Daniel stared at the figure and mocked her rcilessly.
How could these people utter such absurdities?
Destroying everything for the sake of all living beings?
"Exactly. That is our belief and the very thing we are doing," the woman said, her tone unwavering.
"You cannot understand us now, but… this is the only correct path!"
With a wave of her hand, a cavern appeared behind her.
"Once, I was just like you. But then, I discovered a place like this."
Daniel could see inside the cavern.
It was filled with countless bones, as if they were part of the very ground itself.
"For billions of years, countless people have entered such caverns, sacrificing themselves so that all living beings could find a path forward. Even though their ultimate fate was to beco bones like these, they did so willingly."
"They were the most honorable of people! They were the pioneers who dared to die for the beings of the multiverse," the woman said with a look of reverence.
But then her tone shifted sharply.
"When they perished, they conveyed one unified ssage: destroy the multiverse, kill all living beings!"
"Only by doing so can we create… a true future!"
"How laughable. Kill all living beings, and where will that future exist?" Daniel retorted.
"As long as this world is freed from the Creator God's grasp, all beings will have an infinite future!" the woman declared.
Daniel sighed deeply.
He had indeed underestimated the extremity of the Church of Origins.
These people were, as others had described, utterly mad.
For the so-called goal of breaking limits, they were incapable of rational conversation.
"Only by doing this can the Creator God be permanently removed from this world, never again influencing its operations!"
"Only then will there no longer be any beings that defy the rules of our world!"
"All beings will control their own destiny."
At this point, Daniel's brows furrowed.
The woman's words contained a phrase that caught his attention:
Beings that defy the rules of the world…
Was she referring to him?
Daniel knew that his own power had already surpassed the limits of a custodian.
He was on the verge of being beyond what the God Realm could sustain.
Under normal circumstances, such an existence should not have been possible.
"This is our true purpose! Destroying the world and killing all beings is not the goal—it is rely a ans!"
"Only by making the Creator God realize that the ants he created, the beings he shaped, can shake the foundation of his creations…"
"Only then might he understand this: our destiny will be in our own hands!"
As she spoke, the bones in the cavern began to emit a powerful energy.
Dim white light started radiating from the skeletal remains, eventually gathering in the woman's hand.
At the center of her right hand, the light condensed and concentrated.
Even from where he stood, Daniel could feel the overwhelming power in her hand.
This was the last remnant of energy left by those who had perished in the cavern over billions of years.
The final gift of those who sought a future for living beings.
The woman's gaze locked onto Daniel.
"This is the culmination of everyone's efforts! To kill you… the executor of the god's will!"
With that, she pushed the glowing energy orb toward Daniel.
This was the hatred of billions condensed over eons, their despair over a hopeless future, transford into a singular attack.
"Can humans kill gods? Isn't humanity supposed to be as insignificant as ants before the divine?"
"Yes, humanity is inherently weak. Compared to gods, we are indeed as insignificant as ants."
"But does such weakness an we should despair and stop moving forward?"
"No!"
"Even ants have their own rage! Only by making the Creator God feel our fury will they understand the power of ants!"
"We may be weak, but… we are not alone!"
The woman's mory replayed these words—a testant to the collective will of those who sought to slay the gods.
This attack represented the wishes of countless beings to overthrow divinity.
It moved toward Daniel with devastating force, even surpassing the limits of the world.
Daniel noticed that as the energy orb moved closer, the surrounding space began to distort.
Even light itself bent around the orb.
At that mont, Daniel faced a dire choice.
Confronted with this overwhelming attack, he had two options.

The first was to dodge.
The orb was terrifying, but its speed was not fast.
Daniel could easily evade it.
He could step forward into the spatial rift where the woman stood—a step that seed short but would take him across infinite space.
By doing so, Daniel would avoid the explosion.
But if he dodged…
The energy orb would detonate within the God Realm.
The multiverse would be devastated.
And most importantly, the Crossbridge World would not survive.
The second option was to extract all of his power.
He could use his strength to resist the energy orb alone.
While so worlds would still be destroyed, Daniel could at least ensure that the Crossbridge World and Rose would remain untouched.
However…
If he chose this path, Daniel would never be able to return to the God Realm.
Daniel watched the scene before him.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
Perhaps because of the many places he had seen, the countless people he had t, and the vast experiences he had accumulated, Daniel hesitated.
In the end, he chose to extract all of his power to block the energy orb.
…
At the magic array's core, Rose suddenly felt a sense of dread.
Nothing had happened yet, but her emotions were turbulent, and she couldn't calm herself.
It felt as though sothing was about to occur.
Rose looked toward the rift, hoping her fears were unfounded.
But then, she saw a gray beam of light shoot skyward—a pillar of light.
"What is that? Could it be that Dad is fighting the Church of Origins?" Big White asked, staring at the pillar.
"Will Dad win? Sis, I'm worried. Should we go help him? After all, we're at the pinnacle of custodian power now…" Big White turned to Rose.
"It's useless. If Daniel can't resolve it, sending more people would just be sending them to their deaths," the Ancestral Unicorn interjected.
"So we're just supposed to watch?"
At that mont, Rose suddenly swung her sword at a nearby space.
Nina tumbled out of the void.
"Nina!"
"Rose… I… I want to go see what's happening! With such a commotion, the headmaster must need our support!"
"Don't go!" Rose said, her frustration evident.
As ti passed, her unease grew stronger.
She didn't know why, but she felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
"All we can do now is follow Father's orders and guard the magic array's core! That terrifying disturbance… it's not sothing we can interfere with!"
Rose stared at the central pillar of light.
Suddenly, the pillar expanded.
What had initially seed no wider than a finger began to rapidly grow in size!
