The voice thundered from the heavens, rolling down from the obsidian surface of the mirror. As Orion looked up, a spectral projection materialized within the glass.
"A Divine Soul."
"He has formed his Divine Soul."
The exclamations came simultaneously from Orion and Edward.
Orion, a warrior whose raw power flirted with the boundaries of the sixth physical stage, instantly recognized the signature. The entity behind the mirror wasn't just a brute; he was a Third-Stage Demigod who had solidified his spirit into a Divine Soul.
Edward, a Second-Stage Demigod who had ignited his Divine Fire and was currently striving to reach that very same level of spiritual cohesion, recognized it just as quickly.
Following the shock came a collective exhale of relief. Their expressions settled.
As long as it wasn't a true God wielding a Demigod Artifact, they had a fighting chance. Or at least, that was the calculation Orion and Edward made.
"A Third-Stage Demigod?"
