Caspar Valley,
Although Ricardo's distraction was only for a moment, Lis, who had been keeping a watchful eye on him, naturally noticed this.
Why did Ricardo react to the Abyss Power?
Could he have been controlled by Demon Prince Demogorgon?
Lis hesitated for a bit, but quickly dismissed this speculation.
There were many methods to control others, but Ricardo was a powerful individual who had mastered the forces of the Extraordinary Domain; both his soul and spirit had been sublimated again, and controlling such a person would be quite difficult.
Even for Demon Prince Demogorgon, it would be exceedingly challenging to force control over Ricardo by penetrating the protection of Gaia World.
If he had truly succeeded in controlling Ricardo, Ricardo couldn't possibly appear so normal.
The strong corrosiveness of Abyss Power would cause significant changes in both personality and appearance of anyone forcefully controlled by it.
