When the man in a suit and bowler hat appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.
Because his attire was completely out of place compared to the environment and the two Gold Saints nearby.
"Alright, alright, you two can take a break now."
The man spoke and, unbelievably, stepped onto the air itself, walking upwards.
He raised his right hand, placing his palm on his forehead as if to get a better look at the Antarctic monster.
"I see... so that's how it is. This is quite interesting."
This man was none other than Yaoma.
The Antarctic monster's behavior had piqued his interest, and he couldn't resist taking action himself.
He didn't care even if others saw him.
"How fascinating. I can see it—the chaotic time-space turbulence... its true body isn't here at all."
As Yaoma spoke, he deliberately lifted both hands, forming a "telescope" shape by touching his thumbs and index fingers together, peering at the distant Antarctic monster.
Then he rushed toward the Antarctic monster.
What Shion had experienced earlier now happened to Yaoma as well.
Though it looked like he was getting closer to the Antarctic monster, the next moment, the distance between them stretched again.
"Heh... a looping time-space distortion, huh? For someone like me, this is nothing."
As soon as Yaoma finished speaking, an incredibly powerful Cosmos burst out from him.
It swirled around like a tornado, surging outward.
The violent wind transformed into black blades, like demonic claws,
ripping countless cracks into the space itself,
tearing the fabric of reality like a tattered cloth!
Revealing another Antarctica behind it!
And the Antarctic monster, which had seemed so far away from Yaoma,
instantly appeared right in front of him!
"GUGUGUGU!!!!"
The Antarctic monster let out a bizarre screech—not the sound of any known insect, but more like a mammal.
In short, the Antarctic monster was enraged because Yaoma had seen through its power.
The tendrils on its face slowly parted, revealing fierce, savage eyes beneath.
"Hehe, you can't hide anymore, huh?"
Yaoma wasn't scared at all; instead, he sneered and mocked it.
The Antarctic monster, furious at being taunted, lunged at Yaoma.
But the very next second, a swirling vortex-like black hole appeared before Yaoma.
When the Antarctic monster touched the black hole, its body began breaking down into particles and was sucked into the vortex!
Not a single fragment remained.
After the Antarctic monster was completely consumed, Yaoma snapped his fingers.
The black hole closed on its own, as if nothing had happened.
"Done. Time to leave."
With that, Yaoma vanished from the spot.
Right after, the paused time around Deuteros and Shion resumed.
The two of them were still thinking about how to deal with the Antarctic monster, but now it was nowhere to be seen, leaving them confused.
It wasn't until they saw the other people's messages on the screen that they realized what had just happened.
Tony Stark: What just happened?! Who was that guy? What did he do?!
The Ancient One: He can control time too. He stopped time around Deuteros and the others just now, saw through the Antarctic monster's time manipulation, and found its true body!
The Ancient One: Also, that black hole of his is definitely not simple!
The Ancient One: That man possesses incredibly advanced time-space manipulation abilities!
Sisyphus: Who is this guy? Could he be part of Hades' army too?
Manigold: There's someone that strong in Hades' army?!
Minos: Who is he? A Specter? I don't think I've ever seen him before.
Pandora: Don't ask me—I don't know either.
Alone: He is indeed a Specter. He's Yaoma of the Heavenly Chief Star.
Thanatos: There's such a powerful being among the Specters? Why has he always stayed in the shadows? He seems even stronger than the three Judges.
Hypnos: And is it just me, or does this man seem... unusual?
Sasha: Is it just me, or does he look a bit like Tenma?
Alone: Of course. After all, he's Tenma's father.
Sasha: What?!
Dōko: What are you saying?! He's Tenma's father?! How is that possible?!
Sisyphus: Wait a minute... if you compare Yaoma and Tenma closely, they really do look alike!
Naruto: Who's Tenma? A Saint too? And why is his dad on the enemy's side?
Asmita: Specters are just random humans chosen by the Demon Stars. Tenma's father was probably selected by a Demon Star by chance.
Naruto: No way... That's so messed up! Father and son fighting on opposing sides?! That's too much!
Alone: Too much? Honestly, I think Yaoma is enjoying himself. He doesn't act like a father at all.
Alone: And you'd better not underestimate this man. Even I can't see through him.
Thanatos: Even Lord Hades can't see through him? Who the hell is this guy?
Sisyphus: Someone who can manipulate time and space... definitely not simple. He's a terrifying enemy.
In Hades Castle, Aspros furrowed his brows as he stared at the screen.
"Who is that man? Why does he seem so familiar... but I just can't remember?"
Aspros rubbed his chin, trying hard to recall.
["Congratulations to Yaoma for a successful containment. Reward: Necronomicon."]
The screen suddenly spoke.
Yaoma had already returned to his personal space.
Upon hearing the screen's announcement, an old, worn-looking sheepskin book appeared in his hand.
The cover bore the Latin title: Necronomicon.
"Necronomicon? Is this really just a book?"
Yaoma studied the book in his hands, his pupils dilating as he stared at it.
"I can feel it... there's a tremendous, malevolent energy inside this book."
[In a certain universe, there exists a group of extremely terrifying evil gods. They embody chaos and disorder, completely different from the deities of conventional myths.]
[The Necronomicon contains detailed records of these evil gods, their followers, their origins, and how to summon them, their minions, and some strange spells.]
[But be warned: the power of the evil gods is extremely dangerous. Contacting or summoning them can lead to disastrous consequences. They may not harbor malice toward humans, or perhaps they simply don't care about humans at all. But because they are so powerful, even their slightest actions can bring about world-ending catastrophes.]
[It's like how a person casually walking could accidentally crush an ant.]
After hearing the screen's explanation, Yaoma grew even more intrigued by the Necronomicon.
"Evil gods from another universe, huh? And this description... it sounds like an unconscious form of malice? Heh... fascinating."
With that, Yaoma eagerly began flipping through the pages.
