Time rewound slightly to a few minutes earlier.
Snail Man controlled the stone statue, destroying and assimilating Mad Demon Green.
However.
Snail Man's vision differed slightly from that of the spectators below.
When the statue's assimilation rate reached 60%, the spectators could clearly notice something unusual.

Seeing the cave passage rooted in the arena, Green nodded in satisfaction. "I knew I hadn't misjudged you... You do have some skill.
It's impossible for you to replicate me, but being able to replicate a stable
