Noah had interacted with divine beings in his life, but they always had something that stopped them from expressing the seventh rank's real power.
Divine Demon was a will, Shandal was the same, the winged beasts' leader was only half-step into the divine ranks, and the Ape God had lost most of its power to create the black sky.
They were never at their full power, and they could barely consider themselves as beings in the divine ranks. Only Divine Demon was an exception since his true self was somewhere in the Immortal Lands.
What he had found at the bottom of the Dark Gorge was different. Noah was in front of a proper divine beast. Something that shouldn't exist in a lower plane.
Moreover, the rank 7 Pterodactyl didn't seem to suffer from the same malnutrition as the specimens. Noah had seen the Ape God unleashing its anger on the world, but his instincts told him that the caged creature was more dangerous.
