In terms of sheer numbers, they are only on par with those responsible for rear defense. However, when facing a single-digit Demon King, simply increasing the number of people and stacking up combat power is actually not very useful. What is truly needed is an 'indelible spirit'... or at least a spirit that is not so easily erased.

Logically speaking, the existence of two-digit numbers is called truth and represents truth itself. Since it is called truth, it is naturally not easy to change. However, this law, which is also a truth, obviously does not apply when dealing with one-digit numbers.

To truly stand in the face of decadence, one must prioritize the quantity of one's spiritual essence over its quality; it must be a spiritual essence that can persevere no matter how much it is devoured.

If we're talking about who the real qualified people in the current Little Garden are, it's only Orpheus. The two goddesses and Byakuya can only be considered half each. The two goddesses can only achieve an inexhaustible 'infinite cycle' by working together because of their own characteristics. Byakuya can expand his spirit to almost infinite size by relying on the characteristics of his own theory of movement. This is actually possible to be broken, but no matter what, it can still be considered an infinite one to make up the numbers.

As for the other two-digit numbers, although they are powerful, it is not reflected in the amount of spirit power... Although in the eyes of ordinary people, two-digit spirit power is almost as powerful as infinity, most of them ultimately do not truly reach infinity.

So in the end, only four people were on the front line.

In addition to the eight people mentioned above, there is also a Halloween Queen who is responsible for improvising.

Nine combatants, each with a strength equivalent to two digits—this is the core of this operation.

The two goddesses and Bai Ye are also constantly on guard against this world from both inside and outside, using numerous reconnaissance and defense gifts to guard against the possible decadence that may appear at any time.

"Although in this world, which is the main battlefield, humanity's greatest weakness cannot be completely concealed, it still depends mainly on their own efforts... Of course, if necessary, your and my abilities should also be useful—perhaps using Genesis together to help human history resist the erosion of the Black Wind is also a feasible means, but these can only be verified in actual combat."

Alpha looked at Orpheus with a smile in his eyes as he recounted his achievements over the past two weeks.

It's not perfect when it comes to single digits, but it's already the best it can be.

It was incredibly luxurious yet incredibly flimsy... Regardless, it was all that the Little Garden could offer, a defense line that the two goddesses had integrated using all their energy over the past half month.

So indeed, as Alpha said, they have done the best possible job in all their vigilance and preparedness.

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Orpheus nodded in satisfaction.

It has to be said that finding companions like the two goddesses in this world is probably the greatest fortune she has had since encountering the primordial dragon.

However... the Dragon Goddess trusted them a lot, so that wasn't what she asked just now.

"However, what I mean is that we should be more vigilant, at least psychologically... There is a high chance that a decadent trend will descend during the next historical transition."

"what?"

Even Alpha was stunned for a moment by the sudden information.

—Then, the next moment, ripples that only beings capable of understanding human history could sense spread from the planet in front of the two.

A new historical transition was definitively established at this moment.

Chapter 864 The Demon King Descends

As the convergence point of countless worlds and their parallel worlds, and a historical turning point that, once it occurs, will completely influence the future course of human history, the historical transition period is not something that can be easily controlled.

Even if a number of entities in the hundreds or thousands can easily trigger a game that can lead to a historical turning point, controlling its development is by no means an easy task.

Most importantly, once this is done, there's no going back.

Once a result is established, it is established; there is no room for correction.

This is the result of linking human history with the sandbox—to modify the established human history is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the sandbox.

Let alone making corrections afterward, even providing guidance beforehand is by no means an easy task.

At that time, Shintoism, which was incredibly powerful and prestigious, fell from its pedestal due to World War II, and even abandoned the Emperor's status as a living god. This is the absolute nature of historical transition periods. Since the outcome of World War II has established this historical transition period, no matter how parallel worlds or worlds change, the final winners and losers cannot be replaced.

The sandbox garden will naturally be affected as a result.

Shintoism certainly didn't intend to sit idly by and wait for its demise, but they messed things up. This shows that even powerful groups of gods find it difficult to predict and deal with issues related to historical transitions.

Therefore, both Alpha and Orpheus were momentarily stunned by the suddenness of this historical transition.

Of course, the main reason was that they were a little distracted because they had just been chatting.

"if you can……"

Alpha rubbed his temples.

"I hope you can explain such important information earlier next time. But even so, it would be best if this kind of thing didn't happen again..."

It's clear that this usually serious goddess of creation is trying to ease the awkwardness.

But clearly, her efforts were completely in vain.

—The aura of nothingness filled the entire void within the observation range of the sandbox the moment it was established during the historical transition period… no, perhaps it had already filled the void even a moment before that.

The wave of decadence arrived precisely on time, without any warning.

By the time they realized it, it was already right next to them... Alpha even felt a sharp, stinging pain.

Perhaps this is what it feels like for an ordinary person to be corroded by strong acid?

Faced with the black wind that had unknowingly become omnipresent, the Goddess of Creation even felt a strange sense of powerlessness.

—It seems that even a two-digit number is as powerless as the weakest mortal in the face of this wind that represents the ultimate nothingness.

Even if the only thing the other party has done so far is 'show up'.

It wasn't even an attack; the decadent wind was merely a mere manifestation of itself... It wasn't even clear whether the wind that had appeared at this moment represented the entirety of that demon king's power.

However, even so, the sense of oppression that Alpha felt was far greater than that of the mere Despondent Wind clone from before.

At the same time, she also noticed something was wrong.

"Ophis, the history of humankind..."

"no problem."

The tacit understanding between the two goddesses and Orpheus had already been cultivated to a very high level. Before Alpha could even finish asking his question, Orpheus had already given his answer.

The dragon goddess girl's body was shimmering with a white and purple light, and her expression was unusually serious.

However, there wasn't much panic.

Alpha's earlier prediction was correct—the first target of the decadent trend was undoubtedly human history.

To be precise, it is a multi-pronged approach targeting human history, the universe, and humanity within it.

Time is the instant before the establishment of a historical transition period.

Without a doubt, although it is unclear whether it was a judgment based on intellect or an instinctive action, the Demon King's goal was clearly to destroy it at the moment the historical transition was established or even before.

However, Orpheus still managed to block it.

Although she had been delayed for too long, the late information and the coincidence that Orpheus's dejected demeanor suddenly descended upon them caused Alpha and Orpheus to be momentarily stunned. But even if their minds didn't catch up, their bodies and minds reacted immediately.

The possible forms of the decadent trend and the corresponding countermeasures had been analyzed and planned countless times. When it came to actual combat, the battle-hardened double-digit powerhouses were naturally not flustered. The two goddesses stationed inside and outside the world released their power at the same time. The power of creation and the power of ending covered the entire universe, forming a cycle that could bear all the laws of the world, weakening or blocking the power of nothingness as much as possible.

In addition, the white night outside the world also expands the spiritual realm. The Plain of Never Night, which contains the total mass of the universe and represents the end that humans can never reach, covers the entire world without the awareness of the beings within it. The almost limitless theory of celestial motion also largely isolates the ferocious power of the decadent wind.

The truly devastating impact—using this world, which has now become the convergence point of all human timelines, as a springboard against the entirety of human history itself—was also withstood by Orpheus and the few two-digit guards who protect the Little Garden.

At this point, the relationship between human history and the Little Garden has been strengthened to the extreme. A direct attack on either side is essentially equivalent to a direct attack on both sides. Naturally, this measure was specifically designed to enable the Little Garden to become a shield for human history in times like these.

The four two-digit numbers configured for this purpose serve as shields for the miniature world at this time—they must simultaneously deal with attacks targeting human history and other worlds, a task that is quite arduous.

If these four fail, the damage to human history will be distributed among billions of gods based on the same principle. Human history must be preserved no matter what, as this is the duty of the gods.

Of course, we haven't reached that point yet.

The tide of decadence has merely arrived.

However, for an ordered void, the wind, which itself represents 'nothingness,' is destruction and the end itself... but for a two-digit number, it can barely hold on.

The light emanating from Orpheus blocked the endless black winds from entering.

"How about it."

Alpha asked a question.

"He doesn't seem intellectual; he's been perfectly normal so far."

Orpheus answered, squinting his eyes.

Appearing next to a completed perpetual motion machine or at a related historical juncture is a characteristic of the Decadent Wind... In fact, according to Orpheus's speculation, rather than the Decadent Wind wanting to destroy the perpetual motion machine, it should be considered a trial based on the identity of humanity's final trial, and it is all purely guided by instinct.

Judging from the current situation, the trend of decadence has not shown any obvious aggressiveness.

Therefore, under the double-digit layers of protection, this world has not suffered too much damage. Although the black wind is still everywhere, at least Orpheus and the others are still in the mood to talk.

However, this is the limit; being bathed in the black wind is not much more comfortable than a human being soaking in the sun.

Is there any way to send it back to its hometown?

Alpha asked again, this time with an even more important question.

However, Orpheus gently shook his head.

"...Let's really block it first."

As he answered, Orpheus glanced at Earth.

Fluctuations still exist during historical transition periods. Since it is called a 'period', this process is naturally not necessarily completed instantaneously.

This is a crucial point in determining the direction of the road.

In fact, given that a wave of decadence has already swept through the country, this kind of persistence is a good thing.

The historical transition period is the intersection of all worlds. Taking advantage of this characteristic, the Heavenly Army has seized the opportunity to superimpose the concepts of all worlds onto this world.

At least during the transition period, this world will be more robust than ever before, even surpassing the sandbox.

Of course, it's not entirely without its downsides...

───!

A faint 'vibration' from the void made Alpha grit its teeth to endure the sudden pain.

The situation in Omega and White Night outside this world is probably similar at this moment, or even more serious.

Because of the overlapping of numerous worlds and histories, the signal emitted by this world at this moment, when converted into sound, would probably shatter a person's soul.

—With human history clearly not stopping immediately, an even more turbulent black wind surged from the void, crashing towards the defensive line constructed by the two goddesses and the White Night.

Chapter 865 Infinity of Nothingness

The sandbox garden is now operating at full capacity.

—This is unprecedented. Even the dystopia that swept through a quarter of the Little Garden never required the Little Garden to mobilize all its resources to deal with it.
