As the ship neared a certain distance, the AI's voice blared once again.
"Identification confirmation required to proceed further"
A two-second countdown flashed on the screen, ticking down relentlessly.
Without a word, Darren stood and approached a palm-print-like scanner embedded in the console.
Anthony's gaze followed, curiosity piqued.
'Mana signature'
Anthony thought, his mind working quickly.
In this world, it wasn't fingerprints that identified someone, it was their unique mana signature.
Each person's signature was as distinct as their very soul, impossible to replicate.
Even Mana Contracts were bound by these signatures, each one an unbreakable mark of identity.
'A two second countdown?'
Anthony wondered, his mind briefly wandering.
'Would the ship be shot down if he doesn't verify his identity in time?'
Once the identity verification was completed, the ship's engines hummed with increased power, surging forward at an even greater speed.
