Chapter 1554: Standing in the Gu World
From the moment the alarm was triggered to the moment Cain vanished and the Prima Deity boy returned to his post, only three seconds had passed—but those three seconds were unbearably tense.
A slow wave of relief spread across the faces of the Faction Leaders as the strain in their hearts eased for the first time in hours. A small smile formed on their lips, their minds finding comfort in a single thought—the monster had failed to reach the Gu World.
This sense of relief was most potent in the hearts of Lady Azure and the Night Prince. The nightmare was finally over. Or so they believed.
What none of them realized was that during those three seconds, people were still moving through the teleportation formation. While the alarm had momentarily confused the visitors from other factions, the natural momentum of the crowd kept them moving forward. Dozens, then hundreds, continued marching through the formation, their figures disappearing into the portal—into the Gu World.
And among them was one particular individual.
A young man with golden hair and blue eyes.
His entire body trembled, his heartbeat racing as he moved through space at a shocking speed due to the power of the teleportation formation. Then, in the next instant, he appeared in the skies of an enormous, foreign world.
The moment his skin felt the air, his eyes darted around, scanning his surroundings with an almost predatory sharpness. Then, as realization struck him, a broad and cold smile spread across his face.
A deep, almost manic laughter erupted from his lips.
“Hahahahahaha!” As his laughter echoed across the boundless sky, something began to change.
His entire figure started to glow, and strange runes erupted across his skin, illuminating his body with ancient, pulsating light. Then, in the next second, the runes shattered—as if breaking away from an illusion—and the transformation began.
