Chapter 887: Chapter 592: The Righteous Group Fight._2 Chapter 887: Chapter 592: The Righteous Group Fight._2 Seeing Colin leave successfully, Shana breathed a sigh of relief.

With her understanding of the effects of the “Space Displacement Card,” such a transfer would be very difficult to track without prior marking, even for her.

Its cutting was a true severance; ordinary methods simply couldn’t keep up.

Once he had run, they would have to start searching all over again…

And just now, she had confirmed that, apart from the scent marker she had left on Colin, all other traces had been cleaned by her, so there wouldn’t be any more issues.

It was also after confirming Colin’s departure that the intensity of the battle at the scene almost instantly increased by several degrees.

Previously, everyone was somewhat holding back to avoid injuring this “leader,” and many were more focused on Colin, to prevent any unforeseen ambush.

Now that the person had left, they had no more concerns, each beginning to exhibit the horror and dominance befitting higher life forms!

And while The Pale Colossus had managed to summon a few beings through the sacrifice of its “Disciples,”

compared to those with a stronger will to fight, they didn’t stand a chance!

The battle here, although not yet over, could more or less be seen heading towards an outcome.

…

Meanwhile, in a special little world, Colin’s figure appeared out of nowhere, and upon landing, he looked around.

The place was quite empty and seemed as if it had been scorched by a massive fire, appearing barren…

Overall, it felt relatively safe.

“Not right, I can’t say it’s safe, just that I always have the feeling… it seems like this place is connected to something that makes people hungry, and because of the scent of that thing, many beings are simply unwilling to turn their gaze here.”

Colin had some guesses.

Rather than saying it was safe here, it would be more accurate to say that it was the slumber of something even more dangerous to the higher life forms, which made it seem safe.

And with some remnants of the aura left by that being, they could easily cover up their own issues…

Next, he looked down and saw many footprints on the ground.

Sniffing the air, he could tell from the remnant scents that these were left by the survivors he had transferred here before.

“It seems like I’ve picked the wrong place…”

Colin mumbled, having chosen the most “safe” location based on his intuition.

Unexpectedly, he had arrived at the same place where he had sent others before…

However, he had not transferred the believers from the Aurora Society here earlier, and even if he had, it wouldn’t have been a big problem because the strangeness here was enough to hide them.

Then, Colin took a step forward, intending to check on those people.

But after taking just one step, his head spun, he became sluggish, and he staggered to sit down on the ground.

The various negative side effects surged up following multiple uses of the Golden Artifact in the previous battle.

“Huff, huff…”

Colin shook his head forcefully, feeling not only bad control over his body but also a great disturbance in his sense of time.

Fortunately, there was no danger here at the moment.

Even if he sat still, nothing could threaten his life.

He could endure and release these negative effects to the fullest…

He lay on his back on the ground, closed his eyes, and silently endured this dizzying discomfort, occasionally retching, until after an unknown amount of time had passed.

His body felt slightly better, and then, still groggy, he opened his eyes to find that he was no longer lying on the ground, but resting on a pair of thighs.

“Are you feeling any better?” a familiar voice sounded.

Colin instantly became alert, but after regaining clarity and seeing it was the female doctor from before, he relaxed a bit.

“Thank you, sister, I think I’m alright now,” he nodded and replied politely.

“No, I should be the one thanking you, if it weren’t for you… I might have ‘died’ in the literal sense.”

The female doctor said with some lingering fear, then checked Colin’s body:

“Your injuries, they should be okay now, although there are still some scary wounds, although they’re all in vital areas, it doesn’t seem like there’s heavy bleeding, so it’s fine. As for the rest, just be careful not to get an infection, and you should be alright…”

She paused, as if remembering something, and smiled, “But you probably don’t need to worry too much about getting infected.”

Having such close contact with the Extraordinary Ones, only now did she fully realize just how exaggerated their physical conditioning could be…

Regenerating limbs wasn’t an issue, let alone wound infections.

“Okay, I will be careful,” Colin said, nodding while lying on her thigh.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to observe her a little, as she had been previously selected as a participant in the “Disciple ritual.” He wondered if she had been brainwashed by something.

Soon, after confirming that there were no issues, he redirected his attention and adjusted his position, continuing to lie down.

Then Colin noticed that, aside from her, there were a few other people around, including the government employee who had demonstrated Sixth Level strength not long ago.

“Bro… I mean, brother, you made it out safely too, that’s really great,” the other said with a sigh of relief.

Previously, when the Aurora Society’s great being performed “God Descent,” he thought their chances of survival were slim.

He hadn’t expected them to actually manage an escape…

“I should probably thank you as well,” Colin recalled how the other had given him a certain “gaze” before being swapped, which had successfully resulted in Shana arriving…

Otherwise, the current situation would be a bit difficult to predict.

“I’m glad you’re okay…”

After speaking, he curiously asked about the situation on the other side, wondering who had come to the rescue and managed to pull them out of the hands of the Ancient God.

To his knowledge, up until today, there weren’t many with such clout on the “Light” path.

That senior employee from another company, or those individuals who had embedded “Light” within themselves to stabilize their power, they didn’t quite measure up in his view…

After all, we are dealing with an Ancient God here, even if it’s just an avatar, not someone ordinary people can easily deal with.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be at the brink of civilization extinction right now.

‘If only humanity had a few more powerful figures, it wouldn’t be this helpless,’ he couldn’t help thinking.

The only ones capable of exerting such force within the path of “Light”…

And excluding those people, the only remaining option…

Seemed to be just one.

The young man held his breath for a moment, faintly realizing who that person might be!

Someone with numerous representations, rarely known by many in terms of origin, gender, etc., but one thing was certain, a prominent person on humanity’s side, a purveyor of the path of “Light”!

“It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about them coming over anymore, you can survive here for now…”

Colin didn’t say much. Looking around, although the place was bare, he vaguely remembered storing quite a few things here before the disaster struck, as an emergency shelter.

“Are there other people here?!” the captain of the team that had first discovered Colin suddenly spoke up at the mention.

“There are… but I’m not exactly sure where,” Colin nodded.

Years ago, after killing someone and seizing the Spatial Displacement artifact from them, he had transferred a few people here during his escape.

Seeing their nervous expressions, Colin lifted his head from the makeshift pillow and sat up, soothingly saying, “There’s no need to panic, just tell them that you were transferred here by me, and they’ll welcome you…”

He understood why they were anxious.

In the post-apocalyptic ruins, although food wasn’t scarce, confrontations could still erupt violently due to potential differences in belief systems among survivors.

He briefed them on the situation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the young man hesitated, curious to ask about the person who had observed through him in that particular area.

But at that moment, Colin suddenly looked towards a certain direction as if sensing something. The others, noticing his abrupt gesture, also turned to look.

And then their expressions changed.

On the clearing there, light began to converge from all around, condensing into a pure, pale radiance.
