It was not just him. Even Zalario and the other two standing behind Feldway fell silent after hearing such an absurd account.
Seeing the four Primordial Seven Angels fall silent, Rudra thoughtfully gave them time to process it.
After all, the whole incident was indeed outrageous—or rather, completely unexpected.

The ominous feeling in his heart grew
