Chapter 1562 Touching the Dome
Sure enough, Roan"s words made Clinbay"s group narrow their eyes as they looked at Giam. "How will you guarantee that we can head out as well?" In fact, that was the problem. There was no guarantee. When Clinbay"s purging organization tried to head out, they kept it a secret exactly because they couldn"t bring a lot of people or demon beasts with them.
Giam still insisted, though. "We didn"t leave you guys out because we didn"t want anyone to know. We were just afraid that everyone would try to stop us due to the risk. Don"t worry, we"ll be able to go out."
It was then that Vaz made a request. "Is that so? In that case, you definitely won"t mind turning off this protective barrier, right? After all, we can leave together. Don"t worry. If you can really bring everyone out, we don"t care about what happens to this world... or prison. You have no need to be wary of us."
"Nicely done!" Everyone thought at the same time. Surprisingly, Vaz wasn"t lying. Every single person or demon beast there wanted to leave as well. If this world being destroyed could guarantee their escape, none of them would try anything against Giam. They wouldn"t even care about the being who brought them to this place to start with.
However, Giam immediately rejected the idea, telling them, "I... can"t do that. I can"t trust that no one will try to intervene."
Clinbay snorted in response, saying, "Simply put, you have no way of guaranteeing your words. Very well. All we need to do to escape is feed that altar, right? In that case, we"ll get rid of you and help this "being" ourselves. I refuse to believe that this "being" would care about who set him free."
Clinbay wasn"t alone. He simply voiced the thoughts of everyone in that place.
"That"s true."
"We can even make our own agreement."
"There"s no need to waste time with these guys from the Light Seekers organization."
Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed in everyone"s minds through a Divine Sense message. "Kekeke! What a scene this is. Suddenly, everyone wants to help me."
Everyone immediately looked at the white altar in the center of the dome. As they heard that voice, the pillar shone.
"Are you the guy who"s locked here?"
The voice confirmed. "That"s me. It"s really impressive that it took so many years until someone finally found this altar. I have to give it to those angels. Their energy concealing methods are really good. The Light Seekers only found me through sheer coincidence while constructing a new foundation for one of their buildings."
Rean and Roan"s attention were immediately piqued after that. After all, they had seen someone from the angel races before. However, they didn"t say anything at the moment.
Clinbay took the chance to ask, "Can you really bring all of us out? As long as you do so, we don"t mind helping you with whatever you"re doing."
"Kekeke!" The being laughed in response. "As if! You guys can simply die together with this f.u.c.king prison! That"s your punishment for taking so long to find me. Tens of thousands of years bringing people and demon beasts with my Dust Materialization Technique, and only now am I getting out. If not because of my agreement with the Light Seekers, I would leave them to die as well."
Giam was shocked by the being"s words once he heard that. Wouldn"t that simply make everyone turn against them? However, he didn"t say anything as he believed that being had some reason to do that.
Clinbay"s group obviously wouldn"t take that without doing anything. After all, the Upside Down World would be destroyed to get this "being" out of there. "Since that"s the case, there"s no need for you to escape at all. Everyone, let"s destroy this dome and stop the process!"
Immediately, all the experts present there began to bombard the protective dome. Explosions of several types of elements made the entire area quake even more! No one was holding back at all. Even the s.p.a.ce Bending Realm experts were attacking the dome with everything they had.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*
Rean and Roan, obviously, didn"t do anything. After all, their power was just too limited with that cultivation level. On the other hand, they were relieved. If that being said that he would bring everyone out, then they would have a hard time stopping it. One must not forget that their quest required them to stop everyone from escaping... well, in fact, stop that being from escaping.
Several minutes went by, and the underground area was crumbling all over the place. However, the expressions on Clinbay"s groups were turning even worse. That"s because the protective dome around the pillar didn"t even receive a single scratch. All their combined effort wasn"t enough to achieve anything at all. Eventually, seeing that they were not getting anywhere, the attacks stopped.
"Kekeke! What a bunch of ants. Even though I don"t have a tenth of my original power, this is more than enough to hold all of you back."
Clinbay ignored that voice and looked at Giam, saying, "Giam, this guy obviously wants everyone dead. Even if he brings you out of Upside Down World, he would most likely kill your group as well."
The being obviously heard that. However, he didn"t mind it. "Kekeke! Now then, Giam. Which one would you like to try? Give up on helping me and never getting out, or help me, get out, and perhaps I won"t kill you at all?"
Giam and the other elders didn"t need to think twice. They had obviously thought about this possibility in the past. However, they still preferred to give it a try than wither in this place until their corpses rot. "Clinbay, there"s no need to persuade us anymore. We have all made up our minds that we will follow his wishes."
Lutik shook his head in response, telling Clinbay, "Clinbay, it"s impossible to change their minds. Instead, let"s keep attacking. This dome will fall eventually."
"Kekeke! Go ahead. It"s very entertaining seeing some ants struggling."
Clinbay and everyone else were nervous. It truly didn"t seem that they would break this dome today or any other day in the future.
However, it was then that something changed as Havek brought Rean and Roan with him nearer to the dome.
Rean and Roan then touched the dome before snorting. "Hmph! Let"s see if you can stop this, then."
