Before the Space-Time Gate, Green was bound immobile by the Scorpion Woman's vines. He could only watch helplessly as the King of Sandworms on the other side slowly stabilized the Space-Time Gate.
The King of Sandworms and the Scorpion Woman traded as though no one else existed, exchanging what each lacked. The foreign powerhouse she had connected with this time was clearly far beyond those from before. Although they traded only low-grade items, for the Scorpion Woman trapped in this world, it at least dispelled some of the boredom and loneliness of those endless years.
