"What have you done..." Her voice was a re whisper, laden with disbelief and sorrow.
The sight of Shinta's lifeless body left the Ouroboros Queen trembling with rage. Her face contorted with grief and fury, she stared at the pale, cold skin of her granddaughter, barely able to process the words the viceroy had spoken.
Her emotions surged, and her aura intensified. The very air in the grand chamber vibrated with her wrath, and a palpable tension gripped everyone present.
"You… are going to pay for this!!" The Ouroboros Queen's aura surged, the icy chill perating the air as she prepared to unleash her fury. She took a step forward, ready to exact her revenge, when a figure appeared in her path—a mysterious masked grand magus, radiating the formidable power of three cosmos realms.
All the grand magus in the chamber rose to their feet, their eyes fixed on the Queen, awaiting her command. The tension was palpable, the air thick with the anticipation of a battle that could tear the conclave apart.
The Viceroy's voice cut through the tension "Queen Silviana, are you rebelling against your patriarch?" The grand chamber fell into an uneasy silence. So grand magus were visibly enraged, ready to lash out; But so hesitated, recognizing the gravity of the situation. Even the wolf grand magus, their fury barely contained, held back.
Breaking the silence, King Severus the Wise stepped forward. His voice was calm, almost soothing, as he addressed the assembly. "Let us not be rash… With all of us gathered here, think of the destruction we would bring upon this city."
His words hung in the air, a plea for sanity amidst the chaos. All eyes turned to the Ouroboros Queen, waiting for her decision. In that charged mont, a sudden spatial distortion rippled through the room. Gasps and exclamations erupted as a portal materialized. "A spatial gate!" soone shouted, and out stepped Ery, his presence commanding imdiate attention.
He was flanked by Annara and the two Ouroboros grand magus. The figure of Grand Magus Kodiak, bleeding and missing an arm, was held firmly as a hostage. Ery's appearance sent a shockwave through the assembly.
Ery's eyes swept across the room, taking in the many grand magus faces now focused intently on him. His gaze finally settled on the wooden coffin near him. The atmosphere was thick with tension.
One of the Faulen grand magus, incensed by the sight of the heavily wounded Grand Magus Kodiak, moved to intervene. However, a single, intimidating look from the Ouroboros Queen halted him in his tracks.
Ery walked purposefully to the center of the room, step by step, his heart pounding as he approached the wooden coffin. The room was silent, every grand magus watching.
He finally reached the coffin and gazed inside, there she was.
The sight of her nearly broke him. Behind the disheveled silvery hair and the unnaturally pale skin, her face was unmistakable. It was Shinta.
His mind struggled to process the scene before him. Denial surged through him. "No..." he whispered, his voice barely audible. This couldn't be the way to be reunited with his daughter. His heart felt as though it were being torn apart, a crushing pain that he could scarcely endure.
Annara, who had followed behind Ery, threw herself onto the cold corpse, crying out in anguish. Her sobs echoed through the silent chamber, amplifying the weight of the mont.
Ery's body trembled as a rage began to build within him, threatening to consu him entirely. His fists clenched, and it felt as if his very being was ready to explode from the sheer intensity of his emotions.
Suddenly, a voice cut through the chaos in his mind.
