Ophiel shook her head.
"No, she disappeared for a while during the battle, but she probably never left the area under the Spirit Realm Overlay. In other words, she never left Clockwork City, because once she stepped outside, the mechanisms of reality would still have applied. I don't know exactly where she went, though. In fact, it was during her absence that we gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield."
"Otherwise, with her power, we could never have dragged the war out until dawn."
Something stirred in Lin En's heart.
So that was how it was...
Although he had no evidence.
But if he connected this with the fact that the King of the Red Moon, that Outer God, had died here...
Could she have descended here to search for the King of the Red Moon's corpse and authority?
Otherwise, knowing full well that the Great Sun would descend the next day...
What would she have come here for?
Sightseeing?
At that moment.
A complete chain of events gradually unfolded in Lin En's mind.
It was in the years following that battle that the [Vessel Incident] had occurred in Clockwork City. Many orphans, including Mirror, had been abducted or tricked into those institutions after losing their homes during that period. Then came Hana Ye's birth, followed by the fire...
That had happened ten years ago.
And that was when they had confirmed her identity as the perfect vessel.
Lin En drew in a sharp breath.
He looked toward little Hana Ye, who stood there in innocent bewilderment.
If everything was as I suspect, then the Lord of Crimson had already confirmed that Hana Ye was her perfect creation. Yet she kept putting off using her and left her with the Youzhi Family instead. What was she waiting for?
