At the time, that knife was only 0.01 centimeters from my throat.
But my heart held not the slightest bit of panic.
There was even a hint of excitement.
Because after 0.01 seconds had passed and I dodged that knife,
I decided to recruit this warrior under my command.
She was mine!
—Inner monologue of Demon Queen Morgana.
"Ashe, what are you doing!"
The instant Ashe drew her blade, Qilin cried out in alarm to stop her.
But Ashe acted as if she hadn't heard, and the blade, accompanied by flashes of lightning, continued to slash straight toward the two of them.
Rose, who instinctively felt herself within the attack's target area, immediately tried to summon a wormhole to dodge.
But Ajie, standing beside her, grabbed her hand and calmly stopped her.
"Don't dodge. We're not the target!"
The next second, accompanied by a thunderous boom,
a huge crack instantly split the white wall, and the lights on the floor where they stood
were also affected by the violet lightning accompanying Ashe's slash, flickering erratically.
Amid the sparks from the exposed wires revealed by the ruined wall,
the cold-faced Ashe silently raised her blade and pointed it at the empty space beside Ajie and Rose.
"Come out. Otherwise, my next strike will be faster. I won't let you dodge so easily again."
Under everyone's suspicious gazes, in the place that had been empty moments ago,
a black-haired woman in a beige trench coat slowly emerged from the void.
At the same time, as if talking to herself, she said excitedly,
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Are you really that powerful?"
"I hid all my dark information and Dark Energy fluctuations, but you still managed to detect my location."
"That was a great slash. If it had hit me, I'd even wonder whether this divine body I just upgraded would have been split in two by a single strike from you."
Staring at Ashe, who held her blade tightly, her expression laced with solemnity and wariness,
Morgana's gaze gradually grew heated, like an archaeologist discovering a priceless treasure, like a starving person finding an oasis in the desert.
At that moment, Morgana was extremely pleased with Ashe's performance.
"You're truly impressive. Can you tell me how you found me, warrior?"
The woman praised her sincerely, without the slightest hint of nervousness at having her concealment seen through.
Instead, she carefully looked Ashe up and down and asked,
"Was it your Super Gene? Or the weapon in your hand?"
"Super Gene? Who exactly are you? How do you know about Super Genes? Are you an alien? What's your purpose in coming to Earth?"
Before Ashe could answer, Rose was the first to question her from the side.
At the same time, with a thought, a pistol appeared in Rose's hand.
In response to Rose's questioning, the woman merely glanced at her indifferently.
She then turned her gaze toward Ashe.
Waiting for her answer.
Seeing this, Rose, who had been ignored, instinctively wanted to raise her gun and move forward.
Xiao Zhang and Qilin beside her also drew their pistols.
They aimed their weapons at the woman.
Only Ajie suddenly reached out and stopped Rose.
Looking at the smiling woman before him,
Ajie said, "Which star system are you from? What brings you to our Earth?"
"Rest assured. As far as our Super Seminary is concerned, all visitors are guests. We're very hospitable."
"Just tell us what you need, and we can provide you with appropriate assistance."
"Oh? Super Seminary?"
