• As Ingetsu hovered above the planet’s ocean, giant Mosasaurus-like creatures burst from the water and lunged at him.

Ingetsu observed a planet where enormous, energy-altered creatures had evolved into an advanced civilization, then subdued the giant beasts attacking him and surveyed the world. He asked the Evil God and Agulu about the avatar of the Evil God’s main body hidden there, and the Evil God explained that it had been sent to develop and find them.
