Lucien made the announcement later that day through Lootwell's official public channel.
Across the five continents, communication devices lit up almost at once.
[LOOTWELL OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT]
[Lootwell has prepared a new artifact for the Thousand Races.]
[Its purpose is not merely to increase individual strength. We hope it will help people understand authorities beyond their own and create stronger bonds between companions, factions, and races.]
A video followed.
Seran stood inside one of Lootwell's testing chambers with the dark metal bracelet around his wrist.
Seran raised one hand.
Reflection unfolded around him.
A second authority emerged from the bracelet at the same moment.
The two Laws entered the same manifestation.
The reflected images around Seran became heavier, more stable, and capable of carrying force that ordinary reflections could not preserve.
The scene lasted only a few breaths.
That was enough.
A second message appeared beneath it.
