’He’s dead.’
Atticus was quite thrilled with the current situation. He had wondered how Anorah planned on handling the traitorous council members.
As gods, it was impossible to directly attack them unless they agreed to it.
’But she baited him.’
Anorah had approached the matter with an unsettling calm. Analyzing Kaino and accurately determining the actions needed to bait him was insane as it was thrilling.
’Logoth helped.’
It was like a new world had opened up to him. In the Logoth state, he no longer wasted time doing the unnecessary, and only performed needed actions.
’I’m glad I learned it.’
Atticus returned his focus to the scene below. Anorah had lured Kaino into the arena of gods, and only moments later, returned unscathed. Without any doubt, Kaino was dead.
’Now for the others.’
The other council members had stumbled back, each one trying desperately to open the portal and escape to their world.
’It won’t work again. How will you handle them?’
This was Anorah’s matter to handle, not his. So he had resolved to take on the position of an observer. Still, except they were each royally stupid, then another rage bait wouldn’t work on them.
Some of the council members realized this and had stopped trembling, even going as far as to calm the others down.
Anorah stared at them with the same emotionless gaze. Then, with the flick of her wrist, the world’s portal suddenly vanished from the midst of the council members and appeared behind her.
"S-Saint! What are you doing?" one of the council members asked.
"Saint, do you plan on keeping us here forever?" Eyes turned towards High Synod Mathias who suddenly spoke. He stared at the Saint with a hardened expression.
"You can’t do anything to us unless we agree to it. In fact, by keeping us here, you’re granting us access to Asterra and its people."
Mathias had always been a calm and logical man. Though he sometimes opposed the Saint during meetings and critiqued her judgments, he was still loyal to the Resistance.
But he had made the wrong call.
’I thought she would die.’
Kaino’s offer had been backed with revelations. He had gathered the council members and informed everyone of everything that was going to occur.
Many, including Mathias, hadn’t seen the Saint surviving that, and due to that conclusion, made the wrong call.
’It’s too late to change,’ Mathias thought grimly. They had to recoup their losses and return to their world.
’She has no choice but to let us go.’
But the next event was one that shocked everyone present, including Atticus.
Anorah had suddenly brought the other portal in the underground cavern here, followed by five others from only she knew where.
Before they could all wonder what was happening, she activated each of them at once, and to their shock, her form multiplied into seven different Anorahs in a burst of light.
