Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2656: 1461: Twist of Fate (Part 2)

The ears' possessor apparently caught Leo Ray's stare, shyly poking her head out to display a dirt-streaked yet beautiful visage.

A quite refined countenance brimmed with terror and alarm, like a wary hare, shaking without stop.

“Lord, that's her!”

Little Jie's star-filled eyes sparkled, as she couldn't help exclaiming.

“Looks like it really is.”

Leo Ray eyed the strange young stone spirit in front of him, then promptly moved closer alongside Little Jie.

As Leo Ray drew near, the mysterious stone spirit paused briefly but mustered bravery to advance. She donned a muted gold-and-white garment.

“Fellow kin, and the esteemed Human Clan's lord, have you come to battle the Witch Demon?”

A hesitant yet crisp voice rang out, with the newcomer initiating the exchange this time.

“Indeed, just as you observe, I've arrived straight from the fighting zone to this spot.”

Leo Ray regarded the stone spirit maiden ahead, pressing eagerly, “Can you aid our getaway?”

Noting Leo Ray's desperate look, the strange stone spirit recoiled slightly and replied, “Yet how do I know you're trustworthy?”

“Kin, allow me to vouch.”

Little Jie shifted to her human shape, stepped ahead, and declared gravely, “As you know, stone spirits never deceive. My master represents supreme honor and dignity; you can fully rely on my master.”

“It appears so, plus the Human Clan's lord bears the essence of numerous kin. Endorsed by so many kin, he can't be wicked.”

The mysterious stone spirit glanced at Leo Ray's torso, clearly easing up, and bobbed her head firmly, “I sense the peril's immediacy—come with me!”

With those words, the mysterious stone spirit spun around and dashed into a different hallway within the chamber, Leo Ray and Little Jie trailing right behind as they sprang into motion.

Led by the strange stone spirit, they navigated the maze-resembling Underground City with many bends until reaching a room packed with various magic operation consoles.

This spot resembled a headquarters zone, though every magic operation console lay shattered in fragments long ago, looking chaotic and blanketed in heavy dust.

“Lord, traces of the Witch Demon's death aura linger faintly here too; it looks like they've seized the whole Underground City.”

Little Jie creased her graceful eyebrows while informing Leo Ray, “Plus, they've wrecked all of this, likely to set up their command hub in another location.”

“Those detestable foes truly demolished nearly all the arrays in this place.”

The strange stone spirit inspected briefly before affirming to Leo Ray and Little Jie, “Still, even though we ended up captured by them, it doesn't signify they've mastered it all!”

As the strange stone spirit's statement concluded, soft power ripples arose, a golden magical circle gradually surfaced, illuminating the previously gloomy room with vivid light.

“Could this be some sort of array trigger?”

Little Jie froze at first, then comprehended, “Never thought it'd be concealed so well—practically impossible to spot!”

“Correct, we set this up as the last defense in our clash with the Witch Demon years ago.”

A profound gravity settled on the pale features of the strange stone spirit, as she intoned seriously, “Back then, to keep this ultimate measure from enemy detection, we ourselves razed the sole Miracle Building in our capital and repurposed its components to build this, since those elements thwart all Tier 6 scanning techniques.”

“Moreover, the magical trigger and the full array of this ultimate measure lie concealed inside these components; only I, the one who cast it, grasp how to trigger it.”

Uttering this, the strange stone spirit drew in a sharp breath and inclined her head resolutely toward Leo Ray, “Human Clan's sovereign, I'll now properly engage the array—it's the ultimate counter to the Witch Demon and your sole path to freedom!”

“Got it; hurry and engage it, please.”

At these words, though questions flooded Leo Ray's mind, he agreed promptly without pause.

Right now, we're teetering on disaster's brink, liable to plunge into doom anytime. Thus, regardless of this ultimate measure's nature, it seems we lack alternatives.

Once Leo Ray finished, the strange stone spirit concentrated intently, drew an ideal loop with her slim digits at the array's core—like a lock's slot—and commenced channeling power into it. Yet right as infusion began, she faltered and toppled to the floor, her pallid complexion draining to utter white.

“Lord, her strength's insufficient to trigger the array.”

Little Jie knelt to steady her, sighing ruefully toward Leo Ray.

“Forgive me, Human Clan's lord, though I can transfer the triggering method to her.”

The mysterious stone spirit clutched Little Jie's limb firmly, causing the latter's starry gaze to haze over, clearly absorbing data from her via stone spirits' exclusive link.

Though every Stone of God varies, holding unique abilities, igniting an array remains feasible.

“Oh, I see—your ultimate measure turns out this way; it's completely beyond expectation…”

Little Jie blanked momentarily, then her starry eyes reignited swiftly, as she nodded vigorously at Leo Ray, “Lord, your servant will handle it from here!”

Thereupon, Little Jie mimicked the strange stone spirit's prior motions, resuming the power channeling.

On this occasion, with Little Jie's power flowing in, the already radiant array intensified in splendor and sanctity, swiftly glowing so intensely that Leo Ray struggled to gaze upon it.

Moments later, once the gleaming sacred glow dimmed, Little Jie pressed hand to heart in respect, announcing to Leo Ray, “Lord, the array's now active—we've shifted the tide of triumph!”

“Wonderful; after all these years, vengeance is within reach at last.”

Hearing that, the mysterious stone spirit wept profusely in her feeble state, her delicate frame quivering nonstop.

“Excellent.”

Leo Ray gestured for Little Jie to soothe her as he exhaled deeply.

Then, Leo Ray observed the divine golden array ahead, doubt from before resurfacing on his expression.

Beyond the array's glow, nothing else altered in the area—no clamor or sense of vast power waves; precisely what constituted this triggered ultimate measure?

Unaware in advance, even with Little Jie's activation, Leo Ray perceived no tangible shift in circumstances.

Besides, if she possessed such battle-turning power, why hold it back during that era?

“Lord, from our prior link, I've grasped some background details and the ultimate measure's details.”

Little Jie evidently spotted Leo Ray's bewilderment, steadying the mending strange stone spirit as she explained.

“No time to waste—head back to the fray as we discuss.”

Per Leo Ray's wish, Little Jie reverted to Stone of God form and curled into his embrace; witnessing this, the strange stone spirit likewise obligingly resumed her true shape, merging into Leo Ray's possessions.

Following that, Leo Ray surged back vigorously via their prior path.

“Little Jie, so this served as the alliance forces' ultimate measure from before?”

En route, upon learning the facts, Leo Ray, shocked yet resolute, declared, “It truly enables us to turn the fight, dooming those Witch Demons to utter ruin!”
