Everyone felt a glimmer of hope when they realized the light film was protecting them.
Just a moment ago, they had all been grimly resigned to their death.
But now it seemed all was not lost after all!
"Is it Zen? Has he come to rescue us?"
"Zen!"
"Father!"
Each person in the group called out.
There was no response from the voice they were expecting to hear.
A mocking voice rang out instead.
"Finally, you decided to appear," the downgrader taunted. "But you won't be able to change their fate. Hahaha!"
Rumble!
A thin spike shot out from a purple light ball. The spike spun wildly, gathering momentum before stabbing at the pale yellow light film.
The pale yellow light film was condensed from the Energy Transfer Extreme Form, which could easily isolate, transfer, and gather all kinds of energies. But it was vulnerable to piercing. The sharp spike entered the light film with only a slight twist.
"Auntie, watch out!"
As the spike headed toward Yan, Geoffrey threw his whole body in front of her, exposing his back so the spike would hit it instead.
Phew!
The spike skewered Geoffrey's shoulder, baring his bones.
"Ahhh!"
Geoffrey's face contorted in pain, but he remained in place, blocking Yan.
"Geoffrey!"
Yan felt her heart drop. It was unbearable seeing Geoffrey suffer for her.
Buzz!
Despite her exhaustion, Yan once again used her Energy Shaft to try to control the purple spike.
To her dismay, however, she found that she could not. She had been able to control the purple light balls before when they had been owner-less. But now, the purple spike was under the control of the downgrader. Yan's Energy Shaft couldn't wrest control at all.
Geoffrey gritted his teeth and hissed as the spike continued to sear through his flesh, blood, bones, and his insides.
The others could only despair at the sight. They were completely helpless. They knew if they came into contact with the Destruction Extreme Form, they would turn into ashes. Only Geoffrey's extremely strong physique could endure it.
"This is your son, isn't it?
Can you really bear to see him slowly melt away and die in agony?
What kind of father are you?"
The downgrader had no empathy, but he could read the memories of those gathered here and figure out Zen's thoughts.
Green ripples started covering Geoffrey's body as the Life Extreme Form energy worked double-time to heal him even as he continued to endure grievous injury.
The pale yellow light film started unraveling, its threads extending towards the rapidly spinning purple spike.
The Energy Transfer Extreme Form merged with the Destruction Extreme Form, dulling the latter's power.
"Hahaha!"
The downgrader's laughter echoed.
He had been able to suppress Zen before. He just needed to do it again.
Purr, purr, purr!
Countless purple spikes shot out of the purple light balls, heading straight at the pale yellow light film from all directions.
But before the spikes could penetrate the film, a blue light flashed.
Those trapped were suddenly teleported away, from that cramped space in one moment to the fairy palace in the next moment.
The fairy palace, located in the core area, hadn't been affected by the Troubled Creatures.
Rocher, the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, Yan, Hilario, as well as dozens of people including Lorena, Mike, Bromley and Rosie who had originally stayed in the divine land arrived at the same time by Grand Teleportation.
"Why are we here?"
"Yan! Why do you look so pale?"
"Where is Zen?"
