Chapter 130: The Monster You Created (2)
Thutmose stepped into the room.
The thick air of authority weighed down on him the moment the door sealed shut behind him. The chamber, vast and still, echoed faintly with the hum of power that pulsed from its walls.
At the far end stood the earth-forged throne, carved from a single mountain stone, veins of mana glowing softly across its surface like lifeblood. It was a relic of command—of legacy—and now, it belonged to him.
But Thutmose’s heart beat faster for another reason.
Above the throne hovered three transparent screens, large and shimmering, projected midair. It was linked to the global network used only for high-level communications—ones that only the highest of powers had access to. And right now, they display three figures.
Each one held the weight of the world.
On the left, a regal woman with shimmering blue hair and frost-laced eyes sat composed yet commanding. Her beauty was ageless, but her reputation was far from gentle.
Livia Salacia, Matriarch of the Water Clan—the Ice Queen.
On the right, a man clad in sea-green robes adorned with feathered accents, his pale blonde hair shifting in a gentle wind that wasn’t there. His eyes were like twin gales—calm on the surface, deadly beneath.
Cassius Aeolus, Patriarch of the Wind Clan—the Wind Knight.
And in the center, flame-kissed crimson robes danced subtly with embers, as if the fire within him never truly slept. His eyes glowed amber, and the lazy smile on his face was anything but warm.
