With the pressure from the mountain above him increasing with each second, Daneel could only scream this command at the system before collapsing on the ground.
As he did so, Faxul who had just been staring at him with an expression of rage and fury also fell down after his face became listless.
It had all happened so fast that even Luther who had been standing right beside had had no time to react. One second, the King had raised his hand to take Faxul's in his like he had with all the others before.
The next, he had fallen to the floor, as if he had been struck by some sort of attack.
As for Faxul, that moment of rage had been so sudden and momentary that no one else in the room had even noticed it.
Pain wracked Daneel, making him feel as if that mountain was actually some sort of substance which was trying to absorb him into it by applying pressure from all directions.
The system which had gone silent on hearing Daneel's command spoke again at this moment.
