Dongguan slowly woke.
"What exactly happened? Why did you suddenly pass out?" A deep voice sounded beside his ear.
Dongguan looked up and around, finding a circle of people gathered around him.
The Chaos City Lord and the Lord of Ice Peak were there in their true bodies, along with Lord Youhou, Lord Long Xing-and the Giant Axe Founder's Divine Power Clone, standing before him.
"Something happened. That 'Myriad-Heart Man'-" Dongguan recounted his encounter with Myriad-Heart Man.

It forcibly altered my consciousness, a method similar to Soul Enslavement. But I felt that being hadn't actually taken action. Its mere existence caused that effect. Like a black hole devouring everything-not because it wants to devour things, but simply because it's there."

He only knew that the pressure when the phantom image formed had "helped" his will break through.
Now, he had almost entirely lost his memories
