Stepping into Voranthos, it was a familiar sensation again.

But this time was different from the last.

With the energy support of the Demon God, he and Sally were not limited to choose only three time nodes.

This also meant...

This time he could dive directly into Voranthos to find the other two missing parts of Sally’s Divine Pattern.

He could even go to any node within Voranthos to arrange his plans.

And the first stop.

Aster Grant chose the time node where Sally’s perception was strongest and stepped in.

Boom——!

Deafening roars instantly filled Aster Grant’s perception.

The air, thick with the scent of blood and burnt flesh, rushed toward him.

He appeared on a battlefield.

Here, the earth was shattered, stars burned, and the area was covered with space fractures like spider webs.

The sky was stained a murky dark red, akin to an impending apocalypse.

Five figures emanating boundless malice, like nightmares for the entire world.

When Aster Grant saw the five figures clearly, his pupils constricted.

It seemed he had arrived at the time node of the Demon God invasion.

And at this moment, appearing in the sky were five Demon Gods!

Among these five Demon Gods was one he had recently defeated...

Demon God Valley!

And opposite them...

A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon several thousand feet long, was now bathed in blood.

Its dragon scales had largely been stripped away, revealing charred bones and flesh underneath.

One dragon claw was missing, and its abdomen bore a terrifying wound that almost tore it apart, the dragon blood flowing out stained the shattered earth below.

It was the Dragon Emperor, the strongest being in Alternate Space.

But now it was barely breathing.

Behind the Dragon Emperor was devastation.

The nine Pseudo-God auras fighting alongside him had gradually faded, most extinguished.

Only the battle marks left behind indicated they once existed.

The only one in slightly better condition was an elf with damaged light wings, struggling to maintain the Law of Life.

And she was an old acquaintance of Aster Grant.

The Elf Queen!

However, at this moment, the Elf Queen appeared to have reached her limit, continuously bleeding pale gold from the corners of her mouth.

Then Aster Grant’s gaze fell not far away.

There, a figure knelt.

She wore a pale gold palace dress stained with blood and dust, her long hair messy, her exquisite face now without color.

The originally dazzling pale gold dragon eyes contained only despair and numbness.

She was Isabelle.

At this moment, her Cultivation had reached Totem Ninth Tier, only a step away from becoming a Pseudo-God.

But it was this very distance that prevented her from participating in battles among the Divine Level.

She could only watch her father be besieged by five Demon Gods, nearing death.

Could only watch as the mentors she knew well burned their essence, fighting with everything they had.

Could only watch Alternate Space being invaded by the Demon Gods, lives ruined.

"Father... Emperor..."

She muttered unconsciously, tears long dried.

Just then, Aster Grant’s figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Isabelle was first perplexed, seemingly not realizing someone had appeared next to her.

But when she dazedly lifted her head and saw Aster Grant’s face, her hollow pupils sharply shrunk.

That face... That face!

Though the demeanor and expression were entirely different, she would never mistake it!

It was that man!

The one who had once told her father that the Demon Clan was about to invade!

"Is... it you?!"

Isabelle was filled with disbelief, as if fearing this was just a dying hallucination.

Aster Grant looked at the despairing Isabelle.

At this moment, she had completely grown up.

From a mischievous child to now a qualified Princess of the Dragon Clan.

Only now, she was fragile like a flickering candle.

Completely different from the later despairing Isabelle!

"I beg you! Please save my father! Save this world!"

Isabelle, as if grasping her last straw, suddenly pounced by Aster Grant’s feet.

Disregarding her dignity, she grabbed his hem and lifted her face stained with blood and tear marks, pleading with all her strength:

"As long as you can save them, I’m willing to do anything!"

"My life, my soul, everything of mine can be yours! Please!"

Seeing this, Aster Grant froze abruptly.

He suddenly remembered Isabelle had previously told him.

She begged him once!

That was her only time asking someone!

But Isabelle had initially said she had prayed to the Savior of Alternate Space.

But Isabelle’s current demeanor made Aster Grant realize a fact.

The Savior...

It seemed to be him!

Realizing this, Aster Grant felt everything seemed to connect together.

Since he was the Savior, it meant the one who sealed the Demon God...

Was him!

At this point, he suddenly recalled.

The familiar aura above those nine Demon Gates seemed to belong to... Elara Crimson!

Aster Grant originally only intended to retrieve Sally’s missing Divine Pattern Fragment.

He wouldn’t intervene in this time node’s progress.

Last time he tried to stop the Demon God invasion, he realized it was impossible.

The great momentum was unstoppable!

Thus, this time he originally planned to be just a passerby.

But now...

He found himself to be a part of the historical process.

Aster Grant’s gaze slowly crossed over Isabelle and fell on the distant sky where the Dragon Emperor’s aura was weakening.

With his insight, he could naturally see that the Dragon Emperor was at his end.

Essence exhausted, soul severely injured.

He was entirely holding on with an unyielding will, about to completely fall at any moment.

"Boom——!!!"

When all causality began to clear in Aster Grant’s mind, a sudden change occurred in the sky above!

The previously weak Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, seeming ready to completely extinguish its Life Flame at any moment.

When Aster Grant appeared, those enormous and dim dragon eyes seemed instantly filled with their final light.

It didn’t look at the five arrogantly laughing Demon Gods, nor did it glance at the struggling Elf Queen behind.

Instead, its gaze pierced through the fractured space and landed on Aster Grant.

That gaze carried a sense of...

Finally relieved!

"Finally... arrived!"

A weak soul transmission filled with elation echoed directly in Aster Grant and Isabelle’s hearts.

"Father——!!!"

Isabelle seemingly sensed something, let out a heart-rending scream, and struggled to rush toward the sky.

But it was too late.

Just then the massive dragon body suddenly erupted with a radiant golden light surpassing its limits, like a final flash!

This golden light wasn’t meant to attack, but.....

Self-destruct!

"You old trickster, what do you want?!"

Demon God Valley seemed to sense something and shouted sternly.

But the answer from the Dragon Emperor was the earth-shaking, resolute dragon roar!

"Awrrr——!!!"

Accompanied by this roar, seemingly using the last of its strength, echoing heavens and earth.

The Dragon Emperor’s broken and battered dragon body suddenly exploded from within!
