When Fenrir opened his eyes again, the world was still—unnaturally so.
Dust clung to his skin like memory, but the moment he stirred, it vanished. His body thrummed with energy, not wild or unstable like before, but controlled—refined.
The power of Boundless Authority had fully merged with him. It didn't scream for release. It obeyed.

There was only one place left to go.
"Activate Boundless Authority."
He ordered.
