A flag appeared at the center of the auction stage, enclosed in a transparent glass case so that everyone could see it.
Even though it was just a flag, the moment it showed up, the entire audience fell silent, and many began to breathe heavily.
It was a simple black flag with white lines—there was nothing special about its appearance. But that didn't apply to its aura.
Just by being near it, everyone felt like the world itself might collapse at any moment. It felt like even space and time were afraid of it.
The flag radiated pure terror. Every cell in their bodies reacted with dread, as if even existing in its presence was unbearable.
It gave everyone the horrifying impression that it could devour the sky, the earth, and everything in between.
"This is the Myriad Devourer" Mr. Crow's voice echoed across the room. "We obtained it by chance. You don't need to know its history."
"All you need to know is that this flag is a quasi-divine weapon."
Everyone held their breath.
