Luo Qi stared blankly at Diana, then involuntarily swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat. "You mean... Visas is still alive?"
"I never said that."
"But that's clearly what you meant!" Luo Qi said. "Otherwise, why are you so afraid of unsealing him? Isn't that just a soulless corpse?"
"That is indeed the case. Visas's soul has long since been annihilated. The Gods have confirmed this countless times. What is locked away at the lowest level of the Abyss Prison is nothing more than a remnant body without a soul or any rules," Diana said. "But even so, it is still Visas's body. It is hard not to think too much about it, especially for people like you and me, who have experienced Visas's power firsthand."
"To be honest, Visas's power doesn't leave nearly as deep an impression on me as the one outside."

"I don't know whether Visas can wake up, but what the one outside intends to do is obvious now. Can't he break your seals from the outside?"
"Of course he can."
"Then there you have it." Luo Qi said, "If you don't use those seals against him, he'll tear them apart himself. When that happens, they'll all be useless!"

Just then, urgent reports came from the Guardians outside
