"Leave the bracers," Alex told the Artifact God. "Let him handle them and use them. For now, prepare the scale."
Shen Yaojia nodded quickly and took off both her bracers, handing the Three-Star God Reducing Bracer to Ray. The other bracer she kept aside as she knelt down to dust away anything on the scale before it was time to start.
Alex quickly explained to Ray what it was that he was planning, to which the bird gave a single nod in understanding. Since their conversation had taken place through their bond, the God had no way of telling that something had even been conveyed.
"Please move further back. I shall begin now."
Shen Yaojia nodded and stepped away from the scale, letting the bird do what it needed to do.
