Pantheon's voice returned, calmer now. (The moment that barrier drops, things might change again. Get ready to act, but don't jump the gun.)
'Understood.'
Asher lowered his hands, allowing his golden energy to settle. The veins of light on his skin dimmed, but he didn't fully release Overload. Not yet.
The last thing he needed was to get caught off guard.
More people arrived—enforcers, Starfront agents, and other groups. Some flew in; others came by hovering cars.
Emergencies lifted the usual no-fly zone.
However, no one dared to get too close after realizing Aranis was present.
(Here it comes,)
The foggy barrier collapsed, and Aranis turned toward Asher.
"I get the gist of what's going on. Both of you—settle this and end the bloodshed now."
Asher's eyes narrowed. "So I'm free to take my client and leave?"
Aranis nodded. "Yes. Take him and head to Starfront Headquarters. I'll speak with your Guild Leader myself."
