"I didn't know this was going to be that kind of tea party," spoke the Supreme ruler as he grabbed the lemonade mug and eyed the others. "Is Divine aware of this?"
Lex did not hear the second sentence that the ruler spoke, though he had a feeling that this new guest had said something.
Immediately, Nuwa's aura wrapped around the Innkeeper to protect him as Nuwa, Ventura and Eclipse all three drew their weapons.
"Hold your tongue, Asho," Ventura ordered, not a shred of his former civility left behind. Or maybe he really was being civil, because Eclipse's reaction was even stronger.
"I will cleanse the universe of your race if you dare toy with me!" she declared. For a moment, Lex felt that behind her he saw the illusion of a massive and terrifying spider, with its webs extending far into the universe. Although Lex had no proof, he could sense that those webs seemed to be moving closer to countless Henali.
