After the three Divine Authorities were successfully bestowed, the atmosphere in the Command Center briefly shifted from tense resolve to a strange mix of excitement and anticipation.
Season Star traced a finger through the air. Countless tiny runes swirled around her, a visible sign that the Hunting Authority was merging deeply with her Mechanical Divine Fire.
Yada Yada closed his eyes and felt the primal pulse of the Jungle within him. His aura kept rising, as though it were connecting him to the earth beneath the Magic City Stronghold.
Within Alesha's Lightless Domain, a trace of cool Moonlight Radiance flickered in and out of sight, lending her mysterious presence an even more elusive, deadly edge.
Qin Chuan watched in silence, his thoughts racing.
Severing and bestowing Divine Authorities was only the first step.
His true goal was to use them as the foundation for a new Shadow God System on Blue Star, a world the Gods regarded as their hunting ground.
This Pantheon would answer to no ancient being. Rooted in Blue Star and drawing its power from him, it would gather the faith and strength of this world's inhabitants until it grew into a force capable of standing against any power in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
That was his ambition.
"You're really willing to spare no expense, kid." The phantom Dies Martin had formed from pure Deception Divine Power wavered again. His tone held its usual mockery, along with a hint of scrutiny. "But against those mad dogs of the God of Light System, this little bit of power won't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. They'll be here soon, burning to purify everything. You'd better be ready."
Dies Martin's words doused the brief sense of relief that had risen in the Command Center.
