When Qi Huang returned to this worldline, she distinctly felt a set of shackles clamp down on her power.
The world rejected a Servant's power, leaving Qi Huang able to wield only fifty percent of her original strength.
That fifty percent was nothing to scoff at. She could still trounce a weaker True Ancestor, such as Lita Rozay-en.
That made it easy to imagine just how powerful the gatekeeper Qi Huang was at her peak.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the two Qi Huangs fought, the other one could kill his Qi Huang in an instant.
Qi Huang herself admitted that, with her current strength, she was absolutely no match for the gatekeeper Qi Huang.
Even inside the house, screened off by the formation, Qi Huang dared not let the slightest trace of her power escape, afraid she would be detected.
Otherwise, faced with Marie Antoinette's aggressive attitude last night, Qi Huang would surely have rolled up her sleeves and fought her.
Yuan Shikai was pondering exactly why Kishua had sent Qi Huang here.
Since she was no match for the gatekeeper, had Kishua summoned her simply to draw the other woman's attention and keep her from interfering in his battle with Crimson Moon?
That did not make sense either. The gatekeeper could dispose of Qi Huang quickly, and Kishua should have been well aware of that.
Meanwhile, Kishua's battle with Crimson Moon was bound to be a drawn-out affair, so buying that little time would be meaningless.
Qi Huang herself provided the answer, and it caught Yuan Shikai by surprise.
Qi Huang said, "I think Kishua wants me to reunite with that gatekeeper and help my gatekeeper self regain her emotions."
Yuan Shikai said, "What? Reunite and regain her emotions? What does that mean?"
