Yet the demon king’s attack paused mid-air, and in this moment, the female assassin moved incredibly quickly, flipping and disappearing, leaving only the silver-white box suspended in mid-air, deviating from the protection sphere’s trajectory, becoming the target of the demon king’s power.
Amidst Piping’s cry of alarm, the unused world switch was reduced to ashes along with the massive stone pillar.
Lux’s expression darkened; he immediately spread a barrier to protect the device’s main body.
“It’s useless. With the switch destroyed, the device will collapse,” Ifa concluded, trembling.
But the device under the Grand Priest’s protection showed no signs of change. A faint shadow suddenly appeared on the transparent cover, and the black dagger easily pierced through the temple’s proud barrier. The female assassin landed gracefully, her fingers like dancing butterflies moving across the complex device several times. A silver box popped out from the gears—the device’s keyhole.
The assassin flipped her palm, revealing the world switch just destroyed. She removed the key, tossed the box to Ifa, and said with a mocking laugh, “Farewell, everyone.”
The moment he spoke, the key twisted back, the lock cylinder returning to position with a soft click.
The device and the female assassin vanished without a trace.
“That was another observer from the future, possessing the most powerful weapon,” Pi Ping looked at the other three people and continued analyzing unhurriedly, “She came alone, which certainly means she has already used the observer’s ability once; but she activated the device again, which means…” He suddenly burst into laughter: “Another version of myself from another world gave her the ability.”
“So what was just destroyed…” Yi Xia coughed and whispered.
Li Xite spoke for the first time, her voice ethereal and distant: “Was her world’s world switch.” The Grand Sage added emotionlessly, “She used our power to completely destroy the future’s Magic Creature No. 2 and also took away the Magic Creature No. 2 from here.”
The Grand Sage turned toward the silent container and sighed: “In other words… you are now free.”
Lukes’ face slightly contorted, he waved his sleeve but couldn’t vent his anger with his power. The High Priest’s eyes seemed about to burn, grinding his teeth: “Pi Ping… even another version of you is hopelessly foolish.”
