Waiting

Within a space forged from countless crystals.

A trace of bright red blood was slowly flowing.

From Wujin's huge maw, lined with razor-sharp teeth...

There had been no carelessness, nor any intention of sparing her. Even when facing Nissa, who was far weaker than himself, Wujin had still chosen a surprise attack.

Although Nissa was already dead,

Those three twisted figures, motionless for thousands of years, still hovered there, as still as specimens.

As though they had truly been completely sealed away!

After a brief silence,

Wujin slowly lowered his head toward the three Ozhaki, expressing his respect.

As Orsaga's direct creations and first batch of direct descendants,

Imokku, Ulamo, and Kojire stood far above him in status from any perspective!

As one of Orsaga's highest-ranking authorities, one of Orsaga's offshoots, and the supreme leader of the entire Ozhaki race...

A being bearing multiple titles,

It possessed the authority to directly command Wujin, as well as the vast majority of the other
