After escaping the trap, a glint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of Cicada Ancestor, as a sharp claw swiftly reached for Charlie.
Charlie, unable to help it, shook his head gently and whispered, "Heaven's Blessing."
To Charlie's left, a Light Gate swiftly opened, and Cicada Ancestor's claw passed straight through it without touching Charlie—as if Charlie standing there was merely an illusion.
Charlie's face still wore a compassionate smile, "Lord Cicada Ancestor, previously you agreed to accept the protection of the Creation Church once restored. Are you intent on reneging now?"
"Has anyone ever told you that your smile is disgusting?"
Cicada Ancestor's huge body levitated, its malevolent giant eyes fixing Charlie in a death stare.
Charlie touched his own face then shook his head, "The believers quite like this smile. As for a heretic like you liking it or not... I don't care."
