Almost the instant that Energy Greatsword finished taking shape, Ethan forcibly opened a system scan.
Pale-blue streams of data spread across his vision, like countless fine beams of light sweeping back and forth over the little boy—Khar'vathis—mapping his body from the surface inward.
The system returned something vanishingly rare: the power structure inside him wasn't a single energy source at all. It was a highly unified composite—so seamless it was almost impossible to find any fault lines.
Within it was not only this world's core Primordial Force…
…but also another kind of power—mysterious, violent, and terrifyingly unstable.
Ethan only needed one glance for a chill to creep up his spine.
He understood perfectly: if that Energy Greatsword truly came down, then forget the frontline in front of them—Emerald Castle's entire army would take a catastrophic hit in an instant.
