Shannon took in the scene unfolding before her and knew that it was too late to stop anything.
Still, she wanted to see Velquin just one more time.
As she moved her foot forward, an overwhelming force surged from behind.
Shannon and Zidane turned at once, only to see "Fennec" striking again.
A massive seal descended from the sky and crushed toward the ghost gate they were standing at.
Shannon instinctively raised her hand to counter, but she immediately felt as if invisible shackles had locked her limbs. The seal hurtled straight for Zidane and the ghost gate behind him.
Seeing Shannon bound, Zidane moved to intercept, but Mordecai reacted from within the gate. A wisp of green smoke shot out and coiled around Zidane's waist to drag him back into the gate.
Zidane stumbled. Just as he was about to curse, the Alternate Divine Power's seal smashed down with crushing force.
This blow carried the true Might of the Alternate Divine Power.
Mordecai's expression darkened. With a flick of his hand, the ghost gate vanished into the void just before the seal could land.
Along with the gate's disappearance was the same for all the malice that had been converging upon it
Opening a ghost gate in the alternate world was against the rules. As the Alternate Divine Power, "Fennec" had every right to erase anything that entered unauthorized.
Though the ghost gate was just withdrawn, reopening it again was nearly impossible now.
Shannon watched the Alternate Divine Power's reaction and didn't believe it had acted purely out of anger. Instead, it felt more like it wanted to sever the stream of malice heading toward the gate.
Just as the thought surfaced in her mind, "Fennec" turned to her with an ice-cold glare.
The next moment, it raised its hand, and a seal shifting into blades of golden light shot toward her.
Shannon moved to block on instinct, but her mind flashed a scene of countless beams of golden light piercing her chest.
Her mind went black. In that moment, the tenth tail power erupted within her, resonating with the golden light of the Core Vein Stone on her chest.
From her fingertips, a powerful golden seal blasted toward the sky of golden light.
Even if she couldn't block it, they would find out who was stronger.
The two forces of golden light collided and sent waves of spiritual energy surging through the domain. For some reason, Shannon felt like she could barely hold on.
This was the true strength of the Alternate Divine Power.
The tenth tail power wasn't enough. To fight against the Divine Power, she needed an equivalent Might.
As this thought stirred in her mind, the dormant Might of the Divine Power within her domain seemed to respond to the call. Facing the colliding forces of golden light, a golden token appeared in the sky above her domain.
As it appeared, everything in the domain went still.
