That's why I couldn't afford to be complacent. But no matter his strength compared to mine, I wouldn't let him use Hope for his advantage.
Drawing upon Cosmos's strength, I strained against the chains, feeling primordial energy surge through me. Determination shone in my eyes as I growled at Valk, "Speak once it's done, Valk."
