When these three completed their chain mission, Ace was the first one to know, so he quickly told them to gather together and left the cavern under the palace through a new passage he found in the treasure blueprint.
"Everyone, you all did your part splendidly, and now it's my turn to start on the final mission. I've already found the intel on the target and its location. Within three years, I'll start the mission." Ace solemnly declared without wasting any ti, "But you all have the right to know that after this mission, we'll never have a chance to co to this ti since this mission will end with my ascension. This ans you'll all be coming with , so this might be the last ti you'll ever see the Mortal Sky Heaven."
"I'm okay with that since I don't have any lingering attachnt to this place. Thanks to you, I'd gotten my revenge and even got the chance to enter a broader stage." Freya replied smilingly with deep anticipation in her eyes; as soone with huge ambition, she wouldn't be content with just the Mortal Sky Heaven now that she knew about the higher heaven.
Winter snorted, "Why do I feel like you want to get rid of us? Only an idiot would miss this place."
"I'll follow you anywhere." Noa coldly declared.
Ace sighed as he looked at the three of them. They had all co a long way from being nobodies to the most powerful and influential people in the Mortal Sky Heaven. He was gratified but also afraid of failing this. If he failed, everything would be over, and he couldn't show his fear in front of them.
Freya suddenly inquired, "But don't you need our help with this last mission of yours?"
"No." Ace shook his head.
"After gathering all the intel, I found that only I could do this because of my special cultivation path. Anyone else would be sending themselves to their graves if they infiltrated this place."
"Even we?" Winter questioned in disbelief, and the other two had the sa thoughts.
"Yes, you might not know, but there are two more grades above grade-8, especially the forbidden grade-10, and this place is riddled with formations and traps of this grade and many more things out of your imagination.
"Even I don't dare to enter without full confidence, so you can't partake in this." Ace ruefully stated while revealing so secret information that only he knows. After all, as his allies, they had the right to know about this information.
"Grade-10? What kind of mission is this? Don't tell we are going to die?" Winter retorted with disbelief.
"Nothing like this will co to pass. And why did you seem different?" Ace asked as he finally noticed Winter was far more emotional than her usual self.
"We think there is sothing wrong with her brain," Noa replied coldly before Winter could.
"There's nothing wrong with , you lunatic!" Winter flared as she glared at Noa.
Ace's eyes narrowed, "No, there is really sothing wrong with you. Tell what happened."
"Damn it! I told you all that it's just so reaction from my bloodline, nothing else. Let enter my room, and I'll be fine." Winter finally gave in, feeling very embarrassed in front of Ace.
"System, what is wrong with her?" Ace quickly asked the system with concern.
"[She has absorbed too many personalities with her victim's mories, and now that she's finally herself, it makes her agitate as she was experiencing minor personality disorder. You can think of it as a kind of backlash for absorbing too many mories and pretending to be soone else.]
"[This is the biggest disadvantage of absorbing so many mories and then pretending to be the sa person as a person will eventually lose their true self. But host didn't need to be worry as long as she entered seclusion and cultivate the Faceless Thief Secrets (1st Vol) this backlash will pass. This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't absorbed so many mories recklessly and overworked her soul.]"
Ace's expression instantly darkened, "Then why didn't you warn her? And why am I only hearing about this backlash now? Wouldn't this apply to in the sa way?"
"[She isn't the host, and there's nothing to warn about since the solution to this problem is already available for her. As for the host experiencing the sa, it's not possible because of the Dark Void's existence, or you should've been long-lost yourself. The system had already inford the host that the dark void can absorb all negative emotions and backlashes that normal cultivators would experience in their path of cultivation or with unorthodox ways.]"
At this mont, realization dawned upon him, and he couldn't help but feel glad and more assured. He then told Winter about this backlash, and not just her. The other two were also shocked.
"Now that you understand the problem rember to always use your cultivation techniques if you feel like this again. I know we all have such skills, and this also makes our job easier, but if we take sothing to the extre, it will naturally have consequences.
"Faceless, your role makes you annex your target's mories, so you have to be extra careful. But your cultivation technique is the redy, so you'll all be fine." Ace stated, but he didn't dare tell them about his privilege, or he knew they might start to resent the system.
"Thank you for telling this; I can be more assured now." Winter was relieved.
"You don't have to." Ace nodded before he suddenly rembered sothing and smiled mysteriously, "Oh, in the upcoming days, there will be a new facility opening in the thief's house, so look forward to it. Even I don't know what kind of function it would have, but it will be very beneficial for you guys."
"What kind of facility?"
Everyone's interest was instantly piqued since they all knew anything related to the thief's house would not be ordinary.
"It won't be a surprise if I told you now, would it?" Ace chuckled before he sent the curious mbers into the thief's house.
After everyone left, Ace's jolly expression turned grim.
'I don't have much ti. Once I stole this space treasury, the finale will begin!'
