This was a hopeless case, and even Everlasting wouldn't be able to push the tides away. All he could do now was to preserve humanity as much as possible. They would be the future of the world later on and it would depend on them whether they could take back Immortal or not.
"Is there really no other choice?" Moonlast said with indignation. It was the first time they felt something so despairing in their lives. They had been sages for millions of years now and the world was safe because of them. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case right now.
"We cannot defeat them. Taking those overlords will already be hard for me especially Timedeath is present. If Visva and the other two hidden masters were to join the fray, then it would be impossible for me." Everlasting sighed and spoke with a serious tone.
"There are two more? Is one of them the Great Master?" Moonlast asked. He couldn't feel it that someone was hiding here.
"It's natural that you can't detect them. And no, it looks like these two are peak experts under their master." Everlasting said, "So just imagine. How could we protect the world in this situation? All we could do is to preserve humanity. At the very least, we would still have hope in the future."
"I understand." Moonlast nodded with a grave expression, "I'll be going now. Please be careful. Always think about your health. I and the other sages will be mad at you if you die here."
"Yes, go now." Everlasting chuckled.
"Buzz!"A gigantic circle below appeared out of everyone. They were puzzled as what's going on.
"You're gonna teleport these wonderful pieces of meat? As if I'm gonna let you!" Timedeath understood what was going on and of course, he wouldn't give them a chance. He rushed towards Moonlast to cancel the teleportation. Dynasty and Blackdemon followed suit to give back up.
"Activate!" Everlasting stood in the way and smiled, "You have to pass through me first before thinking about it!"
"Wham!" Suddenly, a giant buddha appeared behind Everlasting. It was a towering buddha that could crush the heavens with one swing. Not just that, it had the power of millions of worlds colliding.
Everlasting Buddha. Timedeath creased his brows. He was very familiar with this technique. After all, it was the strongest technique the sage had.
"You're even using this to stop us. Are you that desperate to save everyone?" Timedeath sneered, "Unfortunately, your efforts are futile. One way or another, this world will be devoured by darkness and no one will be able to stop it."
"As long as alive, you aren't going to devour the world." Everlasting said with a cold tone, "Die!"
The thousand pair of hands of Everlasting Buddha moved and crashed the eons and spaces of the world. It was directly hitting the overlords in a fast manner that couldn't be followed by the naked eyes.
Thousand worlds illuminated Immortal. Each hands had a world that could destroy everything.
"Break all!" Everlasting shouted as the worlds descended from above. The Everlasting Buddha floated above and came down with the thousand worlds. It seemed to be the end of Immortal by destroying every bit and pieces of it.
"Activate!" Timedeath shouted, revealing a sky piercing clock tower to the heavens. The clock's arms circulated in a blink of an eye, creating a barrier filled with momentum.
"Sky Clocktower." Everlasting knew this particular thing. It was the grand dao of Timedeath that had reached immortal completion, same as his Everlasting Buddha.
The spectators below had caught a glimpse of the fight only to disappear out of nowhere. Now, only Everlasting left here fighting.
"I don't understand what's the use of saving them when they will just die eventually." Visva said in a lowtone, "Everlasting Sage, your fame precedes you. It's no wonder you are the protector of the world."
A negative comment before the praise. Visva knew how to provoke people.
Visva paused for a moment before saying, "However, just like I said, they will only die eventually. When the darkness devour this world, they have nothing to run to. Since they wouldn't be accustomed to the thick and deep affinity of darkness, it will be easy as pie as killing them, turning them into monsters."
"And do you think I'll let you?" Everlasting smirked, "I am the First Sage, who was blessed by the Founder. It's not easy passing through me."
"That's true." Visva had to admit it, "Even with us working together, we can see you will survive at least several moves before dying. That will be a lot of time that you can buy for the three sages trying to preserve humanity."
Everlasting had expected this. They could actually see through his plan without much clues to think about.
"But do you really think that will work?" Visva laughed like a maniac, "As you can see, aside from this army which has millions of soldiers, the Overlords, and I, there are still two existences waiting for their chance. And mind you, they are stronger than the rest of us here."
So it was true. Everlasting already had a hunch that those hiding were the real threat to them aside from the Great Master they were talking about.
He knew this was a despairing fight but he had no choice but to move forward and buy time. Even if it's a single minute or two.
"I don't care. Come if you must." Everlasting was full of fighting spirit despite the dire situation. He was truly a hero who protected the world for eons after eons.
"What a heroic move." Visva chuckled, "Very well then. Since you want to protect this world that bad, let's see how many moves you can last fighting us all."
Buzz! Shockwaves appeared, revealing a chaotic dark energy. Each of the enemy emitted a dark gaseous flame that could incinerate everything in its oath.
Everlasting took a deep breath. Something ominous was coming, although he was afraid, he had to face it. Everything lied on his hands right now, he couldn't afford to be careless and die immediately. The future of the world would depend on how many moves he could last, after all.
