(A Few Days Later, Five Great Clans Council, Virtual Conclave)
A silent expanse of darkness stretched endlessly in every direction as six thrones slowly materialized within the virtual space, each positioned so their occupants faced one another directly while the vast emptiness around them remained undisturbed and oppressive in its stillness.
One by one, the projections of the universe's most powerful beings appeared.
Mu Shen arrived first, stern and rigid, followed by a visibly frustrated Du Trask.
Ru Vassa materialized next, her cold gaze shadowed by the scar Mauriss had left behind.
Lu Han appeared calm and observant, while Yu Kiro watched the gathering in thoughtful silence.
Finally, Kaelith's throne illuminated, his composed presence immediately steadying the tense atmosphere.
For several long seconds none of them spoke, as the six thrones faced one another in silence while each god measured the others carefully before Mu Shen finally broke the stillness.
