Su Yuan quickly analyzed the situation on site.
Although it was heartbreaking, Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet from the House of the Hearth had already been completely wiped out...
He wondered what kind of expression Arlecchino would show if she knew about this...
Su Yuan felt that if this had been before, he definitely would have without hesitation committed suicide to rewind and save them, to change everything...
But now, he no longer had that ability—he could only watch them perish right before his eyes...
Aether had already been taken away by the Wanderer, and no one knew where.
The unconscious Paimon was thrown aside like garbage by the Wanderer.
Nearby, Kazuha also lay unconscious, his condition unknown...
If he chose to leave here quickly with Raiden Ei, relying on their speed, would that mean abandoning those still alive but just unconscious?
But soon, Su Yuan seemed to think of something...
Didn't they still have another teammate on their side—Ioroi?
Ioroi was skilled in the art of the bake-danuki's transformation, disguise, and escape techniques.
If he could take care of Kazuha and Paimon, then maybe Su Yuan really could make a clean getaway with Raiden Ei!
Su Yuan and Raiden Ei exchanged thoughts in their minds and agreed that this plan was feasible!
As long as he held off Dottore for a moment, and let Ioroi take Paimon and Kazuha away, then he could make his escape afterward!
"Ioroi! I'm leaving Paimon and Kazuha to you—hurry and get them out of here!" Su Yuan shouted.
Ioroi nodded in acknowledgment.
He didn't say much—he immediately used his bake-danuki power and appeared beside Paimon and Kazuha.
With one hand, he grabbed Paimon, and with the other, he slung Kazuha over his shoulder.
Then he said to Su Yuan:
"Young one, take care! I'll be leaving with them now!"
But then Ioroi suddenly thought—there was nothing wrong with calling Su Yuan "young one," but the problem now was… Raiden Ei was also inside Su Yuan's body!
"Your Excellency," he quickly corrected himself, "please be careful! I shall take my leave now!"
Surprisingly, Dottore didn't try to stop him.
Ioroi smoothly carried Kazuha and Paimon away from the scene…
"This is our chance—let's go, and figure things out later!" Su Yuan said to Raiden Ei.
Immediately, Raiden Ei took control of Su Yuan's body and transformed into a lightning-fast blur, preparing to escape from the place—
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
At that moment, Dottore's icy voice rang out.
"The reason I let them go is because they're not my targets. If they stayed, they'd only get in the way."
"But Su Yuan—if you think escaping from here will be that easy, you're sorely mistaken."
In the next moment, Su Yuan felt as if his body had been crushed under a strange and heavy force—his muscles began to ache, his limbs grew stiff, and his speed dropped drastically in an instant…
"This is… the suppressive effect of Eerie power? How could Dottore be using this move?" Su Yuan exclaimed in shock.
This move was standard for those who entered an Eerie state according to the rules—it was the most basic and fundamental application of Eerie power…
Essentially brute-force suppression: using Eerie power to completely restrain an opponent's movements.
But even if Dottore could use this move, it was an extremely energy-consuming technique.
Was he not afraid of exhausting all the Eerie power in his body?
How could he afford to be so extravagant?
However, a terrifying thought quickly occurred to Su Yuan…
Every segment of Dottore—though they shared senses and memories—was still a distinct individual...
The Dottore standing in front of him now was completely different from the one Su Yuan had seen back in Fontaine…
This Dottore looked completely confident, as if everything was under his control, using Eerie power without the slightest restraint…
Could it be that the Dottore before him hadn't entered Eerie state through those special methods, but had actually triggered this segment's own Eerie conditions—and thus entered a complete form of Eerie state?
"Dottore, have you already discovered the condition for this segment's Eerie state rule?" Su Yuan looked at Dottore and asked.
Hearing Su Yuan's words, Dottore showed a surprised expression, a smile curling at the corners of his lips.
Cheerfully, he replied:
"Su Yuan, as expected of you… You really are my kindred spirit. You understand me so well…"
"That's right! This segment—this current me—isn't some externally-incomplete Eerie state. I've directly discovered the rule condition and achieved a complete form of Eerie state!"
"To be honest, this feeling is absolutely incredible! The Eerie power flows endlessly, and insane ideas just keep pouring into my mind..."
"Hahahahahaha!!! I'm so high right now I can't even contain it!!!"
"So, Su Yuan, Beelzebul—just give up already!"
"Facing this version of me, there's absolutely no chance for you to win!"
Su Yuan had to admit, Dottore had a point...
The previous Dottore only had access to a limited amount of Eerie power, yet through his meticulous and ingenious usage of it, he was already able to unleash tremendous strength.
Now, with this complete Eerie state and seemingly inexhaustible reserves of Eerie power—just how terrifyingly powerful would he become?
"Alright… I won't waste any more words. My time is precious. Since you two have no intention of cooperating with my experiment—then this experiment ends here."
As Dottore spoke, he slowly walked toward Su Yuan.
With a wave of his hand, eerie power surged from his palm, slowly invading Su Yuan's body inch by inch.
"Beelzebul, get the hell out of Su Yuan's body!!!"
"Su Yuan's body—belongs to me!!!"
Su Yuan: ???
Dottore, what kind of deranged thing are you even saying?
But with the eerie power invading his body, Su Yuan already felt overwhelmed with discomfort—let alone what Raiden Ei must have been going through…
Su Yuan could almost feel Raiden Ei's consciousness trembling violently inside his body, as if on the verge of shattering and vanishing at any moment…
Su Yuan began to realize—could it be that what Dottore said earlier about pushing Raiden Ei's consciousness to its limit… was actually referring to this?
Not long after, Su Yuan felt Raiden Ei completely vanish from within his body, and he regained full control over himself once more…
"Su Yuan, it seems I've succeeded…" Dottore said as he dispersed the eerie power surrounding him and slowly walked toward Su Yuan, stopping right beside him.
"Eerie power—it's fascinating, isn't it? While it's undeniably destructive, when used cleverly, it can accomplish so many things…"
But Su Yuan wasn't paying attention to Dottore's words at all.
He flexed his wrist, feeling something strange…
Raiden Ei had clearly left his body, and yet—why did he still feel so full of power?
In the next moment, Su Yuan instinctively raised his hand in a split second—and lightning elemental energy suddenly erupted from his chest!
He drew a blade formed entirely from Electro energy directly from his chest—then slashed it straight at the completely unsuspecting Dottore before him!
