Alice had a summoning ability called [Hookworm] and a skill called [Thought Manipulation].
However, she couldn’t control Elijah after she implanted the worm into his neck because of his [Mental Resistance].
She planned on upgrading the skill later when the time was right. After all, she had a leveling/upgrading schedule to optimize the strongest conceivable build to follow.
It also wasn't certain that the skill would work on a powerful individual like Elijah, who possessed the Hero System.
When Elijah was about to be killed, she used this skill to enter Elijah’s mental world to help him.
When she was fighting with Hikaru, his real plan was just to buy some time while his worm made its way there. Time moves slower outside in the real world because their thoughts are accelerated.
Many black holes opened up behind her. Many shadow hands restrained her arms and pierced through her back.
“Alice! No! You leave her alone!” Elijah cried out.
