The flowing and undulating curves contained an extremely beautiful rhythm, making it an absolute anomaly among the predominantly knight and warrior-style Silver Fae.
But being an anomaly is a testament to being ’strong.’
Mercury Spring is actually the ’brain’ of the Silver Fae squad.
Silver Salt, though the captain, is ultimately just a very strong fighter. After all, to have died fifteen times from challenging powerful warriors is quite rare, even among the Silver Fae known for their belligerent recklessness.
One must know that if a Fae loses their fighting spirit and faith, even the immortal fae will gradually dissolve themselves, turning into soul fragments in the Fairy Furnace to construct a new fae... Many fae choose self-dissolution because as they live too long, their free hearts are gradually filled with worldly failures, regrets, and bitterness, eventually transforming into a new existence.
Silver Salt’s ability to maintain a vigorous fighting spirit and ’self’ after fifteen failures is truly astonishing willpower.
On the flip side, a reckless nature that leads to dying fifteen times from challenging strong opponents makes it completely impossible to become a leader, even among fae.
Because Mercury Spring reincarnated relatively late this time, they are not very powerful, but they possess means of communication with Silver Fae Seer and Mechanical Dragon Afeiboya.
This is achieved through the fae’s special soul structure, surpassing ordinary constraints of space-time with ’Void Realm Communication’!
"I represent Falling Star City and the Orthodox Church’s ’Witness,’ and I need to convey some bad news to you two."
At present, however, this Mercury Spring Fairy approached Sio and Yisen, the strongest duo present, and said gravely, "My Void Realm Communication has been blocked... In Canaan Moore, those capable of such a feat are either the Silver Gate and National Domain among the Blood of the Ten Kings or a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse!"
"I have reason to infer that a battle among Fourth Energy Level powerhouses has already commenced at the relics!"
"If possible, I hope the two of you can retrieve the Storage Crystal Chip from the ’Crystal Cabinet’ and join us in resisting the impending impact — rest assured, those are your spoils of war, and we will absolutely not make a grab for them."
In saying this, Mercury Spring indeed had ulterior motives.
It is true that Falling Star City and the Four Great Orthodox Churches came this time merely to ’witness.’
They won’t seize any treasures from any side, but rather, they will provide medical aid to the defeated while preventing further assaults or sabotage that could lead to a mutually destructive end.
The infighting among the Terran Forces has led to the irreparable loss of Primordial Era technology on numerous occasions, a situation unacceptable to all.
Only the Four Great Orthodox Churches, Falling Star City, and Dragon Island have the credibility and strength to ensure impartiality, safeguarding what belongs to humans as ’precious legacies.’
Of course, if the relics relate to the ’True Dragon,’ Dragon Island would rightfully participate too.
It is for this reason that, should any mishap occur within the relics, the competing parties are unable to guarantee the safety of the ’treasures’ and ’legacies’ and must rely on these neutral forces to secure or collaborate in preservation. Then, they might obtain the opportunity to collaborate on research or copy key information for storage.
The complexities of the power struggle are significant; generally speaking, few would outright refuse the assistance of the Four Great Orthodox Churches, Falling Star City, or Dragon Island.
"Is it really happening so soon?"
However, Mercury Spring found both Sio and Yisen wearing calm expressions, as though they knew beforehand: "In that case, soon, the big one is coming."
At these words, Sio gave Mercury Spring a rather spirited look and shook that small, cold mercury hand: "Thanks for the warning, Fae!"
"We would very much like to join forces with you, but this time, it seems we all have to look after ourselves."
And it was in that very moment of handshake.
Mercury Spring widened their mercury eyes, gazing intently at the Red-haired Dragon Girl and the sky behind her.
A brand-new sun appeared in the sky behind Sio.
The blazing sun abruptly appeared in the firmament of the Subspace, its visible ultra-hot stream forming a corona, stretching like a snake that entwines the sun over the horizon.
But this was just the beginning.
Because in less than ten seconds, this tiny, exploding star vanished, and what followed was the terrifying supergravity potent enough to pierce both the Void Realm and Subspace—
Extreme gravitational turmoil erupted across Dragon Bone Plaza. Whether it was the Exobeasts in battle or Exploration Team members engaging in secret skirmishes, everyone experienced the duet of weightlessness and gravity pressure in that instant.
"Wow! Are we flying?!"
"No, this is hypergravity—"
Except for those of Second Energy Level, everyone else could not withstand the alternating shifts in gravity, with most being knocked unconscious by the aftermath.
And it wasn’t just people.
Even the immensely sturdy ground and the core area of the Exotic Species Research Institute began to crack as if an earthquake was shaking the world.
A massive black fissure suddenly appeared amidst the violent tremors, the earth tearing apart, with the crack resembling a row of jagged shark teeth, starting from afar and stretching towards Dragon Bone Plaza.
