Chapter 1014: Time is Running Ou (2/2)
”It's obvious from Aethernia's trajectory. It is on a collision course with Elysium!”
Han Shuo's expression immediately changed. Elysium was the cornerstone of the Twelve Overgods’ survival. That was the area with the densest amount of energy in the entire universe. If it gets destroyed and Aethernia absorbs all that energy, the Overgods would have no hope of ever prevailing.
”It's just as dire as you imagine. The Elysium alone contains more energy than all the planes' she has destroyed combined. She will recover another third of her energy if she succeeds and nobody in this universe will be able to match up to her,” the God of Space said with despair.
”How much time do we have left?” Han Shuo asked, understanding the gravity of the situation.
”Around 230 years at the rate Aethernia is moving. We must make the necessary preparations and break the barrier during this time. The battle of the gods also has to conclude before that happens. Otherwise, nobody will be able to escape her!”
”It really is a rather pressing matter...” said a red-skinned man that appeared from a burst of fire. He seemed to be covered in burning flames thanks to the dense fire element that surrounded him and was even hotter than the sun.
”Chartrice, you came too,” the God of Space said.
”Fernando, I thought you went into hiding. Looks like you are worried about Aethernia after all.” The God of Fire smiled warmly and turned to Han Shuo. ”You're Han Shuo, right? I've long been wanting to meet you. I didn't think this would be how the first meeting went, though. Any thoughts of Aethernia's imminent approach?”
Chartrice approached him without reservation as he talked, bringing his heat wave with him. His two avatars almost buckled from the burning sensation. Backing off a little, he turned to Aethernia and smiled. ”What else is there to think about but a way to stop it?”
”Assuming there is a way at all,” Chartrice said with a mocking smile. He looked at Han Shuoh, seemingly a little disappointed, and turned back to Fernando. ”Are we helpless even after so many years? If we could somehow lead Aethernia to another universe, we wouldn't have to wait here like sitting ducks.”
”If I had that power, I would've left this universe long ago without caring if the rest of you would survive,” Fernando mocked plainly. He didn't seem too happy to see Chartrice.
A giant drop of crystal-clear water then appeared before Han Shuo and surrounded him before he could react. No matter how much he struggled, he wasn't able to break out of it.
A beautiful woman slowly stepped out from the void. Her skin was so clear it was almost see through and a frosty aura came radiating from her. She gave Han Shuo a disdained look as he continued to try breaking out. ”Isn't it a little reckless of us to place all of our hopes in someone like this? There's no way he'll be able to break the barrier even if given two millennia!”
”If you had any other ideas, Monroe, by all means give it a try. I will follow your lead if you can break the barrier,” Nestor said as he manifested with Cratos and Amon, staring mockingly at the Goddess of Water.
Monroe humphed and withdrew the water that had Han Shuo trapped.
