Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

"..."

The first question already sounds explosive enough.

"The power of the end? Why do you want to confirm this?" Durandal seemed to have grasped a glimpse of the truth, but she couldn't understand the many questions surrounding it.

Bai Yan simply explained the situation in his world.

The three people opposite them suddenly understood.

“In that case, it’s reasonable for you to want to see him—but it’s impossible right now. We need to reunite with Kiana and the others. Why don’t you come along? Perhaps Kiana, as the Herrscher of the Void, can help us,” Durandal suggested.

“Alright,” Bai Yan nodded. “Since that’s the case, in order to save time, I will take you to our destination.”

As he spoke, a tornado slowly rose up.

Li Sushang's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh! It's that wind-controlling technique from earlier, right?"

"Of course."

"Ha ha!"

Rita frowned, not particularly fond of this move, but did not object.

The Holy Pillar of Wind enveloped everyone, transforming into a faint current of air that soared into the sky.

Haiyuan City.

The five left the area of ​​the Wind Pillar and looked around.

"What a convenient ability. Could it be the power of the Herrscher of Wind?" Rita asked tentatively.

"Of course not, this is my power."

"Yeah."

Bai Yan glanced at the marks on the ground and casually said, "Let's go, they should have arrived by now."

Rita followed the direction his gaze had just been and glanced at the ground, a thoughtful expression on her face.

The group ventured deep into Haiyuan City and soon encountered Susana.

She first greeted the three S-class members excitedly, then looked at the other two with a puzzled expression.

Bai Yan ignored her; Anna didn't know how to introduce herself and remained silent for a moment.

Rita broke the awkward silence: "Where are the others?"

"Oh, they're all inside; Kiana is still sleeping because we'll be moving on to the next part of the plan soon."

“Okay,” she nodded to Susana, then said to the others, “Let’s go in.”

The group then ventured deeper into the area.

At this time, a familiar voice came.

"Huh? It's you? What are you doing here?"

The Law Master descended from the sky, looking at Bai Yan with a face full of confusion.

Volume 1: Chapter 248: What hidden power? It doesn't exist!

The Lawbringer of Knowledge appeared, looking at Bai Yan with surprise.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, never expecting that the Herald of Knowledge would know this person.

"He's the person I was talking about, the one I met in that bubble world with Dr. Mei. I even saw another Kiana!"

Bai Yan wasn't too surprised; this situation was within his expectations.

However, this world still differs slightly from his memories of his previous life.

First of all, Rita shouldn't be here at all.

"Simply put, I need to see Kevin to ask him some questions," Bai Yan said.

"Do you even know that we're currently at war with that guy? Trying to do something like this right off the bat? You're being incredibly reckless!" The Herrscher of Knowledge was shocked upon hearing this.

Perhaps because Shi Lü's voice was too loud, Raiden Mei also came out and was surprised to see Bai Yan.

Compared to others, Raiden Mei is not only calm, but also quick-witted.

"So it was you—but that's not surprising. Based on your conversation with Dr. Mei, the same beginning usually leads to the same end."

Upon hearing this, a question slowly arose in the minds of the others.

Raiden Mei looked at Shirohiko: "But what about Kiana, who was with you before?"

"The specific situation is rather complicated. To put it simply, Dr. Mei believes that I possess something strange, and if I act with Kiana, it will trigger some abnormal changes."

"Therefore, she suggested that we split up and act at different times, which might allow us to return to normal. But it seems that, at least on my side, it has failed."

Bai Yan shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

Raiden Mei pondered for a moment, then said, "But why do I always feel that you haven't missed your goal? Instead of rushing to find other ways to return, you're looking for Kevin..."

She observed him and sensed a faint indifference on the boy's face.

"Because now, he is the one closest to the end, and there are some questions that only he knows the answers to."

Raiden Mei nodded and asked, "One last question: Dr. Mei from that world doesn't know you, but you two have some kind of special understanding. Can you tell me why?"

"..."

She's put it this way, and no one can stay confused any longer.

Being able to play the Riddler game with Dr. May and Kevin at the same time; getting this guy to talk is probably an issue that must be considered.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Anna moved closer to Bai Yan uneasily, her eyes growing increasingly conflicted. She whispered, "Bai Yan?"

At that moment, Raiden Mei noticed Anna and quickly remembered who she was.

"Anna Schariac? I see, a bubble world or a parallel world..."

Bai Yan remained calm and slowly said, "Our world is very different from yours, but I believe many secrets are common. So, going with you to see Kevin and obtaining information from him should be a win-win situation."

“That makes sense,” Raiden Mei nodded. “Since the Herrscher of Ice can appear by your side and seems to trust you enough, I think you are not a villain; therefore, we can act together for the time being.”

Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Having reached a temporary agreement, Bai Yan and Anna entered each other's temporary camp together.

It wasn't until Kiana woke up from her nap that the group began their plan to reclaim St. Freya.

Kiana was surprised by Bai Yan's arrival for a moment, but had no other opinions except that she remembered being beaten up before.

Next, the group arrived at St. Freya, which had been stripped back into reality, and walked towards the long white stone bridge.

There is an unusual empty tomb above.

Then comes the battle where Kiana and Durandal enter and rescue Siegfried.

but.

When Siegfried saw Bai Yan, he suddenly became excited.

"It's you! I've seen you in the Sacred Mark Space!"

"what?!"

"how so?!"

Bai Yan looked at Siegfried in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How come you've seen me before?"

Siegfried seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, so he quickly composed himself and said calmly, "I don't know why, but I have vaguely seen it before—but you were always still."

A static state?

The group looked at each other, utterly bewildered.

Raiden Mei spoke again: "You don't seem surprised?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "It's just that I've seen too many strange things and become numb to them."

Bai Yan then asked Siegfried, "What kind of expression did I have when you saw me?"

"He looks very serious; he's probably fighting someone."

Are you sure that's me you're seeing?

"That's right, exactly like you."

Kiana thought for a moment and said, "Bai Yan, have you fought anyone recently?"

"With your sister."

"..."

"She has the Kaslana Stigmata on her body, perhaps it was a projection from that time that happened to enter the space where Siegfried was."

“No, the you I saw was slightly different from the you I see now,” Siegfried said with a look of reminiscence. “The you I saw then looked quite ordinary, unlike the you I see now, who clearly possesses considerable power and is not someone to be trifled with.”

After some recollection, Yulandel and the other two realized that Bai Yan at the time did not seem ordinary at all.

“Indeed,” the Herald of Knowledge suddenly spoke up, “From the moment he appeared here until now, I have not been able to grasp even a fraction of his thoughts, and I have a feeling that if I do anything reckless, I might be retaliated against by him, which is terrifying.”

Bai Yan felt like he was being besieged.

However, the clues Siegfried provided were quite valuable...

"It seems you have some guesses?" Raiden Mei asked.

"Even if Siegfried saw a scene from my world, the timeline wouldn't match up, because he couldn't have seen me fighting while he was trapped."

"why?"

"Because at that time I was a civil official, and there was no need for that kind of combat."

"So, what he saw wasn't you, or... not you at that particular time?"

"perhaps."

"Then it can only be you in the future."

"You mean I've returned to simplicity, appearing ordinary but actually stronger than I am now?"

"Is there any other explanation?"

Bai Yan smiled and did not refute.

At this moment, Durandal spoke up: "If that's the case, then his power is a bit exaggerated."

"Why do you say that?" Raiden Mei asked curiously.

Everyone was also shocked.

Even Durandal thought it was exaggerated, so what exactly is his strength?!

"When I fought him before, I felt that he didn't use most of his power at all, and he was just fighting with superficial abilities."

Bai Yan's lips twitched.

Finally, he forced himself to say helplessly, "Your feeling is correct, but I can say with certainty that in the state Siegfried described, I simply cannot unleash my full power, at least not the hidden part."

Volume 1: Chapter 249: Beware of Bai Yan Playing the Familiarity Card

"Then, can you demonstrate?" Raiden Mei asked.

Demonstration? How am I supposed to demonstrate?

Let's revisit this scene and see how I honed my basic skills in quick costume changes during my time in the intelligence department.

Bai Yan coldly replied, "No."

"Why are you so resistant? Does it involve some secret you can't tell anyone?"

Bai Yan sneered, "If I were to do that, none of you here would be able to leave unscathed."

"A rather confident statement—what do you all think?" Raiden Mei showed no fear, crossing her arms and looking at the others.

Durandal has already believed it and is even weighing the pros and cons.

Is it really necessary to force him to show his full power?
