The storm of Energy stretched across the entire world. Even almost all of the Mortals noticed that something tremendous was happening. Yet, only the stronger Seekers knew what this storm of Energy represented.
Someone was becoming an Immortal.
Someone had actually done it. Someone had actually managed to become an Immortal!
The oldest Seekers felt nervous and relieved at the same time. They had seen a desolate world when they had ascended to Ayuvar, and they had always kept that picture in the back of their minds. What if the cause of this desolation returned? What if the world was destroyed again?
They hoped that it wouldn't happen again.
The Overseer and Kyle waited as Swamp Dragon advanced. The advancement took several minutes, which felt like an eternity to them. It was strange how thousands of years could pass in the blink of an eye while minutes could feel like a thousand years.
Eventually, the storm of Energy vanished, and moments later, Swamp Dragon appeared beside Black and the Overseer, assuming a neutral position.
Swamp Dragon's aura...
It was so... average. It was mundane.
However, that also made sense. He hadn't condensed an Avatar before advancing. Over 99.99% of Immortals condensed Avatars. After all, even if they for some reason believed Avatars to be a detriment, they would still want to advance as a Fulfilled Ascendant instead of as an Advanced Ascendant.
Swamp Dragon was one of the very few who hadn't condensed an Avatar. Additionally, his Laws were not special. He fulfilled the basic requirements for undergoing Fusion, and that was it.
Swamp Dragon was most likely within the bottom 1% of Immortals when it came to power.
Kyle could already see Swamp Dragon's body distorting. Ayuvar had noticed the presence of a human Immortal, and it had asked the Supreme World to pull Swamp Dragon out of Ayuvar.
In a couple of seconds, Swamp Dragon would ascend.
Swamp Dragon glanced at Kyle for a moment before focusing on the Overseer. He wasn't surprised when he saw Sebastian right in front of her.
"It's over," Swamp Dragon transmitted to the Overseer. "There is only one thing you can do to save yourself. Every other path leads to death."
The Overseer's Energy tightened around Sebastian and Melanie, but Swamp Dragon didn't seem perturbed.
"I do not value their lives highly," Swamp Dragon transmitted. "You have two seconds. If you don't do the right thing, I will kill you."
Frustration and rage rampaged through the Overseer's existence. Yes, soft power had an effect on Kyle, but it didn't have an effect on Swamp Dragon. Swamp Dragon had sacrificed his companions and even the world to get rid of her. There was no way he wouldn't sacrifice these two.
The Overseer's frustration reached its peak. She wanted to find a way out! She just wanted to get out of this world! She only wanted freedom and a future!
And then, all of her frustration vanished, replaced by acceptance.
Yes, it was over.
The world around them underwent a subtle change. It was like the world's Laws and Energies had changed the way they moved. Instead of supporting the Overseer, they were now supporting Swamp Dragon.
Calling her the Overseer was no longer accurate at this point. After all, she had just handed her position to Swamp Dragon.
Now, she was just a beast that wanted to be human.
Swamp Dragon's body stopped distorting as the world accepted him as its new Overseer.
They had done it. The Overseer was no longer the Overseer.
Yet, Kyle knew that she was still very dangerous. If she recovered her Energy, she could still kill them. Of course, the Overseer knew that as well, and she also knew that Kyle wouldn't allow her to recover Energy.
Even at this very moment, Kyle could still kill Swamp Dragon and the Overseer, but it would still mean that Sebastian and Melanie would die with them.
Everyone waited and remained silent. They didn't know what Swamp Dragon was planning, but they had a couple of guesses.
"We need to wait for five minutes," Swamp Dragon said.
