Its strength lay in its ability to devour all things, its invincible bloody mouth, and its powerful defense, regeneration, and other attributes that focused on the body.
In the past, during the first Dawn War, the World Devourer had devoured countless prime material planes as snacks in the face of the immature prime material plane. Many gods had died in its mouth.
As the World Devourer was able to devour all energy, and a single bite would be fatal, it had become a rather troublesome Aragami.
Under such circumstances, not many gods were willing to fight the World Devourer in close combat.
After all, fighting the World Devourer in close combat was like dancing on the edge of a blade. If one was swallowed by the World Devourer in one bite, even if they were in peak condition before, they would die in the World Devourer's mouth without a burial ground.
The God of Light was also unwilling to fight the Devourer of the World in close combat.
