"Well, for now, everyone, go back into the Dimensional Realm," Rean said to the Blacksmiths and Formations Masters. In a second, everyone disappeared, and so did Rean's Blacksmith Workshop.
'Sister Orb, are you ready?' Roan asked through their connection.
[Yes, I can open a path to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm at any moment.]
Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded. 'Open it.'
Immediately, a tunnel connecting the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the outside world appeared.
*Bzzzzz...*
Following that, the big Fragment inside the Dimensional Realm felt the presence of the Fragment outside, and both tried to pull towards each other. Of course, because the Fragment the twins had was a fusion of several Fragments, its pulling power was much stronger, so the Fragment in the Azum Dimensional Realm was immediately dragged into the tunnel connecting both places... or so it should have been.
*Tremble!*
Unfortunately, that wasn't what happened. Just as the Fragment was about to pass through the tunnel, a powerful force held onto it. With that, a pulling battle between both sides started, which caused the entire Azum Dimensional Realm to shake.
Neither Rean nor Roan were surprised by that. If the Fragment could be taken away from the Azum Dimensional Realm that easily, Lostrai would have left this place a long time ago. The only doubt was which side would win, their bigger Fragment or the Fragment that had the backing of the entire Azum Dimensional Realm.
Inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, the Big Fragment tried to move towards the Fragment outside. Naturally, Sister Orb intervened, not allowing it to leave its place. If it wanted to move, it would have to move the entire Planet inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm with it.
The twins and Sister Orb watched to see which one would succumb first. If the pulling force from the Azul Dimensional Realm Fragment ended up forcing the Planet to come out, Sister Orb would immediately close the tunnel, and they would have to think about another method.
Both the Planet in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the Azum Dimensional Realm continued to shake with more and more strength. In the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb had already warned everyone, so they were prepared. But the Angels in the Azum Dimensional Realm were different. They were all panicked, having not seen such a phenomenon before.
The only exception was a few angel subordinates of the Holamenor Clan. They were warned by Spiegel that something might happen to the Dimensional Realm, so they were to keep an eye on it.
*Crack, crack, crack...*
Suddenly, countless cracks began to appear all over the Spatial Walls of the Azum Dimensional Realm. When one looked up at the Spatial Walls, one could see the Spatial Stomrs and Rifts connected to the fabric of space. That only scared the Angels even more.
The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, on the other hand, was doing fairly well. Other than the Planet shaking due to the Fragment's force, the Dimensional Realm itself was as sturdy as a rock.
[Rean, Roan, the Azum Dimensional Realm won't last much longer if we continue this, you know?] In her eyes, Sister Orb was pretty certain the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm would win. After all, the Control Orb was something of an even higher level than the Fragments themselves.
Rean sighed and then pulled out a device. Right after, his voice echoed in the entire Azum Dimensional Realm.
-This Dimensional Realm is about to collapse. If you don't want to die, use the altars to leave this place. This is the first and only warning. If anyone insists on staying inside, do not blame me for the consequences.-
All the angels were taken aback. Such a thing had never happened before, either. Rean was able to do that after spending a lot of time here with Lostrai. Lostrai never told him much about the Formations Runes he learned, but he at least helped Rean with some of the most basic ones. Lostrai had used this before; it's just that no one remembers it. Now, Rean used it instead.
"You are too good for your own good. That was the same as saying there was someone in this place doing something most angels didn't know was possible," Roan spoke disapprovingly. "Once they saw the Dimensional Realm collapsing more, they would leave anyway."
Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Well, there are always those who want to try their luck. If I can save at least a few more, then it is worth it. Besides, I can also pass for an Angel, so no one would know I was involved with this thing once we left this place."
The cracks all voer the Azum Dimensional Realm continued to increase. Finally, Spatial Rifts and Storms from outside began to enter the Dimensional Realm, striking countless places at the same time. Rean and Roan didn't seem to mind, though. They were strong enough to resist this initial chaos even if a Rift of Storm came their way. It simply can't compare to what happened back in the Floating Islands of Time.
Suddenly, Rean looked in a certain direction, and his eyes narrowed. "One of the Energy Sources has fallen into a Spatial Rift. Now, there are only three holding the creature at the center of the five cities."
Roan nodded. Rean was more than capable enough to set up some alarms during the time Rean waited for him to come. "How many did we need for the sealing formation to continue to work?"
"Three," Rean answered. "Well, that's what Lostrai said, at least." There were five, but Rean had already destroyed one, and the second one was gone now.
Rean then looked in another direction and couldn't help but sigh. "I wonder if it is okay to leave those Light Beasts behind."
Roan shook his head. "Different from the Shadow Ferals, those Light Beasts aren't real creatures. They exist in the Dimensional Realm only, so there is nothing we can do."
Rean wanted to say something else, but it was at this moment that the equilibrium between both sides crumbled. The Azum Dimensional Realm became too damaged to hold its Fragment on this side, so it was pulled into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
