120: Abandon Sherlock and escape alone? I can't do it!

"Does that mean I, Su Chen... don't exist?!"

Before he finished speaking, his ten massive tentacles violently churned the seawater.

His enormous body unhesitatingly changed direction, preparing to rush toward Divine Summer at full speed!

"Big Guy!!!"

Aria's figure flickered instantly, blocking Su Chen's path. For the first time, her voice carried urgency and solemnity:

"Snap out of it! Do you know what Cthulhu means?! That is a God! A true Chaotic Evil God from Beyond the Domain! It is not Rlyeh! And certainly not trash like Enuoke!"

Enuoke, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: "..." (I'm an Awakening Level, dammit!)

"Even if He has only recovered a negligible fraction of His power, He is absolutely not someone you can contend with now! If you go back... it will be completely useless! He will kill all the Divine Summer people, find and unseal the other limb components sealed in Divine Summer... and then grow stronger and stronger... until He is fully resurrected!"

Aria's voice carried a hint of despair:

"Big Guy... listen to me... Blue Star... is finished..."

She took a step forward, her sharp spider legs gently tapping the water surface, her voice becoming soft yet full of temptation:

"Come with me! Leave Blue Star and travel to the vast and boundless Endless Sea! With your incredible potential and evolution speed, you are bound to achieve great things there and become an Overlord! Perhaps... in the future, you might even get a chance to take revenge on Cthulhu!"

Seeing that Su Chen seemed unmoved,

She immediately added, while glancing at Enuoke next to her, who was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks:

"Of course! If you can't abandon these... hmm... 'subordinates,' I also have a way. I can take the entire Iceborn Clan with us!"

Hearing this, Bearman King Enuoke was instantly moved to tears,

almost wanting to kowtow to Aria!

Wuwuwu... Your Excellency Spider Queen! You truly are a Living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering! Your great kindness will never be forgotten!

However,

Su Chen's calm yet resolute reply, like the coldest current, instantly extinguished Aria's persuasion and Enuoke's hope.

"Leave? Abandon Divine Summer and escape alone?"

Su Chen's massive head slowly shook. There was no hesitation in his compound eyes.

"I... can't do it."

Having said that,

He ignored Aria, his enormous body steadily continuing its turn, accelerating its crawl towards the south, toward Divine Summer! His ten tentacles stirred up massive undercurrents!

"Big Guy!!!"

Aria's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and a hint of... anger?

"You will die! Don't you understand?! Are those Divine Summer people... worth doing this for?! Worth sacrificing your life and infinite future for?!"

Su Chen's enormous advancing body paused slightly.

He didn't look back, but his deep and massive voice clearly reached Aria and all the Iceborn Clan members:

"Aria..."

"You are not me... you will never understand..."

"What Divine Summer... truly means to me..."

In that voice, there were no grand pronouncements,

only an unquestionable, bone-deep resolve and... protection.

Looking at Su Chen's resolute, massive back as he charged fearlessly toward a known deadly fate, Aria froze completely.

Her beautiful, purplish eyes were filled with extreme shock, confusion... and a trace of complex emotion that even she hadn't noticed.

She never expected that the Big Guy, who usually seemed greedy, afraid of death, and a bit despicable... would make such a "foolish" yet deeply moving choice when facing true despair!

"If only back then... someone in my Empire... could have guarded it with such resolve..."

Aria unconsciously bit her red lip, and an indescribable ripple appeared in her beautiful eyes—a remembrance of the past and a trace of deep envy.

She suddenly felt a little envious of... Divine Summer.

At this moment, seeing the master they had just sworn allegiance to stubbornly rush off to "court death" by confronting the Evil God, the tens of thousands of Iceborn Clan warriors looked at each other, completely dumbfounded!

"G-Grand Priest..."

Bearman King Enuoke looked miserable, turning to the oldest Shaman beside him, "W-What should we do now?!"

The Old Shaman hunched his body, his cloudy eyes watching the direction Su Chen had departed, and slowly sighed:

"Cough, cough... If our Master perishes... the Chaotic Evil God from Beyond the Domain will sweep across the world... who on the entire Blue Star can survive alone? Including my Iceborn Clan... when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact..."

Hearing this, the fear on Enuoke's face struggled for a moment, but finally, he gritted his teeth, and a flash of reckless madness appeared in his eyes!

"Damn it! Dying sooner or later is still dying! Since death is certain either way, we might as well follow the Master and take a gamble! Gamble that he can create another miracle!"

He suddenly stood upright, letting out an earth-shaking bear roar:

"Warriors of the Iceborn Clan!!!"

"Follow the Master—to War!!!"

"Roar—!!!"

The last trace of hesitation in the eyes of the tens of thousands of Iceborn Clan warriors was dispelled, replaced by a desperate, do-or-die resolve!

They roared one after another, transforming into massive Arctic Dire Bears, plunging into the icy seawater with a crash, like dumplings being dropped into a pot

, They converged into a white torrent, closely following that black, immense figure charging ahead, swimming bravely towards Divine Summer!

Beneath the Icy Sea, the undercurrents surged,

A desperate army was rushing toward a hopeless... Doomsday War!
