As the woman chanted.
The chaos surrounding the Supernatural Space began to retreat wildly, seemingly unwilling to touch those twisted black-and-gray lines. The Divine Temple at the center of the square also began to tremble slightly.
Inside...
Something enormous seemed to be imprisoned there, and now it, too, had been awakened.
Above the chaos.
The "Prisoner" and the "Gray-White Evil Creature" also stirred. The "Prisoner" opened his mouth in a soundless roar, causing the entire void to expand and contract to an outrageous degree, twisting everything into chaos.
It was as though he were suffering unimaginable torment.
Across the sky.
Red.
Green.
Blue.
Yellow.
It looked as though multicolored paints had been spilled, smearing the sky with vivid, dazzling colors.
These colors had no physical substance.
Yet they formed illusory bubbles like boiling water.
Within every bubble.
A terrifying place was reflected.
There were steep stone mountains covered in sharp iron trees, deserts lined with red-hot copper pillars, deep, bottomless ice caverns, and molten lava billowing scorching smoke...
And in these places.
Countless human figures writhed and screamed, enduring these unimaginable tortures.
Every single figure.
Looked exactly like the "Prisoner" high above!
They were all him!
On another layer.
The gray-white monster shaped like brain tissue stood quietly in the air, displaying none of the "Prisoner's" tremendous spectacle. Yet none of the Prisoner's effects could reach the area around him.
Not only that.
An influence that could neither be seen, heard, nor touched spread from his body.
It reached every corner of the square...
No.
Not just the square!
This power also passed through the Supernatural Space and reached the Nether Sea outside. Countless evil creatures and sea monsters active in the Nether Sea suddenly seemed to have had a pause button pressed on them.
They all stopped moving.
Bewilderment.
