Sunny stared at the tiny, snarling demon god trapped in the SSS-Grade cage, his mind reeling.
The creature's words had started as the rantings of a defeated foe, but they had quickly spiraled into something far more unsettling.
"You seem surprised," Edgar said casually, leaning back against the bars of his cage like a bored king on a throne. "But you don't even know the crux of the story yet."
He paused for effect, his crooked red smile stretching wide. "So, where was I? Ah, yes… The Royal Family. We call ourselves The Nihilum Clan. We are Primordials. Older than time. Older than space. Older than the very concept of 'law' itself."
"Older than the Law of Time?" Sunny scoffed, though a seed of doubt had already been planted. "How can that be? Adam told me that the Void Beasts came later. They weren't even there when he was born."
"That's the fascinating part," Edgar laughed, a sound like an earthquake. "But a creature living inside the aquarium rarely understands the glass."
