Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

"[The mystical characters will fade away soon enough to allow the Great Sage to complete the transport spell.]"

"[Bearing three layers of Revenge Marks, you still cannot shake the mystical characters, showing their defensive power is immensely strong, far surpassing the level a demigod should have!]"

"[It will return to the Direct View Branch Association and use the magic array to notify the Prophet far away in the Imperial City...]"

"[No, given your terrifying rate of growth, it will plead with the Great Prophet to strike you down, then to imprison you, ensuring you’re forever trapped in a cage...]"

"[You furiously attacked the mystical characters; the Great Sage seemed unable to move or attack during the transport, just standing there coldly watching you as the transport light slowly enveloped him...]"

"[This place is a good half-hour’s drive from the Direct View Branch Association. If you allow the Great Sage to transport back to the Association, he will have enough time to recover his mana, use the magic array to notify the Prophet in the Imperial City, and even have the energy to refill the drained ’Sea of Knowledge Magic Array.’]"

"[Not to mention, the Great Sage might summon other Great Sages to launch a ’dimensional strike’ against you...]"
