The six Sovereigns acted in perfect synchronization.
Chronalis manipulated time around Jaenor, creating temporal distortions that made his movements sluggish while everything else moved normally. Aethormor locked down space, creating invisible walls that prevented teleportation or spatial displacement. Vorathys established death-energy boundaries that would sever any connections he tried to make with external power sources.
The three others, wounded females who'd been healed, established additional layers. One created gravitational anchors that increased his weight exponentially. Another manifested binding light tried to wrap around his limbs.
Jaenor felt the restrictions closing in, felt his freedom of movement being systematically eliminated. His chaos nature rebelled against the imposed order, but six Sovereigns working in coordination created pressure that even he struggled against.
"Phase one complete," Kailthrys announced.
"He's contained. Suyajna, begin phase two."
