Omikami, whose fiery nature had always burned fiercely, now found herself in the presence of a force that surpassed her own.
The flames of her defiance flickered and faltered, as if doused by an invisible hand.
It was a sensation that struck deep within the core of her existence, a visceral recognition of her own helplessness in the face of a mysterious sense of suppression.
In that moment, the taut dimensional energy emanating from Omikami and Azure dissipated, their bodies compelled to return to their seats by the sheer force of Chronos's imperious aura.
The shock registered on the faces of Sophia, Athena, and even Omikami herself.
It was the first time they had witnessed the full extent of Chronos's commanding power.
The silence that followed was deafening, Chronos's imperious aura lingered in the air, an intangible suppression on an existential level.
