["Explaining this to you would be extremely troublesome. It involves this world's most closely guarded secrets. Telling you would bring me a hundred harms and not a single benefit..."]

[Back then, every move the Simulated Clone made in the [Demon Realm] must have been under his watch.]

(Mentioned in Chapter 269.)
[Granted, everything had turned out fine in the end!]
[But his strength was certainly nothing to scoff at.
