Avalon and Magnus locked eyes. Their fists clenched tightly.
They knew Oberon was right.
But were they really supposed to just watch?
The other paragons stood frozen, fists clenched. The Aegis Shield was seconds from collapse. Even with Eletantron and Jezenet gone… without Atticus, they were doomed.
In the Ravenstein control room, Anastasia had her hands clutched over her mouth. Her heart, which had stopped once, now beat like a drum.
The air inside the room was heavy, the silence deafening.
Across the human domain, no one spoke. No one moved.
All eyes remained on the screen.
While many were worried for Atticus, deeper down, they were far more terrified about what would come next.
Death. Carnage. Extinction.
And then, suddenly, the gazes of everyone watching sharpened.
Their Apex, who had remained still and silent all this time, had just moved.
Their eyes locked onto him, focused, tense.
What was he about to do?
