Similarly, at a seaside restaurant in the Eleventh District, sitting under a sun umbrella eating pizza, CC also looked up towards the distant west, seemingly sensing the previous turmoil of the World Will.
"It’s the first ti the C World has experienced such a tremor, aside from when it first fell into the Abyss. A remarkable figure has arrived..., can you manage it, Beatrice?"
CC spoke with a bit of curiosity to the Witch drinking red tea across from her, dressed in a gown.
"I can’t do it. It took a lot of effort to negotiate with the World Will, and it’s only stable with the help of your connections here. How has that guy grown so fast...?"
Putting down the red tea, Beatrice sighed.
She ca over to recruit new mbers. Although CC seed ordinary at first glance, she saw great potential in CC, soone inherently connected to the World Will. With proper training, she could at least beco an Earth-bound Spirit with a Saintly Position. If she could steal a bit of essence, it should be possible to operate on the outside.
After finally managing everything, a troubleso individual arrived.
Recalling past encounters, Beatrice still felt sowhat heavy-hearted. She almost lost everything completely, and the Yuan Qi she was injured in that attack hadn’t yet recovered. The key issue was that the opponent’s attack seed to carry a strange kind of Pollution.
Even the Sacred Intent had difficulty dispelling it.
"Keep a low profile, don’t let him catch you."
Beatrice lowered her hat slightly, then thought of sothing and asked CC,
"You’ve hidden well, haven’t given anything away, and haven’t had contact with him, right? Could he know anything about you? Don’t cause trouble."
"Haha, it’s the first ti I’ve seen you so nervous."
CC also put down her pizza, stirred her juice with a straw, and winked teasingly at Beatrice.
No matter what Golden Witch the opponent might be, she posed no threat in the world where CC belonged.
"Don’t worry, very few know about . He would need ti to gather information after just arriving. By then, I’ll consider whether to run away with you."
"That’s good. Even divination needs clues."
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief.
Causing such pressure before even eting, this was indeed a first.
"But you actually should be thankful to him. The crazy one from the Burning Legion nearby was probably dealt with by him. Otherwise, we might not have put in so much effort to help you fend him off."
Just as Beatrice said this, the red tea cup she had just put down suddenly cracked, forming nurous fissures.
This left Beatrice sowhat dazed.
CC, curious, asked
"What’s wrong? Why did your cup break?"
"You’re screwing with !"
Beatrice, almost hysterical, nearly grabbed her own hair.
Disaster, I’ve been divined!
Although her passive interference disrupted it sowhat, wasn’t this just giving herself away?
In other worlds, she could use the interference to delay, escaping with CC before being locked in position. The Witch’s thods could prevent pursuit.
But in this world, she didn’t have the sa privileges as the opponent!
Flying away temporarily would require battling the World Will first!
Run away by plane?
Forget planes, even chas would be useless!
The opponent obviously had already made the World Will compromise before!
"Eh?"
CC looked bewildered at the suddenly frantic Beatrice in front of her, wondering what happened to her...
