"Why..."
Monrojina clutched her pierced abdomen, looking at Ye Qiyan, unsure what expression she should even make.
"Hmm? Why what?"
"Why did you come here..."
"To collect a debt."
Ye Qiyan frowned slightly as he looked at Monrojina's wound.
Even under the radiance of Redemption, the wound was indeed healing this slowly.
"...Didn't I tell you not to come..."
Monrojina felt the pain coming from her abdomen.
This wasn't the first time Ye Qiyan had seen her in such a sorry state.
From Solo City back then to now.
Imperial Sequence's number two, Ms. Charlatan, somehow seemed even more fragile than Zhuxing Tu.
"Did you? That wooden kite broke. The message was incomplete."
"...Then hurry and leave. Your injuries haven't healed yet. I can feel it... you're very tired..."

Blood flowed from her eyes and down her cheeks.
"I won't deny that. Killing a True God really wore me out.
But Gina, I didn't come here just for you."
Her physical condition had nearly stabilized. At least she wasn't bleeding anymore, but Ye Qiyan could sense that her mind was already on the verge of collapse.
It was even showing signs of deteriorating further.
"I understand... heh... I'm just a failure who couldn't complete the King's Authority Pathway... I... mmph..."
"Don't talk like that. It's boring."
Ye Qiyan stuffed a Golden Apple into Monrojina's mouth, stopping her words.
Then he withdrew his gaze and turned toward the man at the absolute center of this golden space.
Behind him, Lisette looked coldly at Monrojina, snorted, and followed him.
"You shouldn't have come."
Lu Cangxiao, now a True God, spoke expressionlessly.
"I accepted something from someone. Naturally, I had to satisfy my curiosity."
Ye Qiyan took out the [Heaven Key].
