### Chapter 110 Curtain Call
Night Star also noticed this strange phenomenon.
She saw the Group Leader returning at an extremely fast speed, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura and immense pressure.
In a blink of an eye…
The Group Leader’s figure appeared at the tower and charged unhesitantly towards the Uncrowned Wanderer.
“Let me go first.”
The Uncrowned Wanderer calmly used his ability to teleport far away.
However, feathers continued to fall from the sky, each imbued with ominous power. Touching them could lead to dire consequences.
The Uncrowned Wanderer naturally sensed this, so he teleported all the feathers away, cleaning up the surrounding area instantly.
Back in the old days, he wouldn’t worry about these feathers touching him. Even if they did, nothing much would happen.
But after the Wish Princess took one-third of his power, he felt quite weak.
This particular Star Eclipses with the Black Feather looked like merely a super-class, but his explosive power was far beyond that.
These feathers, filled with Star Eclipses pollution, could even influence class standards, making even sub-supernovae struggle to resist.
Such an odd fellow.
Better avoid contact altogether.
Though the Uncrowned Wanderer could escape through teleportation, neither Hilo nor Oya had that ability.
With their current strength, they seemed no match for that guy.
His aura alone was comparable to a supernova’s.
Hope the Star Eclipses is okay.
Back on top of the tower.
The Group Leader descended and coldly looked at Hilo and Oya in the distance.
Hilo seemed to have found a way to isolate himself from the feathers.
Oya, meanwhile, interfered with the probability of the feathers landing on her.
Neither of the first-generation Star Eclipses avatars made any other movements.
The Group Leader glanced at Night Star, noting she wasn’t in much trouble, although her aura had drastically changed compared to before.
That familiar energy indicated that the Audience Performer had become one of them.
And there were only a few ways to transform someone into a Star Eclipses.
The Group Leader knew this too well.
Whichever method was used, it couldn’t be forgiven.
This suggests that these Star Eclipses had victimized the Audience Performer.
“Having traveled such a long way, you dare commit such rudeness—aren’t you ashamed?”
The Group Leader slightly leaned forward, instantly appearing before Hilo, grabbing his face and lifting him off the ground, slamming him against the wall and leaving terrifying cracks.
Thud! Thud!
Countless black feathers were attached to Hilo’s body, looking like eerie tattoos that seemed to merge into his body.
Oya was similarly hit by an invisible force and pinned against the wall, with just as many Star Eclipses feathers as Hilo.
No mercy!
“What did you take from my troupe member?”
The Group Leader’s eyes were terrifying and his voice deep and menacing, as if enraged.
“I don’t have them anymore.”
Hilo’s tone remained calm.
He was the earliest to notice something odd about the Group Leader.
After all, during the forced exchange, he couldn’t even obtain the Group Leader’s core power.
That was strange.
Oya’s help included probability manipulation to increase the odds of obtaining it.
Even with Oya’s aid, the chances were slim.
The Group Leader’s so-called super-class power wasn’t normal; he concealed a plethora of hidden strength.
While his standard remained the same, he absorbed and stored a considerable amount of Star Eclipses power, ready to use it anytime.
And with such power, his strength now rivaled an unyielding supernova.
Not far away, Night Star witnessed the scene, feeling the return of the Demon King who once destroyed the Holy Church.
Though stylish, this wasn’t the time to admire.
“Group Leader…”
He turned his head to look at her.
“What is it? Audience Performer?”
“What Hilo took has been returned…”
Words became reality here.
He could turn any wish into truth.
Returning Hilo’s core power to Gentleman and company was just a thought.
Hearing this, the Group Leader let Hilo and Oya go, but his hostility didn’t wane.
The Star Eclipses feathers on them remained intact, still eroding them.
Given how Hilo and company approached suspiciously earlier—
Whether it was teleporting the rest of the troupe or turning the Audience Performer into one of them—it was an act that required explanation.
If they didn’t clear things up, the extreme measure of dealing with these instigators couldn’t be avoided, regardless of their high status.
“Tell us why you did these things.”
Silent Hilo naturally wasn’t suitable for answering these questions; Oya took over.
“It’s actually just asking for help from your Audience Performer.”
“Is this how you usually ask for help?”
“The previous Audience Performer wasn’t at the right level, so we planned to unlock her potential, helping her grow. That’s why these things happened.”
“This is your explanation?”
After knowing the truth, the Group Leader’s gaze turned even colder.
Growth through such methods is no different from bullying.
The Group Leader knew the Audience Performer had been wronged, which couldn’t be tolerated.
Under these circumstances, no justification could excuse their actions.
Then Night Star spoke up.
“Hold it, Group Leader.”
“What is it?”
“Don’t hurt them.”
“You want to forgive them?”
“No, not forgive, but it’s not to that extent yet.”
Night Star put aside her confusion, walked up to the Group Leader, and faced Hilo and Oya directly.
Their goal was to inflict suffering to force her growth, making her stronger on some level.
Yet, their method was terrible, even if it was without other malicious intent.
Night Star took a deep breath.
“I won’t help you, nor will I harm you, but you’ll pay the price.”
Hilo asked in his usual calm manner, “One-third power isn’t enough?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Night Star shook her head.
Understanding dawned on Hilo when he heard this.
“So what do you want us to do?”
“Apologize, then reflect.”
Night Star then turned towards another direction.
“And you, Uncrowned Wanderer.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Uncrowned Wanderer reappeared.
From his expression, it looked like he wasn’t happy to be back.
Without Oya meddling with probabilities, other members previously transported away returned through the Theater Door.
Judging by their faces, they weren’t happy.
Seeing Night Star’s situation, their expressions worsened.
Lotus and others nearly exploded in anger.
If Night Star hadn’t calmed them down, things might’ve gotten out of hand.
Remember, this was Waltonka.
They were in the heart of the city.
A massive outbreak of Star Eclipses pollution would cause great havoc that even Night Star’s power couldn’t contain.
Even though she could stop the disaster from spreading, she didn’t want the situation to spiral out of control.
Under Night Star’s signals, the Uncrowned Wanderer, Hilo, and Oya apologized, easing the tension temporarily.
“We were foolish.”
“Hmph! Get back and reflect. Don’t show your faces to me again!”
Upon hearing this, Hilo, Lotus, and Oya realized Night Star wouldn’t help them.
Instantly, under the Uncrowned Wanderer’s abilities, they vanished, clearly having left.
Night Star watched their disappearance angrily, still a bit annoyed, so she secretly wished, feeling somewhat satisfied.
“You got what you deserved; prepare to regret…”
The situation is now settled.
What now?
Night Star pondered her predicament.
How to solve her situation?
What’s the situation like over in Night Lan’s side?
