The next second, he appeared within the stargate.
Not at the Stargate Council headquarters, but at that spatial fissure located in deep space, carefully hidden by the council for their departure.
The reason Saul could appear here was because when he had wrapped urich with tentacles and swung him up and down in the laboratory, he had grasped urich's fate lines.
From then on, urich had beco a coordinate point for Saul's teleportation. Only no one knew this except Saul.
Now, when Saul sensed the coordinate point approaching the spatial fissure, he imdiately teleported over.
Before Saul, a chubby, fleshy worm was carefully preparing to cross the spatial fissure, leave the wizard world, and enter the vast starry sky to explore dangerous and unknown other worlds.
That flesh worm was precisely the shell containing urich's soul.
The silver butterfly didn't need Saul's instructions and imdiately rushed into the flesh-colored large worm before him.
urich's instinctive counterattack, born from shock and horror, suddenly froze rigid, and the action of stepping out of the stargate could no longer be completed.
The next instant, Saul's right hand had transford into several semi-transparent octopus tentacles, firmly locking onto the worm, coiling around it several tis, directly turning the worm into a ball of yarn.
Just after completing this action, Saul imdiately retreated.
Almost simultaneously, a powerful ntal force from outside the stargate probed Saul's original position, and an arc of electricity suddenly flashed, nearly striking Saul.
"Wizard Saul, what are you doing?"
Alick's voice was transmitted into Saul's mind along with the ntal force.
Saul put his hands behind his back, quite having the shaless feeling of "even though you caught , I just won't admit it."
"Council Chairman Alick, since the migration plan is a great success and you've already left the wizard world, this fellow urich is useless. I want to communicate with him about red worm experience. He won't be participating in this migration journey."
"Heh..." Alick laughed in extre anger, "You troubled urich multiple tis before just to numb , making think you only dared to vent verbally. I didn't expect you'd really dare to act against him? Do you think that just because I left the stargate, I can't return?"
After urich had toyed with Agu several tis and used this to provoke Saul, Saul never intended to let urich follow Alick in leaving the wizard world.
For this, he deliberately acted petty and resentful, repeatedly finding insignificant troubles for urich.
The more such small troubles there were, the more it made them think Saul wouldn't really strike a killing blow against urich.
But they didn't know that Saul was waiting for the last day, at the mont when urich thought he had succeeded and could smoothly follow Alick away, to decisively shatter his hope and completely seal off his future.
Just like how urich had deliberately killed Fiona in front of Agu when Agu and Fiona had just recognized each other.
Perhaps urich, having failed to find other Faceless Ones, had already decided to dispose of the backup Faceless One Fiona. But he specifically chose to do it in front of Agu, waiting until the person was grief-stricken before casually explaining in a few sentences.
Moreover, urich claid that the one who killed the real Fiona was a half-elf, but he didn't expect this half-elf to be right beside Saul.
This ant that urich had definitely lied about the killer's identity.
A lie with nine truths and one falsehood is most believable.
Since the half-elf wasn't the killer, then who was?
Who else could know the ins and outs of an incident so clearly? Know the death process of an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl so well?
Naturally, only the real killer.
Therefore, after hearing Agu's tearful account, Saul made his decision in an instant.
To kill urich!
Now, he had completed the first step.
Let urich's beautiful dream of stepping into a new world... shatter at the mont closest to realization!
Of course, the price was facing Alick's fury.
"Council Chairman Alick, I'm definitely keeping this urich. It has nothing to do with whether you can return or not. Of course, I still suggest you preserve your strength and continue your interstellar journey. After all, who knows what kind of enemies you might encounter in the future. Better to conserve your strength properly."
However, Alick had no intention of abandoning urich.
Perhaps urich had once made great contributions, or had a close relationship with Alick. Perhaps it was that Alick couldn't tolerate Saul trampling on his dignity.
"Do you really think you're qualified to make preserve my strength?"
Alick's ntal force was already approaching the stargate.
He was really going to return from outside!
Saul raised his hand and handed urich over to Little Algae's mouth.
Seeing the half-ter-long flesh worm, Little Algae directly went "Aowu" and swallowed the worm in one bite.
The flesh worm didn't resist at all, because when Saul wrapped urich with tentacles, he had already used the diary to directly collect his soul body into the diary's black pages.
Even if Alick wanted to demand urich back now, it was too late.
Having completed the shell handover, Saul imdiately spread his arms. He was already prepared—as long as Alick dared to return, he would show Alick what for.
The kind of extrely dangerous look with eyes covering his entire body, eyes that liked to blink, with seven-colored pupils.
However, just as Alick was about to enter the stargate, suddenly another voice rang out behind Saul.
"Since you chose to flee, don't co back, Alick. This world no longer welcos you. Or rather, I don't welco you."
Hearing this familiar voice, the corners of Saul's mouth lifted, and he then retracted his arm tentacles, no longer activating the star-shaped eyes in his body.
Conversely, Alick outside the stargate stopped in his tracks due to this voice, no longer approaching.
At the sa ti, his voice, surprised yet heavy, also rang in the minds of Saul and the person behind him.
"Gorsa? You... didn't die?"
"Yeah, took a trip to stroll around the Abyssal Eye that you don't even dare to glance at, and now I'm back."
Gorsa flew to Saul's side, his golden pupils slightly narrowing, not concealing the mockery in his eyes at all.
Saul turned his head, about to greet his master. It had been over half a year since he last saw Gorsa, and he hadn't expected him to recover so quickly.
However, when Saul turned to look at the current Gorsa, he imdiately widened his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching.
The Gorsa before him was still wrapped in bandages all over his body, making it impossible to see what condition his body had recovered to.
These bandages were the ones Saul had helped wrap when he rescued him.
But Saul rembered clearly wrapping white bandages, so why were the bandages on Master Gorsa now... pink?
Before he could marvel at his master turning pink again, Saul heard Alick from the other side of the stargate speak again.
"Very good, it seems I underestimated you. Saul, I underestimated you too. You two madn together might really have the ability to withstand the black tide - withstand the Abyssal Eye. Hehe, I hope when I return after advancing to fifth rank, I can still see you. If you're still alive, we'll settle all old scores then!"
After saying this, Alick's ntal force distanced itself again.
It seed that due to the dual pressure from Saul and Gorsa, he had abandoned urich.
Only then did Saul slowly retreat, yielding the stargate's position, looking at the other flesh worms trembling nearby, making a polite "please" gesture.
"I'm catching up with old tis with urich. Other wizards, please continue your journey. If you're too slow, you might not be able to keep up with Council Chairman Alick."
