Suddenly, the light screen darkened. People from all dynasties looked up, completely bewildered.
Er Gou: "Why did the sky screen turn black?"
Zhao Si: "The gods must be angry. Quick! Slaughter a few head of livestock and prepare a sacrifice."
Just then, a voice came from the light screen.
===[Sky Screen]===
Wolf: "Do you see now? You can't run from us.."
???: "
Lion: "Ah~ If we're being technical, what our master has planned apparently isn't one of the City's taboos."
Lion: "It's just the kind of thing that… no one has ever dared to consider, you catch my drift?"

Qin Dynasty
"Li Si, do you know where The City mentioned in the sky is located?"
Li Si: "Your Majesty, forgive your subject's ignorance; I have never heard of this City either. However, based on my deductions, it is likely some barbarian land that our Great Qin has yet to discover."
Li Si's words were met with agreement from the other ministers. After all, no one in their Great Qin would name their children after animals like Wolf or Lion.

Liu Bei: "Military Counselor, do you know what the ■■■■■■ thing being engraved by the person in the sky is?"
Kongming stroked his beard and said calmly, "It seems less like a name and more like a form of concealment. It must be something that we mortals cannot comprehend."
Furthermore, the sound emitted was not like a human's, but a ticking sound.
===[Sky Screen]===
Lion: "Huh, would you look at that…"
Leopard: "You managed to get a different head in so fast. Do people like you always come prepared?"
At this moment, the light screen brightened, and a scene appeared. In a dark forest, a man wearing a padded coat and holding twin-headed axes seemed to be speaking to someone.
???: "
It was only now that the ancients could clearly see the appearance of the thing making the ticking sound.
It wore a red jacket, black leather pants, and a bowtie, but its head was a bizarre red clock with flames flickering atop it.

Tang Dynasty
"What... what kind of monster is this appearing on the sky screen? A human body topped with a head that is who-knows-what."
The Common People of Chang'an City were scared witless by this sight, and this included Emperor Taizong of Tang in the imperial palace.
"What on earth is this? Li Chunfeng, do you know what that monster in the sky is?"
Li Chunfeng: "Your Majesty, forgive your subject's incompetence; there is no record of such a monster in the ancient texts."
Emperor Taizong of Tang: "Hey... quickly, go invite the Dharma Masters to perform a ritual and exorcise the demon."

Qing Dynasty
"This thing in the sky looks quite like those clocks the Westerners sent over."
"The Old Buddha has a sharp eye indeed; that monster in the sky has one of those things sent by the Westerners for a head."
"It's an eyesore. Quick, take all those clocks in the palace and smash them," Old Cixi said with a look of impatience.
Li Lianying: "Yes, Old Buddha."
===[Sky Screen]===
Lion: "Haha, I guess that new noggin doesn't come with a mouth, huh?"
Wolf: "Yep, ticking is all I can hear. You think they're screaming on the inside?"
Two more women appeared here, wearing padded coats just like the man named Leopard.
The woman named Lion had white hair, faint claw marks on her face, and wore iron gauntlets equipped with sharp claws.
The girl named Wolf was the shortest of the three, with long, deep blue hair and a sword in her hand.

Qin Dynasty
Although they could tell from the voices that they were female, it was still quite shocking to actually see them.
Wang Ben: "That woman named Lion looks very strong, and her own prowess should be quite formidable."
In this era of cold weapons, the longer the weapon, the greater the advantage. Ancient soldiers mainly used long spears. Although there were many sword masters in the martial world, they still had to obediently pick up spears on the battlefield.
Furthermore, gauntlets were weapons that demanded a great deal of physical strength.

Three Kingdoms
"Fengxiao, who do you think is stronger among those people in the sky?" asked Cao Cao, who was currently in the period of the Battle of Guandu.
"Prime Minister, according to my observations, in terms of strength, the woman named Lion is stronger. In terms of weaponry, the man named Leopard is stronger. As for the woman named Wolf..."
"I believe she is on par with the other two. What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Cao Cao: "Fengxiao, you are quite right. However, they are definitely no match for Yunchang."

Song Dynasty
Sour Scholar A: "As women, they actually show their faces in public like that."
Sour Scholar B: "Those two women who do not observe the womanly virtues should be drowned in pig baskets."
