When white light flooded the world, even Lu PingAn's Eye of Truth felt pain.
Many of the unlucky mid- and high-tier individuals who stared directly at it were fortunate enough to merely collapse with blood streaming from their eyes. Most ordinary people lost their sight immediately instead, which protected their fragile brains.
...This thing probably really requires some Forbidden Knowledge. The ignorant probably can't even break through its defenses.
Lu PingAn tried to comprehend its existence, but only received responses such as "King of Water" and "Gluttonous Devourer."
This probably did not even count as a clone of Eight-Clawed, yet it was still the most powerful existence Lu PingAn had ever encountered.
...At least its health bar lit up.
Lu PingAn understood. This was actually part of Eight-Clawed's "existence," the "claw" it used to connect two worlds.
It was also because of its existence that it could link and locate several worlds, allowing the Plane Gates of many Octopus Worlds to open here.
"The question is, how do we deal with something like this?"
The sky was still burning, while the ocean had begun boiling outright. Lu PingAn did not even want to know whether the ocean had truly been cooked or if it was merely an illusion caused by that bizarre power.
Still, Lu PingAn felt somewhat uneasy. That obvious sense of another world made him feel as if he had entered Eight-Clawed's malicious realm.
"Looking at it now, what the secret realm simulated back then was pure trash."
Only after truly coming into contact with an indescribable existence did he become even more certain that the Son of Evil God replicated in the Salvation Secret Realm had been a weakened, altered version, much like those high-level Professionals who had lost at least three tiers of actual combat strength.
