The Jade Titan appeared as a towering stone colossus, but it was merely its physical shell. According to Cassie, its consciousness spread across the entire city, allowing it to control all of the Tainted Saints, who fought as "a disciplined army" instead of a frenzied horde. She also revealed that something else was controlling the Titan. Sunny discovered a gargantuan tendril of elemental darkness extending from its back, making the Titan resemble "a stone flower blooming at the end of a long, black stem," with the tendril stretching over a dozen kilometers into the great chasm.^[7]

After being liberated from the tendril of abyssal darkness, the Jade Titan remained intact apart from damage to its armor. Its [Living Stone] enchantment rapidly repaired the cracks, while darkness cooled its fading radiance. Although it appeared as an armored stone colossus with darkness boiling within its visor and an overwhelming aura of dread, it was only the vessel of the Great Titan's soul—its avatar. The Jade Titan was embodied by every fallen Stone Saint in the city, so destroying each Tainted Saint weakened it, as every slain Saint caused a part of the Titan to die. It was also described as the core of the Great Titan's power.^[8]

This Creature of Darkness is capable of controlling a Great Titan (Jade Titan) like a puppet. Initially, Sunny estimated that it possessed power at least comparable to a high-Class Cursed Nightmare Creature, or possibly something even more powerful. The discovery reminded Sunny of the Creature of Darkness previously encountered in the Underworld, which had used the corpses of fallen Stone Saints as shells (Refer to Chapter 3058). He considered the possibility that it was the same being, with tendrils extending throughout the entire Underworld for thousands of kilometers, and believed it had been observing them throughout their journey.^[10]

The abyssal horror could create powerful dark copies of its enemies, turning their own abilities against them.^[11]

In Chapter 3095, it was revealed to be the same entity encountered by Nephis during her Second Nightmare. According to Nephis, this overwhelming abomination was responsible for destroying the settlement she had painstakingly built and forcing her to her knees in defeat, making it one of the most devastating foes she has ever faced.

In Chapter 3100, the abyssal horror's true power was revealed only after Sunny and Nephis opened a Dream Gate linking the Underworld to Godgrave, whose clash of divine light and true darkness provoked the creature into revealing its Unholy nature and unleashing countless colossal tendrils that effortlessly destroyed the Gate.

In Chapter 3110, another Unholy Nightmare Creature is revealed beneath the Abyss. Unlike the abyssal horror fought by Sunny and Nephis, this entity was the far more terrifying prisoner that the horror had been restraining. Despite remaining bound, its mere gaze and presence were enough to bypass Sunny's mental defenses, corrupt one of his Shadow Cores, and destroy one of his incarnations with a single attack.

The Unholy Nightmare Creature appeared as a colossal, weathered skeleton of a humanoid with broken, flawlessly white bones, subtly unnatural proportions, and a skull bearing three empty eye sockets. Though its flesh had long since vanished, it was not dead; instead, an immense universe of Corruption nested within its skeleton, animating it with an unholy semblance of life. Hidden in the depths of the Abyss and bound by the dark tendrils of the abyssal horror, its mere presence distorted reality, while its gaze radiated overwhelming Corruption capable of breaching even a Supreme's mental defenses.^[13]
