"Yunowa!"
Jenera's voice rang out as she called to one of the Dimensari elders.
"Surely you see the madness in this! It's obvious who the true enemy is! Why are you still trying to fight!?"
Jenera's voice reverberated throughout the domain, but all she got in return was a surge of their auras, followed by a wave of killing intent.
Jenera's expression darkened.
Then Oberon advanced close to her and said,
"That won't work. Nothing will. Look at the top of their heads."
Jenera's gaze sharpened as she listened.
She turned to the heads of their enemies and saw a small blooming golden flower jutting out from each one.
Oberon continued,
"I believe they're being controlled."
Jenera's expression darkened further.
'Shit,' she thought.
The situation was bad. Very bad.
While Jenera truly had no problem fighting them, right now, Eldoralth's situation couldn't be worse.
The Zorvans were close to breaking through their lines.
And to fight this war, the Dimensari, Vampyros, and Dragon races had pulled most of their warriors from the military suddenly.
It was completely against the clauses in the alliance mana contract that their leaders had signed, but somehow, they had bypassed it.
This sudden retreat had left Eldoralth even more vulnerable than before. And it was only a matter of time before the Zorvans broke through.
Because of this…
Jenera was hesitant.
Right now, the people gathered on the enemy's side were the strongest of their race.
And they truly couldn't afford to lose their powerhouses now.
"Here."
Jenera's eyes narrowed at what Oberon had just handed her.
A small circular disk.
"What is this?" she asked.
"Just channel your mana into it," Oberon replied. "Trust me."
Jenera hesitated for a moment… then did as instructed, channeling her mana.
Boom!
The circular disk lit up in a blinding glow before it shot toward her chest, lodging itself in.
Then, it exploded in an intense crimson light that engulfed and collapsed around her.
Instantly, the aura of dominance she felt from above lessened, drastically, to an unimaginable degree.
In fact, now, she could barely feel it.
Jenera's gaze trembled. This was…
'Will!'
There was no way she wouldn't recognize it. And not just any will…
'The Human Apex's will.'
It was Atticus's will. In full force. She turned to Oberon, eyes filled with questions.
But Oberon only smiled.
"It was one of his preparations before the Aegis Shield went down. He wanted to make sure we human paragons could still stand against the other races. So, he created these."
He paused briefly.
"It's a device that stores his will and lets us use it in battle."
Jenera's eyes widened even more. She was beyond shocked.
To think Atticus had planned this far ahead…
A shudder ran through her body.
She had just realized… the extent of the monster Atticus truly was.
Her gaze shifted toward Zenon, who had just received his circular disk from Oberon.
He met her eyes… and smiled.
A simple gesture.
One that clearly meant: I told you so.
As Oberon quickly began handing out more of the disks, even to the Nullite paragons, Jenera and many others turned their attention forward only to see two figures already walking toward the enemy paragons.
Their gazes sharpened.
