System: [Extracting...]
Dark red particles began to rapidly detach from Jane's body.
Through a smooth transfer, they flowed into Ye Li's body and then subtly emerged from his wrist.
[Extraction Successful]
The Aether finally condensed into a red gem, nestled between the blue and golden stones.
Because the system's extraction was very gentle and Jane's head was buzzing, she didn't feel anything unusual. She only thought Ye Li was being overly proactive, making her lips tingle…
"Haa..."
After the extraction was complete, Ye Li let go of Jane, allowing her to break free. Gasping for breath, she said, "You… you shouldn't do that. We should hurry and get out first…"
"Uh… alright, I'll take you out."
Ye Li scratched his nose in mild embarrassment, then scooped the little girl up with one arm and took Jane's hand with the other, leading them out of that place...
Bouen～——～——
"Jane! Li! You're out!"
Seeing the three of them safe and sound, Lewis happily rushed over and hugged Ye Li—
"That's great!"
Ye Li chuckled and said, "Why are you so excited?"
"Big brother, big sister."
The little girl in Ye Li's arms suddenly lifted her head and kissed him on the cheek—
"Thank you for saving me~"
"Heh~"
Ye Li tilted his head to look at her and found that this Mexican girl was quite cute.
"Hmm…"
Matilda saw her brother getting kissed by their new friend and slightly pouted, feeling a bit unhappy…
…..
Someone else who was a little unhappy... was Gwen.
Because when she first started using shadow teleportation to rescue people, the doubting voices had sounded quite harsh...
However.
She was comforted knowing that many fans still supported her.
"Run quickly!"
While Gwen was deep in complicated thoughts, a loud shout suddenly rang out—
"It's going to explode!!"
The girl was startled and turned her gaze toward James, who was among the hospital ruins.
She saw fiery orange light surging from his body, and his skin was beginning to crack like a turtle shell…
'It's really going to explode…'
At this critical moment.
Gwen activated her golden light incantation. The golden light transformed into thread-like webs, rapidly binding people in the crowd and hurling them into the shadows.
As for why she didn't just open a shadow portal and let people jump in themselves—
Well, because subconsciously, she wanted to prioritize saving those who had supported her.
Some nasty jerks had insulted her earlier, so, she simply didn't save them first—hmph~
BOOM!!!
As the explosion of the Giant of Light swept through.
Many people were still engulfed by the flames, including that metal-studded-faced thug from earlier…
Gwen didn't have time to save anyone else.
Holding the last little girl she saved, she crashed into a building, preparing to quickly slip away into the shadows.
But.
After entering the building.
The girl was momentarily stunned…
"Every five thousand years, the universe goes through a cycle."
"In each cycle, there is a moment when different worlds align in a straight line."
"Think of this as our world—and this is another world. Normally, they remain separate."
"But when convergence happens, everything becomes connected. The Nine Realms begin to pass through each other."
"Gravity, light, even matter, all start to squeeze from one world into another."
"If this happens, the consequences would be catastrophic. My gravimetric device can stabilize it....."
CRASH!!
Dr. Selvig was pointing at the blackboard explaining when Ghost-Spider crashed through the glass, shielding a little girl as she landed.
"What are you doing?"
Gwen looked around in confusion at Dr. Selvig and the group of relaxed old men below the stage———
Some were playing chess, some dozing off...
As if completely unaware of what was happening outside...
"Oh, Ghost-Spider! Listen, I have a plan to save the world…"
Gwen: ???
"Save yourself first!"
Outside.
A towering inferno was sweeping towards them…
