An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

The golden light appeared just in time to block Zeus’ attack and save Grace from having her core destroyed.

As the light faded, a handsome young man appeared before everyone. He had white hair and wore tattered clothes. But despite his rough appearance, he exuded an otherworldly presence that set him apart from the rest.

He stood still in front of Grace, solid as a mountain.

“Dustin?”

The moment she saw the white-haired man, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew then that she was safe and so was everyone inside the ancient temple.

Aside from his stark white hair, he looked nearly the same. But now, he carried a mysterious, otherworldly energy that she had never felt before. At that moment, she knew he had broken through.

“Thanks for holding on.”

Dustin turned and gently tapped Grace’s shoulder. A beam of golden light shot from his hand and flowed straight into her body.

She shuddered as warmth surged through her, soothing every inch of her body.

The previously blocked circulatory pathways and accumulated internal injuries began to heal at an astonishing speed. Within seconds, she felt energized.

Her injuries were healed, and her energy burned brighter than ever.

This technique went beyond what any mortal could do.

“I’ll take it from here.” Dustin smiled and fixed his gaze on Zeus and Hera.

At that moment, the two royal gods seemed to sense danger. Standing next to each other, they were silently alert.
