Beneath the gray, dim sky, the eyes of the giant face growing from the heavens darted around as they surveyed the surroundings. Across the devastated ground, countless deformed Monsters crawled about gleefully.
In this region, where everything had been permanently altered by [Aberration], chaos was the norm.

Pulling her gaze away from that region, where even a glance would send one's Sanity plummeting, Fireworks of Romance looked toward Bai Zhi as if she were looking at a Monster.
Something so terrifying had happened here, so naturally they could not have failed to notice it. They had initially thought that [Extreme Darkness] had caused some new trouble, but they had not expected to receive such an answer from Bai Zhi.
"Cough, cough... an accident."

"Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time."
"...It would be best if there isn't a next time."
"Uh..."
After Mu Mu and the others left, Bai Zhi reexamined his Material Library with a completely different mindset.
