Hua Yuan had barely finished describing Cherry's illness when Angel saw a message drift into the team chat channel:
"Laplace: The abnormal sensation around Cherry really is ether energy..."
Angel glanced at Laplace beside him in confusion.
Come to think of it, he had noticed earlier that Laplace seemed to be paying Cherry particular attention. Could this be why?
"Laplace: After I completed the side quest 'Step into the Dreamscape, Ask and See the Truth,' I was rewarded with an Ether Converter."
Sigmund had also been rewarded with an Ether Converter, but he had immediately stored it away after receiving it.
Laplace was different. Thinking she had nothing better to do, she sat nearby and began studying the Ether Converter.
She certainly could not have uncovered any results in such a short time.
But just then, Cherry and Hua Yuan had arrived at the Underwater Church.
The moment they arrived, Laplace sensed a faint disturbance from the Ether Converter. Especially when it drew close to Cherry, that sensation became even clearer.
That was why Laplace had paid Cherry so much attention. She had been curious why Cherry could trigger the Ether Converter.
Now, after hearing Hua Yuan's account, she finally understood why.
The Ether Converter's effect was to absorb ether energy and convert it into an Ether Core.
Since Cherry contained ether energy, she naturally caused the Ether Converter to stir...
"Angel: I originally thought ether energy could only exist in the Dark Corner. I didn't expect Fashion Demonic Beasts to have it too?"
"Laplace: This Cherry is probably just special. I held the Ether Converter near Turing just now, and there was no reaction."
If every Fashion Demonic Beast could trigger the Ether Converter, that would mean it was a common phenomenon among them. But now Cherry was the
