In the next instant, both of them moved.
Space folded without warning, and they appeared directly in front of me, close enough that I could feel the pressure of their presence push against my skin.
I sensed their strength clearly and understood at once that they too were Upper Transcendents, their presence was on the same level as Upita.
One of them spoke first, his voice calm and oddly curious.
"So it's true. There really is an Executor. A new one."
The other Eternal tilted his head slightly, his black, glass-like eyes scanning me again.
"Yes," he said slowly. "But I cannot sense Upita."
The first Eternal's lips curved faintly, not quite a smile.
"Did you kill him?"
I nodded.
"Then he must have underestimated you," he replied.
The second nodded once.
"But we won't."
They spread their hands at the same time.
"Domain," they said together, their voices overlapping perfectly.
"Three Gates of Survival."
The void detonated.
