After yanking out Leon's heart with brutal force, and seeing the square-headed old man in his hand grin at him, "Evangelin's" face first turned red, then blue, and finally darkened abruptly.

The third generation director of the Bureau of Cleansing?! How did he... No! This is bad!

The meticulously planned source god version of "Black Tiger Steals Heart" not only failed to crush the Food God's heart, but instead grabbed a handful of filth. Realizing something was amiss, the Three Pillar Gods instinctively retreated, intending to clear some distance before re-strategizing.

However, if they couldn't even seize such a golden opportunity, then Leon and the third generation director, who were "master and disciple" in every sense, wouldn't survive in the present world.

You think you can touch my head and then just leave?

Seeing the third generation director pulled out from Leon's body, he flashed a toothy grin at the astonished "Evangelin," then decisively activated his source, using his square forehead to suck onto the palm of the Three Pillar Gods.

Having anticipated this, Leon opened his arms before the action commenced and gave "Evangelin" a powerful embrace infused with the color of the source.

"How is this possible?!"

Feeling the intensity of the source energy around Leon, which was several degrees higher than before, the Three Pillar Gods controlling Evangelin's body widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Weren't your powers poured into that anomalous object and taken away? How come there's still so much left?!"

Because I was never planning to use those three things, so I just added a tiny bit of source as a façade~

Giving a smile reminiscent of the third generation elder to the Three Pillar Gods, who still couldn't understand why they lost, Leon didn't bother to explain. Instead, he forcefully clasped his colorfully glowing arms together, clamping them like iron beams into the body crafted jointly by the Four Pillar Gods.

Run!!!

Sensing the determination to obliterate everything that emanated from Leon's arms probing into the mermaid woman's body, the wills of the Green, Red, and Black Pillar Gods dared not linger any longer, desperately trying to flee from the body.

But the mermaid woman, held back for who knows how long, wouldn't miss this golden opportunity, and with resentment intense enough to produce ten evil sword immortals, counterattacked from her shell earring, momentarily halting the Three Pillar Gods' escape.

In that fatal moment, Leon, with his arms covered in the hue of the source, was already creeping up to the boundary of the Three Pillar Gods' will, enveloping the Green and Red Kings' will in a rich colorful glow, blocking all escape routes completely!

We'll die! We'll die!! We'll die!!!

Facing the imminent lethal attack of the source, the three totally divergent wills reached the same conclusion simultaneously, painfully pulling out their last resort.

"Heritage!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The will of the Crimson Overlord suddenly "opened its mouth," spitting out a mass of unutterable fragments, laden with an uncanny connection beyond bloodlines, erecting a barrier before Leon's arms.

"Creation!"

Omnia Cicada's will clenched its teeth, with a heart full of reluctance and regret, mimicking the pattern by spewing out morphing fragments, equally facing Leon's arms.

Are these... the four "treasures" taken by the Four Pillar Gods?

Among the fragments spat out by the Green and Red Kings, Leon sensed a wondrous aura sourced from the same origin as before and intimately tied to the human species. Even though Leon intended to leave the Three Pillar Gods, he had to temporarily halt his attack.

Even to avoid shattering these crucial "treasures," rendering them unrecoverable, Leon proactively dispelled part of the source color, gathering the two kinds of scattered fragments into his palm.

Go quickly!

Succeeding in stalling Leon's deadly embrace thanks to the life-for-money maneuver they resorted to, the Three Pillar Gods, having collectively repelled Evangelin's will, hastily converged around the Black King's will, attempting to send their three gods' will back a day like they did with the baseline trinity.

Yet just when they were about to succeed, on Leon's arms, held back by [Creation] and [Heritage], suddenly "appeared" the silhouettes of three other humans.

Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo... In the face of the livid expressions of the Green, Red, and Black Kings, three soul-state directors, just like the third-generation elder, emerged from Leon's body, launching a crucial attack at this life-or-death moment.

Behind the three directors, a gray silhouette, brimming with the scent of death and having strength nearly approaching the Four Pillar God level, followed out from Leon's chest, brandishing a peculiar scythe-like weapon, slicing through the Three Pillar Gods' will at the waist!

Did you three seriously think I was ready for a fair solo? We almost got obliterated before, of course, I brought everything I could!

Giving a thumbs up to Emma, who had delivered the critical strike catching the Three Pillar Gods off guard, Leon secured the ransom money spat out by the two Pillar Gods, then raised his hand again preparing to capture these three gods who have been entangled with humanity for endless eons.

However, just at that moment, the black will representing the Old King erupted suddenly, instantly healing the wounds as if time had reversed, swallowing up the shattered wills of the Green and Red Kings.

Under Leon's astonished gaze, the swelling will of the Old King, carrying a surely sacrificial momentum, actively collided with Leon's arms, sizzling noisily upon touching the source's hue, dissipating more than half in an instant.

Yet, through the cost of having half its will eroded, the severely damaged will of the Old King succeeded in exhausting the remaining source hue on Leon's arms, forcefully breaking a gap through the ironclad encirclement.

"Go back!!!"

After unleashing a "soul-rending" scream, the Old King gathered its last bit of strength, pushing the shredded will of the Green and Red Kings through the small gap.

Freed from the constraints of the source color, the will of the Green and Red Kings immediately retreated through the reversed time continuum, vanishing from view, leaving no trace behind for Leon and the others to see.

"..."

You're really willing to pay any price... Oh well, capturing this troublesome time-element Pillar God without using hidden cards was already a gain.

Looking at the Old King who sacrificed almost everything to forcibly send away the two Pillar Gods, Leon frowned without saying anything. Instead, he clasped his hands again, capturing the withered will of the Old King, enclosing it completely with the hue of the source, and squeezed it into a palm-sized orb.

"Oh dear!"

Taking a glance at the colorful ball containing the Black King in Leon's hand, then casting a glance in the direction the Green and Red Pillar Gods disappeared, the third-generation old man with a handprint on his square head started pounding his chest, stamping his foot full of unwillingness, exclaiming:

"We were just a bit away! Just a bit from netting all three! How could this be... uh..."

Watching as the mermaid woman, having regained control of her body from the Three Pillar Gods, with bloodshot eyes, grabbed Leon by the neck, her furious shakes nearly snapping his neck, the third-generation elder who forged the [baseline] blinked then retreated back into Leon's heart with a slightly guilty look.

"You, you, you! How dare you? How dare you treat my people this way?!!!"
