Saine's Destruction-form mechanical left arm was formally deployed in battle for the first time.
The battlefield was not at the center.
It lay on the outskirts of the Destruction Heart Core.
This was still one of the most dangerous regions in the entire Destruction Time-Space.
Although the Realm-Suppressing Ring's half-ring had already pinned down one corner of the Destruction Heart Core, that did not mean the surrounding area had become safe.
