The Atom's Trick

Chen Shouyi had encountered a Fear-type Quasi-god before, and the impression it had left on him was extremely deep.

Unlike orthodox gods, this kind didn't need faith. They lived by spreading fear, creating terror, and absorbing the fear of mortals. This Sea Monster had clearly mastered the art.

The entire ocean floor lay clear before his "eyes." He could even probe more than a hundred
