I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 445 - 92: The True Leader (4,200 Words)
After the song ended, Yun You wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned to look at the Karma Remnant Buddha, who was still relentlessly trampling the land.
Based on what she just observed, the song did slow down the movements of the Alef creatures and reduced the frequency of the Immeasurable Calamity triggering considerably.
But clearly, the song did not completely stop His "exorcism" actions.
"If we continue to play, maybe it will further reduce the frequency of the Immeasurable Calamity triggering?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Yun You thought silently and considered asking Mokaka to not stop playing and to continue with the electronic piano.
But when she turned her head, she saw Mokaka drenched in sweat, as if soaked, slouched weakly in her seat, panting, obviously exhausted.
It seems that even when playing her own music and not just playing the deity-given score, Mokaka still expends an enormous amount of physical energy.
Now Yun You was more certain that using music to change people's hearts was indeed a special ability that Mokaka possessed, quite similar to the Sequence Power of the Apprentice Death Gods.
"Mokaka, I know you need to rest, but time waits for no one."
Yun You softly spoke, explaining, "If it's possible, continue playing."
"This is a war that won't end until death; there is no room for coexistence between us and the Karma Remnant Buddha."
Hearing this, Mokaka was slightly stunned despite her exhaustion, but quickly reacted, nodded, and forced her fatigued little body to put her hands back on the keyboard.
Soon, a new melody emerged.
Perhaps because each melody can only trigger the ability once, Mokaka composed a brand new rock song on the spot, using all her strength to hit the keyboard.
Seeing this, Yuanbao and Yun You couldn't afford to be idle either; after receiving the new score sent by Mokaka, they immediately joined in, performing and singing.
The melodious song once again echoed in the heavens and earth of the Floating Island.
However, perhaps their good fortune had finally reached its limit.
When the song reached its latter part, the Karma Remnant Buddha slowly turned around, lifting his giant foot and enormous Flesh and Blood Lotus Platform, advancing towards the Urban Area.
The moment He completely turned around, nearly everyone's breath in the camp came to a halt.
Despite countless calculations, they still could not prevent Him from heading towards the city.
But honestly, everyone's luck had already been quite good.
There were nearly a thousand people in the camp, and given the Karma Remnant Buddha's tendency to track human gathering places, it should have been trampled long ago.
To have survived until now was purely because of good fortune.
In front of Alef creatures, humans could never claim to be lucky.
A despairing atmosphere quickly spread across the camp.
People could only pray silently...
Apart from praying, there was nothing else they could do.
However, unlike the previous situation where they would abandon Mokaka without hesitation to escape alone...
This time, Mokaka, as a leader, granted them the respect they deserved; she was recognized as a leader.
So they did not run, but chose to stand by Mokaka, believing in the girl's abilities.
Though this belief was still accompanied by the fear of Alef creatures...
Of course, compared to the camp that was still ten kilometers away from the Karma Remnant Buddha, a group of refugees currently at the foot of the Great Buddha was clearly more terrified.
This was a group of mercenaries, and the leader was the Young Apprentice Death God who once served Mokaka... but later chose to leave.
His original intention in leaving Mokaka was to give himself more chances to survive.
But now, he was going to be the first to be trampled by the Great Buddha, which was truly ironic.
"Run! Scatter and run! The more that survive, the better!"
The Young Death God finally overcame the immense fear within and shouted for his companions to split up and run!
At this point, sticking together had no meaning at all.
Only by splitting up and escaping in different directions was there a slim chance of survival!
Based on the current trajectory of the Karma Remnant Buddha's stride, the landing point of his foot was approximately six kilometers away from the group.
Five kilometers was the destructive radius of the Immeasurable Calamity, so six kilometers was already an extremely marginal escape position.
The Young Death God estimated that the Karma Remnant Buddha would need to take at least one more step to affect them.
"There's still a chance to survive!"
He steeled his heart and ran along the edge of the Immeasurable Calamity's radius to the other side.
Although continuing to run backwards... towards Mokaka's camp was a safer choice, the Urban Area was situated at the northernmost point of the Floating Island; being cornered there would leave no chance of survival.
Thus, the Young Death God chose to take the risk and run in the opposite direction.
And as he chose to take that risk, everyone in the camp focused their gaze on him.
Even Mokaka was no exception.
Though the Youth had just betrayed her, at this moment, she also hoped he could successfully escape.
Because the method the Youth was using was exactly the escape plan she had discussed with Yun You before—calculating the Karma Remnant Buddha's movement trajectory in advance, then moving the camp along the edge of the Immeasurable Calamity's range.
If this Young Death God could successfully escape, then Mokaka's strategy would have hope in being implemented.
...
The Youth sprinted furiously, turning into a fleeting shadow, darting through the air.
The speed of an Apprentice Death God rivaled a race car; even during the Internship Period, they could run several dozen meters per second.
