Mother of Dragon went insane after finding the truth. Hades decided to join hands with the [Entity]. Shadow Supreme had a better method than Hades, since it didn't involve killing the entire Cosmos, but it was only good to save himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—And you are trying to save everyone while causing almost no destruction. So, if I'm after you, doesn't it mean my method is better than yours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I do not intend to give my burdens to new generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo smiled, hearing Apollyon's proclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked about divine matters, and then about personal feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—How can you continue forward? You lost so much, yet you always stand on your feet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I have no choice but to continue moving. If I don't, everything will be for naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollyon looked at Neo with pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, time had reached, and he said, \"Afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand spirits above him dimmed slightly. Their light, however, did not disappear and instead flowed into Apollyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body became unbearably hot, and the grass around him began to burn. Trees caught fire, and the air distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Do you hate Ouroboros?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Do you respect Ouroboros?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Do you love your father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Threads were watching with excitement, hoping for Neo to crush Apollyon so that it could come and save the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Neo could not defeat him, Apollyon's breakthrough was already underway, so he would soon reach Nirvana, then be reborn as a Fourth Step Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Threads were salivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You look like you want to ask something from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Stop holding back.
