Chapter 1183: Their Goal Is Not Us...

As Perseus faced the demon within the core of the None Zone, outside on the ship, Tomato sensed the shift in the air. Her eyes narrowed as she scanned the dark void around them. Something was wrong. Then she saw them—shadowy figures slipping in and out of the swirling chaos, circling the ship like vultures waiting for the kill.
