The Three in the Cave

For hundreds of years, Antonio had undoubtedly been one of the foremost human scholars.

But in Reilo's eyes, if the top creatures of Starveil Land were divided into four levels, Antonio was only at the third. He was merely a little stronger than some of the lesser demigods confined to the duchies.

Beyond that, he couldn't be certain.

There was no need to mention the transcendent beings of the third and fourth levels.

If Reilo's Star Body True Body could return to Starveil Land, this clone would just barely reach the threshold of the fourth level. And if he fought in his true form outside the Star Curtain World, he would be able to face even some of the strongest Lower Gods head-on!
