They heard his voice and the energy from the the planet rose upwards in an inverted breeze. Zaofan trembled to behold it. Curiously, they seemed to fly past his form and into the surrounding sky, and the illumination cut through the clouds filled the surrounding storm.
Strange. All he had to do was to ask for it, and in desperation it was offered, and stoking the hopes of those who lived on this world, a heaviness filled him.
Like thousands of dying blossoms.
But when Sarada added
God Ki into the merger, he was all of a sudden filled with a feeling of euphoric dread, as if he'd been tossed off a cliff and could not right himself.
He'd gathered
Genki before, and through the memories of Banespell had an impression of what
Heka was supposed to feel like, but this...he'd had it once before when he and Ochazuke journeyed through
Illargi.
A god...thinks they can control something like this, to change the nature of the world on a whim as they demand it.
Suddenly the chef found himself on a precipice more delicate than the deck of the ship he stood upon. On the bridge of the Gotengo, Ochazuke observed the shift in the energies and the planet itself.
"
The first instance of a miracle is enough to convince many to prostrate themselves...but to play with hope is a dangerous thing." He spoke directly into his martial brother's ear. "
Auroc discovered this the last time we were here, Zao. Proceed to the next step of the plan."
Pooling his efforts behind Zaofan, he synchronized their efforts.
Until Held and Etrina could make their move, they had their work cut out for them.
He held it now upon his hand. The catalyst for change. But this would not be enough if the knights of Reshlan were not sufficiently motivated.
"
The will to act can only be realized by the hope to see it come true. Do it Zaofan."
And when She opened the hellish portals to the demon realm, Zaofan looked to the mocking hand before him, and his voice only seemed to grow.
"Terrorizing the whole planet wasn't enough for you? Well two can play it that way!"
He snapped his fingers, and around the planet, through
Void Tunnels ships of the exact same design of the Gotengo emerged, each bristling with the
same kind of energy, each nigh indistinguishable from the last. Coordinated with the surveillance satellites, Ochazuke's eye in the sky, they appeared in select spots of Reshlan to maximize the eyes of Threshlings upon them to bolster their resolve.
Rounding out with this one, it was a fleet of
exactly two dozen.
"What, did you think we came alone? Who do you think we are?"
"
Now we shall see, does she carry the storm? Or does she manifest from a single point?"
