The Empyreal Gem Master

The trembling earth.

Such a phenomenon did not just occur in two or three Strongholds but across the lands of Ephesus.

Over the Strongholds and the City Fortresses of Galanis, Drakos, Argyros, and Asmodeus Lineages, the lands shook as if they were roaring in anger

In the skies, Alexander short forth like a bolt of crimson lightning, his calm gaze looking down ever so often as he could visibly see the tremor of the earth!

In a short period of time, he crossed over the distant skies until he reached the City of Anan once more.

It took less than half an hour, and in this time, his Enneagram had gone ahead and stipulated what the best Gem Recipe would be for him to bind to the Summon Undead Ability Gem.

Everything was put in order, but Alexander wanted to ensure the safety of his father and he knew Claire felt the same as he made his first priority to get to the City of Carthage!

Behind him, Claire, Azazel, and Anastasia, along with the others, arrived just as quickly as he did not even make a stop once he reached Anan, simply going through the breach within the city that would lead to the Breach Within a Breach- into the Den of Corruption.

All of this occurred in an extremely short period of time!

Time that was made even shorter by the fact that Alexander was moving a millionth of the speed of light with him rapidly crossing through the Den of Corruption and seeing the skies of Carthage once more.

Here, the earth was shaking just as mightily.

Shockingly, the tremors were so potent that the walls of Carthage had begun to crumble- the Gem Masters stationed nearby moving frantically as stones and boulders were being moved aside to save the Gem Masters within the collapsed parts of the wall!

In the skies, the figure of Claire's father could be seen burning with blue lightning as he floated in the skies and shouted commands, while he himself sent out tendrils that grabbed parts of the decimated wall and flung them off in the distance to save those underneath.

The Flame Crow that he left behind was shouldering a portion of the wall from breaking down and falling as near it, Alexander saw his Father.

It was a chaotic scene as nearly 40% of the Wall protectively surrounding Carthage had fallen!

The appearance of Alexander, along with the powerful auras of Claire and others caused many shocked gazes to turn their way as the Minions currently expressed a shocking aura of power.

Minions whose power had to truly be re-evaluated after the ridiculous boons of the most recent Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil!

But none of this mattered currently, as the figure of Alexander appeared beside his father and looked at the chaotic scene around them.

Subconsciously, he began moving his hands as they radiated brilliant verdant seeds towards the earth below and moments later, massive vines began to sprout from the ground below and stretched out to support any areas of the failing walls due to the trembling earth

His father looked at the scene with incredulity as he asked in a somber tone.

"Do you know what is happening?"

At this moment, what exactly was happening?

Even Alexander couldn't answer this with confidence as he replied while looking around.

"I can't say for sure, but it might just be the start of Energeia Star Ascension that the Beast Races have been talking about.

The Ascension of a World!

A world shedding apart its shell and becoming something evermore pristine, with this world supposed to be even more dazzling to the point that terrifying armies of Beast Races were drawn here.

Alexander's father listened to this while becoming even more somber, his voice echoing out with wisdom.

"Any change that starts with the very world shaking…may not be an entirely good one."

…!

The words were enough to inspire fear.

CAA!

Moments later, the cries of the Caladrius and other Minions under Noah's banner also arrived through the Den of Corruption as all of his Minions were in the same place, with Alexander beckoning Anastasia and Vishpala over to him.

He asked them with a cold gaze.

"The Energeia Star Ascension within your worlds or others- it began with the very lands shaking?"

He had to ask.

And these two Beast Lords looked at each other before they turned back to him and shook their heads.

It meant they were all in the realm of unknown as-

BOOM!

The land shook so heavily that at this moment, a massive fissure opened as the earth split apart!

From it, a sea of radiant blue waves of Energeia gushed out and spilled into the surroundings.

The concentration of energy in the surroundings instantly began to increase.

But this wasn't all.

The opened fissure…it felt like it was getting wider as it did not reveal a hole- but more and more brown earth seemed to be emerging from it.

As new land was coming out.

As if the earth was being split apart and stretching!

The fissure rapidly spread out and became even bigger, going all the way towards the portal that led into the Den of Corruption as…

RIIP!

As if the fissure was tearing apart paper, the Breach leading to the Den of Corruption was ripped apart and actually destroyed- beginning to disappear as even the skies seemed to be shaking madly at this point!

The Gem Masters shuddered as horror dawned on their faces.

This was because many turned their gazes back to the City of Carthage, and within it…countless fissures had begun opening as the City Fortress was being ripped apart.

Buildings that were right next to each other were instantly miles away as the land between them expanded and exploded out.

Screams echoed out en masse as some people fell into the expanding fissures while others tried to jump around this hellish scene!

And an instant later, the earth shook even more as a sharp point of earth rose at the center of Carthage, this mound of earth rising rapidly as it shone with multicolored radiance and gushed out waves of potent Energeia.

A mountain was rising within the center of Carthage.

It pushed apart and destroyed everything else as seeing such a scene, horror and pain bloomed on the faces of the Branch Leaders and Gem Masters as Alexander's Father yelled out maddeningly!

"Save all those you can! Save them!"

A few million men, women, and children within Carthage.

At the sight of this apocalyptic scene, it was unknown if even a fraction of them would survive.

What was this?

What was this?!

This was Energeia Star Ascension? It seemed more like a Cataclysm!
