Ancient God...
Its normal parts?
Xu Yuan fell into thought.
If someone said that some of the Ancient God's organs were normal and others abnormal, and that the abnormal ones had driven it mad until it wanted to destroy everything—
That was easy enough to believe.
He had some experience with that himself.
But—
The image of Ming He in human female form surfaced in Xu Yuan's mind.
This being was an Ancient God Official who was entirely rational and measured everything by her own safety.
She had developed self-awareness only after the Ancient God feigned death.
So what was going on with the Ancient God here?
It was worth investigating!
"All right. Let me see this Iron Coffin."
Xu Yuan spoke.
"Of course. It's wonderful that you're willing to take the trouble. I'll lower the Iron Coffin right away. And by the way, your Sword in the Stone works wonders against these monsters. Please be careful."
The spiderlike monster chattered on as it climbed back up its thread.
Soon,
the enormous, heavy Iron Coffin descended slowly and settled before Xu Yuan without a sound.
The rest of the team was still fighting all manner of monsters.
Things were quiet around Xu Yuan.
There was only the enormous Iron Coffin, resting silently before him.
Should he open it?
What would happen if he did?

Xu Yuan himself was only human.
Even after seeing the Ancient God's body split apart through the Cycle Field, he had no idea what use this thing might be.
Wait. Ming He.
This might be one of Ming He's "own kind."
If nothing else, he could take it to her and let her have a look.
At that thought,
