Silence remained across the Primal Firmament Realm, Envy's words still echoing off earth and sky.
The hooded figure said nothing, his form perfectly still beneath the dark fabric.
But that silence confirmed everything Envy had deduced, settled the question without a single word spoken.
The voice from the throne resonated again, carrying something that approached fascination.
"How curious~"
A pause, the crown gleaming with dark light.
"The Seed of Life you offer carries far more than what the Ever Mother's essence could provide."
Another pause, the shadows beneath the crown shifting.
"It has been nourished by something else entirely, hasn't it? By a power that transcends what even a GodKing could offer."
The crown tilted fractionally, the movement somehow conveying focus.
"Yours, I presume? Considering the depth of the bond I sense woven through its very structure."
Silence fell for three heartbeats.
"But do you know what else this tells me?"
