The crisis facing Storm City undoubtedly required John's intervention.
However, John currently had no spare capacity to attend to the situation in Storm City.
His primary objective was to assist Shatras in successfully defeating Abyssal Fearmonger.
The power that Abyssal Fearmonger was exhibiting now was significantly different from before.
In the confrontation with Shatras, Duke Arsena, and Natasha, Abyssal Fearmonger did not reveal his strongest form; he was merely delaying their actions.
But with John's arrival, Abyssal Fearmonger realized he needed to unleash his full strength, sensing from John a formidable force that could cause the entire Dark Faction to pay a hefty price.
Abyssal Fearmonger concentrated all his dark power into a single point, transforming his massive form into an ethereal eye.
This phantom eye seemed to hover in the high skies of the Dark Realm, yet also appeared directly in front of John and Natasha.
