(A/N: Henceforth, the original Skullius will be referred to simply as Skullius, while the other will be Future Skullius.)
Skullius had been intimidated by COLMUUN's entreaty when he was reading the nine contracts. He had been convinced that COLMUUN was indeed a big threat and could indeed deliver on his promises.
(A/N: Refer to Ch.1374.)
Indeed, COLMUUN really could have been second only to AKHASHA and the other one he mentioned.
But Skullius had been distracted from the potential danger this Primeval Deit- as well as the others - could cause him because of everything else that had been happening, everything that he felt should have been addressed at the time; the reason behind VOW's warning against TITEMIUS, for instance.
To find out that the threat he disregarded could have actually come to squeeze the life out of him if it weren't for his replica was a blow to Skullius.
"Was he on the way here?" he asked Future Skullius.
