I activated Echo Reversion and locked onto the Ironheart settlement.
The familiar sensation of space folding around me lasted only for an instant before my body reappeared above the settlement. I had expected to arrive quietly, retrieve the final contract and leave before anyone noticed me. Instead, the moment my vision settled, I found myself staring at a sea of people.
They were everywhere.
The roads were packed so tightly that there was barely enough space to move between them. People stood on rooftops, balconies and elevated platforms, while others hovered in the air above the settlement. Even the surrounding structures had become viewing points, with entire families standing together as they stared at the gigantic projections suspended above the settlement.
For a moment, I simply stared.
Then someone noticed me.
"It's Billion!"
The shout erupted through the settlement like an explosion.
"He is here!"
"Billion Ironheart!"
"He killed Verilux!"
