It was something that Chi-Woo and even the Sernitas, who were sharing consciousness with the Abyss King, couldn’t have predicted. They heard a sudden cry, and the connection they had managed to reestablish with great efforts showed signs of cutting off again. The Abyss King was trying to free himself from their control once more, and the Sernitas hurriedly analyzed the situation.

—…!

They exclaimed in shock. The Abyss King had done something he shouldn’t have—something truly unbelievable. At this point, there was really no turning back.

—Warning. Warning. Warning. Warning.

Some suggested that they needed to gather more information, but as a collective, the Sernitas immediately cut off all connections with the Abyss King. Otherwise, they might be hit with great backlash along with the Abyss King. It was then Chi-Woo sensed the abnormalities happening around him.

—What?

Philip also asked worriedly and looked around. The world that had recovered more than half of its luminance was darkening again. Chi-Woo didn’t have a good feeling about this. How should he describe it? Just a moment ago, the Abyss King had been barely maintaining his existence and appeared like he couldn’t cope any longer. Then, it should’ve been normal for all the consciousnesses that made up the Abyss King to escape from his control and run wild. But instead, they seemed to be merging into one.

They weren’t simply sharing abilities or anything...
