Chapter 1009: Chapter 4: There’s Still Hope!

"Gu Mo! You... I’m so glad you’re okay..."

Leaping out from the teleportation gate, arriving just in time like a divine weapon descending from the heavens to stop the Goddess’s atrocity, Amilia immediately saw the figure beside her and felt a huge weight lifted off her chest, an unprecedented sense of relief overwhelmed her.

In these past two weeks, she was never at ease, constantly on the run.

Pushing herself to the limit—

She had done everything she could, yet she couldn’t help feeling afraid, waking up trembling from nightmares every night, fearing that even after giving her all, it would still be too late...

That decisive moment when she pushed herself and Miss Erica into the teleportation gate to escape, choosing to stay behind and face the figure, could very well have been the last time.

Fortunately... fortunately...

At this moment, her restless spirit finally settled, and Amilia’s hand gripping the Holy Sword trembled slightly, unable to suppress her excitement.

But even as she felt relieved, she didn’t subconsciously relax; instead, she became even more vigilant, standing alertly in the middle to guard against the Innocent Goddess on the opposite side.

"Miss Emi, you really came..."

Gu Mo waved his hand with a smile and greeted her.

His expression was as usual, showing no signs of the fear and anxiety from this period. Despite being covered in dirt and green grass, looking disheveled and messy, this strange contrast highlighted even more his unwavering confidence.

"..."

"..."

"Yes! I came!"

Amilia took a deep breath and nodded heavily, as if making a solemn vow.

Seeing him and that little girl looking so dirty, she could tell they must have suffered a lot during this time. Yet even so, he hadn’t given up and believed she would come to save him...

Amilia couldn’t describe her feelings at this moment, a mixture of relief and this unfamiliar emotion became particularly complex.

She could only try to suppress the stirrings in her heart, while she felt that at this moment—

Something seemed to have emerged inside her.

Initially, it was just a faint light, but it grew bigger and stronger, eventually bursting forth, shining brightly in the night. At the same time, the Holy Power within her surged with her breaths and blood, releasing a vitality and warmth akin to the sun, growing even more robust!

Amilia was unaware of what was happening, only feeling that her emotional turbulence made her energy release more intense.

Huh?

Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, noticing the change in Miss Brave’s demeanor; hadn’t she previously been unable to channel energy through emotions?

What was happening now?

Vaguely, he had a strong intuition, the crucial catalyst for completing the Third Magic was about to appear!

"Hmph, so it’s this feather..."

Athena tightened her fist on the opposite side, suppressing her anger as she realized the connection to that half feather on her body had allowed the opposite side to find the opportunity and open a teleportation gate for a direct assault.

Despite all her calculations, she had overlooked this point, which infuriated her.

"Do you think this is enough to stop me?!"

Amilia’s eyes were fixed on the Innocent Goddess opposite her, aware that the opponent was completely enraged and seemed ready to strike, she quickly advised, "Mr. Gu Mo! Get behind me! I’ll protect you..."

Word by word, it was like a knight’s vow.

This time, she would absolutely not let down this trust again!

Athena sneered instantly, casting a sharp gaze at Gu Mo and questioning his soul:

"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! Being protected by a girl, aren’t you ashamed? Can you really accept this? Isn’t there any... isn’t there any..." Her voice trailed off and gradually disappeared.

Because she found that even before she was done speaking, someone had already quietly acted, moving behind Miss Brave.

Not listening to her at all...

"..."

"..."

In a strange silence, Gu Mo cleared his throat softly, sincerely expressing his attitude: "I’ve always been able to accept such things, you don’t need to worry about me..."

What a pity—

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have been able to leave Thirteen Sakura Village back then.

...

...

In a certain world line—

"I am the Monkey King, born from stone, with infinite abilities and countless transformations!"

"I stole elixirs, indulged in wine, and sneaked peaches in the Celestial Palace! I engaged in fights, acted ferociously, and displayed malevolence!"

"I am the sky, the mighty existence of heaven—!!"

With endless violent laughter, louder than the collapse of the world, the terrifying monkey manifested flames from its back, like the intense inferno of a smelting furnace, emitting scorching heat. With a somersault, it leapt an unfathomable distance, tearing a fiery cloak seemingly thousands of miles long!

A stick drawn from nowhere was swung heavily down!

The void resonated with rumbling sounds, a massive vibration akin to stars exploding.

This strike in the sky above Earth fell like the crumbling heavens! The ancient Divine Pillar supporting the world descended, akin to the boundless might of an entire continent collapsing!

Boom—!!

Like a massive typhoon exploding, a fierce shockwave swept across the world!

In that instant, Lady Aisha, just waking up, bewildered and unaware of what happened, suddenly felt deaf. Losing balance, she staggered and fell to the ground, her mind went blank, and she could no longer hear any sound.

"We can’t hold it back anymore, this world is ending too..."

In the ruins, someone crudely grabbed her extremely exhausted arm, pulling her up forcefully and pushing her towards the passage—

"The plan has failed! We couldn’t defeat the Vanguard of the Wandering Star; It even turned around and devoured the King of the End’s intelligence, evolving to this state with the Monkey King’s authority, starting a sweep of the planet, annihilating the gods, everything is over..."

"Go quickly! Take the Divine Blade and leave here! Your world is far away, you still have hope to prevent all this!"
