"What is this?" it cried out, its eyes fixed intently on the Merciless Emperor.
Just now, it had felt a powerful force, one that terrified it—one it hadn't felt even when facing the Creator God.
Whoosh!
Another flash of fire, and this time it could clearly see that the power came from the Merciless Emperor's abdomen.
