Which of these two possibilities was more likely?
Without a doubt, the second one.
If the other party truly possessed the ability to kill him with ease, he would probably have acted long ago. After all, hadn't he come here to kill him in the first place?
Yet he still had not acted. Even though he had shown the desire to do so, he still had not made a move. Didn't that prove that the other party lacked sufficient confidence in dealing with him?
That woman, on the other hand—he had not sensed the slightest threat from her, as though she truly were merely a human far weaker than himself.
Yet the manner of her appearance, along with the strange implications in her words, made him feel that she could not be so simple.
"Even if it is false, once it has memories, it becomes just like the real thing"?
"In a sense, this is still a real world"?
What exactly did that woman mean?
Could she be saying that the people of this world were actually false beings who merely possessed memories?
But how could that be possible? If they were false, then as the Dragon King who ruled over death, he should have been the first to notice something wrong, because false beings could not possess souls.
Could it be that this world, along with its people, had actually been created by some higher existence for the sake of observation?
If so, then shouldn't he, an Otherworld visitor possessing the Heavenly Origin Pearl, be even more worthy of observation? Why had no one appeared to capture him even now?
It could not be that they feared his strength, could it?
Besides, his Heavenly Origin Pearl had not detected any power of a higher Status in this world.
