The sounds of aberrations fighting filled the plaza without end. Unlike fights between humans, battles between aberrations were far more brutal and savage. Before long, several of the strongest aberrations had lost arms and legs.
Xu Zhi saw an opportunity in this.
Sneaking in and taking it was nearly impossible, but these aberrations had no idea there was a mantis stalker watching from the shadows. Once the battle between them produced a victor, she would release her Familiars to draw their attention.
When the time came, the sudden appearance of powerful enemies would definitely put them on guard. Little Aberration and Little One could then throw the situation into further chaos. With everyone focused on the Familiars, and with her cloak lowering her presence while Little One's massive body served as cover, her chances of slipping through should increase considerably.
Xu Zhi took the opportunity to carefully observe the extraordinary abilities of these powerful aberrations. She was clearly not the only one hoping to fish in troubled waters. During this time, quite a few weaker aberrations tried to sneak in as well, only to be immediately discovered and killed.
Whenever someone tried to break through their defenses and take the moon, these powerful aberrations would halt their infighting to kill the intruder first. But that did not mean they were allies. After all, once the other aberrations died, they showed no mercy toward one another.
The fight continued for more than ten minutes, yet the crack remained. The aberrations did not seem eager to take out the moon immediately, so Xu Zhi concluded that the crack probably would not disappear anytime soon. It might even remain until the moon was taken away.
And after it was taken away, would the crack vanish or expand?
Xu Zhi thought it would expand—perhaps
