Echo's eyes swept over the room, his gaze meeting each of the Judges one by one.
None of them could hold it for more than a second.
They were rulers.
They were the strongest.
But in this moment
They felt like prey.
And Echo?
He was the hunter.
The Crimson-Eyed Woman's Reaction
Then
Laughter.
It was soft at first.
Then it grew.
All eyes turned toward the crimson-eyed woman.
Unlike the others, she wasn't afraid.
She was smiling.
"Ah… I see now," she murmured, standing up from her seat.
Her fingers traced the air, sparks of power dancing at her fingertips.
"This isn't normal power. This isn't even evolution."
She licked her lips, excitement flashing in her gaze.
"This… is something entirely new."
She took a step forward.
"You, Echo… You fascinate me."
The other Judges flinched.
"Veyna, don't—" the old man in golden robes started.
But she ignored him.
She took another step forward, her aura rising like a tidal wave.
Her power wasn't just Celestial Energy.
