Priam had never had a clear choice to make between surviving and saving New Earth. Simply, his actions had gradually led him down the way of survival. A path he now had to follow. He briefly questioned himself. Was it selfish to put his own life and his familys before others? Perhaps. But Priam understood this was his personality. He was beginning to accept the consequences.
Should he be ashad? He didn't think he was a monster. A monster would have no qualms about killing people. For Priam, the lives of the do's inhabitants were valuable. Enough to postpone Claire's death. She would live to see her trial and execution.
Now that he had left his father, Priam also realized how difficult it was to reconcile his new life with his old one. He couldn't really see himself beheading a young woman in front of his family.
It might co soday, but Claire wasn't worth shocking his father. In fact, his hatred was devolving into contempt. She was just another enemy in his path, and he was already leaving her behind. We're not playing in the sa league anymore
Of course, she would certainly try to escape or manipulate her loved ones. Priam's instincts told him she was born a century too late to manipulate Mirscella.
As he went down a street, it was also his instinct that made him turn his head. Through the window of a house, Priam saw a father fending off locusts with a quilt. Behind him, a small child trembled.
The window exploded, revealing the shape of a human. Passing in front of the father, Priam stepped in. His Domain deployed like a barrier between the locust and the family of two. Instinctively, Priam triggered [Kinetic Control]. The locusts froze in mid-air. His skill required contact, but Prosse and Domain could circumvent this rule. It was the power of a Supremacy.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Priam burst out laughing. He'd won. He was faster than the locusts, and his Domain made him invincible. He would survive his Tribulations.
"I... Who are you?"
Hearing the father, Priam's laughter stopped. He would survive, but how many would die? His Tribulation had beco the Tribulation of millions.
"My na is Priam. I'm so kind of superhero," he replied, winking at the child. He couldn't have been more than three years old. Priam turned to the father.
"You had the right reflex to keep them at bay with a quilt."
The father took his son in a hug and shook his head. "No, I've already made a mistake. At first, there was only one. It bit ," he pointed to his right index finger. Or rather, the phalanx that remained. Priam swallowed, thinking the man in front of him would certainly live the rest of his life with two phalanges missing.
"I managed to kill it with a shovel while it devoured my finger. Two more bugs appeared."
"They multiply by dying."
"Indeed. I then tried to bury them under cushions. Unfortunately, several more ca down from the chimney flue. I took Thomas with and... You've arrived," finished the father.
"Thank you, sir," added the child.
Priam offered a faint smile of reassurance. "You'll be fine, don't worry. Just give a few seconds."
Clearing his throat, Priam connected to his Lord's powers.
"People of New Earth. The locusts raining down on the city are multiplying as they die. Stay in your hos, avoid all openings and wait for help. The insects will be gone in about twenty hours."
The aether drain was severe, and Priam stopped. Looking at the father and son duo, he waved his hand. "Co, I'll take you to safety."
