Chapter 1052: Chapter 22: The Dead World! Mythical Level! (Part 2)

"...Will it come in handy in certain situations...?"

The Demon Hunter Girl listened as she squinted thoughtfully, as if she had just realized something.

Then, she slightly pursed her lips and glanced around, only to see the campfire burning brightly, its warm light illuminating the modest-sized cave.

However, she did not see Miss Brave or the Princess of Glazed Pupil among them... She figured that there must be another plan in place, so she wasn’t too worried about the whereabouts of her temporary allies.

Those two had been her previous temporary allies and were the most important tactical executors —

After all, whether it was Amilia, entrusted with the True World-saving Divine Blade, or the Princess of Glazed Pupil, who could rely on her Divine Format nature to acquire the authority and open the path to the depths of the Milky Sea, both played crucial roles in the final tactics. Of course, besides them, there was no one else to choose from to form a team... Even the Defiant Gods couldn’t get involved at this stage, at most fighting alongside the Demon King and other heroes on the Milky Sea, striving to halt the spread of the black sludge.

But that’s still considered good, at least this part was genuinely contributing...

As for those who didn’t even show up and merely provided remote firepower support from their own Divine Domains, they were hard to pin down.

Although there was no proof, Hiri always suspected that some of those Defiant Gods were using their support as cover to plot another retreat, and perhaps they had already slipped away... Thinking about this made her shake her head involuntarily, but the Demon Hunter Girl didn’t criticize them too harshly. After all, the team-up was temporary, everyone was just gathered together out of mutual need, so she couldn’t expect too much.

She sighed softly, looking at the young man beside the campfire, "Earlier I thought something had happened to you, so I collaborated with them... But now it seems you didn’t really need it, did you?"

"Of course, it’s necessary, otherwise why else would you find yourself here, Hiri..."

Faced with the inquiries and doubts of the navigator he valued, Gu Mo provided a definite answer.

He also glanced in the direction outside the cave, frowning slightly, and flicked out a peculiar glow.

The light momentarily lit up the entire cave, darting outside in an instant, disappearing into the boundless depths... Within a second, a muffled sound came from afar outside, accompanied by a trembling that made the ground subtly shake... Although nothing was seen, the scene easily conjured the image of a massive, heavy monster effortlessly losing its life, its enormous body crashing heavily to the ground.

Boom—!!

This naturally made Hiri, who was deep in thought, suddenly jump, her eyebrows visibly raised.

What was outside?

Her Perception couldn’t detect it at all, was it because it was too far away? Or was it too powerful, overwhelming, and deceiving her Perception?

Though the related doubts fleetingly crossed her mind, the Demon Hunter Girl didn’t care too much, knowing all too well the terrifying Power of the man before her. If at the start of meeting him, she could vaguely sense a boundary, an inkling of a tangible limit, now she couldn’t even imagine it.

——The so-called Gods are titles reserved for truly godly beings.

——In short, Gods are cheating existences.

Perhaps it was due to this deeply ingrained "common sense" that whatever monster was outside causing the threat seemed clearly resolved now, so Hiri naturally didn’t concern herself too much — if she became curious each time, she would be overwhelmed, hence she quickly refocused and began thinking back to the words she had just heard and quickly engaged her mind.

"So, is this something you’ve orchestrated? Is it the outcome you wanted to see?"

Thinking aloud, she felt a sense of realization: "So my appearing here was in your plans?"

"Ah, kinda, to be precise, Hiri, you’re just one of the contingency options, given that the situation wasn’t optimistic, so I could only steer a bit and couldn’t plan every move you made..."

Gu Mo poked the campfire, speaking in a slightly somber tone, "Besides that, I’ve made many other arrangements, like bringing in whoever I could. As long as the ’anchors’ are numerous enough, even if I can’t directly wake up, at least my persona won’t be easily erased, turning into a deus ex machina, leaving chances for... Well, it couldn’t be helped, I was ill-prepared and had to make do with the fallback option."

Eh?!

Persona being erased...

Turning into a deus ex machina...

What was this all about? Hiri couldn’t help but show a bewildered expression, she vaguely sensed that this guy had encountered some terribly tricky trouble, which led to such a massive ordeal, but never imagined the trouble would be this dire!
