Silas then turned around to face the group. Angelica was completely lost in grief, weeping beside Ivy's lifeless body, her tears pooling on the cavern floor, while Vic knelt down beside her, visibly exhausted and still struggling to recover his stamina.
"You two should stay here," Silas commanded, his tone dark and resolute. "I'll go and take care of the Realm's god myself. Once that's done, we'll be free to leave this place." His voice carried an ominous weight that seemed to echo through the cave, cutting through the air like a blade.
Vic's eyes widened in shock as he absorbed Silas's words. "Are you insane? You want to take on the Realm's god all by yourself? That's suicide, man!" he exclaimed, his tone a mixture of disbelief and genuine fear.
"The only one thinking of suicide should be the mutant god when it lays eyes on me—not the other way around," Silas retorted, his voice cold as ice. He directed a steady, unyielding gaze at Vic.
