The two of them were more than enough to activate the concealment and transformation attributes of the Phantom Array Stone.

The instant it was summoned, there was a certain chance it would be detected by the surrounding sensors.

In fact, while the Void Demon had been escaping through the void on its way here, it had repeatedly discovered tiny mechanical insects hidden deep within the forests.

Without a doubt, these mechanical insects were most likely monitoring devices. Though their numbers did not seem particularly great, with only a few appearing at widely spaced intervals, this was enough to prove that the Father of Truth had by no means made no arrangements within the Truth Mountain Range.
