The Star of the Observer’s venomous mockery was like mental barbs, each word attempting to pierce Ron’s psychological defenses.
"You fools who come into contact with the ’Devourer’ all think you’re special.
In the end? Every single one of you becomes a puppet controlled by that guy!"
This sarcasm was not without its aim.
The Star of the Observer is using verbal attacks to test whether deep down he harbors self-doubt.
"So that’s how it is..."
While dodging the fusion monster’s attacks, Ron gradually realized:
"This is not just a test of strength, but a profound scrutiny of my inner will."
The Star of the Observer wants to confirm through this method whether he possesses enough strength and rationality to master this Crown Level Meditation Technique.
"In that case, I will prove it to you."
His gaze became extraordinarily calm, pushing the effect of "Hermit’s Knowledge" to the limit.
Time in his perception slowed down, every detail magnified infinitely.
The first thing that caught his eye was Davod’s deformed brain exposed outside.
The blood vessels on the brain’s surface squirmed like worms, and every time a sound wave vibration was about to be released, the nerve endings produced regular electrical pulses.
Just like his earlier insight at the start of the battle.
The tentacles of the Thorn Sea Monster grew on the brain tissue, and those sharp barbs constantly stimulated the nerve endings.
"If not for this weakness, I might have crashed long ago..."
At the moment of activating "Hermit’s Knowledge," Ron’s thinking speed was pushed to the limit.
The entire Consciousness Space became transparent and clear in his eyes, every detail magnified infinitely and analyzed deeply.
The seemingly perfect combination of forces on the fusion monster began to reveal its true form under such extraordinary observation.
"Davod’s sound wave vibration fluctuates between 800-1200 maum..."
Ron dodged the monster’s attacks while conducting precise data analysis in his mind:
"While the Thorn Sea Monster’s spirit erosion ravings mainly range within the 400-600 maum. There’s an evident frequency interference between the two."
When the fusion monster prepares to launch these two attacks simultaneously, the energy pooling at its chest creates a brief standing wave effect.
This phenomenon causes a millisecond delay in the attack timing.
Negligible to ordinary people, but significant enough for someone with transcendent reactions like him.
"As expected..."
He continued observing the energy flows in other parts of the monster:
"The Holy Disc’s abyssal corrosion is essentially an entropy increase effect, while the Time Hound’s space-time manipulation requires extremely precise spatial positioning."
The random interference generated by the corrosion mist causes slight deviations in the calculation of space-time angles.
Though this deviation is only a few arc seconds, it’s enough to make previously unavoidable angle deflections become traceable.
The most crucial discovery remains the overlapping effect of multiple regeneration abilities.
"Three different sources of regeneration mechanisms operating on the same carrier..."
Ron’s gaze locked onto certain specific parts of the monster’s body:
"The Thorn Sea Monster’s flesh reconstruction relies on accelerated cell division, the Holy Disc’s splitting regeneration depends on the direct conversion of Abyssal Power, while the Time Hound’s reset is a temporal state reversal..."
These three mechanisms operate on entirely different principles, and when they simultaneously act on the same piece of flesh, competition and conflict are bound to arise.
Indeed, near the monster’s left scapula, Ron saw evident signs of excessive proliferation.
The flesh there was swelling and shrinking like a tumor, obviously caused by the clash of multiple regeneration commands.
"Furthermore, the chaos in the mental structure..."
Through the deep insights of "Eye of Time," he could even perceive the state of the monster’s consciousness core:
"Four completely different consciousness templates were forcibly crammed into a single mental container, like four people trying to control the same body simultaneously..."
The most direct manifestation of this conflict is the monster occasionally experiencing temporary "stutters."
Its movements would suddenly pause, attack trajectories shift nonsensically, and even short self-attacks occur.
It was at this moment that the fusion monster launched another full attack.
Dozens of thorny tentacles writhed like mad serpents, sound wave vibrations tore through the air, abyssal fog permeated everywhere.
But Ron had already grasped the pattern entirely.
He accurately anticipated the timing of the attack.
At the moment when sound waves and spirit erosion resonated into interference, his figure ghosted through the tentacle enclosure.
"What?"
The Star of the Observer’s voice contained an unexpected tone for the first time:
"How did you..."
"Observation, analysis, understanding, application."
Ron’s voice remained calm, yet carried a hint of newfound confidence:
"Isn’t that the power of wisdom?"
He drew the energy bowstring, with his fingertip beginning to gather light elements.
This time, the Light Arrow was different from before, infused with the active traits of the "Radiation Field."
Like a meteor, the arrow of light pierced the sky, constantly adjusting its trajectory during flight.
Even if the fusion monster used sound wave vibrations to interfere, the Light Arrow could autonomously correct and re-lock its target.
"Whoosh—"
The first arrow grazed past the monster’s right shoulder, leaving a slight burn mark on its skin.
The damage was minor, but enough for Ron to confirm the effectiveness of the attack.
Indeed, just as analyzed, whenever the monster prepares to attack, an energy flow inside will experience a brief chaos.
This chaos only lasts for a fraction of a second, but for Ron with "Hermit’s Knowledge," it’s plenty to capture.
