Chapter - 2973

Ares, Alfred, and Tyler were overwhelmed with confusion.

They were clueless about how Lacey's strength had suddenly soared dramatically. Not even when Tiger King combined forces with the other three could they outmatch her.

On top of that, the three of them were equally baffled by the fact that Lacey had not leveraged the moment to wipe their opponents off the face of the earth when she had the upper hand.

Not only that, but Zeke was also not by her side. What on earth had happened?

Ares was the first to question, "Care to explain to us how you acquired such power all of a sudden, Lacey?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lacey piped up, "I'm not sure where to begin. Does Eternal Class ring any bell to you guys?"

The three of them exchanged gazes, perplexity written all over their faces. In the end, they all shook their heads in unison.

"No. What's Eternal Class? Is it even stronger than Celestial Class?"

Left with no choice, Lacey patiently explained to them, "Comparing Eternal Class with Celestial Class is akin to measuring the similarity between an earthworm to a true, divine dragon. Every being of Eternal Class could dominate the world."

Hiss!

Ares and the group drew in a sharp breath. "We had guessed that there were stronger beings above the Celestial Class, but we never imagined they could be this powerful."

Little did they envision Celestial Class to be nothing more than a tiny earthworm in the lady's eyes.

"I heard from Aged Ginseng that Sun and Moon Class is above Celestial Class. Just like Mr. Hayes and that primordial beast, they all belong to Sun and Moon Class. Superior to it is Nebula Class. Zeke suspects that the Aged Ginseng we bumped into is in Nebula Class. A rank higher than that is Eternal Class. Terrachus, who lives beneath our feet, is one warrior of Eternal Class. And then we have Vassilios, who's mightier than any Eternal Class warrior. He's currently the strongest known existence, and they all claimed that I'm his descendant.”

Lacey's speech only served to sweep up raging waves of emotions deep within the trio's hearts.

It turned out there were still a plethora of formidable individuals of such caliber in the world.

Their so-called Celestial Class was nothing.

Knowing how insignificant they themselves were gave rise to a sense of inferiority in them.

They used to believe that they were the strongest among the humans, second only to Zeke.

It took Ares quite a while to finally regain his composure.

"Lacey, does what you're telling us have any connection with your sudden increase in strength?"

"Of course, it does. In fact, I'm one of the Eternal Class warriors from ancient times. During the ancient war, I sealed my past form within a Restrictive Spell Formation. Just now, I accidentally stepped inside that formation, where my past form merged with my current form. That's how my power has skyrocketed."

“What the heck?" Ares was totally astonished. Even his eyes nearly popped out of the sockets.

At present, Lacey's strength was equivalent to that of Eternal Class, surpassing each one of them by a mile.

To call the destiny she had been blessed with a stroke of luck would be an understatement.

Above all, they found it hard to believe that Lacey was a warrior from ancient times.

Is Lacey... for real? She wouldn't be pulling our leg, would she?

It took Ares a considerable amount of time to fully process the message from Lacey.

Immediately afterward, he put forward more inquiries. "If you're already so powerful, Lacey, you could've just lifted a finger and crushed Theos and the gang. Why didn't you keep the momentum going?”

A sigh escaped Lacey. "My skills can only be utilized for self-defense. I can't attack proactively. My speed of launching an attack is at a pace no faster than the average running speed of a Joe Schmo. And even if I catch up, what's the point? I can't initiate an attack, after all."

From the others' perspective, there was not anything more vexing to hear than her confession.

Despite being incredibly strong and almost invincible, she could only defend herself and was unable to launch an attack.

In that case, not an ounce of her ability could prove any useful to them.

They did not know how to react at that moment.

It was then that Ares continued to probe, "Say, Lacey, why aren't you with Zeke? How could he bear to leave you alone like this?"
