with hostile expressions from all directions.
After remaining silent for so long, Pride finally made a move.
Slowly raising his hand, he tightly gripped the Extreme Path Battle Axe.
The next moment, the golden battle axe was thrown directly, spinning through the air like a massive golden wheel.
Its speed was so fast that no one around could react in time!
The roaring battle axe swept across the sky, crossing space in the blink of an eye, vertically splitting the distant Xie Antong in half!
That level of sharpness encountered absolutely no resistance.
And indeed, there was no resistance whatsoever. After being split apart, Xie Antong's body instantly collapsed like paper, then turned into blue smoke.
Chiyo Eine, who had just reached out her hand, slowly lowered it again, breathing a sigh of relief.
She knew that with Xie Antong's cautious nature, she wouldn't appear here for no reason.
......
"Clueless fool."
In the air, the spinning axe flew back like a boomerang, steadily caught by Lu Ce's hand.
Muttering to himself, he shifted his gaze as if what had just happened meant nothing to him.
But Perfect Life beside him actually took Xie Antong's suggestion and calculated another divination for the nearby "Sin."
"Very chaotic divination signs... life and death balance, seems to have always been like this."
Perfect Life slightly interpreted the small Eight Trigrams in his hand.
This kind of divination sign, to put it badly, meant the future was completely unknown; to put it nicely, it could be said to be fifty-fifty.
Logically speaking, for a player targeted by the game to be at fifty-fifty against a targeted Divine Messenger was already quite an achievement.
But after all, "Sin" was now the Saint Lord.
He had just sealed a city's beacon with an almost overwhelming attitude.
His strength was also slowly climbing, and that golden energy rising from the masses clearly benefited him too.
Why was it still fifty-fifty? He hadn't established any advantage at all.
"Does she know something?" Perfect Life frowned and muttered to himself.
Seeing that matters were mostly settled, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to step forward, approaching Lu Ce and speaking:
"Saint Lord."
"No need for me to give orders, right?" Clutching the Extreme Path Battle Axe in his hand, he didn't even turn his head.
"The time those things have left to live is now counting down!"
"Yes!"
The New Saints led by Jiang Yuan didn't seem to care much about the game itself, and their thinking differed from Perfect Life's.
At this moment, they had reached complete alignment with Pride!
—Quickly eliminate the Demons, seal the cities, and force that Death Messenger to come see the Saint Lord!
In their eyes, it seemed they hadn't even considered the possibility that the Saint Lord might lose.
All the New Saints burst forth like blooming lotuses, exploding outward in all directions.
And Lu Ce, carrying the Extreme Path Battle Axe, arrived at the city's Teleportation Point to go to another city and begin his new slaughter.
Perfect Life instantly followed, basically moving together, as he needed to keep an eye on "Sin."
For a time, a storm of [Saints] swept through all the cities!
Demons were being deployed in large numbers, with Hell Envoys even appearing three at once, but perceptually, they no longer carried that world-ending might.
Wherever the Saint Lord went, everything was suppressed in the shortest time possible—now completely unstoppable!
Or rather, no god came to stop him!
The [Demon] faction's strategy seemed to have completely shifted, with no intention whatsoever of confronting the Saints' high-end combat power.
Except for one New Saint who died fighting a Hell Envoy due to unstable form, the rest of the Demons simply slaughtered civilians.
Then, wherever Pride went, he slaughtered them in turn.
The eight cities were littered with corpses, and among those corpses, more than half were Demons!
The smell of blood rose to the skies throughout the entire game! This might be the most bloody Meat Grinder battlefield since the game began.
In Perfect Life's eyes, the air was filled with black and golden energy streams that others couldn't see.
The black energy went to unknown destinations, while all the golden energy flowed toward "Sin" as its endpoint.
In this world, it was as if his god ascension ceremony was underway!
