So that's it.

After patiently listening to the explanation from the Crimson King, the Pure White Holy Mother's blood-red eyes couldn't help but show a tint of understanding.

Her Pure White Embrace considers everything in the outside world as [Fear] and [Threat], then unfolds with the roots of [Motherhood] and [Goodness], providing shelter from fear and danger for the "children" while directly gaining their admiration and love.

As for the truth known as [Disaster Avoidance], it resembles the principle of her [Pure White Embrace], but unlike her, he did not suppress and obscure fear, choosing instead to escape fear at all costs and draw power from the objects he fled.

Given the somewhat similar operation of [Disaster Avoidance] and [Pure White Embrace], as long as the strange pillar god's fear of the so-called [Disaster] is greater than his fear of everything in the world, then he can withstand her embrace without a root cause.

So this is not a remarkably talented pillar god, just a waste scared to death by number 3!

"Ha."

With the Crimson King's explanation of his "betrayal," after understanding why her [Pure White Embrace] failed, the Pure White Holy Mother's interest in the thrush raven immediately vanished, and she averted her gaze slightly, with a hint of disgust.

"Wait... wait!"

The thrush raven screamed in shock as he noticed the once gentle and pale hand above his head now slowly revealed devilish purple-black scales in its palm, emitting a scent of blood and sulfur:

"Don't act! I can be useful! I can help you!"

"Oh?"

The beautiful yet ugly hand paused slightly, stopping its movement toward the thrush raven's head, the Holy Mother's face once more hidden by pure white light, asking softly:

"Lost child, what do you believe you can bring to me?"

"I..."

He really wanted to ask this crazy woman whether she was interested in Leon, and if she was, whether she would learn from the advanced methods of a certain master and directly target Leon's family.

But recalling the master who was held by the head by Leon and bitten inch by inch for two and a half months until dead, the thrush raven ultimately didn't dare to ask, instead stammering and saying:

"I know something about number 1... Eh?"

A light sound was heard, and just as he was contending with [Pure White Embrace], Omnia Cicada suddenly reached out and, with a hand marked by the beacon insignia as if traversing time, slapped the thrush raven's head, forcibly pouring in the image of Leon tasting the Dream Resting Master.

With the familiar figure entering his mind, the previously suppressed [Disaster Avoidance] instantly reacted, an unstoppable immense force erupted, shattering the white wax wings behind Omnia Cicada.

Then, amid the thrush raven's fearful yet "happy" screams, a normal Omnia Cicada grabbed his head with one hand, the Crimson King's shoulder with the other, forcibly squeezing into the scope of [Disaster Avoidance]'s effect.

Yet despite his wings being restored, the Crimson King ignored Omnia Cicada's salvation; scorching blood flames surged up from his shoulders, dissolving Omnia Cicada's hand into fleshless white bones, and burning all the way along the arm.

Damn it! There's no time!

Seeing the shocked gazes cast in his direction, as the Pure White Holy Mother was spreading her wings, Omnia Cicada was forced to grit his teeth, severing his aflame right arm, and leaving behind the cold-eyed Crimson King, instantly vanished with the power of [Disaster Avoidance].

Not even the root cause can stop it? Is this the power of [Disaster Avoidance]?

Completely unexpected how the two pillar gods, trapped like fish in a barrel, could escape right under her nose, the Pure White Holy Mother frowned deeply at the black holes on her wings.

Misjudged... Although that thrush raven is a cowardly waste, the truth it holds is indeed somewhat unusual, even if she realized Omnia Cicada's anomaly and preemptively activated the root for an interception, she still couldn't keep them.

No wonder number 1 is confident in letting these three pillar gods roam freely; faced with truth that even root activation can't stop, other masters would surely be caught off guard the first time they encounter it, allowing them to escape if they're cautious.

If it weren't for her eagerness, seeking a close interaction when they were distracted by those unconverted demons, even that Crimson King wouldn't necessarily have been caught. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Mother, they shouldn't be able to catch up."

Seeing the Pure White Holy Mother casting her gaze over, the controlled Crimson King immediately lowered his head, apologetically reviewing:

"I didn't get the chance to warn you earlier, that Omnia Cicada still had a mark from number 1 left on his hand. Based on my understanding of him, he probably never accepted your embrace, but waited for the opportunity to engage with the thrush raven since he wasn't confident about acting in front of you."

"It's not your fault, that child indeed caught me by surprise."

The Pure White Holy Mother lovingly stroked the Crimson King's head, speaking with a hint of regret:

"Among the beings below the masters, you four should be part of the most outstanding batch, although that thrush raven's courage is a bit lacking, his capability is indeed remarkable; it's a pity he couldn't be captured as well... By the way."

Looking at the Crimson King kneeling on one knee before her, the Pure White Holy Mother curiously asked:

"Number 1 just gathered so many roots, she shouldn't have had the time for other matters, so why did she send you to Ten Thousand Abyss at this time?"

"Mother, we were not here for the Ten Thousand Abyss, but for the Food God."

Food God? Number 3?

Upon hearing the Crimson King's response, the Pure White Holy Mother's face slightly stiffened, recalling the image of the one who remained unfazed no matter how number 7 wailed and begged, consuming bit by bit engrossedly, then asked with an upset tone:

"Number 3 is coming to Ten Thousand Abyss?"

"Yes."

The Crimson King respectfully nodded:

"The director of the Bureau is trapped in the Ring Time Mountain, he already knows about this, and he will certainly go to rescue her, passing through Ten Thousand Abyss on his way to Ring Time Mountain.

According to Omnia Cicada's judgment, with the Food God's habit of conducting thorough investigations, he will definitely come to Ten Thousand Abyss to see if he can gather intelligence related to number 1."

Ah, I see...

After hearing the Crimson King's answer, the Pure White Holy Mother's face concealed behind the Holy Light couldn't help but show an expression of interest, then smiled and asked:

"Child, based on your understanding of number 3, if I were to lead you all in ambush here, and attack when number 3 arrives, is there a chance of success?"

Ambushing the Food God? Taking me along?

Upon hearing the Pure White Holy Mother's idea, even in the controlled state, the Crimson King couldn't help but tremble fiercely.

"Mother! Guaranteed to die!"
