Chapter 459: Eliminate the Epidemic

At that moment, it seemed as if the sun of the whole world had exploded here.

The overwhelming light burst out instantly, the entire trunk was shaking violently, and the branches were completely broken and scattered.

Screams and roars came from all directions, and it was difficult to identify for a while.

When the smoke and dust cleared, it was discovered that Athena's figure was falling rapidly in the flames in the center...

Li Yang and others hurriedly used their power to try to slow down her falling speed.

In just a short while, although she escaped from the crisis, she was pale and her breath was gradually weakening.

Athena's eyes were closed and her breathing was weak, as if she had paid a huge price.

Artemis put her on the ground, and Oeniris beside her asked anxiously:

"Athena, you...you...are you okay?"

Athena opened her eyes reluctantly and nodded vigorously:

"I...I'm fine. I just consumed too much energy and need some time to recover." She looked around and said solemnly, "Now it's okay, we are ready to break through reality."

As her voice fell, the world suddenly trembled.

It was as if an invisible giant hand tore the earth apart, and a huge crack gradually appeared in front of everyone.

In the crack, twisted light flashed, as if leading to another unknown world.

Demeter couldn't help but take a breath: "This...is this the exit to reality?"

"Yes." Athena nodded weakly, "With the decline of the World Tree, the crack will expand rapidly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity for this universe to completely get rid of the current situation..."

Artemis stared at the crack, with a mixture of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

She had also seen Hephaestus' research.

She often wondered if there was a bigger world outside this universe.

She had longed for the so-called true reality countless times in the long years, and now she was finally able to see it in person, with mixed feelings in her heart.

At this moment, a loud tearing sound suddenly came from the sky, and everyone couldn't help but look up nervously.

Hephaestus' huge body, still completely wrapped in the [Plague], slowly emerged from the clouds, approaching them like a terrifying monster.

"Okay, okay...you guys are still here!"

Hephaestus laughed wildly,

"Athena...and the other guys, I almost lost you!"

"There's still a lot of time, why are you in such a hurry to end it?"

Artemis sighed and said slowly:

"Enough, look at what you have become."

"As an existence that depends on this universe...you will soon disappear with its disappearance."

"Time is running out...you should also know how to give up, right?"

"Time is running out? Yes...not much..."

"You don't have much time left, let's end everything here!"

"Use my research to deal with me! You are overestimating yourself, just like an ant trying to shake a tree!"

Hephaestus roared and twisted his body, and countless hideous tentacles shot out from his body, attacking everyone crazily.

Everyone also exerted the power of authority in their hands, and clashed with it, erupting into a violent impact.

But the two sides were obviously not of the same level.

At this time, Hephaestus was like a bottomless black hole, greedily sucking everything from the outside world.

And the power absorbed by it did not dissipate.

Instead, it was used by it to repair the world tree that was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Athena gritted her teeth and reminded:

"It wants to repair the tree... How is this possible?"

"The tree... The tree has not recovered, but the exit has gradually closed... It actually works... Damn it!"

She stretched out her palm with difficulty and waved it in front of her. In an instant, a huge barrier was condensed in front of the crack to cover everyone.

"Go!" She panted and roared to everyone.

Seeing the critical situation, Li Yang immediately drew out the Sword of Creation and slashed it with a knife, opening a path to the crack for everyone.

Under his leadership, everyone quickly rushed towards the crack.

And at this moment, a huge tentacle suddenly attacked from behind and attacked Athena fiercely.

"Tsk..."

Artemis was quick-witted and pulled the bow in an instant, shooting a moon-like arrow that hit the tentacle.

As before, all the energy and matter in this world will be devoured by the [Epidemic].

The arrow dissipated the moment it came into contact with it, but the impact barely made the tentacle deviate an inch.

With a "puff", the thing hit Athena's leg.

Her lower limbs melted instantly, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Li Yang and others turned around subconsciously, but before they could react, the second tentacle had already killed them.

Similarly, it was also aimed at Athena.

She didn't have time to express her opinion, so she waved her hand slightly and smiled helplessly.

"Buzz--"

At the moment when the tentacles fought with it, a green light pressed down from the sky.

Demeter, who had become the Lord of Time and had been seen in the cracks of time, slowly fell to the ground.

Turning back, facing the stunned crowd, he slowly said:

"I foresaw it."

"My future still cannot be changed..."

"My past will leave this cage with you."

"But in the future, I will definitely return here and guard you forever on my behalf."

"Time has never changed... I have already foreseen it."

"The World Tree will be destroyed, and the only way to connect to the outside world will also disappear."

"The plague will be destroyed, but this universe will become a cage that can never be escaped."

"Li Yang, I will definitely find a way to break the barrier again."

"I hope to see the day when we meet again."

As she said this, she slowly waved her hands and made a gesture to drive away.

Time, after all, cannot be changed.

But, all this is meaningful.

"Why...why can't the tree be repaired?"

"This is obviously my research...my plan..."

"You bunch of thieves...bastards!"

"I am immortal, and [Plague] is immortal!"

"Run! No matter where you go, [Plague] will find you! And then tear you apart!"

Li Yang, who stepped half a foot into the crack, could no longer bear it.

He turned around suddenly, raised his sword, and fiercely slashed at the huge black mist-like body.

A strong energy wave came, and a deep crack was cut on Hephaestus' body!

No... that was not cut by Li Yang.

The power of creation is still under the World Tree.

The power of authority can never hurt those more essential things...

This crack is a symbol of the huge [Epidemic] gradually collapsing as the World Tree withers.
