After Hoggoth left, Su Ming, who had roughly formed a guess, fell silent for a while.
The once-clear pool seemed to have turned murky again. Some unknown existence had interfered with certain matters, but what was its purpose?
There had never been any free benefits in this world. Yet the price was nowhere to be seen now, and that was a problem after all.
There were still four Celestial replicas inside the Orange Cat's stomach. The current tactical arrangement could only be used against these machines.
