Tony Clark slowly raised his hand while standing before Elsa of the Demonic Sea Tribe.
Hundreds of disciples were staring at the confrontation unfolding before them.
The Sea Tribe Princess stared back coldly while her followers surrounded her. The atmosphere grew increasingly dangerous.
Elsa's eyes narrowed as she observed the killing intent hidden behind Tony's smile. Unlike before, she could clearly tell this wasn't another joke. He was genuinely considering eliminating her from the World Tree Blessing altogether.
Just as Tony's hand began descending, the entire white world trembled violently. Golden light exploded throughout the trial grounds. The World Tree Spirit appeared between them.
Several participants secretly sighed in relief. Others looked thankful. Elsa herself remained expressionless, though internally she felt her nerves relax slightly.
