Around Hayes, representatives from the major powers who had come to participate in the Battle for Dominance found themselves gathered in one place, utterly subdued.
Daniel had brought them all here effortlessly, and not one of them had the strength to resist.
It was a chilling realization: their lives now rested entirely in Daniel's hands.
In front of Daniel sat five items, each belonging to one of the five superpowers.
These objects were rule derivatives, remnants of gods and devils that had long since perished. Each contained a trace of the power of rule, though their strength varied significantly.
The derivative from Dragonscale Bank was by far the most potent, which perhaps explained why Imora had appeared so far ahead of her peers during the competition.
Without Nora unexpectedly becoming Karea Academy's champion, Imora would likely have claimed victory.
