(How is this possible—!?)
Witnessing Oko, Weimeng, Firona, and Erigat appear around him from all four directions at the same instant, while every blood-based defense around him crumbled within the stopped time, Ye Chen's eyes were instantly clouded with shock and disbelief.
Ye Chen had known, of course, that Oko would activate Solitary Light Journey again to stop time.
