The Mimic Venerable King is exhaustively exerting itself to save people.
In fact, this is also the solution after its communication with Xue Dili. Both sides could simultaneously harness the full power of the Beast of the End, but for the Mimic Venerable King, this power of the Beast of the End was utterly dispensable, beneath its notice.
Thus, the power of the Beast of the End was handed over to Xue Dili, while the Mimic Venerable King took on the role of a flexible responder, to see if the apostle on the opposite side would pull some unexpected stunts that the two hadn't foreseen.
Sure enough, the apostle left the two speechless. It was the first time they'd seen someone stab themselves and then ask if the other side was afraid. So the Mimic Venerable King took the opportunity to assign the task of saving people to itself, allowing Xue Dili to continue pursuing the Seventh Apostle.
