"Indeed, it's only possible if you consider it in reverse," Fang Hong nodded. "In fact, I have never ruled out the possibility that Toragotos is just a puppet of Salrutaka. Assuming its brothers and sisters have all failed to escape the erosion of the Dark Force, it may not necessarily be the luckiest one."
"But this possibility is small, given the various signs that Toragotos possesses its own free will, and it clearly covets the power sealed below," Hilveld replied softly, "Do you remember the Phantom Realm it showed us, Captain?"
"Within the Phantom Realm, we were essentially seeing through its eyes. We are only now coming to understand the fear and desire it harbors for that power. Assuming it were truly a puppet of Salrutaka, it should not be capable of generating such complex emotions."
