Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2277

If that was true, the situation in the alternate was far worse than they had imagined.

As that thought took root, the array, which had previously reconnected Shannon with Fennec, suddenly glowed with mystic light.

Without hesitation, she rose to her feet and stepped into the array. The next second, Thalia's figure appeared beyond the array's barrier.

Her gaze was laced with surprise when she saw Shannon, but instead of catching up, she hastily informed, "The alternate world is in trouble, Shannon. We don't have time for details.

"All you gotta know is we've located Mike and the others. We're opening the portal now, so handle the reception."

Shannon heard the voice and, without hesitation, activated the array while using her domain to manipulate the red strings tied to Thalia, Fennec, and the others.

In no time, four arrays lit up with mystic light. Beyond the light, it seemed as though there was another space. The figures of Thalia and the others appeared outside the array's barrier.

Knowing that the Alternate Divine Power might have merged with Vlad, none of them dared to linger.

Following Mike's instructions, they quickly gathered the materials needed to reverse the array. Fennec and Thalia worked together to start the array.

As the array lit up, all they had to do was step into the barrier to return to their original world. However, Velquin, cradled in Elliot's arms, suddenly broke free from his grasp and leapt outside the array.

At the same time, the red string once tied around the porcelain doll's waist was singed off.

Everyone was caught off guard, but only Shannon, on the other side of the barrier, seemed to sense something—a vague, inexplicably premonition that suddenly became clear.

Then, Velquin said, "I'm glad to reunite with you, even briefly, and be freed from Vlad's restraints, but I'm not leaving. Don't worry—I'll handle Vlad in the alternate world.

"I won't let him conspire with the Alternate Divine Power again…"

Though inhabiting the porcelain doll's body, Velquin's soul had merged, granting the doll's form agility and responsiveness.

When Thalia instinctively reached out, she couldn't grasp it in time. Standing at the rear, Mike disregarded entering the array and lunged toward Velquin.
