Chapter 288: Sacrifice and Fall
At this moment, the karst cave deep underground looked as if it had been torn apart by an ultimate divine power. A massive fissure had burst through the ceiling, allowing a direct view of the azure sky outside.
A beam of pure light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the entire underground space.
Ansu looked up to see Gulzan in mid-air, already beginning to merge. His body was as dazzling as a blazing sun.
At the same time, Leon's body gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into a soft halo of light. He slowly ascended, following the direction of Gulzan.
A familiar voice echoed directly within Ansu's heart.
“Ansu Morris? So that's your name.”
Ansu couldn't help but be surprised. “Leon? Why can I hear your voice?”
Leon's voice was calm. “There is no 'why.' Since he and I were originally one, within this land of faith, I am a deity at this moment—even if I can only be a god for these dozen or so seconds.”
He then whispered a gentle instruction, “I'll go on ahead. However, I predict that the power of the divine realm shattering will trigger a violent earthquake. Be careful and find a place to hide.”
