It was fortunate that the dive was within his spatial range; otherwise, he would have been powerless to stop it.
"They've been rescued! Make way, make way!"
"You little brat, how dare you run away! I'll beat you to death!"
"Alright, she's unconscious, why are you still hitting her? If you hurt her, how will she be able to have children? Take her back quickly."
