What was an abyss lord level being with no brain, acting entirely on instinct, generally like?
You could call their behavior rigid.
But you could not call them stupid.
After all, if they could successfully grow to the abyss lord level while acting on instinct alone, they necessarily possessed all kinds of senses with sensitivity beyond imagination.
Those senses allowed them to easily evade all manner of schemes, traps, and certain-death situations, even without much capacity for thought.
Moreover, you could call them mad dogs.
But you absolutely could not call them weak.
Among beings of the same level, their strength almost invariably started at the middle of the pack.
There were no weaklings among them.
They put all their points into raw violence.
Not a single point went into intelligence.
Therefore.
Their combat prowess was inevitably formidable.
They were true fighters who had slaughtered their way to the top, killing and killing and killing.
So.
Faced with those fruits that were about to fall, the other contestants dared not let their guard down either.
They were bent on getting rid of that bunch of lunatics as quickly as possible.
Otherwise.
One careless moment.
And they really might find themselves brought down.
Or those lunatics might disrupt crucial stages of their various plans.
Several years later.
As that native life-form tirelessly continued chopping the tree.
A dark red fruit finally fell under everyone's watchful eyes.
At that instant.
Some strange power immediately began spreading and manifesting, visibly impatient, as though the life-form inside had long since grown tired of waiting.
Then.
An enormous roar rang out!!
"ROAR!!!"
It was like a declaration that a bloodthirsty beast was about to leave its cage.
Those invisible sound waves.
Turned directly into pillars of light at that very moment, erupting in midair!
