The infant giggled…a sound that was objectively adorable yet carried undertones that made the nine warriors tense!
Its mother smiled with the exhausted joy of successful childbirth, seemingly unconcerned that her baby possessed power that could shatter continents.
The leader of the nine roared with the urgency of someone who had seen what happened when they weren't fast enough: "Get ready!"
BOOM!
The baby looked around with eyes that contained swirling nebulae, took its first step and…it was not a crawl.
It was a step through space itself!
Cracks spread across the reinforced floor as the infant shot toward a wall with the speed of a cosmic projectile.
One of the Cosmic Realm entities materialized instantly, a golden shield of pure Helios Authority manifesting to contain the baby's trajectory. The infant bounced off, completely uninjured, laughing with the pure joy of play.
