Rocky, who was waiting for the Goblin Emperor to leave the throne room, stayed in his position for nearly half an hour before making a move.
Tiona's clone was helping him and had scouted ahead above ground. After being told that there was nothing odd, the Magma Bal-Boa deemed that it was safe to finally steal the Shard of Origin since no one was guarding it.
Of course, Rocky found it odd that no one had been left to protect the Artifact that controlled the Fate of the Ratmen Race.
However, he and Tiona's had already made careful analysis of the surroundings multiple times and didn't find anything that could pose a threat to them.
So after careful consideration, Rocky no longer hesitated and made his way to the artifact as fast as he could.
When he was right below the Shard of Origin, Rocky opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
