Affinity:Chaos

"Bye."

"Hi."

The transition was so smooth that even before Klaus' words entered their ears, Grey was already in sight. 

Before they could move, they felt a stinging pain, looking around, it was as if they were standing in an inferno. 

Grey was standing in the middle of the inferno like a god as he watched them silently. 

The crowd, who were still in shock due to the small conflict between Grey and Klaus, were stunned by the turn of events, but they couldn't even speak about it because they were witnessing the shock of their lives. 

Since the start of the competition, Reynolds was the only one who had done something almost similar to a domain. It only missed a few details or else it would've been a complete domain. However, right in front of them was a true domain, made by someone who is still in the Overlord Plane. 

This person was only in the Seventh stage of the Overlord Plane. If that wasn't shocking, they didn't know what was. 

All the Elders from the top Factions were on their feet. They were already astounded by Reynolds' ability to make a semi-domain, but Grey didn't just make a domain, he used it to perfection. This showed that this was not the first time he was using it. 

"Where did such a genius come from?" One of the Elders from a top fire-based Faction asked in shock. 

Now, he was a little afraid of trying to take in Grey. If Grey has such abilities, it meant he was definitely under the tutelage of someone powerful. If he wasn't, there was no way he would understand things about the elements by this much. Whoever was teaching him must also be an Array Grandmaster. 

"He's definitely from one of the big Families. It's impossible that such a genius would come from nowhere. He must've been training in secret, but now they finally let him loose." Another Elder said. 

Thinking about it properly, they finally understood why Klaus and others were such powerful figures. They must've also been training in secret. The only reason they agreed to join a Faction was probably because they needed more training. 

Grey didn't need anyone since he was already this powerful. Without his domain, the only people who could rival him in the Overlord Plane were those geniuses with cyan and above elemental grade. And the Elders knew for a fact that the geniuses must either be in the Ninth stage or at the Peak. Now, with his domain, he was basically invincible in the Overlord Plane.

The strength of a domain lies in its dominant power. Without sufficient strength, even some Early Sage Plane Elementalists would find it difficult to break out of the domain's hold. A domain was like a cage, giving the owner absolute power. 

Those trapped inside a domain would not be able to bring out one-third of their original strength. 

Just looking at Grey, they could already see him dominating the world even at this young age. 

"It's best to see if he would want to join any of us like his friends did. If he agrees, then we will all congratulate the Faction he joins. But if not, just ensure we make a good impression on him." An Elder from another top fire-based Faction advised. 

"This boy is a genius. I would like to invite him over to my Faction." An Elder from one of the top space-based Factions said. 

He wasn't even interested in Grey joining them, all he wanted to do was to create a good relationship with him. As much as the top of trying to convince Grey to join them was high, they also didn't want to force him into making any decisions. A genius like Grey couldn't grow in a place where he was held captive. Even if he grows, it would be for the sole purpose of revenge. 

The thought of training your killer was something none of them wanted to have. Not just that, but the power behind him might be powerful enough to wipe out their Faction. Although they are among the top Factions in this Region, there are levels among the top Factions. 

There are some individuals that can easily wipe out a Faction like theirs on this Continent. Of all the people in the entire Western Continent, there's a terrifying figure in the Dawson Family that can even turn the Middle Continent upside down. Unless the old monsters decide to intervene, very few people in the Aurora Continent as a whole can challenge him. 

They all came to the decision as the man from the space-based Faction. They would invite Grey over to their Faction, and if he agrees to come, they would try to build a solid relationship with him. 

Of all the Factions present, three of them in particular smiled at each other. With one of Grey's friends joining them, it was already evident that they had formed a tie with him. As long as they do not do anything bad to his friends, they would be in a good relationship with him. Besides, it wasn't as if they tortured their members in the first place. 

"A shame he doesn't have the water element, but I'll give him a special technique anyway." One of the Elders from the Moonlight Faction said. 

Her words opened the door for the others and they all agreed to give him a special technique. Even the smaller Factions felt compelled to give him some kind of gift as well. 

While the Elders were speaking about Grey and how to get on his good side. Kyle had his mouth wide open. When he heard them speak of Grey awakening his domain, he still felt a little doubtful. However, seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't contain his shock. 

Kyle who already knew of this information was already this shocked, it was easy to predict the state of the others who knew nothing about this. All the youths, as well as the old people were staring at Grey, all standing still as if they were frozen. 

Grey just shocked the entire arena into silence.
