The story of Green and Aloof began from the moment they arrived in a different world. At that time, Aloof and his companions were attacked by a fire dragon, and just as their army was about to be obliterated, Green saved them. It was not just the gratitude for being saved, but also the appearance Green revealed when his clothes were burned by the fire dragon that captivated Aloof's heart.
However, Aloof had always felt like a mere decoration, unable to contribute in any way. He was always protected on the outskirts of the battlefield, never able to lend a hand. Sometimes, Aloof envied Lilith and the others for their powers. They may not have been as powerful as Green, but at least they could assist him.
Now, a crisis appeared for Green, and what did it mean for her? Feelings of frustration and powerlessness surged like a flood in Aloof's heart. In this moment, Aloof detested his own helplessness.
"The gate is about to open, everyone prepare to enter. We don't know how long we can hold on!" The white gate gradually solidified and finally reached the point of usability.
Seeing this, Saro Uth's eyes narrowed, and he rushed in first, followed closely by Gothner and Clitz. The three entered the gate and were transported to the other side, leaving the Light God and Elson feeling somewhat exhausted.
"Hurry, you two!"
Lilith reached down and touched her chest, her eyes immediately filled with flames as she stepped into the gate with determination. Mio followed suit, followed by Elza. Tia was also ready to enter, but she noticed Aloof next to her, and her beautiful brows lightly furrowed.
"Aloof." Tia called out softly before walking over and grabbing Aloof's hand. Their eyes, as uncertain as blue gemstones, met, and then Tia showed a warm smile.
"You are the inheritor of the Goddess of Life. Believe me, you can definitely help Green!"
No one knew where Tia's confidence came from. However, at this moment, there was no need to know the reason. They would either succeed or fail together. They couldn't let Green face everything alone, he would feel lonely too.
Tia understood this, so she didn't care about Aloof's dim, despairing eyes. She pulled Aloof, who hadn't yet reacted, towards the gate, and their figures disappeared into it.
Now, the only ones left were Yuzuriha, the Light God, and Elson.
"Miss Yuzuriha, please enter quickly! We can't hold on much longer!"
Even with Yuzuriha's power as support, their bodies could not endure much longer. Therefore, they wanted Yuzuriha to enter while they still had the strength. In their eyes, Yuzuriha was the most powerful among them.
In fact, this was true. Yuzuriha's actions in the following moments reaffirmed this.
"Leave it to me."
Yuzuriha walked over and placed her hand on the gate, instantly causing the dim gate to solidify once again. The pressure on the Light God and Elson disappeared in an instant. Sensing the change in the gate, the two looked at the smiling Yuzuriha with surprise.
In just half a minute, Yuzuriha had already learned how to open the gate from them. It was hard to believe, but it was a fact.
Yuzuriha smiled at them before stepping into the gate, and the gate lost its power and disappeared immediately.
The God of Light and Elson stared at the spot where the door disappeared, and it took them a while to react:
"Wait, it seems like we haven't entered yet..."
"Even if we go in, it won't make a difference. We might just get scolded by Green. Let's pray for them here instead."
"Haha, praying to gods, how ridiculous... When the gods are gone, who else can we pray to?"
The God of Light forced a laugh and then fell silent. But suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Elson beside him, only to see a longing expression on his face.
"And there is that person, the person beyond the system."
............
In the realm of the Supreme God, it has now become a paradise for the Golden Source Users.
Countless Golden Source Users launched attacks on the shadow in the sky, and the target of the attacks naturally was Green. Other than Green, there was no one else here.
So far, in Green's numerous attacks, the power of the source has been continuously consumed, and the eliminated Source Users would replenish this energy, but the overall consumption far exceeds the replenishment.
Fortunately, a few minutes ago, the descent of the Golden Source Users finally stopped.
In other words, as long as these Source Users in front of him are dealt with, there should be no major problem—dealing with these countless Golden Source Users that stretch as far as the eye can see.
"...This is too difficult for a mere mortal."
Green's body began to feel tired, and his mind gradually became weary. From the moment the battle began, he had never let his guard down, both physically and mentally. Because now was not the time to slack off.
Taking advantage of a momentary retreat, Green slapped his cheeks to force himself to wake up.
For some reason, Green found that as the battle went on, he actually felt a bit drowsy, something he had not experienced in the past decade. An inexplicable sense of drowsiness swept over his brain, making him want to close his eyes right now.
However, if he fell asleep now, he would forever lose the chance to wake up.
The source energy inside his body was in a strange state, restlessly resisting this drowsiness, but it seemed to have no effect at all.
"Oops, so sleepy..."
Green blinked his tired eyes, and suddenly a golden light appeared in his line of sight. His body instinctively dodged this attack, and his mind became slightly clearer.
Then, Green immediately realized that there might be something wrong with his body.
This drowsiness came too suddenly and was also very inexplicable.
But now there was simply no time for Green to think about this puzzling situation. Other than using the power of the source to repel the Source Users, he couldn't do anything else and had no other options.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of light cutting through the air was so piercing that it irritated Green, who was already feeling drowsy, and he began releasing energy aimlessly. Fortunately, the surroundings were filled with the figures of Golden Source Users, so even if he didn't aim, he could still hit his targets. However, this state gave them an opportunity.
Green's half-opened eyelids blocked his vision, allowing glimpses of the figures emitting golden light.
Green's heart tightened, his eyes suddenly widened, only to find that dozens of golden rays were approaching his body. He helplessly watched as the rays struck his chest, arms, legs, waist, face, and forehead.
The imagined pain did not come, and Green only heard a sharp sound like a broken string. Immediately after, the body seemed to be on fire as a burning heat emerged from all over, and the field of vision was also covered with a faint golden color, unable to see anything else, nor did he know whether his eyes were closed or if he had lost consciousness.
At this moment, Green only felt his brain heavy and sluggish, unable to even feel the presence of his body.
Fortunately, this dangerous state did not last long, and a familiar voice pulled him out of this predicament.
"...Green!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Green abruptly opened his eyes, and his fatigue diminished a lot.
It was Aloof who brought Green back from his dizziness. At this moment, her azure eyes were filled with deep concern, and her face displayed an expression on the verge of tears.
Seeing Aloof in front of him, Green was initially dazed, then instinctively reached out to touch Aloof's cheek. In that instant of skin contact, the soft and warm touch felt like an electric shock coursing through his body, and Green suddenly felt a jolt of clarity, his consciousness instantly awakening.
Immediately after, Green's complexion changed drastically.
"Aloof, why are you here... Huh? Yuzuriha, Saro Uth, what are you all doing here..."
Out of the corner of his eye, Green caught sight of Saro Uth and Yuzuriha in front of him, then he looked around and discovered that the Three Great Demon Kings and their wives had all come, instantly halting his desire to call out their names one by one.
It wasn't that he found it bothersome, but rather the occasion was indeed not suitable.
But immediately after, Green felt perplexed. How did they manage to come to the Divine Realm? One must know that although the gods had mostly perished, it didn't mean that anyone could enter the Divine Realm. From Green's impression, they clearly didn't possess this kind of power.
That aside, how did Saro Uth and the others three manage to come as well?
There were still so many Golden Source Warriors lurking around, so it would only be bringing death upon themselves. Thinking of this, Green's anxiety grew, and he quickly stood up from the ground and angrily shouted at them:
"What's going on? Why are you all here—"
Before Green could finish speaking, someone covered his mouth with their hand, not just covering it, but directly putting their fingers into Green's mouth, so that he could only make indistinct sounds. However, Green didn't rush to bite because the taste was somewhat familiar. He turned his head and saw Tia looking at him with a serious expression.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just stay here and watch!"
"Mumbo jumbo #×&%¥#@!!~..."
A ridiculous noise slipped out, and Green realized something was wrong. He quickly removed Tia's hand and then roared and yelled once again, trying to make a fierce and serious appearance, but his behavior and actions completely failed to make anyone take it seriously. The people around him completely ignored Green's protests.
Indeed, given the current situation, it was understandable for Green to be so anxious. Any man who truly loves his wife would react the same way. However, Aloof and the others were not foolish individuals who came to sacrifice their lives brimming with hot-bloodedness.
After just passing through the door and entering the Divine Realm platform, several people had drafted a simple plan.
"Leave the stalling to us, the rest is up to you, Yuzuriha!"
Saro Uth's face showed a resolute expression, and Green even faintly caught a touch of solemnity. Gothner and Clitz, who were left behind, also gave off a sense of facing death with acceptance.
The three Demon Kings had made their decision, and the best way to fulfill their determination was to not disappoint it.
However, the severity of the situation at hand could not be resolved by willpower and determination alone.
Green removed the hand that had been holding Tia's mouth shut for the second time, then gently pushed Aloof to the side. He walked towards them, to the surprise of Saro Uth, and then extended his hands. A semi-circular shield unfolded from above his head, followed by a deafening blast and a golden blaze that obstructed their vision.
The benevolence of the golden source granted them about ten seconds for their conversation, followed by a storm of fierce attacks.
The dome shield formed by the power of the source enclosed them, enduring the continuous bombardment from the source users. The roaring sounds and the golden blaze covered the sky.
Green struggled to maintain the shield and angrily shouted, turning his head:
"You must go, go quickly!"
Green's voice carried a commanding tone, making it difficult for anyone to resist, and Saro Uth and the others immediately showed hesitation. However, as his wives, how could they possibly abandon Green alone here, especially when they had already made it to his side.
"Hmm!"
A white door appeared out of thin air, connecting to the human realm.
As Green opened the shield, Yuzuriha had already opened the door.
"Lord Green, you and the ladies must enter quickly. We will hold the line!"
Unexpectedly, it was Clitz who said this. Gothner gestured with his eyes beside him. Saro Uth gave a heavy look at his granddaughter, Elsa, and then turned to Green with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have brought so many people... But since the situation has already occurred, we can only move forward. Green, you must take good care of Elsa. Even if I die, I will not let you off! Go quickly and survive!"
"Fuck you!"
To everyone's surprise, Green not only did not accept Saro Uth's request, but instead angrily cursed and kicked Saro Uth in front of the teleportation gate.
"Don't fucking act all sentimental in front of me! Get the hell out of here! Take them and get the fuck out!"
Shouting loudly, Green proceeded to kick Gothner and Clitz as well.
At this moment, it was impossible to tolerate them acting based on their beliefs. With just the three of them and their meager abilities, if Green were to leave, they would all be dead in less than half a second!
Moreover, everyone else at the scene had a chance to escape, except for Green.
Green was well aware of this, even if he refused to admit it due to fear. The fact was—the golden source users' target was him, an outsider in this realm. Green did not belong in this world.
Now, Green was continuously depleting the power of the source to withstand the attacks, directly losing the replenishment he gained from eliminating the opponents. The power of the source was rapidly draining, and it wouldn't be long until he was completely finished.
In reality, if they had not arrived, Green could have held out longer—although it was only a matter of dying sooner or later. But Green did not blame them; instead, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Being able to see the anxious look on their faces as they rushed over for me in the final moments of my life, it's a lie to say that I didn't feel anything. I'm a little happy... no, truly, very happy. There's no need for fancy words to express this feeling, the smile on my face that I couldn't restrain is the best proof.
However, happiness is real, and anger is also real.
Not even until the end can I let go of my worries, Green is also helpless. Now, all I hope for is for them to leave here as soon as possible. As long as they can leave this place, then they will be safe. The rest is up to me alone...
Just at this moment, drowsiness once again engulfed Green's consciousness.
