Michael's face was impassive as the ground beneath started to tremble and the whole square was moved to silence. As soon as the massive amount of Ascendant Power had been gathered, he knew it was Nikolai. It could be no-one else, only Michael himself could hold that much power.
He strains... Michael thought idly. Interesting. So much for the strongest of all...
"Shit...."
Rykovi muttered under his breath.
"Incredible..."
Samuel seemed more afraid than anything.
Foolish.
The sight was impressive enough, Michael could never work the earth in the way Nikolai did, but that much use would leave him weakened and vulnerable.
Any one of the great powers could strike him down. The Sigma, the one next to him.
He could do it himself, if he tried. It was a tempting thought.
"Be on your guard,"
Michael spoke calmly. Petrovic's eyes bulged at that. He could never understand why Michael remained impassive.
He doesn't understand the ice-coated rage burning. The torment of the Atharim murderers. What else could he be but ice?
"The Ascendancy has shown the world a miracle. You know the price of working that hard."
Half of them seemed like they didn't believe the Ascendancy could be weakened. How could a God be weak? "If anyone tries anything, I order you; Protect the Ascendancy at all costs."
Michael prepared nets of warding to intercept anything that might be thrown at Nikolai, may his name be cursed until the day he died.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
