Silence… Pressure… Tension.
Everyone was quiet — excited, yet undeniably afraid. Especially as they stared at the massive dome of energy protecting everyone in the Federation.
Earlier, during the battle with the other royal siblings, no one had ever doubted its power or the strength of General Drezan. But now... they did.
Even Drezan's face twisted in disbelief.
He had always known Darius was a monster — he'd heard the tales but dismissed most as rumors. Yet now, standing so close and feeling that terrifying aura firsthand, Drezan was convinced. And the fact that Caius hadn't even revealed his true strength yet was mind-blowing.
"I hold it… it holds," General Drezan muttered under his breath as he poured more power into maintaining the barrier.
At the center of the platform… two beings stood.
Two stories converged.
One — a monster from birth, a legend, the goal of every young being in the Federation.
