Inside the Universe Palace.
Dark, silent, chilling!
From the outside, the Universe Palace looked majestic and imposing, like a bright lamp illuminating the night.
Inside... it was utterly sinister!
Not only that, massive pillars stood in rows within the palace, with formations separating them and enveloping the entire palace, making it resemble... a cage!
A cold, sinister, blood-red gaze suddenly flickered in the dark Palace Depths. As that chilling gaze appeared, the formerly noisy palace gradually fell silent.
"How many years has it been?"
The blood-red gaze drew closer from the distance, slowly revealing a stooped old man whose entire body radiated a cold, brutal aura.
As the old man appeared.
The palace fell completely silent.
Every gaze, every figure, turned toward the stooped old man in awe.
Many even lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Black Marsh True God!"
"Greetings, Black Marsh True God."
Others spoke with reverence, utterly respectful, terrified of offending him.
Others might not have known the stooped old man's identity, but they knew it all too well. He was a supreme existence, a Half-Step Ancestral God.
His title was Black Marsh True God!
As a Half-Step Ancestral God, Black Marsh True God was tremendously powerful. It was fair to say that beneath Ancestral Gods, he was practically invincible.
Perhaps his strength had declined over the Endlessness of the years, but...
He was still beyond their ability to contend with.
"How many years has it been?" Black Marsh True God's hoarse voice rang out again. He repeated the same words, but this time, a trace of excitement colored his tone.
"Someone has finally come."
"Although... he is only a half-step true god."
Black Marsh True God's eyes held fervor, and even more brutality.
His gaze slowly swept over everyone present.
