Primal Fury Owl planned to slip away, no longer moving forward, giving up this chance to venture into the real world.
As long as it was willing to retreat, it could truly return to its Divine Realm, breaking free from the dilemma of being caught between the True Realm and the real world.
Once there, if humans dared to follow, it wouldn't just be able to strike down a single wave of lightning or fire a single Storm Bullet anymore; its held-back state would be released.
After all, that was its Divine Realm, where it could truly wield the power to control the entire territory and deliver wide-scale attacks. Within its Divine Realm, the number of enemies no longer mattered.
If those humans didn't pursue... then let them be.
"Just wait for . Next ti there's a chance, I'll definitely devour all the Rage Owl Star People!"
However, when it truly intended to retreat and return, it was shocked to discover...
It couldn't go back.
Originally, moving forward was difficult for it because it ant dragging its powerful divine body towards the real world. Every step forward was akin to trudging through the entanglent between the curtain of Hell's Abyss and the real world.
But retreating was supposed to be easy.
With one step back, it would be giving up the struggle with the curtain of different worlds and returning to its own domain, enduring loneliness and tornt.
Previously, it was sothing it wouldn't consider; but now, having taken a beating and learning pain, it wanted to leave.
However, what should have been a simple step back beca impossible. The 'path' back, the channel away from the state between the True Realm and the real world, had been sealed by so special force!
Why was this?
"Are even Evil Gods capable of fear?"
The voice that spoke sounded sowhat surprised, and this surprise seed to carry a tinge of feigned emotion.
Primal Fury Owl lifted its head and looked into the distance.
There, a small figure was floating.
It was too far away, appearing too minuscule. The entire body of that fellow was probably no bigger than a single one of its eyelashes.
Yet, despite the vast distance and difference in size, they could still lock eyes with each other.
In that gaze, Primal Fury Owl instantly recognized that this human was the main culprit blocking its way back!
That strange force sealing off its route of retreat originated from this person!
And this guy was still acting all high and mighty!
The infuriated Evil God, without any hesitation, summoned a bolt of lightning, striking towards it.
However, it missed.
A peculiar force obstructed its command over the storm. The lightning, which should have been as easily controlled as breathing, strangely beca sowhat sluggish at that mont.

And it was this brief sensation of sluggishness that caused its lightning call to miss.
Gu Hang, who had dodged in advance, stylishly directed the lightning descending from the sky to hit nothing. Underneath him, not even a single alliance soldier could be found—there was no collateral damage at all. It was a complete miss.
The more furious Evil God summoned even more lightning, striking towards the tiny human.
With its intelligence, it now understood that this little person was the leader of the humans. If it could kill him, perhaps it wouldn't necessarily have to retreat in disgrace.
"Since you dare to stand before , then die!"
For the first ti since facing humans, Primal Fury Owl sent a ssage of Spiritual Energy to its opponent using human language.
...
Of course, Gu Hang also heard this ssage, full of threat.
Far from being scared, he was even excited.
This was precisely the situation he wanted to see!
He had noticed that Rage Owl Evil God wanted to flee.
But of course, he wouldn't let it escape so easily.
If it succeeded in escaping, then why had he gone through all the trouble of bringing tens of thousands into the Divine Realm?
Why not simply deal with that Chaos Array and be done with it?
Letting Primal Fury Owl go might temporarily calm things, but it wouldn't decrease the potential future troubles.
Gu Hang was intent on killing it.
However, if the Evil God insisted on attacking fiercely, continuously bombarding the troops with lightning, that would indeed be problematic.
On one hand, the reduction in troop numbers, particularly the number of artillery units, once reduced to a certain degree, would result in decreased firepower, and more effort would be needed to finish off the Evil God afterward.
On the other hand, such a loss of troops was sothing Gu Hang was very reluctant to accept.
Especially the loss of Wind Falcons and Lion Tanks. These two, among the current regular armants of the alliance, were considered to be of the highest value—extraordinarily expensive weapons. One Wind Falcon costs seven thousand five hundred Tax Currency; one Lion Tank, six thousand Tax Currency. The alliance's monthly production combined for both didn't exceed twenty units.
Losing too many would take a long ti to replenish.
Thus, making his appearance within Primal Fury Owl's line of sight was deliberate on Gu Hang's part.
He intentionally let it know that the one blocking its retreat was himself; he deliberately provoked it.
He hoped that the Evil God would focus its target on him.
He had assud that it would take quite an effort. In fact, he had been prepared to take a risk by combining provocative words with the use of the ability "ntal Tampering."
It was indeed a risk.
No matter how much trouble the Evil God on the other side was in at the mont, it still represented a part—even if an extrely minuscule part—of the nature of Hell's Abyss. Using Spiritual Energy to probe the other's mind, Gu Hang feared it would cause serious trouble for himself.
What if, in the process of attempting to influence the opponent's mind, he beca influenced by the essence of evil power inherent in Hell's Abyss.
