Sierra didn't refuse.
With so many people around, this place wasn't completely safe. It was impossible for everyone to absorb Crystal Cores at the same time.
After all, Jayce had said that absorbing Crystal Cores required complete focus.
In that state, they would naturally neglect their surroundings, which could be dangerous.
The best solution was to take turns standing guard for each other.
It was just like in the TV shows she used to watch, where people would stand guard for one another during critical power-ups.
The Crystal Cores were all clean.
Besides, she had already eaten one when she first awakened her Superpower, so Sierra felt no psychological burden and simply tossed a Crystal Core into her mouth.
Once in her mouth, the Crystal Core immediately melted into a liquid and was rapidly absorbed by her body.
Almost instantly, Sierra felt her entire body heat up.
This searing heat, the feeling that she was about to burst into flames—it was all too familiar to Sierra.
