Skye furrowed her brows, seemingly deep in thought.

Truth be told, from the moment Scorpia had summoned her and ordered her to kill some kid who was probably just at Royal Realm, she had already been confused.

Since when did killing someone at Royal Realm require a Domain Realm expert to step in? If that were the case, wouldn't Domain Realm experts be worked to death?

On top of that, Skue wasn't just any Domain Realm expert. She was among the best of the best. Sending her felt like a serious overkill.

She'd asked about it before, but Scorpia had simply snapped at her to carry out the mission without asking questions.

Hearing Felix bring it up again, Skye couldn't help but feel a rising tide of unanswered questions regarding the Etherstorm.

"At this point," Felix said, "I might as well tell you. The reason the Ruin Order wants to kill me isn't because I'm an elder of Star Alliance. The real reason is that I triggered the Etherstorm."

What? Skye's eyes widened in absolute shock.
