My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2277

This was why they chose to act at noon. Between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, the God of Shadows' powers would be significantly weakened.

With this advantage, the three of them might stand a chance against it.

However, they now found themselves in a precarious situation. Though weakened, the deity remained a formidable opponent.

"There must be a way. This being must have a weakness," Sterling asserted. He was certain that a creature formed from two vastly different substances would have a point of rejection. If they could find it, victory might be possible.

Sven continued his assault, landing a punch on the God of Shadows. However, nothing happened as his fist passed right through the deity's body.

The God of Shadows then grabbed Sven and countered with a punch of its own.

Sven was sent flying several meters.

"Damn, this fight is so unfair," he grumbled.

...

At 12:10 pm, several minutes had passed since the explosion.

As the thick smoke cleared, there was still no sign of the three.

Lillia had used her ability to escape with the other two to the rooftop. She picked up the talisman paper she had left there earlier.

"Good thing I prepared this. I knew it wouldn't be that simple, though using it now feels like a waste..."

At that moment, Puelo was still signaling the two to leave quickly.

Lillia then placed a talisman on him, finally allowing Puelo, who had been bound by the God of Shadows, to speak.

Puelo hurriedly said, "Quick, run! The entire building is unsafe!"

Lillia and Mallory did not understand his meaning. With all three now on the rooftop, jumping down from the hundred-story building seemed too risky.

At 12:15 pm, Sven and his two companions' attacks could not harm the God of Shadows. Instead, they were forced to defend desperately against each of its strikes.

Despite trying everything, the three could not inflict even the slightest damage.

However, they also realized that the God of Shadows needed to stay in areas untouched by sunlight. This could be their breakthrough.

The three strong fighters instinctively understood each other, having roughly figured out how to defeat their enemy.

"Let's go!" Sterling commanded, and they charged toward the shadow.

The shadow's six eyes were not just for show. Laser beams shot from them, instantly plunging anything they touched into the shadows.

Avery ignited flames on his chest, providing temporary protection against the attacks.

However, Sterling knew this was not a long-term solution. Avery's ability was simply him gambling with his life. The flame totems on his body were already fading. If they could not drag the God of Shadows into sunlight soon, their side might fall first.
