Atlas activated the massive magic formation. A shimmering portal that would transport everyone back to Gacha Haven. He stood before it, his gaze fixed on Lei Shen's remaining troops, now all free agents.
"Anyone who wishes to join my forces and pledge their loyalty to me may step through this portal," he said, watching their faces closely as they hesitated, clearly weighing their choices.
"But if you do not intend to join," he continued, "I give you two minutes to leave this place as fast as you can. After that, I will no longer guarantee your safety."
Atlas's offer could mean two very different things. If they chose to flee, they would risk Lei Shen's wrath. He might easily send whatever forces he had left to hunt them down. Lei Shen would never forgive betrayal, nor would he allow those who had turned against him to walk away freely.
