Ren Suo, Fourth Cycle!

"Wake up."

Ren Suo blinked. His body naturally fell under the pull of gravity, but thick Violet Light Ropes were tightly cinched around him, leaving only his head hanging down. His neck felt exhausted.

He turned his head and saw Sony's cold, arrogant face. He too was bound by Violet Light Ropes. Just now, he had used their mental link to softly call Ren Suo in his mind.

Because Luo Yan City was a city where sun and moon shone together, the Night Moon Warrior's trait of "becoming wise at night" had naturally activated. He could now act automatically without Ren Suo's commands. If Ren Suo gave an order, he would respond according to his personality traits—since the avatar was currently in Sony's form, even when waking Ren Suo, he would not call out loud, but secretly and tsunderely call to him in his mind.

Ren Suo straightened up and raised his head to survey his surroundings. He found himself inside a white tower. The walls reflected a cold alloy sheen. Looking up, he could not see the tower's peak, only rainbow-like warm light pouring down from above.

Behind them stood Lanaya, the Shadow Great Law who had bound the two of them. Before them, upon an alloy throne blessed by the tower's radiance, sat an emperor clad in a Burning Flame Robe, with golden hair and divine eyes—

"Ant, who gave you permission to look directly at me?"

Divine light burst from Siddis's eyes. Terrifying mental energy slammed into Ren Suo's mind like a piledriver. Ren Suo's consciousness was instantly churned into jam, utterly losing the ability to think. Commands and obedience protocols were implanted into him, turning him completely into a slave at another's mercy!

Lanaya showed no reaction. She did not particularly need to control the Otherworld
