Ethan snapped his head up.
High above, a figure in heavy armor hovered in the sky, radiating a twisted, domineering energy.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding natural energy surged toward him like it had found its true master—rushing in from every direction, flooding into his body.
Hummm.
Hummmm.
HUMMMMM.
The resonance built layer by layer, each pulse heavier than the last.
Within seconds, a massive energy sphere condensed in the man's palm, crackling with raw, unstable power.
He glanced around, a smirk tugging at his lips—openly mocking.
"Didn't expect the energy here to be this rich."
He let out a low, dismissive chuckle.
"This must be that so-called Phoenix Imperium, huh?"
"Pretty damn remote. Can't believe I wasted my time coming all the way out here."
He raised his hand.
"Well then…"
"Let's start with a little lesson."
Without hesitation, he hurled the energy sphere downward.
The moment it left his hand, the air turned suffocating.
