High Sequence, even merely Sequence Four, could already be treated as honored guests, whether in the secular sense or within the Extraordinary world.
Moreover, those capable of becoming High Sequence individuals were often of distinguished status themselves, and few life-or-death dangers threatened them in their daily lives.
Yet at this very moment, as they realized that their lives were as fragile as reeds, immense terror gripped every heart.
Fear arose not only when facing the unknown, but also when one's sense of security was shattered.
Hospitals, schools, beneath one's bed—when abnormalities appeared in places that people subconsciously believed should be safe, places where danger should not exist, they instead brought even greater terror.
No one believed that this unfamiliar Sequence Zero, Delasion, had produced chairs out of genuine consideration for them, or that he was as courteous as his words suggested.
If he had truly been thinking of them, Delasion would not have waited until now to make these chairs. They had spent the previous several days standing the entire time.
Therefore, this was undoubtedly meant to intimidate them, just like that thunderclap earlier.
"With conditions so limited, I fear my hospitality has been inadequate. Are you refusing to sit because you find these chairs too crude?"
Upon hearing Delasion's words, the Extraordinary beings hurriedly sat down, terrified that if they moved too slowly, a bolt of lightning would strike them—

With the strength of a Sequence Zero, even if he used a core ability that did not belong to his own pathway, they did not believe it would be weak.
