The sword energy surged, catching the interest even of Sagittarius as a zodiac sign.
"A person with great potential... a qualified one," the inner voice of Sagittarius evaluated.
This was the seventieth floor, entirely different from the qualified ones Wen Xishu encountered on the first fifty floors. Recruiting a core qualified person here would certainly have some impact on the Three Towers War.
This was what Aquarius wanted to say, as she asked Sagittarius if he knew what it meant. The answer was simple: the core qualified above the seventieth floor of the Desire Tower, the creators of the main obsessions, all possess extraordinary talents.
These individuals are, of course, not on par with the zodiac signs, but who can predict where they might end up in the future?
Some of them have even been chosen by very advanced sequences.
Or by unique forces beyond the sequences.
To date, no Bunker People have managed to recruit them. Not one. Be it Wenren Mirror or Evelyn...
While they are incredibly charismatic and outstanding, they didn’t achieve what Wen Xishu accomplished today.
Aquarius, seeing Liu Jianxin’s current form, realized she had missed a great warrior.
"I increasingly detest you!"
She wanted to open the bottle and prepare to fight against Sagittarius. But the next moment, the power emanating from Sagittarius’s arrow of annihilation astonished her.
The arrow of annihilation was Sagittarius’s method to deal with Leon.
Sagittarius looked at Aquarius:
"Aquarius, I won’t kill you, but I definitely won’t let you walk away unscathed."
Sword energy.
Damn...
Aquarius glanced at Wen Xishu, then at Sagittarius Archer.
She was puzzled. Why... does this arrow possess sword energy?
Indeed, a power that initially wasn’t there now seemed to be sensed by Sagittarius. That kind of power, born from a righteous heart that loathes evil, surprisingly appeared on Sagittarius’s arrow.
Did he have another breakthrough in such a short time?
Aquarius always underestimated Sagittarius, believing that as long as she wasn’t locked on, she could toy with him at will.
But now, she didn’t dare to move.
She didn’t dare to gamble on whether, after opening the treasure bottle, she could withstand Sagittarius’s strike containing multiple powers.
In Aquarius’s eyes, Sagittarius’s talents were magnified infinitely.
She couldn’t understand how Sagittarius managed to do it.
In fact, Sagittarius himself was amazed... every time Wen Xishu summoned him, fate granted him an epiphany.
At least with Wen Xishu nearby, he was practically a combat genius.
Taking advantage of Aquarius’s distraction, Sagittarius released an arrow.
It wasn’t an arrow of annihilation, nor did it carry any intent to kill.
Aquarius wanted to dodge, wanted to use the bottle to absorb the arrow... but everything happened so quickly, there was simply no time.
She was hit.
"Damn it! What did you do to me?"
She glared venomously at Sagittarius.
Sagittarius said:
"This is a mark. Planting such a mark on you is very difficult, but once implanted, I can target you across any distance."
"Sister, if you plan to reveal any secrets, consider first whether your bottle can withstand my full-force arrow."
Sagittarius’s mark.
It looked somewhat similar to the Lion Heart Brand, like a tattoo.
Yet it was not a gift, but a "coordinate."
It’s very challenging for Sagittarius to plant the mark on a zodiac sign. But today’s events happened so suddenly, for Aquarius, it was a "divine unfolding."
First, the summoning of zodiac signs by humans threw her mind into a frenzy.
And it happened to be Sagittarius; at a close range, his attacks were even harder to avoid.
Secondly, she panicked in the face of Sagittarius’s epiphany.
For various reasons, Aquarius reached the worst outcome this time.
"Alright, sister, you can leave now."
"Now, both of us have means to kill each other. Let’s hope we both cherish our lives and choose silence."
Aquarius left humiliated. Only after her figure completely vanished did Sagittarius breathe a sigh of relief.
He was also tense all over, afraid of pushing Aquarius to the brink.
After all...
Although he indeed realized many powers, these powers were merely in a state of comprehension and hadn’t developed to threaten a zodiac sign.
Aquarius just didn’t understand. If it were Lion, Taurus, Aries, Cancer...
They would surely see through it.
Sagittarius said:
"I should withdraw now. Without Aquarius’s threat, theoretically, you should have achieved a perfect ending, but there’s still a bit to wrap up in this world."
Wen Xishu asked a question:
"Logically, this is the Desire Tower, and the Aquarius I encountered should be Aquarius from before the apocalypse, so why does she seem to know about the meeting? She gives me the impression that her memories and awareness are from the time of the Three Towers War."
Sagittarius said:
"The Desire Tower, from the seventieth floor onward, has actually led you into the Three Towers War."
"The Desire Tower can rewrite history. Historically, Aquarius indeed appeared here and it was here that she corrupted Liu Jianxin, which is why Liu Jianxin turned into the despicable being you saw in the Obsession World, perpetually betraying friends."
Wen Xishu nodded.
This is indeed true. Even though life tormented him into darkness, Liu Jianxin wouldn’t have fallen that far.
This was all because of Aquarius.
"And now, you’ve changed all that; you’ve stopped Aquarius. You thwarted Aquarius from before the Three Towers War started and from before the apocalypse, but also Aquarius after the Three Towers War began."
