The violent pillar of blue light wrapping around Alex Storm was every bit as grand and thunderous as Damian’s, sending an immediate wave of intense speculation through the crowd.
Nobles leaned over their balconies, frantically debating whether the Storm heir would match the Darkmore prodigy’s terrifying results or perhaps completely surpass them.
Slowly, the tempestuous light dimmed, gradually receding until it vanished entirely.
Alex smoothly pulled his hand back from the warm crystal pedestal, his eyes tracking the private status window materializing before his vision.
A moment later, the primary crystal system cast his public hologram across the Hall.
< Name: Alex Storm >
< Talent: Mythic >
< Special Talent: Eyes of Truth > [ SSS ]
< Path: Arcane >
< Cultivation: Not yet cultivated >
< Physique: Heavenly Arcane Physique > [ SS ]
< Bloodline: Azure Storm Dragon Bloodline > [ SS ]
< Affinity/s: Storm > [ SSS ]
The entire amphitheater fell completely dead silent for a long moment, every single eye glued to the glowing golden text.
Another Mythic-rank talent? And another SS-rank physique?
This time, the lesser nobles clamped their mouths shut, deliberately holding back their speech to avoid being publicly silenced by the announcer.
But the profound shock in their eyes and their trembling expressions communicated everything.
Up in the VIP lounge, Duke William Storm burst into a proud, delighted laugh.
"Hahaha! My boy truly has talent! With that Heavenly Arcane Physique and the Eyes of Truth, his magical path will be absolutely smooth sailing!"
True to his words, these specific stats guaranteed that Alex would become a legendary, world-renowned Mage.
With this foundation, ascending past the mortal realm into the higher stages of cosmic power would pose no challenge at all.
Furthermore, his SSS-rank Storm affinity granted him unparalleled elemental connection. Because the Storm attribute was a supreme fusion element, Alex would inherently command absolute control over lightning, water, and wind alike.
Aldrich turned to William and Amelia, offering his genuine congratulations. "Congratulations, William, Amelia. Your son is destined for immense success."
Duke Ignis Solaris eagerly chimed in from the side. "Yes, congratulations! The boy is going to be an absolutely deadly mage."
William beamed, nodding gratefully. "Thanks, guys."
Before the families could celebrate further, the announcer’s voice boomed across the hall once more, moving the ceremony along.
"Next. Anastasia Crownshield."
The young miss of the Guardian Duke’s family stood up. As the direct heir of House Crownshield, she was destined to become the future personal guardian and ultimate shield of the First Princess.
She possessed vibrant blonde hair and warm brown eyes, stepping forward from her station directly beside the royal seats.
As Anastasia marched purposefully toward the pedestal, Alex walked back up the grand stairs to the VIP lounge.
He carried himself with an intentionally goofy, puffed-out sense of playful arrogance, lifting his head high to show off to the families, which earned an amused chuckle from the adults.
Soon, the bright blue light flared around Anastasia, initiating the exact same profound awakening process.
After a spectacular display of dazzling cosmic energy, the vortex finally dissolved. Anastasia quietly analyzed her private interface as the public system projected her results.
< Name: Anastasia Crownshield >
< Talent: Mythic >
< Special Talent: Absolute Mirror Aegis > [ SSS ]
< Path: Warrior >
< Cultivation: Not yet cultivated >
< Physique: Boundless Starcrusher Physique > [ SS ]
< Bloodline: Heavenly Worldshield Dragon Bloodline > [ SS ]
< Affinity/s: Earth [ SS ], Metal [ SS ], Shield [ SS ] >
A wave of profound, uncontrollable shock rolled through the audience yet again.
This time, the sheer weight of the reveal made it impossible for some to remain silent.
"By the heavens... this new generation is absolutely monstrous! They aren’t just matching their parents. They are entirely surpassing them!" a noble cried out, staring in absolute disbelief at the third consecutive Mythic-rank awakening.
"Three Mythic talents, three supreme physiques, three legendary bloodlines... is this a Golden Generation?" another added, his voice heavily laced with a toxic mixture of intense envy and deep awe.
As the frantic murmurs began to escalate, the announcer merely swept a cold, authoritative glance across the lower rows, instantly freezing the crowd back into absolute silence.
Anastasia didn’t waste a single second lingering on her miraculous stats. She politely withdrew from the stage and marched straight back to her post.
Princess Elysaria looked at her close friend and future guardian, her face breaking into a bright, happy smile.
"Congratulations, Annie! I am incredibly happy for you."
Anastasia offered a warm smile, bowing her head slightly. "Thank you, El—Your Highness."
She caught herself just in time, nearly slipping up and using the princess’s private nickname. That name was a highly exclusive privilege granted to her by Elysaria, meant to be used only when they were entirely away from the formal eyes of the Emperor and Empress.
Elysaria merely chuckled lightly at her friend’s frantic correction.
Emperor Drakon completely ignored the minor breach of royal protocol. He looked over at the Guardian Duke and Duchess, his voice booming with grand approval while the Empress shared an amused smile beside him.
"Congratulations, Aurelius, Celestia. You have been blessed with an truly exceptional child."
Aurelius and Celestia stood up, bowing slightly with deep, flawless respect. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The announcer’s voice cut through the air once more. "Next.Sophia Solaris."
The moment her name was called, Sophia stood up from her seat in the VIP box. Her parents, along with the Storm and Astaraeas families, warmly wished her the best of luck.
She walked down the grand stairs, her long red gown trailing elegantly behind her as she stepped onto the central stage.
Showing absolutely no hesitation, she raised her hand and firmly pressed her palm against the surface of the Awakening Crystal.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the entire amphitheater shook. An explosion of brilliant, blinding Golden Light erupted from the core of the crystal.
Unlike the blue light of the previous children, this golden torrent shot straight up into the air, completely bypassing the physical ceiling of the palace by phasing cleanly through the solid structure, punching a visible pillar of divine energy directly into the high sky above.
The entire audience froze in absolute, mind-numbing shock. Even the powerful Great Dukes and the Imperial Family sat completely stunned, their royal composure shattering instantly.
"A... a golden light?!" a noble gasped, his hands trembling as he stared at the pillar of energy in pure disbelief.
Pandemonium threatened to break out as every noble box erupted into frantic, chaotic whispers.
"That is impossible!"
"Could it be... a Divine-rank talent?!"
That single word—Divine—acted like a spark dropped into a powder keg. Every single face in the room completely changed color, their eyes wide with staggering realization.
They did not have to wait long for the official confirmation.
The roaring golden pillar slowly began to dim, gradually receding back into the crystal orb until it vanished entirely.
Sophia remained perfectly still on the platform, her small hand resting against the glass.
Her deep red, gem-like eyes widened in absolute, staggering disbelief as she read her private status window.
A split-second later, the Awakening Crystal projected her legendary metrics for the entire world to bear witness to.
< Name: Sophia Solaris >
< Talent: Divine >
< Special Talent: Absolute Combat Adaptation > [ EX ]
< Path: Warrior >
< Cultivation: Not yet cultivated >
< Physique: War God Physique > [ EX ]
< Bloodline: Solar Dragon Bloodline > [ EX ]
< Affinity/s: Sun [ EX ], Fire [ SSS ], Lava [ SS ] >
"..."
The entire grand hall fell into an absolute, suffocating silence for one single heartbeat.
And then, the entire building completely exploded into pure, unadulterated chaos.
"WHAAAAAT?!"
