Chapter 783: Then what are we waiting for?

    ?

    Alec stood up, causing his chair to skid backward as he cast a glance at Nine before turning his attention to Regius.

    "Then what are we waiting for? Getting stronger is something we need to prioritize, but we can''t just remain in this place while the universe is crumbling around us."

    Carcel rose after him.

    "We also need to return and check on the blue planet. It''s concealed behind a shield, but we can''t underestimate the dark side. They are attacking every planet; some of us should go and defend our home."

    Mia and Lara agreed with them. They had been getting stronger since they arrived in this place and blended with the demons. But they couldn''t always stay here while countless people were dying.

    Elli glanced at the two girls. She would undoubtedly follow them. She cared about Nine, but he was strong and could protect himself. On the other hand, she needed to become stronger so he wouldn''t see her as someone who needed protection.

    Her eyes glimmered with a determined light. She had successfully broken through to the divine-rank. Now, all she had to do was put in the effort to reach the next rank. Still, that was easier said than done.

    Sinon hummed softly, his eyes fixed on Nine, who remained silent. He then shook Jian''s shoulder, the second quiet person in the group, with a mischievous grin, causing the red- haired man to hiss in pain, as the discomfort from earlier-when Nine had pushed him into the Sea of Consciousness-had not yet completely faded.

    Jian glared at him.

    "What''s with you? You should learn to understand my silence. I will follow them. It''s not like me to be left behind."

    Sinon chuckled and raised his hands in surrender, hoping to avoid provoking the bristling man. At that moment, Jian was the strongest among them after Alec and Nine, and Sinon had no desire to face his wrath.

    "Don''t be mad. You know you''ve been the luckiest among us lately. You even found a beautiful golden pearl filled with the aura of nature when we were wandering around the Sea of Consciousness. I just wanted to make sure you were going."

    Jian scoffed confidently, fully aware of his incredible luck, rubbing his aching body as he stormed out of the restaurant. Soon, the others followed suit when they noticed that their conversation had begun attracting the attention of the demons nearby.

    Jian followed closely behind him and let out a loud tsk, successfully startling every demon in the restaurant and capturing their attention. The demons'' hearts thundered as their eyes locked onto the deep golden and fiery red ones, which stared at them as if they were already dead.

    The red-haired man flicked his fingertips, and an aura of pure spiritual energy spread throughout the restaurant, separating the space it occupied from the outside world.

    Jian bumped into Nine''s shoulder as he observed the demons who all paled.

    "I freaking hate snitches. Let me handle them; I am not in the best mood."

    Nine cast a glance at his tall figure before turning and exiting the lobby to wait outside the restaurant for him to finish.

    Jian didn''t disappoint; in just a minute, the entire restaurant disappeared, along with the many old and young demons inside, as if it had never existed in the first place.

    Feeling quite satisfied, he stretched his arms and approached the brown-haired man standing guard outside the space he had separated from the surroundings.

    Behind him lay a piece of devastated land as his spiritual energy faded and the veil concealing the area dissolved.

    Nine glanced at the shops surrounding the spot where the restaurant once existed and noticed the demons gasping in shock when they realized how an entire establishment had just vanished into thin air. He sighed.

    "How many times do I have to tell you to eliminate the people here discreetly? The demons you killed failed, but the ones who just witnessed an entire restaurant vanish will definitely

    inform their superiors."

    Jian chuckled and shrugged.

    "That''s something we don''t need to worry about right now. Come on, the others must be

    waiting."
