CHAPTER 226 — JUDGMENT DESCENDS
For the first time since the battle began, the storm above the city went quiet. Not because the wind had stopped and not because the lightning had faded, but because something heavier had entered the sky.
Six figures descended through the clouds. They did not fall like meteors and they did not glide like wings. They simply appeared lower and lower, as if gravity itself was politely allowing them passage. Each one radiated blinding white light. Not warm. Not holy. Cold. Clinical.
The air across the battlefield thickened instantly.

Long Hao felt it next. Even in his Eclipse Dragon form, the pressure pressed against his chest like invisible mountains lowering themselves around him.
