The other two looked at him.
"Doesn't he have a daughter?" Selvaria asked, understanding dawning in her eyes.
"Yes," Verathos confirmed. "Aria Vance. Currently a first-year student at the Epochal Ascendance Academy. Prodigious talent—achieved perfect scores in the entrance trials, something that hasn't been done in fifty million years."
"We use her against him," Azmodeus said, catching on to the plan. "Kidnap her. Use her as leverage to force Elias to stand down."
"I don't really want to fight someone with an aura like that," Selvaria admitted. "I've lived for billions of epochs across countless incarnations. I'd like to continue living."
"Same here," Azmodeus agreed. "Direct confrontation with Elias Vance is... inadvisable. But if we have his daughter, he'll be forced to negotiate rather than attack."
