Looking up at Atlas' giant glowing figure, the expressions on some people changed.
Some in the crowd lost their will to fight.
Perhaps this was for the better...
At least... Having Atlas on their side felt safe...
Some in the crowd looked up at Atlas in awe and reverence.
Can't fight... Can't win...
Others were still struggling to stand up. They weren't interested in joining the void. They weren't ready to give up yet. Not without a fight.
"I know some of you saw me as your enemies. Some of you were nuisances to me." Atlas scanned through the crowd.
For an instance, Atlas' gaze paused on Liam, Magni, and that swordsman in blue battlesuit.
"However, I forgive you. Today will be a fresh start."
"After you join the void, we will be one family."
"After you join the void, I will never need to doubt your loyalty again."
"After you join the void, we will create unprecedented glory together!"
