Death City, teleport point.
All 52 members of the Life Soul Squad, led by Yang Xiu, had assembled here.

At Yang Xiu's command, every squad member raised their wrist or touched the insignia worn on their chest almost simultaneously.
They activated their respective Elysium Space devices.

The clinking of potion bottles accompanied the activity.

He had promptly produced imitation Elysium Potions.
Their effectiveness naturally could not compare
