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.
