I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Fred's attack not only pierced Anno's chest, but also left a large hole in the chest of Liz, who was being held in Anno's arms.

Liz's major organs were mostly broken.

The reason it didn't die instantly was because the life force of a ninth-tier cultivator is slightly more tenacious.

"Master, I'm sorry!"

A tear rolled down Liz's cheek. She wanted to apologize to Anno, who was calling out to her, but she simply didn't have the strength to open her mouth.

In Liz's view, Anno's fatal wound was entirely his own doing.

If it weren't for saving her, Anno wouldn't have needed to face the three lower-level gods directly.

Liz was filled with remorse and regret.

As a contracted entity, it failed to abide by the rule that its master's life comes first.

She should have committed suicide as soon as she was caught.

That way, Anuo wouldn't need to risk his life to save her.

In the short time it took to think, Liz could no longer feel her body, her eyelids became heavy, and her vision began to blur.

But at that moment, Liz suddenly saw a white light float out of Anno's hand and form the shape of an angel above Anno's body.

Her holy wings spread open, revealing a face that looked somewhat familiar to Liz.

"Is that Gloria?"

Liz had met Gloria and heard Anno talk about her.

When Liz saw the angel bend down and hold Anno in her arms, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you for saving your master!"

......

Enveloped in pure white holy light, Anno suddenly felt as if he had regained control of his body and his strength.

Realizing what had happened, Anuo quickly got up and looked at his chest. To his surprise, the fatal wound had completely healed!

But Anno didn't bother to investigate his own condition at that moment.

Because in Anno's view, his first contracted creature, and the one that had been with him the longest, Liz's health points had reached zero!

"No!"

Anno knelt beside Liz, carefully lifting her upper body, and tried to cover her wound with his right hand.

But how do you cover a wound that has almost ripped open your chest?

"How could this happen?"

Anno looked down at Liz's blood-stained face and felt as if something was pressing down on his heart.

Liz had been by his side all along. Although Anno had never explicitly said it, among all the contracted entities, Liz held a place in Anno's heart that no one else could replace.

Anno loved Lis very much, but he didn't say it out loud.

He also felt that as long as they were together, there was no need to talk about it.

But now Anno regrets it.

He really wanted to tell Liz the words "I love you" in person.

However, the intense grief caused Anno to lose her voice somewhat.

He opened his mouth several times to speak to Liz, but no sound came out.

Then, the thing Anno could least accept happened—a semi-transparent ball of light floated out from Liz's body.

Upon seeing the ball of light, Anno was instantly stunned.

On the distant battlefield, there were many translucent orbs of light.

After a ninth-tier deity dies, their soul becomes semi-transparent!

Liz's soul drifted away, signifying her eternal departure from Anno.

Swish~!

Because of the protection of the [Sacrificial Spirit], Liz's soul was absorbed by Anno as soon as it floated out.

If Anno wanted to, he could sacrifice his soul and Liz's body to resummon a succubus that looked exactly like Liz.

But the summoned Liz has no memory!

Even if she is summoned, she will only be a substitute.

Once someone is dead, they are dead.

It is meaningless to merely revive a body without memories.

......

"Phew~, that scared me to death. I thought I had really killed Anuo."

Fred, who had already run some distance, turned back after seeing Anno recover from his injuries using some unknown method.

Since Anno is alright, their plans will proceed as scheduled.

They kidnapped Anno.

"Unforgivable!"

Anno knelt on the ground, holding Liz's body, and suddenly looked up at the three gods flying towards him.

Although Anno's injuries had healed, he was still very weak.

However, the cross-shaped beast eye in his left eye and the golden eye in his right eye are now shining brightly.

Especially the cross-shaped beast eyes, the scarlet light of which resembled a wild beast ready to devour its prey, filled with primal, bestial killing intent.

Both the Death Perception Domain and the Evil King Domain had been shattered by Fred while he was stalling for time.

But at this moment, as if sensing the boundless rage in Anno's heart, the two demonic eyes rapidly absorbed the magic power from Anno's body.

As Fred approached, he saw a huge, illusory demonic eye appear behind Anno.

Above Anno, there were also phantom images of the Blood Moon and the Bright Moon.

"Haven't I already shattered his territory?"

Fred had already seen Anno's domain before, so he recognized it at a glance.

But after he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

"How is this possible? A domain has actually appeared in the main space?"

Kito, who had collapsed nearby due to severe injuries and was unable to continue fighting, saw that Anno was unharmed, and a smile had been on his lips.

But when he saw the demonic eyes and the phantom of the moon surrounding Anno, Kito seemed to see himself in Anno as he watched his teacher being killed hundreds of years ago.

"I'm sorry, Anno, I can't help you when you're most helpless and desperate."

But at least you're still alive.

If the core of the world truly possesses the power to change the world, I sincerely hope that you, as the child of the world, will use this power to change the world.

To change this world that is perhaps too cruel.

The arm that Kitto used to support his body lost its strength, and his body fell completely to the ground. He seemed to see his teacher waving at him.

"I hope that in the new world, there won't be so much killing, and no one will experience... the despair we experienced!"

......

"Kill them!"

With his eyes shining, Anno roared, and suddenly thousands of summoned creatures appeared behind him, transforming into streaks of light that rushed towards the three gods.

These are the remaining summoned creatures of Anno's summoned legion, and he has summoned them all to his side at this moment.

The others had already perished in the battle just now and while resisting the god-level powerhouse.

"Roar~!"

The summoned creature that appeared beside Anno roared and began to cast [Fusion]!

A ninth-tier peak summon is simply no match for a god-level powerhouse.

Their only option now is to combine and strengthen their combat power.

"Master, we must retreat!"

Adelaide and her men approached Anno, grabbed him, and took Liz's body, preparing to leave.

She, Geng Qingxue, Macaros, and the others had just rushed to Anuo's side while the three gods left, mistakenly believing Anuo was dead.

Everyone was heartbroken upon learning of Liz's death.

However, they currently lack the strength to fight against three god-level beings.

Even those thousands of summoned creatures couldn't kill the three gods!

"Where do you want to run?"

Fred, worried that things would drag on for too long, rushed after Anno.

This was a race against time, and the summoned creatures nearby, in a state of [hyperboundary limit], were desperately trying to stop Fred.

But many couldn't keep up with Fred's speed.

Besides Fred, there are also Leopold and Gallagher.

The two of them can basically kill a bunch of fused summons with a single skill.

The two sides are simply not matched in combat strength.

"Anno, this ends here!"

Fred flew down from above Anno's head to the front, his gaze fixed on Anno.

Anno's condition was somewhat abnormal at this moment.

The phantom of the demonic eye, as well as the phantoms of the blood moon and the bright moon, appeared and disappeared around Anno.

Anno was driven to madness by rage. He glared at Fred and said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't kill me today, I will destroy you in the future!"

Fred frowned, but quickly smiled dismissively, "You don't have that chance."

He won't kill Anno.

But Anno will definitely not have an easy time in his hands.

Fred would not give Anno the chance to kill him.

"Get out of here!"

A clear, crisp sound rang out, and then a white-haired woman appeared in front of Anno.

Swish!

With a casual gesture, Philomena summoned the Divine Throne to appear before her.

After glancing back at Anno's condition and finding that Anno was alright for the time being, Philomena felt relieved.

"We finally made it! Thank goodness you're alright!"
