The situation came to a natural end there.
While Damien was swept away by his allies for a myriad of conversations, the aftereffects of the passing storm showed themselves in various parts of the universe.
Firstly, Damien's reputation didn't suffer as much damage as Immortal Blood Asura wished.
Within minutes of the ordeal's end, Damien's information was revealed and spread across the universe at impossible speeds.
The feats he'd accomplished before fighting the Saint King or appearing at the Grand Assembly were now clear to all. The fact that he'd been fighting on the frontlines without any desire for recognition swayed the hearts of many.
When combined with the fact that Damien gave the universe a victory this time, it was hard to view him as someone who would betray his people.
Therefore, the words Damien spoke during his trial were granted credibility.
