Seeing the chaos unfold, Thea, Lesia, Yegor, and Herodias were visibly shaken.

They moved instinctively, ready to intervene—

“He’s attacking the gods of the Haleth Realm!” Thea shouted, her voice tight with urgency. “They can’t withstand the energy of the Ten Thousand Daos!”

“It’s too dangerous,” Herodias added, turning to James. “If we don’t act now, the losses will be catastrophic.”

“Dad, let me go,” Jacopo said quickly. “If I can kill him once, I can do it again—twice, even three times.”

Despite the rising tension, James remained unmoved.
