"Ye Qiyan has appeared."
The Assassins of the City of a Thousand Stars received word of their companions' deaths.
"The first stage of the assassination proved ineffective, as expected. But just as Think Tank analyzed, Ye Qiyan possesses a conceptual defense similar to the Golden Race's Seven Virtues, as well as a possession-type protective sacred mark.
To hit him, we must exceed the threshold of that protection."
Pei Yong listened to her subordinates' analysis, unconcerned.
"Hmph, making a fuss over nothing. Ye Qiyan's weakness is so obvious. I really don't know why that brat Lu Jiayun is wasting so many resources on him."
"My lady, you should still be careful... After all... he possesses three Blasphemy Cards and is the master of two different Card Sequences."
The Assassin beside her offered a quiet reminder, but Pei Yong still paid it no mind.
"I told you, his weakness is obvious. In fact, the more abilities he has, the more fatal that weakness becomes. It's a weakness belonging to geniuses. The greater the genius, the worse that weakness is. No one is exempt.
Soon, soon... Right here. Have those False Gods drive everyone else farther away. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Now that The End unleashed by Dream Eater had been completely shut down because of Ye Qiyan, Pei Yong broke through Arcane Academy City's blockade and finally reached Yulia.
Through the ring, she looked at Yulia with eyes full of longing, yet behind that longing lay a measure of confusion.
"Strange. She's just as flawless, yet she doesn't give me that sense of absolute perfection I felt when that Golden Tree appeared earlier. Am I imagining things? Or is there another member of the Golden Race?"
Pei Yong shook her head and stopped dwelling on it. She held an X-shaped firearm.
