"Aunt Xu, help me!"
The moment the cry reached her ears, Lin Qinyue felt the body she had been controlling so freely grow sluggish again.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted away from the sky and toward the ground.
All the while, she kept muttering under her breath:
"None of you can ever settle down, can you..."
"Why does Black Star's bargain-bin eldest son need help too?"
Yet when she saw what was happening on the ground, her expression turned grave once more.
For no other reason than that—
The situation below was no less terrifying than the horrifying colossal creature emerging from the Rift in the sky!
Black Star, who had cried for help, darted and weaved as he sped across the ground, which had already become a rubble-strewn wasteland.
Close behind him followed an enormous, blurry phantom.
The phantom crawled like a caterpillar. Though its movements appeared slow overall, its pursuit speed was astonishingly fast!
At where its head should have been was a gigantic maw whose boundaries could not be discerned by the naked eye. It continuously opened and closed as it crawled, swallowing everything in its path!
"What the fuck is that thing now?!"
Lin Qinyue cried out inwardly.
"...A Devourer." Xu Xiao's gentle reply sounded in her mind, immediately answering Lin Qinyue's question.
But just as Xu Xiao was about to explain further, Lin Qinyue suddenly felt the authorities of "Tolerance" and "justice," which had previously obeyed her as readily as her own limbs, begin to stir restlessly.
Even the white thorns condensed from the power of those authorities began trending toward losing control.
In her panic, Lin Qinyue could only cry out softly:
"Stop talking and focus on suppressing it! If the sacred will awakens inside you, it'll all be over!"
"Mm, alright." Xu Xiao answered
