[: 3rd POV :]
The Grand Hall remained quiet for several long moments.
No one spoke and no one moved.
The transformation that every member had just undergone was simply too overwhelming to comprehend in such a short amount of time.
Daniel stood before everyone, calmly observing their expressions.
Some were staring at their own hands.
Some were testing the flow of mana within their bodies.
Others simply stood frozen, unable to believe the changes they had experienced.
Eventually...a young knight slowly knelt.
"My King..."
"I... no... Progenitor..."
"I do not know how to thank you."
His voice trembled.
Before Daniel could answer, another person dropped onto one knee.
Then another.
And another.
Within moments...
Thousands of individuals knelt simultaneously.
The synchronized movement echoed throughout the Grand Hall.
"We thank the Progenitor!"
Their voices shook the hall itself.
Daniel looked at them quietly before shaking his head with a faint smile.
