The Titan Ape leader stared at the Void Realm exit ahead, hesitation flickering in its eyes.
It could feel it—stepping through would mean a completely different world.
Its kind had lived in this forest for generation after generation. Asking it to walk into a place it knew nothing about… it couldn't help feeling uneasy. It was a raw, instinctive fear of the unknown.
Sophia seemed to read that hesitation. She hurried to reassure it.
"Don't worry," she said, gesturing at herself as she spoke. "Over there, it's nothing but creatures like me—called humans. If you go there, you'll absolutely be the strongest!"
She kept pointing to herself, trying to make it idiot-proof.
The Titan Ape leader's eyes lit up.
A lot of you… human females?
Wouldn't that mean it could switch to a different one every day—try all kinds of "new tricks"? And maybe even rebuild the Titan Ape race and make it flourish again?
The thought pushed it over the edge.
The Titan Ape leader clenched its jaw.
