"Actually, I should thank you," Zena said, her laughter subsiding into a cold, sharp smile. "You've recreated a moment for me that I previously wasn't a part of—one I could only watch in recordings!"
Her expression shifted instantly from amusement to absolute authority. "But first, let me show you your place. Let's ensure that Inner Demon of yours speaks no more nonsense!"
With a sharp huff, Zena released her full strength. She unleashed the crushing pressure of her true cultivation rank: the Quasi-Genesis Law Realm.
The effect was instantaneous. Thoraz's face twisted in agony as his leisurely walk came to a violent halt. He began to shake uncontrollably under the sheer weight of her presence. "Wh—what is this?!" he gasped, his voice cracking as his legs began to tremble.
The difference in their realms was an insurmountable abyss. Not only was her rank superior, but the quality of Zena's energy was the purest Origin Mana, making her actual power many times greater than Thoraz's.
