It is said that for any poison the remedy would be found within 20 steps, as Heaven and Earth enjoyed balance in every matter and situation.
But wouldn't the vice-versa of this saying be true as well, for any remedy one could find a poison that the remedy could treat within 20 steps.
The same could be said in this scenario as well, while this heavenly treasure and being like Earth Core existed, and had created a soul, its nemesis was found there around as well.
Earth Core's enemy was nothing less than a Divine Beast, the World Devouring Worm.
It would have been extremely difficult for Eric to actually notice and recognise this little thing, as it had no presence, and most importantly it was almost blended with the Earth's Core.
It felt like this little worm was part of Earth's Core rather than being a separate entity, not to mention its powerful resounding name, the World Devouring Worm.
