Zeus moved with purpose toward the source of the strange energy, his senses sharper than ever thanks to his recent ascent to the four-star level. Every step he took was deliberate, as he pushed through the eerie stillness that surrounded him.
As he advanced, he noticed the ground was littered with the motionless bodies of Lightning Fang Guild members. Their forms were eerily still, mirroring the fate of Zarek and his minions. A sense of unease crept over him, growing stronger with every step he took.
Finally, Zeus arrived at the epicenter of the disturbance—a massive golden stone, pulsating with an otherworldly glow.
The stone was partially embedded in the earth, its surface shimmering with a blinding brilliance that sent ripples of thunder mana through the air. The sheer power emanating from it was palpable, unlike anything Zeus had ever encountered, aside from the system's influence.
