The Ruler!

Ding!—

{Ruler's Authority Is Now Active!}

Swoosh—

!?

As the brilliant light burst forth from Ares and filled the room, the crowd of nobles, officials, and reporters gasped in awe at the sight before them. The dazzling radiance illuminated every corner of the grand hall, and whispers of astonishment and reverence spread like wildfire.

"C-Could this be...?" one noble whispered.

"H-He truly is the chosen one," remarked another.

The High Chancellor himself was taken aback by the display, realizing that something extraordinary had just occurred. Ares, still seated upon the throne, was enveloped in the luminous aura, his expression calm yet unmistakably powerful.

The light soared upward, penetrating the ceiling of the grand hall, and as if guided by an unseen force, it continued to rise, piercing through the layers of the palace walls, until it finally reached the skies above the kingdom of Escratia.
