Alexander said: "I will soon be venturing into the Mist Instance, where the Ghost Beads will temporarily lose their power. So, Su Rong and Annie will be staying behind to activate their own exclusive instances. They'll be absorbing Ghost Food inside, leveraging the time-bending rules of these realms. By the time they exit, they'll have ascended to the rank of Ghost Dukes at the very least."

If their enemies were to launch an assault with more than three Ghost Kings simultaneously, their newfound power would be woefully inadequate for any meaningful resistance.
"Not just them, you guys are part of this plan too," Alexander declared, waving his hand. A dozen or so Ghost Food materialized before him, each one swathed in an aura of unimaginable power.
