supported him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder held him up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like the sky was where he belonged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His name is Caelion,\" Thalorien said. \"A friend of

power, little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the entire Thalaryn tribe was boiling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers echoed through the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way they looked at Ethan wasn’t just respect anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even—worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he’d just done...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had saved their civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, without warning, the air went tight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion had landed in front of Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only nine feet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close enough that Ethan could see the blue gemstone hanging at Caelion’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside it, lightning rotated slowly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like a miniature storm core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion lifted a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No warning at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder spread in an instant, forming a sealed energy domain that wrapped around Ethan completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body reacted on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power started cycling inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Caelion didn’t attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just stared at Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes were cold and focused—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like he wasfeelingsomething.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The power inside you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Part of it comes from the Infernal Abyss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea seemed to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Thalaryn around them fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Thalorien’s face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion went on, \"That’s power that isn’t allowed to exist here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice stayed calm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the lightning was starting to destabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No threatening tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No room for

asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is your idea of ’gentle’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalorien’s mouth opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No words came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion didn’t make judgments lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once he did—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn’t change them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan looked back at Caelion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took one step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just—resetting the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly fused power inside him began to spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air vibrated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A compressed sphere of energy formed slowly in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning gathered around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalorien’s heart dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both forces erupted at the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan shot toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion rose to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They collided midair—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>energy and thunder slamming together head-on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave blasted outward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seawater was shoved back by brute force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far-off buildings began to shake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t get to decide whether I stay or go!\" Ethan’s voice rang through the energy storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only lifted his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More lightning poured out of the gemstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>truly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infernal Primordial Power and thunder crashed into each other like rabid tides. Every impact made the entire Thalaryn world shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clansmen retreated in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was no longer a battle they could participate in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a war belonging to higher-tier existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their civilization—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was caught on the edge of it, teetering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you—STOP!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Thalorien’s voice carried real authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot up into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His robe snapped and whipped inside the energy storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands came together fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A snow-white bead of energy condensed in his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it radiated an unnervingly stable light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only absolute order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw it straight between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ring-shaped shockwave expanded outward instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder and Infernal Primordial Power were forced apart at the same time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like two beasts locked in a death-bite, ripped away from each other by something higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan was driven back dozens of feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning around Caelion stuttered in brief disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sea-region went quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalorien hovered between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression had never been this severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn’t loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it carried an unmistakable will that didn’t allow disobedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our enemy is Nexaris.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, the Thalaryn bowed their heads as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nexaris and their mechanoid legions are closing in, day by day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you two—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—are here destroying each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t put his power away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just kept it within a controllable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t start it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked onto Caelion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He tried to drive me out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air tightened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion didn’t deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning gathered in his palm once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its color changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not blue anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t ordinary thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a higher-tier form of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the Thalaryn wore expressions of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s pupils tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen power like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Emerald Castle, when Queen Seraphine unleashed light-aspected thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of force—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>belonged only to the true top-tier beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can use thunder like that too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of shock passed through Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, a thought surfaced on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this man stood on Emerald Castle’s side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their overall strength would jump enormously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thought died just as quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan already understood it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelion wasn’t the kind of existence that would submit to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the atmosphere changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not from an energy blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pressure that felt older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd in the distance parted automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they were making room for something higher to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s attention snapped over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And saw the figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A being with a dragon’s head and a man’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His frame was old—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but his

battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t release any power—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet the entire space fell quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning around Caelion weakened on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power inside Ethan slowed as well, instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the natural effect
