'Shit.'

Corey's expression drastically changed the moment he saw the Queen of the Silver Elves and Ecles in her arms.

When he enveloped Ecles with his Void Force, he had sent Ecles to a building he had constructed on New Earth.

This building was where Kiefer, Selene, and Willow would have appeared in, if they ever crushed the void crystals he gave to them.

He believed that with the barrier around the world fragment of the elves, and because of the Chains of Sovereignty, no Tier 7 Silver Elf would be able to extend their senses to New Earth.

And he was right.

He had felt Syrelle, Orynthia, and Thalos sweep their immortal senses across their city, beyond it, and even above it.

But they found no traces of their youngest sister. And this was baffling and shocking to them since Corey was just a Tier 3.

Corey has been confident that despite the fact that they were Immortals, they would never be able to locate Ecles.

But what he did not take into account was the appearance of the Queen.

From the moment he appeared in the underground city, he had not sensed the Queen at all, but his instincts had told him that the royal palace was extremely dangerous for him.

'The Queen's aura is... flickering. Like a flame that's about to go out. Probably because of the destruction of their world. Maybe she had to take some extreme measures to protect the Silver Elves that are here. Most especially, her children?'

Corey narrowed his eyes slightly.

'And her aura... She seems to be at the peak of Tier 7? Maybe a Half-Step Tier 8?'

A wry smile appeared on Corey's lips as he noticed the aura of the Queen. Because of how unstable her aura was, he couldn't sense her precise Tier, but he knew that she was a lot stronger than her three children combined.

'Yeah. This world fragment is truly insane. If there's a Half-Step Tier 8 over here, how am I going to get the Book of Death. This is definitely one of the worst case scenarios I envisioned when the Universal System recommended the least Tier to be Tier 6.'

'Sigh... I'll have to think of something.'

As Corey was having all these thoughts, he saw Pamela looking at him with a look that clearly said, "I thought she would not be found?"

Corey's lips curled up slightly, and then he shifted his attention back to the Queen who was looking at him with intrigue.

"Who- No... What are you? You're clearly not a human."

Corey raised a brow, and then he looked at his hands and shoulders.

"Why do you say I'm not a human? I obviously look like one, don't I?" He glanced at Pamela before looking back at the Queen. "It's not like I have a tail. I don't have horns and neither is my body made out of metal like you guys... Right?"

The Queen smiled, and then she looked at Ecles who was in her arms with a bright smile. The little princess was extremely happy seeing her mother, and nothing else mattered to her.

"The girl beside you is a human. She has the aura of one. Although... it's an aura that's extremely powerful and an aura I've never sensed before."

The Queen shifted her gaze from Pamela, to Corey.

"But you... your aura has to be the strangest, most mysterious, and most powerful aura I've sensed in a Tier 3."

"Because we were not able to explore outside our planet, I don't know much. But I'm very certain that you're an anomaly. If I'm not wrong... you have the ability to fight my children when they were still... Tier 6s."

The expressions of Syrelle, Orynthia, and Thalos changed drastically when they heard their mother's voice, and they cried out in disbelief.

"Impossible, mother!"

"How can something like that ever happen?!"

"Do you have so little faith in us, mother?!"

Thalos, Orynthia, and Syrelle all said respectively while looking at their mother in shock.

The Queen looked at them with a light but pained smile. "How can I have so little faith in my children, Syrelle."

Syrelle looked down with an ashamed expression. "I'm sorry I said such words, mother."

The Queen shook her head. "I completely understand why you would say such words since even I, myself, find it unbelievable. But it's the truth."

"That man over there is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's emitting the aura of a Tier 3, but his fangs are sharp enough to sink into the claws of a Tier 6... Maybe even a Tier 7."

She then gestured at Pamela.

"The girl is also the same. But he's more dangerous."

The expressions of the three siblings changed, and Syrelle, Orynthia, and Thalos all looked at Corey and Pamela, especially Corey, with a complicated light in their eyes.

'Is that why his illusion abilities were able to affect me? Cause he's special and unique?"

Syrelle thought with a deep frown, and then she looked at Pamela also.

'And according to Mother, she's also special... But I don't sense anything that's so special from them.'

'Or is their aura concealment ability that effective?'

Just as she had these thoughts, Ecles suddenly spoke.

"Mother is right. That bad man killed two Tier 6 Freedom Fighters very easily. One did not even know when he died, and the other had his neck helplessly caught in his hand."

"He also killed four Tier 4s with just a wave of his hand."

This time around, the pupils of Syrelle, Orynthia, and Thalos constricted into pinholes.

They wanted to shout out that such feats were not possible and that Ecles was just exaggerating what she had seen, but they chose not to because their mother had just told them that Corey was an anomaly that was baffling even to her.

Corey did not bother to say anything at the words of Ecles. Instead, he looked at the Queen with a light smile.

"Your perception is truly something else, Queen-?"

The Queen smiled. "Queen Nerith Veyr."
