Boom.
The Ocean Rift Seal Lands remained deathly silent.
Endless black-gray tides surged through the abyss like rivers from the end of time itself.
Ancient lightning illuminated the darkness occasionally.
And deep within the forbidden land—
Situ stood motionlessly.
The mysterious Grandmist infant floated quietly before him.
Its gray eyes remained calm.
Ancient.
Bottomless.
Boom.
Yet for the first time since entering the Ocean Rift Seal Lands—
Situ no longer wished to move deeper.
Boom.
His double-pupiled Grandmist Eyes gazed toward the endless darkness ahead.
Beyond the regions he currently occupied—
the Grandmist tides became incomparably denser.
Even light vanished completely there.
Time itself seemed absent.
And hidden within that deeper abyss—
something terrifying watched silently.
Boom.
Situ could feel it clearly now.
An unprecedented sense of crisis.
Not ordinary danger.
Not the kind he had faced countless times before.
But true annihilation.
