Cloud City.
When the first beam of red light appeared, only the Federation seemed to be affected. Cloud City remained entirely normal due to the existence of some kind of barrier.
Except Xu Zhi, who was leaning against Little Aberration, suddenly opened her eyes as if sensing something.
For some time now, she had been almost entirely immersed in trying to connect her extraordinary ability, [Authority], with the fragment. It was unexpectedly difficult.
The fragment did not seem to like the extraordinary energy of the [Moth] attribute and strongly resisted completely merging with her extraordinary energy. This made Xu Zhi wonder how she had managed to consume this fragment in the first place.
However, by constantly adjusting the form of her extraordinary energy as it connected with the fragment, Xu Zhi gained a deeper grasp of [Authority].
She vaguely felt that this extraordinary ability was not as "simple" as it currently appeared. Perhaps only when her extraordinary level rose would it reveal what it was truly meant to be. Her level was limiting it.
But the extraordinary levels in this world were now locked, and Xu Zhi had no way to advance at all.
Still, perhaps on the day [Authority] successfully connected with the fragment, when she successfully merged the fragment into her extraordinary ability, something beyond her expectations would happen.
It was a kind of intuition, and Xu Zhi firmly believed in it.
At this moment, although she had not succeeded, these past few months had given her a more comprehensive understanding and command of herself. She had fully digested all the knowledge crammed into her mind. Xu Zhi could feel that her brain was in a state of "clarity and rationality" unlike anything she had ever experienced.
For mysticism, in a sense, possessing knowledge truly meant possessing power.
