"So you really hugged her?" In the hotel apartment in Barcelona, Luo Ling raised her voice an octave while holding the tea in her hand.
"Is this considered a consolation before the final battle? However, that was a hug of pure friendship." Xiao Chen pointed at the ceiling with one hand as if he was swearing to the sky.
"Look how scared you are." Luo Ling burst out laughing. She put down the mug in her hand and sighed softly, "Tasia is actually quite pitiful. She suffers by staying with you every day."
"You said that... as if I were such a bad person." Xiao Chen pretended to be aggrieved.
Luo Ling reached out her hand, held Xiao Chen's hand, squeezed it and said, "Actually, it's not easy for you. There's a beautiful woman in your world who allows you to do whatever you want, but you have to endure it."
"Don't talk nonsense, I never meant that. Don't you know that?" Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"I know, I always believe in you. But I have to put some pressure on you, otherwise you men will get carried away at any time." Luo Ling moved her head closer to him and said, "But... this time..."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen felt a little nervous when he saw her tone become serious.
"If I die, and you think Tasya is okay, then get along with her. Anyway, with your current level, it is not difficult to maintain her existence in the external world for a long time. You can even give her a real body in the future." Luo Ling said.
"We exist in both worlds, how could you die?" Xiao Chen said.
"Who knows the extent of God's power? Are you 100% sure that he can't trace us back to this world? After all, our souls have merged into one in two worlds. Maybe if we were killed by him in that world, we would become a vegetable in this world."
Xiao Chen stood up and walked to Luo Ling, letting her lean on him and gently stroking her hair. "Don't be afraid. Don't let your mind wander at this time. We will lose our composure."
"I'm sorry. I was distracted. But... But at this point, I'm getting more and more uneasy." Luo Ling suddenly hugged Xiao Chen tightly. Her strength was not great for Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen could see her arms trembling. She really hugged hard, very hard. "I'm afraid that in just a few minutes, maybe you, or maybe those other people will die in this battle and disappear from my world."
"We have made all the preparations we can. Fate will not let us down." Xiao Chen looked up at the night sky of Barcelona outside the window. "It's about to begin."
On the bridge of the Kingdom of God, Xiao Chen had already explained everything to Mao Kai. The latter solemnly performed a magic salute to everyone present, then cut through the space and disappeared on the spot.
Xiao Chen looked back at Luo Ling who was not far away. She nodded to him, indicating that she felt better.
Xiao Chen said to He Xiaoxi: "Then let's get started."
He Xiaoxi's eyes fell on the people around her and asked, "Are you going to say anything else?"
Xiao Chen pondered for a few seconds and said, "Everyone present here knows the significance of today's battle and what they should do. We have been preparing for a long time and we have no way out, so let's get straight to the point and let the war begin! Good luck to everyone!"
He heard all kinds of noises coming from the team behind him. Some were moving restlessly, some were praying in a low voice, and some people's weapons and armor were making slight clashes.
They must be feeling as worried and scared as Luo Ling, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
"Let's start. We're ready." Someone responded to him.
"Yes, we don't need the gods' favor, we will achieve victory on our own."
"My axe is thirsty."
"Your Excellency Archon, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"Xiao Chen, you will lead us to victory!"
These voices started out as sparse sounds, then rose and fell, and finally merged into one sentence: "Victory!"
Xiao Chen turned around and nodded to everyone, raised the Thorn of the Heart in his hand, and shouted, "Victory!"
Xiao Chen saw He Xiaoxi pursed her lips with a determined look, as if she wanted to suppress all negative emotions. Small light spots gradually appeared around her, and they seemed to contain huge energy. The light spots slowly rotated around He Xiaoxi, as if she was the center of a galaxy. When the light spots gathered to a certain extent, they suddenly exploded in all directions and merged into the slowly operating Kingdom of God Bridge. The magic arrays in the Kingdom of God Bridge that were originally operating slowly were suddenly activated by them and began to operate at high speed.
Xiao Chen felt the violent fluctuations of space magic, and the strong wind that appeared from nowhere began to blow their clothes. At this time, shields began to appear under everyone's feet, wrapping them up and isolating them from the violent airflow around them.
Gradually, a crack appeared above the pipe in the middle of the tower. Blurry light and shadow appeared inside, a scene from another world, but it seemed as if a thick film blocked the connection between this world and that world.
The energy gathered in the Bridge of the Kingdom of God began to shoot upwards, continuously impacting the membrane. The membrane became thinner and thinner, and the light and shadow behind it became clearer and clearer.
"Everyone, get ready. The bridge of the Kingdom of God is about to eject us." He Xiaoxi said. The people who were protected in the egg-shaped shields suddenly found that there was a large amount of energy gathering below, and then slowly pushed them upwards. This force gradually increased, and their speed became faster and faster. In just a moment, the people in the egg-shaped shields felt that everything around them turned into light bands. They entered a passage wrapped in white light and sprinted towards the Kingdom of God.
It was unknown how long this process lasted. In the gap of space, time seemed to have lost its meaning. Many people spent this transmission in chaos. But Xiao Chen, whose consciousness spanned two worlds, was very clear. He clearly felt that he was ejected to the periphery of a small world. With the help of the power of the Bridge of the Kingdom of God, he pierced the barrier of the world and fell into it. The moment he broke into this world, he felt a terrifying will disturbed by this action and was slowly awakening. However, with this feeling, he also anchored a direction and realized the location of the core of that will.
When the white light around them faded away, everyone found themselves in a very vast space. However, the appearance of this space surprised them all.
