Lionel Yeager was suddenly taken aback and asked in his heart, "Senior Torres, Mr. Carney, have you been watching the battle all along?"
"Yes."
Gale Lawson replied, "We awoke as soon as you started fighting, so we wanted to see what you were up to."
Gale Lawson continued with a chuckle, "However, kid, you haven't disgraced me and Big Brother at all, having continuously defeated all Earth Immortals. Not bad at all!"
Lionel Yeager helplessly said, "Seniors, since you were observing the battle, why didn't you lend me strength to deal with that Pope of the Holy Light?"
Gale Lawson sighed, "Kid, if we helped you with everything, how would you ever grow?
Besides, we didn't think you were in danger, so of course we wouldn't intervene."
Gale Lawson added, "The most important thing is, at the final moment, the energy within you was already strong enough.
If we had given you more strength, it wouldn't have helped you; it might have even harmed you."
"Understood."
