Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2675: 1470: Questions and Allies (Part 2)

“Hey, wouldn’t you all be secretly despising me deep down?”

The figure in the pink hood fixed their gaze on Leo Ray briefly, furrowing their brows while saying, “True enough, for regular folks, the Power of Divine Grace remains a profound enigma that's tough to spot. Even though I can't wield it personally, that doesn't imply I'm clueless about it! The Outer Region stretches endlessly, and wielders of the Power of Divine Grace aren't exclusive to you alone, young one!”

A touch of intrigue laced the pink-hooded person's tone as they inquired, “On that note, young Human Clan member, just how did you come by the Power of Divine Grace? Plenty of Human Clan powerhouses roam the outside too. When exactly did the Human Clan muster the boldness and might to venture into the Outer Region?”

“Your Excellency, our time is limited; let's prioritize escaping this place. Surely you've observed that our mission here involves wiping out witch demons and demons, but their spatial disruptions have flung us all over, turning every moment into a deadly gamble.”

Leo Ray cut off the other's inquisitive line, offering a wry grin.

“Fair point; focusing on the essentials is key.”

The pink-hooded person dismissed the topic with a wave, and soon the group exited the hall, stepping back into the open area near the modest wooden dwelling.

Right then, Leo Ray spotted that this open space featured surprisingly fertile ground, a stark contrast to the glassy crystals covering everywhere else.

“My personal storage dimension is vast enough for an entire city, so carrying some earth is no issue.”

Catching Leo Ray's interested look, the pink-hooded person shrugged indifferently, gesturing toward the hovering crystals that kept displaying external views: “As you can tell, I'm stuck away from actual space thanks to that demon's barrier blocking the way.”

“Normally, even if the foe outmatched me slightly, I'd find a method to shatter this simple spatial blockade. The trouble lies in their superior power plus the backing of Evil God Power!”

A trace of annoyance colored the pink-hooded person's words as they went on, “That's the reason I've stayed confined here, failing to pierce the enemy's spatial shield.”

Finishing that, the pink-hooded person let out another sigh, their voice tinged with resignation, “All this stems from my excessive nosiness. While traveling past here, I stumbled upon this forsaken city twisted by spatial folds and slipped inside out of sheer curiosity, only to stir up that monster who pursued me without mercy. In a panic, I got hemmed in by spatial lockdown, then dashed into a rift, ending up caught in this trap like a fly in a web, with no escape.”

“So, by tapping into my Power of Divine Grace, we can make it back to the real world?”

Excitement sparkled in Leo Ray's eyes, lighting up his entire expression.

“Exactly, I've studied this spatial barrier for years, needing just that last bit of effort!”

The pink-hooded person affirmed with an eager nod.

“Your Excellency, I have one final query.”

Leo Ray steadied his racing pulse and posed, “Yet if the enemy senses us during the breach of the spatial barrier, wouldn't our efforts go to waste?”

“No need to fret; while the foe's spatial folding is potent and aggressive, it lacks finesse. Consequently, these spatial fissures here form and burst like dewdrops in a storm, staying wildly volatile. If not, it wouldn't have crumbled from your mere presence.”

The pink-hooded person's tone stayed steady as they explained, “Thus, not even the spell's originator can master these myriad spatial cracks; otherwise, they'd have pinpointed my location ages ago. Would I still be hunkered down here?”

“I grasp it completely now. So, once we're back in real space, what are your intentions, Your Excellency?”

Leo Ray arched an eyebrow subtly, voicing his top concern.

From the other's account, he'd unraveled his inner doubts progressively, steering straight to the core issue.

“I see what you're driving at—you're hoping I'll join your cause, correct?”

The pink-hooded figure cut straight to it without evasion, “That demon has kept me pinned here for decades, so naturally, I won't let them escape easily. Our aims match up, so aiding you makes sense, though I've got my own tasks ahead, so don't expect me as your lifelong guardian.”

“Your Excellency's offer to assist is gratitude enough; I'd never presume more.”

Leo Ray flashed a relaxed smile and inclined his head toward the other.

Though the pink-hooded person had concealed their identity and background from Leo Ray, their readiness to fight alongside him sufficed for now.

“Young Human Clan member, one last warning: that demon is a genuine Seventh Stage powerhouse, a mythic demigod whose might eclipses Tier 6 experts by far, so never take them lightly.”

The pink-hooded figure gestured once more, stowing the entire wooden house and adjacent field, adding, “If you're not up to the challenge, don't assume I'll follow you into doom; if so, don't fault me for bolting away fast.”

“I get your point, Your Excellency.”

Leo Ray dipped his head faintly and queried with interest, “In that case, could I learn about your own power level?”

“No secrets here; I'm at half-step Tier 7.”

The pink-hooded figure declared, planting hands on hips and thrusting out their chest proudly, “So treat me with due deference; I've already stepped into demigod territory with one foot!”

“Of course.”

Leo Ray wouldn't slight the other, responding with a grin, “Very well, Semi-Demigod Your Excellency, how exactly should I assist you in shattering the spatial barrier?”

“Shortly, I'll set up an energy-feeding formation, and you'll simply channel the Power of Divine Grace; I'll manage everything else!”

The pink-hooded person appeared geared up, and with a quick turn of their gloved hand, a vibrant short staff materialized.

Thanks to his deep knowledge of artifacts, Leo Ray instantly recognized it as a pristine Tier 6 Wand, impeccably preserved.

Judging by their perceptiveness and gear, this being was clearly exceptional, likely hailing from a top-tier faction among the Ten Thousand Clans, an entity far above Leo Ray's current standing.

Furthermore, this marked the first non-enhanced Tier 6 Wand he'd encountered. Still, he refrained from upgrading it impulsively right there, avoiding any risk of sparking avarice that could harm his position.

“Young Human Clan member, prepare yourself; I'm starting now!”

As the pink-hooded person announced, the ornate staff swept through the air, summoning a colossal gray magical circle overhead that began turning gradually, resembling a colossal cogwheel.

And right below that enormous array, where Leo Ray's team stood, a matching miniature version emerged, echoing the one suspended above.

“Young Human Clan member, pour in the Power of Divine Grace whenever you're ready!”

The pink-hooded person commanded, their formidable presence flaring as they pressed on with the incantation.

At those words, Leo Ray concentrated fully, directing a steady flow of Power of Divine Grace into the petite formation at his feet.

The moment the Power of Divine Grace integrated with the small formation, its soft golden glow rapidly expanded over the gray array's surface, making the whole structure gleam more intensely.

At the same time, the massive array aloft replicated the change, with waves of pale golden light rippling outward.

Bolstered by the golden sheen, the giant array accelerated its spin, hurtling straight at the sleek crystal barrier and unleashing surges of turbulent Space Power.

Yet, even as Leo Ray and the pink-hooded figure collaborated to tear down the spatial barrier, far inside the Bone Hall at the Giant City's heart, a huge shadow sprawled in the chamber's depths suddenly snapped open its crimson eyes, clearly sensing a disturbance.
