At this moment, Naimus, within the True Spirit, was undergoing an extremely significant transformation.
"Sure enough, one can also achieve a spiral through one's own change and constancy!" Naimus sighed.
From mastering Deflection Force: nothing to something.
Then from losing Deflection Force: something to nothing.
Then reclaiming Deflection Force once more: nothing to something.
This was, in fact, a spiral transformation.
Naimus never did anything pointless.
Every attempt at a breakthrough, every chosen change, every failure and restart—in essence, they were all merely accumulation.
Just as the Storm God never took risks, only expanding his own advantages step by step before crushing the God of Bestowal with overwhelming momentum and forcing him to concede.
Naimus was much the same.

If everything had failed, that was fine too. Naimus still had this contingency plan—since ancient times.
