At the top of the Tower of Great Sage, Dousuke, who was meditating with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, revealing a look of surprise in his clouded pupils.
What surprised him was not the "Angel Descent," but the fact that the "Eternal Hunger Claw," which had descended upon the mortal realm, retreated so effortlessly.
What on earth happened?
Dousuke could not comprehend the dramatic change that unfolded before him.
And the entity hiding in his shadow couldn't understand the hint of regret and timidity that "Eternal Hunger Claw" showed before leaving either.
A misty black serpent crawled out from Dousuke's wrist, slithering toward the Crystal Ball before him, gently flicking its faintly visible tongue.
A whisper from the void appeared in his mind, carrying a nonchalant arrogance mingled with a barely noticeable vigilance.
"This is unusual."
