As Lex's words fell, Dilos felt a terrifying chill spread from his tailbone through his entire body. His heart even seemed to skip a beat in panic.
Dilos's first reaction was that his identity as a transmigrator had been exposed. But on second thought, that did not seem right, because Lex's literal meaning was not that he came from another universe, but...
