In an instant, the Asura monsters forgot to attack. Rek quickly turned around without hesitation and jumped into the Spatial Channel.
After emerging from the Spatial Channel, Rek grabbed Alice's shoulder, who was standing nearby, and began to run swiftly across the Ground.
Rek knew that it wouldn't be long before the monsters from Asura World reacted and surged out of the channel.
By then, this area would be filled with Asura monsters, and if they were slow, they would likely be trapped here. Rek was determined to leave quickly with Alice, who did not have a Genetic Mech.
A few minutes later, Rek, now far away, could hear the howls of numerous monsters.
"Do you think our plan will succeed?" Alice asked Rek.
Rek let go of Alice, and they stopped by a small river.
"It should work. At least it will have some impact on the upcoming battle between the temple and the Holy Church. It's hard to estimate whether the effect will be good or bad, but it's definitely better than doing nothing at all. We just need to wait five days; we'll have results then," Rek replied.
In the following days, Rek and Alice found a distant mountain to stay in. When they got hungry, they hunted animals for food.
From their vantage point, Rek and Alice could see numerous Rakshasa monsters from Asura Realm continuously pouring out of the Space Tunnel, densely gathering near the entrance.
These Rakshasa monsters began hunting the surrounding animals, and even some plants were consumed.
In comparison to the Rakshasa Asura Realm, the human world felt like paradise. The Rakshasa monsters excitedly gathered near the entrance without restraint.
"It seems these Rakshasa monsters possess some intelligence. I sense several powerful Rakshasa monsters emerging from the entrance, starting to restrain these lower-level monsters and preventing them from scattering. Moreover, the number of Rakshasa monsters appearing is increasing rapidly—several times faster than before.
I suspect that the higher-ups of Rakshasa Asura Realm are preparing to hide temporarily while the temple and Holy Church are unaware of their presence. Once they gather enough strength, they will reveal themselves.
This is beneficial for our plan," Rek said.
Alice nodded in agreement. Five days later, Alice's Genetic Mech barrier disappeared, revealing a dark green Genetic Mech that appeared on her body.
In the past few days, Alice lost Genetic Mech, and with the army of Rakshasa monsters in the distance, she did not stray too far from Rek.
"My isolation has disappeared, and the barrier left by Victorious Monkey has vanished. This monkey will likely discover it soon. Should we stay here or leave?" Alice asked Rek for his advice.
"Leave, get away from here. Staying here no longer serves any purpose. Before the monkey arrives, let's go quickly. We haven't had a good look at this world yet. We've done what we can, and if we're successful, Victorious Monkey will come looking for us," Rek replied.
Then Rek and Alice got up and left, heading towards the distant Human Gathering Place.
They did not stop at the nearest Human Gathering Places because both knew that once the Rakshasa army gathered a certain number of monsters, these nearby human cities would be destroyed.
It would be better to move further away than to stay and resist the monsters from the Asura Realm.
Three days later, Rek and Alice, dressed in ancient attire, walked through an Ancient City on Rek's Earth.
The two strolled along the streets.
"This mortal world looks very peaceful, but I wonder how long this tranquility will last after we released the Rakshasa Asura monsters," Alice remarked to Rek with some sentiment.
"In this mortal world, news should spread slowly. They haven't yet received word about the appearance of the Rakshasa monsters, which is why they seem so leisurely. Moreover, this world is not ours; even if it is real, it will eventually perish. There's no need to think too much about it, Alice," Rek said to her.
In the following days, Rek and Alice continued their journey towards distant cities, this time traveling by carriage.
After half a month, news of the Rakshasa monsters' appearance began to circulate in the human mortal world.
It was said that Rakshasa monsters had invaded human cities and slaughtered all humans and animals for food.
The human mortal world began to grow tumultuous. Rek and Alice could see many powerful beings flying in the sky multiple times a day, sometimes accompanied by large aerial structures moving through the air.
"This should be the forces of the temple or Holy Church; they have already reacted to the Rakshasa invasion," Rek commented.
"Yes, I hope the appearance of the Rakshasa Asura Realm monsters improves Victorious Monkey's fate. The temple and Holy Church should not engage in battle against the Rakshasa Asura Realm at this time," Alice sighed.
Rek and Alice stayed in the mortal world for about a month and heard some circulating news that the temple and Holy Church had begun fighting against the Rakshasa monsters from the Asura Realm.
There were rumors that the monsters from the Asura Realm had been driven back in a single day, while others claimed that the armies of the Temple and the Holy Church had been defeated by the Asura Realm, leading to humanity's impending doom. Regardless of the varying reports, many mortals in the human realm who could move had relocated far away from the battlefield between the Asura Realm and the Temple and Holy Church, fearing that one day the monsters from the Asura Realm might appear at their doorstep.
Alice watched the turbulent mortal world alongside Rek, following the migrating humans as they continued to distance themselves from the battlefield.
Time passed quickly, and three months later, while Rek and Alice were resting in a small courtyard rented with gold, a figure suddenly descended rapidly from the sky.
Rek and Alice looked at this figure in surprise; it was a monkey whose fur was singed in many places and whose expression was haggard.
"Victorious Monkey, what happened to you?" Alice asked in astonishment. They were well aware of Victorious Monkey's strength; after guarding the entrance to the Asura Realm for so many years, even if he engaged in battle with them, he shouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful state.
Victorious Monkey glanced at Rek and Alice, hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a somewhat angry tone.
"Those old fools from the Temple and Holy Church! I have guarded the entrance to the Asura Realm for hundreds of years, and though I have no merit, I have certainly endured hardships. This time, when the Asura Realm invaded, I don't know which expert from there temporarily blocked my barrier. It delayed me for several days before I learned that the monster army from the Asura Realm had entered the human realm." Victorious Monkey paused before continuing.
"Then the Temple and Holy Church are not going to war? You drove back the Asura Realm's invasion?" Rek asked what was on his mind.
"The Temple and Holy Church are currently too busy just trying to cope with the Asura Realm; they don't have time to engage in war. The monsters from the Asura Realm became significantly stronger after entering the human realm, and they continue to grow more powerful by devouring humans. The joint forces of the Temple and Holy Church have been fighting against them for several months now, barely managing to push them back to a few cities near the Spatial Channel entrance.
Moreover, there are also rumors about Shura monsters appearing in the human world.
In these past few months, I have been leading troops to battle against the Monster Horde from the Asura Realm, managing to temporarily hold them back.
Do you know? The high-ranking officials of the Temple and Holy Church actually discussed it and decided to place all responsibility for this invasion on me, claiming that I should self-destruct my cultivation as punishment." Victorious Monkey said angrily.
Rek chuckled upon hearing this.
"So you got into a fight with those high-ranking officials from the Temple and Holy Church and then ran out to find us. I feel like their intention to strip you of your cultivation isn't solely due to this invasion by the Asura Realm.
It's because you hold positions in both factions. Although they are currently not engaging in war against the monsters from the Asura Realm, once they drive them back, there will inevitably be a major conflict between them. Both sides are wary of you as an unstable factor.
Thus, they plan to take advantage of this invasion by the Asura Realm to eliminate you directly, removing this uncertain threat and ensuring they have one less potential enemy or obstacle when they go to war." Rek said with a smile.
Alice nodded after listening, "Victorious Monkey, Rek has a point. Your identity and strength make both the Temple and the Holy Church wary of you. Even if you clearly express your intentions, both factions will suspect that you might betray them in the upcoming war. They are preparing to eliminate you to get ready for the battle."
After hearing this, Victorious Monkey picked up a Metal Pipe and began to argue in the courtyard. The massive Metal Pipe smashed many chairs and structures.
"That's right. The higher-ups of the Temple and Holy Church probably think similarly to what you said. I've considered this too; there’s no point in me staying in this world any longer. Let’s go to the Temple's headquarters. This War God will take you to the Execution Platform and help you leave this world. I don’t want to stay here anymore; let it follow the course of history and perish in the future."
"The Temple and Holy Church want me to cripple my own cultivation, right? Jumping off the Execution Platform would mean certain death for me. They would love for me to jump off!" Victorious Monkey shouted.
"Alright!" Rek replied excitedly, quickly signaling Alice to sprout her wings and lift him into the air.
Alice activated the wings of her Genetic Mech, taking off with Rek. Both Rek and Alice were relieved that Victorious Monkey had finally decided to leave this world, fearing that any delay might lead to unforeseen changes.
Victorious Monkey waved at Rek and Alice, and the three flew rapidly towards the Temple in the sky.
On the Ground, mortals who had heard the commotion in the courtyard looked up at the three ascending into the sky, some even kneeling on the ground.
Half an hour later, Victorious Monkey brought Rek and Alice back to the grand gate of the Temple.
The soldiers guarding the Temple were surprised to see Victorious Monkey, but this time they did not immediately step aside; instead, they sent someone inside to report.
"You little soldiers dare to block me, this War God?" Victorious Monkey said with a fierce tone to the soldiers guarding the gate.
Hearing this, a soldier replied with a trembling voice, "War God, we do not dare obstruct you, but it is our duty. If you wish to enter, feel free to strike us down or injure us; we will not fight back. We know that even all of us together are no match for you." A leading guard spoke up.
Upon hearing this from the guards, Victorious Monkey hesitated to act violently. He took off again with Alice and Rek towards the forbidden area of the Execution Platform within the Temple.
Along the way, some experts from various halls emerged, looking at Victorious Monkey flying in the sky.
Several experts from the Temple gathered together.
A few minutes later, Victorious Monkey landed outside the Execution Platform with Rek and Alice. More than ten experts from within the Temple had already gathered nearby.
"War God, what brings you to the Temple without a summons?" an old man questioned Victorious Monkey.
"I, as the God of War of the Temple, possess divine status and a grand hall. Why would I need to summon anyone to come to the Temple?" Victorious Monkey said with irritation.
"God of War, you have neglected your duty guarding the entrance to the Asura Realm, causing great suffering in the mortal world due to the invasion of the Asura monster army, resulting in casualties among the Temple soldiers. Do you understand your crime?" The elder asked Victorious Monkey.
"In the past, I willingly dedicated myself to guarding the entrance to the Asura Realm. I have guarded it for hundreds of years without seeing anyone from your Temple or the Holy Church sent to replace me. What wrong is there in leaving once after hundreds of years?
Moreover, during this invasion of the Asura Realm, I have personally led troops into battle.
As for your desire to strip me of my powers, High Priest, you wouldn't want me to publicly disclose the details now, would you?" Victorious Monkey laughed wildly.
"Bold!" The elder exclaimed loudly, and the experts behind him took a defensive stance. They all understood Victorious Monkey's strength; even if they combined their efforts and set up formations, they would still suffer casualties trying to kill him.
"Haha, enough! You hypocrites and petty individuals. It turns out that even the lofty Temple is made up of such people. I might as well give up my position as God of War; no one can kill me or strip me of my powers. The only one who can defeat me is myself.
Today, I will jump into the Execution Platform to put your minds at ease. Elder, and those in high positions within the Temple, do not say that I, the God of War, did not warn you: in the future, if your intentions lead you to battle against the Holy Church, this world of yours—the Temple—this era will ultimately face destruction." Victorious Monkey said coldly as he walked towards the elevated Execution Platform with Rek and Alice.
Hearing Victorious Monkey's words, those nearby looked at him in shock; they never expected he would truly commit suicide by jumping into the Execution Platform. Even with his extraordinary powers, it would be difficult for him to survive.
The numerous high-ranking members of the Temple remained silent as several high-ranking members from the Holy Church flew in from above, watching Victorious Monkey approach the Execution Platform from a distance.
They had received reports from the Temple and were originally prepared to join forces with them to kill Victorious Monkey; they never anticipated that he was now preparing to end his own life.
