Cyrene's voice abruptly cut off. Her pink lips parted slightly, frozen in the shape of someone trying to speak, yet no sound came out.
Cyrene saw that the key in Chen Li's hand, which should have required its safety to be unlocked before it could be opened, had had its casing forcibly "opened"—or rather, torn apart.
Countless blinding radial cracks spread from the point of force. Tiny fragments carrying the memories of the entire universe burst from those cracks, yet miraculously gathered around the key as though drawn in by some force.
The key let out a mournful cry, like a battered wife accusing her capable husband of dragging her into broad daylight and beating her senseless.
Cyrene tilted her head instinctively.
It was the most instinctive reaction and most helpless confusion Cyrene could offer in the face of something so incomprehensible and beyond common sense.
No, partner... was this right?
That was pure brute force!
Aha, seeing this scene, instinctively shrank back.
Aha's strange reaction caught Chen Li's attention.
Seeing Chen Li look her way, Aha took a step back, shielded Sparkle in front of her, hid behind Sparkle, and muttered softly, "If you break Remembrance, then you're not allowed to break Elation too."
Now that Aha was also a Heroic Spirit, also an Aeon, and could likewise turn her own power into a key, the scene before her was practically a horror movie!
Like Sadako witnessing Erlang Shen flick ash from his cigarette and directly turn Silent Hill into Flaming Mountain.
Because Aha could tell that Chen Li had not merely broken open the key. He had used brute force to crack the entire Path of Remembrance.
Aha felt wronged.
Aha was still a child. Why did she have to watch a horror movie?!
Believe it or not,
