"So, that's how it is."
Istab and the others nodded in realization.
Just then—
"Istab, Keos, Tia, Varna, Evans, Tilly, what are you doing here?"
"Do you four divine guards intend to interfere in this war too?"
"Our Light God Lord has already issued a warning. Do you still dare to participate? Are you truly seeking extinction?"
Several leading gods stepped forward, hovering in mid-air, their gazes locked firmly on Istab and the six of them as they roared furiously.
Istab, wielding a dark golden spear, bellowed, "This is our personal matter and has nothing to do with the four divine guards!"
Keos, gripping a massive mace, snarled viciously, "This Old Man chooses to join the fight. What can you do about it?"
"In that case, we'll send you and these humans to your graves together!"
"Charge! Kill them!"
Several gods and demons roared simultaneously, lunging toward Istab and the six of them!
"Fight!"
