This beast claw was also an eerie gray throughout, yet unlike the Stonefolk. The Stonefolk's bodies seemed like condensations of infinite matter, even reaching some ultimate extreme of "substance."

The dimensional spacetime of the past had indeed contained lands of darkness, but never such an "other spacetime." Clearly, this too was a spatial-temporal "distortion" caused by the appearance of the void.
Before this colossal beast acted, even the saints, though they had sensed the changes in the dimension, had not discovered that the change was of this kind.
In a sense, this spatial-temporal distortion even came with the effect of a barrier to perception and understanding.
"Gray Land, Gray Beast—it has changed to this stage so quickly. As expected, the Gray Calamity is only growing fiercer and fiercer!"
The appearance of the beast claw not only stirred the emotions of the powerhouses on the dimensional spacetime side, but also moved the two visitors from other dimensions.
Over the long years, the Stonefolk Civilization of the other dimension had already conducted systematic research into the Gray Calamity. As far as was currently known, the changes of the Gray Calamity were divided into eight stages.
Generally speaking, a dimension in which the Gray Calamity had only just appeared would initially be between the first and second stages. Gray Land, meanwhile, was a fourth-stage change, while the Gray Beast was something only
