Chapter 425: Interlude - Escape (2)
Kwon Oh-Jin murmured faintly under his breath, “Sacred Ground...”
I see. That’s what it was.
“You anticipated this,” Kwon Oh-Jin said.
The Celestials defying the Law and deploying their Sacred Grounds to protect their children. They would cast aside their past regrets and take a step forward for the sake of the future.
The Heavenly Demon had anticipated all of it. No, anticipate wasn’t the right word.
“It would be more accurate to say that you knew this would happen, right?”
Unlike Kwon Oh-Jin, the Heavenly Demon was a true Regressor who had literally turned back time.
Even if he had lost a great amount in the process, he hadn’t forgotten the most important thing. In fact, by carving away unnecessary memories, he had sharpened himself for one single deadly strike.
The Heavenly Demon shrugged casually at the Celestials’ Sacred Grounds. “It was actually a really close call when it happened the first time in the past. I mean, I still won in the end by dragging it on, but just barely. And hey, once is enough for that kind of suffering, don’t you think?”
Vega’s golden eyes blazed with fury. “You mean to tell me you used Mobius for something so trivial?!”
Her furious roar echoed through the void.
The image of Mobius clutching that cheap, apple pendant and screaming in despair flashed before her. To exploit such a cruel tragedy and bottomless grief as a mere tool was unbelievable.
