As the generals disappear from the Lower Realm, all of Alveron's orbiting arrays and surveillance systems watch every moment of it.

They track how fast the generals disappear, the density of the mana and divine threads that formed and were used, the process in which the unstable green threads left behind collapsed back to their natural, less dense states, and lastly calculated the direction in which they shifted with as much accuracy as possible.

Of course, using normal means, this shift between realms is impossible.

To create such a flawless and large-scale shift, one would need to have a personal connection to the source, claiming a planet that is already connected, which triggers their welcome into the Upper Realm. Or, a forced ascension using a throne fueled by Silver threads.

Alveron has witnessed these two normal ascension types in the past from a distance before. Though, he has never seen beings that have not claimed worlds or used external technology from the demons ever do such a thing.

From deep within the ice prison where 24 Demons are frozen solid, a final last-ditch effort pulses outward from Helix, the leader of this attack squad.

After sending a warning about a Berserker Race to the Demonic Realm, he also allows for the advanced tech that scanned Brymia to fall out from a microscopic rift inside his own brain that is rapidly freezing.

This takes place after the seal on the cubic prison is made, as his entire body is frozen, yet small portions of his mind are still resisting the cold.

In a final act of defiance, a scan of his surroundings is pulsed outward.

It doesn't make it far, but it registers the fluctuations in space where the generals used to be.

This information is transmitted back into the black cube that rests inside of the demon, but his mind is already frozen, just like the other 23 demons.

He cannot manipulate or send this information anywhere, as he is not conscious to do so.

This pulse was too weak and non-intrusive, as it doesn't scan any living beings, so not even Alveron sensed its presence.

This is clear by the Silver Knight and Bri celebrating a success while watching the data from this strange event they just witnessed replay over and over again in front of them.

Neither can explain how it worked or what exactly the mechanism that fuels the Rising Emperor's Domain really is...

I do not pay attention to their conversation.

My concerns are far more focused on the four bright orbs of light rocketing through the Upper Realm toward the Ellipsia Citadel.

Hundreds of thousands of Lords in the citadel are instantly affected as I tear their towers in two.

Many of these towers are businesses, homes, and public spaces.

The larger towers closer to the center of the Citadel hold mostly 2nd and 3rd Class Lords, while the smaller districts further out hold tens of times more 4th and 5th Class Lords.

Though, compared to my speed and control over this Citadel, they are all at my mercy, even with three seals holding back immense levels of my power.

I trigger small ether-imbued Fast Travel orbs to activate almost half a million short-distance rides at once.

Instead of falling to the Citadel's new road, hundreds of thousands of bright white orbs form all throughout the sky, safely transporting many Lords that were present in the center of the towers that I split apart.
