"Do you really think this will work?"
Afterskin looked at Shadow Nine, his eyes filled with doubt.
If Nathan had said this, Afterskin would have believed it without question. But Shadow Nine? He lacked the credibility to inspire confidence.
"Why would I lie to you?" Shadow Nine rolled his eyes, speaking with absolute conviction.
"What could possibly go wrong in the river of time? You think the Supreme Demon God is going to pop out and eat you or something?"
He paused for dramatic effect, then added, "And honestly, ask yourself—would the Supreme Demon God even want to eat someone as unlucky as you?"
"..."
Their banter made Calderon pause. He suddenly recalled the truth from years ago.
Back then, during that fateful battle, Nathan had died, and the Supreme Demon God had been gravely injured.
But even in his weakened state, the Supreme Demon God could have easily killed both Shadow Nine and Afterskin.
