The one who recognized the connection between Shannon and the Divine Power wasn't herself but Benjamin.
He knew earlier than the entire Wynthorpe clan that Shannon was different. Like, how she could see the golden light surrounding him before he even awakened his true form.
Or, how she could determine between the strong and the weak, judging from the color of one's fortune and supernatural energy.
That was the Hues of Creation, something that only the Divine Power could glimpse.
Long before all this, she could even draw away the golden light that cloaked him, claiming it for her own use.
What she didn't know was that all those casual acts she took for granted were privileges granted to her by the Divine Power.
In the past, Benjamin couldn't understand the truth of his existence. Once he did, though, everything became clear.
He was the Dragon Vein, born from Elowen's sacrifice of her divine soul. The golden light that surrounded him came from the fortune of Crisea and, more than that, from Elowen herself.
She was meant to be the next Divine Power. In other words, the golden light that clung to him had always belonged to the Divine Power.
Shannon had never thought deeply about it before. It wasn't until she inherited the Might of the Divine Power and came into contact with the sapling that her ancestral consciousness awakened.
The Ten-Tailed Elythune was born of heaven and earth; its very existence was connected to the Divine Power.
The reason it could communicate with it was because the Ten-Tailed Elythune was the destined successor, chosen by the Divine Power itself.
However, Elowen had forsaken her right to become the next Divine Power for Lucan's sake, so the Divine Power left behind its consciousness and the divine token to her reincarnation.
Thus, the one standing here now was both Shannon and the Divine Power itself.
Having inherited the divine token, she naturally held the right to judge the Alternate Divine Power.
Before her, the golden silhouette was swiftly engulfed by the endless darkness that bore catastrophe. Only then did panic finally show upon it.
