Although Skyfire Avenue was the strongest, their Paragons were still only first-stage Paragons, and the Clairvoyant was nearing the end of his life.
Even if they did, Skyfire Avenue wouldn't be able to stop them.
The Eastern Alliance and the Northern Alliance were still far apart in terms of overall strength.
But now their enemies were watching them like a tiger stalking its prey. The aliens could appear at any moment. The Tournament was held to motivate Adepts to improve themselves. Even the Miracle Battle was held to encourage more mecha pilots to become strong.
Even DreamNet's upgrades were designed to increase the overall strength of humanity. There was only one goal, and that was to protect humanity from foreign invasions. Protect humanity, and ensure that it would be able to defeat the invaders in the coming crisis.
So even though the Terminator was worried about Skyfire Avenue's potential, he didn't dare go too far.
In his eyes, the Clairvoyant's legacy was the most frightening.
Lan Jue would at most be the next Paragon. Becoming someone like Jueti wouldn't be easy.
It was hard to say if Jueti was still alive. He'd become humanity's hero, and if he was left behind the Eastern Alliance's reaction would be fierce. The Northern Alliance would also be at the center of the storm.
Huali's decision was the smartest. She'd kidnapped the Northern Alliance, and forced them to send Lan Jue away.
Jun 'er, on the other hand, was different. Even at such a young age, she had demonstrated her Gift of Prophecy. When Lan Jue won the championship, just as she'd predicted, her place in the hearts of the Great Conclave and the Terminator grew.
That was why the Terminator had made the decision to leave behind a girl who could one day become the Clairvoyant. It was to avoid further problems.
That was the most important thing to him!
It was also to avoid harming the relationship between the Eastern Alliance and Skyfire Avenue.
At the same time, the Terminator had seen the Pharmacist's potential. Would she be able to leave if they left?
As long as they stayed, the others would leave.
As for whether they were willing or not, the Terminator believed that the Northern Alliance's wealth and technology would only be able to give them more.
As long as he had time, he would be able to move them.
Didn't the Epochrion choose the Northern Alliance in the end?
The Pharmacist glared at the Terminator, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"If you want to keep my daughter, have you thought about the price you will have to pay?"
Though she was facing a powerful Paragon, she didn't back down in the slightest. She didn't back down in the slightest.
"I'm sure you're smart," the Terminator said coolly.
I won't be the only one keeping you here. "
With a thought, everyone turned their heads to look behind them. One figure after another appeared in the air. The first to appear in their field of vision was the Spacetime Dominator, Huanxue.
She wore a veil and calmly floated in the air, giving off the feeling that she was a statue.
She wasn't the only one to appear. Others began to appear as well.
Hundreds of Northern Alliance Adepts were closing in from every direction. Titan, Yan Ningya, and the other Northern Alliance Adepts who'd done well in the Tournament were among them.
They had come with them.
Mechas appeared from three other directions as well. They appeared on the ground and in the air, surrounding Skyfire Avenue's Adepts from all four directions. None of them had an escape route.
Looking at the situation in front of him, it felt like there was no way to escape.
Not even if they had wings!
But even in the face of this, the Skyfire Avenue Adepts were calm.
The Gourmet's voice was soft. "The Major League is going all out. Four mecha pilots and so many other Adepts were deployed just for the few of us.
They really do think highly of us. "
The Terminator's voice was low. "Enough power is just a warning. Don't do anything pointless. It's because I don't want to fight that I'm using so many people to surround you.
I know you have a backup plan.
But I believe that no matter what you've prepared, it won't be of any use. Leave Jun 'er, Jun Yongye, and Xuanyuan Shishi.
You may go.
We won't make things difficult for you. "
The Gourmet laughed. "Compared to the Major League, Skyfire Avenue's governance is much more lax. But that doesn't mean we don't have a cohesive force.
As one of the Paragons of Skyfire Avenue, as long as I live, I won't abandon any of my comrades.
Terminator, do you really think that you can keep us here with just this amount of power? "
The Terminator's eyes flashed. "Not enough?
Then we'll need more. "
As he spoke, he clapped his hands together.
A group of mecha pilots flew out from behind him to appear before the Skyfire Avenue Adepts.
This time, even the normally calm Gourmet couldn't help but change his expression.
Behind the Terminator were Archangel Metatron, Sariel, High Inquisitor Constantine, and the rest of the Pontiff's Citadel's experts. There was another group, led by Lucifer, the Fallen Angel of the Dark Citadel. Jiang Yuan, the Dark Sorcerer, and Qi Mu, the Wolf King, were present. Even the Vampire Princess Lina was present.
Liliana looked at Lan Jue and the others with a complicated expression. But as a member of the Dark Citadel, she couldn't go against the orders of her superiors.
The Major League and the two Citadels had joined forces to deal with Skyfire Avenue. They'd gathered all their forces in a short amount of time.
It was clear that Skyfire Avenue wasn't the only one preparing. The Major League was doing the same.
And they were even more prepared.
"Is that enough?" The Terminator's voice was low.
The Gourmet's eyes grew cold. He took a slow step forward. "Terminator, do you really want to make Skyfire Avenue your enemy?
Make the Eastern Alliance your enemy? "
The Terminator's voice was low. "I've said it before. We'll be allies against the enemy."
The Gourmet chortled. "Allies?
Is this how we're supposed to be allies?
Let me tell you, this power isn't enough.
You may be stronger, but have you ever thought about what would happen to Luo if we were to go all out? "
The Terminator's face tightened. He hadn't expected the Gourmet, who'd just become a Paragon, to be so hard to deal with.
