Solus swallowed hard. He was utterly baffled. He had clearly scouted the area before landing, and this universe had no high-energy lifeforms at all. So where had this Multiverse-level monster come from??

But could a single human beat a tiger? An unarmed adult facing a powerful beast would probably have no outcome other than sliding straight into its jaws.
Cooperation was the greatest advantage of social animals. Likewise, social creatures with societies would not develop overly well-rounded individual power. The Morlun Family was the same. Through cooperation, they could survive in the Multiverse, but any one of them alone would absolutely lose to any Multiverse-level being.

Seeing his family members repeatedly slam into the barrier formed by the mechanical lifeforms, Solus shouted, "Calm down! Everyone, calm down! Drain their energy,
