Ares quickly sealed the entrance to the Supreme Abyssal.
Mike remained unfazed, even feeling a bit amused.
It all became clear to him.
Even the Supreme Being Apollo had been played by Shadow Nine. To ensure his plan succeeded,
Shadow Nine had enlisted the aid of not one, but two Supreme Beings!
Apollo couldn't make it, likely held up by Morpheus.
The opening and subsequent sealing of the Supreme Abyssal were Ares' doing.
Among the human race, only Shadow Nine and Maxen could mobilize these two powers.
Mike couldn't help but remark with a touch of irony, "Big moves."
The sword light gradually subsided, and the entrance to the Supreme Abyssal was successfully sealed.
Yet, Ares didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stayed, watching the Archdemon still lying in the coffin.
Ares held back his strike, and the Archdemon began to cough up blood.
Previously, the human race had initiated a major war.
