Rika offered no lengthy explanation.
Instead, she raised her hand and activated a spell.
Using a special form of magic, she directly transmitted everything that had happened outside into the minds of the two planetary wills.
In an instant, Alaya and Gaia understood the entire situation.
Their expressions changed dramatically.
Without wasting another second, they relayed the information throughout Izumi's world.
Almost instantly, everyone became aware of the truth.
The Dimensional World they called home...
Was about to face an unprecedented crisis.
All beings who possessed three-digit strength or higher were immediately conscripted.
They were to leave the world at once and prepare for battle.
The announcement sent shockwaves through every corner of the world.
Moments later—
Algol, Shiroyasha, Yukari Yakumo, Avrora, and countless other top-tier experts gathered before Rika.
Seeing everyone assembled, Rika immediately cast another spell.
A massive teleportation gate materialized before them.
"If you're here," she said calmly,
"then head through."
"The battlefield has already been prepared."
With that, she stepped through the portal first.
The others exchanged brief glances before following without hesitation.
No one who had reached this level of power was foolish.
They all understood one simple truth.
If they failed to unite now...
The coming disaster would consume every one of them.
That was why, the moment Alaya and Gaia had summoned them, no one had refused.
...
Passing through the teleportation gate, everyone arrived upon a newly formed continent suspended outside Izumi's world.
The moment they looked ahead—
Every face became solemn.
Before them stretched an enormous dimensional rift.
And it was continuing to expand.
Even from this distance, they could vaguely make out the desolate landscape beyond it.
An alien world.
At the same time...
A chilling pressure flowed continuously through the widening crack.
Merely sensing that aura caused everyone's expressions to darken.
"This is going to be troublesome..."
If they handled this poorly—
The consequences would be catastrophic.
The gathered experts exchanged silent glances.
No orders were necessary.
Almost instinctively, everyone sprang into action.
Some began constructing defensive formations.
Others established magical barriers.
Still others organized battle lines and command positions.
High above them, the assembled single-digit beings quietly observed the preparations.
They nodded in satisfaction.
"These youngsters aren't bad."
"But..."
"Their current strength still isn't enough."
One of the single-digit beings spoke.
"Let's help them."
"Even a slight increase in power could make all the difference."
The speaker represented the Authority of Order.
As soon as the words fell—
That single-digit existence acted first.
A vast divine power descended from above.
The experts from Izumi's world immediately felt changes within themselves.
Their strength...
Was increasing.
Before they could even react—
Another blessing descended.
Their power rose yet again.
One after another, blessings continued to fall from the heavens.
Watching the others act, Rika clicked her tongue before joining them.
She activated the Origin of Magic itself.
A gentle radiance enveloped every mage below.
Magic they had struggled to comprehend suddenly became perfectly clear.
Mysteries that had once halted their progress unraveled before their eyes.
Many experienced breakthroughs on the spot.
The crowd erupted into excitement.
None of them had expected such an incredible reward.
They had only just arrived...
Yet they had already received blessings from the highest beings in existence.
It was beyond anything they had imagined.
Without exception, every single-digit existence bestowed power upon those who inherited abilities connected to their own authority.
After all...
As the primordial sources of those powers, they possessed the ability to guide, strengthen, and elevate everyone who walked the same path.
