As countless speculations surged through Owen's mind, one thing became abundantly clear—this realm was far more complex than he had imagined.
"We human deities keep growing stronger, and it seems this plane is changing in response…"
Owen's expression turned grave. Since becoming a 2-Star Ancient God, he had gained access to information previously hidden from him—and the more he learned, the more he sensed the hostility the Will of the Plane harbored toward human deities.
He couldn't say exactly why that hostility existed, but it was undeniably real.
Before, his Godhood rank had been too low to even sense a being like the Will of the Plane.
And if it weren't for the fusion with the Core Crystal—a mysterious and powerful artifact—he might never have attracted its attention.
But now that he had absorbed the Core Crystal, his combat limit had been broken. Within his domain, he could unleash strength comparable to a tier-8 beginner awakener.
