The vivid images and raw videos of these demons, shared by the Gods whose lifeforms had encountered them, clearly displayed the terrifying strength, savage ferocity, and predatory cunning of these new adversaries.
They were creatures of nightmare, with jagged teeth, glowing, malevolent eyes, and claws that ripped through flesh with horrifying ease.
Some were hulking brutes, covered in grotesque scales or chitin, while others were slender and swift, moving with a chilling, unnatural grace, always seeking to tear apart and consume.
Their roars resonated with pure malice, and their very presence seemed to warp the air with a sense of dread.
Sunny also took careful notice of all these disturbing videos and chilling images of demons.
However, due to the inherent restrictions of this Realm of Advancement, no God, not even Sunny, could directly access a System description of these new entities or the realm itself.
But with grave danger, there were also many unparalleled opportunities.
For example, the rare herbs and other powerful artifacts found within these worlds were proving to be far more extraordinary and potent than anything ever discovered on their own planets of Gods, hinting at untold riches for those brave enough to seize them.
-They look strong, but still not as strong as Nova,- Sunny mused, his divine perception analyzing the demonic threats through the lens of Nova’s formidable power.
He didn’t feel any immediate threat from these demons originating from the Realm of Advancement, his confidence in his creation absolute.
Nova was not only incredibly strong but was, without a doubt, the strongest of all his current lifeforms, a being crafted for unparalleled power.
Ordinary lifeforms in Veridia typically only had one talent, which at most, might reach an S-Grade upon reaching their peak potential.
In stark contrast, all of Nova’s talents were already at an astonishing SS-Grade, and there were 8 such talents in total, each amplifying the dragon’s capabilities to an almost divine level.
The main, critical point was that other lifeforms still needed to painstakingly reach their full potential through trials and evolution, but Nova was already at the absolute peak of its potential, fully actualized and immensely powerful from the moment of its awakening.
He was truly above all and below only Sunny, thus a true demigod.
Sunny, in his profound understanding of Nova’s design, couldn’t think of any inherent weakness in his dragon, a testament to his meticulous crafting.
Sunny could easily grant Nova any further abilities he desired, enhancing it even more; the only remaining constraint was simply the continuous supply of Faith points.
While Sunny was pondering all these strategic thoughts and assessing the new realm’s challenges and opportunities, Nova was already diligently venturing deep inside the Realm of Advancement.
The magnificent dragon soared through its alien skies, using its potent Eye of Truth to scan far and wide, searching for any valuable artifacts, powerful resources, or lurking threats.
The Eye of Truth was a truly remarkable ability, created by Sunny in such a way that it could instantly show the detailed information and grade of any item or entity upon which Nova’s gaze fell.
Sunny himself didn’t fully comprehend the intricate, divine mechanics of how this particular ability worked; he had simply thought of the concept of an eye that could perceive truth and detail, and it had manifested itself flawlessly within Nova.
Sunny found a multitude of fascinating insights from this initial, successful use of a divine embryo and the spontaneous manifestation of such complex abilities.
He immediately decided to later experiment rigorously on existing artifacts, pondering how he might integrate similar talents directly into them, effectively imbuing inanimate objects with unique powers.
For now, however, his unwavering focus was to meticulously scout this enigmatic realm, absorbing all its secrets and dangers through the keen, all-perceiving perception of Nova.

-Master, I have completed my search in the hundred thousand kilometer radius of the portal.- Nova said to Sunny through the instantaneous connection between them.
This exhaustive search had not even taken a few minutes of Nova’s precious time.
Due to its powerful magic affinity, the effects of any magic or abilities used by Nova were manyfold more potent than ordinary.
Thus, accompanied by the already incredibly powerful Eye of Truth, the perception and scouting capability of Nova was truly astonishing, covering vast distances in mere moments.
-Don’t harm the lifeforms of other Gods and take the treasures from the faraway places only.- Sunny instructed Nova, his divine thoughts clear and precise.
He didn’t want the other Gods to perceive Nova as a direct threat or a rival, potentially putting his valuable dragon on their collective hitlist.
Sunny was not afraid of the retaliation of one single God, as his own power was formidable.
However, if all the Gods collectively felt a profound fear or threat from Nova, they could easily combine their vast reserves of faith to create a much stronger demigod specifically to counter Nova, a scenario Sunny wished to avoid.
The reason behind taking the treasures only from far places was also strategic: Sunny didn’t want to deplete the valuable resources immediately near the portal to Veridia.
Those resources were destined to be helpful to his own lifeforms once they eventually reached the Realm of Advancement.
Noticing that even in a hundred thousand kilometer radius, the curvature of the earth was still flat, which clearly denoted the truly enormous size and vastness of this new realm.
Sunny stopped paying such close, constant attention to Nova’s ongoing exploration and started to fully immerse himself in his manifestation talent, eager to push its boundaries.
As Sunny was deeply immersed in his groundbreaking experiments, the God chat was still as lively and chaotic as always.
Some Gods were expressing profound distress, crying out due to what they termed the third misfortune to befall their worlds, indicating recurring calamities.
Others were intensely busy, consumed with thinking about and devising elaborate plans for the transportation of their lifeforms to where the elusive portal was located, a significant logistical challenge for many.
Many established alliances, like the Wisdom Alliance of Strategist, the Timeless Council of Kairos, the Builder Union of Builder, the Merchant Union of Mercator, and many other smaller, less prominent alliances, were also intensely busy in collecting vast amounts of faith.
This collected faith was then primarily provided to their respective alliance leaders and to those select members possessing high-grade talents, ensuring the growth and strength of their collective.
All the members were doing this not out of fear or out of blind reverence towards their alliance leader, but purely due to a clear understanding of mutual benefit and shared prosperity.
For example, the faith points diligently provided by the members of the Timeless Council was generously given to Kairos, their leader.
Kairos, in turn, would strategically use this concentrated faith in his own world, thus significantly enhancing the growth and prosperity of his civilization.
In return, Kairos could provide many good and invaluable things to the members of his council, such as advanced magic techniques developed in his world due to the influence of his unique 10x time ability, a benefit immensely valuable to their own divine endeavors.
Sunny, however, was not lacking in faith points; his own reserves were substantial, thus he hadn’t asked his own alliance members for any faith points.
Otherwise, he could have easily garnered an additional half a million faith points, a testament to his alliance’s loyalty and numbers.
The effects of Sunny’s continuous experiments were beginning to show promising results.
