After the incident in the Caster City State, Wei'en came to a profound understanding: to survive in this world, he needed enough power to protect himself.
He knew very well that his ability to kill those Vasquez People and defeat Ales was only due to the aberrant augmentation caused by Tina's Calamity Origin.
If he had relied solely on his own strength, forget defeating Ales—the spears of the Vasquez People alone could have run him through.
Although his awakened innate abilities played a part in the end, his own base attributes first had to reach a certain level.
These past few days, as Wei'en recalled the events of that night, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
'There was relief, lingering fear, and a touch of sorrow from parting. At the same time, he also felt a bit lost and helpless about the path ahead. But the one thing he didn't feel was regret.'
