Chapter 880: Chapter 589: The Ceaseless Descent of Terror. Chapter 880: Chapter 589: The Ceaseless Descent of Terror. Disaster survivors gathered at ground level, in the center of the square.

In front of the devout believers kneeling and praying.

A twisted yet sacred-feeling stone angel appeared to come to life at that moment, slowly unfurling its wings, and from beneath those wings, emanated the clear sound of a heartbeat, like that of an embryo’s, still unformed as a baby.

Along with the rise of the heartbeat, rings of gentle light began to spread…

Its tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, as if they could open at any moment.

Even though He had not truly arrived, a terrifying oppressive presence already covered the scene!

Everyone in the area, and even those farther away, felt this rapidly approaching, dreadful aura, recalling the earth-shattering calamity that happened just a few years before.

In that horrible disaster, the same suffocating sensation of despair erupted daily.

Almost two years had passed since then, and that kind of presence had not manifested much during that period.

Everyone thought those beings had finally left.

But unexpectedly, they had appeared again!

In an instant, ordinary people lost their reason and plunged into extreme fear, collapsing on the ground in weakness, shuddering in tears, or screaming shrilly, completely succumbing to an indescribable emotional breakdown.

Moreover, a section perhaps due to faith in the “Aurora Society’s” Great Will, or maybe being too close to the God Descent site, fell trembling to their knees, faces void of emotion, whispering indistinct prayers…

“How the hell do you fight this…”

The young man, barely meeting the standards of a Level 7 official strength, stared at the scene before him, his expression somewhat dumbfounded.

At that moment, he felt that he could stand there, closely directing his gaze at such a presence without dying, not because he was strong, but because the “Light” within him was special enough.

After all, numerous examples had proven that it could greatly preserve the sanity of lower-leveled Extraordinary Ones when facing various terrifying enemies!

Of course, excessive use could also make one’s emotions grow numb.

But compared to that, the young man was baffled in his heart, unable to understand how such a trivial matter could provoke the descent of “White Night.”

Only weeks before, beneath the wings of “White Night,” the “Second Disciple” and “Fifth Disciple” had been killed by three Ninth Level Personnel, in collaboration with several senior company employees, without causing a God Descent.

After all, what he did was nothing more than disrupt a disciple ceremony that didn’t even count as a final selection.

The entity behind one of the disasters had actually appeared…

Wasn’t this overestimating him far too much?

However, amidst his shock and unwillingness, the young man suddenly noticed something: “Why hasn’t He descended?”

Withstanding the overwhelming terror coming from in front, he struggled to lift his head, moving his eyeballs to look ahead, and noticed that with each opening of the immaculate stone statue’s wings, they would contract slightly, and those slightly trembling eyelids—it wasn’t so much trembling…

Rather, it was as if for some reason, it simply couldn’t open its eyes.

As though it was caught in a struggle at a stalemate.

And the reason for the stalemate…

Thinking this, under some intuitive guidance, he turned his head to look at the “young man” who had brought him here and then cast him aside…

Only then did he recall the words that seemed to hint at something before the descent of “White Night.”

It was as if he had been instructed to take care of the ordinary people and leave later?

He wanted to ask for clarification, but the oppressive presence made it hard for him to move, unable to even open his mouth.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly inquired using his still unrefined “Inspiration” technique.

“Can you escape?”

Although he had not observed any actual signs of combat, intuition told the young man that, were it not for this youth, that dreadful entity might have already arrived!

In response to him, Colin did not immediately answer, instead continuously fixating on the statue that seemed to come more and more to life.

Only after delaying by two seconds did Colin imperceptibly nod his head.

Compared to the young man, who knew nothing, Colin was very aware that this thing was coming for him!

Now, with his left hand in his pocket, he was touching the card “Time Reversal”!

If not for using this card at the crucial moment to hold the other back, bringing the scene into a continuous state of “Reset,” a disastrous event would have likely already erupted.

But for now, that was all he could do.

Because the moment Colin restrained the other in urgency, he also felt a strong oppressive force converge entirely upon him…

If he avoided it, that “God’s might” would erupt.

Everyone in this area, even the official Extraordinary One beside him, would not survive!

‘This guy, is he trying to confine me here with ordinary people? Either I run away myself and all the survivors die, or I move everyone away and I stay here alone…’

The former was the easiest choice…

But Colin chose the second: “No matter how you look at it, it wouldn’t be right for these people, who’ve barely survived disaster after disaster, to die here all because of me…”

However, right at that moment, the young Sixth Level official personnel saw him nod and seemed to make a decision!

“Then hurry and take those people and leave! I’ll hold it off for you for a while! Since His target is you, we absolutely cannot let Him succeed!”
