685 FAFO 1


    Everyone in the room immediately felt a surge of pressure ripple through the air, making the atmosphere heavy. The sudden change took everyone by surprise, even the two perpetrators behind the current situation, as the pressure was more than expected.


    Before anyone could react, two shields materialized around Oak and Mangrove, confining them along with anything nearby within the oval barriers. In an instant, the interiors of the shields combusted into flames, incinerating everything inside within seconds before the fire stopped and the shield diactivated.

    As the shields deactivated, fine ashes fell to the ground where Oak and Mangrove''s humanoid forms had once been.


    “..........”


    “.........”


    “.........”


    The room plunged into a deeper silence as everyone tried to comprehend what had just occurred. Even Rina, his wife, was stunned, her mind racing to process the rapid and dramatic turn of events. The swift and decisive nature of Aron''s actions left everyone in a state of shock, their brains struggling to catch up with the reality of what had just transpired.


    Not even five seconds had passed between Aron’s words, “I hope you don’t regret this,” and the two tree folks'' bodies being enveloped by a shield, then instantly incinerated and reduced to fine ashes where they had been.


    The remaining three tree folks were astonished, not because they didn’t notice it happening, but because it occurred so rapidly that their perception lagged by a few seconds. Even after they perceived it, they couldn''t comprehend the mana disturbances aimed at the two, as it was something entirely new to them.

    The ships that were amidst their attack immediately came to a halt. The sensors pinged the presence of the Emperor, automatically stopping the ships from continuing their assault to avoid harming him or anyone else still inside the cocoon in case a shot went through the opening he had created.


    The opening he had pried immediately began to heal, just as it had when they previously attacked with small-yield weapons. They had been cautious not to use anything too powerful, to avoid harming those inside they were trying to save.


    “The fuck,” a soldier involuntarily muttered. Although it was impossible to believe what he was seeing, his visor was directly highlighting the floating man, zooming in on him with a golden name hovering above him, clearly labeling him as the emperor.


    The surprise was shared by everyone except a few Aegis members monitoring from space. It was the first time the emperor did something that undeniably proved he was an awakener as everything in the past only hinted at it based on his reaction to the situations he found himself in.


    This revelation wasn’t just witnessed by those present but also by more than five billion people from both Proxima and Earth who were now watching through the live stream.


    As for the emperor, he hovered for a moment, receiving an update on the situation. He couldn''t receive this information while in the palace because Nova had deduced that his discussion at that time was more critical than the current report.
