Watching everything unfold from far above the world were two invisible divine beings.
Neither of them could be seen by the people gathered inside the hidden temple.
Yet they were there.
High above the clouds, far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals, Eris had created a large screen of light that displayed everything happening inside the cave.
Riley stood beside her, silently watching the scene.
Hundreds of people were kneeling before the enormous statue.
Their voices had merged into a single prayer, repeatedly calling out to the Great Anomaly.
Riley stared at the screen for a while before letting out a quiet sigh.
"Can you feel it, Riley?"
Eris glanced toward him.
"Their prayers?"
Riley remained silent for a moment.
He tried to concentrate.
He could hear their voices through the screen.
He could see their movements.
He could even feel the strange divine energy gathering around the temple.
But the thing Eris was talking about…
Their faith.
Their belief in him.
