Before anyone could react to the voice, a hand suddenly erged from Orion's stomach. It was completely gray, unlike the usual skin color.
"Woo!"
Rosaline gasped in surprise and took a few steps back when she saw it.
"What the hell is that?!" Even rlin seed shocked by what he was witnessing.
Only Kane stared intently at the gray hand that had co out of Orion's stomach before a look of understanding dawned on him.
Forget the others—Orion himself was shocked to the core when he saw sothing erging from his body. But when he recognized the gray hand, a terrifying realization struck him.
"No! How is this possible? How is he here?"
However, before he could grasp what was happening, another hand shot out from his stomach.
"Is there a small pocket dinsion inside his space?" Rosaline exclaid when she saw the second hand.
rlin, equally perplexed, recalled the dinsion Kane had ntioned to Orion earlier. "I heard that Orion moved his family to a separate dinsion to hide them, so maybe the dinsion is sealed in his stomach."
Rosaline shook her head and pointed at Orion's face. "Look at his expression. He's just as anxious and confused as we are, so whatever is coming out of him, he must know nothing about it."
rlin nodded in agreent.
As they talked, Orion was desperately trying to move his hands to push whatever was coming out back to wherever it ca from, but being tied up with a rope made all his efforts futile.
'What should I do?'
Orion felt a surge of anxiety. He was powerless to stop what was happening and could only watch as the figure continued to erge from his body.
'Damn it!'
He cursed silently.
Soon, a head popped out of his stomach and turned to face him directly.
"How's it going, buddy?"
A chill ran down Orion's spine as he saw the head of the Gray Orion. Though he had anticipated this, seeing it with his own eyes still left him shaken.
Rosaline and rlin were more shocked to see Orion's face erging from his own body, but before they could react, Gray Orion fully erged and laughed as he took in the world around him.
"Hahahahahaha. I've finally succeeded. I've finally reached the real world."
Orion was speechless, unable to comprehend how this was even possible. How did this figure co out of his body? Wasn't it supposed to only exist in that gray world?
Countless questions raced through his mind, but there was no one to answer them.
"Seeing you like this makes sick," Gray Orion mocked when he saw Orion tied up by Rosaline.
"How did you get here? How?" Orion asked, his voice trembling slightly. "Aren't the clones unable to leave that place? Then how?"
Gray Orion shrugged with a sinister grin. "I found it mysterious too. The last thing I rember is sothing happening to you. I felt like I died, but in the next mont, I was inside your body."
He added, "I could have co out earlier at any ti, but I didn't. I feared you might have a way to stop from fully erging. And if you managed to stop once, you'd definitely seek help from Father and Sister to seal away forever. So, I bided my ti, waiting for the right opportunity."
Looking at Rosaline, rlin, and Kane, he smiled. "And they gave that chance. By trapping you here like this and making you unable to move, they paved the way for ."
"Who are you?" Rosaline asked, still bewildered. She could see he had Orion's face but couldn't understand why he was gray and had erged from him.
"?" Gray Orion laughed. "Haha. I am an improved, more powerful version of this guy here."
Rosaline frowned. She still couldn't grasp why he looked like Orion or why he was completely gray.
"Allow to enlighten you."
Kane, who had been silent since Rosaline's arrival, stepped forward.
"This is what I believe to be Orion's clone from the Null Void. Sohow, it managed to co into this world from inside Orion, and I'm very curious to know how."
"Clone from the Null Void?" Rosaline was shocked. She understood the Null Void and its chanisms well, so she found it hard to believe that his clone could co to this world when other clones could only take form temporarily when their curses were activated—and even then, they lacked sentience, unlike the one before them.
"How did it co out here? And how does it have its own thoughts?" Rosaline asked, curiosity burning in her eyes.
Kane shrugged. "That's the mystery. In fact, this kid Orion is surrounded by too many mysteries, so of which have even caught my attention. Once, I saw him fighting an Apocalypse-level monster; another ti, I heard about his clone wreaking havoc in the Null Void, killing thousands. And his never-ending abilities are hard to forget."
He added, "And now his clone has erged from the Null Void. I wonder what else we'll witness today. I'm very interested to see where this is going."
Rosaline felt a headache coming on as she thought about Orion. So many problems had arisen just because of him, and now his clone had sohow arrived in this world from the Null Void.
She sighed and turned her attention to Gray Orion.
"Anyway, you're coming with him to the Celestial Court."
"Are you kidding ?" Gray Orion laughed. "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
He added, "You can trap him, but that doesn't an you can trap too. I've already told you—I'm much stronger than this guy here, so don't think about trapping or taking anywhere."
He then pointed at Orion and continued, "And he won't be going anywhere since I'm here."
"Are you going to stop us?" Rosaline asked with a smile. She could see that the clone's strength was similar to that of the original, making it impossible for him to prevent them from taking Orion, even if he was a rare genius.
At most, he could turn intangible and escape. But she only had one rope, and it could be used on only one person or thing at a ti.
Gray Orion smirked when he saw Rosaline's doubt.
"If I wanted to escape, with or without him, nobody here could stop —no one. But that's not my intention."
