Emperor's Presence

Evidently, Zhen Liu wasn't the only one that found their skin crawling as soon as they heard the voice on the other side of the door, albeit, it wasn't just over the tone of voice being used.

"The hell is this aether pressure? It's like being stared down by an apex aether beast!"

"Once again, I'm reminded that there is always a bigger fish..."

"This power...it belongs to an Aether Emperor!"

"Father's comment about them being able to outlive the rest of us suddenly makes a lot more sense..."

To say the power they were facing at this point in time was intimidating would be a disservice to the power itself.

One can learn to not be intimidated by something or someone through time and exposure, training as well, but this particular power felt...inevitable.
