Grey's eyes flickered with interest.
The crystal was a law crystal.
It subtly carried traces of spatial law, its internal structure attuned to a specific set of coordinates. When brought close to the correct location, it could either stabilize a spatial node or force it open.
"Let's go there," Grey said with a faint smile.
With this, the High Order's influence over the southern region would be swept away.
Yet at the same time, a far greater threat loomed above him.
A fourth-rank existence had already taken notice of him.
That was no small matter.
If that being chose to act directly, the entire southern region could be buried without resistance.
This was a grave miscalculation on his part.
And yet…
The fact that the fourth-rank existence had not acted so far meant something was restraining it.
Grey slowed his steps, his thoughts deepening.
No fourth-rank being had ever set foot in the southern region.
Why?
Was it disdain?
Or was it something else entirely?
