Chapter 379: A Future Without Me (7)
Thanatos had never once opened her eyes while in the form of a nun. But the moment Keter declared he had found a way out, she opened them. Keter and Balt tensed, yet surprisingly, her eyes were no different from a human’s.Within her gaze fixed on Keter, though, there was an unmistakable obsession and an unyielding resolve to never let him go. A god who ruled over the absolute phenomenon of death was showing not negligence, but fixation toward Keter. Her claim that his very existence was dangerous was no exaggeration.
Balt felt a strange mix of relief and tension as he tightened his grip on his sword. Even if they had found the exit, there was no way they would escape unscathed.
I’ll hold her off.
The moment he steeled himself to ensure that at least Keter survived...
“Kuk!”
Balt was suddenly yanked into the air. Keter had grabbed him by the back of the neck and leaped toward the collapsing sky.
Thanatos didn’t move immediately, which meant Keter’s actions posed no real threat to her.
“...So that’s what it was?”
Instead, Thanatos let out a faint scoff.
“That attack earlier was meant to accelerate the collapse of this world.”
The Milky Way arrows Keter had fired but passed through her and exploded in the sky had hastened the world’s destruction, tearing open cracks between dimensions. And now, Keter was heading straight for one of those cracks, as if it were the exit. But if that truly were the exit, Thanatos wouldn’t have simply stood there watching.
