Ronan could ignore the Illusory Nightmare Clone being "assimilated," but the Illusory Nightmare Clone had instinctive behavior patterns of its own. It was impossible for it to watch helplessly as it melted away.
Even if Ronan could interfere, interfering at this stage would expose other clues.
The situation now was that a perfect cover-up was absolutely impossible!
Great Monarch Ma Ge had already sensed something. No matter how tiny the possibility was, she would definitely conduct a comprehensive search.
Even for a great monarch, on Plane Six, under circumstances like Ronan's, being able to keep Great Monarch Ma Ge from finding him for the time being was already remarkable. He should not have any other extravagant hopes.
Before the Illusory Nightmare Clone completely dissolved, this was his final chance.
At this stage, the path by which Ronan could effectively mobilize power and use the small to contend with the great would inevitably be through the Boundary Curtain. And to use the Boundary Curtain, he inevitably had to use the Illusory Nightmare Clone.
The latter was the most crucial central axis. He could afford to lose anything else, but not it.
With that, the priority order for mobilizing the Giant Pseudo-Ancient God Structure's resources, as well as the sequence and focus of its activation at the Boundary Curtain and the spacetime on both sides, had already been decided.
There was no need to hesitate anymore. In the next second, the Giant Pseudo-Ancient God Structure truly exerted its force, right in that discontinuous spacetime behind the Boundary Curtain.
Ronan had never truly gone there, and the Giant Pseudo-Ancient God Structure had not really stepped across the Boundary Curtain and set itself up there.
This was a "real" strike shot out from "falsehood."
This was a region Great Monarch Ma Ge could know
