The darkness, which once threatened to overwhelm him and his sister, now paused as if recognizing a superior force. Shadows distorted, and space quivered, no longer under the control of their Divine Realm pursuer.
The power of Limitless consumed everything—every sliver of light, every breath of air, and even time itself seemed to warp.

"Poh!"
The two landed abruptly, and Yue's eyes widened when he felt something soft and warm brush against his lips. A moment of stillness passed before he realized—it was his sister. Their lips had touched, albeit through the cloth mask covering his face.
She pulled away instantly, her eyes filled with confusion and exhaustion. Yet, there was no time to dwell on the awkwardness.
