• Heathcliff and Captain of the 5th Division argued that Echidna’s abilities would not overcome the others’ reasons for refusing her.

After the Witch Tea Party, Beatrice broke down over Echidna’s apparent rejection and the centuries she had spent waiting for someone who was never chosen.

After Bai Xuan left, Beatrice remained alone in the Forbidden Library and chose to keep waiting for Echidna’s promised person, though his words left her wondering if she could choose for herself.

• Shendu mocked Marquis Voban in the Chat Group for needing the Dog Talisman and losing to a mere Mortal, and Voban angrily insisted Reinhard was no ordinary human.
• Voban recalled how Reinhard’s strength grew during their battle, his attacks were blocked or redirected, and the Divine Protections of Life and Stamina restored his injuries and endurance.

• Su Yunqing told the group that Reinhard had more than forty Divine Protections, including one that granted him any Divine Protection he wanted, and that he would defeat even several powerful group members in his home world.
• Marquis Voban realized Reinhard’s protections had repeatedly erased his weaknesses and countered his Authorities, and accepted that he could not have won.

• Bai Xuan said Luo Hao had chosen to keep the power, and that Chat Group members could reach their worlds’ limits without sacrificing themselves.
