After saying this, under Vivian's dazed gaze, Lynn strode forward and said:
"Alright, go back and deal with the aftermath. I believe that in the coming days, many top powers, including Winter Spring Valley, will come to this city. As a descendant of the Violet Family, I trust you can handle it!"
Watching his retreating figure,
Vivian froze for a moment, then shouted at his back:
"But... but what should I say?!"
"Just say..." Lynn turned sideways, a mocking smile appearing on his face, and said:
"This is the blessing of the divine."
"After all... the divine loves all people, doesn't it?"
Vivian watched him leave in a daze.
And after his figure disappeared at the end of the street, countless monsters outside the city gradually turned to dust and dispersed in a gentle breeze.
The huge crack opened by the Blood Domain Demon Race also slowly healed with that gentle breeze.
Everything seemed to be erased.
All traces appeared to have vanished.
Soon, the stasis of space and time was lifted.
Outside Moonlily City.
The Thorn Sorceress's body suddenly shook as she came to her senses.
But when she looked toward Moonlily City, her body began to tremble.
"What... what's going on?! Where is the Blood Domain Demon Lord?! Where is the Blood Domain Demon Lord?!"
Outside Moonlily City, everything was peaceful.
Only countless black crystals and dust remained where the spatial gate had been.
Everything seemed like a dream.
Her face turned pale as she stumbled backward, desperately trying to sense the Blood Domain Demon Lord's presence.
But there was nothing!! Nothing at all!
What exactly had happened?!
The Blood Domain Demon Lord had clearly descended upon the world; she had seen it with her own eyes!
"No! No! Impossible!"
Her gaze immediately fell on the ground where the spatial gate had been, on the numerous remaining crystals and dust.
The moment she saw those crystals, her lips lost all color, leaving only paleness.
She vaguely realized something.
But that guess was so absurd it seemed like a dream.
And almost simultaneously,
Nanako, Arnold, and the other knights instantly awakened. After a brief moment of bewilderment at the Blood Domain Demon Lord's disappearance, they immediately reacted and unanimously attacked the Thorn Sorceress.
BOOM—
Arnold roared, his massive warhammer falling like divine punishment near the Thorn Sorceress.
The Thorn Sorceress instantly retreated.
She gritted her teeth, her face contorted with malice as she looked at them venomously and said:
"We'll meet again! The next time you see me, I'll show you what true pain means!"
In an instant, she suddenly retreated, her body immediately disappearing into a magic circle that suddenly appeared behind her.
Nanako gritted her teeth, about to give chase.
Arnold immediately stopped her, saying gravely: "Steward Nanako, don't pursue a desperate enemy. If an Abyss Warlock wants to escape, it's very difficult for us to detain them."
She had single-handedly put them in such a difficult position; if they really followed her into her domain,
No one could predict what unexpected situations might arise.
Nanako angrily ground her teeth. She knew Arnold was right, but she still stomped the ground forcefully, saying through clenched teeth:
"That detestable woman! I will definitely catch her!"
And the demon guards that the Thorn Sorceress had summoned around them were immediately dragged back into the abyss by their contracts after she left, and the unconscious abyssal dragon slowly vanished from the scene.
Nanako frowned her delicate eyebrows and said:
"So what exactly happened? Wasn't the Blood Domain Demon Lord already here just now? How in the blink of an eye..."
Arnold shook his head, his face grave as he said: "I'm not entirely sure either, but my body's feedback tells me that we just experienced a complete space-time stasis..."
Upon hearing this, Nanako was shocked.
Complete space-time... stasis?!
How was this possible?!
Arnold pondered: "A knight's body has always possessed a very powerful sense of the external environment, so I vaguely noticed this point. If I'm not mistaken..."
He raised his head, looking gravely in the direction of Moonlily City.
Nanako's eyes widened as she clutched her thick staff, saying: "You mean those two giant celestial hands that appeared above Moonlily City... that monster the demon mentioned?"
Arnold nodded and said: "Yes, Steward Nanako, you might not be aware, but when we first entered the city, we all sensed that being's presence..."
The surrounding knights immediately nodded.
Nanako's eyes widened as she swallowed and said:
"You don't mean..."
Arnold looked up at the sky, his burly frame showing no signs of age at all.
"That's right, when we passed through the bustling Chenghua Avenue, we all felt that terrible sense of being watched. If I'm not mistaken, the terrifying being in Moonlily City who looked at us at that time must have been the same one!"
Nanako: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Wait... wait a minute!
The one who teased you earlier was my disciple!
How did it become...
Nanako suddenly froze.
Then her eyes widened dramatically.
Could it be...
Could it be that the one who repelled those demons was... was...
Nanako's mind exploded like a bomb, and she immediately stood there in a daze, hugging her thick staff, swaying back and forth, looking like she might faint at any moment.
Arnold looked up, took a deep breath, and said with a slight smile: "After all, how could a being capable of making me soil myself be ordinary?"
In Moonlily City,
People emerged from their houses one after another, staring in bewilderment at the clear sky.
The huge flower that had been in the sky earlier had vanished.
The sky was crystal clear, with wild geese calling overhead.
Many people felt dazed, as if they had experienced a very realistic dream.
"It's gone, the spatial rift in the sky is gone!"
"Was I dreaming? Did those demons never appear?"
"No! That's not right! I just saw that hundreds-meter-tall monster outside the city, but how did it suddenly..."
The crowds were bewildered, completely confused.
They didn't understand what had happened.
But this didn't affect their joyful mood at all.
Soon, by the time Nanako and the others entered the city, the entire street was already packed with cheering people.
"The demons are gone! The demons are gone!"
"It must be divine protection, surely the divine sent down heavenly punishment to help us purify those vile invaders!"
"Praise our god! Praise all gods!"
The crowds sang hymns of praise in unison, and the entire street was filled with an atmosphere of post-disaster joy.
Nanako hugged her staff in a daze as she made her way through the crowd.
Even now, it still felt unreal to her.
One of the four demon lords, the Blood Domain Demon Lord who was second only to king-level beings, had just so easily...
And at this moment.
[Amazing! Amazing! It's been a thousand years since I've properly shown off, and this time it was absolutely exhilarating! σ(｀∀´)Ψ]

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
