That familiar voice sliced through the heavy tension like lightning through silence. Instantly, every head turned toward its source — and with it, every heart followed.
"Father!"
"Your Excellency!!"
"Lord!!!"
"Heeeeeeaah...!!!" The entire arena erupted. The crowds in the stands, who had just seconds ago been paralyzed by fear —breathless and afraid they'd be caught in a cataclysmic battle between cosmic forces— now exploded with joy and relief. Their savior had arrived.
They raised their hands to the heavens in reverence and awe.
Their voices thundered like a second storm, roaring with uncontainable emotion.
Even the kings of planets, those beings of immense pride and status, threw away decorum and shouted with the people — loud and unashamed.
"...I should've known you'd make your entrance now," Harros said with a long exhale, letting the purple energy in his hands fade into the ether.
