Rod focused all of his attention, trying to firmly grasp that faint trace of Inspiration.
No, no, this won't do, I can't rush, I need to think carefully—why did this suddenly happen?
Is it because I defeated the Fusion Monster made from the three Ancient Gods? But they fell long ago; although they were True Gods at the end of the Ancient Epoch, in reality they were only Demigods. The monster they fused into was powerful, but not stronger than ones I've faced before.
Could it be the Exceedingly Evil Man?
I'm drawing close to the traces left behind by the Exceedingly Evil Man. Maybe, based on these traces, I can find the hidden truth of how the Black Fog was born, and it's precisely because of this that the Black Fog has gone this mad?
It's possible.
