Chapter 1367 Abandoning Darkness for Light? What is darkness, and what is light?

Boom!

A blue beam of light shot forward.

The five-eyed attacker dodged upon seeing this, while the beam of light behind them swept directly across under Philus's control.

Many summoned creatures and dream thieves were affected, severely injured, or even killed.

"This guy was able to break through the [Petrification] state so quickly; his strength is indeed formidable."

Wu Yan watched as the pillar of light disappeared, then squinted and re-examined Philus opposite him.

【Petrification】is a superior divine skill developed by the Five Eyes after a thorough understanding of the laws of earth. Its effect upon hitting a target can be seen as the Time-Space Apostle's 【Time-Space Freeze】, but it was broken by the latter at an extremely fast speed.

Philus also stared at Wu Yan with a tense expression.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have been blasted into pieces by the enemy's subsequent attacks while he was still petrified.

Five Eyes, one of the high gods who initially sided with the second-generation Summoning God, was someone I had never heard of in the God Realm before, but judging from his actions just now, he was a troublesome character.

Philus couldn't understand why a powerful figure like the Five Eyes would be willing to pledge allegiance to the second-generation Summoning God.

Is it simply because the second generation possesses the power of resurrection?

"Five Eyes, with your strength, if you abandon the darkness and embrace the light now, the royal court will not only not blame you, but will also arrange a seat for you within the royal court."

Philius tentatively asked, "With Eichel dead, there's no one to replace him yet. I can recommend you."

"Heh heh heh... Abandoning darkness for light?"

Five Eyes revealed a disdainful smile and said to Philius, "What is darkness, and what is light? What is darkness to you is light to me, my lifelong pursuit and belief! And what I believe to be right, you obviously don't quite agree with."

"Is it simply because the second generation possesses the power of resurrection?" Philus frowned, angrily saying, "This world is inherently a law of the jungle, where birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order. The second generation's resurrection of the dead is going against the laws of the world. By following the second generation, you are only embarking on a path destined for destruction?"

"Pathetic, pitiful!"

Five Eyes shook his head, his tone filled with pity for Philius. "I do have people I want to resurrect, but the truth of the world is more important than that. With your strength, you are fully capable of discovering something amiss, but you haven't."

Therefore, it is clear that since joining the Royal Court, you have been under restriction and kept in the dark, to the point that you have not yet noticed the anomalies in this world.

Having confirmed this, the Five Eyes no longer saw any need to argue with the other party and began to gather their strength.

"In my opinion, the Dream Thief is on the right path, and the Second Generation is saving everyone, including you. I don't have the ability to do that, but any enemy who dares to stand in the Second Generation's way is my enemy!"

Having said that, Wu Yan's body transformed into a 30-meter-tall, five-eyed, ten-armed snake-man, emitting an extremely oppressive roar: "Mortal enemy!"

"They even have snake-people blood?"

Ignoring the ear pain caused by the sonic attack from the Five Eyes, Philus quickly retreated and created more distance.

The god-level snake-people race has extremely strong melee combat abilities!

An enemy with a mixed bloodline of the Five-Eyed Clan and the Snake-Man is bound to be stronger.

Whoosh!

A spell flew over from the battlefield next to us.

As if this were a signal, Five Eyes and Philus vanished from their original spots and attacked each other instantly.

Not far from their battlefield, Hicks and Lucius stood side by side, confronting the two high-ranking demon gods opposite them.

"Lucius, are you scared?"

Hearing Hicks's words, Lucius smiled and said, "As someone who has died once, my greatest fear is you leaving me!"

"asshole!"

Seeing the two showing affection in front of him, the Wind Demon on the opposite side angrily cursed, "A high-level god with a mid-level god as a burden, how dare you not take us seriously."

The Flame Demon roared, "Anyone who dares to disregard the Wind and Fire Demons will meet the same fate!"

As the words fell, raging winds and intense flames erupted from the two demons, merging to form a gigantic fire tornado demon. "That's death!"

"Roar~!"

The Fire Tornado Demon swung its fists at Hicks and his companion, the sound of wind blades and flames sweeping through like the roar of a wild beast.

Hicks threw a punch straight forward, the violent energy condensing into a ball of light. Then all the energy tilted forward, turning into a beam of light that slammed into the Fire Tornado Demon.

But as the fiery tornado confronted the pillar of light with its fists, several fire dragons rose from its arms, trailing tornado-like tails as it rushed toward Lucius.

Hicks's expression changed instantly upon sensing the massive energy fluctuations emanating from the enemy.
