"You Go."
Without question, at this very moment, every living being between heaven and earth had only one focus.
That was the Hero standing in the void, at the very center of all the world's strongest warriors.
He was merely floating there ordinarily, yet not a single person dared to look away from him.
Or rather, everyone had forgotten that they should look away, that they should be focusing on the enemies on the battlefield.
Even Danas's gaze did not leave Shien for even a moment.
Of course, this newborn Demonoid was not drawn in by Shien's extraordinary presence. Rather, as though he wished to see through Shien at this very moment, his gaze was filled with sharpness.
"Danas."
The Queen Consort stood beside Danas and spoke in a low, wary voice.
"I know." Danas instinctively raised a hand to wipe his forehead, only to discover that cold sweat had already formed there. "This man has undergone an astonishing change none of us anticipated."
That much was certain.
The current Shien could absolutely no longer be the Shien from before.
Though the previous Shien had made Danas and the others wary, he had not made them instinctively break out in cold sweat as they did now.
"I fear he has successfully taken that step." Danas wiped away his cold sweat and spoke as though resigned. "I had intended to end everything before he took it, but were we still one step too late?"
The Queen Consort's expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Has he really transcended?"
She did not dare to be certain, nor did she dare to believe it.
She could not be certain because although Shien radiated an astonishing sense of presence, he did not leak even the slightest trace of aura, making it impossible to judge his current realm.
