"That's a demigod's will, specifically targeting any entity at Legendary level or higher."
Orion's voice resonated in Lumi's mind. He had kept his will projected alongside her as a precaution.
"This world is strange," he continued. "The demigod's will is spread across the entire plane. It feels… desperate, like a final act of defiance."
Orion didn't know the history of this Godforsaken Land, but he recognized the signs. A demigod blanketing an entire world with their consciousness was an insane waste of divine power. There was only one reason for such a reckless act: the demigod was dying.
"Go on down," Orion instructed. "Bring Soraya and the others through. Once we conquer this place, we'll figure out what the hell happened here."
"Understood."
Lumi dissolved into a flurry of wind and snow, drifting down toward a secluded valley below.
As she descended, snowflakes began to fall from a clear sky. The birds and beasts in the valley panicked, fleeing as if from a wildfire.
