With a loud CRASH—the Starbug, its Spiritual Sea shattered, instantly lost all aggression. The moment Cillian Forrest removed the barrier, its enormous body slammed into the ground.
Sophie Wexler looked at the Starbug on the ground and finally sighed in relief. With the danger gone, she could barely stay on her feet. Her voice was weak as she said, "Thank goodness... We're safe."
Hearing this, Cillian Forrest turned to the woman still clutching his hand, his expression complicated. He asked, "Are you... all right?"
"I'm fine, I just... feel a little tired." As she spoke, Sophie Wexler felt an abnormal exhaustion, as if she had been completely drained. Her mind felt like it was no longer under her control.
At the same time, a voice echoed from the end of the alley, followed by the sound of countless footsteps. "The Starbug and they are over there!"
The military had finally arrived in response to the distress call Sophie Wexler had sent.
