The situation in Redclay City was much more plicated than in Ironcreek. The military and other forces were not enough to simultaneously stop the panic and chaos that engulfed the city and protect it from one after another attacking waves of beasts.
Seeing the plexity of what was happening, Idan decided to seize power in the city by force. They didn't have time to solve the problem peacefully and convince everyone to follow their instructions. The anomaly was gaining strength and speed by the second.
Arslan and Nayla's group was sent to support the defense of the city from the constant attacks of the beasts.
While Idan himself, his sister Irene and Hazel, along with their group, began to pacify the residents of the city.
Irene didn't like using her power on ordinary people, but this time she had to fully unleash the abilities of her System. She usually only used her power with her gaze, and only when in direct contact with the target's eye.
However, her strength was not limited by these restrictions.
To subdue the weak, such as ordinary mortals, she didn't even need to look at them. It was enough for them to be in the range of her Soul Force, and they were pletely at her mercy.
Only cultivators could resist and not succumb to her power in this way.
Irene, standing on the roof of one of the tallest buildings in the city, unleashed her Soul Force, which, like a huge wave, crashed into the city like an invisible tsunami, flooding everything around and covering a huge area.
Her System's specialty was related to soul cultivation, and bined with the Path of the Beast Tamer, which also enhances the Soul Force, the power of her System Abilities increased many times.
Everyone who came within the range of her Soul Force, regardless of what they were doing, froze and stopped their actions.
Those who panicked calmed down, those who engaged in looting abandoned their intentions, and even those who, despite the difficult situation, indulged in intimate pleasures, froze in the midst, losing all interest and ardor.
Idan, who was watching his sister's incredible ability, felt goosebumps run down his spine.
He knew that his older sister's system involved mind manipulation. Idan himself had witnessed how Irene took control of the minds of mortals, erased their memories, and could even read the memories of enemies.
However, Idan also understood that his sister didn't like using her power.
Irene was not a person with big ambitions or delusions of grandeur. She wasn't interested in power and managing people. All she wanted was to do good and protect her family.
Now that Idan felt the power of his sister's Soul Force, he realized how high her potential was.
Knowing that his sister usually acts secretive and dislikes publicity, he began to suspect that the seventh-ranked Hero of the Federation might not fully reflect her true strength and that she was deliberately hiding it.
After all, Soul Force cultivation is a very rare field.
Even in Junonia, there were no plete manuals for developing Soul Force.
Idan was very glad that such incredible power did not belong to their enemy, but to one of the people closest to him.
"Now I can imagine how my sister and Arslan were able to survive the encounter with the Dark System," Idan whispered, realizing this truth.
Previously, it was difficult for him to understand how his sister and Arslan were able to escape from the Dark System by meeting Darkia or someone related to him.
"The main power of the Dark System is aimed at capturing the mind and consciousness of the System Host. Considering that the specialty of the Sister's System is related to strengthening her Soul Force and will, perhaps the Dark System was unable to gain the upper hand over her consciousness," Idan suggested.
"But until my sister tells me exactly what happened then, it's just a guess," he added to himself and then moved on to the city center to get on with his business.
On the other side of town, Hazel, hovering above him, spread her four massive brown wings behind her back. By manipulating the element of sand, she demonstrated the might of the Sand Valkyrie, suppressing all those who wreaked havoc and instilling fear in their hearts.
The members of her group followed her, gazing at their leader with admiration. The Guild members gathered all the instigators of the riots in one place so that Irene could deal with them as soon as she finished her business.
Although Hazel also had her own Doppelganger who could copy Irene, the Doppelgangers had one major drawback. They could not copy the System abilities of the Awakened, except for the abilities of their masters, with whom they had signed a contract. Therefore, Hazel's Doppelganger couldn't gain the power to manipulate people's minds.
Idan appeared above the largest square of Redclay City in his Alpha of Fire form.
"This place is just right," he thought, and his fiery red hair shone, as if accepting the light of the element of Light. The flames of his massive flaming wings turned into particles of light, illuminating the entire area and surrounding areas like a bright sun.
Instead of the Alpha of Fire, an Alpha of Light appeared over the square of the night city of Redclay.
In this form, Idan looked like an angel who had descended from heaven into the mortal world.
Everyone who was illuminated by the Light element felt an incredible sense of warmth and tranquility.
All their anxiety and panic disappeared, and everyone reverently raised their gazes to the bright divine being.
Many believers began to sincerely believe that God had heard their prayers and had e down to them in this difficult hour.
"Residents of Redclay City," Idan said, and his voice, amplified by the power of his soul and the element of light, sounded soft, like that of a real divine being, if he really existed.
"Disaster is ing," he announced. "And this city is doomed."
The residents, who had already felt that salvation had e, and began to calm down, panicked again.
"But don't panic, because I'm here," Idan said hopefully.
"And I will save you," he reassured everyone, assuming the role of messiah and savior.
