 'If Erebos is already in this world, how far ahead is he in his plans? He must hold significant power here, especially given his role in sending me to Planet Scyle,' he contemplated, his face betraying a flicker of worry despite his effort to appear calm.

 

The Lieutenant, though not fully convinced, chose not to press further.
