Yeah that does make sense but I was wondering about the nature of the Devil itself. Earlier, when it was first introduced, I read someone's comment that believed it to be a remnant of TW, but what with it's dialogue, especially those related to
inextinguishable hate and
plans it seems as if the Devil might actually be the Devil of TW himself. The reason why I feel this way is also because even if the MC had devil breaks before, we have never seen such a *personality* of their devil beside the urge to kill. The MC's 'devil' is more similar to when they use Heavenly Asura during the spear twins fight rather than this thing.
Also regarding the previous posts about Ruo glazing, the thing is I believe that with how the story has grown, the theme of the barren world is kinda messing things up in regards to the writing. The MC and the Lizard Wizard are the strongest people on the planet. Even TR's Dao Child thing or whatever is already insurmountable for 'cultivators' of the POMA world. But it is also true that Ruo is being glazed to the point that it takes a lot of the sense of achievement out of the story. Instead of the feeling of rivalry (which is kinda bare bones tbh with only the entry match, the training scene, and the group beating) it just makes the MC achieving anything inconsequential. A proper solution, imho, would be to have more characters actually acknowledge the MC's devastating powerup and
capacity. Maybe during meetings with Hao Fan, or maybe with random sect incidents. Perhaps things will change after the 3v3 but up until that point, the MC who became a fledling foal at the end of the expo and within 2 years became strong enough to dominate the arena (which we, again, get no acknowledgement for. Disciples or elders giving names to MC depending on their nature: demon or saint, etc., and their win/loss rates would actually make sense) gives no sense of achievement because there is no acknowledgment of it within the poma world or any of its characters.
sorry for the long rant. would apologize but i'll probably rant again
