Vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, her divine Light Wings gently fluttered, exuding a supremely noble aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The androgynous youth was taken

beauty was the last thing on his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wanted to personally crush that damned \"human youth\" to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena’s golden eyes calmly sized up the androgynous youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Fallen One noble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like he’s someone with a significant background.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one glance, and Athena had already made her assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also sensed the unique \"Limit Breaking\" aura emanating from this youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, just like her, he also possessed the \"Limit Breaking\" Talent, able to unleash an Unlimited Value far beyond Tier Two Level Nine in Mars OL.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena had long anticipated this and wasn’t surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head, lightly flapped her wings, and returned to the human camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t come here for a decisive battle, nor to seize Energy Hub #13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena was only searching for Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wait for him to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena relayed this order to the over ten thousand Human Unlimiters in the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that the Fallen One army and its commander were stationed here,

are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being ignored by Athena, the androgynous youth’s face darkened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t go off impulsively, nor act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s strength likely wasn’t inferior to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the androgynous youth, the outcome of this Mars OL event was no longer so important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they lost this Mars OL, he absolutely had to crush that \"human youth\" to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, not just kill him—he’d torture him to death, over and over again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, as \"Your Highness,\" he had never been so humiliated or toyed with by anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Highness had no idea that Yu Jin hadn’t planned any \"lure the tiger away from the mountain or sneak attack the rear\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was purely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hitting whatever he found, blundering into everything by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The androgynous youth’s figure flickered, returning to the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for him to come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their prince’s cold and merciless voice rang out in the ears of over ten

Jin was a bit frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d circled around Energy Hub #10 several times, teleporting in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just couldn’t find the last Energy Hub #13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotta hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t waste too much time in Wasteland OL...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin remembered the High-dimensional Helmet’s intro mentioning \"different time flows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in his view, Venus and Blue Star were both in the Solar System, so time ought to be synchronized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Blue Star and A3 Planet, the information he’d gotten before said the time rate was also identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all-in-all, Venus and A3’s time should match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the introduction specifically mentioned this, there’s probably something special he didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin didn’t care for those \"Vanishing Chessboard\" storylines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely didn’t want to spend just a few days on Mars, only to find several months had passed on A3 when he returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A translucent panel suddenly appeared before Yu Jin’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System
