Awareness

The real trump card had always been hidden in the shadows.

Long Yi firmly believed in this.

After seizing control of "Prometheus" on Fish-Man Island that day, he had never abandoned his research into Homies.

Hard work paid off.

After merging with Zunesha's soul essence on Zou, he had finally completely mastered Prometheus's secrets.

His strength soared, and his accomplishments in the field of souls rose to another level.

Using his own soul to merge with Charlotte Linlin's soul power, Long Yi created an entirely new soul construct based on Prometheus.

A Homies that belonged completely to him.

That was why he had been willing to let Charlotte Pudding bring Prometheus back.

Of course, carrying out an assassination in the Charlotte Family's headquarters while posing as a Homies was unrealistic.

As Charlotte Linlin's weapon, Prometheus was subject to far too many restrictions.

But serving as eyes and ears, then delivering a fatal blow from behind at a critical moment—

That was still relatively simple.

Bang.

After Prometheus floated out of the room, it first checked whether anyone was nearby. Once it confirmed there was no one around, the flames on the grinning sun suddenly blazed up.

A muffled boom rang out. In the blink of an eye, red light burst forth, and a crimson figure leaped from the ashes of the flames, landing on the hard-candy floor.

Looking closely, the figure was only the size of a fist. Its skin was dark, while its limbs and hair were blood-red, giving it an extremely bizarre appearance.

"Phew... I can finally relax for a while."

Muttering to himself, the Fire Spirit stretched his illusory body.

After identifying a direction, he silently concealed himself. Familiar with the route, he wound through the castle built from sweets and soon arrived at an unoccupied corner.
