Helena took her hand back as she said, moving her hand in the general direction of the seven other people of the group, and introduced them one by one, making a short introduction of each.
For the first ti Adam paid so attention to them, but he was quickly bored. All seven of them were rather young n, and they were all the sons of dukes or other high ranking mbers of the Empire.
This didn't bother Adam, but seeing how they were even unable to hide their desire for the princess, and displeasure when he shook hands with her, they were obviously degenerates with no self control who couldn't get a hold on their emotions and thought the world owed them sothing.
So midway through her presentation, he simply looked away. This was considered a rude gesture, as he not only ignored them, but also ignored the princess, but he didn't care. This bored him, those people had made a terrible first impression, so he wasn't going to be tender with them.
Helena was stunned, before she stopped talking, understanding what the gesture ant, and looked like she wanted to say sothing, but in the end she didn't say anything and just wryly smiled.
She couldn't say she understood what was going inside his head, from the stories she heard about the man, he wasn't soone with a lot of tact, he did piss off the entire Dragon race after all.
Her upbringing as a princess, the education she received since she was a child all told her that this kind of person was barbaric and worthless, and that had been her first thoughts about this Aqua Sovereign.
A dumb guy, an astonishingly powerful one, but still a dumb one who didn't understand the ways of the world. But the mont she saw him in person, she understood she was wrong. It wasn't that he didn't understand how the world worked and how one should behave in society.
He simply treated the rest of the world below himself. He didn't even look at others in contempt, so he didn't bla others for their weakness. It was just like he believed himself to be so powerful that others had no pull over him.
It was definitely a strange feeling, and was probably sowhat inaccurate, but that was the first impression Adam had made on Helena. Might. Power. Na it however you want, he was simply so powerful he probably felt detached from the world.
The group from Coldlands remained awkwardly silent for a few minutes, until a voice bood in the whole square, putting a stop to all the chatting and putting others out of their social misery.
"Since you are here, you obviously know what you should know. All of you are to enter Providence at the sa ti, and for that a massive spatial array has been painted below your feet. In ten seconds, you all will be teleported away. Good luck, and try not to die."
The words were short but full of importance. Adam nodded to Helena, Victoria and Dorian as he opened a Space Rift behind him, leading him back to his guild. Two ters above them, to be precise.
It was best to use this skill in the air because anyone caught where the rift was opening would be split in two. And if they were powerful enough to resist the space cut, it would be the one who opened the portal who could be in danger if they entered the portal.
His n made place for him as he flew down and his portal closed behind him. Adam eyed his Division Leader, and saw determination in their eyes. This would be the first occasion for their guild to show their strength, and they couldn't fail.
Ten seconds quickly passed by, and everyone felt the sensation of the surrounding space warping around themselves.
The teleportation this ti took longer than usual though, about two seconds. But those two seconds were enough to throw off a lot of people. Mainly those who never had any experience.
Teleportation not only warped space, but the body itself, and it was highly uncomfortable. But most of the ti it was near instantaneous, so people wouldn't feel that bad.
But they had just crossed to another dinsion through a large scale teleportation array that teleported millions of people. Thinking of this, that was an astonishing weapon to have in a war
But the point was, in front of space warping, unless one was at least Hero Rank in strength, then all would be equal in front of it, and so among the countless people teleported, it wasn't those who were the strongest who didn't puke their last al, but those capable of controlling their organs.
So most of the highest leveled people here, who were young masters and mistresses who only gained XP and never experiencing the world were the one to puke, while their 'lowly' subordinates who lived a harsher live were able to contain themselves.
Looking over his n, Adam was satisfied to see that not a single one of them lost their countenance. That was to be expected though, they all danced with death a few tis already, and that was much more gut wrenching than space warp.
Adam sent a nod to his guild, and as he was about to order them to move out, he felt a disturbance in the sky. Actually, everyone felt it, and were familiar with it because it was the type of space turbulence created from creating a portal.
Portals through space couldn't really be seen, they could be felt, but space had no color, all one could see was so light distortion, and even that would need a good vision.
Everyone couldn't help but be curious, was one of the Heroes of this realm coming here to probe things out? If he really was, then he definitely would be in trouble.
But after a mont, Adam, who was the most proficient in the space concept, had his face turned awry. As a man exited the first portal, several others appeared around it, and they quickly multiplied, until they beca hundreds
Ten seconds later, as all the challengers from Epoch looked up, all they could see were mighty Heroes bloating um the sky, and their killing intent. But most importantly, was that they weren't humanoids. They were demons of all kinds.
Everyone was terrified, and confused. Weren't there supposed to only be a few Heroes? Weak ones at that? Why were there literally hundreds of them now? And with multiple of them at the peak of the rank!
As they began panicking and wanted to start running, one of the demons, who had red skin, was three ters tall, and whom Adam found to be strangely similar to Arda, the demon whom he fought to save Victoria at the start of the 'ga', said with a cold voice "Kill them."
As he said that, all the demonic Heroes began flying down, and prepared their attacks. So among the crowd tried to run, others wanted to resist, but before anyone could really do anything, sothing not so unexpected happened.
All significant powers had been invited here, and among those were powers who worshipped demons. And so, in a corner of the big group of people, were the mbers of the demonic faction.
They, instead of being surprised an being panicked, had sinister smiles on their faces as they began to launch their own attacks at the people near them.
Quickly, everyone understood this Providence dinsion had all been but a trap since the beginning set by the demonic faction, to kill the talents of the godly faction or maybe take them hostage.
Adam frowned at the attacks above him, and he declared with a killing intent filled voice to his guild mates "All of you retreat."
Then, he slashed out with his sword at the sky. A yellow sword slash exited from his sword, heading toward one of the Heroes. The Hero clearly didn't think much of the attack, and tried to parry it. The mont he did, the sword slash suddenly split in nurous lightning bolts that spread among the different demonic heroes, not only dealing damage, but stunning them all.
