The powerful figures present exchanged wary glances, each one reading shock and confusion in the eyes of the others.
"We only just arrived," one of them muttered. "We've no idea what actually happened here!"
"I don't know the details either, but one thing is certain—the Manhattan Legion has been utterly destroyed."
"I can confirm that," another said grimly. "On my way here, I saw corpses everywhere. Entire streets littered with the dead."
"I recognized one of them," a third voice added. "A shareholder. An Expert Rank, level nine. I knew him well."
The weight of his words silenced the others.
"Judging from what we've seen," he continued, "the Manhattan Legion wasn't simply defeated. They were annihilated by a force of unimaginable power."
A hush fell across the gathering.
"Terrifying…" whispered someone else. "If a power capable of wiping out the Manhattan Legion so easily truly exists, then what sort of monster are we dealing with?"
