Mo Yu's eyes widened as he received Wang Jian's spiritual message. "If you want your race and yourself to survive another day, take me as your hostage. Only by doing this can you ensure the survival of your people."
Without hesitation, Devil King Mo Yu launched himself towards Wang Jian. The battlefield seemed to freeze as Mo Yu captured him. The sight of Wang Jian in Mo Yu's grasp brought the entire conflict to a standstill.
"Retreat!" Devil King Mo Yu's voice boomed across the battlefield. "All forces, retreat to the Northern Cosmos!"
The Devil Race, seeing their king's dire situation, began to fall back. The allied forces, the Angel Race, and the Heavenly Jade Pavilion paused, uncertain of how to respond. The sudden shift in the battle's dynamics had caught everyone off guard.
