Chapter 138 303-7_2

But no matter who he was, he couldn't possibly affect the outcome of the struggle between the two realms. So at this juncture, the Ancient Serpent didn't pay any attention to his emotions.

If he escaped in time, then he could consider himself lucky. If he remained there once the conflict between the realms was over...

Some are large, some small, and each radiate differently colored lights. It's as if they correspond with the sky above, forming a 'starry sky' below all worlds.

"The Abyss is truly a wondrous place."
