Chapter 78: “Father’s Kindness, Daughter’s Filial Piety” (1)
In the past, I have longed for it so deeply!
At this moment, I feel such intense hatred!
While wearing the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, Maryse cannot utilize her psychic powers, compelling her to hide in the shadows before unleashing them to avoid detection.
After using her mental powers, Maryse immediately dons the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, rendering herself in a state of “nullification.”
Under Bai Yan’s control, she first obtained the previously acquired prop, the Enchanted Pistol, and fired a bullet.
But this was merely a feint!
Subsequently, Maryse promptly took control of an internal guard to launch an attack against her father!
However, the power disparity between both sides was significant, coupled with the great “distance” that greatly weakened the soul’s power, resulting in her mental control being maintainable for only brief moments.
Nevertheless, this moment was already sufficient!
Both Bai Yan and Maryse had anticipated that their target would be in an extremely tense state after the dual hints of the conflagration and the extinguishing of lights.
They would take action against their suddenly hostile companions!
As expected, the guard who could release thunder could not resist his impulse. His attack erupted instantly, causing his companion, who could transform his body into various weapons, to fall.
Now, it was two against one.
Maryse longed to beam with a radiant smile.
No, it’s not two against one—it’s a two-on-two game! And we shall definitely be the victors!
Maryse firmly believed that the Savior was supporting her from the depths of her soul!
The Savior, that enigmatic being of unknown origin, is an immensely powerful and deeply entrenched great entity.
He bestowed upon me an immensely powerful strength!
Maryse feels confident and assured merely contemplating everything within the Babel Tower and the countless processes and missions she has undergone.
Babel Tower and the Augustus family simply do not exist on the same level!
In the midst of darkness, Reno fell into a long silence, then suddenly spoke in a voice full of magnetism, “You have taken this step, abusing your power and harming the family that raised you.”
[No, this family has abandoned me… I’ve known it for a long time.]
Maryse suddenly realized she was using her psychic power… to “speak” to her father.
These “words” were precisely what she wanted to say.
Could it be that the Savior has completely grasped my innermost thoughts? The mere idea sent Maryse into a panic, feeling a sense of dread without knowing how to escape it.
At that moment, she was stunned, realizing how her fear of having her innermost thoughts read by the Savior had made her want to hide her true feelings… wasn’t she just like those who feared her?
Ah, I am merely an ordinary person.
Who would wish for their true feelings to be constantly exposed before others?
Maryse fell into contemplation.
“Indeed, you have awakened the power of Psychic Domination.”
Reno looked at the remaining guards expressionlessly and calmly said, “Take her out… having more people doesn’t necessarily mean having an advantage. Guard the entrance.”
“Understood.”
The guards fully obeyed their lord’s command without hesitation, bowed, held their electrocuted companion closely, and cautiously stepped backward out of the room.
Reno remained composed and had already activated the spell used for issuing an alert. Within minutes, numerous guards would arrive, leaving no possibility for the girl to escape.
“All that I have done has been for the Augustus family, but alas, you cannot comprehend the concept of familial interest.”
“Well, after all, you still have more than ten years before reaching adulthood, and your mental maturity is not yet fully developed.”
Reno shook his head and said, “I can understand you.”
“However, I cannot forgive.”
[I knew you would think this way. In your eyes, I am merely a sacrificial pawn, completely insignificant to the entire family.]
[If sacrificing all the children is necessary for the family’s prosperity, would you do the same?]
Although Maryse could not control herself, these words expressed her heart’s true thoughts!
Is everything for the family’s sake?
Does the individual have no meaning?
Is it your place to judge all of this?
What she aimed to shatter was this terrifying arrogance!
Foolish.
“Invisible voice, formless sound, unavoidable, and hopeless.”
Reno didn’t answer, but instead suddenly raised both hands upward, palms facing the ceiling.
He opened his mouth.
The intangible sound waves shook everything around them, causing all objects in the banquet hall to lift up and shatter!
This is magic—it’s the power of sound! Specifically, vibration!
The force of this impact was contained within the banquet hall, which explained Reno’s solitary confinement. His power was difficult to control and could easily harm his own people.
Maryse had donned once again the Invisible Cloak of Hermes and was steadily striding toward Reno.
In this state, she was unable to influence anything in the material world, yet remained unaffected by any phenomena of tangible reality.
Even the power of an earthquake trembled so.
In the battle prowess of super beings, is strength the most important factor?
No, intelligence is the most crucial element among extraordinary individuals.
With the blessing of the Civilization-level Relic, Maryse effortlessly approached her father, who remained oblivious to the imminent danger.
