With his point made, Daniel fell silent, allowing Envy to contemplate his words.
Envy remained in silence, her expression growing increasingly complex. She understood the implications of Daniel's words and was well-versed in the inner workings and mindset of the Hightower. As Daniel revealed not just his individual power but also the vast forces and advanced technology of Atlantis from its Golden Age that he had at his disposal, Envy realized that this could potentially trigger a conflict.
Whether driven by greed or fear, a mage civil war, possibly escalating into a worldwide conflict like WW3, could erupt. She saw the looming threat of the very catastrophe she aimed to prevent, but on an even larger scale.
Observing Envy's conflicted expression, Daniel let out a sigh. He recognized that look – it was the contemplation of choosing a side or course of action.
