Little Yin's body shivered, her small, bead-like, black eyes flashing with a tint of red. Her muscles and fur were stretched taut as steam emitted from her mouth.
Dyon hadn't sent her here to battle. He didn't even know such a thing would occur. His only will was for Little Yin to keep Clara company so she'd remember that there'd be a day when he'd come personally to take her back and wash Planet Sapientia in blood.
With Little Yin's help, it would be impossible for the Sapientia to take away her spatial ring and treasures, and the same time, Dyon would be able to speak to Clara once or if he survived his current predicament. But, it seemed that the pressure Dyon was under was the very same pressure his allies were under as well, and many of them had already evolved under it!
Little Yin went all out. She knew quite well that she was limited in the strength she could output. So, she wanted to do her best to scare them all away and buy time.
Once her bloodline awoke, she understood many things. Firstly, had she never chosen a partner to anchor herself in this timeline, her bloodline would have never awoken. Essentially, Dyon was the key.
Secondly, she couldn't use power exceeding the anchor that kept her in this timeline. One can imagine what would happen if Little Yin attempted to gather spatial and time qi exceeding her limits. The anchor would grow unstable and she'd be thrust into the vicissitudes of time and space, never to come back.
There was a simple way to put this clause: Little Yin's strength was limited by Dyon's. The stronger Dyon was, the sturdier Little Yin's anchor would be, and thus the more freely she could use space and time qi.
This meant that the reason Little Yin so easily defeated these guild guards was because if Dyon was here, he would be capable of doing the same! They were too weak!
However, this wasn't exactly analogous. Though that may sound like the precursor for a nerf, it was the exact opposite. While Little Yin was limited by Dyon's power, the abilities of time and space were so overwhelming that while Dyon had not a single chance to defeat a dao expert with his own power, Little Yin could hold back and threaten a Lower Dao Formation expert.
Unfortunately… Little Yin had only just awoken her abilities. She didn't dare attempt to envelop Clara in space and time qi to make her disappear because she didn't know if she had the control to pull it off.
This third facet about her ability actually had a clause to it. Celestial Hamsters were really only meant to share their abilities with their anchor. Doing so for others was incredibly taxing and required far more control. Though it should be possible since Clara and Dyon were linked by their souls, Little Yin didn't dare to take the risk.
If worse came to worst, then Little Yin would take the gamble. But, she wanted to see if there was another option lying in wait for her. If she lost Clara's body in the void, she would never forgive herself.
Still, there was one last thing Little Yin had to look forward to. Her and her brother were twins. After sharing the same egg, their minds, souls and abilities had become linked.
Once Little Yang awakened his bloodline, their tandem would dwarf any Celestial Hamster of the past!
Brimming with confidence and a will to protect her big sister Clara, Little Yin's growls continued, as if daring them to approach once more.

"It's time." Madeleine looked out toward the east of the city. To her back, a neatly organized army of 600 000 female disciples followed her.
Her white gown fluttered in the wind along with her flawless violet hair. Crackles of purple flames seemed to spark in the air around her, flashing like miniature fireworks. It was very obvious that this empress was not happy.
There was nothing that needed to be said. Madeleine had no love lost for this Clan of hers. The day she changed her name to Sacharro was a day she felt a burden lift from her shoulders. Yet, the Clan she had left behind actually dared to harm her Clara and Dyon. She was livid.
The plan in her mind had completely changed. This was no longer just about crushing the traitors of the sect, or paying the Golden Crow Sect back for their evil. This was about a woman lashing out in response to her reverse scale being touched.
First, she would crush this approaching army below. But, she wouldn't stop there…
She would lay waste to Sapientia City!
A few meters behind her, Zaire inexplicable began to nod to himself.
"Mhm, mhm. I'm certain of it now." He mumbled to himself.
Damaris c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"
Little Lyla began to giggle, her pink diamond eyes sparkling.
"Big sister Madeleine is definitely scary. Scariest woman I've ever met in my life." Zaire nodded to himself once more, proud of his deduction.
[Author's Note: When Madeleine refers to Sapientia City, she's referring to low, middle, high and peak Sapientia City, not the Sapientia City of Planet Sapientia]
