When it came to black-and-white bears, the first thing everyone thought of was the adorably clumsy panda. But bears with the same black-and-white coloring could evoke completely different impressions depending on how those colors were distributed.
There had once been a joke on the early internet asking why pandas had black eye circles and white faces instead of white eye circles and black faces.
People's answer was simple: because if the black and white on a panda were switched, the adorable national treasure would instantly go from a cute creature to a vicious bandit wearing a stocking over its head...
The Crit Bear looked exactly like a "corrupted" version of a panda.
Its perfectly coordinated coloring and fierce, cunning gaze made it look exactly like a bandit who had just robbed a bank.
The Giant Ape roared, making the earth tremble. Yellowish-brown light surged forth and clung to its body, making it even larger. Its massive fists smashed into the ground, and when they rose again, they were covered in thick stone gauntlets.
The Giant Ape charged forward with a roar, wildly swinging its fists at the Crit Bear. That frenzied Ape Charge looked as though it could overturn a Ten Thousand Year Sub-Dragon and smash it to death.
Yet, upon seeing this, a humanlike trace of mockery appeared on the Crit Bear's face...
It was as if it were sneering, That's all you've got?
A glint flashed through the Crit Bear's eyes. At a speed utterly unreasonable for both its body and the gravity around it, it became a streak of black light and instantly appeared behind the Giant Ape.
Its agile movements made it look nothing like a Bear Type Soul Beast. It was more like a Hell Spirit Cat launching a surprise attack.
