The throne room of the Kentari Royal Palace was silent, save for the crackle of the residual crimson runic circle burning into the polished silver floor.
Prince Pine cowered on his massive, glowing blue crystal throne. He clutched his scepter, his knuckles white, staring down at Lucifer, Elara, and Lyra.
The twenty massive Xenophage Broodlords stood in a protective crescent around the dais, their biological cannons humming with highly corrosive green bio-plasma.
Pine had just smashed the Blood Pact crystal.
The air pressure inside the grand chamber spiked violently. The temperature skyrocketed. It felt like standing directly over an active volcanic vent.
From the center of the burning crimson rune, a colossal figure emerged.
[System Warning: Divine Avatar Manifested!]
[Entity: Avatar of the God of Fury]
[Level: 85 - Lesser Deity]
[Status: Enraged.]
The Avatar was twenty feet tall, forged entirely of dark, heavy bronze armor that glowed red-hot from the inside.
