The Blank Worms' target had been the Beggar Arch-Priest, the guide, from the very beginning.
They wanted to devour the Arch-Priest's authority, thereby forcing open the sealed gateway to the Thirty-Third Sector and entering to plunder its books.
What Tang Qi had endured earlier was the retaliation after he attacked first.
In other words, if Tang Qi left now with Rose and Alice V, the Blank Worms would not make any move against the three of them.
Unfortunately, Tang Qi would not do that.
Not only because of his own way of doing things, but also because thirty-two "Roses" were currently facing the risk of falling.
From the First Sector to the Thirty-Second Sector, none had been spared. All had suffered invasions.
And even now, Tang Qi and Rose still did not know how many Blank Worms had invaded, much less what the other Rose Madelines were facing.
Worse still, they did not even know.
What the hell were the Blank Worms?
"Snap."
With another snap of his fingers, Tang Qi saved the Beggar Arch-Priest's life.
At the same time, Tang Qi did not annihilate all the Blank Worms.
He left one behind. Using a Dream Bubble as material and layering Forced Narrative, tranquility, and the Authority of Creation, he temporarily created a Transparent Container and contained one Blank Worm within it.
Without wasting any time, he cast Omniscience and focused on analysis.
The gaze from Tang Qi's Soul Eyes directly fixed the Blank Worm into a "State of Existence."
It was trapped within the bubble and became observable.
Rose, Alice V, and the Beggar Arch-Priest all saw the invader's outward form at the same time.
A dim gleam gradually surfaced in Tang Qi's eyes, while fragments began flowing through his mind.
It was somewhat difficult, but he ultimately succeeded.
