"But the immediate concern is how to deal with the possessor of this Eden power, isn't it? Now that a human has acquired this force, could this be a new beginning?"
"Everyone stop arguing! Your Honor, what do you plan to do?"
The Judge fell silent for a long time, silently calculating some possibilities. After a while, it shook its head.
[Now that the tribunal's encirclement has failed, no other creature but myself can kill him.]
Everyone understood the dual implications of this statement.
The owner of the Eden power must have become so powerful that he was second to none.
The other implication was even clearer: the Myriad Beasts Tribunal could no longer dispatch more powerful forces. The largest assembly of leaders in centuries had ended in defeat. This had severely weakened the foundation of the tribunal. To kill that human now would require the Judge itself to be dispatched.
But that... was something no one dared to mention.
