The three members of the Legion felt another burst of soreness.
The bloody threads connecting the Wings of Chiba to the nerves and flesh of Gu He's back completely retracted, breaking the connection with the Container. The wings hovered in the air before snapping onto Chiba-Gibson's shoulder blades like a magnet.
With a swish and a sizzle, they released their bloody threads once more, piercing the Postmen uniform to link with her nerves.
At the same time, however, the mental pressure Chiba-Gibson endured from the Shengong Grand Fabrication was steadily increasing.
The long wings attached successfully, but she immediately staggered and nearly lost her footing. She bent slightly, as if crushed by their sheer weight, and her complexion paled...
