Chapter 768: The Greatest Beneficiary
Chapter 768: The Greatest Beneficiary
"Sheva?!"
In the brief moment between her fifty-ninth resurrection and sixtieth death, the black-haired woman caught a glimpse of Sheva rushing towards her. She couldn't help but let out a scream as she struggled desperately against the crushing weight of the snow mountain.
Unlike the other tribe members, Sheva had rejected the blessings of the Earth and hadn't been absorbed into the Earth's Shell. She lacked the ability to infinitely revive on the Earth's surface, and entering this area meant certain death. Despite her best efforts to escape, she couldn't withstand the brutal force of the snow mountain and was ruthlessly sent to her sixtieth death.
As the black-haired woman resurrected once more in despair, preparing to witness her daughter's final moments, she was shocked to see Sheva standing unharmed not far from her, staring blankly at the sky.
The falling chunks of snow from the mountain above seemed to move out of Sheva's way, appearing elsewhere, and even created a sizable cavity to avoid her, ensuring her safety from the disaster.
"Mother..."
Amidst the terrifying catastrophe, Sheva called out to the black-haired woman, and her once-despairing and dim eyes visibly brightened.
She then sprinted at the fastest speed she had ever achieved in her life, picked up the bewildered black-haired woman lying on the ground, and rushed towards another tribe member. She began 'collecting' her fellow tribe members one by one.
Soon, nearly half of the Earthline Descendants had been gathered by Sheva, the female cleaner's mother. She then held them under her like an umbrella, protecting them as she moved towards the next target.
This is a bit much, isn't it?
Leon watched from above as the Earthline Descendants huddled together under Sheva's protection, trembling like chicks under a mother hen. He couldn't help but wince, feeling a toothache. He raised his arm with effort and paused the descent of the Hexagonal Snow Mountain.
Although this woman was a spy within the Purification Bureau and had been controlled to stab the blue-haired elder, she was still the mother of the female cleaner. He couldn't bring himself to harm her while holding her daughter captive.
Moreover, the cost of activating the 'Soft Meal' badge was to fulfill one request from the female cleaner unconditionally. She would undoubtedly want him to save her mother, so he had intentionally created a safe zone around her mother when he acted.
But now... this bug seemed to be exploited by her mother!
Finally, the most deadly Hexagonal Snow Mountain had stopped its descent, and more than half of the surviving Earthline Descendants cried out in relief.
In the terrifying catastrophe that had just occurred, even the powerful Tri-Race Leader had been crushed by the snow mountain dozens of times. The ordinary Earthline Descendants, being weaker, had likely experienced death and revival tenfold.
Being crushed by falling mountains hundreds of times within minutes was genuinely terrifying. At the very least, if given a choice, they would probably prefer a swift death over enduring such horrifying torture.
The Earthline Descendants were in awe of humans. They wondered how their ancestors had dared to fight against such a formidable race. Honestly, compared to competing with such a terrifying species for the Earth, returning to the Marrow Realm and staying there wasn't so bad.
"Your Excellency!"
Amidst the cries of fear and low sobs, the black-haired woman, covered in wounds, stumbled out from under her daughter's protection and called out to Leon above:
"I swear upon the Earth and in the name of the Earthline Leader, that if you allow us to return to the Marrow Realm, we will immediately seal ourselves off and never step outside again, until death!"
Hmm?
"Do you surrender?"
Upon hearing the black-haired woman's plea, Leon's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he immediately shook his head decisively.
"No, this condition alone is not enough!"
Indeed, it was not going to be that easy...
Leon had never expected to let them off easily, and the black-haired woman, upon hearing this, did not feel disappointed. Instead, she couldn't help but turn her head to glance at the other two Clan Leaders.
One of the other two Earthline Leaders was pale, vomiting blood profusely, while the other trembled as he tried to mend his broken limbs. When they met her searching gaze, they both showed a despondent and hopeless expression, and then nodded to her one after the other.
"Are you ready as well?"
After a slight sigh, the black-haired woman looked up and shouted again, "Sir!"
"My name is Leon."
"Respected Sir Leon!"
After firmly remembering the name of the man who had killed her sixty times, the black-haired woman bowed respectfully and said, "As long as you are willing to spare us and not exterminate the Earthline Descendants, we are willing to submit to you. We will accept your employment and that of the Purification Bureau... We can also accept some control measures..."
If that was the case, it was not unacceptable.
After causing such a massive avalanche, and having to avoid casualties among the Northern Kingdom's mountain-dwelling citizens, Leon's current state was also quite poor. His mind felt like a hundred feather dusters vigorously stirring, and his vision was filled with flashing lights. He also needed a good rest.
After nodding in satisfaction, he did not continue to set more conditions. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed at Sheva, who was protecting everyone, trying to maintain a stern expression and not show any weakness. He spoke in a detached tone, "Let her come with us. You can return to the Marrow Realm. When we need you, the Purification Bureau will send someone to notify you."
"Thank you for your generosity."
After expressing her gratitude, the black-haired woman turned to look at her daughter, her expression filled with guilt.
"Sheva... I..."
"Mother, I understand."
Sheva stopped the black-haired woman from saying more, biting her lip and hugging her. Then, with a forced smile, she said, "I'm just going back to my other home. You... take care of yourself..."
"You too..."
After swallowing the countless words that had rushed to her lips, the black-haired woman, with a hint of sadness, led the overjoyed Earthline Descendants through the ruins and into a lava pool, staggering into the path leading to the Marrow Realm.
As for Sheva, who was left behind, she watched Leon and the female cleaner with a complex expression. Her lips trembled slightly, and then she lowered her head, following the two without speaking.
After everyone had left, and the Earth's core, which had been devastated by over a hundred snow mountains, finally regained its tranquility, a figure suddenly emerged from a pile of black stones buried by stalactite fragments.
"I... I actually survived..."
Crow, not quite believing his eyes, blinked in disbelief. His nose suddenly turned sour, and large tears rolled down his muddy cheeks, leaving two muddy trails.
Those damn Earthline Descendants, they really deserved to die! Even worse than the Snow Miser! Why did you provoke him? If I weren't the Calamity God, I might have been dragged down by you and crushed to death by him... Boo-hoo-hoo, I've been saying for eight hundred years that the only way to deal with him is to run! Why do idiots keep getting in his way?
Hmm... Wait a minute!
As Crow clumsily climbed out of the stone pile, he felt the abundant and unimaginable calamity power surging through his soul. He couldn't help but look bewildered, his mouth hanging open.
"Holy sht... I've actually become a Pillar God?"
