After Saine dismantled rule nodes across multiple areas of Destruction Time-Space, the Destruction Supreme finally began changing its response to the battle.
This change did not stem from intelligence.
It was more as though Destruction Time-Space's own self-preservation mechanism had been forced to activate.
Previously, although those level-12 destruction creatures were all influenced by the Destruction Supreme and the destruction core, they had largely fought independently.
The crystal tide wrath beast charged.
The Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast unleashed Destruction Vision.
The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch maintained the clusters of Dark Obelisks.
The Boundary-Severing Bronze Corpse tore through space.
Most of the other level-12 destruction creatures also followed their own instincts, fighting across different battle zones.
But things were different now.
With the crystal tide wrath beast, Hundred-Eyed Chaos Beast, Silent Wheel Burier, and Ash Sea Singer successively sealed or controlled, and half of the Empty-Faced Burning Monarch's rule true body sealed as well, Destruction Time-Space had realized that continuing to fight this way would only allow Saine to dismantle it piece by piece.
Thus, a silent destruction ripple spread in every direction from the Destruction Supreme.
The ripple made no sound.
Yet it caused the destruction crystal tide throughout the entrance battlefield to sink abruptly.
The Black Sun Falling Monarch responded first.
This level-12 destruction creature, resembling an inverted dead sun, had been sucking in the surrounding shattered continents and transforming them into a black rain of destruction light that it cast back over the battlefield.
But after the destruction ripple swept past, it suddenly stopped spreading that rain of light and began moving toward the Destruction Supreme instead.
The Headless Spear Chief also began withdrawing.
It had been lurking deep within the destruction crystal tide, constantly picking off high-ranking targets.
Agulos and Long Ga had only managed to disrupt the timing
